We conducted an open-ended web questionnaire survey, involving 87 professionals who had participated in a young carer support training seminar planned by a community-based integrated support center, and performed quantitative text analysis to identify the challenges of young carer support. Fifty-one professionals responded (response rate: 58.6%). The 5 most frequent words were led by “necessary” (32), followed by “collaboration” (27), “think” (26), “educational institution” (22), and “support” (17). Through co-occurrence network analysis, 4 network groups, <challenges in grasping young carers>, <challenges of the community>, <challenges related to support systems>, and <challenges related to collaboration>, were formed. The results indicated the necessity of organizing support systems that enable the identification of young carers through the establishment of laws and systems, and promoting collaboration between the community and health, medical, welfare, and education fields to support young carers in communities. Community-based integrated support centers are expected to play a pivotal role as a base for facilitating such collaboration.","PeriodicalId":500544,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of human services","volume":"60 20","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135808158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many studies have dealt with critical discourse analysis of feminism in different literary genres, however, plays have been given less attention in this respect. This study shows the role of feminism in two different societies; it also tries to highlight the problems that women face at the time of the World War I in America, the thoughts and beliefs that society has against women and how women fight to break these traditions throughout these selected plays. Accordingly, the study hypothesizes that society and social traditions have an important role in the lives of women in the sense that both black and white women face different kinds of oppression. The model adopted for analysis is Fairclough's model (1989) and the data are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively leading to the most important conclusions revealing that oppression is used against both black and white women and that women though of different societies face oppressions and undergo outdated social traditions; however, women differ in their way to break these traditions.","PeriodicalId":500544,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of human services","volume":"33 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136019269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
