This paper will examine youth ministry focusing on the foundation and character of the Evangelical Union at the University of Sydney. It will be argued that a new model of ministry to youth was created in the 1930s with four key characteristics: theologically conservative, student led, a focus on peer ministry and co-educational. This model was to influence the other youth ministries formed in the 30s and flourish and bear fruit in the 1950s. The paper concludes that those who minister to youth today may learn from the example of the eu in nurturing a strong religious identity in young people and by encouraging self-sacrificial leadership.

Abstract The changes that occur in the labour market due to the recent evolution registered in the field of accounting, led us to initiate a study in which we have as a purpose to analyse the perception that employers and students enrolled in the faculties for accounting from the Western part of our country have regarding the importance of the professional and transversal competencies when they get hired. The research tools used within this research are on the one side grounded on the quiz for data collection, and on the other side the ANOVA method for the analysis of the perception differences found in these two groups discussed upon. The results found in this work represent in the opinion of the authors an important reference mark for the university instruction of the young people who are about to enter the accounting profession, but also for the future employers who are about to interact with them.

You may well have gone to university. If so, would you do it all over again? I expect so. One survey of recent graduates found 96 per cent of them would do it again. If you haven’t gone but are thinking about going to university you should almost certainly go for it. You won’t regret it. It may well turn out to be one of the most rewarding and transforming experiences of your life. But what is it that makes more and more of us go to university when the media are full of stories of graduates who are unemployed and the usual clichés that too many people go to university? And why are record numbers of young people going even after the changes in student finance, which I helped to bring in, mean that graduates are likely to be paying back more over their working lives? Just look at the newspaper headlines: . . . Thousands of new graduates out of work, figures show. Expansion of the university sector has destroyed its status. UK graduates are wasting degrees in lower-skilled jobs. Today’s university students are being sold a lie. . . . Is College Worth It? is a very fair question, and the American book with that title answers with a clear ‘No’ for many people, many courses, and many institutions. The conventional wisdom is that going to university is often an expensive waste of time. But for most students the truth is the opposite. For most young people it is a deeply rewarding, life-changing experience. And it matters particularly if you come from a poor background because then it really could transform your chances in life. I meet parents who think that too many people go to university but definitely want their own child to go—it is the other parents’ kids who aren’t supposed to go. But the other parents might not see it that way. A survey of mothers of children born in the year 2000 showed that even for the mothers with the lowest qualifications 96 per cent wanted their child to go to university.

The issue of sustainable development combined with the quality of life of the inhabitants is one of the key problems of modern cities. Poland and Ukraine are two closest neighbours. Rzeszow and Lviv are both university cities, which are also partner cities. The main aim of the research was to learn the opinions of students of the University of Rzeszow and the Ivan Franko University of Lviv on selected problems related to the quality of life in Rzeszow and Lviv, as well as personal and professional aspirations of students in Poland and the Ukraine. The purpose of the study was both cognitive and practical, i.e. on the one hand it focused on obtaining information on specific topics related to various aspects of the quality of life in the city and the aspirations of young people, and on the other hand it attempted at obtaining information that could be useful for both university and city authorities in the context of exploiting the significant potential of young people living in these cities.Keywords: sustainable development, quality of life, students, Poland, Ukraine

Objetivo: Identificar el concepto frente al consumo de alcohol de los jóvenes de la Universidad del Cauca. Materiales y métodos: Cualitativa de diseño etnográfico, a través de observación, entrevista guiada en profundidad con 12 universitarios, 6 hombres y 6 mujeres durante el año 2013 en la ciudad de Popayán-Cauca, con promedios de edad de 17,5 años, que permitió valorar aspectos socio-demográficos y personales sobre el inicio y habituación al alcohol. Resultados: Se identificó que el consumo de alcohol se presenta a temprana edad específicamente durante el periodo escolar, en los últimos niveles del bachillerato y se acentúa en la universidad, ampliándose en esta última la posibilidad de adquirir otras sustancias estimulantes. El consumo de alcohol es debido a las presiones sociales, por el valor simbólico que representa ante sus iguales acerca de la madurez, y la sensación de desinhibición que genera al enfrentarse por primera vez a personas de su otro sexo. Conclusiones: El consumo de alcohol es un medio que emplean los jóvenes para la socialización y la puerta de entrada a nuevas experiencias, por ser una sustancia legal y socialmente aceptada de fácil adquisición y bajo costo, es lo que permite su alto consumo dentro de la población juvenil y universitaria, hecho que amerita generar campañas desde las universidades para la prevención de este hábito.Abstract Objective: To identify the concept against alcohol consumption of young people at the University of Cauca. Materials and methods: An ethnographic qualitative design through observation was performed where 12 university, 6 men and 6 women in 2013 in the city of Popayan Cauca were in-depth guided interviewed with average age of 17.5 years, allowed evaluating sociodemographic and personal aspects about starting and habituation to alcohol. Results: It was identified that alcohol consumption occurs early during the school year specifically, in recent high school levels and is accentuated in college, and extends in the latter the possibility of acquiring other stimulants. Alcohol consumption is due to social pressures, the symbolic value it represents to their peers about maturity, and the feeling of disinhibition generated when confronted for the first time to people of the other sex. Conclusions: Alcohol consumption is a means young people employ for socializing and it represents the gateway to new experiences since it is a legal substance and socially accepted, which is easy to acquire and inexpensive, that allows its high consumption within the youth and university population, a fact that deserves to generate campaigns from universities to prevent this habit.

Physical Spaces

This article explores how young people today engage with physical space and how it can best be utilized within ministry to youth. Sociological research has suggested a movement away from thought on physical space and its impact on creating a place for young people to be rooted in community. Through visual research conducted on a current youth ministry, it was discovered that physical spaces directly impact youth and their ability to belong to a faith-based community. It was also discovered that of the two youth ministries analyzed in this study – one in the US and one in the UK – there was the practice of attempting to create a third place for youth to congregate. From the visual research conclusions, this article argues for the importance of creating a place for youth and how this can be achieved in multi-functional spaces, specifically through the utilization of music.

This article explores the world view, social position and psychological make-up of people who listen to metal music (metalheads) and the cultural reactions to this genre in order to prepare for an encounter with metalheads in religious education and youth ministry. Only when teachers and youth ministers can connect with the world view of young people can they fulfil their hermeneutical-didactical task of fostering religious identity. Using the spiritual model of Waaijman, the concept of ‘meeting a stranger’ is introduced as a spiritual exercise for teachers to open themselves to the questions of life these students are meditating. Religious motives regarding hospitality to strangers stimulate an open attitude for a fruitful dialogue. A short theory of pain, based on content analysis of 81 songs, demonstrates not only the serious character of the lyrics of metal music but also their role in sustaining metalheads in their struggles.

Starting A Business

AbstractEntrepreneurship understood as a manifestation of economic activity is an issue widely discussed in literature, especially in the field of economics. Today, a large part of society is involved in establishing and running a business, hence the shaping of entrepreneurial behaviors gains importance among all age groups, especially young people. The main objective of the conducted research was to examine the interest in starting their own business by students and to verify whether the direction of their studies or role in the group affects the students’ willingness to start a business and whether a family member runs a business influences this interest and moreover, whether capital and the idea are the two main criteria conditioning the decision.. The conclusions were based on a study, i.e. (mainly) the cross-analysis of data collected as part of a survey conducted among students of the University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszów.

Connecting to the  electronic information network (internet) became the most characteristic that distinguish this era However , the long hours which young men daily spend on the internet On the other hand ,there are many people who are waiting for the chance to talk and convince them with their views This will lead the young people to be part in the project of the “cyber armies “that involved with states and terrorist organizations  This project has been able  to recruitment hundreds of people every day to work in its rank . It is very difficult to control these websites because we can see the terrorist presence in all its forms in the internet   In addition there are many incubation environments that feed in particular the young people minds                                                                                         Because they are suffering from the lack of social justice Also the unemployment, deprivation , social and political repression So , that terrorist organizations can attract young people through the internet by convincing them to their views and ideas . So these organizations will enable to be more  stronger.
