Abstract
Each year approximately three million baby boomers turn 40. This is a time of introspection and re-evaluation of who the baby boomer is. This is the time of mid-life crisis and the American Dream. Most baby boomers went to college, got a successful job, married, had 2.5 children, and bought a house in the suburbs. Now they look at life and ask, "Is this all there is to life?" Many of these baby boomers are divorced, have quit their jobs, given up their home in the suburbs and find themselves in a mid-life crisis. It is the American Dream and the mid-life crisis that this paper will focus on. What is the mid-life crisis? Why has the American Dream failed for many? Why are the baby boomers finding themselves feeling unfulfilled in life? What does research show about mid-life crisis? Can mid-life crisis be considered an actual diagnosis for people suffering from mental anguish? What steps can the middle-age individual take to prevent the mid-crisis? How does this affect my worldview about those experiencing mid-life crisis? How does it relate to current news items on television? What are the ramifications of this research show in regards to mid-life crisis? As a counselor how will this research affect the way I might treat someone going through the mid-life crisis? How does this affect my viewpoint of my family, and perhaps my viewpoints of my family? Can I recognize how family members have suffered mid-life crisis and the effects of this in their life?

Baby Boomers, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Baby Boomer generation creates a medical problem, especially in the Medicare system, because of its size, potential of living so long, altered traditional family structures and a large segment, almost 20 percent, at the low end of the income scale; in addition, the generation after them is small. The author points out that seniors have no alternative but Medicare, which should be restructured to more closely resemble the rest of the nation's health care system especially PPOs (Preferred Provider Organizations). The paper recommends that, if institutions focused on decreasing the cost of each medical procedure and ceasing to carry out senseless, wasteful procedures; funds would be available for senior care plus wellness education and preventive care.

From the Paper
"There are several diametrically opposed factors involved in the future of health care for Baby Boomers, not least of which is the fact that the senior-oriented health care delivery systems were "geared for a time when people died early." In addition, Baby Boomers constituted the largest generation ever, to be subsidized-as have all generations been-by the ones behind them; the ones behind them are very small. They are expected to live longer than previous generations, partially because of the advances in medicine; however, there are already signs that the problem with the advances in medicine lies in the ability to find enough qualified people to run the machinery of medicine, the CAT scanners and whatever other advances appear. These two dichotomies would be problematical enough without the other troublesome possibility on the horizon, that of having to decided upon a practical and ethical way to deliver health care when there are not enough personnel to go around, nor enough funds to pay for equal treatment options for everyone."

Abstract
This paper is a research proposal for a project that will attempt to determine the relative importance of the aging of the baby boomer generation. The paper explains the three main issues concerning the aging baby boomer population that the project will address. These issues to be studied are the perceived cost of lost labor by the actual retirement of the baby boomers, what steps people entering the labor force today are taking to address this, the perceived national financial projections for overall benefit procurement for baby boomers according to their children, and perceived projected costs to individual families for care and assistance of those people retiring, today and over the next twenty to thirty years.
From the Paper
"The generation in America known as the baby boomers, born after WWII between roughly the years 1946 and 1964, is a significant part of the population today. Those individuals are aging, just as we all are and will within the next twenty plus years become a population of people in need of those services associated with aging. "In 2011, the oldest boomers will turn 65, retirement age. And for at least 20 years after that, we'll hear more than we want to hear abut their Medicare coverage and retirement finances. " (Williamson) Services that mainly consist of medical care and retirement benefits are costly and the generation of workers who are in their working prime today and who will be in the foreseeable future is a significantly smaller proportionate demographic than the baby boomers."

Abstract
The paper seeks to achieve a comprehensive understanding of baby boomers, with their possible effects on the health care system. The writer claims that this understanding can assist with the planning of future directions for care of the baby boomers as well as the rest of the American population. The paper provides a summary of historical information and does not yield empirical findings.
From the Paper
"State and federal funding currently account for 50% of health care costs. Some believe that Congress will provide health care for the entire population by 2004. Baby boomers want more than this essential care and search for alternatives that would provide optimal care (Binzberg & Minogiannis, 2000). The dissatisfactions and expectations of the baby boomers have been reflected by the changes in the healthcare system thus far. They are the largest buying population and are demanding more information and options. How this quality of health care will be provided, remains the current and future challenge."

Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Social Security is "a contributory social insurance program providing benefits to millions of Americans." (Ithaca College Gerontology Institute, 2007) Those who work contribute part of their earnings to the system and thereby gain entitlement to benefits for themselves and their family members when they retire become disabled, or when they die. Because of the large group of baby boomers who will be retirement age, projections for 2016 state that "annual benefits paid to retirees will exceed payroll tax revenues. Based on those intermediate assumptions, from 2016 to 2024, interest generated from the Trust Funds would be needed to meet current Social Security obligations.""

Abstract
This paper examines the impact that older workers are having upon the American economy. In particular, this paper focuses upon items such as aggregate demand, price floors (and price ceilings), government failure and market equilibrium because the arrival of the baby boomers into their chronological if not working dotage has greatly affected all of those things.
From the Paper
"As America's workforce grows older, the issue of caring for and hiring workers over the age of 45 has grown increasingly pertinent. The following paper will examine this phenomenon with an eye towards examining the impact upon businesses that employ individuals 45 years of age or older. In a related vein, the paper will take a close look at policy recommendations that may assist older workers in the American workforce. Along the way, a number of macro-economic terms - aggregate supply, market failure and equilibrium price - will be explicated inasmuch as understanding them allows us to understand the broader issue of middle-aged employees entering the workforce in record numbers."

From the Paper
"The so-called "baby boomers," one of the largest generational groupings in American history, are nearing the age when they will be able to collect Social Security benefits. When that happens, the ratio between those individuals contributing to Social Security and those receiving it will decline significantly. As a result, many have expressed concern about how Social Security can be funded over the long-term, and several different proposals have been made by politicians and economists alike."

From the Paper
" Biography is an art rather than a science, and it is influenced by the attitudes of the historian writing the biography, the limits of his or her knowledge of the subject, the evidence that has been amassed, and often by political considerations which might shape how a figure is depicted. Different pictures of a figure can emerge from different biographies for these and other reasons. Two biographies of Julius Caesar from the classical era show different views of the Roman leader, that of Plutarch in his Lives and of Suetonius in The Lives of the Twelve Caesars.
In the Roman era, much of Greek literature and culture was either adopted or held up as an example even though the Romans had a different worldview in many ways. The gods of Greece were carried over into the Roman pantheon, though the names and some.."

From the Paper
"Work and sweat produces conveniences so that men can do more, it is true. These conveniences do just as much good as they were intended to do. For example, helps men to feed their families. Farming does not always yield enough money for food so that all men can eat. Thus, these men must work in industrialized society so that they can have meals on their table. The fathers must work in the railroad so that their children can eat. No one can argue against that point. The conveniences also allow men to visit family and friends so that they may spend quality time with them. Instead of it taking years and years to have enough time to spend from the crops and household chores in order to make trips by foot or horse, man can visit as often as they wish because it takes less time to make such trips. Also, thanks to the train, entire families can go and can just as quickly return. Dangers associated with traveling across the wild and reckless land are almost removed. "

Abstract
Thich Nhat Hanh, author of the bestselling book, "Living Buddha, Living Christ", witnessed the persecution of Buddhists under the Catholic governments of South Vietnam and was also befriended by Christian leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Thomas Merton. This paper presents a report on his book in which he attempts to make clear the conjunction of beliefs between the religions of Christianity and Buddhism.
From the Paper
"Thich Nhat Hanh's ultimate message in this book is that true faith is living faith. If people do not practice their faith in their everyday lives, their faith is reduced to an inactive mental concept. The connections between Christianity and Buddhism are not as important as are the similar usages of things like the Holy Spirit and mindfulness. The idea Hanh puts forth is that both Buddhism and Christianity utilize concepts to reach the ultimate goal."

The Aging Baby Boom Generation, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that the aging baby boom generation, who are characterized by prevention and wellness values resulting in longer life expectancy, will have a significant effect on the number of elderly needing long-term healthcare services. The author stresses that the Medicare system does not provide protection against catastrophic or long-term events, many drugs and prevention services, all of which will be needed by the aging baby boom generation. The paper concludes that, along with the concern for this cohort, there is the continued need for the entire population--the rich and the poor, the young and the old--to have healthcare coverage; the social system may offer the most adequate solution.

"Baby boomers have redefined quality of care, demanding preventative measures for optimal health. This generation demands more service, more information, and more options. Since they are the largest buying population, they have changed the healthcare system and will continue to do so. Among the changes needed is improvement in long-term-care coverage. Private insurance for this coverage has increased but presents problems such as how to market a high-cost policy to those with little money. Public-private partnerships are another alternative. However, this type of assistance may end up raising Medicare costs without offering enough assistance to the public. Social insurance is also discussed. In this case the costs would be disbursed among the total population, including those 65 years and older."

Abstract
This paper examines how the baby boom generation, born between 1946 and 1964, is reported to be the largest generation in U.S. history. It looks at how this group is very diversified and characterized by their disease prevention and wellness values and how, as the group becomes older there are concerns for the future of healthcare. It analyzes how as the boomers become aged 85 and older, there will be a dramatic change in the numbers of elderly and needs for long-term care services. It looks at how the baby boomers were followed by a group with an exceptionally low birth rate and how as a result healthcare for the pending group of elderly boomers will be supported by a smaller population.

"The year 2010 will bring the time when the first baby boomers begin to turn age 65; by then one in five Americans will be over 65 (Friedman, p. 36). In 1990, the oldest baby boomers were 44 years old, and concerns for old age were upon them. Butler (1990) reports that this generation will need to take matters into their own hands if they are to end the fragmented health care system that currently exists. New alternatives need to be sought that include a single-payer approach rather than various prices for identical procedures and services, clinical autonomy and opportunity, collaboration within health-care providers, and goals that meet the needs of all Americans (p. 13). New principles need to include the whole being with its connection to the environment, empowerment which enables internal and external healing resources to be utilized, and views of all involved (Meleis, 1992, p. 117)."
