...legal to build the mall? The answer is yes, there is nothing illegal about buying out the nursing home and building the mall there. Is it fair? The answer to this is would be no, because it isn’t fair to the senior citizens living in the nursing home. Is the decision right? On this question, I would not be sure whether to answer yes or no, because it can be right if we would like to bring profitable to the whole community. And the last question is the decision going to further sustainable development? And I would have to say yes, because there would be more money, which in turn can be used to build another nursing home and seniors’ recreation center, or buy out another property or land. Under the Pastin approach, I would probably make the decision to be in favor of the keeping the home for the senior citizens because it seems cruel to put the elders out of their homes and force them to go find another place to...

...Windshield Survey Bay Ridge is an interesting neighborhood with quiet residential areas, plenty of recreational activities, shops, and restaurants. The homes in Bay Ridge cover a wide spectrum of styles and prices. The housing here is mostly made up of single family homes on tree-lined streets, but there are also a lot of co-ops and some apartments. It's very safe; the neighbors in Bay Ridge are friendly and look out for each other. The population is mainly Italian, Greek, and Irish, but there are a good number of Arabic speaking residents as well. It also has a huge elderly population because this is a town where people stay their whole lives. There is no shortage of things to do with lots of restaurants that serve ethnic foods, nice parks, and a lovely pier where people fish. Most of the action takes place on 86th street, and there are more than one hundred bars in this town. While there are subway stations and an express bus in Bay Ridge, the commute to Manhattan is lengthy. Drivers have easy access to major highways, but parking can be challenging. Most people, especially the senior will walk to their destination. The lack of parking adds to the problem. It does not make sense to move the car when there is no parking available. Some houses have created their own parking spaces by making a space in the front yard Upon walking down 86th street, the street is lined with every kind of store you would expect to find in a mall in suburban America: Century 21, McDonald's, 86...

...of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in 1997. Many policy initiatives have been introduced in terms of financial support, better housing, and long-term care services. For active ageing, an innovative project known as the ‘Elder Academy’ aimed at promoting intergenerational cohesion, which is now under threat owing to changing social patterns. With the rapid increase in the number of ‘old-olds’, more resources on dementia care, community support, professional staff development, carer training, and coordination of care are necessary. In terms of financing, shared responsibility is the only viable option. In the 2012-13 budget speech, a pilot for community care service voucher as a means of promoting ageing at home was announced. As the coming cohorts of elders are more affluent and knowledgeable, they tend to be healthier and have different demands and expectations, such as independent living with better quality of life. The private sector may explore the markets of community care services and elder-oriented products. To meet the emerging needs, a holistic approach should be adopted, with modifications of the labour laws to make use of the talents of elders and to provide more flexible work arrangements for family members to care for elders. Key word: Health services for the aged AN UNFORESEEN SITUATION “Population ageing is first and foremost a success story for public health policies as well as social and economic development.”1 Population ageing is attributable...

...Unit 9 Project: Fitness Center for Obese Children LaToya Brown Kaplan University CM220-06 Professor Manning June 18, 2012 Fitness Center for Obese Children “Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.”(Baldwin, 2003). Childhood obesity is a medical condition that affects too many children today. Who is to blame? (Slovieiter, 2008). “Childhood obesity is not a problem with the children it’s a problem with the parents.” (Baldwin, 2003). Parents do not educate their children about the importance of eating healthy and exercising. They are too busy with work and other things to take the time to prepare a healthy meal or snack, so they buy fast foods for their children to eat. Most of these parents do not understand how important it is for their children to eat healthy and exercise. Many do not even think exercise is critically important for themselves and their children. However, research have has shown exercise to be essential for one’s health. Therefore, opening a fitness center and providing educational classes can help with the problem. Childhood obesity has increased over the years. There are many factors that contribute to this increase, like for instance parents. Many parents do not know what childhood obesity is, and the effects it can have on their children. So they have failed short on educating their children on the importance of eating healthy and exercising. I interviewed...

Neglect and Abuse Answer the following questions in 100 to 200 words each. Provide citations for all the sources you use. • What is ageism? How does ageism influence the presence of diversity in society? Ageism is a form of discrimination and prejudice, particularly experienced by seniors. Most seniors are mentally and physically active regardless of age with a great deal to contribute. http://www.alfa.org/alfa/Ageism.asp Ageism influences the presence of diversity because those who are affected by ageism within their career may lose their job due to newer, younger, cheaper people coming into the workplace to take over their current position. Which may leave those who are older without proper insurance to take care of their aging bodies which could result in earlier deaths and a lack of diversity in the world. Also when the younger generation takes over positions in the workplace that workplace will have a lack of diversity as well. http://www.studymode.com/essays/Eth125-R8-Disability-Diversity-1534126.html • What is the Age Discriminitation in Employment Act (ADEA)?
