Ending Discrimination Against Young People

Adam F.C. Fletcher

4.9/5 (13050 ratings)

Description:Most books about young people begin with the idea that children and youth are less than adults, and then proceed to offer various techniques to make them grow up. In his powerful analysis, internationally recognized advocate Adam Fletcher begins instead by asking, “Who are young people today, and what do they truly face?” What follows from that place is a new understanding of the way the world works today, and powerful ideas that can change homes, schools, government, and businesses right now.Fletcher details how almost unconditional discrimination affects children and youth everywhere they are, anytime they are there. Parents, teachers, police, counselors, and youth workers are all responsible, using social norms (“It’s my house and you’ll follow my rules!”), informal policies (Store signs stating, “Limit 2 minors without adult supervision.”), and political structures (No voting or political offices before age 18, 25, or 35) to ensure adults maintain power and authority over young people. Fletcher cites examples of society-wide discrimination, arguing that the powerful force that renders children and youth ineffective students, producers, and members throughout society is becoming obsolete.More than just a book raging against the machine, though, Ending Discrimination Against Young People addresses powerful, yet simple, transformations young people and adults can embark on in order to make the world a more just, fair place for everyone, no matter what their age. He invites readers to question their most basic assumptions about children and youth in society while offering a wealth of practical ways everyone can shift from adultism—bias towards adults—towards equitable, healthy, and whole relationships with young people. This is an eye-opening, paradigm-shattering book that will reconnect readers to their own best instincts and inspire them to become better people, no matter what age they are or role they play in the world.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
