The Future

The article reflects the results of the comparative empirical research of the motivational component of the adolescents’ image of the future (temporal prospective), who live in different "social situations of development", namely growing up in a family environment, and deprived from the family care. The empirical study was conducted using the MIM techniques (J. Nutten) in groups of adolescents contrast on the basis of place of residence and education: in families or in state institutions (social orphanage, boarding school, orphanage). The study revealed significant differences in motivational tendencies in the contrast groups of adolescents. The authors come to the conclusion that there consistently appear specific motivational tendencies in adolescents left without parental care, the ones that distort and inhibit personal growth, creating risk of vital failure, and therefore require well-timed psychological correction.

General Strike

Created by pioneering mathematicians and engineers during times of political unrest and war, computers are more than electronic machines. Underneath the myriad complicated circuits and software glows a mathematical purity that is simplicity itself. The maths at the root of computers illuminates the nature of reality itself. Today explorers of the impossible still compete to find the limits in our universe. With a revolution in mathematics and technology and a million dollars at stake, who can blame them? . . . It was 1926 and the General Strike was taking place in England because of disputes over coal miners’ pay. There were no buses or trains running. Fourteen-year-old Alan Turing was supposed to be starting at a grand boarding school: Sherborne in Dorset. Yet he was living in Southampton, some sixty miles away. Many children would have simply waited for the ten-day strike to finish and have a longer holiday. Not Turing. He got on his bike and began cycling. It took him two days, with a stay in a little hotel halfway, but young Turing made it to his new school on time. Turing’s independence may have stemmed from the fact that he and his older brother John had seen little of their parents while growing up. Both parents were based in India, but decided their children should be educated in England. The boys were left with friends of the family in England until their father retired and returned in 1926—just as Turing made his way to the new school. It was an impressive start, but Alan Turing didn’t do very well at his new school—he never had in any previous school. His handwriting was terrible, his written English poor. His English teacher said, ‘I can forgive his writing, though it is the worst I have ever seen, and I try to view tolerantly his unswerving inexactitude and slipshod, dirty, work . . .’ The Latin teacher was not much more approving. ‘He is ludicrously behind.’ The problem was that Turing didn’t pay attention to the curriculum being taught. Instead he spent more time following his own interests.

Self Presentations

This chapter investigates how young people’s “projects of the self” – their self-presentations and orientations towards the future – are shaped by economic, cultural and relational capital, as well as place. What does growing up in families with different access to important resources entail, and what does place mean for young people’s experiences of themselves and their future opportunities? Based on an ongoing qualitative longitudinal study of 81 youths from four widely different communities, we describe a typology with four projects of the self: the assured optimist, the local thriving youth, the youth on a narrow path and the loosely anchored youth. These projects are closely linked to the youths’ family resources, and to a large extent they map onto traditional social class divisions. However, although the way that resources are linked to different projects of the self has the potential of shaping classed trajectories, they are not determined by class. Our analysis adds nuances to the general finding in youth research that lack of economic and cultural capital is associated with more limited future possibilities. We find that emotional and relational resources in the family also play a vital role in shaping young people’s projects of the self – which sometimes cross traditional class divisions. Moreover, we find that when young people’s projects of the self align with resources in the local environment and in the family, this greatly enhances their well-being and surety of the future. Youths who experience a rift between their projects of the self and the resources around them experience a shakier foundation from which to carve out their life projects.

The article contains an in-depth qualitative analysis of 60 biographies of juvenile offenders in terms of the institutional (in)effectiveness of counteracting crime in the period before being placed in a closed facility. The analysis of the data shows that placement in a correctional facility is preceded by the application of many educational measures from supervision order to the decision to place a minor in an educational facility. Based on the collected data, it is possible to find a bad way of exercising parental care over the delinquents, and especially the ineffectiveness of the reactions undertaken by state institutions - remedial actions – including the family court.

Objective: This study aims to determine the factors related to the desire of adolescents in implementing family planning programs in the future in Bengkulu Province. Methods: Cross sectional research design with secondary data from the Family Performance and Accountability Survey (SKAP) in 2019. The research sample was 341 unmarried adolescents aged 10-24 years in Bengkulu Province with data analysis using the chi square test. Results: The results of statistical tests showed three variables were significantly associated with desire of adolescent in implementing the family planning in the future namely knowledge (p=0.005), place of residence (p=0.000) and sources of information (p=0.009). Meanwhile, the variables of age (p-value 1.686) and level of education (p-value 0.277) are not significantly associated. Conclusion: place of residence, access to information and knowledge of adolescents about various contraceptive methods are factors related to the desire of adolescents in implementing family planning programs in the future. It is recommended that there be periodic assistance from the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) to optimize the role of the Youth Counseling Information Center (PIK-R) in schools in order to provide motivation to adolescents in planning their future families.

The Future

This study seeks to determine how certain social situations cannot help but influence subjectivity and family ties. The Keynesian age encouraged and promoted a relatively stable socioeconomic matrix based on a probable future and achievable promise. The installation of a family model related to protective parents who were capable of caring for and protecting their children has been observed. Adolescent subjectivity is constructed based on parameters like generational confrontation and growth, and happiness before the possibility of exercising autonomy. On the other hand, neoliberalism produces a “retraction” of social spaces, dismisses the future, and feelings of instability and insecurity are prevalent, making the family model a “structure that overwhelms parents.” Adolescent subjectivity seems incapable of executing generational confrontation, predominantly showing a desire to “protect” the family (“exacerbated messiah complex”) by means of a fantasy that acts as a “threading scene” capable of annulling the search for autonomy and growth.

This chapter argues that parents have a right to raise their children according to the tenets of the religions that they profess. That right can be seen as grounded in the interest that children have in enjoying the kind of intimacy within the family context that is facilitated by participation in practices and rituals rooted in comprehensive conceptions of the good. It also argues, however, that children have a right to be raised in a manner that does not foreclose their future autonomy. These two rights can be reconciled if we distinguish acceptable and unacceptably asymmetrical upbringings. Parents can incline their children toward certain values and practices in accordance with their comprehensive conceptions, on condition that they also provide children with the conditions that will allow them to make autonomous decisions in the future.
