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
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.
This paper discusses the health care problems of the Baby Boomer generation, born between 1946 and 1964, who in 2030 will be at least 65 years old.

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."

Shaken Baby Syndrome, 2006.
This paper discusses infant health, specifically shaken baby syndrome.

Abstract
This paper discusses shaken baby syndrome (SBS) including what type of person would cause it and what mental issues they might have. It also looks at the possible consequences to the baby and what people can do to prevent this syndrome. The paper explains that shaken baby syndrome is a serious form of child abuse and a growing problem in America today. The paper highlights how understanding some of the characteristics of the abuser can help social workers and healthcare professionals to identify potential abusers. The paper concludes that professionals and families working together can recognize and prevent shaken baby syndrome and thereby save the lives of innocent and defenseless children.
From the Paper
"The syndrome is extremely dangerous because the size of the attacker greatly outweighs the size of the victim, which means they can inflict serious damage very quickly, and that medical personnel can overlook it if they are not careful. One author gives a graphic illustration of the danger of this abuse. He writes, "To give you some sense of proportion about how violent this shaking is, research now shows that a child falling from a third-story window has about a 1 percent chance of dying while in SBS there is a 25 percent risk of death (Parker, 2004). However, many experts see the syndrome as mostly an accident by parents or caregivers, who do not have a sense of how hard they are really shaking the child, and/or do not understand how much harm they can do."

Discusses the controversy surrounding Nestle's marketing of baby formula to Third World countries.

Abstract
This paper explores the initial controversy caused by Nestle Company and other multinational companies' marketing of baby formula to impoverished nations. The paper looks at the pamphlet, "The Baby Killer", which raised public awareness about the problem of how the baby formula was being marketed and the resulting infant deaths and looks at Nestle's response to the pamphlet. The paper also examines the consequences of the pamphlet in terms of how private voluntary organizations and international agencies have subsequently been able to influence the way companies do business in Third World nations, as well as the continuing controversy concerning predatory marketing in Third World countries.
From the Paper
"The story of the Nestle Baby Formula Controversy begins almost three decades ago with the publication of a pamphlet called ?The Baby Killer? in 1974 by Mike Muller and War on Want, a London-based activist group concerned with problems of the Third World (Akhter 1994). The pamphlet claimed that Third World babies were dying because their mothers were feeding them infant formula that was being marketed by multinationals such a Nestle of Switzerland and United Kingdom?s Cow and Gate (Akhter 1994). The aftermath of the publication led to an international crisis for Nestle."

B. F. Skinner's Baby Box, 2008.
This paper discusses the baby box B.F. Skinner used for his infant daughter.

Abstract
This paper discusses B.F. Skinner's baby box and the controversy surrounding the use of the invention. The paper first explains that the primary purpose of the box was to keep Skinner's baby daughter warm, safe and comfortable. The paper then discusses the arguments in favor of using the box as well as the arguments opposed to its use. The paper also includes the writer's personal opinion about using the baby box.
From the Paper
"When B. F. Skinner built his 'baby box' it worked very well, but a lot of people were concerned that it was a 'cage' in which to keep his child. Some of this undoubtedly came from the fact that Skinner was a serious proponent of operant conditioning, where he taught a rat to pull a lever in a box in order to be given food. Naturally, this was extended to the belief that he was doing the same thing with his infant daughter - putting her in a cage and requiring her to perform certain actions in order to be given food and other necessities. Of course, this was not true, but it did not stop people from saying it."

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)."

Abstract
On March 1, 1932, Charles Lindbergh, Jr., baby of the famous aviator Charles Lindbergh was kidnapped. The paper examines whether Bruno Richard Hauptmann did actually kidnap the Lindbergh baby and, if not, who did? The paper discusses some reasons why he might not have kidnapped him. These include the lack of sufficient evidence to prove him guilty and the anti-German sentiments during this time in history.
From the Paper
?The nation, along with the world, was shocked and deeply saddened to hear this news. Many wondered why someone would take the Lindbergh?s baby and wanted to find the kidnapper and see him put to justice. On September 19, 1934, Bruno Richard Hauptmann was arrested after supposedly using part of the ransom money to make a purchase at a gas station. After six weeks in trial for what was later known as ?The Crime of the Century,? on February 14, 1935, Hauptmann was found guilty and sentenced to death (Linder, ?The Hauptmann??). Today, many people believe, as did many at the time of his execution, that he was innocent. Hauptmann was offered life imprisonment if he would confess to the crime, but he claimed he was innocent, even until he was executed (?The Lindbergh?Intrigue?). Some people say only an innocent man would not confess to save his life (?The Lindbergh Case?Intrigue?). Careless police work carried out on the scene of the crime caused the loss of what could have been significant evidence. Because of the loss of this evidence there is no way to lawfully sentence a suspect without having some feeling of xenophobia in the court. Therefore, Hauptmann was found guilty more because of anti-German sentiments in the interwar period than for legitimate standard of proof even when circumstantial evidence abounded in the court?s decision."

Abstract
This paper outlines the post-Word War II lifestyle of American families, the conditions that resulted in the Baby Boom, the trials and tribulations of the average baby boomer over the course of their adolescence, the hippie movement, and the impending Social Security issue.
From the Paper
"World War II and the Great Depression greatly impacted the average American's life. While battling for a world free from Nazism and struggling to make ends meet during the most significant economic recession in American history, libido met its match in the United States. During the high tension 1940s, cathedrals and cradles were left empty as marriage and birth rates plummeted. Man's sense of inadequacy in supporting his family during the Depression left him just as inadequate in the bedroom. His disappointment in society left him and his spouse reluctant to bring a child into a world overrun by Nazism and Communism. Fortunately, a burst of confidence came after the war, and in 1946 birth rates skyrocketed. In the eighteen years after World War II, more than 78 million children were born, creating a new generation that greatly impacted American society and culture - a group called the Baby Boomers."

Impact of Aging Baby Boomers on Future Health Care, 2002.
This paper explores existing literature, including peer-review journals and professional publications, regarding the impact of aging baby boomers on future health care.
9,885 words (approx. 39.5 pages), 46 sources, MLA, $ 200.95
»

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."

Desiree's Baby, 2007.
This paper examines the work 'Desiree's Baby' by Kate Chopin.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that Kate Chopin's short story 'Desiree's Baby' investigates both racial otherness and gender differences. The writer points out that the plot of the story, having as its climax point the discovery of the traces of black genealogy in Desiree's baby, seems to focus on racism primarily. However, the writer discusses that looking at the story from a different angle, one can say that the gender conflict plays an even more important part in the structure of the story. The writer concludes that Chopin draws a very powerful image of the patriarchal society specific to her time, but still lingering in the present, in which only the man has the power to act in which the woman is nothing more than her social role, and this role she has to perform with a null identity so as the man might assert his own identity.
From the Paper
"However, even at first glance Armand seems to prove that he can fight prejudice and cross over such social barriers as the lack of a noble name, his attitude here is actual the first sign of male possessiveness and aggressive dominance over the woman: he will give Desiree his own proud name, and in the act Desiree will become one of his valuable pieces of property."
"The fact that Armand treats Desiree as a piece of property and an accessory to his estate and to his old name is reinstated when the baby is born and he proves to be a male, and which significantly contributes to the father's masculine pride."

Abstract
This paper begins with a summary of the plot of "Desiree's Baby" and then provides an analysis of the story's main characters and its theme. The paper describes how "Desiree's Baby" sends a message that judging another human being based on his or her skin color is completely immoral and unjustified.
From the Paper
"Kate Chopin?s short story, ?Desiree?s Baby,? begins by explaining how Desiree comes to live with Monsieur and Madame Valmonde?Monsieur Valmonde finds her as a child sleeping on his property, and he and his wife decide to raise her. When Desiree grows up, Armand Aubigny falls in love with her, and despite Monsieur Valmonde?s warnings that Desiree?s origins are unknown, Armand marries her and they have a baby boy. At first, they are both extremely proud and happy, and Armand even treats his Negro slaves kindly because he is in such a joyful state of mind. However, Armand?s manner changes when the baby is three months old: he stops looking into Desiree?s eyes when he speaks to her, he treats the slaves awfully, and he seems to fall out of love with Desiree. Desiree is miserable and cannot understand why her husband has changed."
