Observation: Supermarket
For my observation I went to a grocery store, as I thought this would expose me to a wide range of people of different ages. Immediately, I noticed many mothers and children in the store. The majority of the mothers wore workout clothes and they were evidently coming from the gym or from home. They often adopted a rather businesslike attitude as they charged through the store, talking on their cellphone or trying to find things on their list. The children would sometimes be asked to 'help' their parent get produce or items off of the shelves. Sometimes the mother would argue with the child about her refusal to get a particular food item or toy.
The mothers appeared to have two different 'strategies' for dealing with children in the...
The first strategy was to use the store as a 'teachable moment' by asking their children questions about the food, helping them make selections (such as between two different kinds of cheeses) and engaging the children in conversation. The other strategy was a 'defensive' mode in which the mother attempted to curtail any possible misbehavior before it happened. I saw some mothers snap at children even before the children misbehaved. "I told you not to even ask for candy, so don't have a meltdown."
While the majority of the parents with children were mothers, I did see several fathers. One of the fathers had a list he was following very carefully. I noticed that the fathers did not seem to have as much of an 'issue' disciplining the children. The children seemed less inclined to whine for candy and Pop Tarts or the fathers were more agreeable about buying treats. The fathers seemed slightly less confident finding the items in the store; moved more slowly (and bought more items); and one of them actually used his cellphone (presumably to call his wife) to ask about what things he should buy. I was initially somewhat surprised that there was still such…
" "We tried to call you." "Why didn't you return my call?" For some reason, not for lack of trying, I nearly always forget to charge my cell phone. It is not that I am anti-technology. I spend too much time on my computer and Internet. There is something psychologically taking place with me and that cell phone. And, it gets me into trouble. When I need to make a
Pedagogic Model for Teaching of Technology to Special Education Students Almost thirty years ago, the American federal government passed an act mandating the availability of a free and appropriate public education for all handicapped children. In 1990, this act was updated and reformed as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which itself was reformed in 1997. At each step, the goal was to make education more equitable and more accessible to
and, so that brought in a whole new perspective. I had never realized the degree to which they were afraid of us and often feel as though - now the situation becomes very life threatening for them. Because often they don't know how to follow the protocol, how to properly respond to police officers. and, so it just supercharges the whole event." The training] gave us an opportunity to ask
Employee Satisfaction And Productivity employee satisfaction and productivity ASTRACT Employee satisfaction directly links to organizational excellence and/or productivity. Maybe… Maybe not… Researchers regularly debate exactly what components contributing to employee satisfaction and the company's and/or organization's productivity. Similarly, employers and employees do not typically agree on the reason/s an employee stays committed to a company or what factors contribute to an employee's satisfaction with the company. During the mixed-method case study, the researcher focuses
She also learns, too late, that the jewels and the life she coveted so long ago was a sham. Hence, the symbolic nature of the necklace itself -- although it appears to have great value, it is in fact only real in appearance, not in reality and the heroine is incapable of assessing the false necklace's true worth. The tale of "The Necklace" conveys the moral that what is real,
