...become the most educated generation in American history, making them very significant to society. The millennial generation is also consumed with technology and social networking. 2. Compare and contrast the Millennials with the other generations identified by Pew. Drawing from your own experience, identify and describe an example of an individual from your own experience that reflects the characteristics of each generation. The millennial generation is less likely to have served in the military compared to Gen Xers, the Baby Boomers and the Silent generation. The use and knowledge of technology is the reason Millennials feel they are distinguished from other generations, however, Gen Xers also cite technology as their generation’s biggest source of distinctiveness. Of the four generations, Millennials are the only one that doesn’t claim “work ethic” as a contributor to distinctiveness. Millennials, however, are the most open to change followed closely by Gen Xers. My great-grandmother would be an example from the Silent generation. She experienced the great depression and my great-grandfather was a veteran of many wars. Their work ethic was much more valued then, than it would be to today’s generation. My mom and dad would both be an example from the baby boomer generation. They witnessed and participated in some of the greatest social changes in the country’s history during the 1960s and 1970s with the Civil Rights Movement and the Women’s Movement. They...

...is gaining special popularity as educational material for nurses as healthcare is shifting towards heavily focusing on prevention of diseases and preservation of health. This teaching experience featured information about vaccines that would be pertinent to teach to parents of all ages and nationalities utilizing a childcare center in Tempe, AZ. The topic presented was about relevant information concerning vaccines that parents of children ages 0-10 years old would be interested in learning. The information was delivered via a power point presentation which included graphics, open dialogue, a quiz section at the end of the power point and a question and answer segment. The nursing diagnoses identified were, “risk for infection related to incomplete immunization series, knowledge deficit (parent) related to potential side effects of vaccinations and readiness for enhanced knowledge related to health promotion and vaccinations” (Clark, 2003). Traits to gauge readiness to learn were identified as, “motivation, maturation, past experience, activity, practice, reinforcement and transfer of learning,” (Knowles, 1990). In this teaching experience the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning is used through the creation of a power point presentation to show the information to the audience using both words and pictures.

...Accountability Equals Responsibility Gen 200 Nicole Perry Accountability Equals Responsibility Personal responsibility is a key factor in academic, professional and personal success because ultimately you control the process of meeting that goal. No matter what your goal is, there are appropriate steps to take in achieving them through personal responsibility. You have to hold yourself accountable because you have the tools needed right in front of you if you take the time to notice. What is personal responsibility? Before you can achieve personal responsibility you have to know what it is and consists of. I found that personal responsibility consists of moral and mental accountability, described as “deciding what if anything is morally obligatory is principle concerns of ethics” (Merriam-Webster). If you hare morally accountable you are demand as a moral agent. To be morally responsible you must be accepting of your actions. It is easy to blame someone else rather than to say you were in the wrong, if you listen to the small voice inside your head you will be able to take disciple and accept responsibility. The major step of accepting responsibility is to step back and ask yourself an important question, how would your peers feel about the decision you are about to make? One step toward success in our life is to first know that we and only we are responsible for our actions. The final step in understanding what personal responsibility is to take responsibility...

...Obesity 1 Obesity Ashley Wood GEN 499 Dan Hicks April 29, 2014 Obesity 2 Obesity is close to being one of the most significant health issues that children and adults are facing today. Obesity is defined as, " ...having too much body fat. It is different from being overweight, which means weighing too much. The weight may come from muscle, bone, fat, and/or body water. Both terms mean that a person's weight is greater than what's considered healthy for his or her weight"(Medline Plus, 2013). Being obese increases one's risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, and even some cancers. This also increases the cost in our economy. "The economic costs from the excess morbidity and mortality attributable to obesity-related diseases go beyond health-care costs alone, perhaps most notable are the consequent losses in productivity" (Wang, McPherson, Marsh, Gortmaker, & Brown, 2011). We need to be focusing on more physical activity and better eating habits. This essay will include a literature review of three scholarly sources based on obesity, explain how academic knowledge impacts social elements of local and global communities, asses how principles of active citizenship could impact the issue of obesity within the next five years, as well as share two bogs on obesity. The first literature of review on obesity is focused on guidelines and treatment for the disease. There have been numerous treatment programs but none have provided...

...English Contents ABOUT THIS BOOK ................................5 THE WORDS.............................................7 WORD ANALYSIS ...............................103 IDIOM AND USAGE ............................117 About This Book English offers perhaps the richest vocabulary of all languages, in part because its words are culled from so many languages. It is a shame that we do not tap this rich source more often in our daily conversation to express ourselves more clearly and precisely. There are of course thesauruses but they mainly list common words. Other vocabulary books list difficult, esoteric words that we quickly forget or feel self-conscious using. However, there is a bounty of choice words between the common and the esoteric that often seem be just on the tip of our tongue. Vocabulary 4000 brings these words to the fore. Whenever possible, one-word definitions are used. Although this makes a definition less precise, it also makes it easier to remember. Many common words appear in the list of words, but with their less common meanings. For example, the common meaning of champion is “winner.” A less common meaning for champion is to support or fight for someone else. (Think of the phrase “to champion a cause.”) This is the meaning that would be used in the list. As you read through the list of words, mark any that you do not know with a check mark. Then when you read through the list again, mark any that you do not remember with two checks. Continue in this...
