...Ethical and Legal Dilemmas of Surrogacy Christie Blackwell HCA 322 Dr. Nine Bell June 17, 2013 Ethical and Legal Dilemmas of Surrogacy Many individuals have a life plan consisting of college, marriage, and then children. After numerous methods of conception, many couples are still unable to conceive a child. A woman who enters into a contract with a couple, agreeing to carry and birth a child, then hand that child over to the contracted couple, who is often unable to conceive own their own naturally is considered surrogacy (Pozgar, 2012).

What are the legal rights of the woman conceiving or of the couple? Should the child be aware of the process in which he or she was born? Does the child have rights to access the confidential records of the process? These are a just a few questions that will be addressed throughout this paper.

...Caring for the Baby Boomer Population Thomas Watrucki Thomas Edison State College Mentor Tish Dorman December 7th, 2014 The “baby boomer” generation (those born from 1946-1964) are now our retirement-age elderly that we healthcare providers are challenged with caring for. The Population Reference Bureau estimates that there are 76.4 million baby boomers (as of April 2014). About 3 million baby boomers will hit retirement age every year for the next 20 years (Barr, 2014). Healthypeople.gov estimates that 60 percent of this population will be managing more than one chronic condition by 2030. The American Hospital Association notes that the over 65 population will nearly triple as a result of the aging Boomers. What this means for us healthcare providers is that our healthcare system will be challenged with caring for a significantly increased amount of elderly with chronic ailments that we are seeing now. This will increase healthcare costs as chronic disease management increases and transitions are made from private insurance carriers to Medicare. I interviewed a baccalaureate nurse who works on the geriatric medical surgical unit in my hospital and asked her to identify the special needs of the Baby Boomer Generation. She has been a nurse for 25 years and has worked on that unit for the past 12 years. Looking back on her experience and the current trends of problems she encounters with this generation, specifically with the lower income minority population that we work...

...One of the most enchanting things children do is learning how to talk. In a few and short years, most if not all children transition from crying and gurgling to explaining in details what they want and don’t want. From a baby’s gibberish first words through to pre-schooler, elementary to middle school; detailed and defined conversations, early language development milestones are among the most momentous events in any caregivers or parent’s life. For most children learning how to talk may seem easy but for some it is a stage of struggle and difficulty. Children learn how to talk more easily and faster if the adults in their homes spend enough time talking to them. Other children find it more difficult to develop speech because they do not hear their parents talk much. All children have the ability to learn how to talk. Learning to talk is a natural habit, a natural gift inscribed deep within mankind’s genetic inheritance ( Bardies, De Bevoise 1999 ). In about the second year after conception or one year after being born, a child will utter his first words. The swiftness and skills with which many children master the art of speaking has always fascinated many adults. Before a child knows how to coordinate his hands to snap a toy, he will utmost have understood some if not all the sentences addressed to him by an adult. Before they even how to tie up or knot their shoelaces they will virtually have mastered the art of talking their language. This special ability of acquiring language...

As someone starts to get older, they start feeling the consequences of aging and strive to find a healthier life style. Still, there comes a point when many people require the professional need of long term health care services. As healthy as today’s population is, illness is usually comes as something unexpected. Upon such an eventuality, a person may require some type of specialized health care needs. POPULATION CONTROL With the Baby Boomer generation decides to retire or stops aging at a phenomenal rate, people requiring long term health care needs are on the rise still. People are living longer and their health care needs may be beyond that, which can be managed by family members. Fortunately, within the current health care field there is a wide variety of systems available for helping to take care of an elderly family member. It is even possible for the family to take the elderly person into his or her home. Alternatively, the family may have to decide to place the elderly member in a nursing home for long-term care. Whichever choice is deemed best, it is always critically important that the elderly person feels comfortable in the environment in which he or she is placed (Feder, Komisar & Niefeld, 2000). According to United States society census...

...Tutorial One Case Study - Generation snap Continuance commitment is one dimension to organizational commitment, which refers to the economic reason for staying in an organization (Robbins et al. 2011). If the generational snap exists regarding this commitment, it is obviously that the Gen Y will have a high turnover rate comparing with other generations. As the case illustrates, Gen Y are well connected with the society, impatient for career success and possessing high technological skills. Thus, economic reasons cannot prevent them from leaving the organization when they intend to do so. While other generations may afraid that there are less opportunities for them to find another job with a satisfactory salary once they quit the job. Another possible difference is that the Gen Y seems to have more confidence than other generations. They are confident about the skill they had acquired and their ability to socialize. There are several strategies for improving the level of job satisfaction for generation Y employees. The first strategy is to approve. The Gen Y need to feel that their abilities have been confirmed and they are making a contribution to the company. People in other generations may have the mentality of “Let nature take its course”, but the Gen Y like to take the initiative and get things done depend on their strength. Thus, other people’s recognition is essential to a satisfactory job. The second strategy is to give response quickly. The generation Y are impatient...

...the practice of appealing to the unique needs and behaviors of individuals within more than one specific generational group, with a generation being a group of individuals born and living about the same time [1]. This means that marketers need to understand the six U.S. generations: Pre-Depression Generation, Depression Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z. When a marketer factors in the different characteristics and behaviors of the generations, it should be easier to build relationships, gain trust, and close business. [2, 3] As such, an understanding of multigenerational marketing is very important to the marketer. The purpose of this paper is to describe briefly the U.S. generations in terms of the times in which they grew up as well as the characteristics, lifestyles, and attitudes of the group.

...One of the largest industries to be facing a Human Resources issue is the Health Care industry. The downsizing of the healthcare workforce that will result as Baby Boomers retire is upwards of 28%. There is a growing need for qualified, non-generalized employees in the medical field. Coming with the need for employees for the medical positions will be a need for additional HR and IT personnel. The Healthcare field is constantly changing, and HR in this field is projected to fall behind in the coming future. One of the biggest concerns for in future HR trends is that the Baby Boomers are leaving the workforce. This is not an issue by itself, but when paired with the lack of skilled workers joining the field, it is a problem. While on the surface, the problem will effect the staffing; the problem could be more wide reaching and affect the cost and availability of healthcare to the general public. While this trend isn’t specific to healthcare, and all industries are facing challenges, issues arise when organizations, in particular those in the healthcare realm, have skilled senior people as opposed to generalists. Retaining experience is crucial and the current generation is not filling the positions vacated by aging Baby Boomers. These Boomers will soon stop putting into the Medicare and Social Security taxes, yet will begin to draw from them and that money is projected to run out in about 15 years. HR managers face the task of filling the open positions, and what seems to...

...The Future of Information Technology in Business Overview Every aspect of daily life is impacted and supported through the use of technology. The healthcare industry, education, national security, and organizational infrastructures are connected, monitored, and managed through the use of technology. Nearly every human has access to a piece of technology. Even in remote locations around the world, technology is being used to bring people together (Macintyre, 2011). The workplace has also been significantly impacted through the adoption of technology. In a recent study published by the Corporate Leadership Council (2013b), globalization, economic change, and consumerization have created new realities for the workplace. These realities include the need for greater interdependence, frequent organizational change and flexibility, greater knowledge intensity, and more technology choices – all of which can be managed through the use of technology (Council, 2013b). With this increased demand for technology services worldwide, the information technology sector is projected to grow by 22% between 2010 and 2020 (Lockard & Wolf, 2012). In response to this demand, a higher percentage of college graduates are expected to earn a degree in the field of information technology and enter the workforce. The NACE Class of 2012 Student Survey Report (Koc, 2012) indicated computer science majors ranked highest - at 69%, to most likely to get job offers. The future success of organizations...
