I am sitting just before the escalator to go upstairs to the food court and movie theater. I am sitting on a wooden bench with my girlfriend to my left. There are many shops surrounding me such as Champs, Pacsun, Traffic, Lids, Home Elements and Dollar Tree. The area that I will be observing is about 50 feet by 100 feet. There are 4 potted trees around me, one to my direct left, one to my direct right, one northeast and one northwest. There are also two fake plants directly north of me in between the two potted trees. There are two sets of stairs on each side of a long ramp to my left. As I look up, there is a large sunroof approximately 200 feet above me. It is sunny out today with few thunderstorms. It rained about 2 hours ago but has since brightened up and evaporated all of the water which means it is very humid outside. There is constant foot traffic inside the area that I am observing today.…
While he was passing, he was getting hot, and getting nervous and didn’t know where he was. He felt like he was getting light headed, while he was wobbling around on the road and didn’t know how to get his balance back. Before he knew it, he had got home and was there at his front door. While he was walking in, he saw this gust of wind right beside him. He was very suspicious because it was not windy out, and he didn’t know what that "gust of wind" was doing beside his left leg.…

If someone would have called police after her first, or even second cry for help she would have still been alive. Reading this story made me feel that I should rely on myself more when in dire need, because it’s not for certain that anyone is going to help me. Also from reading this story, makes me reflect more on events in a previous essay I’ve read “Black Men in Public Spaces” by Brent Staples, were a man was heavily judged by his looks. From reading Gansbergs’ story, I further understand why some individuals stereotype, someone could take your life if you’re not…
As seen in the video, criminals stealing hard drives from commercial establishments is becoming more common and holds the opportunity for criminals to steal hundreds of individuals’ credit and debit card information. This growing trend puts the consumer at risk for extra charges on their credit and debit cards as well as identify theft. What is even more surprising is that consumers are unaware of the true risks that are involved in using their card at terminals in stores. Moreover, even though businesses are to swipe the hard drives clean each day, many are failing to complete this proper procedure to prevent consumer’s stolen information. To add, where the consumer’s information was compromised is not made available to the consumer.…
King of Prussia mall is located in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. I have attended this mall many times before.

The definition of good art or a good artist have changed since the eighteenth century from meaning a skilled person with skilled art to not so much as skilled, but a more original person with authentic and genuine work. In "Exit Through the Gift Shop", new ideas and authenticity is strongly demonstrated within each street artist's art by using innovation, individualism, and devotion to art as a vocation. Then, Banksy attempts to express how the modern technology of cell phones has hurt social interaction, privacy, and even health from taking the spot of telephone booths.…
At the mall, I rarely encounter old age individuals. In total I saw three elderly women who were in a walker and who were accompanied by a woman which I assumed were their daughter. For example, at Macys, I saw an elderly woman looking at the clothes slowly and showing her daughter the pieces of clothing she had choose. The elderly women told the women if she could give her bottle water because she was thirsty. Then, I watch her drink her water slowly and then she continue to shop. In the shoe section of Macy’s I saw and elderly man sitting down at one of the chairs waiting for his wife to try on a few pair of shoes. As I watch him I also notice that he was falling asleep.…

1. Discuss whether the structure of the executive compensation program is consistent with the corporate strategy for each company. At a minimum, consider the mix of compensation (i.e., fixed vs. contingent, short-term vs. long-term, accounting or stock price-based vs. non-financial-based). In your opinion, does the compensation program motivate executives to achieve strategic success?…
We chose to conduct our social experiment at the Arizona Mills Outlet Shopping Center. Arizona Mills is located in Tempe, Arizona. Our experiment was conducted from 4:00 pm to 7:00. We chose this time frame to compare times of less traffic to the times after shoppers get off work. During the experiment the amount of shoppers increased from 1 shopper passing our position per minute to 3 shoppers passing per minute. The increase in shoppers happened close to 6:00 pm. We observed a mixture of social statuses to include white, hispanic, middle eastern, and black people. The gender variance was close with males usually being accompanied by a female. However, those that walked alone were mostly female. The shoppers walked comfortably though the Mall…
On the outside of the mall are lines after lines of cars are parked in the enormous parking lots. It is not that loud, every once in a while you hear the beeping of car doors being locked. Creative accents on the doors invite you to come in and enjoy. Different textures on the building pop out at you creating different lines. You go from flat to bumpy as move your hand against the side of the building. At night, the lights shines against the entrance making it easy for all to see.…

I was sitting in a restaurant along with my parents. The restaurant was on the first floor and we could see the busy Western Express Highway from the window. I was watching the cars, buses, and trucks speeding by. Just then I saw a bus trying to overtake another bus, but the gap was a bit narrow. The bus driver lost control and his bus hit the divider. It ran on the divider for a few seconds and then to my horror, it overturned. “Oh God,” I shouted. The overturned bus skidded and stopped in the middle of the road. My father too was watching the incident as it happened. He immediately called the Police and Ambulance from his cell phone. Meanwhile a huge rush had gathered near the overturned bus. Luckily there were only a few passengers in the bus who started coming out of the bus from the emergency window one by one. They were all hurt and some of them were bleeding. The public helped them come out of the bus and made them sit on one side.…
