Read this excerpt from Little Brother and answer the following questions in complete sentences using proper grammar and punctuat

ion:
Marcus and his father are discussing new regulations put in place by the Department of Homeland Security

Dad was driving me nuts, though.

"You're being paranoid, Marcus," he told me over breakfast one day as I told him about the guys I'd seen the cops shaking down on BART the day before.

"Dad, it's ridiculous. They're not catching any terrorists, are they? It's just making people scared."

"They may not have caught any terrorists yet, but they're sure getting a lot of robbers off the streets. Look at the drug dealers—it says they've put dozens of them away since this all started. Remember when those druggies robbed you? If we don't bust their dealers, it'll only get worse." I'd been mugged the year before. They'd been pretty civilized about it. One skinny guy who smelled bad told me he had a gun, the other one asked me for my wallet. They even let me keep my ID, though they got my debit card and Fast Pass. It had still scared me witless and left me paranoid and checking my shoulder for weeks.

"But most of the people they hold up aren't doing anything wrong, Dad," I said.

This was getting to me. My own father! "It's crazy. For every guilty person they catch, they have to punish thousands of innocent people. That's just not good." "Innocent? Guys cheating on their wives? Drug dealers? You're defending them, but what about all the people who died? If you don't have anything to hide—"

"So you wouldn't mind if they pulled *you* over?" My dad's histograms had proven to be depressingly normal so far.

"I'd consider it my duty," he said. "I'd be proud. It would make me feel safer."

Easy for him to say.

In three to five sentences, explain Marcus’ current stage of identity development. Use examples from the text. As a reminder, the different stages of identity development are:

* Identity Diffusion - occurs when an adolescent does not make a commitment to any particular roles, values, or goals.
* Identity Foreclosure - occurs when someone makes a commitment without considering other possibilities.
* Identity Moratorium - occurs when an individual is in the midst of a crisis over a particular role or value and tries out alternatives in order to make a commitment. *Identity Achievement - occurs when someone makes a personal decision or commitment after going through a crisis and exploring his or her options.

What are problems that the German hitler youth had ?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Here.

Explanation:

The impact of Nazi actions and policies on young people

The quality and breadth of education in schools deteriorated. Academic subjects were most affected.

There were very few co-educational schools.

Girls educational opportunities decreased. Their curriculum was limited to home-making subjects and very few went to university by 1939.

Jewish children were persecuted at school and then excluded.

Young people got to experience a range of new activities, like hiking weekends, in the Hitler Youth. They helped with the collection and distribution of clothing and food for the poor in winter. Some were chosen to stand guard outside Hitler’s offices.

They had more freedom from their parents. Slogans like “Youth must be led by youth” appealed to them.
