3 pages in length. As the baby boomers converge upon retirement age and beyond, they bring into focus just how inadequate the 'system' truly is in relation to health care and economic security. The burden of responsibility must fall somewhere if government programs are not capable of sustaining this larger than normal group of elderly; in this particular situation, adult children are being handed the weight whether they are prepared for it or not.

This figure, more than three times as many as was reported in 1980, reflects a disturbing trend toward uncontrolled acts of domestic violence.

Different Perspectives of Socialization within Society and The Development of the Concept of Self
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the different perspectives of socialization in society in relation to self-image and adaptation. Socialization for individuals within society takes place from different perspectives as members of society change their roles throughout their lives and must learn the different socialization tactics related to each new role they adopt. Children and adolescents learn from the failures and successes within the socialization process which helps them to adapt to new stressful situations in addition to developing their self-image. Success in the socialization process creates a positive self-image whereas failures in the socialization process may lead to negative self-image. In addition to members within society adapting to new roles, which also include joining organizational institutions which use a variety of socialization tactics for newcomers, people from other cultures also have to learn various tactics for socialization within their new society. Sociologists advocate that society has developed a great many inequalities in the divisions between groups which exist and depending on the success or failure of adaptation through socialization, newcomers in societies will also form concepts of their self-image which may or may not allow them to conform and cross societal divisions.
