Political: “We must comply with numerous provisions regulating health and sanitation standards, food labeling, energy, equal employment opportunity, minimum wages and licensing for the sale of food, drugs and alcoholic beverages.” Page 16 Assessment: Laws and regulations are subject to change and this can heavily impact Safeway Inc. procedures.

In every case, any important decision that was crafted or suggested for consideration, the owner always had the final say in the matter. For example, my current occupation at ProResponse, Inc gives me the ability to suggest ways into making the company more efficient, but at the end of the day, the owner of the company gets to decide whether or not to go with my suggestion. Also, in the time when I was employed with a privately owned UPS store, not only there was barely any formalization, other…

I went to the co-op on Labor Day to get groceries for the week. I witnessed a wide variety of people shopping at this small town version of Whole Foods. There were people all over the spectrum, most notable were a hippie, a family with a mother and 3 children, and a woman with her dog in the store. The hippie rode a bike to the store and he was wearing a super bright tie-dye t-shirt, a long beard and hair down to at least his hips. I admired the hippie man’s simplistic lifestyle choices,…

For the culture shock assignment, I decided that I would go to a Mexican grocery store. I went to Bonito Michoacán. Before going, I decided that in order to have the best experience I would have to look around the whole store and buy something. To make things more exciting I decided I would buy something to make for lunch and possibly a treat. On my way there, I was kind of nervous. I felt like I would not belong and I thought that people might stare at me. I went around nine in the morning. I…

How to Deal with Fender Bender or Small Car Damages? So you just reach the nearest store to buy grocery for dinner. You rush to the store, buy things and then go back to your vehicle.

You start to begin rolling backward before looking in the mirror, and then it happens— parking lot fender bender. In fact, in every day to day driving, small damages occur to our cars, like bumper…

There is an overwhelming amount of techniques around the U.S., that are focused on affecting the lives of the poors. Throughout history, the actions of the government and private companies have changed and transformed what is society today. These policies were redlining, racial covenants, blockbusting, contract buying, and white flight. The causes of urban food desert were because of the practices used. The racism and discrimination of the past is what made those actions happened. People might…

While doing my weekly shopping, a task I rarely enjoy, I started looking at the endless rows and rows of products, their brands, brightly coloured images, fancy fonts, different size and shape packages all jostling from my attention and ultimately my wallet. As food shopping is one my least enjoyable activities, I decided to occupy my mind and stopping it going into “screen saver” mode by looking closely at the symbiotic relationship that underpins this ecosystem. Like all successful symbiotic…

1. After watching the “Eye of the Beholder” video, I thought about the social institution in our culture. According to the Human Education in Diversity textbook, social institution is defined as “a set of rules, or norms, that enable us to get through the day without having to figure out how to behave toward others” (Cushner, 2015, p. 6). In the video, what I perceive as ugly is beauty to the normal people in the video. To me, the patient 307 looks very normal, and the doctor and nurses look…

This place is Olmstead Street in Vanier. A street that has three churches and some houses on both sides. The number of cars parking on both sides of the street on a weekend show that the people of that area have a personal connection with that space. That Street also has a church that offers bilingual services, in Portuguese and English. Consequently, that street for the Portuguese-speaking community is very meaningful. Places are important to me because those are locations that people shared…
