Elder Abuse in America
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the fact that the majority of the population is aware that there is a serious problem in America with child abuse but few understand how much of a problem also exists related to elder abuse. In fact “some five percent of the Nation's elderly may be the victims of abuse from moderate to severe... or more than 1.5 million elderly may be victims of such abuse each year.” That number is all the more problematic due to the hidden and complex nature of the problem. Older Americans often live in some degree of isolation, whether in their own homes, the homes of adult children or institutions. Detection by people outside the family or the facility is much more unlikely and the occurrence of elder abuse is suspected to be remarkably under-reported. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Elder Abuse In Community Facilities
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Providing daily care for those who have lost their physical or mental capacities - and often both at the same time - is a tremendous drain on the caretaker's emotional well being. People who work with the elderly in assisted living facilities, nursing homes, daycare facilities and institutions are met with daily challenges that can frustrate, irritate and downright antagonize the caregiver; however, while being a very taxing profession day in and day out, no amount of dissatisfaction should ever equate to abuse.

Emancipation Of Children
[ send me this paper ]
A 25 page paper discussing the liberation of children from their parents' control. The emancipation of children from the control of their parents has been an issue in this country for years. Twenty years ago, adults were nearly at a loss for any sense of control over the actions of their teenage children. Though many of the more radical measures have since been neutralized, parents are still at risk if they impose any measure of forced control over their dependent children who are approaching the age of majority. There are also those who believe that the age of majority should be lowered from 18 to 16, along with applicable child labor laws so that those between the ages of 16 and 18 can be employed in a manner in which they can support themselves and so be fully independent of their parents should they choose to do so.
