Secondly, the program aims to eliminate differences in health between the rich and the poor and the able and the disabled. The program aims to reach citizens of all economic levels, treating each person equally within the health care system."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the various resources by which a human resources manager may manage one aspect of the human capital that is an essential feature of any business operation. The paper particularly focuses on the hiring process by human resources management, as well as by consulting and hiring firms and the way in which this outsourcing can help to find the right person for the job.
From the Paper
"Human Resources Management: The Hiring Process Introduction Human Resources encompasses a number of activities or, if you will, a number of issues. There are a number that this paper could cite, but - in the interests of brevity - it will focus upon the hiring process, quite possibly the most important process with which a human resources manager will involve him or herself. The following paper will closely examine the resources available to HR directors and their subordinates as these professionals seek to find the right person for the right job. More particularly, the paper will examine consulting and hiring firms and how they can help, legal resources and how they might be of assistance, Government resources and where they might fit in, and - not least of all - educational institutions and how this resource can expedite the efforts of HR Departments to create human capital that will see the business through to its chief objectives."

Maintaining A Healthy Relationship, 2007.
This paper looks at what a healthy relationship involves.
2,734 words (approx. 10.9 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 81.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the components detrimental to the growth and maintenance of a healthy relationship. The paper explores intimate relationships and friendships. The paper shows that, to have a healthy relationship, two individuals have to "plant" seeds of love and commit to regularly "weed" out negatives, while at the same time nurture the positive points of their relationship. The paper includes true/false questions and plenty of resource material.
From the Paper
"Even though these true/false questions appear to be relatively shallow, news headlines portraying an epidemic crop of unhealthy relationships, alongside the myriad of contemporary divorce rates, reflect that in regard to maintaining healthy relationships, many individuals repeatedly fail the "true/false" test. Perhaps, part of the reason so many fail at maintaining healthy relationships stems from the fact, as Levine, Aune, & Park note: "Love means different things to different people . . ." This research paper purports, albeit, contrary to the concept contributing to this contention: To maintain, a healthy relationship, it must be rooted in a common definition of love. In a healthy relationship, "Keeping love alive requires work. . . . to maintain a healthy relationship requires effort, time and energy,." Mosier (2003) argue. Most individuals do not know, however, what having a healthy relationship involves."

Fitzpatrick and LaGory's "Unhealthy Places", 2005.
This paper reviews "Kevin Fitzpatrick and Mark LaGory's "Unhealthy Places", which explores inner city areas in American cities.
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 1 source, $ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, in Kevin Fitzpatrick and Mark LaGory's "Unhealthy Places, American inner city areas are described as sites of very poor health. The author points out that a spatial model of identity is explained in terms of territorial behavior, which keeps people living in areas that they know are unhealthy and that authorities do little to improve. The paper relates that child mortality doubled through the 1980s, life expectancy is now much lower and residents face pollution, hazardous wastes, increasing violence plus usual problems of poverty."
From the Paper
"The orientation of this volume is strongly American, and much of it revolves around the Village Creek area of Birmingham, Alabama. Nevertheless, its general subject and its theoretical focus can serve as a helpful starting place for readers who are interested in environmentalism and ecology, in relation to the authors' strong emphasis on urban and medical sociology. As this book argues, throughout, being poor in the United States involves subjecting oneself to significant environmental and health risks. The approaches of medical sociology help to give a dimension to this book that separates it from ever so many works to argue that 'poverty is bad', or 'the environment should be cleaner'."

Business Management - Hiring, 2002.
A look at strategies for hiring new staff.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Using a case-study example, the paper illustrates the strategies and procedures necessary for hiring new employees. The paper is written in the form of a request for additional staff. The consequences of not increasing the workforce are looked at and the additional cost that would be incurred is justified. The paper concludes with specific recommendations on appointment of new staff.
From the Paper
"Hiring new employees is a crucial task. The first challenge in this regard is to convince the top management that the addition in human resource will be beneficial for the organization. In this regard, it is important for the manager of the concerned department to give reasonable justifications. In a situation, as described in the case, these justifications should be related to the workforce effectiveness, efficient operations of the department and so on. While addressing the CEO, the manager should point out the problems presently faced by the department, due to the lack of necessary staff and should explain as to how the department will benefit from the addition of new workers. Moreover, the manager should also present a sort of cost-benefit analysis of hiring new workers, so that the top management may not raise an objection on incurring additional cost of hiring new employees. In the below mentioned section, a brief memo is presented showing how to convince the CEO for hiring the new additional staff."

Superior Customer Service
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The net result of my teams is that people in the company are able to work together in a proactive manner to optimize customer satisfaction. For example, the Fulfillment Team meets monthly and continuously refines not only computer systems, but also the physical systems and processes in the building. Their goal is clear and simple: to improve the level of customer service. They succeed in this to a large degree because the various departments are not isolated from each other; all staff are aware of the big picture, and of what they can do to facilitate our continuing success. I have found that the more the different departments communicate, the more everyone realizes that they can create more opportunities for our business, and increase our opportunities to sell. Thus, we all work together to take a pro-active approach to the customer."

Results
Findings
Interpretation/Conclusions
From the Paper
"Threats to internal validity normally are perceived as selection, history, maturation, testing, and instrumentation. Selection threats suggest that those who participated in the control or intervention group have characteristics that differ from those who were not included in the study. There is a possible selection bias given that student were from a school in an undisclosed area of the country, it is unknown whether these were rural or urban youth, from a public or private school or what other variables might affect their level of nutritional, health or independence awareness. History, or the events that happen to students during the course of the study which might affect results, could not be accounted for as all intervention took place in the school setting. Researchers acknowledged they were unable to control for social or family interventions that might run counter to their study goals. Instrumentation, maturation, dropout, and order effects were controlled by researchers directly or through statistical analysis for variance."

Hiring Practices, 2005.
A paper discussing how companies select which people to hire and some of the problems associated with the process.
897 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 31.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that one of the most serious issues in hiring practices is how the people the company hires are selected and that often a company's selection process makes it vulnerable to lawsuits by rejected applicants who feel they were dealt with unfairly. The paper further explains that the best a company can do is to examine its hiring practices as carefully as possible to reduce the possibility that such lawsuits can be successful. The paper then takes a look at which hiring practices best achieve that goal.
From the Paper
"While many companies may use some form of written tests in their decision-making processes, some tools commonly used in hiring are based, at least to some extent, on personal judgment. They include reference checks, background investigations, medical exams, drug tests, and polygraph tests (Foley et. al., 2000). One reason these approaches can make problems for employers is that they seek to ferret out negative qualities in candidates. Some human resource professionals advocate using the evaluation of positive traits in order to select new employees. Such tools as cognitive ability tests, biographical information blanks, structured interviews, work samples, and personality tests (Foley et. al., 2000) do a good job of predicting whether the person will be an effective employee or not and look at positive rather than negative traits a candidate might possess."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper stresses that something is going wrong in the way our children are being taught to eat, and something is not right with the foods that are being offered to them. The author points out that children learn a surprising amount from watching the world around them and following the examples set by their parents, siblings, and other people in their lives; therefore, the entire family should agree about helping the child learn how to be healthy. The paper states that children cannot be expected to eat the same size portions as adults because their bodies are smaller; children must be allowed to decide when they are full.
From the Paper
"Additionally, in order for children to truly be able to develop healthy food-related habits, they must be allowed to help make decisions about what they eat. Many children are not allowed to decide what kinds of food they eat, when they eat, and how much they eat. It is common for parents to scold their children and tell them to ?clean their plate? when the child feels they are done eating. ?Years ago, food was very hard to come by especially during The Great Depression and after World War II. When people have to deal with this sort of situation for years, they develop a certain mindset. Now we don't have that problem."
