Research methodology
Community youth in Carletonville: their stories
The quality of life of young people is now questioned and questioned due to the impact of MIVIAIDS in their lives. One of the ways to develop young people in Carletonville is through moral and health education. It is essential that any social development in the community must begin by targeting the individual or personal development of the youth.
With the end of Apartheid came freedom and the categorization of young people as 'lost generation' or 'marginalized youth'. The new democratic government of the South. In addition, this chapter provides a discussion of the direct causes of the spread of HIVIAIDS among young people. The purpose of this chapter is to present some of the intensive causes of the spread of HIVIAIDS among young people in Gauteng and Carletonville.
It is hoped in this chapter to take a general historical survey of these reasons for the spread of HIVIAID in society and especially among young people. The impact of HIVIAID in the lives of the youth creates inner disorder, a factor responsible for the manifestation of psychosocial and spiritual dissonance in their lives. Most of the young people in the military [national service] in South Africa are recruited immediately after leaving school.
Inexperience and social convenience are thus some of the factors that make sexual license more accessible to the young. But in the real sense of the matter, it was not HIVIAIDS that they cured.
Conclusion
34;sex freaks." They charge: "If you're sexually pure, why use a condom?" To save face or to please their sexual partner, some of them have sex without a condom. Of course it's obvious. that as long as these kinds of superstitious and wild ideas continue to circulate among young people, HIVIAIDS will continue to spread and young people will continue to take risks in their sexual escapades. This is because the disease takes months or years to develop. to incubate its transport from one person to another quite easy.
Young people are reckless and see death as a long way off, acting under peer pressure and social inexperience. The current problem is related to a specific Christian ethical principle that the study wants to recommend to young people as a strategy to eliminate the already deformed sexual morality of young people.
CHAPTER 4
The African view of sex and marriage
The virginity of the young bride is celebrated as a glory to the family and community. However, one must remember the argument in which Thinko asserts that his body is not simply one of many related to the large family of bodies in Carletonville. In any case, each party must strive to holistically address youth sexuality and their reproductive potential in the face of the current HIVIAIDS pandemic.
In light of this, it is important to consider briefly the single life of youth. The environment provides the kind of social atmosphere that appeals to the sexual urges and desires of the youth. A life of boredom is one of the devastating moral threats to young people's successful abstinence from sex.
Lack of enriching or intellectually stimulating experiences is one of the silent killers in young people's lives. Most of the factors described here as moral threats to successful abstinence from sex are external factors. All this happens in the mind of the youth that is consumed by seeking sexual pleasure.
Pleasure, pain, sex and HIVIAIDS
In fact, it's hard to argue with McKim when he says, "imagination lies between stimulus and perception." When the power of '0' perception takes over the restless minds of young people, they flirt and ignore the pain that so often follows sexual pleasure. It is impossible for young people to have sex with naked women in the pictures they have in front of their eyes. Pictures of naked women serve only as a stimulus, and the adolescent exercises the power of perception, which sends signals to the body's organs that prepare him for a sexual encounter with a naked woman.
However, undecided in this discussion it seems to make some important contributions to understanding the dynamics at play in society and in the lives of young people. This search - involves discussion about sexuality, as God's creation or human construction; sexuality from a Christian perspective, sex, marriage and the family, youth life, the unmannered state and the moral threats to successful abstinence and sex. All this showed that although young people indeed face many problems, most of these problems can be controlled by the youth.
This thesis tries to establish that pain and pleasure are inevitable consequences in every human effort, especially in sexual activity. It is important to place pleasure and pain in the field of other factors responsible for the rapid spread of HIVAIDS among young people. How wonderfully it is related to what seems to be its opposite, pain, in that both do not come to man at the same time, and yet if he pursues the one and catches it, he must generally take the other. also, because both were united in one head.
Pain
All these are evident in the lives of young people infected with HIVIAIDS in Gauteng. Since 1984, HIVIAIDS was in this country, but the government was in the hands of white people. Thus, the message of the Bible is no longer seen as the authoritative word of God relevant to morality.
If so, Christian ethics must focus on teaching youth to renew their minds. This is precisely why Christian ethics must teach God's word for the renewal of the mind. Christian ethics is a means of preserving church life and encouraging young people to reach mental maturity.
Christian ethics that lead to moral maturity must clearly communicate the truths of the Bible. An application of Christian ethical principles to the lifestyle of Gauteng youth. This chapter will include four basic organizing principles for Gauteng's youth lifestyle.
The principle of the value of life
However, these theories have implications for the principles of the value of life, individual freedom and the. Therefore, the researcher proposes the application of the principle of the value of life for the prevention of the MIVIAIDS pandemic among the. It is also by controlling oneself that the value for life is manifested and individual freedom is enjoyed within the laws of the Spirit.
It means subjecting the "I" to the law of the Spirit and the Word of God that gives life. Of all the spiritual gifts and moral requirements of the Christian follower, love is the greatest. It is inexcusable behavior of the gardener if he does not show love for the flowers during the winter season.
HIVIAIDS is death that is in the bloodstream of the carrier and it is not good to pass it on to anyone else under any circumstances. First, it is important to explain that the researcher is aware of the symbolic interaction model of scientists such as Balswick and Balswick. It is bad to continue to spread the HIV virus and thus reduce the reproductive potential of the youth of our community.
This is observed in the rapid decline of the population of young people in the Gauteng province. This will form the background to the discussion in the next section on sexuality and heredity. All of these are external to the youth who want to be in control of the environment and its influences.
Peursen speaks of Merlean-Ponty who says that the "corporeality of the 'I' is lived out experientially in the form of soul-body unity". The question one can ask is whether there is a secret dualism in the idea of the "I". On the other hand, the "I" experimentally views itself as the flip side of the divine.
Christianity means the introduction of the personality of Christ into a person's life, the "I". This would mean that humans are created in the image of heredity and in the likeness of environment. This does not mean the dissolution of individuality, but the union of the "I" with Christ.
34; Galatians 2:20
According to Hays, the fundamental norm of Pauline ethics is the Christomorphic life" It is "that total surrender of one's prerogatives and interests. It is for one's life to be in harmony with the consciousness-giving love applied to the cross". It is important to reframe the dialogue begun on the separate pages of this chapter in which Thinko concluded his Christian apology by saying that: ' The scientific quality control achieved in medicine, in engineering, and in all practical matters of life, is an outstanding example of how effective action can be achieved by right thinking.
It is also not simply an attempt to put things together in a kind of compromise, but to emphasize both uniqueness and complementarity, since the young person's identity emerges in a dialogue that includes both. This is borne out of the understanding that "the self finds itself by risking an interpretation of all the signs, symbols and texts of its own and other cultures [Tracy, 1981:454]. The story reveals the discovery of gold in Gauteng and the impact it had on the socio-cultural and political life of the people.
The development of Carletonville as a result of the discovery of gold meant that the original landowners moved to Khutsong. The problem then, in keeping with the human tendency to shift blame, was that the government of the day did not differentiate between foreign blacks coming from southern African countries and the indigenous black people of Gauteng. The mixing of these people resulted in the dilution of the culture of the original people of Carletonville.
