...treat others. Curley’s Wife, Crooks, and Candy are excluded because of gender, race, age, or disability. This bias results in these people feeling lonely and inferior. In Steinbeck’s novella, multiple characters experience alienation due to discrimination by other ranchers. Throughout the novella, Curley’s Wife is isolated from the male workers several times due to her gender. This is portrayed when the men in the bunkhouse argue with Curley about his wife, when they try to avoid Curley’s Wife because they view her as a nothing more than a distraction because they think her beauty is her only valuable characteristic. Carlson says, “Why’n’t you...

...The legal drinking age today is 21, an individual must be 21 years of age to purchase alcohol and consume it. Still there are numerous minors who are able to get alcohol and consume it as well. I believe the legal drinking age should be lowered to accommodate individuals 18 years and older. Many people will argue that the drinking age limit should remain 21 years of age, and to some that may sound better than thinking of younger people being able to drink legally. Numerous minors, aged 18-20, are still finding ways to get alcohol and are able to consume it at home or at parties that are not watched over. Some may believe that 18 is too young of an age to be able to purchase alcohol, but 18 year olds are able to sign up to go into the army. Being 18 years old is considered becoming an adult, you can join the army and give your life to protect your country at 18 years old, so I believe you should be able to enjoy an alcohol beverage as well, at that age. The maturity level in people between the ages 18-21 is irrelevant when it comes to alcohol. Someone who is 25 can be just as immature as someone who is 18 when alcohol is involved. You can’t assume everyone under the age of 21 is going to abuse alcohol and act out, because there are also grown women and men who are just as immature when they drink. We can also look at the fatalities caused by underage drunk drivers, but there are also plenty of fatalities cause by adult drunk drivers. My cousin was killed years ago, by a grown...

...Brian Basic Should the Drinking age be reduced? The drinking age goes way back in history. Drinking began to be considered a problem around the 1900’s. When the government decided to pass the 18th amendment in 1919 alcohol became prohibited throughout the United States. This amendment forced all alcohol underground. The crime rate started to rise drastically throughout the country. The crime rate rose because people were buying and selling alcohol illegally. As a result of all the problems evolved, in 1923 the 23rd amendment repealed the 18th amendment abolishing the banning of alcohol from the United States. That established the modern drinking age, but the age was not the same in all of the states. The states government had the freedom of being able to assign what they felt were a good age for people to start the consumption of alcohol. Most of the states chose the age of twenty-one, but several states allowed the purchase of beer to be at eighteen. "The political failure of general Prohibition meant that American adults would increasingly focus justifications for alcohol policy less on the perils of drunkenness and more on the tenuous concept that adults can drink properly but youths cannot or should not" (Males 190). This lead to much discussion over the drinking age and the debate will go on for years to come. Throughout this debate, it lead to the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984, which lowered the United States drinking age to eighteen. After this act was...

...Later Adulthood Development Report Adults that are faced with the transition between adulthood and later adulthood, reaching their “golden years”, are faced with social, physical and mental changes. These changes affect them in every area of their lives. Moving from adult to the category of “senior citizen”, can be a difficult transition for many people. The age of 65 has usually been cited as the dividing line between middle age and old age (Santrock, 2008). It is during this crucial age that people will begin to experience life changes, it is important to note that there are resources, tools that can be used to make this transition easier for both the client and the family. There is a very permanent stereotype that assumes that because a person is reaching older age, they are in both physical and metal decline. This is not necessarily true, as there are people that can live independently well into later adulthood, without ongoing medical care or supervision. Older adults will be subject to discrimination by others, especially in the workforce, they are deemed to be slower and with dwindling critical thinking capabilities, this stereotype perpetuates discrimination in the workforce. Aging adults can also fall victim to increased levels of crime. Others may take advantage of them, as they, along with children, are some of the most vulnerable in our community. There is another set of aging adults who are under difficult circumstance and do need extra help and assistance in...

...having the youngest median age. Finding quality care for your child during those vital, formative years is one of the biggest challenges you'll face as a parent. 90% of a child's brain develops before kindergarten. It's important to find a care giver who provides the loving, fun, interactive care their precious child's brain needs. Helping Hands Child Care has been formed to provide quality licensed daycare to families in Saskatoon, providing a safe and healthy environment for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years old to learn and grow. The small atmosphere of Helping Hands Child Care will provide a home-like, stable setting, which is crucial to children at this stage in their life. Caring for fewer children allows for more one on one attention than is typically possible in a center-based childcare facility. In Saskatchewan, only not-for-profit centres are eligible for public funding of any kind. There are usually no (or very few) for-profit centres. There is a large market for licensed home day cares, as there is a centre-based space available for only 10.5% of children aged 0-5 years and only a regulated space for only 7.2% of children aged 0-12 years in Saskatchewan. Canadian women are on a slippery slope. Although the majority of women with children are in the paid labour force in Canada (about 75% of mothers of three year olds), access to child care is limited and more-or-less static. There are child care spaces to cover less than 20% of 0-12 year olds and for families with...

...to be like their parents and sense they are adults, teens also want to feel like adults. A lot of adults and teens have depression and when they feel sad, smokers find cigarettes to "help" them go through their sadness. Not all people with depression smoke though. Take homeless people as an example. Smokers want to forget about their troubles and smoke weed or get drunk because homeless people think that getting high or drunk will make them happier. Sometimes, teens see their friends do it. Smoker’s friends are cool to them. Then teens will attempt to "fit in" with their friends. Most of the time, the most common cause is peer-pressure with others. Peer-pressure is when other person pressures someone to do something when the person says no. There are over 4,000 chemical compounds are created by burning a cigarette and at least 69 of those chemicals are known to cause cancer....

...types to drink, but also how to act when they drink by a process called socialization. Many experiments have been done and have proven that people in diverse cultures act differently when drunk. For instance, some cultures believe alcohol causes violence, so they often become violent; some think alcohol makes them feel romantic, so they often get sentimental; and still others assume that alcohol causes them to feel free, so they often open up emotionally. Social interaction, whether one realizes it or not, teaches us how to act when we are drunk. It has been said, “If behavior reflects expectations, then a society gets the drunks it deserves." Many factors of culture alone can completely shape the ways in which people act when they have been drinking. Race, gender, sex and age are just some of the factors that can alter the way people view drunken behavior. For my paper, I will show how age has a huge affect on drinking behavior. Do twenty-one year old adults and forty-one year old adults have the same motivation to drink? Do they act differently when they do get drunk? Through research and observation, I will show that age does have a huge impact on the way people act when they decide to consume too much alcohol. Jane, a twenty-one year old student, is an average woman who tries to spend time with her friends when she is not studying calculus or working at a local restaurant. She pays her monthly bills, walks the dog daily, babysits when she can, and volunteers for community...

...Ageism and the Elderly Decrepit, senile, over the hill, old fart or slow driver are often the words you hear when referring to “the elderly”. In 1969, Robert Butler, the first director of the National Institute on Aging was the first to use the term “ageism” to describe the stereotyping of people because of their age. The term ageism contains a negative bias or attitude toward the aging. This it a form of discrimination. While there is other ‘isms used in American society; sexism, or racism, ageism enables the younger generation to see older people differently, they may be seen as just old people who are no longer able to actively contribute to society. When is a person considered to be old or elderly? There was a time when you were required to retire at the age of 65. But with the economy and life span increasing people work until they cannot. There is no set age but society usually deems a person old when they are able to collect benefits like pensions, social security, medical care or discounted meals. The United States Census Bureau has estimated that the population of those over 65 will increase from 11.4 percent in 2000 to 20.7 percent in 2050. The baby boom generation, those born in the 1950’s will make up sixteen percent of the population in at least ten states by 2020. Some say that by the end of the twenty-first century life expectancy will exceed 100 years of age. Most people want to live a long life, but only if they are mentally and physically able to...

...studies of reactive attachment disorder which is a category of mental disorder attributed to a lack of early attachments. A longiudinal study of ex-institutional children was done by Hodges and Tizard in 1989, to investigate the effects of privation by following the same children over a long period of time to collect reliable information linking early experiences to later outcomes for the same individual. The participants were 65 children who had been placed in an instituation when they were less than 4 months old. There was an explicit policy in the institution against caregivers forming attachments with the children. This would suggest the children experienced early privation. By the age of 4, 24 of the institutionalized children had been adopted, 15 had returned to their natural homes and the rest remained in the institution. Assessment at the age of 8 and 16 years old involved interviewing those children who were adopted and those who had returned to their original homes. Their parents, their teachers and their peers were also interviewed. Data was also collected from a control group of ‘nomal’ peers. The findings show there were some differences between the adopted and the ‘restored’ children. The adopted children generally had close attachments to their parents and good family relationships, whereas this was much less true for the restored children. However, there was similarities in the behaviour of the adopted and restored children outside the family. For example, both...

...longer. Although John Rosemond had said, “the primary purpose of raising a child is to help that child get out of your life and into a life of its own,” it is proven that wealthier parents may create an easier living situation, involving less work for a for a young adult, which causes them to choose to stay living at home for a longer time period. When considering the reasons why an adult would return home after already leaving, or make the decision not to leave in the first place, it is important to recognize factors that have changed throughout history and time. In the past, a functionalist would argue that separation of youth from parents was a practical solution due to high rates of infant mortality and childhood illness; this led to nearly half of the population of children to die before the age of twenty. It was a necessity for parents to have many children, in order to ensure they would be supported in their old age. Parents in poorer families would often send their children to work for wealthier families, as this would allow them to avoid attachment and allow an opportunity for social mobility, in addition to the choice of occupation. When the industrial period began, production moved from home to factories, and fathers sent...

...the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) in America and the WHO (World Health Organization) because childhood obesity statistics show that obese children and especially those in the teenage years have a 70% chance of being obese as adults. What is worse is that percentage increases to 80% if either one or both of the parents are obese as well. This is a major concern because obesity is the cause of many major health concerns later in life. This does not only affect the person themselves, but those who love them and society in general as this causes health insurance to rise and eventually decreases the number of people who are fit to work, thus putting a strain on the economy. This article will present the results of research on obesity, and childhood obesity facts and obesity statistics. Childhood Obesity Statistics In 2004, there was a research report written about a study that lasted from 1999 to 2002 entitled "Prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents: United States" conducted by the CDC. According to that report "16 % children (over 9 million) 6-19 year olds are overweight or obese" this is three times what it was in 1980. In addition, this report brings out the fact that also during this same time period an additional 15% were "at risk of becoming overweight". Not only has this number tripled, but in the past three decades (according to this same study) obesity...

...problems. Loneliness is defined as an unbearable feeling of separateness (Mind infoline, 2012). Loneliness can cause feelings of anxiety, depression, being unloved, and insecurity. There are three basic degrees of loneliness which are, circumstantial, developmental, and internal. Circumstantial loneliness is caused from retiring, moving, losing a loved one; the list goes on and on. Some people retire and they want to be on their own, this is the case for Bonnie. She has always considered herself a loner and she is happy being by herself for several reasons. She likes her freedom, she does not like people telling her what to do, and she does not agree with how some people handle getting old. “They do not like to do stuff.. they just sit on their butts and wait to die.(Appendix B)” These are the people that loneliness takes a hold of and they just want to die, because they feel there is nothing left to do. Developmental loneliness is caused from being in a state of constant despair, and not fully being active in daily affairs. Some people develop loneliness because they do not have anything better to do. As long as the person is doing something they stand a better chance of not getting lonely. In some assisted living housing there are always things to do with the group wanting to go is a big issue with some people. They just seem to sit back and wait for death to come, which causes depression. In an interview (appendix C) Ms. Mina she mentioned that, “ I try to go to some of the activities...
