...Reflective Paper Daphne Jackson BSHS/345 April 18, 2015 Elaine McCullough "Generational poverty" is defined as having been in poverty for at least two generations. Generational Poverty creates a strong family oriented environment that is a bond that most children refuse to want to break by leaving home. In generational poverty, the players feel that society owes them a living whereas in situational, they often allow pride to keep them from accepting needed assistance. Most of the children that are raised in poverty have a lack of education resulting in a high dropout rate due to frustration in learning, teen pregnancy and other personal problems or situations. Children become possessions to their parents, instead of individuals that should taught the basics and values of life. So, they can feel prepared to move out on their own to achieve success within their lives and the future to come. In most households, older children tend to take care of the younger children; forming a sense of belonging to the family, which can result in the younger kids having a “fear factor” out living life on their own. Many single parents work longer hours to make ends meet, but a sacrifice of the inability to educate their children makes for low test scores in school. This type of situation causes educational boundaries that could cause illiteracy with children wanting to drop out because of anger and depression issues. Poverty can occur in one of two methods. The first is caused by an event...

...external factors were affecting UPS’s HR practices? How did UPS respond to the trends? They responded to the trends by taking the idea of a traditional classroom to establish the Integrad buildings. Now that the trainees play video games that simulates mock village delivery as well as the slip and fall. These are the types of processes we will have to change as we go through generations and a fast changing global environment 2) Why is efficiency and safety so important to UPS? What role do the company’s industrial engineers play in how employees do their work? Efficiency means saving time and lowers expenses as well. As for safety, which they must take of importance otherwise they would have to consult with labor union. At the end of the day, UPS just wants the employees to have their tasks and deliveries done in a set amount of time to be as efficient as possible. 3) What changes did the company make to its driver training program? What do you think of these changes? Significant changes and if you think about it, was a low risk. UPS basically wanted to get with the times and go along with the generation we now live in. The driving simulator identifies obstacles for them to overcome, and the slip and fall simulator. My personal opinion is that it saved a bunch of time and money. It saved time by having a higher percent of graduates of the program and not having to start the process over...

...of this knowledge in the support of the position of ethical relativity. All being different he believed there is an underlying continuity to structures of moral development throughout all cultures. (Krasemann, 2012) The six stages include: Stage 1. The Punishment and Obedience Orientation, Stage 2. The Instrumental/Relativist Orientation, Stage 3. The Interpersonal Concordance Orientation, Stage 4. The “Law and Order” Orientation, Stage 5. The social Contract Orientation, and Stage 6. The Universal-Ethical-Principal Orientation. Let’s start with stage 1. The Punishment and Obedience Orientation. This states that if you so something wrong then you will get punished. In today’s society I see this as flawed because the younger generation does not care about the consequences, all they care about is the gratification of the act at that moment. How would you choose to help stop this trend, I am confused! Stage 2. The Instrumental/Relativist Orientation is all about you help me and I’ll help you mentality. There is no thought by people anymore to do something just because it is right, it’s all about “What’s in it for me !” Do you think that if the children were brought up to respect others more that they would think about others thoughts and feelings? I think this brings up a big flaw in that things will not get done if there is nothing tangible in in it for people, do you agree and how could we change this? Stage 3 The Interpersonal Concordance Orientation...

...In Joan Didion’s essay, “On Going Home” Didion describes her experiences and thoughts on what defines her meaning of home. Didion uses many asyndetons and polysyndetons to emphasize her emotions and poses several rhetorical questions. Throughout the essay, Didion poses an important point that, perhaps her generation is the last to truly know the meaning behind the word “home”. The contributing factors to such conclusion derived from her personal experiences with her direct family (mother, father, and brother), her husband, and even her own daughter. Didion first sets her definition of home by clarifying that to her, home means “not where [her] husband and [she] and the baby live, but the place where [her] family is.” (Didion1) Her diction reflects the way she thinks about her home, with words such as “troublesome” that give off a negative connotation. Although she defines this place as her home, she expresses how she changes personalities and formalities in front of her parents and brother, which her husband is unfamiliar with. This transformation represents her familiarity with her family, whom she grew up with, or her childhood. However, since she is not in her childhood anymore, this familiarity is somewhat uncomfortable to her and her husband, whom Didion is more accustomed with. She, therefore, calls her “home” a “burden” (Didion2) where her source of tension and drama come from. Didion’s relationship with her husband reflects what she left behind at “home”. When Didion...

...The Most Expensive Home The door thuds as you close it behind you on your way out to go to school, work, or wherever you are headed. You don’t have a second thought about what you’re leaving behind: your home. But have you ever thought about the significance of that word, “home”? In Joan Didion’s essay, “On Going Home”, Didion describes her experiences and thoughts on what defines her meaning of home. Didion uses many asyndetons and polysyndetons to emphasize her emotions and poses several rhetorical questions. Throughout the essay, it can be concluded that perhaps the generation that truly knows the meaning behind the word “home” is gradually disappearing. The contributing factors to such interpretation derived from Didion’s personal experiences with her direct family, her husband, and even her own daughter.

...depends on how it is interpreted. Generation Me author Jean Twenge shows self-esteem and interest in self in many different ways throughout the book. Here, the two images portrayed display those same things along with self-confidence and self worth. As Twenge states, “The society that molds you when you are young stays with you the rest of your life” (Twenge 2). The images hold true to Twenge’s statement. Generation Me has evolved into an all about me society. The first image is that of a young, white, obese male walking through a crowded area. The young man is wearing a brown shirt with the phrase, “I’M #1 SO WHY TRY HARDER” printed front and center where everyone can notice. The second image has an older man, possibly in his sixties, dressed in a navy suit and blue tie and carrying a brown leather brief case. The older man is looking at a younger man in his twenties. The younger man is wearing a black suit jacket, casual striped button up shirt unbuttoned at the top, and jeans. Instead of a brief case, the younger man is holding a yellow binder along with a manila folder in one hand and a smart phone in the other. The images show GenMe’s focus on self. The younger men in each image are part of a generation that has grown up encouraged to focus on self, when maybe instead the focus should have been on personal health, respect for others, and having a positive impact on society. The two images spoke volumes because of the reading from Generation Me. GenMe has been raised, encouraged...

...community wide events and fundraisers. I would work to help reach out to the youth of Burleson so that our generation can become more involved with our community at a younger age. Getting the teenagers and children to participate in community events is vital to contributing to the major goals of our community and to helping Burleson thrive and grow. In addition to connecting the youth to the community, I would also pass an ordinance to raise fines for littering across our town. In continuing to unite the community of Burleson, keeping this city beautiful plays a major part. Littering is just one way in which our town becomes less unified, so I would fight to stop this disrespect of our city. I would also try to organize more money into a budget for making our city more beautiful. This budget would cover more landscaping and maintenance projects across the community. Another thing I would do as mayor would be to set aside more money in our budget to go towards our city’s drug awareness program. It is sad heart-breaking and devastating to see so many of our promising teenagers and young adults turning to drugs, alcohol, and substance abuse. In strengthening this program, more and more teenagers could become aware of their reckless behavior and the affects that come with the decisions they make. By bringing about this awareness in our youth we can ultimately create a generation of, honest, engaged, and active members of our community. All of these ideas factor into uniting our town...

...Case study Chapter 8 Of course it is very difficult to work with the different generations, as sometimes they have extremely different way of thinking and style of working. However it is not very effective to work with only one generation and it is almost impossible. As we saw from the text there is a huge gap between these two. So the workers of older generation might think that she is nothing but a kid who don’t know the rules of their company. Yet Terry is the superior of McCullen so it is his duty to do what his superior orders him (I am talking about the things connected with work and that are ethical.). So it is not right to ignore the word of Terry. On the other hand it is 21th century, which is the century of innovations, computers and technology. In order to do work more efficient and quicker people use these innovations. Firtsly we should take into consideration that McCallen has no higher education and it is difficult for his generation to learn something new and maybe they need more time for getting used to it. But they gave him a chance to learn computer skills, so he has to work hard on it in favor of the company. In my opinion it is not right to dismiss one of the parties because they both are very valuable for the company. McCallen: because he has an experience and knows the company very well. Terry: because she will give a new spirit to the company. However if I were Dawn I will dismiss McCallen if he ignores my order to learn computer and work with them...

...Xerox Case Study Introduction Communities of practice tend to be technology based and therefore are likely to bridge the generation gap allowing knowledge sharing between the generations of employees at Xerox. Communities of practice are defined as “groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and who interacts regularly to learn how to do it better” (Wenger, E., 2006). These communities bring employees together through social networking to share wisdom and knowledge of highly experienced workers; this type of information is not that of which you can find in a book or manual, it is of pure experience. Throughout the organization at Xerox, there is a gap between the older and younger generation which is preventing knowledge sharing between the two. This gap between the generations is due to flawed perceptions; meaning both generations perceive the other completely opposite of who they actually are based on stereotypes and other beliefs. C.O. P. & Generation Gap In order to overcome this gap, communities of practice should be encouraged throughout the workplace; this will increase knowledge sharing between generations, especially if a community is set up specifically for that organization and its employees. Different forms of communities might include “face to face meetings, online bulletin boards, blogs or even wiki’s” (Colquitt, J., Lepine, J., & Wesson, M., 2011, p. 258). These communities not only pass information between employees, but also...

...Introduction Persons that are born between 1980 and 1994 are classified as generation Y. They are latest members to join a multigenerational workforce, in fact they are the newest and the last members of the workforce. “Generation Y are likely to have high expectations of personal and financial success, feel that hard work pays off, and have a get-it-done result-producing attitude” (Breaux 2003,p52). Managers all over the world have been struggling with the challenge of attracting, managing and retaining Gen Y workers. Gen Y have different values and expectation of the companies they for compared to previous generations. Companies must learn how to manage Generation Y workers and cater to their needs if they want to retain Gen Y works. "Generation Y'ers are like X'ers on steroids. They are the most high-maintenance generation to ever enter the work force" (Breaux 2009,p95). As Gen Y has already started to enter the work force companies cannot afford to ignore the wants and need of Gen Y. Gen Y is just as big in numbers and will keep entering into the workforce at a rapid rate. The companies that don’t figure out how to attract and retain the growing Gen Y workers are likely to find themselves at a distinct disadvantage. After all, Generation Y is the next generation of workers who will ultimately be managing companies and determine if businesses succeed or fail.

The article written by Lynn Lancaster and David Stillman: “From World War I to the World Wide Web: traditionalists, baby boomers, generation Xers and millennials at work” is an excerpt from a book written by Lancaster and Stillman entitled , “When Generations Collide: Who They Are. Why They Clash. How to Solve the Generational Puzzle at Work.” This article discusses four separate distinct generations that make up the modern day workforce. The Traditionalists or individuals born between 1900 and 1945 make up approximately seventy-five million people. The largest population ever born in this country, the Baby Boomers, born between 1946-1964, total approximately eighty million. The smallest numbered group of approximately forty-six million, the Generation Xers, were born between 1965-1980, and the Millennials, born between 1981-1999, make up of approximately seventy-six million. Lancaster and Stillman, (2003). Sandra Gibson in her article, “E N H A N C I N G: Intergenerational Communication in the Classroom: Recommendations for Successful Teacher-Student Relationships”, discusses how the generations differ.

...growingly deep and complex. Although it is normal that people have diverse personalities and lifestyles, the disparity between generations is quite evident. Working age Chinese fell into two main generations, “a generation being defined as an identifiable group that shares birth years, age, location, and significant life events at critical developmental stages”(Kupperschmidt, 2000, p.65), divided by the year when the reform and opening up was implemented. As an increasing number of young people have graduated from schools and start their careers, concern about the generational difference in the workplace is raised. Since different generation internally share different value and culture, communication problems and interpersonal conflict are almost inevitable, which may result in negative impact in workplace, like inefficiency and low productivity. In this essay, the causes and effects of these problems will be examined before continuing suggesting solutions. The essay will then be concluded by presenting personal opinion on this topic. The first and perhaps most common problem emerges from generational differences in the workplace is communication difficulty. The young generation and old generation both have their unique languages due to different culture background and social environment, which makes it difficult for people from the other generation to understand the language, leading to different perception towards same expression. According to Kersten (2002), an elder member...
