The end of world-war II marked the beginning of a new era in this country. The baby boom era began in 1946 and ended in 1964. During this era, 76 million babies were born according to pew research center. The number of people reaching adulthood in the next decade was tremendous. As a result, the country had to adjust to meet the demands and fulfill its obligations to the citizens. Though, the boomers were sophisticated and wanted to impose their views on the rest of the society. Eventually, the country started to experience some changes and the boomers’ influence was propagating in the society. Cheryl Russell, the Editor-in-Chief of America Demographics Magazine and the author of “100 Predications for the Baby Boom: The next 50 years.” In his

Millenials is the name given to the generation who reached adulthood around the turn of the 21st century, they were born during 1975 and 1995 which was the Cold War era. The millennial is given the nickname as the television or digital age. The popularity of television boomed in their time was a result of the Space Race and America's curiosity of what would have been called the impossible. In the 1940's there was only a few tv's but in the-the 1970's the amount of tv's surged to four million plus. The Millenials grew up in a society when the social norm was for an individual to watch tv five hours a day. The United States victory was largely contributed to great communication technology. An example was in the Civil War when President Lincoln would command the military thousands of miles away. What strengthened the Millenial ideology is communication and getting full

40. How do you suppose the demographics of an aging population of “Baby Boomers” in the United States will affect the demand for milk? Justify your answer.

The population of individuals 65 and older is growing throughout the entire United States due to the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. Most projections suggest this segment of the population will double within 20 years. The Baby Boomers started to turn 65 in 2011 and in North Carolina alone, this will mean a rise from 1.1 million to 2.2 million people in this segment. (Kushner) The aging of the population will continue beginning 2030 when the number of people age 85 and older will become the fastest growing segment in North Carolina.

A reason for why there is a higher proportion of elders in rural communities could come from the fact that people of younger generations tend to move from rural to more metropolitan areas once they get older in order to get better education and jobs. Due to the fact that more and more of the Baby Boomer generation are reaching the age of 65 years, if there are elders staying in rural communities rather than leaving like young adults, then there is bound to be an increase in the percentage of elders living in rural communities. Another factor that could account to the higher proportion could be retirement destinations. According to the Cornell Chronicle, by Cornell University, “More than 10 percent of Americans over age 60 relocated, mostly

There are ways that baby boomers are a great asset to the health world. In the health care industry, the average 70-year-old takes about three times more medication than the typical 40-year-old. By the time they are done, 78 million baby boomers will have outlived millions of hip replacements and heart transplants, swallowed tons of Advil and Viagra, and consumed billions of boxes of brand. Which cause for a whole lot of health care spending. Baby boomers are also great when it comes to the traveling industry. In their younger days, boomers were extremely adventurous. Thanks to the baby boomers who in the 1960s and '70s made random student trips to Europe and also to single resort scene to the apotheosis in the 1970s. Especially the posh room

After the end of World War 2, birth rates across the nation spiked. More babies were born in 1946 than ever before with a grand number of 3.4 million! This was the beginning of the so-called “baby boom.” In 1947, another 3.8 million babies were born, 3.9 million were born in 1952,and more than 4 million were born every year from 1954. In 1964, the boom finally tapered off. By then, there were 76.4 million “baby boomers” in the United States (Staff). This made up close to forty percent of the nations population!

non-Hispanic African Americans, who will represent the largest minority group in the Baby Boomer cohort (Frey, 2015). This segment of the Baby Boomer generation is projected to grow to 12 million by 2060. In 2014, African Americans made up 9 percent of the older population, but by 2060, this number is expected to grow to 12 percent (Administration for Community Living (ACL) & Administration on Aging (AoA), 2015).

Wray asserts progressive tax reform as a solution to forecasts of Social Security insolvency as Baby Boomers retire. The complexity of the U.S. tax code is cited as a functional problem lending to an exacerbation future insolvency margins. A tax model based on the square footage of an individual’s living space is among the suggestions that address both evasion and high consumption levels associated with Baby Boomer retirement years. The language in U.S. public political rhetoric is asserted to be an impediment to policy reform.

A 2017 survey interviewed 2000 people about their perception of the American Dream. Interestingly, less than 20% of the participants agreed that they were living the American Dream (Carter). This statistic is shocking in the sense that both Americans and foreigners alike consider America the ideal place to create and follow their dream. However, if you look more closely at the diversity of the generations, you see a collection of emotions about the potential to achieve the American Dream. For example, that same survey found that there are some “notable generational differences.” The survey found that Baby Boomers are sixteen percent more likely

I did my interview with a traditional Mexican family of 11. Their immediate family consists of a father, mother, and nine children. Eight of their nine children lives at home with their parents as one of their children is an adult and has moved out. The father has one living parent and the children’s grandfather is active in their lives. The mother has both parents living, but is not as involved. The family members are active in the Catholic Church they attend and all children have attended a Catholic grade school.

For many elderly, the nursing homes are their only primary option. As American ages with extended life expectancy, more people will become residents of nursing homes. According to report, the aging "baby boomer generation" will demand more long-term care services over the next half century. The number of individuals that will use either nursing facilities or home care services is "expected increase to from 15 million in 2000 to 27 million in 2050" (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2003). This figure will increase as the number of elderly will need such care, "with estimates of as many as 8 million in 2000 to 19 million in 2050" (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2003). The growth of the baby boomer population has brought

“People of Mexican heritage receive a great deal of social support from the family and, whereas Anglos derive most of their status from their job” (Ross, Mirowsky and Ulbrich 1983). Hispanic culture raises its females to care for the house and family. They do this by instilling in them cultural norms of most Mexican women. It is almost and expectation that life should be this way. The man is the supporter and provides financially and structurally for the family while the wife cares for the home and family. “Mexican-American women are also less likely to be employed then non-Hispanic white women” (Ross et al. 1983). Growing up in one culture with two different views can be confusing and liberating. My mother was born and raised in Mexico. In this part of the family, it was expected that women cook, clean and serve the men of the house. The women tended to the father and brothers. My grandfather worked to provide for the family, and my uncle worked to provide for himself, but my grandmother and aunts cooked, did the laundry and waited on my grandfather and uncle. This way of life was the norm for my mother’s family. The same culture somewhat different upbringing was my dad’s family. All of my father’s family was born and raised here. My grandmother was the family glue. She cared for all of the household chores and cooking. My grandfather worked and provided for the family. My aunt and uncles worked and assisted my grandmother, but not expected. My grandmother always stressed
