When you reach Grandma you notice the pain she’s in from her unhealed bed sores. She hasn’t been moved or left the bed in over a week. Grandma needs her dressings changed because blood is seeping through her clothes and it’s starting to stink. If it wasn’t for her constantly visiting family her dressings would never be changed every few hours like they should be. A nurse drops a tray of food on grandma’s nightstand which consists of off brand ravioli, peas, and pears from a can. Grandma takes a few bites and won’t eat anymore saying “it isn’t good.” Grandma’s 94 year old roommate Lizzie asks for help with every meal but the nurses ignore her. Nurses come back an hour after distribution and take half eaten meals to be thrown away. “They don’t know what they’re doing or sometimes they really just don’t care,” said Wendy Meltzer, a nursing …show more content…

Some people believe Amelia Earhart didn’t die because she made a perfect landing allowing her to land on a nearby island. While others believe Amelia was a secret agent working the U.S government which points to her close relationship with the Roosevelts. People suggest that the plane crashed after she intentionally deviated from her course to spy on Japanese-occupied islands in the Pacific.

My own view is that Social Security should in fact be a required tax. Though I concede that not everyone benefits from paying in, I still maintain that it is each generation 's duty to uphold the wellness of their predecessors.

The government planned for taxes to increase as the years went by in accordance with the rise in the cost of living. There was a steady rate of Americans retiring, but the boomer generation was getting ready to hit the prime age of 66 in 2008. With the boomer generation beginning to retire, and the advancements in medical fields, Social Security was destined to make less than what it could afford. CNBC projects the “ratio of workers paying retirees’ benefits would plunge from 16 to 1 to 2 to 1 when the last boomers retire” (Reuteman). Less people will be paying into the program, while more people will be earning their monthly paycheck.

One of, if not the most important issue regarding child welfare is the role parents play in their children’s lives. A major issue facing the protection of children is lack of proper parenting education.
