Starbucks is a nice very comfortable place to relax and be able to accomplish anything especially work from a college, they have a big space with large tables for anyone to enjoy their free time but again those tables are taken by the medical students early in the morning and they stay until late afternoon. Again besides the two big tables they have four small single tables, also they have four couches and the most important part of any coffee shop the front counter where you place your order.

I never heard any bad complains about any of them. The only bad controversy that I heard it’s about the red cup from Starbucks, which right now is a big controversy over their red cup, it’s very simplistic-an ombre from bright red to dark cranberry. In a personal opinion I think people has too much free time to waste and they don’t have anything else to do but make controversy over nothing, a red cup means “nothing” if Starbucks choose the cup for the Christmas holidays them let them used people should be concern on what it’s going on the world like the killing of innocent people in France, Syria and other parts of the

    Reading Task Chapter 2: Sociological Research Methods The second chapter of The Real World by Ferris and Stein distinguishes between the different research methods sociologists use and outline their advantages and disadvantages. Although the methods are also outlined in great detail, I feel that the thought of the benefits but especially downsides of the methods is of crucial importance in that chapter. Sociology, although sometimes looked upon more as a humanity than a science (which I personally feel is unjustified), is an academic field that uses the scientific method in order to gather and interpret data. Even though people tend to feel reduced and dehumanized by being labeled as ‘data points’ the study of societies is in many ways similar…

    Anyone who has spent a prolonged period of time in the wild and has enjoyed the experience of observing the world in it’s natural habitat can see the importance of preserving our wildlife. In Jimmy Carter’s attempt to save the wildlife refuge in Alaska he uses reasoning, evidence, the past, and personal experience in the wild. Carter argues that preserving this extraordinary pure land in it’s “pure, untrammeled state” would be a “Great triumph for America”. Jimmy Carter starts by exonerating the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and describing its natural beauty and magnificence. He does this to get the reader to relate and use their own experience in nature to start a sense of credibility towards what he is writing.…

    The school to prison pipeline is a nationwide epidemic that is affecting our students beginning in their primary years of education such as preschool through their post secondary education, or even post graduate level. The school to prison pipeline is only pushing students out of the education system and into the criminal justice system. Essentially this pipeline targets students whom are either minorities, disabled, or LGBTQ. Through zero-tolerance policies students are becoming targets to educators and the federal education system only causing greater barriers for already struggling students. Despite, the few programs that are counteracting the epidemic there seems to be an ever-growing number in prison recidivism; I do believe that a percentage…

    Covert observation is when the participant is unaware that they are been observed. Often, some individuals go under cover to do their observations. (Encyclopedia.com, 2015) The advantages of covert observation is it does not disturb the normal behaviour of the group because the participant is unaware they are being observed so they would not act differently they would act in a way they would normally act. Therefore, there is higher validity because the participant would not be able to change their behaviour to make themselves look better because they have no idea. Another advantage is it allows the researcher to gain more in-depth and detailed information about the group they are observing because they are undercover and unaware so they would be able to find out more detail because the participants are unaware they would not change their behaviour.…
