Carter/”Just Be Nice”
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that is in reaction to “Just Be Nice,” Stephen L. Carter, which is an essay that calls for a return to civility and argues that the “protection of constructive and polite public discourse is essential to public morality and the common good” (Davis 689). Roger Williams, the seventeenth century Puritan leader who founded the colony of Rhode Island, emphasized the need for civility, as he argued that the “’term’ civility’ stands for basic moral norms that citizens hold in common” and this is a stance in which Carter concurs (Davis 689). Therefore, rude, vulgar speech that accosts one’s fellow citizens for no apparent reason is more than simply bad manners. It is a direct attack on the foundations of society itself. This point is proven by examining the functions that civility serves in society, and also by looking at the innate power of language. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Case 8.1: Banana Time Case
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing work group formation in the Banana Time Case (8.1). In the Banana Time Case, the narrator of the case considers the relationships and conversations between his co-workers as meaningless until he starts participating and realizing the social interactions which are taking place. A group cohesiveness has formed among the work group which would considered strong because of several essential characteristics which are vital in the formation of groups: an informal leader had emerge in George which has a paternal relationship with Sammy and Ike; norms and routines have also been established which allow for a bond between the workers and separates them from other work groups and provides a secure environment; each member has a role within the group which is not upset by the introduction of a new worker; the group is physically removed from other groups in the organization which provides for better cohesiveness; and, the mentoring aspect is kept low key in order to avoid jealousy regarding any new relationships which may be formed between the leader and the new worker. These aspects among other characteristics have made the group in the Banana Time case a good example of an informal, collective, socially interactive and additive group as well as being part of a larger conjunctive group.

Case Study of Rena Graybeal: Gerontology Theories of Disengagement and Activity
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 11 page paper discussing a case study of an elderly woman in regards to the gerontology theories of disengagement and activity. A case study of an elderly woman, Rena Graybeal, consists of two aspects: part one, her biography which explores her biographical details, education, social supports, retirement, finances, politics, religion, relationships and health status; and, part two, her life in relation to the gerontology theories of disengagement and activity. The disengagement theory and the activity theory present two contrasting concepts of what functional roles older individuals play in society: disengagement, in which older individuals gradual disengage themselves from activities in society in order to allow for the younger generations which leads to life satisfaction; and activity, in which older individuals continue to maintain high activity levels in order to continue to contribute to society which leads to life satisfaction. Upon reviewing Rena Graybeal’s biography and current life, it becomes obvious to readers that Rena has always had and continues to have an active life consistent with the activity theory. Rena continues to contribute to this generation and the next, is aware of political, environmental and social issues, and maintains an open-mind in regards to religion, politics, family and other important components which makes her a functional member of society.

These sections first discuss the issues in general and then, as they specifically relate to police officers. Law enforcement officers sleep a good deal less than the average person, leading to persistent fatigue, which, in turn, leaves these officers less able to deal with the everyday events in their lives. The last section of this essay discusses what some departments have done to combat this problem and also offers recommendations for changing this dreadful condition among our police officers.

Causes Of Poverty In Contemporary Society
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Throughout history, money has played a significant role in virtually all cultures. It forces people to conform to a certain way of life, and it often changes their perceptions for the worse. The drive to possess great amounts of money has survived throughout the centuries, only to become even more disastrous in contemporary culture. There appears to be no end to what people will do to acquire a lot of money, often sacrificing
their families, their health and their morality. How can something that fits in the palm of one’s hand evoke such cultural tension and strife? To be sure, the more money one possesses in most cultures equates to a better life, inasmuch as it allows people to rise out of poverty. What are the major causes of poverty in today's society? How is this related to racism, if at all? When considering such
concepts as poverty, welfare, racism, social fact, social structure, social stratification, social inequality, functional theory and conflict theory, one gains a significantly better perspective of how greed and lack of social conscience reflect poverty's primary causes. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Census 2000
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length.
