Toronto is one of the most popular cities in North America and is Canada’s economic capital.

/in /by
Description

Introductory Paragraph

Hook –​ This year, Canada accepted some 300,000 immigrants with a record number new

immigrants (117,000) settling in Toronto.

Background -​ Toronto is one of the most popular cities in North America and is Canada’s economic capital.

Thesis -​ Toronto is the best city for an immigrant to move to.

Supporting Points

  1. Foreign-born people make up nearly half of Toronto’s population.
  2. Large community of various ethnic cuisine.
  3. An abundance of entertainment opportunities.

Body Paragraph #1

Topic Sentence -​ In Toronto, foreign-born people make up nearly half of Toronto’s population, which is 6, 082, 425.

Evidence -​ The racial composition of Toronto is 50.2% white, 40.5% East Indian, South Asian, Black, Etc., and 9.4% is Latin American, West Asian, Arab, Etc.

Explanation -​ In a city as large as Toronto, different races and cultures are guaranteed to be seen each and every day. Having 20+  cultures in one city is an amazing accomplishment.

Body Paragraph #2

Topic Sentence -​ Toronto has a large community in relation to great cuisine, and a night you are not going to forget.

Evidence -​  Three amazing restaurants in Toronto go by the names of “Mysteriously yours,”

“ Medieval Times,”  and “ Copacabana Brazilian Steakhouse.”

Explanation -​  Each of these restaurants provide a different outlook on entertainment from different eras. Mysteriously Yours provides a fun murder mystery during your 3-course meal, at Medieval Times, you enjoy an exhilarating jousting tournament while chowing down on a 4-course meal, and at Copacabana Brazilian Steakhouse you are seated and treated to a show performed by samba dancers and gymnasts while enjoying a buffet-style meal.

Body Paragraph #3

Topic Sentence -​ There are countless entertainment options to see right in the heart of Toronto.

Evidence -​  Three popular entertainment options in Toronto is the CN Tower, Ripley’s

Aquarium and the Toronto Zoo.

Explanation -​ At the CN tower you can climb all the way up to the top and have dinner over a breathtaking view of Toronto. At Ripley’s Aquarium, you are exposed to over 450 species of sea and freshwater aquatic life and at the Toronto Zoo, over 5,000 animals are being protected on over 700 acres of land.

Counterclaim – There might be an abundance of entertainment in Toronto but it comes at a high cost.  Toronto is becoming increasingly unaffordable for an immigrant family to visit any of the high-cost entertainment sights.

Rebuttal –​ It is true that entertainment in Canada’s largest city can be expensive, but it’s good to know that many of Toronto’s world class museums offer free admission during certain days and hours.  There is always the world-famous St. Lawrence Market and Kensington Market where browsing is free. Also, Toronto offers many options for getting back to nature with walking and hiking trails.

What influenced your decision to choose this country?

/in /by
Description

Name: Jordan Zhao                 Country Selected:  Hong Kong

  1. Rationale – why will you research and profile this country?  What influenced your decision to choose this country?

I chose Hong Kong because of several of its uniquenesses:

–          Hong Kong isn’t actually a real country (It’s a self administered region of China), and there are some political upheavals that are going on that could affect its population because in my opinion it could provoke immigration outwards (or possibly allow mainlanders to move in)

–          Hong Kong is well known for its high average life expectancy, amongst the top in the world

 

  1. Situation Analysis- What do you know right now about this country’s age demographics? What do you need to find out? What resources will you use to analyze this country’s situation?

I do know that Hong Kong’s average age is quite high, over 40 (43.2 to be exact).  But I do not know anything beyond this such as distribution of population by age groups (such as what % of population is over the age of 60 for example).

I also would like to know the fertility rates (and avg birth vs deaths rates).  Additionally I want information regarding the workforce, such as unemployment numbers, average salary, retirement age, average savings, property ownership, etc, all of which would be important to put together a holistic picture of what’s going on in Hong Kong.

The sources I will be utilizing would be Hong Kong government’s data such as those on their labor force, and census.  Secondly, I would be checking any academic papers I can find on the internet, as well as those that could be published by reputable news organizations and consulting firms (Such as McKinsey).    I likely will be gathering the data first and possibly changing my thesis once I make sense of the data.

  1. Problem / Topic Statement – Write several sentences describing your understanding of the assignment, and what the central topic of your case study will be.

 

My understanding of the assignment:

Background:  In developed nations such as those in the West (and Hong Kong has historically been considered a developed country) that due to falling birth rates and increasing life expectancies, that a there will be a problem in the future where there will be significantly less people of working age, i.e. 25-59 (or 64) years old.   This poses significant challenges as society will need to cope with a shrinking workforce that will be asked to do more in terms of contributing to providing social and medical services (and social security) for a growing population of seniors, and facing possible GDP decline.  Our assignment is to propose intervention strategies to the government on how to meet these challenges in the future.

 

Central topic of my case study:  My case study will be focused specifically on Hong Kong, which falls under one of the countries that is imminently facing this population aging problem.   I am going to work on finding several root causes from the past that has made Hong Kong a risk for reaching the population aging crisis sooner than say Europe or North America.   I will also look at the future and try to propose to the government (and possibly industry CEOs) on mitigation strategies or fixes, both from an economic and policy perspective.

 

  1. What questions will you try to answer in the case study?

I will be pouring through data that will likely lead me to ask additional questions so I won’t know precisely what questions to be asking but here are some major ones that I am thinking of right now:

 

–          The basic question of why there are lower fertility rates in developed countries such as:  Economic reasons?  Cultural change in not wanting to have kids?  -> I would also like to see if we can address the problem of low fertility rates in any meaningful way

–          Hong Kong specific issues that could meaningfully even further impact both fertility rates negatively, as well as moving Hong Kong into a population aging crisis mode sooner than the West

–          What other developed countries, if any, have done differently policy wise that could be implemented in Hong Kong (such as changes to immigration rules)

–          If there are no real meaningful ways to prevent Hong Kong (or the west for that matter of fact) from moving into a situation where a significant percent of the population is over the age of 65, then looking at mitigation strategics to cope with this such as increasing retirement age, reducing pensions, increasing taxes, etc.

 

  1. What concerns do you have with completing this assignment?

 

I have two concerns.  1) Not knowing the expected word limit or minimum word count. Ideally if we can get some direction on this that will be great as this will help me to figure out how much details I would be going into (or not needing to go into).  2) I suspect there is no meaningful way to really solve the population aging issue, otherwise there would have been plans by governments all over the world already.  Thus, what we would be proposing in a student assignment would be long shots.   Thus I wonder what % of our case study would be going over what we learned from research versus actually doing a proposal.  Some guidance on this will be great.

Have women really fallen deeply to society’s image of beauty? 15 years ago, significant number of women started facing issues that greatly affected their mental and physical well-being.

/in /by
Description

Have women really fallen deeply to society’s image of beauty? 15 years ago, significant number of women started facing issues that greatly affected their mental and physical well-being. The essay “The Slender Trap” by Trina Piscatelli in 2004 highlighted the effects of anorexia nervosa to the body and how a person ends up with the disorder. Society had pushed women to become so concerned about their weight that resorted to unhealthy eating patterns. Young women were found to have the desire to please people around her and craved for positive remarks that they end up depriving themselves of food. This may not be the case anymore today. The article is unsubstantial at present as women have become empowered and media now uses their strength to further positive body image making the author’s main points irrelevant and inaccurate.

Back in the year 2004 at the time of the author’s writing, there was an alarming number of cases of young women belonging to middle and upper class families in westernized countries who practice starvation as means to gain control of their weight to feel good about themselves (Allen, Byrne, Oddy, & Crosby, 2013, p. 118). Back then, thin physique was associated with success, beauty and happiness. The author talked about eating disorders, particularly anorexia nervosa and how it is affecting young women as influenced by mental challenges in the adolescent stage, pressures coming from family and friends and a probable effect of the media portraying unrealistic body images (Dynes, Norton, & Green, 2019, p. 129). The author expresses that in order to reduce the likelihood of having inferior-feeling and unhealthy women today and in the future, we must promote healthy lifestyle and positive body image by engaging in campaigns that take women out from self-inflicted physical harm just to obtain a slim physique.

 

The author’s argument is not as relevant as it was back in the day. In 2004, media had widespread misuse of their power in promoting unrealistic and unattainable body models which made women feel so distraught about themselves. A lot of women were vulnerable enough to give in to what media and society tells them to be like thus manifesting harmful physical symptoms. Media, in today’s age confer acceptance of all body types, thick or thin. The media has now become a significant tool to spread about body positivity campaigns and used the hashtag #positivebodyimage in social media to raise awareness, promote healthy eating and exercise habits and feature diverse body types with uplifting messages (Wegenstein & Hansen, 2006). Young women who may have potential or have had unstable mentality are now able to stand up and be heard; they are getting all the support they need.

My Top 3 Career Choices

I always knew I wanted to do something that involves helping others because I am a caring person. Growing up I had a couple of Medical Assistants and RN’s in my family. That was motivation to me. As I grew older and along the years my career choice also changed. I still knew I wanted to be in the health care field that never changed. I just became uncertain about what I wanted to pursue a career in.

Growing up whenever I was asked “what do you want to be when you grow up?” My answer was always “I’m going to be a nurse.” A nurse is a licensed professional that provides health care to individuals. Nursing duties include checking vital signs, administering medication, physical exams and providing patients with health information. Nurses are employed in clinics, hospitals, schools, home health care, offices. By the next decade, the career growth is projected to increase by 16%. Degrees for nursing includes (BSN) Bachelor of science in nursing degree usually takes 4 years to complete. (ABSN) Accelerated Bachelor of Science in nursing usually takes 12-18 months to complete. Associate degree usually takes about 2 years to complete.

It was not until after high school when I decided to pursue a degree in Dental Hygiene. Although that is a major goal, I still have set for myself the timing is not right. Dental Hygiene program is an associate degree which takes about 3 years to complete. Dental hygienist are healthcare professionals that work independently alongside dentists to provide oral care. There are specialized in training to prevent and provide treatment for oral diseases. Dental hygiene roles include periodontal debridement, prophylaxis, applying dental sealants. Dental hygienists’ employment is projected to grow 6% from 2019-2029.

Dental Assistant was the next step for me. I had to ask myself why to pursue a degree in something else when your main goal is to be a Dental hygienist? My plain is to work my way up in the dental field. A dental assistant supports a dentist in providing more dental treatment. Their roles and training differ them from dental hygienists. Dental assistant roles are passing instruments, preparing patients for treatment, and taking x rays. Dental assisting programs can take between 9 months to 2 years to complete and that depends if it is a certificate, diploma, or degree program. Employment is projected to grow 7% from 2019-2029.

In conclusion I will be applying to the dental program. I am ready to learn the skills and training for dental assisting. I feel though my decision to apply for school again was the best and perfect timing. Although my other 2 career choices are great as well, I know this one is a better fit for me. My goal is to perform well in the work environment and succeed my roles as a dental assistant.

Leo is a 42 year old man with Down syndrome. He has a supported living tenancy and shares his home with one other person.

/in /by
Description

Part 1: The Case Studies.

1. Leo is a 42 year old man with Down syndrome. He has a supported living tenancy and shares his home with one other person. Leo and his housemate receive support from a provider during the day but not in the evenings and at night. Recently Leo has been frequenting a local pub where he has made friends with a group of men. He has become involved in their business and delivers packages for them during the day for which he receives a small amount of money. Leo does not know what these packages contain but believes they are washing machine spares. Leo’s support staff have spoken to him about these activities and have told him that he must stop. They have tried to ban him from going to the pub. Leo says that the men from the pub are his friends and he can do what he likes.

2. Mrs B has been admitted to hospital following a fall at home. She is 85 years old and lives on her own. Up until this point, she has managed independently with some support from her daughter (who lives 50 miles away) and her neighbours. The fall has resulted in a marked reduction in Mrs B’s mobility and currently she is unable to weight bear, requiring full support with her personal care needs. At times she is also getting confused. Mrs B has been assessed by a physiotherapist who feel that the best option would be for her to move into a nursing home. Mrs B’s daughter supports this recommendation as she feels that she would not be able to offer her mother the support she needs if she returned home. However, at this stage Mrs B has not been assessed by a social care worker and there is the potential for her needs to be met at home with a package of care. Mrs B has stated that she does not want to go into a nursing home.

3. Susan is a female aged 45 who lives in her own rented accommodation. She has a support worker who visits a few times a week. Susan has a moderate learning disability, she has good practical skills that enable a high level independence. Susan has a wide range of coping strategies developed over the years and is able to communicate verbally. Susan has been married twice (widowed and divorced). She has one child who is in permanent care with no contact. Susan grew up within a dysfunctional family. Historic concerns of grooming and sexual abuse from older males within the family have led to an acceptance by Susan of unwanted sexual relationships and tolerance of violence. Susan has family living locally but were unable to be considered a protective factor. Susan has recently disclosed to her support worker that she has been sending pictures of herself to strangers online.
