RESISTING THE INFLUENCE OF NEGATIVE STREET CULTURE
T his session examines the influence of negative street culture activities and negative street culture values. This session will help the participants to determine how their lives may be influenced by the street culture activities including crime, becoming incarcerated in a penitentiary or experiencing the early onset of poor health factors or early death as a result of a failure to resist the temptation to become involved in negative street culture activities. It explores the street culture’s risk factors, society’s view of the street culture, probable outcomes of street influenced
lifestyles and explains how maintaining positive self-esteem and avoiding stress are important factors needed to counteract invitations or opportunities presented by peers involved in street culture activities. The session will employ role practice activities to demonstrate individual versus group identify. The session will help participants to develop their ability to lead instead of follow and learn methods of fulfilling realistic needs through hard work, academic achievement and by maintaining a good reputation instead of developing superhuman ideals, dreams and lifestyles that might lure one to become involved in the sub-culture of the streets. This session is designed to unmask the mystical, magnetic and alluring qualities of negative street culture activities.
