This chapter offers insights into the psycho-social processes that orient right-wing culture among youth in post-unification Germany. It describes historical processes that affect political and economic structures, family patterns, and related cultural orientations, and which shape the psychological states, especially of disenfranchised fathers, and in turn their children. Focusing on contemporary interactions of family dynamics and adolescent identity formation, the chapter identifies “anomie” as a behavioral attitude that constitutes a right-wing rebellion against prevailing social, moral, and political norms. It explains the problems of modernization in Western social experiences that can cause great damage to young people and to the ongoing development of the society.Less

This chapter returns to legal analyses, and it does so in light of empirical research. It offers principles for improving legal approaches to adolescents’ privacy. It returns to constitutional principles at stake and the adolescent-specific adaptations required for realizing those principles. The principles include the need to recognize the legal system’s role in shaping adolescents’ identities and attitudes, revisit what we mean by the capacity to exercise rights, recognize adolescents’ dynamic self-determination, and reinforce the overriding principle of acting on adolescents’ best interests. The discussion points to the law’s need to focus not only on the ability of individuals to make decisions about privacy but also on the ability to make good decisions and be responsible citizens. It champions the development of a legal system that harnesses social dimensions of privacy in a manner that shapes adolescents’ expectations and use of privacy in ways conducive to healthy developmental outcomes.Less

Adolescents on Music foregrounds the voices of 30 American adolescent musicians, ages 12–18. Adolescent singer-songwriters, studio and solo musicians, rappers, composers and arrangers, and band, choir, and orchestra members tell about their musical development and what it is like to make music by themselves and others. Situated in these 30 adolescents’ experiences is a theory of adolescent musical development—a theory that will help music educators support adolescents in their lives. The book is structured in three parts: Part I focuses on “who I am” with an in-depth look at musical identities; Part II explores “the social self” by investigating adolescent experiences of belonging, community, and social identity; Part III looks toward “a future vision” focusing on adolescent perspectives on their future and their advice for music educators. In the last chapter, Parker proposes one philosophy of adolescent music-making. Throughout the book, research from the arts, social and natural sciences, humanities, and education dimensionalize adolescent perspectives. Special features of this book include “Step Back” locations, reflective spaces for the reader to draw connections with adolescents’ experience and their own experiences. At the end of each chapter, the “Wrap Up” allows additional spaces for topics, questions, and possibilities for effective teaching interactions. Between each chapter are “Interludes” written by one or more of the 30 adolescent contributors.Less
