· What are the chronic illness trends of each country?
· What is the incidence and prevalence of elderly consumers of long-term care in the United States as compared to your chosen developing country?
· How does each country expect these numbers to change in the next ten years?
· What are the main characteristics of the elderly population in both the countries? Is there any difference in the long-term health care needs of consumers in both the countries? Provide a rationale for your answer.
· Who are the institutional and non institutional caregivers in both the countries? Support your answer with relevant examples. Explain the factors that affect care giving in each country.
· Is there any difference in the status of quality of care of the elderly consumers in the United States as compared to the developing country?
· Is there any difference in the health care cost provided in the United States as compared to the developing country? Define any social support that may exist to cover health care in both countries.
Support your responses with examples.

Basics of the Proposal EssayOverview In the proposa.docxJASS44
Basics of the Proposal Essay
Overview
In the proposal, you are asking someone to do
something despite the obstacle that are in the
way.
A general thesis might be something like:
Although there are these obstacles, X group
should do THIS THING because A, B, C
reasons.
That might mean something like this specifically:
Although it will enrage their allies in Russia, the
Senator Ron Wyden should continue to support
the nuclear missile defense because it is
essential to our security, provides jobs, and adds
stability to an unstable world.
Overview
This proposal must be directed at those who
can do what you want to have done.
This might mean you have to change what you
want done or to whom you are writing.
Because you are asking someone to do
something, your credibility is especially
important.
Excellent sources acceptable by your
audience are essential.
Respect for your audience is key.
Work to build bridges with the reader, showing
common grounds early.
How This Paper Is Different
This essay will not necessarily have a
thesis at the end of the first paragraph.
The guiding principal of the paper is the
proposal.
The organization will change depending
on what the problem is and what you
want to have done.
Formality levels will depend on who is in
your audience.
Topic Selection
You are strongly encouraged to
continue to work with the topic
you worked with in the Debate
essay.
Otherwise, choose a narrow
topic you already know
something about.
Local topics are better.
Choose a narrow topic and limit
it, as we did with the debate.
There is plenty of research to
support even very narrow topics.
Major Sections
There should be four major sections in the
paper.
Demonstration that the problem is a problem
Your proposal
Demonstration that your proposal will solve the
problem
Response to opposition
The organization of these sections and their
development levels will vary depending on your
topic.
It is your responsibility to discern how much is
necessary in each section.
Defining “problem”
“Problem” in this sense doesn’t necessarily
mean something horrible and terrible.
You might think of a “problem” as an opportunity
to do something better.
You might see a way for something going well to
go even better, which would work well for this
assignment.
Demonstrating the problem is a
problem.
Some audiences will readily believe the issue you
are addressing is a problem; some won’t.
Your first task will be to figure out what your
audience thinks of the problem you see.
For example, parking scarcity is generally
recognized as problems by students and college
officials.
Other problems you see may not be recognized by
your audience.
You will have to prove to that audience that the
problem is a problem.
Sources can be used in support of the argument
that the probl ...

2. Sociology Unit 1 – Families and households
Mock Jan 2013
Item 1A
There is a very dark side to human relationships, which is identified and discussed by
interpretative approaches to the analysis of family life. Literature has long demonstrated
how abusive the family can be for some members of the family; particularly for children
and women. Domestic violence is overwhelmingly perpetrated by men against women,
and children are often the victims of abuse and age patriarchy. Some of these problems
are not tackled successfully because of the problems in using official statistics to
understand these offences.
Item 1B
Statistical evidence on the nature of the modern family is unreliable. It seems that people
remarry fairly quickly after divorce, and this means that the Functionalist view of marriage
as an important building block for society has not been undermined. It also seems that
the ‘death of the nuclear family’ as predicted by the New Right may have been
exaggerated. For example, most unmarried mothers register the name of the father when
they register the birth. This may well mean that they are cohabiting with the father. Gay
parenthood is still fairly uncommon, and again, its impact can be overstated.
0 6 Explain what is meant by the ‘age patriarchy’ (Item 1A, line 6). (2 marks)
0 7 Suggest two reasons why domestic violence is still a widespread problem within family
life, apart from those referred to in Item 1A. (4 marks)
0 8 Suggest three reasons for the decline in the death rate since 1900. (6 marks)
0 9 Examine different sociological views on changes in the experience of being in a couple in
the past 50 years or so. (24 marks)
1 0 Using material from Item 2B and elsewhere, assess the view that social policy since
World War II has led to the decline of the traditional nuclear family. (24 marks)
