Immigration is the leading cause of such high rates of population increase. Immigration is not only causing over-population in our country but it is also affecting our quality of life in the United States. Step 3. Outline/ Preview of case An estimated gain of 106 million people in merely 45 years is expected. Currently there are an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants currently living in the United States today.
At this time people wanted to spend their money instead of save it for hard times. Society’s hourly pay rate nearly double and tripled during this era. War factories transitioned from making war materials to making civilian supplies, which lead to the boost in our economy at the time. Today, effects of the Baby Boom have many factors that come into play that affect our economy. According to National Academy of Social Insurance “social security faces a financial challenge from the impending retirement of the largest generation in American history, the 76 million persons born in the “baby boom” years, from 1946 through 1964.
The reason: over 70 percent of the public said that reducing illegal immigration is a very important foreign-policy goal of the United States. Current projections by the Center for Immigration Studies, based on current immigration policy, estimate that in the year 2056 the population of the United States will be 458 million, 100 million more than it would be if there was no immigration during that period (Blondell, 2008). While the research is unclear on the fiscal demands of illegal immigration on the economy it is clear that human service professionals ethical approach should always be geared towards helping and caring for people. Human service professionals are faced with an increasing dilemma of providing assistance to people from a moral/ethical standpoint while feverishly trying to stay within the confines of legal boundaries. A statement taken from the Ethical Standards of Human Service Professionals states, “Human service professional are aware of local, state, and federal laws.
The massive number of European immigrants that entered into America’s east coast from the late 1800’s and on forever influenced the growth and development of the country. Fleeing crop failure, famine, rising taxes, and land/job shortages, many immigrants journeyed to the United States because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity. With hope for a brighter future, nearly 27 million immigrants arrived in the United States between 1880 and 1920. The majority of the immigrants entered through Ellis Island, leading it to become the gateway to America and become recognized as a national symbol. Many of the immigrants, not knowing the way America worked, didn’t stray too far from the East Coast and moved into areas filled with people of similar languages, traditions, and beliefs.
Elderly as a Vulnerable Population Faustino Hernandez NUR/440 June 11, 2011 University of Phoenix Elderly as a Vulnerable Population According To the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary (2002), vulnerability is the Ability to "Be Easily Physically, Emotionally, or mentally hurt, Influenced or attacked." “As one of the faster growing segments of the population, over 70 million American citizens will be considered elderly by 2030 (Centers for the Disease Control and Prevention , 2007).” The United States Census Bureau states that, the Population greater Than 65 years old is growing at a rapid pace and by the year 2050 will duplicate and will increase from 12 to 20 percent of the population. This same percentage will be considered vulnerable population. Currently 40 million of people in the United States are 65 years or older, according to the Census Bureau these numbers will be expected to double by 2050, longevity will increased and this will bring a new number of common diseases which, will make this group more vulnerable. At Any Given Time, anyone can become vulnerable, the composition of the population has changed demographically and the elderly population has increased in recent years because of the development of the science and technology, but with this increment of the elderly population the vulnerability increases as well, due to some factors that this vulnerable population is exposed to, such as increase of the needs, physical and mental limitations, and lack of financial resources.
But according to Census Bureau projections, that's a story that is changing: by the year 2050, minority groups are expected to account for 49.9 percent of the population.” This population increase is going to come from births and from immigration as well. The biggest immigration population will come from the Asians and Hispanic groups. These are not the only groups that will see an increase of population, people over the age of 65 will see an increase too. This increase in the minority groups will almost remove any racial or ethnic majority in the United States. The increase in the minority population will help with diversity in the United States but it will face some challenges.
Individuals have also made good arguments about the negative outcome that racial profiling might bring to our society. Obviously it has led the dominant race to have superiority to the minorities – racial discrimination. James Zogby, the president of the Arab-American Institute have made a point that he have seen a lot of dark skinned people being searched and treated with humiliation, which is really wrong – Racial Relations. David Harris, a writer and Professor at Toledo College, have already written a couple of books about racial profiling. He states that law enforcers think that they would be more accurate in targeting a suspicious group, but in reality, what happens is the total opposite wherein officials have inaccurate results in targeting the suspect—Race Relations.
In recent years, Canada has received many immigrants because of its advantageous social, environmental and economical conditions. Grady (2009) reports that Canada’s immigration levels have remained very high, since the Mulroney government relaxed its immigration policy to new immigrants in the mid-1980s. A total of about 250,000 new permanent residents and 113,000 temporary foreign workers were welcomed to Canada in 2006 (p.28). When immigrants arrive at a new place; they have to start everything from the beginning. Most will experience a transition period and during this period, they have to establish their own self-sufficiency within the new social structure.
