Abstract
The paper relates that an aggregate is a collection of elements that form a whole, while a community is a whole group of people, made up of many community groups, such as families, children, women and men. The paper explains that the aggregate constitutes those factors that impact that community. The paper discusses how these factors may include HIV/AIDS, heart disease, poverty or homelessness, for example, but in terms of aggregation, these factors are considered collectively (Daniels, 2006, p. 22). The paper notes that they do not necessarily consider the individual issues that may pertain to a person, but the group as a whole. Additionally, the paper notes that the aggregates for one community may be different in another community, which means that aggregates impacting community "A" will not be the same aggregates impacting community "B".

Abstract
The paper relates that an aggregate is defined as part of a whole, or all of the parts that comprise the whole ("Aggregate", n.d.). The paper explains that in relation to nursing, this would indicate that the aggregate is part of the population that is served by health care, as is indicated by the services that are provided through community health nursing. The paper notes that given this definition of aggregate, the community is then the whole that is considered in all aspects of health care, including all populations and groups that are served by the health care facility. The paper asserts that in modern society there are multiple groups that deserve a direct focus in relation to health care, but none that is more significant at the current time than the baby boomer generation.

Abstract
This paper explains that aggregate supply curves represent the aggregate supply, the total supply of goods and services produced within an economy at a given overall price level within a specified time period. Next, the author reviews the differences between the short run and long run aggregate supply curves, which are determined by the estimated productivity of factor inputs of land, labor and capital. The paper compares the classical model of economics. early Keynesian, neo-Keynesian and supply side school interpretations of aggregate supply, each with a different approach depending on the theory behind the interpretation.

Introduction
Short Run Aggregate Supply Curve
Long Run Aggregate Supply

From the Paper
"Different schools of thoughts have different views of economics and therefore they have different approaches towards the determining of aggregate supply of the economy that is to be made to the economy. Aggregates supply is the function of aggregate availability of labor and other resources in the given time period and the price levels for the production of those goods and services that provide the aggregate supply of those goods and services to the economy.
"The supply side of performance of the economy is the main determinant of the aggregate supply of the economy."

Abstract
This paper explains that Buddhism is a religious philosophy aiming to promote a life of self-denial leading to a state of "nirvana;" however, this state is not defined concretely, but rather an abstract concept experienced and felt by Buddhists. The author points out that the five aggregates of Buddhism, the components that make up human individuality existing within humans are rupa (aggregate of matter), vijnana (consciousness), vedana (aggregate of feeling and sensation), samjna (aggregate of perception), and samskara (aggregate of mental form and volition). The paper relates that the author is an individual, who, through Buddhism, is constantly in search of a personal philosophy that will give justice to the true essence and meaning of "self."

From the Paper
"Rupa is perhaps the most basic and tangible aggregate in Buddhism. This aggregate represents the physical manifestation of the human being's existence here on earth. Santina categorizes rupa as not only composed of the human being's body, "but also the material objects that surround us" (126). Specifically, rupa is best represented by the five sense organs of the human body. The inclusion of the sense organs of the body illustrate how the concept of rupa is not only perceived as a physical manifestation, but also the coordination of the elements composed within and outside the human body."

Abstract
The paper states that the economics theory of aggregate demand suggests AD is the measurement of the ability and willingness of people and firms to buy goods. The concept has been derived from Say's law which states that supply creates demand. The paper comments that this means that when there is enough supply people are motivated to purchase things for consumption; firms are more inclined to invest in more projects as the supply of goods and services are available at a cheaper price. The paper highlights that world components of aggregate demands such as prices, international relationships and political institutions all create interdependency and therefore it becomes difficult to actually segregate how certain components affect the others. The paper determines the relationship between financial institutions and aggregate demand and to what extent the quantity theory of money is relevant. The paper concludes that financial institutions are indirectly linked to AD. The quantity theory of money in turn is a good model for explaining the way AD operates in financial market.

From the Paper
"Having said that it, one can now analyze the relationship of financial institutions and AD. Financial institutions deals in resources rather than goods and services and factors like credit level determined by the government, interest rates, and the monetary policies greatly influence its performance. Furthermore, financial institutions operate on a different platform as it does not apply the empirical model of AD theory."

Abstract
The Five Aggregates in Buddhist philosophy, (1) material form or matter, (2) feeling or sensation, (3) perception, (4) mental formations or volition, and (5) consciousness, are seen as being at the root of our fractious nature and a major impediment to our progress as individuals striving for wholeness of being. This paper addresses the Buddhist wisdom concerning the Five Aggregates and the need we have as individuals to be able to see them for what they are: momentary reflections of our true selves, passing personality types that are often seen as being an entire identity but are truly only one aspect of ourselves emerging briefly and impermanently.

From the Paper
"The third aggregate, perception (sanna), is the factor responsible for noting the qualities of things and also accounts for recognition and memory. In other words, it is perception that recognizes special qualities such as colors, like red or yellow, in objects. Perception recognizes the objects themselves, such as a soft ball or a grapefruit, it distinguishes between the distinctive qualities of objects - the stitched hide of the soft ball or the rind of the grapefruit. In addition to physical qualities, perception also recognizes the qualities of a mental object. For example, when told to think of a basketball, it is perception which retrieves the mental object - the mental picture of a basketball - from memory along with all its varied detail. Perception therefore covers recognition of the full range of qualities which any object can have, both physical and mental."

Abstract
This paper looks at the effects aggregate supply and demand have had on the labor market dynamics between the U.S. and Europe, with a special focus placed on Germany. The overriding conclusion of the study is that we should be wary of touting the strength of the U.S. against its European competitors. Historical evidence clearly shows that unemployment rates in the US have only been lower for the past 15 years, and even then not consistently. We may now have approached a stage where trends in aggregate supply and demand will again begin to favor European countries.

Abstract
The paper presents two short papers that address the concerns of community and aggregate populations within the health care system and the importance of the primary level of prevention in health care in relation to family violence.

From the Paper
"There are multiple subgroups within a population. An aggregate is a subpopulation that consists of individuals who share one or more common traits (Clark, 2008, p.4). These individuals may or may not know or interact with each other. A community, in contrast, is a group of people "who share common interests, who interact with each other, and who function collectively within a defined social structure to address common concerns" (Clark, 2008, p.5). People might come together in a community based on location, similar identities, and/or other shared interests (Clark, 2008, p.5)."

Abstract
This paper explores the standardized means of measurement which covers the scope of the output of an entire nation. The author examines this highly intricate and complex process that requires a widely known and accepted method of aggregation. In measuring the aggregate output of the economy of the United States of America, this accepted method is known as Gross Domestic Product, or GDP.

From the Paper
A simplified definition of GDP could be determined as "the market value for all final goods and services produced within a nation in a given time period" (Gross Domestic Product Page). This measurement of national productivity is calculated both quarterly and annually in America by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, a division of the U.S. Department of Commerce, according to a standardized process of measurement that utilizes various data sources and price indexes, most notably the widely accepted Consumer Price Index, or CPI (Eldridge PG).

Abstract
This paper discusses Keynesian macroeconomic theory by examining the concept of aggregate demand and whether or not full employment is attainable under this regime. Keynesian supporters claim that Keynes is the founding father of macroeconomic thought. The paper shows that some economists, however, have criticized Keynes's Principle of Aggregate Demand by suggesting that it does not work under democracy.

From the Paper
"According to economists alike, the study of economic thought and principles is a social science which examines how governments allocate scarce resources by measuring and analyzing key economic indicators including production, distribution, consumption of goods and services (i.e. GDP), and trade. When attempting to explain the economic outcome, whether it is positive or negative, various assumptions and observations are made to justify fiscal and monetary decisions, as well as normative when government intervention is required. At the turn of the 20th Century, the global economic system crumbled as a result of decreased production."
