Assignment 4: All too often, it is assumed that older job-seekers have obsolete skill sets or are nearing the end of their usefulness in the workforce. However, as noted by Harper & Reschly (2002), older workers can still make a valuable contribution to the workforce and can draw upon their past experiences to lead an enriching and fulfilling retirement after they leave full-time employment. Being sensitive to a client's life stage is essential when recommending the types of work he or she might enjoy, but age should not subsume other characteristics relevant to the counseling process such as "skills, abilities, needs, values, interests, and personality style" (Harper & Reschly 2002). This is also essential when counseling, for example, LGBT clients or clients whose life stages and societal treatment may have been impacted by prejudice -- a counselor should not stereotype an individual based upon his or her social 'category' but should instead...
It is essential that race does not subsume the other aspects of counseling Alex. His struggles are typical of many Americans during trying economic times, rather than a particular product of the black family structure. Alex, because of his background, may feel the need to succeed more acutely than others, given his highly successful father and the pressures of negative societal assumptions. As well as race and class issues, he may feel pressure to provide as a male, particularly an African-American male for his family, given his wife is working. These challenges must be dealt with in a sensitive fashion, as Alex is pointed to a potentially more rewarding future -- Alex must understand that his success and career decisions should be evaluated in terms of his own personal needs, rather than stereotypes that do not have relevance to his…
When exploring different career possibilities with clients as a career counselor, suggesting websites such as the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, which offers information about jobs and general career areas, can give job-seekers an idea of which fields are likely to be expanding and contracting in the near future. The Internet can be a valuable informational resource, but should not be the only resource used by clients.

Alex: Alex is a middle-class, professionally-educated African-American male whose family is suffering tensions because of his recent indecisiveness in terms of his career. It is essential that race does not subsume the other aspects of counseling Alex. His struggles are typical of many Americans during trying economic times, rather than a particular product of the black family structure. Alex, because of his background, may feel the need to succeed more acutely than others, given his highly successful father and the pressures of negative societal assumptions.

These challenges must be dealt with in a sensitive fashion, as Alex is pointed to a potentially more rewarding future -- Alex must understand that his success and career decisions should be evaluated in terms of his own personal needs, rather than stereotypes that do not have relevance to his situation.
A significant amount of the early cross-sectional studies with the DIT examined the developmental indexes of age and education (Rest, et al., 1999). Based on this prior research resulting in 5,714 participants, Rest (1979) reported that the typical DIT score increases every time the level of education increases. In fact the author concluded that Moral judgment was more highly correlated to education than was age. As such, with prior research
Gender Communications The research question examined in this study poses the following question: "How does one person's behavior affect another person's behavior?" Specifically, this study is intended to assess the various mechanisms through which people communicate, both verbally and non-verbally. The study is intended to examine the different methods in which males vs. females communicate, and explore whether a difference in gender correlates with a different approach to communicate. Also examined
Pharmacotherapy for Endocrine and Musculoskeletal Disorders Introduction Thyroid disease is an endocrine disorder, the treatment of which can be impacted by the factor of gender, according to several studies (Klein & Danzi, 2016; Magri et al., 2016; Schwensen, Brandt, Hegedus & Brix, 2017). The thyroid is responsible for producing thyroid hormone which plays a significant role in much of the processes of the body, from how your body burns calories to the rate
Even strong women are feminized in the media and in advertising. Burton Nelson notes, "In a Sears commercial, Olympic basketball players apply lipstick, paint their toenails, rock babies, lounge in bed, and pose and dance in their underwear" (Nelson Burton 442). These are all very feminine characteristics, and women feel they must be feminine not only to fit in society but also to catch a man, and that is
In addition, the researcher note that the relatively small sample size in their study did not allow separate genetic analyses for males and females (Coolidge et al.). Environmentalism (social influence). A recent study by Wallien and Cohen-Kettenis (2008) analyzed psychosexual outcomes of gender-dysphoric children at 16 years and older to determine childhood characteristics related to psychosexual outcomes based on various social influences that may be experienced during the timeframes studied.
Americans judged the Chinese according to the own ideals and customs. This distorted the American view of China was that it was much like the United States in many ways (Jesperson, 1996, p. 8). When China came under communist control, Americans made the error of thinking that the Chinese were just like them in many ways. Regardless of how one feels about the westernization of China and Chinese culture, its
