One reason I say this is because the government says that we get our privacy but we really don’t. The stuff that the NSA does amazes me because it’s hard to believe that some of this stuff is even possible. For example, did you know that they can track where you are at a certain time just by swiping your credit card? They do that by seeing the stores you regularly go to and that can tell them what area you most likely live in. also have you noticed whenever you go to a shopping website or something similar to that, most likely you will see an ad on a website that ad would correspond to the shopping websites you go to.
I am always a few tasks ahead of myself in my mind and very often don’t take the time to ask for clarification, or feedback from others to make sure they understand where I am coming from. In the two examples I provided, lack of feedback was definitely a major cause of the misunderstandings. Just a sentence or two in each case from the receiver quantifying the message could have prevented the misunderstandings from occurring. Instead, I was in a hurry to get that easy task off my to-do list and the customer service rep was probably also in a hurry to get on to her next call and her next order. That is the way life seems to be these days in business.
The power that Wal-Mart holds with CPG’s is crucial. Wal-Mart is able to dictate to these companies how they should price their goods. It is generally lower than the company would like. However, that company has no strong say in the matter because if they want to have the goods in Wal-Mart stores, they have to comply with Wal-Mart’s rules. So, by Gillette and P&G merging, they would have more negotiating power when dealing with superstores like Wal-Mart and Target.
A lot of companies get by this law by only putting the nutrition label on the main box that the individual packages come in stating that the packages are not for resale. So basically they do not want their individual packages to get resold, but what if the consumers just want to know
She stopped to get something to eat and saw her whole group meeting without her, she felt extremely unappreciated and knew the group members didn’t respect her contributions. When Janet missed a meeting to help her boyfriend that shouldn’t have been a valid excuse, Christine said nothing and carried on. The next mishap Janet didn’t answer her phone when Christine tried contacting her. The lack of communication led to misunderstanding between what Janet wanted out of the project and what Christine thought Janet wanted from the project. Christine was a marter and didn’t mind taking over the project and letting Janet be a loafer.
They tried so hard to move away from me I was afraid one of them was going to fall over. So I leaned in and asked the lady “ What kind of candy are you having today?” She looked at me and said “Don’t talk to me weirdo.” I thought wow! People are really as rude as I thought they could be now if I was dressed in my normal tee shirt and jeans I bet no one would have said a word or even looked at me
Those who would disagree with the idea that the panopticon is an ethical form of punishment would argue that it is wrong to leave the prisoners alone. They would have a problem with the permanent solitary confinement. They would argue that the prisoners should be allowed to leave the cell every now and then. They would have a problem with the fact that the prisoners have no privacy because of the constant visibility. They would not like the fact that the prisoners are not allowed to socialize with anyone else because they do not have a chance to make any friends or even help pass the time by just hanging out with someone who is also in their position.
In society there are unwritten rules that everyone instinctively follows, and these are the norms. Norms are, to most people, the things that you may and may not do in public or any social setting. For example, we know that you may not wear swim trunks to an interview or wear your Halloween costume to school. This norm behavior is picked up in life from our family, friends, and the society, and etched into our heads forever giving us the definition of norm. When this norm is broken it will cause attention to it, as if a blinding light has been put upon it, because we are only used to seeing it the way we have always seen it.
There have been situations where customers refuse to discuss their issues with our store with me because I am ‘just a little girl’; consequently, many individuals are humoured by the responsibility I have being in charge of the store at night. Some customers go as far as growing violent and agitated when I inform them that I would be more than happy to handle their problems for them. My male co-worker has told me he has never experienced these types of responses from angry customers. I know that I am not alone in this treatment—many women in management positions face disrespect and leave their homes in the morning afraid of how people may react to their position of power: some women go to the extent of making themselves appear less intelligent or powerful to avoid being identified as the ‘other’ (Raby and
The students ran the school. Plain and simple. No one took the faculty and staff seriously, therefore delinquency has been and always will be an issue. My opinion on whether disobedient youths should be suspended could go either way. I would think yes because if they’re going to distract others with their behavior they don’t need to be there.
