In Taking a Stand Against Ageism at All Ages Margaret Gullette (2011) dives into ageism and the effects it is having on society. Her stance is that U.S. society is pushing out older individuals claiming they are “useless”. She also mentions that middle aged people are starting to experience ageism at work as well due to U.S. society being obsessed with youth (Gullette, 2011). Gullette (2011) states in references to older people, “people are likely to be a “burden”, unworthy of resources.” This statement reminded me of the activity we did during the graduate school interview where we decided who should be chosen to replenish the Earth.…

Red tides have been an ongoing environmental problem for our ocean waters wildlife. Red tide is a phenomenon caused by harmful algal blooms that occur when colonies of algae (simple plants that live in the sea and freshwater) grow so numerous that they discolor coastal waters (resulting in the name “red tide”). These large algal blooms of toxic producing dinoflagellates (single-celled organisms that are able to form nutritional organic substances from inorganic substances) may diminish oxygen in the waters, block sunlight that other organisms need to live and release toxins that are harmful to the health of the environment, plants, animals and humans. Main poisoned organisms that cause these blooms in the United States are Alexandrium fundyense,…
Every high school senior is given certain "privileges" that the underclassmen are not. There have been complaints about whether or not seniors should be entitled to these privileges or not. The answer to this complaint is, yes, seniors are very entitled to their privileges. The expectations for students have increased considerably over the years, making reaching senior year less common for students than it used to be. Any student that has been able to withstand the stress of high school for 4 (or in some cases more) years is more than entitled to a few privileges. The privileges themselves are not anything huge in the first place. The seniors are dismissed a few minutes before the underclassmen before their lunch and at the end of the day. They are also given up…

No matter my assignment, regardless of rank, I have always made a positive impact in this agency. I solve problems ahead of deadlines. I explore options that are unconventional. I do not believe in holding on to traditional methods for the sake of tradition, nor do I embrace change merely for the sake of change. I believe in doing what works best to solve a problem while remaining responsive to what other issues our solutions may create. I believe we are all part of a team, and as a servant leader, I must do my part to model the way for others while enabling them to fulfill their roles. I understand that our agency is part of larger community and embrace the idea that we are here to serve that community. I feel that no matter where I am…
L., 2008). For example, matures have a wealth of knowledge and tricks of the trade that younger workers need. They are widely known for their fairness and mediation abilities. Younger workers are technology wizards. They hold clues to future workplace, marketing, and business trends. It could be practical to introduce job sharing and mentoring programs within organization to facilitate the transfer of knowledge from one generation to another. It could be done by implementing and/or increasing coaching/mentoring efforts for management and non-management level employees, as well as to increased job/workplace expectations training for new hires (Mask, D. 2011).…
Seniors often feel like they aren’t listened to by the younger generation. As explained here, a young inexperienced worker is being advised by an older, but more experienced worker on how to work with heavy machinery on the worksite but he ignorantly dismissed his advise. 10 minutes later he came back to him and said to him, “will you teach me how to work with heavy machinery?”…
