Many theories regarding the causes of juvenile delinquency(crimes committed by young people)focus either on the individual or on society as the major contributing influence.Theorieson the individual suggest that childrencriminal behavior before they were not sufficientlyfor previous misbehaviors or that they have learned criminal behavior through interaction with others.Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit crimes into their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status or as a rejection of middle-class values.
Most theories of juvenile delinquency have focused on children fromfamilies,the fact that children from wealthy homes also commit crimes.The latter may commit crimes for lack of adequate control from parents.All,however,are uncertain or unimproved and are of course challenged with criticism.
Changes in the social structure may indirectlyjuvenile crime rates.For example,changes in the economy thatto fewer job opportunities for youth and rising unemployment make gainful employment increasingly difficult to obtain.This results inamong youths and may inlead more youths into criminal behavior.
Families have also experiencedthese years.More families consist of one parent households or two working parents;,children are likely to have less supervision at home than was common in the traditional family.This lack of parental supervision is thought to be an influence on juvenile crime rates.Other noticeableof offensive acts includeexperience or failure in school,theavailability of drugs and alcohol,and the growing phenomenon of child abuse and child neglect.All these conditions tend to increase theof a child committing a criminal act,a direct cause and effect relationship has not yet been established.

In modern society loneliness can be seen as a social phenomenon and people can experience loneliness for many reasons.

There are many different ways used to treat loneliness. The first step that most doctors to patients is treatment. Short term treatment typically over a period of ten to twenty weeks.

Today the scientific community is in almost total agreement that the earth’s climate is changing and that this represents a huge threat to the planet and to us. According to a survey, with only 69% accepting the earth is warming— only 1 in 4 Americans see global warming as a major threat, public opinion ________ the scientific conclusion.
Climate scientists and campaigners have long debated how to better communicate the message to nonexperts so that climate science can be ________ into action. According to Christopher Rapley, the usual tactic(策略) of climate experts to provide the public with information isn’t________ because “it does not address key potential causes.” We are all exposed to the evidence of climate change on an almost a daily basis. The information is almost ___________.
Then what’s wrong? _______our brains.
Daniel Gilbert mentioned our brains’ failure to accurately notice gradual change. Robert
Gifford also _________the point about our brains’ difficulty in grasping climate change because of limited cognition and social ______ with other people (“Why should we change if X won’t?”) “ A more powerful barrier is the ___________ of perceived (感知的)behavioral control; ‘I’ m only one person; what can I do ?’ is certainly a big one. For many, the first challenge will be in recognizing barriers _____ they can overcome them”
But for those of us who understand that climate change is a problem yet make little effort
to cut the number of overseas trips we make or the amount of meat we consume, neither the uncaring attitude nor denial really explains the _________between our actions and beliefs. Lertzman has come to the conclusion that the conflict between ________ both the planet and our way of life is too painful to bear. “When we don’t ________ the pain of that, that’s when we get ______and can’t move forward.” Lertzman refers to this ________ as “environmental melancholia(忧郁症),” and points out that there’s a lot to be said for providing a means______ acceptable to talk about.”
Rosemary Randall suggests that climate change is such a(n) __________ subject that it “can raise fears and anxieties that people feel have no_________ in polite conversation.”
Lertzman says the community has been slow to realize the value of psychology. Gifford says otherwise,________—“ climate change, and not mental health, is the biggest psychological problem”
Despite the pain, shame, difficulty in fully addressing climate change, both Lertzman and Gifford are still _______ about our ability to face up to the challenge. “There can’t be anything about the human mind that stops us struggling with these issues , given that so many people ______ are — maybe that’s what we should be focusing on instead.” says Lertzman.
