Script+and+Reflection

Annie: Hey Jenna, I hear you’re doing a project in sociology, and I’m taking it next year, so I have a ton of questions. Jenna: Okay, what’s up? Annie: well what was your topic? Jenna: It’s about urban youth, and how geographical location strongly influences your future. Annie: Oh that’s cool, why did that interest you? Jenna: Well mainly because I’m a teen, and I want to get to know about other lives and how people live. It’s really interesting to me to find out others way of life. Also, I wanted to see how different life is just from your location. Annie: Oh cool, what did you find? Jenna: I found that most youth living in inner city have a hard time with school, family life, and other issues. There’s a high chance that they will drop out, or have a child, or be in jail because of drugs or theft, etc. I found that their goals were not set high, because they didn’t get proper knowledge or education. Annie: So why don’t they just move? Jenna: The problem is that they’re stuck in that location, and the cycle won’t be broken. They don’t have any money to move or lead a better lifestyle. They usually drop out, don’t get proper education, which causes a low paying job, which forces them to never move on, and stay in that neighborhood. Annie: Well this topic sounds interesting, what problems did you come across? Jenna: So many! Haha. Even though I loved researching this topic and finding more information, it was hard. I looked up many broad topics but didn’t really get to narrow it down further, like I wanted. I found more information on urban life, but not suburban. I learned that there are some solutions to these issues by going to after school programs, or having a job at a young age, or a good family life really can help you succeed later. Annie: Yeah, so if I wanted to do this topic, where would I stary? Jenna: well you would start by finding books that experts in this field have written about city life. This will give you a good ground level and comprehension of the topic. Later, you have to find statistics, and articles or interviews by teens that actually live in these areas.

Annie: One more question, there's something about a paradigm? I don't know what this would fall into?

Jenna: Well this would be social-conflict. It's social-conflict because it effects the society and causes contraversy between others in the society. These young kids are getting into trouble and starting trouble which makes contraversy larger and others to be effected. Not only are youths becoming more distructive to themselves, but they are effecting our world and crime around us. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Annie: Is it hard to relate to them though? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Jenna: Not at all, we are all teens. Even though we come from different backgrounds, we all relate to eachother on some level, which made this project more fun for me. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Annie: Great! Thank you so much for your help, I can’t wait for next year and learning more about this project, you helped a lot with where I should start, and what advice to take in. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Jenna: Your Welcome!
