On Juvenile Delinquency

Young boys and girls are the future of our country. It is an unremmitting task of great significance that we properly guide our youths, educate and train them so that they form a sound outlook of life and become the pillar of the state in the 21century. However, there has been a sharp increase in juvenile delinquency, which means great harm not only to the youngsters and the families concerned but also to the destiny and prospects of our nation. For this reason, it is a topic of great importance as to how we can create a sound social environment for the young, thus preventing them from committing transgression and crimes. What constitutes the four major factors leading to juvenile delinquency the society, families, schools and the psychological phsiological conditions of the youths. Secondly, schools should carry out plans of education for students' all round development with equal attention of teaching and cultivating. Thirdly, law education and precautionary alertness should be enhanced. Last but not least, criminals infringing upon the legal rights of the minors should be severely punished and models knowing and abiding by the law awarded.

Newspaper

Because of the small geographical area of the UK, and the good travel infrastructure, there are many national newspapers - unlike the United States, where most newspapers are printed and published locally. Unlike France, the main national papers are morning newspapers; indeed, there are no national evening titles.
UK newspapers are generally grouped into three, rather historical, groups - mass market tabloids, or red-tops (eg The Sun), middle-market tabloids (eg the Daily Mail), and quality broadsheets (eg The Times). Unlike other European countries, there are no daily all-sport newspapers.

Newspaper publishing in the UK underwent a revolution in the mid 1980s, fuelled by the launch of Eddie Shah's middle-market Today newspaper. Freed of the out-dated practices of the print unions, this, the UK's first colour newspaper, threatened the established newspapers by using computers almost exclusively to typeset and print the paper. In this way, a newspaper could survive with a far lower readership, because it was simply cheaper to produce. The launch was not without its faults - problems with colour printing led to the title being lampooned on the satirical TV programme 'Spitting Image' as being printed in 'Shah-vision', while the first edition's front page, a full-colour picture of the Queen on tour abroad, was nearly two hours late, making distribution of the paper a nightmare. The middle-market 'Today' wasn't a hit with advertisers and conservative readers, and, swallowed by Murdoch's News International empire within two years, it was closed in 1995. However, its legacy lives on to this day.
Fleet Street in London, for years the home of the British press, is now all but deserted by publishers. The revolution in work practices coincided with expansion in the once-derelict East London Docklands, reinvented as a centre for business. News International titles The Times and The Sun moved to purpose-built buildings in Wapping, in the East End of London. The 're-engineering' of the titles' production was acrimonious, with many people being made redundant; the Wapping plant was picketed for a long while afterwards. The Daily Telegraph, along with The Independent and The Mirror, moved into Canary Wharf (properly known as 1 Canada Square), the centre-piece of the Docklands and one of the highest buildings in the world.
A trip down Fleet Street these days is still worthwhile; the art-deco Express building still stands, and is a shining example of 1920s architecture. Near it is the old Daily Telegraph building, still suitably adorned with its former owner's name, and still also including the alleyway to Peterborough Court, the place that gave its name to the humorous gossip column in the paper. DC Thomson, the Scottish newspaper publisher, is the only news organisation still in place in Fleet Street.
