-- Alive and Kicking
[ send
me this paper ]
Adultery - Alive and Kicking: This 10-page report explores
the reasons why adultery is such a prevalent theme in
literary works of the 19th century. Citing the social
mores of both the Victorian Era and the Age of
Romanticism, it is understandable then how infidelity
could be justified. However, since it obviously remains
such a hot topic in today?s society - what excuses can be
engendered for modern times? Bibliography lists 11

Adults
Return to School / Sociology & The Non-Traditional
Student
[ send
me this paper ]
The re-entry of adults as non traditional students into
higher education has become linked to the changes in job
descriptions, job availability, job demands, and the
world-wide corporate-industrial culture. In this very
detailed 16 page research paper, the writer explores how
adult college education has become symbolic of job
opportunity/qualification & improvement yet at the
same time, the meaning of a college degree has become less
and less significant over the years. Macro & Micro
studies as well as numerous statistics, studies, and case
examples are provided. Bibliography lists more than 12

Age
Discrimination in the Workplace
[ send
me this paper ]
A 3 page observation on the occurrence of age
discrimination in the workplace. Notes that the fact that
a substantial percentage of Americans now comprise the
older age categories coupled with better health care and
relatively longer healthier lives translates into a
greater possibility that more and more individuals will be
subjected to age discrimination. Discusses the types of
age discrimination and observes that a changing legal
arena offers hope for the alleviation of this practice.

Ageism
in the Workplace.
[ send
me this paper ]
(5 pp) Action must be taken to correct the serious
situation where a very significant percentage of people
over 50 are economically inactive. There is no bar to
their employment other than an attitude by many employers
that they are too old! And as my Grandfather used to
chuckle in German, "We are too soon old, and too late
smart." The United States work force is starting an
interesting period of time : four defined generations of
workers are all competing for the same space. All four
have qualities that employers are looking for, all four
have liabilities which can be compensated by one or more
of the other groups. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
