“Independent” Living at Parkview Seniors’ Apartments
[ send me this paper ]
A 20 page paper presenting an interesting exercise: write of something “psychological” in a detailed and personal narrative describing a setting to which psychological principles can be applied. The paper describes the structure and the people of Parkview, a seniors’ independent living apartment building. Though Parkview does not offer assisted living, it does offer many conveniences of great value to the elderly, as well as the security that so many elderly people find comforting. Residents have their own private apartments, but they have built a community within the building, one that helps others when they need help and provides a rich social life for individuals. The paper uses Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as its psychological base. At Parkview, seniors are free to progress through all five levels of Maslow’s pyramid. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

“Precarious Employment” and Industrial Relations in Australia
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses “precarious employment” in Australia
and how it has served as a means through which industrial
relations have been reshaped and re-defined. Such employment can
be defined as labor that is of limited duration, pays low wages,
and offers few or no opportunities for employee input in policies
or procedures. It ultimately subverts the concept of work as a
means of personal betterment. Precariousness has permeated both
standard and non-standard forms of employment in Australia,
resulting in significant increases in socio-economic deprivation.
Bibliography lists 4 sources.
