Reflection on Personal Experience
My personal experience with heuristics has to do with stereotyping. I remember I was going to the grocery store at a very late time, almost 11 o’ clock. I wanted to buy some ice cream. I noticed the reflection of a large, black guy in the mirror while I was taking it up. He was wearing a hoodie. I didn’t even want to turn around. It Continue reading...

There are places where people commute or come to that they enjoy because the surrounding of that particular place is familiar to them and it is a place they enjoy being in as well as being a part of the setting, just the aroma of different foods and lines of people alone is more than enough to get the feeling of never wanting to leave that particular place; my public observation takes place at the Southlake Mall. I chose this particular setting because there’s so much to see and so many people that walk around or around in Continue reading...

Researchers use their physical senses to observe people and objects in their natural settings. Thus, observation is a useful approach for collecting data systematically (Creswell, 2013). The previous study focused on the classroom’s photographic view. This study, however, involves the observation of a video segment. Unlike the previous investigation that explored a variety of physical features, this study concentrates on the facial aspects. I use a motion camera to record an interview with my professor. During the exercise, I utilize the interviewing skills described by Janesick (2011). I then sit in my study room and observe the video Continue reading...

The Redbox Business Model

The location of the nearest Redbox kiosk is at 7-Eleven 17922 Bothell Everett Highway, Bothell, Washington 98012. The Redbox business model has been successful due to its consideration of the current business environment in the United States.
Based on the video by Nickels (2011), there are three important takeaways from the Redbox model: (a) starting with a consumer need, (b) step-by-step planning, and (c) understanding of the total business environment. First, there is this understanding of the need to watch movies by the United States consumer base, and associating this need with the business need of partner companies such Continue reading...

Information Retrieval

Information Retrieval
The information source that I used was Olympic Org (http://www.olympic.org/); this is the Olympic Movement's official website. Olympic movement organizes conducts and regulates all the international Olympic sporting events. The events involve more than 200 nations and are held every four years in varying and different cities around the world alternatingly. As such, an information retrieval system is an absolute must for the Website considering that an individual could be seeking information from any of the previous Olympic events or even just about a particular athlete.

Olympic.org provides two means of searching the website, and the primary Continue reading...

In 2014 the police shooting of Michael Brown and the chokehold death of Michael Garner sparked nationwide protests, civil unrests and debates about police brutality, race and the use of excessive militarized force against criminal suspects. Although these incidents were high-profile and extensively covered in the media in the U.S. and abroad, police brutality has been a hotly controversial contested issue for decades (Newburn). From the Civil Rights Movements of the 1960’s, to the Rodney King beating and L.A. Riots in 1991 and the racially inspired police protest riots of 2014, controversy surrounding police brutality is nothing new ( Continue reading...

“The Funniest Leadership Speech Ever!”

A great presentation comes from a well-rehearsed, well written speech. A presentation starts with good content, but the delivery of said presentation is what matters to the audience. Body language, eye contact and the fluidity of the speaker drives a presentation’s delivery forward and gets the point of the presentation across to the audience all while keeping the audience interesting in what the presentation is about. A leadership video posted on YouTube by SpecificDusty showcases the correct ways to deliver an impressive presentation and captivate an audience without ever missing a beat. The speaker in the video incorporates Continue reading...

Reader’s Log:

Of the types of emerging media that we have discussed in this lesson, I think that the increasing blend of gaming and literature is something that intrigues me most. In the early days of video gaming (the 1970s through the 1990s), gaming was mostly a means to an end, with very little in terms of story; now, with the advent of greater gaming technology and RPG elements into the story, there is much more of a coherent, novelistic narrative being found in a variety of works.
One example I particularly like is the Mass Effect series of video games, Continue reading...
