Abstract
The following paper describes the necessary observations and ethical actions that an individual from an elder generation needs to take, with the help of available tools in society, for the positive grooming of his / her future generations ? children ? to make world a better place.
From the Paper
"The basis of the world being a better place depends on the kind of forthcoming generations that will inhabit it. Being a member of the senior generation, it becomes incumbent on every individual to ensure a proper upbringing of these torchbearers (The Ethical Society of Northern Westchester). This task is not for institutions to fulfill on collective grounds, but an individual effort that can determine the impact of one?s positive character on the new generations, and show them the way to mould their lives on.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was correct in saying: ?We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.? He saw the hope in the eyes of the youth, and those who understood the philosophy responded to the challenge ? not by making or saving fortunes for their forthcoming generations, but by building characters on basis of individual interactions, relationships and practical teachings ? and were victorious."

Abstract
This paper presents a review of the literature available concerning the relationship between caregivers and the recipients of their care. Particular emphasis is placed on literature that looks at the impact that gender has on the role of the caregiver.
From the Paper
"The question of what impact gender has in caregiving and/or the distribution of caregiving tasks among family members when caring for aging parents is a significant one, given the aging of the population and what has been reported as a breakdown in family structure. By far the literature provides information concerning care by the spouse. There is an overwhelming need for studies centered on family members and roles involved in caregiving activities for parents."

Abstract
This paper explores four generation groupings and their impact on the employment sector: Veterans, or Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation Xers, and the newer generation, Generation Y, or Generation Next. Of all the conflicts between generations in the workplace, perhaps the most volatile and difficult to strategize upon is that between the Baby Boomers and Generation Y. The paper tries to understand why these two generations are butting heads in the workplace and looks at where each of these four generation groups stems from.
From the Paper
"Veterans, or Traditionalists, compromise the oldest bracket of the workforce. At an average of 52million of the population, Veterans are those born between 1922 and 1943, coming of age during and before the Great Depression. They have a work-ethic that makes them ?solid, no-nonsense performers with respect for authority and who are repositories of lore and wisdom? (Zemke, 2001). They have the experience of the job and tend to ?be more concerned with the ?big picture? issues? (ISR, 2003). While younger generations may condone their stringent work ethic and ?bullish? attitude towards changes in society, ?This generation rebuilt America by partnering with institutions. In so doing, this generation fueled the economic boom? (Lancaster, 2002). Fifty percent of the male ratio of this generation group were war veterans."

Abstract
This paper analyzes and examines various contentions regarding Generation X. Part II outlines arguments in support of the contention that stereotypes regarding Generation X are untrue. In Part III, arguments in support of the contention that stereotypes regarding Generation X are true are presented. Lastly, this paper concludes with suggestions for presenting a more balanced view of Generation X.
From the Paper
"Throughout history, society has felt compelled to devise labels for nearly every category or trait. People may be given a specific label based on their age, economic status, education level, ethnic background, geographic location, occupation, political beliefs, religious beliefs, and various other factors. While labels based on one category may dominate at certain time periods (i.e., ethnicity-based labels dominated in the early 1950s), labels based on age seem to be common regardless of the time period.
"Individuals ages 20-29 are commonly referred to as ?Generation X.? Other names for Generation X include ?Gen X,? the ?Generation Without a Conscience,? the ?Lost Generation,? the ?Me Generation,? the ?Slacker Generation,? ?Twenty Somethings,? or ?Yuppies With a Conscience But Without Fat Paychecks.? (Coupland). While labels may be useful in distinguishing members of various categories based strictly on age, labels are most often used in a divisive and pejorative manner."

Abstract
The book is about the generation of Americans who fought World War II, maintained society at home during World War II, overcame the Great Depression and rebuilt the nation of America. It is designed to pay tribute to and make people aware of just what this generation of men and women did for America and how they contributed to the society we have today. This paper describes the battles of the generation via first-person accounts, the battles fought in the war itself and those who fought at home. It also examines how the generation is represented by a cross-section of stories.
From the Paper
"The nature of the book in the form of personal accounts is one reason the book can be questioned for its accuracy. While the book does use many accounts, the question must be asked, how many accounts did the author have to select from. With his purpose being to show what Americans of this generation did, it is natural that he is going to choose the stories of either those that became famous in some way or those that have heroic stories to tell. While the book proposes to be a cross-section of stories, this cross-section does not really represent the generation as a whole, instead it represents those that did the most."

Elders in the Christian Church, 2004.
An examination of the role and importance of elders in the Christian Church today.

Abstract
In the early Christian Church, the term "elder", while possibly influenced by the use of the title for secular magistrates in Asia Minor, was derived from the Israelites, who subsequently shared it with other Semitic peoples. Today, elders play an important role in many Christian denominations, most notably Presbyterian and the Church of the Latter-Day Saints. While their roles vary, the authority and responsibilities for such elders is clearly outlined in the Old and New Testaments. This paper provides a review of the relevant literature to identify the various roles and responsibilities for church elders, followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"During the Reformation in the 16th century, the office of elder was renewed by certain churches, most notably the Presbyterians; in this regard, Presbyterian's maintain a dichotomy of church government concepts in which there are two classes of elders: 1) the teaching elders (called ministers, ordained and especially set apart to the pastoral office) and 2) the ruling elders (these are lay persons generally selected by the congregation and ordained to assist the minister in the oversight and government of the church) (Church Elders 2004). The role and importance of church elders to the Presbyterian Church is illustrated in a poll of Presbyterians that found pastors much more inclined than their congregations to believe that local churches should take stands on a variety of social issues."

Conspicuous Consumption of Generation Y in Taiwan, 2004.
This paper is a complete research project to evaluate the relationship between luxury purchases as conspicuous consumption and Generation Y in Taiwan, using designer brands as the example.

Abstract
This paper explains that conspicuous consumption is often thought of as unnecessary spending or the purchasing of products that are not necessities. Increases in upward mobility have increased conspicuous consumption patterns in nations around the world. The author points out that the impact of a rapidly growing economy and of increased education in Taiwan have had an impact on the conspicuous consumption of Generation Y. These individuals are college-educated with significant incomes and have money to spend. The paper concludes that there is a thin line between luxury and necessity; one generation's luxury becomes their successors' necessity. Luxury is often associated with a quality buy.

From the Paper
"The survey also found that some of the respondents had regrets about making expensive purchases. The phenomenon of regret was most evident in younger respondents who often regretted such purchases because they were too expensive, or the styles were outdated. The survey found that older respondents that were more financially stable rarely had regrets about the purchases they made. To combat the regret that younger consumers have companies should create a line of products that are less expensive but still have the high quality of other clothing by the designer. The less expensive line will allow younger consumers to purchase products without regret."

First, Second and Third Generation Immigrants, 2006.
A discussion regarding communications breakdown between first generation immigrants and later immigrant generations.

Abstract
This paper discusses the predictions of changes coming to the Hispanic community which are based on the birth-rate of second and third generation immigrants currently outstripping the entrance of first generation immigrants from Spanish speaking countries. According to the paper, this shift will create dramatic changes as the new generations attempt to communicate their differences in values and perspectives as their language and cultural values shift from those of their parents' or grandparents' countries to those of the United States. The changes, although perhaps less pronounced due to the United States relatively new "salad bowl" perspective on culture, will be both sweeping and inevitable.
From the Paper
"The Hispanic community in the United States is changing. This change is not a result of any outside forces; rather, it is coming from within the Hispanic community itself. The change was inevitable, coming from the growth of the community over time. With this change come the inevitable difficulties between generations, only exacerbated by a new language and a new culture--and even a new way of thinking. The Hispanic community is changing because the population of "second generation" immigrants, the children of people who came to the United States, is overtaking the number of Hispanic people coming into the country.

The Lost Generation, 2004.
An analysis of the suffering of the 'lost generation' as depicted in Ernest Hemingway?s "A Farewell to Arms" and Erich Maria Remarque?s "All Quiet on the Western Front".

Abstract
This paper examines how the so-called lost generation suffered from just as many emotional injuries as they did physical ones after witnessing the ravages brought about by war and how two novels that capture and emphasize the raw emotion of battle are Ernest Hemingway?s "A Farewell to Arms" and Erich Maria Remarque?s "All Quiet on the Western Front". It looks at how, through the experiences of Frederic and Baumer, each author allows us to understand the feelings of detachment, disillusion, and hopelessness often associated with the lost generation.
From the Paper
"One of the predominant emotions the lost generation experienced is detachment. Being a soldier and facing death daily has negative repercussions. This detachment can be seen in A Farewell to Arms during Frederic?s conversation with the priest. He tells the priest that the soldiers ?were beaten to start with. They were beaten when they took them from their farms and put them in the army. That is why the peasant has wisdom, because he is defeated from the start? (Hemingway 179). In addition, he tells the priest that there really is nothing for him to believe in anymore."

Abstract
This paper explains that the opinions of the Generation Y are important and can be expressed by voting. The paper then points out that voting is a right that not everybody always was allowed to possess; therefore, voting should be taken seriously and not for granted. The paper relates that the author of the paper registered to vote because he wants to help put the best President into office. The author underscores that someone who is indecisive, not well educated, and has never taken control of a political situation is not someone that he wants to have as his leader. The paper describes a very liberal website PunkVoter.com, which teaches "punk" fans about the policies of George Bush, Jr. The author stresses that votes by the Generation Y will play a huge factor in where this country will go in the future.

Abstract
This paper examines the works of Gertrude Stein, Sherwood Anderson and T.S. Eliot - authors emerged from the second world war dissatisfied with the emotionless aura, rampant materialism, and shallow culture which seemed to stamp out art and the individual in America. The paper relates that the 'Lost Generation' authors wanted to break from the old-fashioned and confused society of post-war America. The paper also looks at how these authors accomplished this their writings which challenged romanticism through realism, structure and coherence through rhythm, and confined poetic construction through symbolism and literary allusion.
From the Paper
"The notion of romanticism, so popular during the 19th century, was passionately abandoned by the Lost Generation, particularly by author, Sherwood Anderson, who favored realism in his writings. Anderson wrote prose which generally dealt with issues of the individual's emotions and situation with the larger structuralized society. Particularly in the short story, "Hands", Anderson deals with the sorrowful existence of a man, unjustly accused of pedophilia and homosexual inclinations as a school teacher."

The Beat Generation, 2004.
This paper discusses Jack Kerouac?s ?On the Road?, Allen Ginsberg?s ?Howl?, and William Burroughs?s ?Naked Lunch? as examples of the literary, 1950s Beat Generation.

Abstract
This paper explains that Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William Burroughs were the galvanizing forces behind the Beat Generation; their writings and revolutionary narrative techniques created a national sensation that is still debated in modern literary circles. The author points out that Kerouac?s ?On the Road ?, the most respected work of the group, at first glance seems incoherent; but, as the novel progresses, we discover the story moves from a superficial sense of order to a deeper, more penetrating sense of openness. The paper relates that ?Howl? is not the work of an angry young man; Ginsberg emerges from this rather long poem as a rancorous and somewhat gloomy mystic seer as opposed to a deferential and conventional kind of person that had symbolized the youth of the post-WWII period.
From the Paper
"The sex that is virtually dominant in the world of "Naked Lunch" appears to reflect the sex that Freud revealed as the ultimate cause, means, and end. Anything goes in Interzone, and the sex is there in all varieties and expressions. However, it is ?junk? which sufficiently separates the narrator from the group consciousness to let him have this vision of things as they are. Junk has its literal importance as a stimulus, but it is also important as a symbol. In general, it is a symbol of meaninglessness, or life as the be-all and end-all of an evolving world. Only be coming into ultimate contact with junk, by knowing it as a symbol, one can realize the separate life."
