The Calhoun County Senior Services The need to care for the elderly has become very important in our society today (American Nurses Association, 2010). It is important to provide the solution for the veterans seeking assistance in the community. We have identified Calhoun Country Senior Services as one of the appropriate sources of help. It is accessible to all the elderly people who are residing in Calhoun County. This community center for the elderly has met specified standards that make it appropriate to care for this group. The staff in this institution is very caring, and most of the nurses working here have good skills and experience in caring for the elderly. The institution has a flexible approach when registering its members. Anyone who is aged 65 years and above qualifies to be enrolled at the facility. Services Offered The community offers a wide range of products. One of the most important services offered in the adult daycare, especially for the sick or adults who are at their advanced ages and cannot support themselves (Akhtar, 2004). The adult daycare is also available for those who come to the facility in the daytime and go to their homes in the evening when members of their families are back from their duties. The community also helps the adults in addressing some chores when they are too weak to do them. It has employed people who wash clothes for the elderly who are in the institution. The facility also offers community care options. This involves caring for the elderly in their own homes (Anastas, 2012). This service is offered to the elderly who are staying close to the institution. Services Calhoun County Senior Services has started offering free medical services to all the people under its care. This institution started a dental exam and care when it became apparent that some of the elderly people staying here were suffering from a series of teeth problems. The institution now offers free dental care to all the patients in its register, including those who receive care from their own homes. To enhance its service delivery to this group, the institution has found it necessary to develop family care. This improves the capacity to offer quality care for the elderly (Braithwaite, 2007). Service Delivery Calhoun Country Senior Services has been determined to come up with projects that meet the demand of its clients. It has been working within the set standards to ensure that the elderly who come to the institution receives the best care (Burger, 2014). The development of Folk Senior Center Support was a big step towards improved care for this group. It has also starte
Introduction War impact permanent psychological strains on soldiers every time it occurs, and the novel by Erich Maria Remarque has significantly contributed to this belief. Being a German veteran of World War I, the author understands the effects of being involved in the war as a soldier. Soldiers experience physical, and mental distresses, which are caused by several factors that are attributes of war. This paper, therefore, seeks to explain how war can cause physical and mental trauma on soldiers during and after the war as presented by Erich in the novel ‘All Quiet on the western front. A brief history of the book The novel was first published in 1928 although it was after that banned in Nazi Germany due to its controversial exposure of the soldiers’ experiences. The author exposes the war front by presenting it as a dangerous zone. In his book, he refers to the dangers of the war zone as dirty conditions of warfare (Remarque 23). In a bid to make explain the dangers involved, the author uses a fictional character, namely Paul Bauner. Paul is exposed to the dirty conditions of warfare, and his life was changed by those experiences. Physical implications of war The author says at the beginning of the novel that although the soldiers may have escaped death, they remain destroyed by the effects and conditions of war (Remarque 23). The author is quick to clarify that the book is not a confession neither an accusation but an expression of an untold story about the effects of war on soldiers. When soldiers are out for war, they are exposed to physical strains in the field. In instances of war, there are low chances of survival owing to the constant threats of artillery fire and bombardments (Remarque 25). Other impacts include the stress and difficulties of finding food while in the field. This can cause malnutrition implications, hence compromising the soldiers’ physical strength. In some extreme cases, young and untrained recruits are forced to join in the war (Remarque 32). The book explains the plight of both living and dead soldiers. The author laments that soldiers are poorly compensated, especially after they die in the line of duty. Soldiers are affected mentally by the exposure along with the random chances of survival and death of their colleagues. The author calls the living soldiers dead due to their emotionally drained personalities (Remarque 34). Mental implications of war He says, “ We are not youth any longer. We don’t want to take the world by storm. We are fle
At present, there is a crisis of sorts that the healthcare industry is going through with regard to health insurance coverage. The number of uninsured people has continuously been rising since 2000 and it is estimated that today about one in four Americans below the age of 65 would not have access to health insurance. Affordable health care insurance needs to become a top priority and this article talks about the attempts of various states to increase health care coverage by providing greater access to healthcare and public coverage to those unable to afford private insurance and also emphasizes the growing reliance on individual coverage. This has implications for the general public, insurers as well as healthcare providers. Insurers would benefit from the broader eligibility scope of the Medicaid and SCHIP because it would mean greater revenue for them as well as encouraging more carriers to join the business of catering to people enrolled in Medicaid and SCHIP programs. The private insurance market would witness a restructuring and there would be a lesser demarcation between the rules which apply to group and individual coverage. All of this gives states a lot more power to determine the terms at which coverage will be offered and they will also be managing the quality of healthcare delivered. For hospitals, this means a radical reform that will help them solve the chronic problems of high healthcare costs, lesser than optimal quality at times, and lack of insurance which have afflicted the industry for many years. While public coverage will still expand incrementally over the years, it is the higher accessibility of private insurance which is serving as an opportunity for change. At this point, this change will be led by individual states which are looking for solutions to the healthcare problems plaguing them, and they are planning on increasing individual coverage either through public programs or private. When state governments start playing an active role in coordinating how state programs and private insurers finance healthcare delivery, the contribution of Medicaid and SCHIP is likely to increase. As hospitals witness higher levels of financing which is more stable in nature, this will be a welcome change for them as it will reduce their reliance on charity care as w
According to early feminist scholars, people are not born men or women. Gender roles are entirely a product of social constructions. When boys and girls are born, they have no gender, and the sexual difference between them is fundamentally biological. It is socialization that determines what gender role one would adopt and, in most cases, males are socialized as men and females as women (Lorber 102). Apart from the issue of gender role, many other human traits are nurtured from an early age through the manner in which children are treated, the nature of plays they engage in, and the toys they play with, both at home and at school (Turner and Goldsmith 304). These not only affect their socialization processes, but also act as key determinants of their expectations in life. Contemporary studies have proved that play is one of the most effective means of introducing concepts to children (Turner and Goldsmith 304). This is because it stimulates their creativity and curiosity, and helps them to develop key social skills, such as teamwork and sharing. Given the profoundness of play for children, it is inevitable that their toys would have a substantial influence on their perceptions about several issues in life. When a girl is born, for example, her caregivers, both consciously and sub-consciously, set upon turning her into a woman. They give her a female name, buy her feminine clothes and, as she grows up, she receives feminine toys (Lorber 102). From a traditional point of view, girls are given dolls, tea sets, and other feminine toys. Through this, they begin to construct a vision of the world where they are expected to look after children and cook for family members. On the contrary, boys’ toys are masculine and they include guns, cars, and model trains, among others (Turner and Goldsmith 304). Here, the underlying lesson is they should learn to be in control. Their toys have a powerful theme around them, since guns and cars, for instance, are tools of power. Consequently, as they grow up, they expect a society that looks up to them to provide answers and to take control of situations. However, the world is gradually changing and the traditional gender roles are being restructured, which is in conflict with the socialization of children. Boys would, at some point, realize that they cannot be in charge because of their manhood, but their qualifications. Girls, on the other hand, would come into a world where there is a serious controversy about their traditional roles, which many women have unequivocally rejected as chauvinistic
Leadership Challenge: Moving to Leadership What are the challenges you are likely to face as the new leader Being a new leader is quite difficult because organizations often face tough problems and challenges that need quick responses. For a new leader, this is challenging since the atmosphere of crisis provides no time or patience for learning. Secondly, most organizations are rigid and sticks to the old belief that “old is gold”.They do not allow room for raw talent, training, making mistakes and experimentation. Most organizations believe that an effective leader is that who has long years of service. What are some of the actions you would take to help smooth the transition? First, a meeting with the outgoing leader takes place to enable the new leader to interact and share information about the organization together with the outgoing leader to gain insight into the leadership roles. The new leader should set up relationships with the people who he will work with to try to win them. He should try to build trust with the employees to enable him to work well with them. A leader should have courtesy and act friendly and should always smile. Having a good attitude is also important as it will enable the new leader to fit easily into the new environment. What are some things you should avoid? One of the things one should avoid is takin

Introduction and Summary The process of reading is often taken for granted, yet there are underlying issues that are worth discussing. In the provided excerpt, Rosenblatt renders the idea of reading and explores its numerous iterations. As a rule, the process of reading used to be interpreted as interactive due to the unceasing process of drawing connections between a reader’s perception of the represented ideas and the viewpoint conveyed in a text. However, on closer inspection of the reading process, one will realize that the phenomenon represents introspection and a spiral relationship between a reader and the signs in the text, as shown in Rosenblatt’s “Literature as Exploration.” Thus, the purpose with which a reader approaches a text defines the way in which the meaning of the discourse under analysis will be deconstructed. The interaction between a reader and the signs on the page creates sense and allows a reader to explore it in depth (Rosenblatt 26). As a result, the meaning of the text is shaped under the influence of the notions and concepts that define the reader’s philosophy. Goulish expresses a similar idea by stating that reading a particular text inevitably entails the propagation of one’s own vocabulary (5). The introduction of personal opinions and philosophies into a narrative is inevitable and thus needs to be recognized. Connections to Goulish’s Work The problem of criticism as a process that does not imply reciprocity should be addressed. According to Goulish, the identified action causes a personality change due to the introduction of new ideas and concepts into a personal worldview (7). Nonetheless, there is little to no interaction between a reader and a discourse; instead, the former subjects the latter to criticism, deconstructing its meaning and assembling it again in order to imbue it with additional concepts and terms. Furthermore, revisiting the process of reading, in general, and the notion of understanding, in particular, one may need to return to the idea of metacognition. As Goulish explains, when consuming a particular text, a reader inevitably infers its meaning based on a variety of approaches used to deconstruct it (Rosenblatt 26). Goulish compares the specified process with rain due to its omnipresence (8). Indeed, the text under analysis points to the necessity for a reader to approach the presented information from all the standpoints of which they ar

Abstract Social influence is carried out at various levels – from individual to global. The phenomenon occurs when an individual is influenced by the surrounding emotions, beliefs, norms and values, leading to socialization, interaction, identification and conformity. All these aspects are introduced through the broad angles of social impact introduced by Kelman through such aspects as compliance, identification, and internalization. This theory is heavily discussed in other experimental studies that refer to different spheres, including business administration, education, and psychology. The spectrum of references also strengthens the validity and reliability of Kelman’s model, as well as enhances its practical value. Discussing various issues, such self-perception, identity, and influence of administrative control also complement the initially designed theoretical implications. In conclusion, although all the researches are associated with the psychological transformation of identity, they all discuss how individual’s perception is affected by social influence. Introduction The nature of social influence has long been considered by many researchers in terms of identity formation and conformity to socially accepted patterns and norms of behavior. At this point, the analysis of Kelman’s triangle model contributes to understanding and explaining of how such social phenomena as conflict revolution, negotiation, and self-perception could be influenced by social behavior. Specific attention should also be given to compliance, identification, and internalization. The latter gains greater importance because global processes are on the rise. The awareness of these aspects is also important for professional fulfillment and realization of personal goals. Adjusting to shifts in social life, individuals can feel more comfortable. Therefore, Kelman’s alternative view on social behavior and factors affecting them is fully justified from psychological viewpoint. Functions of the Review Papers The parent article under analysis is called Compliance, Identification, and Internalization: Three Processes of Attitude Change and is introduced by Herbert Kelman. Published in 1958, the studies discuss the nature of social changes, as well as how social environment influence individual behavior. To research the problem of shifts in attitudes, an experimental study is introduced to determine the nature of social changes predetermined by the level of communication. The social change involves three processes: compliance, identification, and internalization. These three dimensions form the theoretical framework of the study. Compliance refers to the case when an individual recognize the impact because he/she expects to gain favorable feedback from another individual or community. Identification appears when an individual perceive influence as a means of maintaining or establishing self-defining relationships with another individual or community. Finally, internalization refers to the case when the meaning of the induced behavior is rewarding and is congruent with
