Mrs. Vogel: Video Analysis

Improved Essays
Critical thinking reflection
Watching this video caused a lot of frustration inside me to rise. The way Mrs. Vogel was not being made a priority was extremely unprofessional. I see this every day in my work environment and it drives me insane because of the cues given by this employee. This employee has made this customer feel as though she is not wanted and she is not a priority. There are many communicational cues and behaviors he could have exhibited to make this customer feel like she was a priority and her business was wanted.

During this video, this employee should have first not had open YouTube videos at work, unless he was on break. He should have realized as soon as the customer entered the facility and he should have ex’d out

    Salina was not given an opportunity to speak about what lead her to where she was, but was told of all the services she must complete in order for reunification to occur. She was provided with all of the referrals of the possible places she can go to complete her mandated services. Salina agreed to the service plan, without showing any emotions.

    On one particular case, I reached out and asked the Hearing Office Director (HOD), if she was sure that they wanted to suspend an employee for 3 days. When Ms. Bellinger learned of this, she instructed the HOD to disregard everything I said. After this had happened, I told Ms. Bellinger that that was unprofessional; she replied, “I was unprofessional.” This all happened around February of 2016, shortly after I was hired. I showed this to my peers (Donald Hammond, Glenn Fields, Tim Hicks, and Carmen Morales), and I also showed it to another supervisor within ODAR Ms. Janice Hargrave.…

    In the case of the employee Jeffrey Brian Ziegler the question remains to whether he should have had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the contents of his work computer? I think that as this case presents information which stated, “when the employee were hired, they were told that their computer use was subject to monitoring and that computers should not be used for personal business” this information should have been sufficient enough for Mr. Ziegler to only use his work computer for intended work purposes (Walsh, 2013, p. 619). He should have gained a great understanding for his workplace policy, while using the company’s computer to look up child pornography. The fact that he held a private office still did not make it acceptable for visiting websites that contain pornography. So Ziegler filed a motion to suppress evidence due to how the employer proceeded in gaining the information from his office.…

    Everyone at some point in their life has an issue dealing with self-identity. Whether it has to do with personal beliefs, or losing a loved one, everyone goes through it. We all have a time where we just want to figure out who we really are, and I mean that could take years. I went through that phase most of my years here at Fort. I tried being friends with everyone, and after a while I started to realize that maybe some of the people that I was hanging out with weren’t the best influence on me and on my faith.…

    In the discombobulation of day to day life, all types of people are going to try to knock you down. This hardship was experienced personally by Brenda Roza as she realized that “there may not be that person next to you that's going to speak up for you”.

Having been told throughout her entire life that she couldn’t do certain things, Brenda thought that that being a successful person might be beyond reach to her - impossible.…

Folkways are a type of norm that are not strongly implemented, meaning that to go against this type of norm is not as severe as going against a more. A more is a type of norm that is forcefully implemented.…

    Laura Movie Analysis

    In this film, Laura (1944) we are introduced to a group of corrupt and fittingly shady upper-class social order types. The focus is on particular conventions of content, like themes or settings and/or form, including structure and style (Goodykoontz & Jacobs 2014). This film will be critiqued by the author through the lens of the genre theory (AMC, n.d.). The genre theory allows critics to take a short cut to categorize films. The director woks with the time-period and has a vision and that includes the audience he wishes to engage.…

    Role Play Reflection Before doing the video, I became somewhat anxious at the thought of being on camera; knowing that I was going to be evaluated did not help my anxiety at all. After all, I am an introvert; even at that I love listening to people talk about their life’s experiences, and love to help them resolve their issues whenever possible. This is one reason I am looking forward to learning more about the social work field. I have always been careful at how much advice I offer a person; even more so now, after this class, because I recognize that if a worker is not prepared to help in the proper way she can do more harm than good to all the parties involved in the process. I am also aware that I am a social work student, and that my…

    We have all experienced our fair share of pleasant and unpleasant shopping experiences. Most of these memories from these experiences fade over time. However, some of these experiences are so phenomenal or extraordinary they have a lasting impression on us. On the other hand some of them are so unpleasant or foul that they leave us with a bad image of a once favorite store. I can recall one shopping experience that was horrendous.…
