Unit 1: Building Community/Facing Violence- Thesis Revision and Body Paragraphs


In order to address the problem of violence in the community, we need leaders, parents and authority figures to possess of the correct values, to initiate the help that the young people need to create a new life for themselves. Communities need to change the way we approach and judge our young people. We need to establish vital  relationships between adults and young people to be able to get through to them. In addition, we must provide community centers that allow the youth to express themselves, discover their creative abilities, and practice spiritual development so they can attain control over their lives.

Body ParagraphTopic: Spiritual Development

Today's society does not provide the youth with [trusting metaphors] nor spiritual development guidance that can help them develop initiation. Instead, society creates mythic images and representations for youth to look up, which can effect them negatively. Likewise, in most cases youth turn to gangs, violence, etc., because they lack of a mentor or role model to guide them. Having such can help the youth in transforming and discovering themselves.
