vehicles including SUV’s, Humvees and pickup trucks. Security guards for the Area 51 perimeter have not been noted to use excessive force with any civilians in the area; however, they are fully permitted to do so if a civilian attempts to pass into the protected area and does not heed warnings against doing so.” (Brannan 12) This explains that the guards are capable of force if they feel that it is necessary, and they are ready for anything that comes their way. The second way the base is protected is the way they hire the workers. Background checks are performed on individuals before offered a job. When being offered the job, individuals are not told what they will do and the spouse may not be told about the job. The workers are brought to work on unmarked or military planes. The third way to keep the base safe is what goes on within the base. Workers are not called by their names; instead, they are given code names to keep the workers safe. When workers have meetings nothing is physically written down, and sharing information about projects is on need-to-know status. “The shelters are "scoot and hide" buildings, designed so aircraft can quickly move under cover when satellites pass overhead.” (Strickland and Kiger 2) They are designed this way so that The Soviet Union couldn’t discover anything about the projects going on at Area 51. Extensive measures of security are taken by the government to protect what happens at Area 51. There have been many projects on building and…
Nahhh. (I am petty and I hold grudges.) I get that teenagers can be irresponsible, and I know Kiri’s trying to cope and “find herself,” but fuck. I did not like the way she went about it. I guess I don’t find her relatable, hence my dislike for her. The stupid romance between Kiri and Skunk I didn’t get it. There was no build-up to their relationship. No chemistry. Nothing. They didn’t even talk that much. They went on bike rides and hung out, but really? That’s enough for Kiri to declare…
when the sun goes down there appears to be a wrenched smell that permeates the entire neighborhood. Sometimes it is so foul I can taste it. Because the alarming smell creeps through the windows and resonates through the whole house it makes it difficult to keep the windows open. What on Earth could be so disgusting? Well, a skunk is the culprit. It just so happens I live in a neighborhood where there inhabits a nearby Wildlife Refuge. Since we live so close to the wildlife refuge we see a…
I mostly made the decision to do this because of the women like in Bananeras, women that have to work 7 days a week and 24 hours. Maybe not quite that much, but it’s in a sense how I felt when I read their stories. They have to work almost every day and we spend our day shopping for deals. It’s like a war on Black Friday, people fight and push and will do anything to get what they went out there for. We’re spending our days fighting, when people are working all day. It’s something to think…
But first, a manager has to take the time to identify the toxic behavior. The behavior is often identified as toxic or poisonous because once it is in; it does take a great amount of work to filter it out. A manager can attempt to communicate with their personnel in reference to their issues and see if they can adequately reduce their damaging approach to convert into a helpful and positive colleague of the group. If that misses the mark, the organization must carefully expunge this type of…
Lucy McCormick, of ‘GET IN THE BACK OF THE VAN’ (GITBOTV), influenced my practice through her solo workshop and subsequent conversations because I found her style and attitude towards creative work particularly stimulating and we share an enthusiasm for pushing theatrical boundaries. Her approach demonstrates that, “the question of boundaries and extremes is always in the room” (McCormick, 2014). In our workshop on ‘The Importance of Being Ernest’ Lucy got one of my classmates, Laura, to chew…
presents more vigorously. In my own decision making if I saw a situation in which people responded differently in the same situation I would analyze what the situation was and take action based on what I perceived. For example, if I saw two workers with a job to do, presented with the same situation, and one was working while the other stood by and watched I might address the one not participating in order to get him involved in the project. The next dyad we will discuss is when the situation…
Mothers working has increased dramatically since the 1970s. Women have evolved since the late 1900s. Many work in work fields alongside men. Becoming mothers does not stop many of them from still working. A lower percent of mothers stay at home, although, it should not be for every woman. Women should not feel obligated to be a stay at home mother; they should be able to be independent, to be a role-model to their children, and to be capable to bring a larger income into the home. Most…
How important is work in today’s society? Imagine a world without work, a world in which nothing would get accomplished, now imagine a world in which everyone enjoyed work, and accomplished countless tasks every day. There has to be a happy medium. In order for the world to be successful work is a necessity, everyone has their own attitude toward work and the exertion level they are willing to put in. My first observation leads me into my backyard where I observe my father meticulously picking…
Problem 2: Crisis Action Planning When starting on Problem 2, there were a couple of lessons learned from the first problem, I wanted sustain and others I wanted to improve upon. The one thing I wanted to sustain from our first group was the relaxed atmosphere we had. There really wasn’t a lot of running around and playing catch up. Everyone was able to accomplish their work without any real missteps and believed that everyone put the best foot forward towards the problem at hand. The main thing…
