Generations Lost considers the unusual relationship between popular culture and American youth in a collection of essays touching on differing aspects of this current social crisis. Following a rash of school shootings culminating in the massacre at Columbine High, a heated national debate arose over the potentially toxic effects of contemporary culture and its voice--mass media-- on teens. Evidence suggests youth are in crisis. With absentee parents, failing schools and a lack of role models, adolescents have adopted the values and behaviors of those media-made heroes and myths they are bombarded by. Minus the steadying presence of adults to counteract this deception, they are especially vulnerable to this insidious universe of influences. Bizarre images and bogus representations of reality have distorted their perception. Television, films, video games and cyberspace contribute to their corruption. For youth, reality as adults knew and taught it to children no longer exists. This crucial difference in perception and subsequent behavior accounts for many of the extreme anti-social disorders youth now display.

"During the Depression years, J. Arthur Rath spent his early childhood shuttled between relatives and foster parents in Hawai'i and on the mainland while his single mother, Hualani, struggled to make a living. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, his grandparents sent him to the Big Island and Konawaena School, where he heard the Kamehameha Schools boy choir at a school assembly. The performance made a deep impression on Rath, and a year later, in 1944, he entered Kamehameha as an eighth-grade boarder. Thus began Rath's love affair with an institution that he credits with turning his life around, with giving him and other disadvantaged children of native ancestry - Hawai'i's "lost generations" - the confidence and support necessary to make something of themselves. This is the story of that love affair. It is also the story of Rath's recent battle, together with other alumni, for the integrity of his beloved Kamehameha against the school's trustees and their organization, the powerful Bishop Estate." "Intelligent and impressionable, Rath spent an idyllic four years at Kamehameha. In a lively talk-story manner, he reminisces about campus life and his classmates, many of whom became lifelong friends and influential members of the Hawaiian community: Don Ho, Nona Beamer, Oswald Stender, Tom Hugo, William Fernandez. Years later Rath, a successful retired businessman, would call on these same friends to hold Kamehameha's trustees accountable for their mismanagement of Bishop Estate's vast financial holdings and ultimately their failure to carry out founder Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop's mandate to educate Hawaiian children. Rath draws on his many personal ties to the school and the estate to provide surprising revelations on the trustees and the "Bishop Estate Scandal," which made headlines daily throughout the mid-1990s."--BOOK JACKET.

In the early 1700s, U.S. founding fathers created this country on the grounds that every man, woman, and child should have the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech, and the right to pursue wealth. Over the last 2 centuries, many U.S. citizens have taken full advantage of those freedoms. In the majority of metropolitan cities and rural areas in the United States where economic and employment opportunity are not thriving, various social programs for low-income families are used to subsidize the standard of living. The two most popular programs are Supplemental Security Income (SSI), provided through the Social Security Administration, and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), provided through the state welfare system. These two programs can have a short-term, positive impact on low-income families' survival in a poverty-stricken community. Time has shown that an underlying problem exists with social programs of this nature. The researcher believed that the hidden problem is, when an outside entity provides the necessities of life, such as food, shelter, and healthcare, year after year, multigenerational beneficiaries tend to evolve. A multigenerational beneficiary is a family that receives federal or state benefits from one generation to another

Asenath Tannie is an actress, writer, director, producer, filmmaker, author, and owner of her own company. ATG Productions is currently shooting a 30-second commercial for a Doritos contest. The winning commercial will air on Superbowl Sunday. Asenath wrote and stars as Happy Grandma in this Doritos commercial. Asenath LOVES challenges and this is definitely a challenge. Asenath and her husband of 100 years, as she likes to say, live in Orange County, California where they raised four children. Another challenge Asenath has accomplished is that she has submitted her short film, Billy Boy, to several film festivals. Asenath's work is an outpouring of love in print, film, music, and on the Internet. (See Rick's web site: www.RickCGentry.org) Asenath's promise to her son, Rick, is "I will tell the whole world I love you." She intends to keep that promise. As you can see, Asenath loves a challenge. She hopes you do too. "Repeat After Me" will help you overcome many of the challenges of every day living by changing negative thinking to positive action---even if you don't believe it! That's the beautiful thing about these phrases---just repeat them over and over again, and see what happens. If you utilize this handbook every day, it can and will open a new world of exciting opportunities that perhaps you wouldn't have even dared to dream otherwise i.e., your own business, a different career, a promotion, becoming an outstanding parent, being happy, and so on. Wow. What a challenge. I dare you to meet it. Please write or e-mail me your thoughts as you use this daily handbook. I'd love to hear from you. Sincerely, Asenath Tannie

Lost Generations is a tragicomic, at times hilarious, saga of a well-off Sikh family forced out of Rawalpindi during the partition of Punjab in 1947. The story follows the family's struggles and partial rehabilitation as they settle in Delhi, attempting to keep up the appearances of their affluent past and preserve their old mores. Around them, however, the world is disintegrating, and eventually, they face death, destitution and an uncertain future once again in 1984. Lost Generations is a story of misogyny, sexism, racism, intolerance, corruption, exploitation, and materialism all innate to Indian society.

Silver-grey manpower is a gold mine to society. One by one, the baby boom cohorts will reach the age of 65 starting from 2010. They are large cohorts, relatively well educated and healthy with considerable pension and health care rights. In short, they are lucky devils. As a result of ageing, cohorts that were born in 1985 onwards and that enter the labour market as from approximately 2010 will be required to pay many additional taxes during the course of their entire working life spanning more than forty years. They are, in short, unlucky dogs. Redistribution of joys and burdens could trigger conflicts between generations. A better solution is to identify and deploy society’s hidden resources. Taking this issue as a basis, the book in hand explores strategies that enable senior citizens and young people to give meaning to solidarity among generations, for a start in 2012 as the European Year for Active Ageing, but also as part of Europe 2020, the European Commission’s 2010-2020 strategy. With these two strategies journalists and television producers will swing into action. In secondary and higher education as well as in universities more papers on life courses and patterns of generations will be written than ever before. Senior citizens’ unions but actually all social organizations will organize lectures. Educated laymen will wish to go deeply into this issue. Henk A. Becker (1933) is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. He has worked on a research project focusing on generations since 1985.
