From the Paper
"Recent advances in the field of medicine make it possible to live longer than ever before. While a longer life provides the opportunity for seniors to do things that they put on hold while raising families and working, it can also create a feeling of isolation and loneliness. Depression has been reported to be a common problem among the elderly as well as not eating correctly and other issues that occur when a person removes himself from society. The center for national statistics on suicide reports that the age bracket with the highest suicide rate is the group of 85 plus years old(Suicide http://www.tspn.org/facts.htm). To combat these and other problems associated with aging it is important for an elderly person to remain active. Whether it is through club membership, senior center activities or volunteering their time, the elderly should continue an active lifestyle as long as they are physically and mentally able to do so.

"Dementia refers to a trouncing of cognitive task due to changes in the brain caused by infection or pain. The changes might take place steadily or rapidly; moreover how they crop up might resolve whether dementia is reversible or irrevocable. Dementia is a type of common intellectual injury observed in aged people. More or less 10 percent of all people more than 65 years of age have clinically essential intellectual injury. Even though about 20 percent of these cases may be due to treatable causes such as toxic drug reactions, nearly all cases are what is identified as Alzheimer's ailment. It starts with fading concentration and reminiscence, loss of numerical capability, tetchiness and failure of sense of humor, and deprived orientation in space and time. Alzheimer's infection is persistently progressive and leads to fatality in 5 to 15 years. Studies of the brains of persons who have died of Alzheimer's illness illustrate typical warped fibers, known as neurofibrillary tangles, in definite areas of the brain, and cores of abnormal protein, called neurotic plaques, interspersed between nerve cells. No treatment is identified for dementia. A structure of this ailment strikes younger persons, in whom it is recognized as dementia.( Andrews and Roy, 2003)"

The average lifespan is expanding, as is the quality of life for those who reach the golden years.

Senior citizens often find themselves in need of residential care, whether that care is full service, or assisted living.

Abstract
This paper begins by providing a scan of marketing trends in the current business world. It then moves on to the phenomenon of marketing in the senior citizen sector and the changes that need to be made to classic marketing methods in order to fit this unique population group.
From the Paper
"The Wall Street Journal recently ran an article looking into the changing needs and desires of the new class of elderly, the aging baby boomers. "We are stunned at the high percentage of older consumers who felt that their needs were not being met. According to a survey by Georgia State University, consumers 55 and older control 75% of the nation's wealth, and about half of the discretionary income. Other studies from Grey Advertising warn that marketers who overlook the 50-and-over market could be headed for disaster. The over-50 age bracket is an especially good market for tax and legal advice, home entertainment, financial services, and travel and clothing." Time Magazine also echoed the findings as they chided Madison Avenue for disregarding a vast, long ignored market. (Bauer, 1989)"

"Interview with a Senior Eileen Steyn: Prairie Girl to Toronto Activist I had arranged to meet Eileen Steyn over the phone, and her voice left me with a range of expectations - nice "old lady"; polite; mild-mannered - that were instantly belied by her appearance as she walked into the Starbucks. She looked like an older version of Jacqueline Kennedy from the "Camelot" era, complete with pillbox hat and crisply cut skirt-jacket combination. I learned, in the course of the interview, that this resemblance was not accidental for the famous First Lady was an iconic figure to "political women" of Eileen's generation."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Strategies require more than retaining competent people. They require specific people with specific talents for specific tasks. Concentration strategies are a good example of how HR can affect change. They are an integral part in retaining employees by way if training to keep skills sharp and compensation to give those with skills the proper income for their work. Another strategy that can impact change in a positive direction is the external growth strategy during mergers and acquisitions. HR is a critical facet during a merger as issues of conflict usually arise. HR must train staff in conflict resolution due to the merging cultures. In doing so, morale and production can be impacted if the proper training is conducted. Additionally, rightsizing to cut costs and remain competitive in the market is another strategy whereby HR is important and can positively affect the company in meeting its goals. HR can assess the positions and the job functions to see what positions can merge. Upon doing so, they then can look objectively at the employees who aren't as valued to determine the cuts needed to achieve the desired results."

Recruiting and Benefits Administration
Conclusion
From the Paper
" While the experts may not agree on the best approach, everyone agrees that it costs a lot of money to successfully recruit and train any new hire just as it costs less to keep an existing customer than it costs to find new ones; therefore, to the extent that this HR function is managed effectively is the extent to which the company will realize some important cost savings as well as improve its employee turnover, absenteeism rate as well as the costs associated with further recruiting and training requirements. Likewise, benefits administration, as a component of the overall compensation system design, must become more cost effective. Many companies have realized significant cost savings by outsourcing their benefits administration function, and at the risk of losing valuable corporate "turf," it is the incumbent's recommendation that our company also outsource this function."

Abstract
This paper examines how as the business environment in which most companies operate has changed, the role of the human resource function has changed, as well. It looks at how human resource professionals used to serve as personnel specialists who worked largely outside the realm of strategic management and how they are now an integral part of the strategic focus of a company. It evaluates how human resource professionals now take a proactive role in helping companies attract and retain the highest quality workers who are able to meet the needs of the organization not only in the immediate future, but over the long term. Human resource managers are in a unique position to bring change to organizations since they are increasingly being included in senior management and since they work closely with other managers as well as lower-level employees.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Increasingly, organizations are including human resource professionals in the strategic planning sessions which take place at the executive level. Where once personnel specialists would react to the strategic plan by trying to find employees who could help the company achieve its goals, human resource professionals are now active participants in determining those plans. Based on their familiarity of the workforce in the local region (or in remote areas, in some cases), human resource professionals can offer guidelines as to how much a particular strategy will cost in terms of human resources, and whether the company has the right people on staff currently or whether new employees will have to be hired and trained. In some cases, retraining of current employees will take place concurrently with hiring new employees."

Philosophers and Citizens in Plato's Republic, 2006.
An analysis of the desirable civic traits of both philosophers and citizens according to Plato in the "Republic".
2,700 words (approx. 10.8 pages), 1 source, $ 106.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This book discusses the similarities and differences in Books II through VII of Plato's "Republic" regarding the best combination of civic traits desirable for citizens and philosophers in the city. For example, in his description of the most admirable traits of a warrior-guardian, Socrates declared that those who on each occasion would do what is best for the city would be the best guardians. He also declared that they would also be the best citizens because good citizens devote themselves to the good of the city as a whole.

Plato's Republican Rulers: Guardians and Good Citizens, 2006.
A comparison of the definition of a good citizen in Books II-VII of "Plato's Republic" with that of Socrates' definition and identification of a good citizen.

Abstract
This paper discusses the ways in which Books II-VII of "Plato's Republic" confirm and contradict Socrates' identification of the good citizen with the philosopher. The problem of this identification is that the books progressively elucidate that the guardians are over and above the city by virtue of the appropriate natures they are born with, their training as warriors-philosophers, how and where they live, and their unique customs. They are not 'of' the polis as are the citizens over whom they are to police and rule. In so far as they are the guardians, by definition they are the good citizens.

Abstract
The paper compares Citizens Banking Corporation to its industry group, Regional Midwest Banks. This comparison focuses on determining the success of Citizen in carrying out its financial strategies. Finally,the writer discusses the Citizens strategies for the future and argues whether or not they are appropriate within the market to ensure growth and productivity.
From the Paper
"The key strategy on which Citizens seems to be concentrating, however, is expansion of its banking activities through a highly focused sales effort, product expansion, and a company-wide philosophy of "Client First" (SEC, 1999). The sales effort ties into the client first philosophy in that it is geared toward building relationships. Cross selling of everything from traditional banking services to newer, non-traditional financial services is the key to the success of this retail sales effort. The expanded product line includes investment advising, brokerage services, lease financing, life insurance, title insurance and mortgage origination. Finally, Citizens made a substantial investment in new technology giving customers access to full internet banking services. (Citizens Bank, 2000)."
