Writing Proposal

            When writing my first paper I came across a very huge problem, I was did not agree with my article the entire time.  Which caused me to end up writing the wrong kind of paper at first.  What I hope to properly write about this time is the way the two articles go hand in hand and the ways that they seem to disregard each other.

            The second article I chose talks about introducing speech and language therapy for young offenders and how it would reduce re-offending and help them into employment on release. 

            My very first article had its main focus on how to better narrow down who was at risk of becoming an offender because of the way they were raised, who they were and the kind of environment they were in.  They studied each individual in a juvenile center and tested him or her to see where their education level was at, to reinstate their suspicion about speech and language troubles being the cause of teens that become young offenders.

            How my two articles connect is, when you look at it, you want these teens to have a better chance.  Anyone with a heart would understand that every child needs a chance.  These teens are the next generation, the next in line to work in our stores, to run our buisness’ and to help mold the next generation.  If we don’t give them a fighting chance then we are setting the future up for failure.  The second article is all about how we need to fix the Tick Box in Juvenile Centers so that more teens have opportunities to get job interviews even though they have committed a felony.  They author insists that if you look at the person and see who they are rather then a piece of paper that states what they’ve done wrong, you can see them for who they truly are giving more teens a chance to work and create a better future for themselves.

            I very much agree with what this article has to say to some extent.  On one hand I think that giving them a hard working job is going to better them and help them in so many aspects but on the other hand I don’t know how I would feel if my co worker has committed a felony or multiple felony’s considering the person.
