the relationship between Seniors mental health and housing

/in /by

This is a serious, scholarly term paper with a minimum of six scholarly citations required. 

Students are required to identify and address an interesting topic that is related to the area of housing and communities for older persons.  Please do not select a very general topic, such as housing for the elderly.  This paper provides students an opportunity to research a specific and interesting idea related to senior housing.  Specific, manageable themes include, but are not limited to, protection from eviction for elderly renters, the future of co-housing, zoning impediments to accessory apartments, better regulations for assisted living, the benefits and risks of reverse mortgages, and the appropriateness of specific policies, programs, or housing types for specific groups (for example, ethnicity, mental and physical capacity, and family composition) or other cultures and countries. This term paper should include an introduction; a review of the literature; discussion of the issues and problems of special significance related to the subject; implications for planning, design, policy, management, and practice in senior housing; suggestions for future research and knowledge building; and a closing rationale justifying the relevance of the topic.  Select a subject that is both of interest to you and that can be managed within the time frame and page limitations of the assignment.

Part 1:

Answer the following questions, from readings, in answer and question format:

  1. Many campus and advocacy groups are currently involved in struggles for a “living wage.” How do you think a living wage should be calculated?
  2. Were you surprised by the casual reactions of Ehrenreich’s coworkers when she revealed herself as an undercover writer? Were you surprised that she wasn’t suspected of being “different” or out-of-place despite her graduate-level education and usually comfortable lifestyle?
  3. Many of Ehrenreich’s colleagues relied heavily on familyfor housing and help with child-care, by sharing appliances and dividing up the cooking, shopping, and cleaning. Do you think Americans make excessive demands on the family unit rather than calling for the government to help those in need?
  4. Nickel and Dimed takes place in 1998-2000, a time of unprecedented prosperity in America. Do you think Ehrenreich’s experience would be different in today’s economy? How so?
  5. After reading Nickel and Dimed, do you think that having a jobany jobis better than no job at all? Did this book make you feel angry? Better informed? Relieved that someone has finally described your experience? Galvanized to do something.

Part 2: Essay Format

In two pages (not including cover or reference pages), write an Essay that addresses your views on low wage workers need for a $15.00 minimum wage in the US, including making an argument for or against the $15.00 minimum wage. Students are expected to cite sources to support arguments and format citations and reference list using APA (American Psychological Association -sixth edition).

As you think about your argument for or against the $15.00 minimum wage, consider some of the following questions:

  • What is a living wage? How much is it today? Is it really a living wage?
  • Why do you think caused the pay gap between men and women and how can we close the gap?
  • What are some of the challenges associated with organizing for increasing minimum wage to $15.00 an hour? Are some of the challenges specific to any low wage groups (i.e., women, young adults, elderly, or people disability, etc.) or industries (i.e., retail, restaurant, or domestic workers, etc.)
