...Advantages and disadvantages of living in a joint family A joint family was a phenomena found only in India of the bygone days. This really meant that, the parents with all their children and grandchildren stayed together under one single roof. This system could prevail for decades for several reasons. First and foremost, all the children stayed in the same town as, no one went out of the town to another distant town in search of a job.

...Essay final draft Marriage Versus living together I choose this topic because it is a difficult decision that many of us make in todays world. Statistics say that married people are healthier, happier, live longer, have higher income, less violence and more fulfilled then couples living together. I feel it may be true for some couples but not all. Couples might choose to live together instead of geeting married because one has a huge amount of debt. Marrying them will have collection agencies going after their money. When you are married both incomes are counted when applying for grants, loans and state help. Its somtimes much easier not to marry, rather thann not ge help ones family needs because of combined incomes. I think couples might choose to live together without marriage because of their financial situation. Now in days people can not make ends meet living alone. Some couples live together in case the marriage does not work. They do not have to worry about cost of divorce and all the paper work that is involved. Now in days most of the population live together firs before becoming marry. I know young people age around 18 and 20 are more likely to move in together or start a relationship faster than older adults. This day in time alot of adults are waiting later years to make this commitments. Because of younger age lack of maturity. My fiance and I have lived together for 5 years because of difference...

...A Gap of Sky “I'm flying over London on a cold November night Unlit parks like bullet wounds on the blanket of electric lights The city is a living creature on it's own And we all push like blood through it's veins, so close together, so alone” Tina Dicow – London In the short story A Gap of Sky (2008) by Anna Hope we meet a young girl, Ellie. Ellie is a seemingly regular teenage girl who lives in London and studies at UCL. The only thing that might separate her from the crowd is how she spends her nights. Instead of staying home or doing homework, Ellie likes to party and do drugs. The basic storyline is that Ellie has a paper due for the next day, which she hasn’t yet started, probably because she has been partying. Apparently Ellie hasn’t applied herself enough at school, and risks getting kicked out if she doesn’t hand in her assignments. To make matters worse, Ellie is all out of printer ink, and she decides to go the student shop at UCL to buy some. On her way there she is faced with a few obstacles, and has to redirect herself in order to reach her destination. The story has a third person omniscient narrator and it is written as a stream of consciousness, which helps to give the impression that Ellie might be under the influence of a drug. Throughout the story Ellie has a hard time keeping focus; even though she realizes that it will have serious consequences if she doesn’t hand in her assignment, she is still more occupied with getting drugs than fulfilling...

...positive. What kind of impact would that have on you? How would you react to this devastating news? Where would you begin to do your research on such a matter? Who could you turn to? I understand that none of the board members in this small town in Gwinnett County called Little Foot can fathom the idea around me wanting to open a HIV Clinic for people living with HIV or AID’s which I would call Positive Impact. However, I can assure the community of Little Foot that, by opening this clinic, I can produce a positive impact by helping reduce the spread of HIV and the homelessness of people with it, and that it will help provide free counseling for your family and or friends, in order to combat the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS. I want to also explain to you facts and personal examples of why this stigma of HIV is destroying the very communities around us. In Little Foot alone 10.5% of the population is recorded to be infected with the virus in 2015. That’s almost 1100 of our population of 10,000 people. You all sit in your board rooms thinking that it can’t be you or one of your loved ones but I assure you it can. “One in eight people living with HIV are unaware of their infection” (aids.gov). This means that someone in your board room could be infected and not even know. Positive Impact would therefore provide testing for all people of the community. It’s better to know and seek treatment then not to know at all. I’m trying to save the masses from this epidemic. Studies show that people...

...There are many pieces of literature throughout the word. Some enlighten readers with history. Some offer specific relations to readers. Furthermore, we have discovered many of these texts throughout this class. Each text has offered us a better understanding of a particular culture. We have experienced the hardships and economic struggles of many Mexican Americans striving to assimilate towards the American culture. Both the movie and the text demonstrate the lives of the migrant worker communities through oral recollections, collectivism, and economic situations. In the book we are given an unnamed protagonist who represents the community through a single voice. Whereas in the movie the protagonist is given a name and the community is represented through the poems read aloud. The movie And the Earth Did Not Swallow Him and the book …And the Earth Did Not Devour Him depict oral recollections, and the collectivist nature of the migrant worker community while also documenting the economic situations of migrant workers. Oral recollections appear throughout the film And the Earth Did Not Swallow Him. A character such as Don Bartolo demonstrates a great example of this. In the movie, Bartolo is constantly singing the communities stories and poems aloud. Each story represents how individuals deal with struggles within a community. Another example of an oral recollection in the movie is the story of Juanita and Ramon. This poem is another one of Don Bartolo stories that he sings aloud...

Long-term care can be provided for anybody and can be performed in a nursing home, in the individual's residence or in assisted living centers. What is continuum of care services in the United States? Continuum of care is a concept involving an integrated system of care that guides and tracks patient over time through a comprehensive array of health services spanning all levels of intensity of care, providing a framework to guide day-to-day decision-making and providing a framework for delivery of optimum health care to patient populations. Basically what that means is that it allows for you as a patient to have your care managed effectively from basic care, like prescriptions and making appointments, to more advanced care, like in-hospital and critical care. It creates the "medical community" where the doctors and ancillary staff involved in your treatment all communicate regarding your diagnoses, procedures, treatments etc. It links all your services and avoids duplicating them. Meaning, your primary care orders tests that your specialists don't repeat. Everyone sees everything and it allows for better treatments...

...body and felt he has nobody there to be with him. The Anderson family incorporates Martha into dinner so she does not feel so alone.

...Family Life in the 21st Century! Family life has become more stressful – two working parents, blended families, single parent homes, adolescent challenges, child safety concerns. Gender roles in relationships have become less defined. Children don’t arrive with an instruction book! Parenting is the only job for which there is no required education or training. Couples often have to balance career goals with personal goals. Older children moving back home and intergenerational relationships profoundly affect families. Research points to creating strong relationships as an essential ingredient for happiness and longevity. Effective communication is a foundation for relationships and is challenged by our instant message, sound byte society. Family Structures The following types of families exist today, with some families naturally falling into multiple categories. For example, a single parent family who lives in a larger, extended family. While these types of families are distinct in definition, in practice the lines are less clear. Nuclear Family The nuclear family is the traditional type of family structure. This family type consists of two parents and children. The nuclear family was long held in esteem by society as being the ideal in which to raise children. Children in nuclear families receive strength and stability from the two-parent structure and generally have more opportunities due to the financial ease of two adults. According to U.S. Census data, almost...

...Two opposing stakeholders are the small oil palms growers and the orangutans that live in the rain forest. The orangutans lead an arboreal life and live off of a diet largely consisting of fruit. They just want to be left alone to swing from tree to tree and eat fruit in the rain forest. Smallholders are looking for a way to make money and raise their standard of living. There are not a lot of options in Indonesia and Malaysia for them. One way is to grow oil palms. But to do that they need land and the easiest way to get it is to take land that is currently covered by rain forests. So they cut or burn the rain forest down to grow palms. Unfortunately this destroys the habitat of the orangutan. The orangutans can’t just pack up and move or adopt new ways of surviving in a new environment. They need the forest to survive. The growers don’t have a lot of resources to work around the rain forest issue so they take land away from the orangutan to provide for their families. The World Wildlife Fund and Little Brownie Bakers have opposing stakes in this issue. World Wildlife Fund is interested in saving the animals that live in the rain forest from destruction. They oppose cutting down the rain forest to make way for plantations. Little Brownie Bakers is interested in quality ingredients for their products. With no clear alternative to palm oil they need a supplier that can produce enough palm oil to meet demand. They buy from a plantation that is cutting down rainforest and that...

...Living apart together (L.A.T) Living apart together also called “L.A.T” is a term who describes couples who have a relationship married or not, but live at separate places. It is not like a “long-distance-relationships”, because LAT’s have chosen to live separately themselves. In Text 2 David Popenoe, who is co-director of a marriage and family studies center, describes how living apart together is becoming a trend, and that this trend started in Europe and is now on its way to America. The number of couples living apart together is increasingly these days, and it is becoming more normal. Text 2 also describes how LAT’s chose to live apart to avoid situations that can be problematic, such as having children from earlier relationships, and being very different. The L.A.T. advocate and therapist Judye Hess aggress, being a part of LAT couple herself, and means that too many couples try to be something they are not when they are in a relationship and live together, “Many people are trying to fit themselves into a very narrow model for long-term relationships that does not work for their personalities. If more people saw living apart as an option, it might save them a lot of pain and breakups”. This is supported with a personal story, from Donna Davis who is 47 years, and Jim Puckett who is 59 years. They love each other, but like living apart, and say that it works out perfectly for them. But David Peopene is skeptical about the new L.A.T trend, especially when it comes to...
