...Examining Government Regulations Anonymous HSM/210 Examining Government Regulations The target population I will be examining is the elderly, the first issue is Ozone standards. Based on extensive scientific evidence about ozone's effects the EPA proposed to strengthen the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. This will improve public health protection especially for children and the elderly. The updates also will improve protection for trees, plants and ecosystems. The second regulation to examine is on (CCRC) Continuing Care Retirement Communities. A. CCAC as a Surrogate for Regulation, B. Benefits of Government Regulation, C. Drawbacks of Government Regulation. Continuing Care Retirement Communities are the best option for the elderly and long-term care. They are known for the strategy of having different levels of care in the community setting and the way they provide cost effective care. As they continue to grow and lose the bad reputation for being financially unstable more of our elderly are finding this option attractive. However not all of the elderly population can afford this option, because the cost is too high. The problem has drawn attention from in and outside the industry who want to make CCRC affordable to more of the elderly population. It is well-documented that America's older population is rapidly expanding. "Between 1990 and 2130 the elderly population is expected to double to 65 million people" (DHHS, 1992). As the...

...Examining Government Regulations Student Name HSM/210 Date Instructor Name Living with any type of disability can be difficult; however, the deaf population in America faces a unique challenge when trying to pursue the American dream: finding a job. Upon researching contemporary problems within the United States, it was discovered that gaining and keeping employment among the estimated one million functionally deaf individuals in America is one of the larger problems that the deaf community faces. The reason that this is such a large obstacle is that communication within a workplace is vital to ensuring successful completion of tasks and accomplishing goals. Programs have been put in place, and legislative measures have been introduced, to assist these individuals in not only gaining employment, but also in maintaining a healthy and happy work environment that can lead to career longevity. The first step to ensuring open channels of communication among both the deaf and hearing communities is to form a standard of education. After Arizona entered the Union in February of 1912, one of its first state legislatures enacted a provision to form the Arizona Schools for the Deaf and Blind (Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind, 2011). Starting classes in October of that year with just 19 children with hearing loss, the school continued to grow over the years to eventually become a public corporation. This school has many services for eligible students; including...

...Examining Government Regulations The American Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed by Congress and signed into law by President George H. Bush on July 26, 1990 to protect the civil rights of disabled individuals in regards to their employment, public transportation, and access to public establishments (National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, 2012). In regards to employment for individuals living with disabilities, the ADA outlines regulations and laws that are to be followed by potential employers. One of the regulations states that potential employers may not discriminate against an applicant based on a disability of a potential employee. This regulation is enforced by the U.S. Equal Employment Oppurtunity Commision. These regulations have significant impact on persons living with a disability. Until the Amercian Disabilities Act took affect, persons with disabilities had no recourse for discrimination. Employers could refuse to hire a qualified individual based on the presence of a disability or the employer perceiving the applicant of having a disability. Potential employers could also deny a disabled applicant a position based on not being able to accomadate their disbabilty. With the ADA, employers are responsible for providing reasonable accomadations to a qualified applicant in order for them to properly perform their job responsibilities (The ADA: Your Employment Rights as an Individual With a Disability, 2005). These accomadations include...

...Examining Government Regulations for the Elderly HSM/210 November 8, 2013 Examining Government Regulations for the Elderly In order for any organization to run properly there must be regulations and laws in place. The Human Services Department of any state must adhere to strict guidelines provided by the federal government because if these rules are not followed there would not be enough resources to help every individual that desperately needs it. Therefore, in order to prevent to rise of elder abuse as our aging population continues to grow by the thousands each day, there must be some changes made to our existing social policies in order for these people to have their needs met. With this said, my target population in week two was the elderly population. With the ever growing number of people reaching retirement age each year since 2011 when the generation known as the Baby Boomers started to retire at the rate of almost 10,000 per day, many of these elderly people must rely on the services provided by their local human services organizations. In the state of Missouri alone, where I live, Missouri’s elderly population, which is defined by those age 65 and older, is expected to rise significantly over the next several years, from less than 15 percent of the state population in the year 2000 to over 20 percent of the population by the year 2030 (Missouri Senior Report, 2013). However, the needs of the elderly population vary greatly because the youngest...

...Globalization of Labour In this modern era, labour markets around the world have become integrated. Countries such as China and India have transformed their labour markets to open markets. This is due to the new economic reforms and political changes within the countries. Changes in the regulations of cross country trade and a reduction in restricted capital flows have allowed greater world wide integration in labour markets. The technological innovation combined with these factors has allowed production processes to be set up in other countries thus creating more jobs. This has also lead firms to be more cost efficient, although the exploitation of these resources have also lead to controversial and ethical problems. The opening up of the Chinese, Central European and Indian markets have lead to a large surge of labour supply for economies around the world. The global labour supply has increased four times from 1980 to 2005. Moreover, majority of this increase is come from the East Asian markets as the population of the working age is increasing. Furthermore, the majority of the increase was from people without higher education. Whereas the supply of labour with higher education increased by fifty percent later as the economies in China and India developed further. Trade is a critical channel to access global labour markets. Immigration has increased in many countries worldwide but still is restricted in many countries. Immigration has increased in countries such as Germany...

...Examining Government Regulations HSM 210 6-22-2014 Examining Government Regulations I have researched the aging Hispanic population where I live in Texas. Texas is one of the largest areas where Hispanics reside. With the older Hispanics in Dallas, the city where I reside, 40.5 percent are estimated to be poor, or near poor (Mahone, J. 1988). There are major barriers to getting needed services to the aging Hispanic community. These barriers range from language to an overloaded staff with aging services (Severence, J. 2009). Texas's challenges with this issue are funding for services needed for older Hispanics. Due to the funding situation, this results in trimming program allocations, causing a freeze in hiring staff and less programs are able to be created. Another challenge, is the fact that the long-term care-giving of Hispanic families use to be handled within their own families homes; however, today these family caregivers are dwindling in size. As the age of caregivers increases, the informal caregiver system is becoming overwhelmed. According to the U. S. Census Bureau, more than thirty-three percent of the Texas population speaks another language in their home. How accurate this is, is uncertain, because many non-English speaking Hispanics are not included in the Census. Texas has the second-largest aging Hispanic population in the nation. Texas also has sixty-four frontier counties that has an average of less than...

...To Consent or Not To Consent Bruce Ridley Colorado Technical University On-line Composition: Writing and Research ENGL103-1601A-04 Elke Kleisch February 07, 2016 To Consent or Not To Consent “ You have no privacy – get over it”, declared CEO of Sun Microsystems ( now Oracle) Scott McNealy in 1999; according to Parent (2007). When strong statements are made proclaiming consumer privacy is being compromised, that's justification for concerns. With on-line activities and communications on the rise, consumers need to be aware of what they are consenting to with the aide of government regulations. In the following paragraphs, we'll discuss consumer concerns, possible fixes to these issues and explain why further regulations are needed. Consumer awareness is very important. The majority of the time, consumers just click accept when gaining access to sites on-line. According to Meinert, Peterson, Criswell II, & Crossland (2006) consumers rarely read privacy policies. One reason for the lack of interest, could be the legal jargon written throughout the policies. Another reason for not reading policies is that in order to use the services being offered, you must agree to the terms and conditions. Once the terms are accepted, consumer privacies are being exploited. Data gathering or collecting starts when you agree to the terms of the consent policy (Farah, & Higby, 2001).

...Examining Business Failure 1 Abstract The author of this paper will present an examination of the business failure of WorldCom Incorporated and also compare and contrast the leadership management and organizational structures and failures. Examining Business Failure 2 Introduction WorldCom was the second largest long distance provider and on July 19, 2002 filed the largest bankruptcy ever in U.S. history with its $41 billion dollar debt load, and more than $107 billion dollars in assets. In 1999 WorldCom’s profits began to decrease when WorldCom reduced budgets on telecom services and equipment. The former CEO of WorldCom, Bernie Ebbers, submitted his resignation from his position. Being CEO, he was the leader of WorldCom, and as such, should help an employee feel supported and safe enough to discuss openly or acknowledge the problem he or she is responsible for. When he resigned from the company, it raised questions because Ebbers had about $366 million dollars in personal loans from the company. Upon the revealing of his resignation to the employees, they were alarmed that something important was happening within the company, but had not yet been exposed. Bernie Ebbers started out in the telecommunications industry in 1983 providing long distance services in Jackson, Mississippi at a company formally known as LDDS. Over the years, the company grew through a series of business deals. In 1995, the name of the company was changed from LDDS to WorldCom...

...The Commerce Clause: Protector of Trade or Tool for Expanding Government Power? Ever since its inclusion in the Constitution, the Commerce Clause, along with the Necessary and Proper clause, has been a source of debate and contention. Indeed, there were over 1400 cases filed with the Supreme Court challenging its application before the 20th century alone. With the passage of the controversial Affordable Care Act, the Commerce Clause was brought once more to the forefront of national attention. The Obama administration, and other prominent voices on the Left, claim that the clause itself gave them broad powers of control and regulation. Those on the Right claim that the clause was put into place specifically to limit the influence of the Federal government on the power of trade between the states. The question is clear: does the Commerce Clause truly grant unlimited power to expand the Federal government through regulation, or has it been abused by those in the Federal government off and on since its inception? I will attempt to answer this question by examining first the Clause itself, the Federalist Paper written by James Madison (the father of the Commerce Clause) and then the Supreme Court cases which have called it into question. Let us begin by examining the wording of the Commerce Clause (along with the Necessary and Proper clause) itself: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the...
