...PERSUASIVE PAPER PART 1: A PROBLEM EXIST 2 Child welfare regulations need some improvements done. Child welfare has become a major topic with everybody. Child welfare will help families who is in poverty, families who are unemployed. When it comes down to a family who has a family member who is sick and the other one has to work they will not help them all that much. The other problem with child welfare is that when both parents have to work there is no extra help to cover the cost of daycare or another person to babysit for the child. Many states will not give out extra money for care of the child when both parents have to work. It is hard to raise a family on medium wage. That is why the government needs to regulate the laws on child welfare. A family who gets minimum wage pay they don’t have enough money to feed their children. That is why the regulation needs to be changed to help out the families who need food, medical treatment and other ways to meet their needs. When it comes down for a family to apply for help they get denied because the agent tells them that they are able to work and nothing is wrong with them. Which I think is wrong. Social Security as used with reference to the Social Security Act in the United States also encompasses some of what we call “welfare” or “needs” or “assistance” programs (Altmeyer, Arthur). When a family goes to get Social Security for their family because they need help they don’t get it because they are not...

In these previous English classes, most of the writing has been research papers. Comparing this project to previous projects in other English classes, I have had much more flexibility in the topic to write about and I feel that in this class, the project topic is much more applicable to me and my interests, being that it was about my future career. Previously, I did not have much knowledge on different citation systems, how to correctly cite, and for example,...

...Dynamics of Ethics: Welfare Reform Program for adults with children The program used to be called Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC); today people call the program Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). What was the reasoning behind changing the program names? There were some changes that took place outside of just the name. What is the preferred outcome with all these changes? Will these changes be positive or negative? Who will benefit or who will not benefit from these changes? Let us first look at AFDC; what was it? AFDC was formulated in 1935 and was put in place to assist families that were considered poor whom also had children under the age of 18 some kind of cash benefits to help these families live (Coven, 2005). This program was being funded by the state and federal government. Most of the money was provided from the federal and the state would apply the remainder and run the program. The state would set guidelines as too who would qualify and how much benefits they should receive. AFDC was what people would turn to too live. Being an ex AFDC recipient I always thought I knew the INS and the outs of the program. AFDC helped me raise my children from 1993 through 2004. That is 11 years and before that AFDC helped my significant other raise my child for two years from 1991 through 1993. My oldest child now is 16 years old. A total of 13 years of his life was fully or partially supported by AFDC. Personally I never thought that...

...Best Practices in Implementing Work-Life Balance Programs Srirang Jha Apeejay School of Management, New Delhi E-mail: sjha.asm@gmail.com Swarn Kant Mishra Footwear Design & Development Institute, Noida E-mail: mishra.swarnkant@gmail.com Abstract Work-life balance programs are important for contemporary organizations not only for ensuring long-term wellbeing and good health of the employees but also to attain long-term competitiveness. There have been a number of researches establishing relationship between work-life balance and organizational effectiveness. However, not many researchers have attempted to capture or review best practices in implementing work-life balance programs. This paper is a humble essay to explore if there are indeed any best practices in implementing work-life balance –a catchphrase which most of the companies love to swear by –and whether a holistic model for efficient work-life balance program can evolve from what the companies at the top are following on the ground. The authors have also tried to present a critique of gaps in current work-life balance programs. The paper raises more questions than it answers and thus provides enough fodder for the intellectual investigation on the theme. Keywords: Work-life balance, Best Practices, Organizational Excellence Introduction Work-life balance programs have attracted the attention of corporate leaders in recent times thanks to significance of such initiatives in augmenting organizational...

...Later Adulthood Development Report Adriane McClendon BSHS/325 - HUMAN SYSTEMS AND DEVELOPMENT November 2, 2015 Susan W. Jernigan Over the time in their lives, most people can acquire protected attachments; cognitively, socially, and morally, and produce families and discover good jobs. Ultimately, though, as an individual enter into their 60s and beyond, getting older leads to quicker changes in our bodily, cognitive, and social capabilities and desires, and life starts to approach its natural ending, resulting in the last life stage, beginning in the 60s, known as late adulthood. "Social changes affect a person's decision. If they move, for example, to be closer to family, they will need to make new friends in the new environment, to cope with the loss of old friends, and to deal with the changing roles within the family dynamics as one becomes older." ("End-of-Life Decisions and Late Adulthood," 2007). When an individual enters late adulthood, they start to go through various changes in their role and social position in society. At one point in their life, they were young and had a prominent role in the decisions they made for themselves and others. Many elderly people are parents and grandparents and at one point had the role of being the caretaker of their offspring. During this time of their life this position changes, and it is usually their children taking care of them now. They do not have as much power over their life as they used to have and may not have...

...Rewards Program Francena Hicks Dr. David Fountaine,SPHR Talent Management HRM53201016 10/27/13 Introduction The purpose of this paper is to discuss the Geico employees’ Total Rewards Program and its alignment to the advantages of total rewards programs in general that are noted in the literature. According to the Geico website, there are five benefits to their Total Rewards Program: Health & Well-Being, Education & Training, Finance & Retirement, Time off & Leave, and Family & Life. The first part of this paper will look at these five programs in-depth and explain how Geico intends to benefit its employees. This analysis will include an evaluation of the effectiveness of the communication of Geico’s total rewards program based on the website’s descriptions of the benefits and include two recommendations for improvement to the program and/or its communication practices. By assuming that there are two weaknesses to the current plan, this paper will provide two improvements for these weaknesses to make employees happier. The final half of the paper will match Geico’s program with data from the literature on the effectiveness and benefits of these types of programs and discuss any implications there may be for the Geico program. Determine which facets of the Geico total rewards program align with the five (5) top advantages of a total rewards program outlined in Chapter 2 of the textbook and discuss your reasoning.

...Organization of a book fair I have chosen to do my research paper on the organization of the book fair for a non-profit company in a major United States city. This book fair will take place in San Francisco, California. There are many non-profit organizations here in San Francisco that could use the help of a fundraiser. There are schools, health organizations, medical clinics, homeless shelters, and food banks to name a few. Successful planning and organizing a fundraiser will make this project successful. To begin the planning stage of this fundraiser, I will need to do much research. This is going to be a book fundraiser. Looking at cost effective ways to hold this fundraiser is crucial since the outcome is to raise money for a particular organization. I will first look at a venue. Is it less expensive to hold a fundraiser on the Internet or is it more cost efficient to hold it a location. Having a fundraiser on the Internet does not seem a personable to me. However, it might be more cost efficient. Holding a fundraiser at a physical location seems that it would be more successful. The advertising and promotion of a fundraiser are just as important. Getting the most exposure to the public will help with the success of my fundraiser. I will need to research to find out if advertising and promoting this book fundraiser is more or less expensive than with actual physical advertising. I am leaning more to the physical...

...self-sufficiency but problems to the new welfare reform system have occurred. Some believe that, "participation in a welfare-to-work program might create new problems for children by adding strains to family life or by exposing children to poor substitute care arrangements for policies that design welfare-to-work programs that pursue the dual goals of economic self-sufficiency for families and healthy development children.http://www.cyfernet.org/welfare/roleextprog/current.html. "Welfare policies aimed at improving family circumstances for both children and parents must not make the error of focusing solely on parents; if the intention is to enhance the immediate and long-term development of both generations within the family, then policies must differentiate between youth and their parents."http://www.cyfernet.org/welfare/roleextprog/four_themes.html. These issues have brought about numerous debates. These debates have focused on the welfare reform system. Pros and cons of this new system have been debated, focusing on the welfare of the child, the parent, the employer, and the taxpayer. This paper will analyze the welfare reform system. In my resource paper I will examine several areas of concern in the welfare reform system. First, as an overview, I will look at the Personal Responsibility & Work Opportunity Act. Second, I will look at the Welfare to Workfare program. I will then examine how welfare recipients with disabilities will be handled under this...

...“Consequences of Poverty in Lower Socioeconomic Families” Chris Caronna Sociology 351 Short Paper November 18, 2012 Socioeconomic status is a classification of one’s position in a modern system of inequality based on levels of education, occupational prestige, and income (Eshleman and Bulcroft, 149). It plays a large part in the dynamics of family life. In fact, it determines a family’s lifestyle and has many consequences related to what level one resides in. For instance, socioeconomic status affects one’s chance to live, socialization, availability of education, marriage, sexual behavior, type of food eaten (Eshleman and Bulcroft, 150). A family’s socioeconomic status also determines the level of poverty one resides. This short paper concentrates on the consequences of poverty among lower socioeconomic families. According to a study published by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2009, 12.3 percent of all persons living in the United States in 2006 lived below the poverty line compared to about ten percent when measuring families (Eshleman and Bulcroft, 165). Individual poverty rates are higher than family rates because of the number of children who are in families. The challenges of poverty family’s face are difficult to navigate. Whether its inadequate resources, living in dangerous neighborhoods, or unsecure working environments and wages. Poor families do not have the ability to escape these conditions and must adjust to them. Stress and reduced psychological well-being...

...are set, and the decision is made to go back to school, additional research and careful consideration is given in deciding what type of program to attend. There are basic considerations, including program and cost, but the future student should also consider that not all programs are created equal. Graduate study programs often have different objectives and focus (Kuther, PhD, 2013). It is the responsibility of the individual to ensure that the program of choice matches his or her desired learning preferences. I knew I wanted to be a nurse from the time I started college, and it did not take long working in the field to determine that I was meant for health care management. My BSN and management ability has enabled me to work my way up to a senior management position, as the Chief Nursing Officer, at a rural hospital. I believe that by obtaining the MSN/MHA dual degree, doors will continue to open in health care administration. For this reason, I have found my way back to school and I am a proud virtual student at University of Phoenix (UOPX). Through my life journey, I have worked hard to manage my demanding career while helping my wife raise a family and set a good example for our children. While I am traveling the path to my graduate degree, my goal is to succeed in making good grades and continue to manage my family and my career. In the long-term, I hope my decision to improve myself will reflect upon my children, and...

...to help the poor, so, why is poverty rising? Are the anti-poverty programs that are now in place not working? The Center on Budget reports that our anti-poverty efforts were effective in keeping millions of Americans out of poverty in the current economic crisis. Existing policies and new initiatives kept people from falling into poverty; these programs reduced the severity of poverty. TANF was created by the 1996 welfare reform law to replace AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children). Under the TANF structure, the federal government provides a block grant to the states, which use these funds to operate their own programs. States can use TANF dollars in ways designed to meet any of the four purposes set out in federal law, which are to: “(1) provide assistance to needy families so that children may be cared for in their own homes or in the homes of relatives; (2) end the dependence of needy parents on government benefits by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage; (3) prevent and reduce the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies and establish annual numerical goals for preventing and reducing the incidence of these pregnancies; and (4) encourage the formation and maintenance of two-parent families.” This paper will examine the TANF program from inception to determine how effective the program has performed. REVIEW OF LITERATURE TANF’s early years witnessed dramatic declines in the number of families receiving cash assistance, and a great increases in the share of...

...city, you have been asked to work with refugee children who have been relocated from central Nigeria to live with foster families in your city. The children are between the ages of 9 and 13, boys and girls. They were rescued from a refugee camp in Nigeria where conditions were very poor. People were cramped and slept in rudimentary shelters. Food was scarce, and disease was rampant. Prior to arriving in the camp, the children were exposed to brutal violence. They saw their families murdered, houses burned, and witnessed or experienced sexual assault. Some were also injured in the attacks on their villages. Utilize the Culturegrams database in the Argosy Online library, the Ethics and Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (2010), and your readings to write a paper addressing the following: Describe the psychological effects of violence that the children from Nigeria might be experiencing? Be sure to consider issues such as gender and age. Design an intervention program to address the children’s exposure to violence. Remember to consider individual, family, and community needs. Describe the elements you would incorporate into a prevention program designed to foster resilience in the children from Nigeria, as well as break the cycle of violence that we learned can occur for children exposed to violence. You may research existing programs that utilize best practices as we have learned in this course, or design your own program. Reflect on the debate...
