This document discusses the relationship between local politics and everyday life. It argues that feelings of urgency and powerlessness in the face of global challenges can be addressed through greater civic engagement and more conscious decision making in our personal lives. The book explores options for political participation by individuals and communities. It also critiques modern development models being exported globally and argues we must rethink how we spend our time, live our family lives, and consume goods and services to strengthen democracy from the local level up.

Community well-being is a universal human concern that engages the y.docx
Community well-being is a universal human concern that engages the young as well as the aging. However, as we age, the well-being of individuals shifts in need and the focus on policy, technology and where and how we live is often overlooked until the need is critical. How we age and how we take care of the aging is a direct result of our values about individual versus societal responsibility and how the demographic, economic, and political context shapes the types of policies passed and the nature of eligibility criteria. We know the policy-making process is complicated by the fact that the older population is not one political constituency but several, in which race, gender, class, functional ability, sexual orientation, and rural/urban residence and may be greater influencers than age. As noted in your text - Although public spending for older adults has increased in terms of total dollars, it has declined when measured as percentage of the gross national product. More importantly, older adults and their families now spend more on health and long-term care than they did before the passage of Medicare and Medicaid. Autonomy and dignity as we age is a convergence of policies and social interventions that involve individual responsibility as well as community awareness and the willingness and ability to act. Gerontology as a field is at the front of this challenge by translating gerontological research findings for policy makers and the general public as well as advocating at the local, state, and federal levels.
Module 13 Objectives: At the end of this module, the student will be able to:
1. Describe the primary federal policies, programs, and regulations intended to benefit older adults
2. Analyze the historical, economic, and political context that has affected the development of age-based policies / relate these factors to the intergenerational inequity debate
3. List the primary characteristics of Social Security
4. Analyze the benefits and limitations of Medicare coverage / discuss its future stability and solvency
5. Report Medicare and Medicaid as the two major insurance systems for the benefit of older adults
6. Identify limitations of current policies and future directions for long-term services and supports

1. Textbook reading: Chapter 13 Policies to Promote Older Adults' Well-Being

The Physical, Social, and Cultural Environment of Politics
CH 4: Riemer, Simon, & Romance
The Physical, Social, And Cultural Environment of Politics
Politics and political decisions can be understood only in terms of the physical, social, and cultural environment in which a community is embedded.
Propositions
We must learn to live together sensibly or risk dying together in large numbers.
Shared biological nature and biological destiny should inspire respect for our common humanity and our fundamental equality minimizing conflict.
Human needs such as security, acceptance, and recognition suggest the origins of values that provide common purposes, goals, and standards for politics.
Reduction of distance between people has enhanced global interdependence and cooperative patterns of behavior.
Human vulnerability to disaster, both manmade and natural, underscores need for global agreements.
Exhaustion of non-renewable resources and the growth of population highlight the need for global policies.
Global warming and climate change require a global response.
Modern economic life requires policies that ensure full employment, an equitable distribution of income, and mechanisms to protect both workers and consumers.
Worldwide rising expectations is influenced by ideology and technology.
Challenges
Both weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, biological, chemical) and conventional weapons threaten the survival of large numbers of the human species. The challenge is to control the spread of these weapons and ultimately, eliminate them.
Ecological balance is vital. Ecological disaster leads to political disaster. Need to better manage our resources without sacrificing our standard of living, human integrity, or employment and profits.
We have a challenge to adapt the best of our past while embracing change to meet future goals.
We have a challenge to make sure that our economic systems, whether capitalist, socialist, or a combination of the two, serves human needs at the least cost to freedom.
Challenge to balance the needs of the people with the public interests.
Develop policies to meet human needs.
How do we harness the powers of science and technology to benefit humanity?
Challenge to foster creative imagination in all realms to develop a guiding vision of human excellence.
Patterns of Population Growth
The planet today is home to slightly over 7 billion people distributed unevenly across the globe.
Question is, how many people can the Earth hold? This is known as the Earth’s carrying capacity.
What size population can the Earth support without suffering deterioration?
The answer to this question holds serious implications for politics.
Information about national populations when combined with other data, tells us a great deal about national political strengths and weaknesses – and potential power.

Module Four
In this module, we focus on the evolution of the global and virtual (Web-based) societies of the twenty-first century. We begin by defining globalization—what it is and how it has developed through the increased sophistication of telecommunications and large, international financial systems. We then explore the individual's role in global society, and how roles in poor societies differ from those in rich societies. For example, we'll explore how the physical distance between these societies affects individuals' feelings of responsibility and involvement.
We will then investigate a new and growing society that is essentially built on physical distance—the virtual society of the Internet. In our explorations we consider two important questions: How do we interact as individuals in a Web-based society, and how can our knowledge of sociology help us to understand this world better?

What Is Society?
The very definition or perception of society has changed over the last century, as its elements and functions have changed. One hundred years ago, few individuals left the community in which they were raised. Experiences in other countries, even cities, were read about in novels or discussed as tall tales and exciting adventures by those who had the rare experience of travel.
As the twentieth century wore on, jet travel and telecommunications expanded the community we all live in. We became quite familiar with the experiences of those outside of our hometown, first through motion pictures and television and then through the Internet. Cultural experiences were delivered to us through these media and broadened our view of the world and our global society, but these are virtual—not personal—experiences.
Virtual living through the media has become more common in the last decade, and much of our knowledge and many of our experiences are influenced by this virtual world: It influences how we define our identities, develop our opinions, and exercise .

The very definition or perception of society has changed over the last century, as its elements and functions have changed. One hundred years ago, few individuals left the community in which they were raised. Experiences in other countries, even cities, were read about in novels or discussed as tall tales and exciting adventures by those who had the rare experience of travel.
As the twentieth century wore on, jet travel and telecommunications expanded the community we all live in. We became quite familiar with the experiences of those outside of our hometown, first through motion pictures and television and then through the Internet. Cultural experiences were delivered to us through these media and broadened our view of the world and our global society, but these are virtual—not personal—experiences.

Do Linguistics Still Matter in the Age of Large Language Models.pptx
Do Linguistics Still Matter in the Age of Large Language Models.pptxSlator- Language Industry Intelligence
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.role of women and girls in various terror groups

- 1. Polotics and Everyday life
- 2. A passionate defense of local politics in an age dominated by global media empires. Concern over the present state of the world—its tensions and disparities--fosters in many people the uneasy combination of two sensations: urgency and powerlessness. We feel that something must be done before it is too late, but we have little idea of what we as individuals, or as families, or as groups of friends, can possibly do to stem the tide. This book explores the choices we have. It considers the options for civil society, and for the individual within today’s political culture. It offers a strong critique of the prevailing model of modernity in developed countries, a model which is being exported and imposed on the rest of the world. The solution lies in our own hands. We need to rethink the choices we make on a day-to-day basis: the ways we use our time, the family lives we live, the sorts of goods and services we consume, the quality of democracy we are able to exercise. The individual, the local, and the global are inextricably intertwined, in positive as well as in negative ways. Passivity and indifference at the individual level contribute greatly to collective dismay at the condition of the world.
