Cognitive changes affect the memory and reasoning of adults. Loss of skin elasticity and diminished muscle reaction are some frequent physical changes among adults. At the late life, social, spiritual, work, and family factors play a critical role. Physical and cognitive changes during adulthood vary from one person to another. At adulthood, senses tend to become less sensitive (Corder, 2019). The decline in hearing and vision is a common physical change at the late stage of human life.

Social Change and Advocacy             Social change is defined as a transformation of the behavior of a community. Social change is characterized by changes in cultural symbols, rules, and mechanisms of society. Social change can be brought by the interaction of a particular community with another community where one community starts emulating the behaviors of another population hence bringing about social change. Advancement in technology and industrial revolution can also result in social change (Faleye, 2013:13). Social change can also evolve from economic and political movements. Social change can bring positive and negative impacts on society. Only social change with a positive influence on the nation should be accepted. Usually, social change destroys something old and replaces it with a new one. It is not necessarily that the new thing being introduced is better than the old one which was in existence, whenever a fundamental behavior in a community is destroyed by social change and not adequately replaced then the space left behind results in malpractices in the society such as drug trafficking and money laundering. Social change is simply…

The level of these inventories always affects the price of petroleum products that can be replicated and affect the inflation of a given economy.

On the other hand, if there is a decline in the inventories is less than what is expected, then there will be a bullish price action on the crude prices.

On the other hand, the oil news reported that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies are considering further output cuts to ensure that it counters the potential squeeze on the…

Models of organizational change Introduction The economic patterns are constantly shifting to meet various needs or respond to the flow of goods and services. An organization’s future depends on its ability to make changes as dictated by the economy. Petrou, Demerouti, & Schaufeli (2017, p. 1767) describes the organizational change as a combination of agents introduced by the management to introduce new behavior among employees in a manner that benefits the business. Despite the potential benefit or organizational change, most companies struggle to adapt to change, especially if it negatively affects some employees. Though there are many approaches to transformation, there is no ideal solution, and thus the selected plan must have an adaptation strategy (Appelbaum, 2017, p. 213). The paper attempts to explain the available models of organizational change and pick the most logical idea. Models of organizational change Lewin, a three-step model: The process of change considers the driving and opposing forces of change. Cameron & Green (2019, p. 104) states that for change to occur in Lewin’s model, the objecting elements must be lower than supporting one.…

Evidence-Based Practice Change Process Discovery of the Practice Issue Advocating for a change in various nursing practices is sometimes met with opposition and may require a lot of assessments and planning efforts. The nursing officer who is driving for the change needs to be well known and involves a lot of evidence to support the change. Examples of evidence include getting information from recommended guidelines such as CDC. Therefore, the recommendation for the change described is based on the evidence summary. An Action Plan must be drafted to carry information and relays it to the staff, should take data worksheet, which coordinates ongoing weekly updates and educates the staff.
