Leading Intergenerational Groups The modern workplace is largely comprised of three generations working alongside each other, with two generations, the Baby Boomers and Gen X making being the vast majority at this point (50 percent and 39 percent respectively). [ (Gesell, 2010) ] The generation that built and shaped the modern environment in the post WWII years, ‘The Traditionalists’, have nearly entirely phased out of the workforce, but the echo of thier institutions and culture will be felt for years to come. The upcoming generation, the Millennials, have only begun to have an impact – and the impact they have as a generational cohort will increasingly dominate in the coming years. As a generation, the Millennials are 95 million strong. [ (Gesell, 2010) ] The 78 million Baby Boomers in the workforce now have long been accustomed to being the biggest generation with the most cultural clout, but they will inevitably have to cede the workplace (and society) to the Millennials, who are entering the workforce en mass now, and will be hitting their mid-career stride as the Baby Boomer generation retires.

Through the realm of history, fads have changed and diverged tremendously through out the years. Whether we are talking about the Emo style, or bell-bottom jeans, fads have greatly helped defined history since the very begging of time. The book Bellwether written by Connie Willis is a great representation of the many fads individuals face through a life time and how they evolve. These fads are forever changing, but leave a huge impact on style and history as we know it. These fads impact our world in great ways by promoting self confidence and by developing jobs through out the world.
Disease Trends and the Delivery of Health Care Service HCA/240 Disease Trends and the Delivery of Health Care Services As the world grows through population and the development of technology so does the way people are cared for. With baby boomers getting older and greater numbers of obese patients being recognized this leads to the way this people are taken care for in the world known as health care. We may think we can continue on the same track as we started we will soon find there will be different needs that need to be meet as well as new ways to administer them. While globally the aging population is growing at an unprecedented rate, and some countries are witnessing simultaneous population aging and population decline. The face

The professions of speech – language pathology and audiology have developed more recently than many human services professions. It is an interesting field that has grown rapidly in the past four decades in our country. It is an area of study, which has made its potential felt by every passing day on account of rehabilitating hundreds of thousands of hearing/speech impaired.

Texting is a seismic shift to the English language. With over 6.1 trillion texts being sent a year, thousands of new abbreviations, initialisms and contractions are being created every day, therefore making it the fastest growing dialect in the world. Texting, also known as ‘multi modal communication’ has been in the centre of controversy for numerous years. It has been described as ‘innovative’ by some and ‘cliché’ or ‘slobbish’ by others. After analyzing, evaluating and interpretating data and opinions, it can be asserted that text and computer-mediated messages ARE creative, however only towards a specific audience and age group.
Generally, modeling and projection of disease and mortality rates have fundamental importance in epidemiology and population studies along with insurance and pensions industries. Human mortality has improved substantially over the last century all over the world but this change has brought new requirements in support-systems for the elderly, such as health-care and pension provision. Aging became the greatest population problem for many industrialized countries since the last two decades. This has resulted in a surge of interest among government policy makers and planners in accurately modeling and forecasting age-specific mortality rates. Policy makers rely greatly on future mortality rates as an indicator of future population structure also.
