...The advantages and disadvantages of Joint Family The advantages and disadvantages of living in a Joint Family have been discussed in this article. Hope that you will find it useful. The joint family is gradually becoming a passing phenomenon. It, however, still survives in some rare instances, but even there the forces of decay are creeping in. Advantages of Joint Family The advantages of a joint family are more than one can count. * It is the best pattern of living that is most conducive to the growth. * It is based on a principle of equitable economy. It holds it as a rule of creation that all men are not equal. Naturally it imposes a kind of unwritten discipline that those who are more able economically shall share some of the burden of those who are not. * The joint mess, naturally, runs on an understanding of mutual adjustment. Naturally those who are benefitted by the generosity of others remain obliged and grateful. * Similarly in a big joint family the study groups of boys are formed according to their age matching. Naturally the cousins study together, play together, quarrel together and are even punished together. As a result there grows in them a feeling of camaraderie that is free from any discrimination of one being a full brother or a cousin. * In marriages also the grooms for marriageable girls become a concern for all the elders in the family. Even if a daughter of a junior brother is selected by someone because of her beauty or brilliance...

...moments of ambiguity and some highlights in the film that indirectly give us a sense of ageism, sexism and cultural values. The directors craft helps tie these together in a way that is appealing to the audience and can be drawn back to David R. Shumways’ of that era. First I’d like to analyze my impression of the film. Before the film I knew of Bob Dylan, his music, his legacy. I was under the impression that Dylan fell into the category of mellow pot smokers or “stoners” of the midsixties who were heavily involved in politics and current events. Then having heard a few of his songs, I thought, “wow this guy really wants the best for our society”. With that in mind, I also believed Bob Dylans personality would be sort of gentle and affectionate. Dont Look Back pretty much challenged all point of views. Dylan gets into a lot of conflict throughout the film. There are several moments, when we are unsure if Dylan is being civil or argumentative with people. Although, we do get a glimpse at Bob Dylans sensitive side, we are preoccupied by his radical actions throughout the film. The introduction to the documentary, is a flashback into Bob Dylan's career, showing his origins as a singer for the homeless or basically anyone who couldn't afford to see him in concert. From the audiences standpoint, we are thinking about how much of a generous person, Bob Dylan seems to be. This flashback doesn't prepares us for the drastic changes in his personality throughout the film. I believe th...

...to health care, President Barrack Obama came up with a universal healthcare program called the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Obamacare was signed into law on March, 2010. It has been the most significant repair to the United States healthcare since Medicare and Medicaid passed in 1965. In this paper, the key points that will be discussed are obamacare policy, it pros and cons, if it raises any issues with federalism and the policys effectiveness. Obamacare is aimed at helping the underinsured to gain insurance. With this plan everyone would have health insurance regardless of income, or anything that would stop the person from attaining health insurance. The Affordable Care Act is a watershed in U.S. public health policy. Through a series of extensions of, and revisions to, the multiple laws that together comprise the federal legal framework for the U.S. health-care system, the Act established the basic legal protections that until now have been absent: a near-universal guarantee of access to affordable health insurance coverage, from birth through retirement.(Rosenbaum, 2010) Obamacare is a name used by critics of President Obamas efforts to reform health care. Its a common term used to describe the Patient Protection and Affordable care Act of 2010. ObamaCare contains many benefits, especially for low and middle income families and businesses.

...1. Govenrment agencies such as HRSA(Health Resources And Services Administration) have a huge inpact on cost,acess, and quality healtcare delivery. The health resources and services administration provides health care services for low income and uninsured people. In the year of 2013 HRSA funded at least 1202 health care centers accross the nation. I Think we need more than that to be honest. America judges you by what class you are in. Theres low class,middle class and high class. A big percentage of families in america are considered low class which is considered low income. I believe in fairness,It doesnt matter who you are if someone is in need of medical attention as a healthcare worker its your job to help them regardless if they are insured or not....

...Key Elements Of Health and Social Care Services. There are many types of provisions that suppport health and social care services for example stautory, voluntary, private and informal. There are many different ways of providing health and social care. Most care is provided by the goverment, this is called stautory care this is provided by the law. For example the goverment have a responsibility to provide some type of chilcare for a child in the form of schools and nurserys. There are many examples of statutory care for example the NHS, The NHS is working with the goverment so for example if a person needed an operation which is important the NHS will get funding by taxes of individuals and the goverment to fund for this operation, this is how the NHS provide health and social care. Another way of providing health and social care services is Voluntary. Some organisations care services provide these services without being asked to, they have chosen too. For example British Red Cross and The Salvation Army, some voluntary care services count on donations from individuals and half the staff who work for them are volunteers. Private care is funded by the individual. The goverment have nothing to do with private care. With Private care a person has to be able to pay for this, the goverment do not fund for private care.

...things go, ect. In the third and fourth sessions, is where you are going to end up diagnosising the client with something and where you both will make a plan. This plan will cover how they intend to solve the problem and if they can adhere to it. Sessions 5-10 are where things become typically difficult. This is where the real problem is exposed and where challenges will start to surface. The client make face set backs in terms of lapses and frustrations as well as withdrawls. These are the most difficult because like perviously stated every person is different and you cannot accurately make a plan from the moment of meeting them.

...Best Practices to Create Welcoming and Supportive Work Environments What makes a great supportive work environment? Nursing is the heart of health care organizations. The main factors for nurses leaving their place of employment includes poor working conditions, low pay, unsafe work environments, resources to work effectively, limited career and educational opportunities (Wiskow, Albreht & Pietro, 2010). Therefore, it is essential to hire the right people that will create a friendly atmosphere and supportive work environment. In a recent study of the best places to work Schwartz (2011) reported that employers who empower their employees are more considerable committed, productive, and produce better outcomes than employees who are less empowered....

...Child abuse is something that the world knows about but it really needs more attention than it deserves. According to Zoe Marie, a 2004 study done by the US Department of Health and Human Services stated that just over four children die every day as a result of child abuse, which is terrible. That means that every six hours, a child dies because of some form of maltreatment (Marie 1). The four main types of child abuse are psychological, neglect, physical and sexual. The most frequently encountered type of abuse is neglect. In 2004, 62.8 of abused children in the United States were neglected, according to Prevent Child Abuse New York. The issue of child abuse and neglect is serious, controversial, and is escalating in today’s society. Many people are not aware, but child abuse is rampant in our society. Many child abuse and neglect cases go unreported because a person may not know the signs and symptoms of child abuse and neglect or perhaps the person or person may feel that this is an private issue and needs to be handle with in the home and no outsiders should be involved. Without the proper awareness of child abuse and neglect and the involvement of everyone this issue will continue to raise our eyebrows. I recently did an interview with Sarah Johnston, an counselor with protected services. Mrs. Johnston started off by saying about that there are over 3 million cases of child abuse in America each year. These are some of the questions I asked Mrs. Johnston about about child...

...1-Given the increasing longevity of Americans and the costs of providing long-term care, anticipation of the costs should be a major element of every family’s financial planning. Current information suggests however, that very few families or individuals give this consideration. What factors might impede this advance planning? What measures might be effective in raising awareness among the Americans about this important matter? Age, diagnosis, and ability to perform personal self-care and the sites of care delivery vary widely. Also, the unrelenting progression of time is the one constant that expresses the diverse range of life's possibilities. According to Calmus (2013), Long-term care in the United States is in crisis. The current system is not meeting the needs of the frail elderly and disabled populations. As the 77 million baby boomers enter retirement, the Long-term care crisis will likely grow, both because of the sheer number of the baby boomers and because of medical advances that have increased longevity. Regrettably, few have prepared to pay for their Long-term care, either through insurance or savings. Policymakers need to move swiftly to reform the current system to ensure that tomorrow’s retirees have access to high quality care without bankrupting future generations. According to the article "5 Big Reasons Why Americans Don't Save Their Money," Savings aren’t just important for buffering life’s emergencies; research shows that financial assets, more than income...
