...(TITLE PAGE) Abstract: Like the rest of the world, the US is an ageing society (CITE SOMETHING). Between 2000 and 2050, the number of older people is projected to increase by 135% (CITE SOMETHING). Moreover, the population aged 85 and over, which is the group most likely to need health and long-term care services, is projected to increase by 350% (CITE SOMETHING). Over this time period, the proportion of the population that is over the age of 65 will increase from 12.7% in 2000 to 20.3% in 2050; the proportion of the population that is age 85 and older will increase from 1.6% in 2000 to 4.8% in 2050 (CITE SOMETHING). (WRITE 3-4 MORE SENTENCES DESCRIBING THE PAPER) Introduction: There are two points that are noteworthy about this demographic change. First, while a significant proportion of the US is elderly, much of Europe already has a higher proportion of its population that is over the age of 65 (CITE SOMETHING). For example, in 2000, 16.0% of the population in the UK and 16.4% of the population of Germany was over the age of 65. Thus, other countries already have to cope with the impact of an ageing society to a greater extent than the US (CITE SOMETHING). Largely as a result of higher fertility rates and immigration, America’s population, while ageing, is nonetheless likely to remain distinctly younger than other developed countries (CITE SOMETHING). Second, the future strains of population ageing in the US derive not so much from the growth in the elderly population...

...When i heard about the assignment, i couldnt believe that it was actually true. i thought that my friend was just joking and laughed so hard of how crazy an assignment like that was. Apparently, she was really telling the truth and from that moment, i kind of froze. i asked her what we should do. i felt really scared about the assignment and i dont know how i would do it alone. when im done asking questions about it to my classmates, i keep on complaining about it for every person i met, to my classmates in finance, to the people who are done in socio 111 , to those people who have the knowledge or experienced in buying this thing, and most especially to my mom and dad. i was telling them what and how should i do it without feeling awkward and is it allowed for us young people to buy this kind of things? and ofcourse i know the answer was yes, but i was just really over reacting that time that if only i could pay someone to buy for me, then i will do it. well, they kinda gave advices but all were just forgotten because at the end of the conversation, i should do it alone, to make the activity succesful and meaningful. tuesday, october 8, 2013, was the day that i had the courage to get the assignment done. so, at around 8 in the evening, i went to the convenience store to buy a condom. i was very uneasy during that moment. i had mixed emotions. i was shaking, i was very tired because it was already late, and still i have a lot to do at home. assignments, quizzes, examinations...

...called the reason I got into this business. That and the fairly simple job requirements. When I was getting out of the Army a fairly grey~area opportunity was presented to me. I was looking to secure my future and point my life in the right direction. The guy next to me in the mandatoy class we all had to go theough to end our contacts told me about his wife. I hadnt met her but her story had inspired my corrupt and eager mind. This woman* laura* had gotten into hospice care. For those of you unfamiliar with the field* generally hospice deals with terminally ill and very elderly patients. At that point which was about two years into her contract* she had been left a several thousand dollars* a BMW* and a the bedroom two bathroom HOUSE on the emerald coast. It was mindblowing. So manyu families just give up near the end and the one the patient cares about is the one who seems to care. I dont know Lauras motives. Nobody goes into this soul wrenching practice hoping to make some easy money. Nobody but me. Every Day I put on my plain white uniform and go to work as a sort of bouncer. I dont work at a ritzy night club or private security. The government signs my checks. I dont kick rich kids out of bars. I am often tasked to make sure our clients DONT leave. Hired muscle and a pretty face. Fouty two minutes. I might not have time to get to the gas station to take my morning redbull dosage. This is going to be a long day. This is how they fuck you.

...The phrase 'i do' seem to be misunderstood by many, some feel its only connected to relationship, but unknown to them that is wrong, because in life we daily make decisions that are either wrong or right. Am not saying marriage is excluded but my pioint is that it is not just about you getting hooked to someone but it concerns your entire lfe . In life we make lot od decisions. Some make them out of fear and anxiety, some out of circumstances surrounding them, some out of familys advice or even friends etc. While some make decisions actually from the lords counsel, persnal view and so many too numerous to mention. Therefore i saw it important to write on this subject matter i tittled 'BEFORE I SAY I DO'. What are the thoughts that flies through our mind when we are about to make decisions, do we really seek the lords idea or we just heard some fake voice from friends, family members or even our personal view and ooops we take the bold step. And when we fail we either feel depress or put the blame on whoever gave us their opinion. This accusation could be eliminated only if we obey some vital principles am about to list down which will be able to lead us into our desire, sustain us there and make us avoid mistakes as we go on with our lives. First, we talk about four(4) vital questions that we ask our selves befor saying the hrase 'i do' to any area of life weather marriage, career or anything at all, in as much it has to do with making of decisions. These questions include; ...

...person like me doesnt know how to add things up, or look at things the way others would. Im simple in that im not concerned. Ive never cared about how I look or how I carry myself. I know my strenghts and ive lived by them since the beginning of time. Ive never really given looks a second thought. And the thing this adjustement does, is make you think about all the things you thought unnecessary. You cant really go to someplace for the first place looking lost or drunk or raw. People want glam. People want dressy. People want catchy. Dont give them that, they wont give you a second thought. Its stupid how this works but it does. It works exactly like this. So I could go to university someday straight from bed and people wont know I exist. The other day i'll dress up like a diva and BOOM! Im the hot topic. But I can live on without being concerned. I can live on without creating an impression. I dont care for it. I care for work. I care for capability and ability. I care for the non material things people have to offer. That is where im different, because people now adays, they just cant do this. They cant bear looking average. Everyone wants to steal the lime light, to get glory, be hailed and admired. The shortcut is 'look good'. If they dont have these looks, they create them! They'll pull off a nicely crafted attitude. And they'll work their arse off to get noticed. But is it worth it? Ive seen girls dying to be noticed by that really hot guy in class. Ive...

... Scene I - The sifting room of a small London flat. (There are two chairs by a coffee table, and a few books scattered around. The other items in the room - clock, vacuum cleaner, television etc - are old, tatty and cheap. Dennis is sitting flicking through a book. To stage-right is the front door of the flat, leading to the communal corridor. Archie enters stage-right, in the corridor, paces for a moment, and then stops outside the door of the flat. He takes a breath, lifts his hand, and knocks. Dennis looks up, evidently not expecting anyone. He puts his book down and answers the door.) Archie: (Quickly, nervously) Hello! Dennis: Hi. (Beat) Yes? Archie: Erm... I think... I better come in. Dennis: Why? Archie: I just... ought to. It’s important, really. May I? Dennis: Erm I... 0k. (They walk into the flat.) Archie: Oh.

...For me, writing is frustrating. Many times I have trouble writing about anything. The main reason why I have so much trouble when writing, is because I don't concentrate on my work enough. Even when I try my hardest to concentrate, my mind seems to wonder around to a different direction towards another thought. After that, I forget all about my work and just think about various things such as people, places, and different times I've had in the past. For example, even while I'm writing this small paragraph, my mind keeps on slipping into other thoughts. I dont know if this happens to lots of people, but this is one problem that I have trouble the most in. Maybe this is why I'm a slow writer and don't like to write. When I write, I'm usually in my house sitting right where my computer is. One thing about me is that I hate writing anything with a pen and a paper. Most of the time when writing an essay, report, or anything else, I type it on my computer. I can probably type 50 times faster than writing by hand. I guess it's just something that I'm better at. I can type about 80-85 words per minute. If that isn't fast, then I dont know what is. When writing, I can write when it's quiet, loud, during the day, during the night, and during whatever atmosphere I'm in. Even if the whole house is quiet, I usually listen to music while typing an essay. However, the best time and the best atmosphere for me to write anything would be during...

I was with my cousins and my sister going to michigan adventures the second time in my life. The first time I was only 8 so i couldn't even go on all the good rides, but this time I was 11 and could go on way more rides this time which rocked. I looked at the ride again as we finished parking and nervousness ran up my body like a elevator “Was I brave enough to go to the ride?” I thought to myself.... When we got done parking, we entered out the doors of our car and started our way to the entrance. Midway there I told my cousins and my sister “Im probably not gonna go on the ride…. Shivering...
