6. How Culture Shapes
Many Aspects Of
Adolescent
Development ?

7. Culture is a complex and dynamic
phenomenon that influences many aspects
of adolescent development. Culture shapes
how adolescents perceive themselves, their
relationships, their values, their goals, and
their roles in society. I have here one of the
ways that culture affects adolescent
development:

8. • Culture affects the development of identity, which is the sense
of who one is and what one stands for. Identity development
involves exploring different aspects of oneself, such as
gender, ethnicity, religion, and personality, and integrating
them into a coherent whole. Culture provides a source of
identity by offering a set of norms, beliefs, and practices that
adolescents can identify with or reject. Culture also influences
how adolescents express their identity, such as through
clothing, music, language, and hobbies. For example, some
cultures emphasize the importance of maintaining a strong
connection to one’s ethnic or religious heritage, while others
encourage more individualistic or cosmopolitan expressions of
identity

9. Teenagers Who Join Youth
Groups And Other Clubs Are
Happier And Less Likely To Drink

10. Because, belonging to a group can provide
adolescents with emotional and practical support,
as well as a sense of belonging and purpose. These
factors can enhance their well-being and
resilience, and reduce their need to cope with
stress or boredom by drinking alcohol and a way
to avoid smoking. Additionally, being part of a
group can expose adolescents to positive role
models and norms that discourage substance use
and promote healthy behaviors and as well joining
to a group or clubs increase your personal
relationship to other peoples.

11. Communicate Activity: Get

activities or volunteering can boost your
confidence and self-esteem and help you

Theme
:

13. Community activities and civic
responsibility
• Community activity is part of 'civic
responsibility'. It's about doing things
in our community because we want to
or feel we should, rather than
because we have to by law.

14. • Joining a Youth Club, a scouting group or a local environmental or
clean up group.
• Helping with a primary school play, or coordinating or coaching
junior sports.
• Setting up an arts space for the community or getting involved in
youth radio.
• Being part of a youth advisory group through the local council.
• Promoting causes - for example, clean environment, recycling, get
active in sports
You can take civic responsibility and be active in your community by:

15. You might be interested in online civic or
community activities - for example, an
online campaign to save a local area of
wildlife. Online community involvement
can motivate you to get involved in face-
to-face community activities.

17. Here are some personal rewards and feelings of achievement when you get
involved in a community activities:
1. ROLE MODELS
• By getting involved with community activities, you can
come into contact with like-minded peers and positive
adult role models other than your parents. Interacting and
cooperating with other adults encourages you to see the
world in different ways. It puts your own family
experiences and values into a wider context.

18. • A role model is a person whose behaviour, example, or
success serves as a model to be emulated by others,
especially by younger people1. Role models can inspire
others to be their best self, to learn new skills, to overcome
challenges, and to pursue their dreams. Role models can be
found in different categories, such as real-life, everyday, and
common role models.

19. Example of being a role models:
Your family might have certain religious or spiritual
beliefs — or none at all — but when you come into
contact with others who believe different things, perhaps
through some charity work, you might see some new
ways of putting beliefs into action for the good of others.

20. 2. Identity And Connection
• Young people are busy working out who they are and where they fit in the
world. They try out different identities, experiment with different styles of
dress and might try out a range of different activities and hobbies.
• Being involved in community activities can give you a positive way of
understanding who are you are. As a result, you might come to see yourself
as helpful, generous, political or just a 'good' person in general. Being
involved in community activities can also help create a sense of being
connected to your local community and the wider world.

21. • Identity and connection are two important concepts in psychology
and sociology that relate to how people understand themselves
and relate to others. Identity is the conception of one self as a
member of a group or category, such as gender, race, nationality,
religion, occupation, etc. Connection is the feeling of belonging or
attachment to a group or person, such as family, friends,
community, etc. Identity and connection are interrelated, as they
influence each other in various ways.

22. • identity and connection is how our communication style reflects and shapes
our sense of who we are and how we relate to others. Communication is not
only a way of expressing our thoughts and feelings, but also a way of
constructing and negotiating our identity in different contexts and situations.
For instance, the way we communicate with our family members may be
different from the way we communicate with our friends, colleagues, or
strangers. This may indicate that we have different aspects of our identity
that we emphasize or suppress depending on the situation and the
expectations of others. Communication can also influence how we perceive
ourselves and how others perceive us.

23. Example of identity and connection:
If we communicate confidently and assertively, we may feel more
self-assured and competent, and others may respect us more. On
the other hand, if we communicate timidly and hesitantly, we may
feel more insecure and doubtful, and others may underestimate
us. Therefore, communication and identity are closely related and
mutually affect each other.

24. 3. Skills
• Community activities give you the chance to apply the skills
you already have. For example, you could use the cooking
skills you have learned at home at a community feeding
program or at a school fund-raising program. Voluntary
work and community activities are also great opportunities
to show initiative and develop skills to get a job.

25. • Skills are the abilities or talents that you have or can learn to
perform various tasks or activities. Skills can be divided into
two main categories: hard skills and soft skills. Hard skills are
the technical or practical skills that you need to do a specific
job, such as programming, accounting, writing, etc. Soft skills
are the personal or interpersonal skills that help you work well
with others, communicate effectively, solve problems, etc.

26. Example of skills:
The school fund-raising project could give you
experience in speaking to customers and handling cash.
Volunteering for the community feeding project might
help you prepare for getting a part-time job as a esiter.
For those who are interested in being a vet, helping out at
an animal shelter or washing and walking local dogs is a
good way to demonstrate commitment and get a
reference.

27. Being able to manage free time while
balancing leisure, work and study is an
important life skills. Being part of part of a
community activities could motivate you to
get more organised and start to manage your
own time.

28. 4. Self-confidence, mental health and
wellbeing
• Self-confidence, mental health and wellbeing are three
interrelated concepts that affect how we think, feel and
act. Self-confidence is the belief in one’s own abilities and
worth. Mental health is the state of well-being in which
we can cope with the normal stresses of life, work
productively and contribute to society. Wellbeing is the
experience of happiness, satisfaction and meaning in life.

29. • Community activities can boost one's self confidence. You can learn to
deal with challenges, communicate with different people and build up
your life skills and abilities in a supportive environment. This is also good
for your self-esteem. It's also a great foundation for general and mental
health and wellbeing. It can be very positive psychologically for you to
have something that gets you involved, where others expect you to turn
up and take part, and where you're supported to achieve something as
part of a group. These positive feelings can help protect you from
sadness and depression. Being involved in some kind of community
activity can also reduce the likelihood of substance abuse, mental illness
and criminal activity.

30. A person who has experienced childhood abuse decides to seek professional help to cope
with the trauma and heal from the emotional wounds. They learn to value themselves and
practice self-care by eating well, sleeping enough, exercising regularly, and engaging in
positive activities that bring them joy. They also develop a supportive network of friends and
family who respect and care for them. They overcome their negative beliefs and self-
defeating thoughts and start to feel more confident and optimistic about their future. They
realize that their mental health is important and that they deserve to be happy and healthy.
They are able to function well in their daily life and contribute to society in meaningful ways.
They have a good sense of wellbeing, confidence and self-esteem.
Example of self confidence, mental health
and wellbeing:
