Proposal for Wikipedia edits on Youth exclusion
I am a student working on a Wikipedia project for my class Global Youth Studies. I have chosen to direct my Wikipedia edits to this article on youth exclusion. I am interested in looking at the struggles faced by youth due to discrimination based on their cultural contexts.

I want to work on the leading paragraph of the article Youth exclusion to add sources to the definition of youth exclusion and what all this entails for the younger generation. I want to provide direct examples of what exclusion looks like among youth in different cultural contexts. I will need to define how instituions and mechanisms in society support or perpetuate exclusion whether purposefully or inadvertently. Specifically I want to look at how government and educational institutions use policy and law to separate youth from adult society. In my research I will look at how institutions work in different cultures and regions to widen the articles global perspective. Currently the article focuses on issues in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). I think it is important to demonstrate the cause and effects of youth exclusion in other areas of the world as well.

To expand this article and add structure to the body I would like to add subheadings on the effects of different institutions and mechanisms that affect youth exclusion in conjunction with sections on specific regions. I would also like to add subheadings on how different demographics affect how youth experience exclusion. Classifications of race, socio-economics, gender, level of education and alternative lifestyles impact the socialization of a young individual and shape how society reacts to them. This effects their experience in the world as a young person in their different cultural contexts. I am interested in looking at how prejudice about these demographics as well as ageism can affect the connection a youth feels to their society. To conclude the article it will be important to touch on how youth react to social exclusion. Depending on my research this may be something discussed under different cultural headings or as an independent heading about youth reaction to exclusion.--Locke Perkins (talk) 15:50, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Edits
I have done some work in my sandbox to update this article. I've added more global examples of youth exclusion, but I've left the MENA section as it had been written previously. I have also added more information on what causes youth exclusion and how societies can address this problem to improve society. I wanted to give the article more detail as well as a more global perspective. If any one has any comments or suggestions please let me know. I will upload the edits in sections to make the changes easier to follow.--Locke Perkins (talk) 15:50, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

DOI's and ISBN's
I did my best to find all of the DOI's and ISBN's for all of the sources in which they were available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Locke Perkins (talk • contribs) 02:17, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
