From the Paper
"The topic is transition to aging, a subject of increasing interest in our society and one that has aroused considerable interest among researchers and theorists as well. The transition to aging is seen by many theorists as but another, though perhaps special, aspect of the life cycle. Erikson is the theorist who particularly emphasizes the life cycle and who considers aging in terms of its place in that cycle. The entire life cycle for Erikson is developmental in nature, with each stage growing out of earlier stages, and with each stage showing its distinctive characteristics. The transition to aging is a period during which certain aspects of the life situation of the individual can be seen to change and during which the individual develops new attitudes in response. We will consider Erikson's approach and its ramifications for the transition to aging."

Abstract
The paper discusses how appropriate post-secondary education training facilitates the transition of students with learning disabilities (LD) into an increasingly complex and demanding world of work. The paper shows how successful transition planning involves multidimensional informal and formal assessment beginning early in the student's educational career. The paper looks at the trans-disciplinary transition model (TTM) and its phases of assessment, planning, training, placement and follow-up and examines factors that should be considered when structuring assessments for the students' transitions. The paper then discusses higher education's backlash against college students with LD and looks at how to minimize its effects.
Outline:
Introduction
Transition In Learning Disability
Trans-disciplinary Transition Model
Structuring Assessments for Transition Planning
Assessment and Services for College-Bound Students with Learning Disabilities
Summary
From the Paper
"People with learning disabilities (LD) are a highly heterogeneous group whose ability to learn in one or more specific areas is impaired. Increasing numbers of persons with learning disabilities who are now entering college have been found to have special needs related to both academic survival and career development that are often unrecognized and unmet in institutions of higher education (Ohler, Levinson, Barker, 1996). Students with learning disabilities may require considerable intervention before vocational decisions can be made. As such, they are in need of, and required by law to be provided with, services that are designed to assist them in making the transition from high school to postsecondary education."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in a rapidly aging society, the American bias towards youth will have to be replaced by an added level of respect for the elderly. This paper reviews the theory of Erik Erikson on his life journey through many stages. This author stresses issues of family, spirituality and economic well-being and urges that American families begin to include the aged within their household as is the practice in most of the world.
From the Paper
"In other more inclusive cultures, it is well understood that life?s journey is circular in motion. Issues that have been dealt with in the past continually re-emerge, and the most important issue of all is that of relationships. Because human beings are above all social animals, the society one depends on is by far the most important aspect of aging. This concept is well understood in Asia and in South America, but apparently, it is not as paramount in the United States."

Abstract
This paper reviews the term "transition economies" which defines those socialist command economies that, in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, attempted a transition from a state controlled, centralized planning economic model to a decentralized capitalist economic model. The paper lists these transition economies as being Russia, Poland, China and Vietnam. Transition economies are generally classified under one of two categories: the shock model and the gradualism model. The paper further discusses how these categories refer to the rate of economic and political change in these societies during their transitional periods. States that applied the gradualism model include Poland and China, while the shock model is commonly applied to cases such as that of Russia.

From the Paper
"However, studies also note that this situation can be remedied through careful planning and preparation before the leadership loss. Patton notes that many schools and universities are encouraging those who are to leave leadership roles to share information and provide access of data to others prior to their departure. ( Patton, 2006.) The important aspect is that the process of knowledge sharing is imperative as well as the fact that information and knowledge is passed on to others, so that there can be no vacuum that the new leadership has to fill."

"In terms of when to conduct interventions, the younger the child the better. Hanna Wasik reports that a program for children aged four months to eighteen months, called the Abecedarian Project, has seen phenomenal success in increasing IQ and language scores. Such programs are accompanied by transitions programs in order to ensure that these gains are carried over into actual school. (Fuligni & Brooks-Gunn, 2004, p. 119) The transition program or service represents a way of linking together the lessons of an earlier environment with that of a later, yet to be experienced, environment. In this way, transition programs and services assist individuals in a wide variety of circumstances and situations, helping them to move on with their lives in a productive fashion. "

From the Paper
"Blake E Ashforth has argued that as individuals exit one role and enter into another they experience a number of changes that interact with an individual's global self-identity. Many role transitions are spurred or accompanied by psychological motives whereas others are seen by Ashforth as necessitated by changing life circumstances. The subject is of significance to individuals working in the field of disability management. Laura Trupin Douglas Sebesta and Edward Yelin noted that many disabled individuals in the workforce..."

The Demographic Transition Model, 2002.
Defines and assesses the usefulness of the demographic transition as an analytical tool.
1,400 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 3 sources, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The demographic transition model represents an attempt to develop a coherent synthesis of world population history over the course of recent centuries. As this paper will demonstrate, this conceptual model suffers from the drawback of all generalizations in that it fails to explain a variety of local or individual demographic divergences from the expected norm. However, while this failing is acceptable in that it is common to all generalizations and thus may be compensated for, a discussion of its relevance to the understanding modern population will demonstrate that there are so many exceptions to its conceptual rule that it becomes useless as an analytical tool in any respect.

The Spanish Transition to Democracy, 2005.
An examination of the Spanish transition to democracy under the principle of 'ruptura pactada',
3,333 words (approx. 13.3 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 95.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that the logic of a democratisation based on the notion of 'ruptura pactada' (rupture based on mutual agreements) has enabled the Spanish government to address peacefully the issues of the form of government, the place of religion and the question of historic nationalism, by making concessions to satisfy the whole Spanish political class. It looks at how nevertheless, this consensual solution has been revealing its high fragility since Spain's 'second' debut as a democracy, in particular in the domain of autonomous and independence aspirations among Spanish regions. It discusses to what extent the logic of 'ruptura pactada' can be considered as to have inherent weaknesses which would undermine a peaceful democratic consolidation in Spain.
Outline:
The Making of Spain's Transition to Democracy Under the Principle of 'Policy of Consensus' or Also Called 'Ruptura Pactada'
The Drafting of the 1978 Constitution: The Application of the Principle of 'Ruptura Pactada' In Political Negotiations
The Fragility of the Consensus: The Emergence of Strong Contestations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Juan Antonio Ortega Diaz-Ambrona insists on that, in the perspective of Franco's imminent death, the National Movement (the Francoist political platform of the dictatorship), was extremely divided as for the way Spanish politics should be managed in the future. Indeed, the Francoist political elite was divided between the inmovilistas (the "fixed ones") who advocated the "continuity", which means that the Francoist political regime, as defined by the "Fundamental principles" (Principios Fundamentales) established in 1958, should continue after Franco's death, and the aperturistas (the "open ones") who favoured a direction towards a more liberalised and democratic regime (ORTEGA DIAZ-AMBRONA, 1984: 21-22). Carlos Arias Navarro replaced Carrero Blanco at the head of the government but the Francoist government faced serious difficulties to get unanimous support for a new law of political associations in February 1974.

The Transition From RN to BSN, 2006.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the nursing profession's recent practice of demanding nurses obtain a BSN college degree as opposed to the traditional custom of completing a 4 year hospital-base nursing certification program. The writer of this paper discusses the subsequent productivity of registered nurses (RNs) who regularly report that the monotonous coursework required in obtaining a BSN creates learning circumstances that are costly, exasperating and unproductive. While associate and bachelor degree nursing faculty are designed to smooth the transition for RN to BSN students, researching the differences between RN and BSN graduates have shown little success.
From the Paper
"There are contradictory outcomes associated to decisive thinking. The researchers found no differentiation in decisive thinking, self-reported apparent complexity with making decisions, or frequency of making decisions, though they found BSN students achieved higher on critical thinking skills than ADN students and found no distinction in patient ratings of care supplied by senior students from the two types of programs. One of the reason researchers may have had no accomplishment in finding a difference in practice is because there are no differences because the education programs are so similar. Specifically, in California, an RN who has graduated from an ADN program with 112 units and an RN who has graduated from a BSN program with 120 units could be very hard to distinguish in practice."
