...Edelquine Mandzo EL 104-23686 Prof. James Murray 12/02/13 EL 104 writing assignment. TWO JOBS I HAVE HELD: BABYSITTING AND HOME HEALTH CARE. Caring for the sick or the young and healthy can always be so challenging. To care for someone is the ability to take out time from your life on a daily basis to help improve the person’s life. Taking care of people always involves caring for the whole person, being able to enter the person’s feelings, being compassionate, and being respectful as well, no matter how old the person is. Babysitting and home health care both involves giving care to people in different ways and in different places as well. These are two jobs I have done and currently, I am still working as a home health aide. These two jobs share many similarities for instance; care is given in the individual’s home, and both need the attention of the person giving care. However, these two jobs have very significant differences with the individuals being taken care of and the job description of each job. One difference between babysitting and home health involves the individuals being catered for. While there is no particular name use to address kids on the babysitting job, but the use of their names, people taken care of at a home health care job are referred to as clients. Usually, babysitting involves caring for children who are mostly between zero and 13 years of age, while, home health care mostly involves people within any age limit...

...Comparing Job Descriptions 8/18/2012 In writing a job description, it is important for the job description to be clear and specific. In comparing different job descriptions, you will notice the differences. If a clear meaning is not shown, the employee will not have a clear understanding what is expected of them. I compared two job descriptions, and this is what I came up with. In Managing Human Resources (Snell, Bohlander 2013 pg.153) job descriptions should have the job title and location section, a jobs identification section, and a job duties section. Both, job descriptions did include this information, but the title headings were labeled differently. In the identification section, the job of retail manager, listed online, lacked the information of who the employee reports to and the date the information was last revised. There is no way of knowing if the information is up to date, as job duties tend to change in the ever changing business industry. In the Employment Assistant job description there is two sections, one titled “job statement” and the other titled “essential functions” (Snell, Bohlander 2013 pg. 154) that list the job duties, functions, and responsibilities. There is much more of a description listed of what is to be expected of the employee on this job description. On the retail store manager description it is titled “your role” (Lifetouch Portrait Studios, Inc.), and it contains much less information...

...discrimination. Unexpected result was about gender discrimination which is the least likely in the EU but the evidence indicates that sex discrimination remains a possible explanation of the unexplained gender pay gap between men and women. Key words: labor market, discrimination, women, skin color, sexual orientation. JEL: J71 Introduction It’s all about the money, isn’t it nowadays? We need to buy our food, pay our bills and educate our children. Money is the “necessity bad” today. But even in our modern, global, without barriers world, world in which they teach us that everything is possible, there is still big inequity. The chance for some people to achieve job and to feed their families is much lower than to the others. Even nowadays not only dream and ambitions are enough. When it comes for having a job and building career there is also comes the problem with discrimination in the labor market. This topic is one of the most difficult for researches and usually is hard to be proved that this still exists nowadays. In the following paper we will discuss discrimination in the labor market in different countries and areas. Some nations are more tolerant than the others. Some nations are more acceptable to one type of different people, than the other. To show how different nations act in different discrimination cases is the main subject of this paper. We think that this topic is very important nowadays, because of the globalization and opportunities which exists in the...

...Healthy Grieving: A Comparative Analysis Introduction To compare and contrast the grieving process as defined by Kübler-Ross with the Bible story of Job can be a beneficial study. By comparing these processes and also other religion's grieving processes, such as those in Judaism, and by looking at the relationship between ones joy and the grieving models discussed we can better understand human emotion and Gods expectations. By reviewing these methods and comparing them with my own grieving method my views have been altered, perhaps it will make a difference in yours as well. Grieving process Grieving is a healthy reaction to loss. God made people to have emotions, and it’s perfectly expectable for us to grieve when we are sad. Exercising our emotions is healthy. Those who bottle up their feelings can make their grief seem unbearable. Kubler-Ross attempts to break down the stages of grief to help us expect what we might feel or what others might feel when they go through loss. Kübler-Ross ' The five stages that Kubler-Ross sets before us are; denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance were first published in her seminal book On Death & Dying in 1969. These 5 stages were posed to help people understand grief and what we as humans go though when we face hard times such as sickness and death. Denial is the person simply refusing to believe the bad news. Anger is when we get upset over the circumstances set before us. Bargaining is trying to make a deal with...

...Chapter 10: Comparing Two Groups Bivariate Analysis: Methods for comparing two groups are special cases of bivariate statistical methods – Two variables exist: Response variable – outcome variable on which comparisons are made Explanatory variable – binary variable that specifies the groups Statistical methods analyze how the outcome on the response variable depends on or is explained by the value of the explanatory variable Independent Samples: Most comparisons of groups use independent samples from the groups, The observations in one sample are independent of those in the other sample Example: Randomized experiments that randomly allocate subjects to two treatments Example: An observational study that separates subjects into groups according to their value for an explanatory variable Dependent samples: Dependent samples result when the data are matched pairs – each subject in one sample is matched with a subject in the other sample Example: set of married couples, the men being in one sample and the women in the other. Example: Each subject is observed at two times, so the two samples have the same subject Categorical response variable: For a categorical response variable - Inferences compare groups in terms of their population proportions in a particular category - We can compare the groups by the difference in their population proportions: (p1 – p2) Example: Experiment: Subjects were 22,071 male physicians Every other day for five years, study participants...

...thus comparing the means of more than one group allows one to weigh options. Once a choice has been made and one must be chosen between two or more that have a correlating relationship, it is important to understand how to calculate the correlation between the variable. The steps in testing a research hypothesis Hypotheses in research are predictions of the outcome of the study. Theories and research questions help form a research hypothesis. Hypotheses are meant to be tested and in order to test a research hypothesis, there is a set of five steps to follow to do so. Step one is to make an assumption that should include the level of measurement of the variable, the sampling method, shape of population distribution, and the sample size. In step two we need to state the interest of the relationship and start the research, create a hypothesis that contradicts the null hypothesis, and set the alpha which will help determine the probability of an error. Step three is where the sampling distribution method is selected. This is where the test statistics are specified. In step four, we compute the test statistic by using a formula and coming to a result. The final step, step five, is where a decision is made and the results are interpreted. If the result is greater than the alpha level set in step two, we can assume the null hypothesis is false and will be rejected. (McClave, 2011) Comparing the means of two or more groups There are many experiments in which comparing the means...

...argue about one of the most important functions of it, preparation for labor market. Each year, new workforces enter the labor market. Most of them just finished from education system and have no job experience. On the other side, companies prefer employees who already have some related job experience, so youth people are seen as second choice. According to World Bank, in 2012 where high-income OECD countries faced 5.7 percent unemployment rate, the unemployment rate of labor below 25 year olds was double at 18.3 percent. The difference between two indicators remains around double throughout the decade. Moreover, the problem of youth unemployment especially with high unemployment rate such as Spain where half of those below 25 year olds cannot find jobs. From these statistics we can say that youth European have the problem. However, vocational education can help them. With the idea of learning to working, vocational student have internship experience with companies since they were in school. So, they can easily adapt to new work place (1st). Since vocational student learn on skill-based curriculums, however, many argues that they will relatively harder to adapt to new change comparing to general student who learned concept-based curriculum. This seems to be the trade-off between two tracks of education. In this work, I will investigate which system, vocational or general education,...

...change. I had to make a decision to stay at my present employer, or switch careers to a different company. The reasoning behind a possible career change was because the present owner of the apartment complex has sold the company to a much larger company that is taking over at the end of August, beginning of September. Decision Process The decision process in this scenario was very difficult because I actually enjoy my job as an assistant property manager for an apartment complex. The first part of my process was, which company paid more. After I learned that my current job paid more, I went to the decision of the medical and dental benefits. My present employer did not have a good benefits package, but once the new company takes over the benefits will be well worth the low amount of money taken from my paychecks bi-weekly. The other job I was considering had a good medical and dental plan, but it was almost twice the amount than my present employment. After processing these two crucial decisions, I already had my mind made up but decided in the process to consider two more aspect. That first aspect was the distance between my house and the employers because gas prices seem to keep rising than falling for a short time. My present employer was closer distance than the potential employer. Last in my decision process, I looked at possible promotions within the company. Again, my present employer offered more career success than the other position. So after I carefully inspected each...

...Unit 4 – Hypothesis Testing & Variance Abstract There are two tests that are preformed following a two-tailed hypothesis test, using a .05 significance level. The first test is intrinsic by gender and the second is extrinsic variable by position type. This section will be taking a closer look at intrinsic satisfaction by gender and extrinsic satisfaction by position. Separate hypothesis test will be performed on both variances with the outcomes. Hypothesis Test #1 Looking at Intrinsic Satisfaction by Gender H0:Males= μ Females H1:Males= μ Females ∝ = .05 Significance level: 0.05 T statistic: 2.05 Critical T values: -1.98 and 1.98 P value: 0.04 Since the test statistics of 2.05 is greater than critical value of 1.98 we reject to reject the Ho. The decision made for the intrinsic job satisfaction survey, which intrinsic is when one does it for one’s satisfaction. The data says that it does not support the intrinsic Ho. The p value is less than the alpha. Managers for this business could use this information specifically to help drive the motivation of their employees. This information could show value in the growth of the company with having employees that enjoy their job and complete for their own satisfaction not for reasons such as outside rewards could say a lot about working for this company. If employees first enjoy their job this could mean greatness for the company, employees will strive to better the company and their self-worth...

...potential confounding factor? A confounding factor is an important difference between the two groups you are comparing, other then the one you’re primarily interested in. With regards to this question, there would most likely be two groups involved in the experimental study: the control group and the treatment group. The control group would receive a placebo while the treatment group was administered the drug. Because the sponsoring pharmaceutical most likely has a personal interest in the success of the drug, and hence a desirable effect from the treatment group. The confounding factor may be how and who the participants were chosen for the study. People who may be interested in being a part of the study may have a pre-existing condition that the drug will help. In other words, a drug company is not going to have a clot-relieving drug tested on people with no pre-existing clot issue as the drug would not be isolating the issue it is intended to mediate. Yes, the relationship of the sponsor (pharmaceutical company) to the study is a confounding factor and inherently causes bias and inaccuracies within the study. 13. Below are some data from 2005 for on-the-job deaths in dangerous jobs. Which job seems the most dangerous? Which seems the least dangerous? Explain. Fishers and fishing workers appear to be the most dangerous with a percentage of .118% death from the total employed.

...Sometimes in society it feels as if we are pressured to feel or act a certain way by the government and that we are not in control of ourselves, but they are. The two novels Brave New World and 1984 are both good examples of complete government control but when comparing the two it is evident that the governments have different views on the control of sex and morality. In the novel Brave New World it is obvious that the government is in complete control of its society. Within this government it control the thoughts, actions and fate of all citizens starting from before the human is even born. "We also predestine and condition. We decant our babies and socialized human beings, as Alphas or Epsilons, as future sewer Workers or future...He was going to say future World Controllers, but correcting himself, said Future Directors of Hatcheries instead" By stating this, the impression is given that the government has ultimate plans for every human, they choose those plans and abide by them for their own benefit. From even before a child is born they are categorized and have a job chosen for them. By choosing these jobs the government in the long run is also controlling the future of their society and their hope was to have many World Controllers also known as Future Directors of Hatcheries, which is a job that will continue the idea of ultimate control. Similarly, in the novel 1984 the government also attempts to have complete control of the minds and bodies of its citizens. One...
