Case Study: Guthrie Job Corps Center

Decent Essays
When I first came to the Guthrie Job Corps Center I had an allergic reaction to the water. I can’t drink from any of the water fountains on center. I have had to spend about $8 a week on water. The water from Guthrie contains a bit of sulfur in it. At this rate, I will be short on money and water to drink.
The resolution to this problem is simple; I suggest that Guthrie Job Corp Center should supply students that are allergic to the Guthrie water with a water filter. The Aquasana Live Healthy is a great brand of water filters. They’re designed to improve water PH balance, filter lead, and filter asbestos. Please, can you take care of this problem by August 25, 2015?

I decided to split the six people into two groups - the group of people interviewed who live in Italy and the group of people interviewed who live in the United States. This division has allowed me to compare similarities and differences present in the two human service networks. The interviews with the Italian group were made over the phone.…
