The inevitability of us :exploring the risk and protective factors relating to the use and / or rejection of methamphetamine amongst youth in ManenbergSwarts, Brigitte Stephanie January 2009 (has links)
Magister Psychologiae - MPsych / This study presents a discursive journey with regard to the risk and protective factors confronting individuals who engage in methamphetamine use within the Manenberg area. Given that this journey requires a cautious and sensitive approach to the meaning making of the lived experiences of the six (6) individual users (the informant base); the study adopted an analysis process that would allow for a guided “tour” of these experiences. In doing so, the study made use of the grounded theory method that allowed for this guided “tour” to be fully anchored in the collected data. External to this data, and once the data emerged as engageable themes, the study introduced, relevantly so, Bronfenbrenner's social-ecological model of human development, so to multiply and deepen the meanings embedded within the data. The merging of this external frame, provided by Bronfenbrenner's model, and the rich data provided by the six (6) informants, uncovered critical themes in understanding the risk and protective factors at play within Manenberg. These themes relate to the historical identity of Manenberg, given the history of Apartheid, the role of the local community and its perceived tolerance of the practice of drug use, which is further echoed in the identity of the family and its limited ability to support drug users in the face of ever-growing poverty. The themes also uncovered the bipolarity in the practice of drug trade and gangsterism as serving a subsistence function, at one level, and an exploitative function at another. Furthermore, the study solidified traditional views that the peer collective is, indeed, a critical actor on the stage of drug use and that the individual (as an actor) continues to be confronted by a script of poverty and disillusionment. This script, as will be illustrated, is also active in preconceived notions of gender stratification. / South Africa

Tienermeisies se betrokkenheid by dwelmmisbruik : 'n gender perspektiefRhode, Jolene 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MEdPsych (Educational Psychology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Kaapse Vlakte, die konteks vir die studie, word onder andere gekenmerk deur sy lae
sosio-ekonomiese status, hoë werkloosheid, bende-aktiwiteite, gesinsgeweld, gebroke
gesinstrukture en dwelmafhanklikheid. Tienerdogters wat in gemeenskappe op die Kaapse
Vlakte opgroei, word daagliks aan hierdie hindernisse blootgestel, wat hulle meer vatbaar
maak vir die misbruik van dwelmmiddels.
Die doel van die studie was om tienermeisies in ’n benadeelde gemeenskap wat
dwelmmiddels gebruik, se perspektiewe met betrekking tot dwelmmisbruik te ondersoek. Die
studie het ’n genderperspektief aangeneem, met ander woorde dit het vroue as subjekte
sentraal geplaas en hulle probleem met dwelmmisbruik ondersoek. Min navorsing oor
dwelmmisbruik fokus op vroue, ten spyte van ’n veronderstelling dat misbruik onder vroue
ernstige gevolge vir die samelewing inhou. Aangesien ek gepoog het om hierdie
tienermeisies se behoeftes aan ondersteuning en moontlike maniere waarop hierdie
behoeftes aangespreek kan word, te verstaan en te beskryf, het ek van ’n kwalitatiewe
navorsingsontwerp gebruik gemaak en die studie vanuit ’n interprevistiese paradigma
benader. Data is met behulp van onderhoude, persoonlike refleksies en observasies bekom.
Die navorsingsbevindinge het getoon dat die tienerdogters se huislike omstandighede deur
enkelouerskap en afwesige vaderskap vererger word, dat daar ’n gebrek aan kommunikasie
tuis is en dat hulle behoeftes aan liefde en emosionele sekuriteit uitspreek. Die tienerdogters
voer aan dat hulle dwelms gebruik om van hul probleme tuis te ontvlug. In hierdie studie oor
tienerdogters se redes vir en perspektiewe ten opsigte van dwelmmisbruik, toon data dat
hulle duidelike behoeftes aan ondersteuning het - tuis sowel as in die samelewing waarin
hulle leef. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Cape Flats is characterized by low socio-economic status, high unemployment, gang
activities, crime, domestic violence, broken family structures and drug dependency. As a
teenage girl, living in communities on the Cape Flats, there is often the possibility of being
vulnerable to the misuse of drugs.
The aim of this study was to investigate the perceptions of teenage girls using drugs in a
disadvantaged community. The study adopted a gendered perspective that places women as
subjects central to the problem of drug abuse. Little research focuses on women using drugs
despite the consequences it poses for society. The study attempts to understand and
describe teenage girls’ need for support as well as ways in which their needs can be
addressed. A qualitative interpretivist research design was used to gain insight into and
understanding of the participants’ perspectives. The data were collected by means of
interviews, reflective diaries and observations.
The research findings indicate that single parenting and absent fathers worsen the teenage
girls’ home circumstances, that there is a lack of communication at home and that they
express a need for love and emotional security. Furthermore, teenage girls use drugs to
escape from the problems they face at home. The results suggest a need for adequate and
appropriate support in the home environment as well as in society.

Stories of survival in the wake of violence and abuse on the Cape FlatsWilkinson, Katheryn Lynn January 1900 (has links)
The Cape Flats is characterised by widespread poverty, unemployment and frequent incidents of domestic and gang related violence. The presence of gangs in and around many of the schools in this area poses a serious problem for the community and the Western Cape Education Department. Schools are disrupted, while principals, teachers and learners are in constant fear and danger of gangsters' bullets. Families in
these communities are exposed to chronic traumatisation from both gang and domestic violence. This qualitative study was concerned with exploring a narrative pastoral therapy approach to trauma counselling
in schools. It focused specifically on crisis counselling as well as counselling with regard to loss and abuse.
Informed by contextual and feminist theology, an action research model was used in this study. I documented my own developing practice by telling the stories of adults and children struggling against the trauma threatening to overwhelm their lives. / Practical Theology / M. Th.

Gendered positions in a church youth group: a discourse analysisDe Vos, Grace Afton January 2012 (has links)
Magister Artium - MA / This research is a discourse analysis of a Christian ‗coloured‘ youth group, from the area of Mitchell‘s Plain, Cape Town. The aim of the analysis is to explore the ways in which the interlocutors construct their identities and gender positions and how they are able to affirm, challenge and perpetuate dominant discourses. The role of this context, namely the social and religious context is pivotal to shaping this interaction.The analysis of the data uses the Appraisal framework particularly the attitudinal and engagement systems to analyse how the interlocutors strategically communicate their attitudes,evaluations, feelings and judgements. Ultimately, this research shows how the males and females use language to negotiate identities and socially position themselves.In addition, the research indicates that the male interlocutors in most instances exert a strong influence on the discussions, which result in females showing tendencies to allow for the male
ideologies to dictate, thus perpetuating the dominant ideologies about male and female behaviour.

‘Taking hold’ of mobile phone stories in a Cape Flats reading clubBangani, Zandile January 2019 (has links)
Magister Artium - MA / This ethnographically-orientated intervention explored how members of a Cape Flats reading
club “took hold” (Street, 2009) of digital literacy in their engagement with online fictional
stories accessed by a mobile phone. The Masifunde reading club takes place inside the premises
of a church located in one of the most impoverished and resource-constrained communities on
the outskirts of Cape Town. The club is connected to a bigger sets of clubs under the Nal’ibali
reading-for-enjoyment campaign seeking to create nurturing spaces for learning by introducing
children to literacy through story-telling. I wanted to diversify and increase the literacy material
available by introducing mobile phones to the club.
This research paper is theoretically grounded in the New Literacy Studies (NLS) framework
which argues that the social turn and digital turn to literacy have transformed literacy. I adopted
an ethnographic approach to literacy in order to understand how mobile reading is ‘taken hold’
of within an already established activities of the club which are conceptualized using
Goffman’s (1983) “interaction order”. Goffman’s (1983) “interaction order” was used to map
the established print-based interaction order and then to examine the practices of reading online
fiction and the materiality of the mobile phone as taken hold of within this interaction order.
The notion of ‘taking hold’ of was further extended to reveal the ways in which mobile stories
were resemiotized in the shared practices of the club members. The introduction of mobile
phones is viewed within Prinsloo’s (2005) “placed resources” concept that pays attention to the
specificity of the context in how the phone was taken hold of. What is more, through Goffman’s
(1956) back stage and front stage concept, I was able to trace using Ker’s (2005) “text-chain”
concept, how interactions in the back region WhatsApp group chat moved across space-time
to the front stage interactions in the Saturday club event. This revealed the ways in which the
uses and valuing of the phone changed across these spaces, with the phone being naturalised in
the back stage, but being treated as a difficult object in the front stage sessions by the
volunteers, while the children took up the phones in easy ways consistent with the existing
interaction order and therefore as placed resources. The study reveals that triumphalist claims
about uptake of digital technologies in resource-poor contexts and dismal internet connectivity
need to be treated with caution.

The individual mindset behind violence in schools specific to the Western CapeParker, Fazia 11 1900 (has links)
Text in English / The study aimed at exploring the “mindset” of learners, teachers and principals behind the violence in schools. “Mindset” is a person's general attitude with which he/she approaches a situation and the way they think about things, their experiemces and opinions. The data in the current study was gathered from three schools on the Cape Flats in the Western Cape. The Cape Flats is home to South Africa’s most violent gangs, perpetuated by the socio-economic issues created by apartheid. A provincial breakdown of crime statistics ranks the Western Cape second highest in South Africa.
The researcher adopted Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Framework to delineate the risk factors which impact on the community, family, individual, peer group and school environment. Participants’ selection was effected through a non-probability method of purposive sampling. Participants’ in a non-probability sample are selected based on their accessibility or by the purposive personal judgment of the researcher. The downside of the non-probability sampling method is that an unknown proportion of the entire population was not sampled.
From the preceding results, it is evident that learners are exposed to many forms of violence. Too many children are reared in dysfunctional families, poorly managed schools and neighbourhoods caught in the grip of violence and poverty. If this malady is not addressed and managed, South Africa can expect another generation of youth who resort to violence as a means of conflict resolution.
The rich and in-depth information around participants’ unique opinions, experiences and realities contribute towards a better understanding of school violence, dysfunctional behaviour and towards the improvement of school violence interventions. It is also argued that additional insights from the study would add value to the organisational incapacity management process of schools. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)

The state’s obligation to realise the socioeconomic rights of vulnerable groups: A case study of children on the Cape FlatsManasse, Brilaine Lisa January 2019 (has links)
Magister Legum - LLM / The Cape Flats is known for poverty, gangsterism, over population and a general lack of basic necessities. What is often overlooked is where this negative perception emanates from. Generational poverty is an existent issue and has been influential in shaping the Cape Flats to what it is today.
What this study aims to do, is to provide a background on a possible theory for this typecast that accompanies the areas broadly known as the Cape Flats. The study will show how the Apartheid era created a ripple effect for future generations, and how this may be the cause of these vulnerable groups of children being failed by a system which have long forgotten about them. The study demonstrates how vulnerable groups on the Cape Flats, struggling and pleading for State intervention in the delivery of basic human rights, have fallen on deaf ears. The study further reveals that the State has not fulfilled its constitutional mandate, neither has it lived up to the enabling provisions contained in international instruments which has been adopted by the South African government, and confirms that all three spheres of government have lacked in the accomplishments it set out to achieve upon the adoption of various pieces of legislation, notwithstanding the proclamation of domestic laws to help the State realise its socioeconomic rights obligations. The study was a particularly challenging task to undertake, as research topics on the issue of socioeconomic rights realisation on the Cape Flats is not a well-studied subject. The intention behind the study is to make an important contribution towards awareness of the issue under discussion, paving the way for future knowledge sharing and an open dialogue focusing on the role of the State in the realisation of socioeconomic rights of children on the Cape Flats.
