On Sept. 22, 2012, I had the opportunity to interview Richard at Community Fire Department in MI. Because of schedule conflicts, it took a while for us to finally sit down and talk. I asked him some questions that would give me an insight into what he deals with on a daily basis. Some questions were personal in nature, but were asked for a deeper understanding of what makes a good man as well as a good chief. I arrived at the station and entered into the downstairs meeting room.
Metro rules are to seek work while working for metro you will have to get approval which Petty, once approve he received orders that he will transferred to a new unit. Petty informs Metro that he was being transferred to another department so he will have to take leave absent from his position at metro.

So I always have to go see if he did what I told him to do, and then go in his room and tell him I meant the entire kitchen, and he gets up to do it. When I was growing up if my parents told me to clean the bathroom, they did not specify what exactly in the bathroom they wanted me to clean, so I did not just clean the toilet, I cleaned the entire bathroom. I have inherited that attitude, as well as do something the first time told, so I definitely need to work on my communication skills. It makes me realized that even the most minuscule statements, jobs, or tasks can be misinterpreted if it is not said verbatim, but I still think that in some instances people should take the initiative to do some things without having to be told. To prevent miscommunication from happening, I will make sure that the person I am communicating with has a full understanding of what I mean, instead of what they think I mean.
In some parts of the article he is speaking directly to doctors and physicians when he suggests that they should jumpstart this change in lifestyle by putting up posters in their offices, hand out pamphlets, and use personal persuasion to promote physical and mental health and the benefits of playing in nature. By doing so this could help to eliminate child obesity. Louv also asks questions in the article that directly target the field of education. He asks, “Why have school districts cancelled field trips and recess and environmental education? Why don’t schools have windows that open or show any natural light”(1)?
The movie "Flyboys" portrays stories, inspired by true stories of these American heroes. Throughout the film we are able to identify all types of the literary hero including the warrior William Jensen, the teacher/prophet Reed Cassidy, and the trickster Blaine Rawlings. William Jensen, the archetype of the traditional "pretty boy" is the warrior hero of the film. Tall, blonde, and blue-eyed, this loving family man possesses an anxious attitude of returning from France a war-hero much like his father and grandfather were before him. During the movie he goes through an extended stage of shock which impairs him from flying for quite a while.
I entered the building and used the alcohol hand gel and rubbed into my hands thoroughly and this again is to prevent cross infection and stops staff and visitors bringing in germs and infections into the home which can cause service users to be ill and also staff. I went into to the office and staff member were sitting ready to complete a handover. A handover is essential when working in Health and Social Care as it prepares the staff taking over the shift to be well informed of the service users and any changing needs that may have happened since their last shift. During the handover the phone rang and I got up to answer it and left the handover, a lot of staff had been off with a sickness bug and this made me feel anxious as I knew we would be short staffed. I did not hear the remaining part of the handover but wasn’t to concerned about this as I had missed handovers before to attend to the service users.
Miner detailed their rites and rituals from a purposely ethnocentric point of view which also served the purpose of describing American culture from the point of view of an extreme outsider. He does this by describing every day affairs in the life of the average American as Sacred Practices of the Nacirema people. For example, he disguises brushing teeth as the “mouth rite”, prescription medication as “potions”, which are prescribed by a doctor or “medicine man”, and filled by a pharmacist or “herbalist”. He also describes a torturous visit to the dentist in his description of the “holy mouth man”. f one were to look at the “Nacirema’s” cultural behaviors regarding physical appearance and health without any insight or knowledge of the specific beliefs or values of that culture, they might seem bizarre and even incomprehensible.
His ruse failed when he was forced to show his sanity in order to save his infant son’s life. With no choice he sets off for Troy where he spends the next 10 years. During the war his role was mainly that of an adviser and strategist. He became most famous for his idea to leave a huge wooden horse as a gift for the Trojans. The Trojans brought the horse inside their city walls not realizing that the horse was hollow and filled with Archaean soldiers.
