I will have to send you the week 3 paper, therefore you will just need to write a 6 page

Final Research Paper

How to Begin: This week you will incorporate feedback from the Week Three Assignment to complete the Final Research Paper. You will have formed your own conclusions about these issues, based on factual information and evidence from scholarly sources. At this point, you have examined the social aspects of aging. In addition, you have assessed the impact of aging on society in the areas of economics, discrimination, and political influence, and assessed the role of demographics on aging in terms of health, income, employment, and retirement. Moreover, you have had the opportunity to examine the numerous policies that are in existence for the purpose of assisting the aged in our society.

Task: The Final Research Paper will focus on the impact of a growing aging population in the United States and the aging population in general. This impact could be defined in terms of increased health care costs with simultaneous decreased economic contributions, increased housing needs, and a reduced proportion of the population contributing to Social Security. As you address the political embattlement related to programs for the aged (i.e., Medicaid, Medicare, Disability, Welfare and Supplemental Security Income, and The Older Americans Act), you must include the following elements, which you began in your outline assignment from Week Three:

  1. Title page
  2. Explain the rapid increase in the older population using the demographic transition theory.
  3. Analyze the implications of an increasing aging population for two or more of the following social issues:
    1. The funding and availability of Social Security.
    2. The funding and availability of Supplemental Retirement Income.
    3. Work and retirement challenges facing seniors.
    4. The funding and availability of adequate health care for seniors.
  4. Summarize what the experts have written about the issues facing the United States in terms of the growing elderly population. How do experts suggest addressing these issues? Assess whether their conclusions are methodologically sound.
  5. Assess how the growing aging population is going to impact the younger generations in terms of political power and their need for social support.  
  6. Evaluate the actions that are currently being taken to address these issues of having an increasing aging population. What have been the results of those actions? Justify which remedies you agree with, and support your conclusions with your scholarly research.

The paper must be eight to ten pages in length (excluding title page and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. In addition to the course textbook, the paper must include a minimum of five scholarly sources located using ProQuest or a similar database in the Ashford University Library. The sources must have been written within the last five years. Make sure to cite your sources in the text as well as on the reference page.

COM 321 WEEK 1 DISCUSSION 1

Think of a speaker you admire. What was it about that speaker that made his or her communication memorable? Using Aristotle’s classification scheme, decide whether you believe this speaker’s power to persuade comes from ethos, pathos, logos, or from a combination of these methods and explain what led you to this conclusion. What qualifications do you believe a communicator needs to be considered effective today? Respond to at least two of your fellow students’ postings by Day 7. (You must create one initial post and at least two responses, for a minimum of three posts for this discussion.)

Does culture affect our personality?



Does culture affect our personality?



Abstract

Some characteristics of personality differ across cultural groups. For example, Americans and Asians have slightly different conceptions of self. American culture promotes a view of the self as independent. American children tend to describe themselves in terms of personal attributes, values, and achievements, and they learn to be self-reliant, to compete with others, and to value their uniqueness. Many Asian cultures, such as those of Japan and China, promote a view of the self as interdependent. Children from these cultures tend to describe themselves in terms of which groups they belong to. They learn to rely on others, to be modest about achievements, and to fit into groups. This study will examine differences among American, Asian, and African cultures without stereotyping any particular culture and how they can affect a person’s personality based off where you come from.

social gerontology

According to Chapter 10 in your textbook, the process of dying has become increasingly bureaucratized in that hospitals and long-term care facilities have made the handling of death a routine. In addition, the preparation of the deceased’s body for burial has also been allotted to funeral directors rather than the family of the deceased.

After reading Chapter 10 in your textbook in preparation for this discussion, please address the following:

  1. Discuss how death has been bureaucratized and what that means in terms of the experience of dying for the elderly and their families.
  2. What are the sociological factors that have led to this bureaucratization of death?
  3. How has this bureaucratization impacted society?

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references

Accepting Cultural Differences

Earl Whitecloud is an American high-school student. He is constantly teased and bullied by his classmates because he occasionally wears clothing that represents his Native-American heritage. As a result, Earl spends most of his time at school alone, is absent far more than the average student, and performs poorly at school. 

As Earl’s teacher, who acutely perceives the problem, you decide to devote a class period to talking about diversity and accepting cultural differences.

What three points will you emphasize the most and why?

Will you involve Earl in the discussion? Why or why not?

:Examine the history and contemporary

Question:Examine the history and contemporary use of drones in warfare and answer the following question: Should the use of drones be continued, or are there practical, moral, ethical, and possibly legal issues associated with this program, that will ultimately show that the use of drones as part of the US foreign / national security policy has been a mistake?

“Enthymemes in Everyday Life.” Please respond to the follow:

  • Identify an example of an enthymeme you encountered this week in the media or in a conversation.
  • Create a syllogism based on the enthymeme.
  • Determine whether the syllogism is valid or invalid and explain why.
  • If invalid, identify the reasoning error that is present in the syllogism.
  • Analyze the syllogism of one (1) other student.

OTHER Student:

“Enthymemes in Everyday Life.”

Identify an example of an enthymeme you encountered this week in the media or in a conversation.

The Dude’s enthymeme: “Does this place look like I’m . . . married? The toilet seat’s up, man!” (Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski, 1988). Universal Studios

Create a syllogism based on the enthymeme.

Major: Only single men leave toilet seats up.

Minor: Jeff is a single man.

Conclusion: Therefore, Jeff leaves the toilet seat up.

Determine whether the syllogism is valid or invalid and explain why.

Invalid, it is someone’s opinion.

If invalid, identify the reasoning error that is present in the syllogism.

Leaving the toilet seat up does not identify one as being single or married.
