What are the differences between Leadership and Management? Do you think that a manager
is always a leader as well?
Population Growth: Population growth refers to an increase or decrease in a population over time. It can be caused by natural increases such as birthrates and decreases due to mortality or migration out of an area (U.S Census Bureau 2020). Projections indicate that the United States’ total population is expected to grow from 321 million people in 2018 to 420 million people by 2060 (U.S Census Bureau 2020).
Aging of Baby Boomers: Baby boomers refer to those born between 1946-1964 and make up one fifth of the U.S population (Medina 2019). As this generation continues to age, health care needs will likely increase significantly as well as demand for social security benefits (Civiello & Pezzullo 2017). This could potentially create hardship on resources available since there may not be enough younger generations paying into these systems in order to fund them adequately (Caner 2017).
Immigration: Immigration has always been a controversial topic within American politics but it remains highly influential when discussing diversity in the US (Shah 2011). According to recent estimate, around 43% of foreign born individuals currently reside in this country with majority coming from Latin America while Asia also makes noticeable contribution (Passel & Cohn 2009 ). The influx of immigrants has changed both traditional culture of many regions across the nation creating unique blend customs beliefs which further adds complexity to the already diverse society (Chavez 2008).
Generational Changes: Generational changes refer to differences of values outlooks held in each successive cohort which often reflect experiences had during formative years thus leading to different perspectives on same topics (Fernández-Aráoz 2016 ). For instance, millennials typically have less trust than their parents did towards institutions like government whereas Gen Xers tend to have more pragmatic attitudes about life career choices compared to Generation Z (Baruch & Eckhardt 2017). These subtle yet distinct variations add dynamic nature present all times within society making it ever evolving organism constantly adapting to newer ideas without sacrificing core principles upon which it was built (Kearney 2006 ).
Geographic Redistribution : Geographic redistribution describes the process whereby people move either within countries borders or relocate internationally, impacting demographics landscape being observed at any given moment (Grafenauer et al., 2015 ). For example, Sunbelt states such as Texas and Florida have seen tremendous influx of residents due to relatively warmer climates and lower cost of living yet other states like North Dakota and Nebraska have experienced opposite trend where out migration has become norm (Vigdor 2017). Such shifts create ripple effects in economy and labor market, ultimately influencing the way businesses operate certain areas thus having effect on the overall diversity in the present location (Levine et al., 2013).
1. Planning: Planning involves setting objectives, developing strategies and establishing tactics to achieve desired outcomes. It requires managers to consider all the possible options and identify the best course of action for a particular situation.
2. Organizing: Organizing is an important management function that helps to arrange resources such as people, money, materials, equipment and other assets in an efficient manner. This process includes assigning tasks, allocating resources and creating systems that ensure smooth operations within the organization.
3. Leading: Leaders motivate their team members by providing them with guidance and direction on how best to accomplish specific goals or objectives set by the organization. Leadership involves inspiring team members, communicating expectations clearly so that everyone is on the same page about what needs to be done and assessing progress regularly towards achieving those goals.
By and large, “”In old Greece and Rome, before the approaching of Christianity, perspectives toward child murder, dynamic willful extermination, and self destruction had would in general be lenient. Numerous old Greeks and Romans had no fittingly characterized confidence in the intrinsic worth of individual human existence, and agnostic doctors probably performed regular early terminations as well as both deliberate and compulsory benevolence killings. Albeit the Hippocratic Vow restricted specialists from giving ‘a dangerous medication to anyone, not regardless of whether requested,’ or from recommending such a game-plan, barely any old Greek or Roman doctors followed the pledge steadfastly. All through old style relic, there was broad help for deliberate demise rather than delayed anguish, and doctors agreed by frequently giving their patients the toxins they mentioned.” (Dowbiggin) Despite the fact that doctors in old times made a similar vow to save lives, they actually gave out toxins to kill patients. Some say that the justification behind the doctors’ activities were on the grounds that Christianity hadn’t been laid out yet. Thus, the rule of “Thall will not kill,” had not yet been composed.
“Since old times, Jewish and Christian scholars have gone against self destruction as conflicting with the human great and with obligations to God. In the thirteenth hundred years, Thomas Aquinas embraced Catholic showing self destruction in contentions that would impact Christian idea about self destruction for quite a long time. Aquinas denounced self destruction as off-base since it contradicts one’s obligation to oneself and the regular tendency of self-propagation; since it harms others and the local area of which the individual is a section; and in light of the fact that it disregards God’s power over life, which is God’s gift. This position exemplified perspectives about self destruction that won from the Medieval times through the Renaissance and Reconstruction.” (ProCon.org) Despite the fact that the discussion is normally about doctor helped self destruction, the truth of the matter is that the patients are as yet commiting self destruction. In the event that an individual who is of sound psyche and can simply decide, in the event that they are introducing self-destructive considerations, policing each option to mediate the endeavor. On the off chance that that is the situation with regular individuals, for what reason would it be advisable for it be any unique for individuals who are wiped out and in the clinic. Assuming that equivalent individual who was wiped out was out on the planet, and came dependent upon somebody and requested that that individual assist with committing suicide since they essentially don’t have any desire to live any longer, the individual likely wouldn’t help them.
During the late eighteenth Hundred years, “The dismissal of self destruction and willful extermination stayed firm, even after large numbers of the new states decriminalized self destruction following the Progressive Conflict. Most of Americans dismissed self destruction’s precedent-based regulation discipline… yet regardless of how thoughtful they were toward the self destruction’s family, most Americans halted far shy of excusing self-murder. As late as the before the war period there existed in the US a firm agreement… against self destruction and benevolence killing.” (Dowbiggin)
