s you may know, the Baby Boomers, those persons born between 1946-1964, are beginning to reach age 65. This clearly has implications for entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare. There will also be an increased strain on our healthcare system.

Research tells us that many families provide care for aging adults within their own homes due to the very high cost of placing older adults in institutions. 76% of all informal primary caregivers for older adults are women. In fact, data indicate 1 in 4 ladies in this class may well spend more than 10 years caring for an elderly family member.

Have any of you experienced this situation in your own families? Would you be willing to care for an aging parent or perhaps spouses parent?

What do you personally believe is the most significant aspect of the “graying of America”?

Please post your comments to any of these questions to this discussion thread.

Basic guidelines

 

1. Major posting (short essay) of a minimum of 300 words (preferably 500-600 words) answering the questions stated in Online Assignments for this unit.

CHAPTER OVERVIEW

Chapter 6

Focusing on the experience of Native Americans in the United States, this chapter discusses the history of their subordination by Europeans. Schaefer explains the development of policy towards Native Americans, which usually focused on relocation and assimilation. This chapter also explains the growth of pan-Indianism that serves to unite the many diverse native cultures in addressing the issues that affect them collectively. It also discusses the role of sovereignty in Native-American tribal self-rule.

———————————————–

Learning Objectives

1. To learn about historical interactions between Europeans and Native Americans.

2. To learn about the history of legislation targeting Native Americans.

3. To understand how federal policies affect life on reservations.

4. To learn about pan-Indianism and how Native Americans today address issues of economic development, education, health care, religion, and the environment.

5. To understand the role of sovereignty in Native-American tribal self-rule.

CHAPTER 6 � THE FIRST NATIVE AMERICANS

In this chapter the history of relations between Native Americans and the White settlers and government is explored. Federal policies, which followed decades of open warfare, stressed assimilation to the point of forcing Native Americans to leave their homelands and abandon their cultures. This internal colonialism continued well into the 20th century. While late 20th century policies contained some elements of recognizing tribal self-rule, the government continued to design paternalistic policies for native peoples even when they conflicted with what the native peoples themselves wanted.

The diversity of the Native American people in terms of tribe, urban versus rural, reservation v. non-reservation, and degree of mixed ancestry may be without parallel to any other subordinate group. Not unexpectedly, such a diverse people respond to their unique position in a number of different and sometimes contradictory ways. Resistance through collective action is found in pan-Indianism in the form of social protests and cultural protection.

The continued conflict between the dominant culture and Native Americans into the 21st century is seen in land rights, tribal hunting and fishing rights, environmental justice, economic

Lecture Notes

Removal Act, 1830

What was the goal of the Indian Removal Act of 1830?

The Indian Removal Act and the “Trail of Tears” ware examples of forced migration of the Indians to the west.

Reorganization Act 1934

Case Study

Question 1

One of the advantages of working in a team is that there would be job division. Working in a team creates an equal division of work instead of looking at the entire project individually. Thus, each individual is expected to deal with a given aspect of the project when working in a team. Conclusion: there are smaller jobs that need less effort and time to complete; thereby, working in a team helps in significantly reducing workload. Working in a team also has the advantage of having shared responsibility in cases where things are wrong. If the project fails, a team will stand with one another by taking joint responsibility and avoiding pointing at one individual for the blame. The best teams are usually the ones that show firm unity regardless of whether the project goes wrong. When working in a team, every member is offered their aspect since only having everyone providing their best may make the results pleasing. This makes individuals in a team understand that even minor mistakes can cost the entire team. Working in a team has the advantage of acquiring a new view. When individuals work in a team, they may learn to look at different things from new perspectives. This makes members of a team learn new ways of performing given tasks. Working in a team is also associated with enhancing communication skills. It is essential that each member consults and communicate with others to ensure that a given project becomes successful. Through better communication skills, every team member does not develop negative feelings about the given decision made, making individuals in a team reach an agreement. Working in a team also has the advantage of allowing one to play to their strengths. Given that there is an equal division of work, a member may concentrate on any part of the project that they believe they may handle. Through working in a team, one gets to decide on the parts of the project they think they are comfortable handling.

One of the disadvantages experienced when working in a team is that team members may indulge in a blame game whenever things in a project go wrong. In many times of crisis, many members may quickly start pointing their fingers at others and indulge in blaming others for mistakes done. The other disadvantage is that various members may have unequal participation and involvement. It is not easy to work on a team’s project where members do not offer their best efforts. Working in a team has the disadvantage of having certain members developing desires of outshining others. When individuals in a team begin putting their individual needs before the team’s needs, the team is more likely to function inefficiently.

Question 2

The team requires including both clerical assistants and professionals. The most likely team roles are facilitator, leader, detail recorder, creative thinkers, and specialists. Including both clerical assistants and professionals is essential since setting up a work team to handle processing and sales of insurance claims needs these positions to solve any problem related to each work.

Question 3

Unlike the traditional organization comprising of a manager who manages the office and oversees every worker, forming a team will have the power to no more extended focus on the individual managing the office. The power will be divided among every member of the team, which will offer workers substantial autonomy, which may drive success and innovation in the company.
