Sense Observation

Improved Essays
It doesn’t matter where you are, you will always be observing a scene, whether you realize it or not. When going to the location I chose, it was odd trying to think about everything I needed to observe. Usually these observations are things I don’t pay attention to, but I do them anyway. As human beings, we observe with our senses. Our senses include sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. These senses aren’t always on our mind when we go to different places, unless of course one of them stands out. When paying attention to these senses at the U.S Cellular store, there were a few that caught my attention. Friday after school was over my boyfriend and I decided to go to Spencer, Iowa to the U.S Cellular store. My phone hasn’t been working for …show more content…
I noticed that the woman that the employee was talking to was quite angry with him. I’m assuming that is why he hurried to speak with her. I also noticed there was another employee who was walking around just seeing what people needed quick, but he didn’t come ask us. This made us a little more irritated considering we were cut off the first time. I happened to look over into the corner of the room and see a little child playing with one of the cell phones there. The child kept dropping it and it made me wonder where his parents were. I actually looked around to see if I could guess who his parents were based on if anyone was looking for him. Nobody was looking. When the employee was done talking with the angry woman, the woman grabbed the little boy and left. No wonder she wasn’t looking for him, she was too busy yelling at the employee in the store. Anyways, that meant the employee was ready to talk to …show more content…
We just discussed what was going on with my phone and what they could do to fix it. On my way out of the store I heard him tell us to have a good night and that he was very sorry for any inconvenience he may have caused. We just smiled and waved as we went out the door, which led to a food court because the store is located in the Southpark Mall. Walking out into the food court definitely brought out my sense of smell. All I could smell were tacos, which I don’t think there was even a taco place around. Smelling tacos gave me the reaction of wanting Taco Bell very badly, so on our way home we stopped and grabbed some. While eating the Taco Bell it made me realize that I didn’t think about the sense of taste while I was at U.S Cellular. I ended up laughing at myself because taste would not have been necessary anyway. I ended up focusing on the taste of my delicious tacos

    In the article “How do you learn to walk? Thousands of steps and dozens of falls per day”, experimental research was done to find an answer to how infants learn to walk. Previous research was conducted on this topic, but it did not show anything about how much or how far infants walk, how often they fall, what makes them continue walking after falling, and how these abilities change with development. Researchers have simply focused on the structure of postures from a crawling to an upright walking position and the regular steps of infants on open grounds where they have to use natural locomotion, or the natural ability to move. This process is known as periodic gait.…

    Perception As critical thinking individuals we are given the power of choice and free will; the ability to decide if we prefer the left path or the right dictating our journeys as we grow older in knowledge and mind. Choices that are customized to reflect directly on our values, morals and beliefs; like a descriptive manuscript written in stone which depicts who we are in the depths of our personal abyss, stating what makes us different than others around us. But what happens when our sense of moral is tested, when a conflict so great challenges our understanding of who we are; and we are made to pick one of two lesser evils. A switch goes off immediately which makes us question the decision to be made in terms of everything we stand for and…

    Just a few days before Christmas 2015, I happened to be traveling over the Q bridge heading to the infamous 91/95 interchange in Ct, as I emerged from the underpass that leads to 91, I noticed a line of red tail lights that seemed to go on for miles. Sailing along at 2-4 mph there appeared a man holding a small cardboard sign with just two words: Homeless Veteran. When parallel to the guy, I lowered the window half way, and on a whim, asked him if he had eaten today. No he replied. I said, its Christmas and I'm on my way to the diner ......…

    Cognitive Observation 2 During the first twelve months of life newborns are initiating cause and effect. While, there is no such thing as two infants developing in exactly the same way, there are milestones that young children should reach by certain ages in order to determine growth. As they begin to relate to their immediate surroundings, infants initiate behaviors that establish cognitive development by way of their developing senses (hearing, taste, smell etc.). This is known as, the Sensorimotor Stage of Cognitive Development.…
