Future Goals
My life up to this point has been a tumultuous ride fueled by hard work, dedication and determination. A strong love for my country and the furthering of our nation's prosperity instigated my enrollment in the United States armed forces. The insight I gained during my time in the military has reshaped my outlook on life and my personal composition as a man. I have always taken pride in my education and my service experience has allowed me to truly embrace the full potential of my academic aspirations. This enlightening period of my life also blessed me with a new found appreciation for my family by shedding light on the aspects of life that are genuinely important. Additionally, I was able to integrate a new and improved sense of discipline and structure into my lifestyle. As a result of this meaningful implementation I have adequately controlled my spending…...

The challenge for the future of education is to use the full range of Web 2.0 technologies (O'eilly, 2006) and create effective and customizable learning platforms that support individualized learning needs. For an overview of the Web 2.0 ecosystem, please see Appendix A. Social networks and Web 2.0 technologies will be the underlying scaffolding that provides students with the opportunity to get individualized instruction. These technologies will also free up teachers to focus on the most in-need students and keep the most talented of their courses challenged. In this way, each student will have the chance to make the most of their educational opportunities. Hopefully, the majority will emerge with a strong sense of accomplishment from the learning experience.
Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose

The final aspect of the future goals of education needs to center on creating autonomy of tasks, mastery of specific subjects and skills, and a strong purpose to…...

Future of Healthcare as it Relates to the Geriatric Population
Description and Problem Statement

The geriatric population in the United States is growing and compared to the population of health care providers the geriatric population growth is advancing much more rapidly. This presents a problem in making provision of health care to the future geriatric population. While there is a growth in the demand for geriatric health care services, there is not a matching growth in the population of health care providers and in fact, a shortage presently exists.

The population of geriatric patients is experiencing rapid growth while the population of health care providers specifically trained in geriatric medicine is seriously lagging behind. In fact, of the approximately 650,000 medical doctors who are practicing, only a small percentage receives the training and education required to provide geriatric care. Exacerbating the problem is the fact that only three medical schools in the United…...

Future of estorative Justice
estorative Justice

The most common form of criminal justice is retributive justice, which is based on an adversarial system that pits the offender against the victim (reviewed in Brownlee, 2010). In retributive justice, it is the offender's job, so to speak, to proclaim their innocence or diminish the seriousness of the offence. The state on behalf of the victim seeks to severely punish the victim through monetary penalties and prison terms. Both offender and victim are separated physically and emotionally from the very beginning of this process, once the offender has been identified and arrested. etributive justice ignores the Aristotelian principle of responsible agency, because the offender is expected to combat any and all criminal charges.

In contrast, restorative justice seeks to mend the harm caused by the commission of a crime by encouraging the offender to accept responsibility for his or her actions (Brownlee, 2010). estorative justice brings…...

Future eform
Predict the form and function of medical health records in 2030 (provide specific example to support your response).

Models for healthcare delivery are changing, the institutions that deliver it are transforming themselves or being transformed by the marketplace and of course information technology is helping to enable that transformation. Medical technology today is transforming the way healthcare is delivered, managed, and assessed, with a continued shift from the old record management to more of a data management system. As more organizations adopt electronic health records, physicians will have greater access to patient information, allowing faster and more accurate diagnoses. Complete patient data will help ensure the best possible care. Patients too will have access to their own information and will have the choice to sharing it with family members securely, over the Internet, to better coordinate care for themselves and their loved ones.

Digital medical records will make it possible to…...

hat Jonah also made clear to Alex is that the old formula ("economical batch quantity" - EBQ) has "a number of flawed assumptions underlying it (232). And therefore, by using the newer strategy - of reducing batch sizes by 50 per cent - it has meant (233) faster delivery, more sales, shorter lead times, and the ability to increase bonuses because sales are up.

The Future of Nursing Report

"Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health"

The enactment of the Affordable Car Act of 2010 created the opportunity to transform the healthcare system in providing the envisioned higher-quality, more affordable and accessible care for the population (RWJF, 2011). This is the ideal shared by more than 3 million already-committed nurse practitioners all over the country. ut there exist barriers to the realization of this ideal. They stand on the way to the effective and rapid delivery of health care and must be overcome. Two years earlier, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation or RWJF and the Institute of Medicine began a joint assessment on the nursing profession. This resulted in a report, which contained recommendations to serve as blueprint for the future of nursing and realize a common ideal (RWJF).

The importance of this Report lies in the 4 key messages and 8 recommendations addressed…...

Goals for Pursuing a Career in Nursing
Identify and assess personal goals and feelings for selecting a career in nursing.

Nursing is a profession where people have the opportunity to give back and hopefully, make a difference.

Goals and Aspirations Essay

One of the main reasons that selected nursing as my career is because nursing is a profession that is associated with respect and esteem. My goal is to complete my course of study and obtain my RN license and then to practice in a surgical hospital. I hope to continue my education and demonstrate my competencies and skills by eventually specializing in cardiovascular care.

Throughout my career, one of my goals is to remain up-to-date on the nursing and medical profession by continuing my education to stay current. I also hope to join a few key professional organizations that will be centered on my area of specialty. This will allow me to network with…...

National security cards also have the ability to provide useful information and insight to policymakers on which areas of a given country will most likely be the least secure and which pose potential security threats (Ortmeier, 2009). This will also force nations to into strategic identity management systems and taxonomies of how they classify threats to their populations. The use of analytics and big data or exceptionally large and complex data sets, will become commonplace in five years or less as a result of the adoption of national security cards across more nations in the world (Ortmeier, 2009). National security cards will also be increasingly used for managing healthcare, human services and social programs, as the United Kingdom has successfully done for example. The broader implications to the future of security from the use of national identity cards are evident in how advanced forms of security authentication continue to…...

The use of some of mobile technologies will reduce the cost of advertising the products and will provide avenues of communication that are safe and reliable. The increasing number of organizations using multiple-channels builds the pressure for organizations to comply or risk going out of business. It is evident that customers that multiple-channel shoppers spend more that customers that use a single channel (Warrington, et al., 2004).
Consumer demographics and behaviors along with the resulting influence customer relationship development

The use of technology in the field of customer relations management has been changing due to the advances in technology. From the use of customer care representatives roaming the streets, to the use of multi-channel approaches to communicate with customers, the future has a lot in store for businesses.

There needed to be a much greater level of coordination, communication and collaboration for the full benefits of project management initiatives and strategies to succeed. One of the best practices that emerged from the shift to a leadership and organizational basis of project management is the essential role of Emotional Intelligence (EI) as a galvanizing factor of making projects more relevant and accomplished in complex organizations (Clarke, 2010).
Where authoritarian and transactional management leadership had been sufficient for managing projects during the systems perspective era (Kioppenborg, Opfer, 2002) those leadership skill sets were not sufficient for the era of leadership and organizational behavior (Keegan, Hartog, 2004). This fundamental shift in project management perspective also corresponded to a shift in the expectations, need and requirements of a subsequent generation of knowledge workers as well (Keller, 2006). No longer would be authoritarian and transactional work. The entire culture of how projects were…...

Goals Statement couldn't believe my eyes. After all the wrapping paper lie strewn on the floor, I held in my hands the best present I had ever received. It wasn't a Game Boy or a new CD: it was a book called "Chemistry for Kids," and it came with a small lab set. I wasted no time, and immediately set out to perform my first experiments. I felt high as I gathered ordinary household items and watched them change into new forms of matter. My very first experiment was a success, and a practical one, too: I made my very own toothpaste. No many people can say they made toothpaste when they were ten years old, yet with the help of a simple chemistry set and a few materials I found around the house, I experienced newfound joy in my daily ablutions before school.
My homemade toothpaste became a great source…...

Future of Management Trends/Concepts
In today's highly competitive business world, it is important to keep pace with the changes in management trends and practices in order to stay ahead of one's competitors. When every major firm in an industry is just as important and influential as its closest rival, then the winner is not determined by the amount of capital invested or technologies implemented, rather it is the management practices that determine the future of a firm. The better and more flexible one firm's management practices are, the better are its chances of beating competition and emerging a winner.

However a set of good management practices is not enough. To compete successfully, management practices must be flexible and sensitive to new trends and concepts. As trends change and new concepts emerge, management practices must be flexible enough to keep pace with them and management should quickly adopt new trends without any significant…...

Future of Unions in Labor Relations
Unions came about from the struggles and pain that individuals had to go through early on in history. Unions were something that did not spring up overnight, but rather took a great deal of time to develop as individuals began working out for themselves what types of organizations would be the best to protect their rights and ensure that they could not be treated cruelly or unfairly by those that they worked for (Kearney, 2001). The right to collective bargaining took almost 200 years in the United States but today these rights are held in almost every country (Kearney, 2001).

For many years unions were thought to be very important in labor relations. At least, employees have thought so. Much of the opinions had by those who have had to deal with unions in a dispute situation have been less than tolerant of unions and there…...

Texas is one of the strictest states in the country for nurse practitioners who want to open their own clinics, requiring them to find a physician with the willingness and time to follow a complex set of rules. Those rules include requiring the physician to delegate prescriptive authority, review patient charts, make on-site visits or practice within a certain geographical distance of the nurse practitioner. It's a system many nurse practitioners say is unnecessary and burdensome, especially in light of the state's considerable health access problem and the success of nurse practitioners in other states who practice without such direct physician supervision (Krisburg, 2011, p. 1).

In a state where under-service and major disparities as well as a staggering set of predictions about nursing and doctor shortages in the future exists it is difficult to believe that more steps have not been taken to align Texas laws with national examples. Texas'…...
