Abstract
The paper shows how American workers take fewer vacation days than workers in most other industrialized nations across the globe. The paper reveals that the United States is second to last in the average number of vacation days provided for by companies for their employers. The paper discusses how advanced technology makes disconnecting from work more difficult and looks at the phenomenon of those who would actually miss their daily routine and responsibilities at work. The paper discusses how stress, health issues, poor nutrition and family strife are all consequences of overwork and too few vacations.

From the Paper
"For many generations American families planned and carried out annual vacation traditions. During the cold winter seasons families would sit around and reminisce about the treks in August to Uncle Bob's log cabin by the lake. They would fondly remember the annual three-legged race each year at the Jersey shore, or they would remember to mark their calendar for the annual family reunion in July that lasted at least a week and usually two. Yes, those were the good old days, but where did they go? Today, American workers seem to take less vacation time than ever before as they devote their daily existence to their jobs or at the office. In contrast many European nations have held steady to their valued vacations and it is still not uncommon to see them take a month long holiday each summer to frolic with family members."

Satisfied Workers Are Productive Workers, 2006.
This paper examines the results of various surveys as well as a detailed questionnaire which indicate that praise and recognition of a job well done is significantly more important to employees than meeting salary demands.

Abstract
The writer of this paper contends and proves that worker satisfaction goes far beyond salary demands. Recent surveys indicate that the most important aspect of worker satisfaction is recognition and praise for a job well done. This paper stresses the importance of human resource managers in finding the proper mix to garner satisfaction on behalf of the employee while obtaining efficient and productive results for the employer. This paper contains a detailed questionnaire which was used to interview managers and workers in both the service and production industries, as well as the results of the interviews. Based on the results of the questionnaire, there is a remarkable difference between the service industry and a production facility, which are detailed in this paper. The writer also delves into the issues of women, discrimination and affirmative action in the work place.

From the Paper
"The interviews with "ordinary" workers as well as low-level management were conducted anonymously. There was no mention of name, race, or gender. Permission was sought and granted that the results would be shared with Human Resources Management. Unfortunately, as is often the case, less than 60% of the questionnaires passed out were submitted. Time did not provide sufficient availability of the employees for a "sit-down" discussion. Approximately 10% of the questionnaires, therefore, were filled out during personal, head-to-head discussions. One listened as long as the employee/manager was willing to talk. One thing was obvious, a sort of theme running throughout: in a tight labor market, there is far less loyalty to a company than there used to be. Books on the subject bear this out."

Abstract
The paper discusses a company's need to maintain a work environment that stimulates employee interaction and economic growth.

The paper discusses the benefits of both contractor and company run on-site childcare, as well as the ways that the company will succeed in this proposal. The paper concludes that companies no longer only have a competitive obligation to their industry, but they also have a social obligation to the community that they impact.

All-Inclusive Vacations as a Sociological Phenomenon, 2008.
An analysis of the sociological phenomena that are evident with all-inclusive vacations.

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper looks at the all-inclusive vacation as something other than tourism, or travel as it was once known. It shows how these vacations can tell a good deal about what the buyer expects in a culture of consumerism and what capitalists have learned the consumer wants. The paper makes use of critical theory in order to analyze the sociological phenomena that are evident with all-inclusive vacations. The paper maintains that there are things quite wrong with this phenomenon that are explained with the help of critical theory.

From the Paper
"As mentioned, an all-inclusive vacation should protect the consumer from anything to upset previous notions of a place or what a vacation should be about. The all-inclusive vacation keeps consumers within one kind of consciousness that is the one known at home. There is little to promote interest in the place or places to which they travel. The vacationer is a transplanted person able to afford the location and activities that are laid on. Perhaps there will be a comment on what was served for sinner, a sun burn, or a comment on whether or not it is 'safe' to venture away from a resort of other institution in which the all-inclusive package has placed them."

"Irish Dude Ranch Vacations".
This paper is a business plan for "Irish Dude Ranch Vacations," which introduces would-be riders to horses and to Ireland.
2,745 words (approx. 11.0 pages), 6 sources, MLA, £ 57.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper explains that Irish Dude Ranch Vacations intends to unite the traditions of Western riding in the United States with the centuries-old expertise in equestrian sports of the Republic of Ireland to create a unique 'adventure vacation' for Americans, then for Canadians, then Australians, and then the rest of the globe. The initial marketing efforts to European nationals will be much more modest. The author points out that the Irish component will be arranged by contract, and all Irish personnel will be Irish nationals managed by the Irish Riding Centre, which is the first of several intended locations for the vacation packages. The paper states that very little investment is required on either side of the Atlantic, and yet it can tap into a very large and arguably underserved market because, in particular, Western riding, as opposed to European-style riding, is an active sport that can be enjoyed by almost anyone, regardless of physical condition.

"The vision of Irish Dude Ranch Vacations is to make a memorable, exciting, but safe active vacation experience possible for large segments of the population currently underserved in that area; those with less than optimal physical conditions and those who are quite young and quite old. The mission of the company is to introduce would-be riders of all sorts to horses and to Ireland, both of which are extremely spiritual and completely humanizing. The intention of this company is to make a good living for all concerned-including the horses in terms of excellent upkeep and training, and no overuse-and to do it by maintaining reasonable prices that make it affordable for great segments of the global population who might otherwise not get a chance to ride a horse or see an exotic and beautiful country."

Thoreau's Natural Vacations, 2003.
Argues that even Henry David Thoreau, the great advocate of man's "natural" state, was able to stray only so far from the comforts of modern life.
3,728 words (approx. 14.9 pages), 7 sources, MLA, £ 71.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper analyzes the writings of Henry David Thoreau, such as "Civil Disobedience", "Walden", "Walking", and "Ktaadn". It compares his writings with his biographical history to raise the question of whether Thoreau actually "practiced what he preached". The paper concludes that, while Thoreau's philosophical thoughts are interesting, the evidence in his essays does not permit Thoreau to be seen as an example of man?s ability to live in harmony with the natural world, but only as an example of the modern, fair-weather camper. While his writing is deeply meaningful on a philosophical level, on a practical one, it only reveals the struggle between the love of simplicity and the want of luxury.

From the Paper
"Henry David Thoreau, regarded by many as the father of environmentalism, was indeed influential in championing the great interest in nature that led to later movements toward environmental protection. He was the first to notice that the country?s trend toward an industrialist economy was having a damaging effect on the environment and to call his fellow citizens ?back to nature? through his essays, the most influential being ?Walden,? documenting his experiences living in a small cabin on secluded Walden Pond. Through lists of items bought and sold, and accounts of the labor that went in to creating his refuge, Thoreau attempts to prove to readers that it is not difficult to live as a part of nature, instead of struggling against it, and that a man actually needs much less than one might think to survive. However, it is evident in Thoreau?s work that while he undoubtedly believed all that he wrote, and was filled with a desire to go back to living in nature as his ancestors did, he was able to stray only so far from the comforts of the industrialist age. His life and works present a conflict of beliefs and practices, of his yearning for a simpler life and his inability to follow it to its end. In Thoreau there can be found a depiction of the struggle that continues today, namely the conflict between the desire for living purely and simply and the desire for modern comforts. Thoreau was not a man of nature, as his essays urge one to conclude, but a nature connoisseur, returning to it only as a brief respite from the bustle of everyday life."

Knowledge Workers, 2002.
This paper discusses a new category of workers, ?knowledge workers?, who are classified this way because of their close association with information systems.
1,255 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 7 sources, MLA, £ 29.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper explains that anyone who makes a living out of creating, manipulating or disseminating knowledge is a knowledge worker. The paper points out that knowledge workers need not be solely associated with computer related fields as programming or software development but also can be doctors, attorney, accountants, and almost every professional who uses information products or technological tools. The author states that the demand for knowledge workers is rapidly increasing world wide because of the steady shift in the economic structure from industry to information technology.

From the Paper
"Information specialists are quickly taking over most business activities as it was reported that California alone has 25% of the workforce classified as knowledge workers. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics also expects ?a net increase of more than 10,000 information professionals in the U. S. labor force by 2006" (Bender 1998, p. 35). This shows how knowledge is now the most important factor in determining the success or failure of corporations and their workforce. Countries and companies where knowledge is still being treated as a second citizen and industrial power is considered more important are headed for disaster. In coming few years, knowledge will take over all other ways of working because of the rapid advancement in technology and the convenience that brings along."

From the Paper
"The American economy, for the past 100 years, has depended heavily on manufacturing and production. The necessities of the two World Wars spurred these sectors of the American economy. This catalyst soon became a juggernaut that inevitably drove economies throughout the rest of the world. Innovation and having to be at the forefront of the manufacturing and production sectors has put a lot of pressure on concepts and practices of the American methods of doing business. Equally important has been the need to marry production with burgeoning technologies.
Every organization is driven to succeed. An organization?s success or failure often depends on the clarity of its goals and objectives. The management often defines these. (Morgan, 1998) Workers within the US economy are increasingly moving from a pure manufacturing and production based economy to a knowledge-based economy. In recent times, the U.S. economy has grown tremendously, despite the bursting of the tech-bubble in 2000. The growth has been mostly due to the increase in productivity and worker performance. This indicates that managing worker potential can prove beneficial to an organization if it understand how to harness this potential."

Abstract
The paper discusses Walt Disney and his early entrepreneurship and the creativity and imagination that he encouraged. The paper comments on the vacation packages that Disney offers to its various resorts and theme parks which are fully customizable and have helped to develop the "Dream Vacation" theme. The paper discusses the wonderful world of Disney's marketing and the effects that it has on mankind.

From the Paper
"While Disney's marketing is extensive to vacationing families around the world through radio, television, and the internet, the "Four P's" of the company are also on a broad spectrum. The prices for the Disney vacations are so varied that almost anyone can customize an escape to meet their specific needs. Prices vary by hotel packages, the time of the year, meal options, and the number of days to stay. The more days that are purchased in a vacation plan, the less the per-day price becomes. The place of the "Four P's" for Disney World is Florida, while Disney Land is in California. Disney also has other vacation resorts in Japan and France. Of course, Disney promotes its vacations through the various media channels owned, but the primary promotions are through travel agencies and the internet. The product is simply a vacation to Disney's resorts and/or theme parks by customized and individually specified plans. From a one day park pass to a complete all inclusive extended stay, the vacation options offered by Disney are advertised as a "Dream Vacation" that can fit the vision for a family's available budget."

Workers' Compensation Insurance Reform, 2008.

Abstract
This paper discusses current workers' compensation reform. The problem presented in this paper is that although reform measures like Senate Bill 899 have had a positive effect on workers' compensation, particularly to making it more efficient, it has had a substantial effect on the way workers' compensation is done. However, reform also means that the workers' compensation practitioner has to make internal adjustments. This paper first presents an overview of the specific changes created by Senate Bill 899 and, second, makes specific recommendations as to practice changes that the workers' compensation practitioner will have to abide by in order to continue to have a profitable and compliant workers' compensation practice. The paper focuses only on the changes created by Senate Bill 899 as they effect the attorney and practice of the plaintiff's side of workers' compensation.

II. Overview of Senate Bill 899
III. Effects of Senate Bill 899

B. Financial Impact
C. Retraining Issues
D. Penalties for Noncompliance
IV. Conclusion

From the Paper
"Senate Bill 899 was enacted as a means to attempt to save jobs, reduce the costs of carrying workers' compensation insurance for employers, and improve the overall care available for the injured workers. The law was passed by the legislature with overwhelming, bipartisan support and was signed into law on April 19, 2004 by Governor Schwarzenegger. In summary, the reforms provided by Senate Bill 899 focuses primarily on controlling the ever-escalating costs of medial treatment. At the time of the bill's passing, medical costs accounted for fifty-one percent of every dollar and indemnity benefit, which accounted for forty-nine percent of every workers' compensation dollar spent. These expenses had all significantly risen over a period of less than ten years. For example, in 1997 it was estimated that California employers paid a total of $3.4 billion dollars in indemnity costs. By 2003 this number was at an estimated $5.8 billion. In 1997 an estimated 2.6 billion in medical costs was paid, whereas by 2003 the number had increased to $6.1 billion. Finally, the total costs spent by all California employers on workers' compensation (indemnity, medical, etc.) was at an estimated $8.3 billion in 1997. By 2003 this number was at an estimated $26.7 Billion. It was this problematic trend that Senate Bill 899 was aimed at reversing, or at least controlling."

From the Paper
"The CSCI's proposal calls for a CSCI "take over" of "the Independent (Panel) Stage of the complaints procedure from local authorities" which would, according to the BASW, "introduce a conflict with the regulatory and inspection roles of CSCI..." (Johnston, 2004). The impact of this proposal, if enacted, would be "increased delays" in the resolution of complaints and an "escalation in the number of complaints." Therefore, a good social worker should give input to this complaint revision procedure, since it may well affect every professional in the field at some point in time. Indeed, a good social worker is an investigator, and an avid reader, trying hard to keep abreast of all the issues surrounding the field. "

"Substance abuse in the American workplace is an enormously expensive and growing problem today. According to Pace, Smits and Youngblood (1992), there are literally billions of dollars being lost in terms of productivity, as well as an incalculable amount of human misery and the erosion of world preeminence in the marketplace as direct or indirect consequence of workplace substance abuse. These authors report that properly designed and managed EAPs have demonstrated a significant, proven, and much needed role to play in the prevention and the treatment of workplace substance abuse. "Yet there are only about 10,000 EAPs in existence today in the American workplace, covering perhaps 10 percent of the work force" (Pace, Smits & Youngblood, 1992, p. xvi)."

The Social Worker Counselor, 2008.
A look at the delicate and complex balance of power between a social worker and her client.
1,795 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 3 sources, MLA, £ 39.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper relates that there is a delicate and complex balance between the social worker's power and the right to self-determination of the client. The paper then discusses and examines this power imbalance and looks at how such power imbalance between the social work and client implies certain responsibilities on the part of the social worker. The paper also demonstrates that the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Ethical Standard 1.02, i.e. Self Determination, implies that the social worker has some responsibility to empower the client so that the client is able to achieve self-determination. In addition, this essay also discusses a situation in which the social worker may be relatively powerless, as well as situations in which it might be prudent for the social worker to restrict the client's right to self-determination.

From the Paper
"For example, the social worker should not try to dissuade a woman from becoming involved with a particular man on the basis that the social worker believes this man is not a good influence and should not be around the woman's children. In particular, if the social worker implies to the client that the social worker will withhold certain benefits from her if she does become involved with this man, this would constitute abuse of the social worker's power over the vulnerable client."

The American Dream and Migrant Workers, 2005.
A look at how the plight of migrant workers today seeking the American dream has not changed since their depiction in John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath".

Abstract
This paper contends that, although advancements in technology and progress in legislation to protect workers may seem to ease migrant workers' hardships in the United States, migrant workers today are no better off than those depicted in "The Grapes of Wrath". It discusses how the mindset of the men employing migrant workers today has not changed from that of those who employed migrant workers more than sixty years ago.

From the Paper
"Much of the hope of migrant farm workers in The Grapes of Wrath lay in the pursuit of the "American Dream." As Wilson said, "Why, jus' think how it's gonna be, under them shady trees a-pickin' fruit an' takin' a bite ever' once in a while...I bet a fella could have a place of his own." (201) The migrant farm workers were only seeking comfortable lives and relatively good wages to sustain those comfortable lifestyles. They were looking for equality and fairness for themselves and for their communities. An example of their seeking fairness and equality was when a large group of people were on strike at the Hooper ranch in Pixley, California. Their wages had been reduced so much that the workers could not survive, so they bravely initiated a strike."
