Having a mom that constantly drags me to the grocery store with her at least four times a week for "bonding time" has allowed me to observe the different types of shoppers at my local grocery store. Usually, I end up buying Starbucks inside and sit observing the different ways people behave while shopping. It is quite interesting watching the way people walk down the isles and how they portray themselves. My observations have allowed me to distinguish three different types of shoppers that definitely caught my eye: the bargain shopper, impulse shopper, and the multitasker.…

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).

Nkisi derived from the Kongo people of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Nkisi, or minkisi for plural, has no direct translation into the English language. They can be called fetishes because of the abundance nails on them but, the most equivalent translation would be hunter. They “hunt” for solutions to problems such as seeking out wrong doers or to heal. They have been used as tools for curing illness, combating witchcraft, solidifying treaties and more.…
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.…
After a long day at York dale mall I finally decided to get on the train and go back home. It was 7:35 and I was walking down the stairs to get into spadina station when all of sudden I bumped into someone while eagerly trying to put on my new sweater I just bought from juicy couture, I turned around and it was a blind white man probeally in his late 30’s, he had dirty blonde hair, clothe that were torn and way to big for him, he smelled as if he hasn’t showerd in days, he had such a seriose mad look on his face which got me scared a little, I then say “I’m so sorry sir, I didn’t mean to do that” then I got no response. I knew this blind man was the perfect person to do my observation on, so I quikly pulled my jornal and started to write. I was so shocked how this man knew were the doors wore and the stairs with no help. The train stared to come and a black women touched his sholders lightly to help guide him to the doors but he jump so fast had his fist ready in the air and said “don’t touch me” Many people on the train were offering him seats but he never accepted to anyone. He seemed so independent and I know I could never do this if I was blind. He wasn’t holding on to anything on the train, I noticed he did lots of small movements with his hands.…
A sociological observation was conducted at Manhattan Village mall from 5:48 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. on Saturday, September 18, 2010.

In order to communicate and adapt to a new culture, people must learn to understand signs, norms, and social control. These three factors are important and touch almost every aspect of social life.…
Surveillance issues in today’s society are becoming more concerning by the day. Paco Underhill, author of “Why we Buy: The Science of Shopping”, explains that with his unique surveillance approach, he has revolutionized many businesses marketing techniques.

Some people believe this kind of surveillance to be unethical, when in actuality, research has shown it provides an overall greater shopping experience, including customer loyalty programs that are beneficial to both the business and the consumer.…
Investors grew nervous about the economy for many reasons. Some of theses reasons include: consumer demand had slowed, manufacturers were overproducing goods, consumers were purchasing goods they could not afford, and bank failures had become more common, as a result investors began to question the pieces in the stock market. In October of 1929, the stock market crashed and stock traders panicked about the future of the economy. Many stock traders rushed to see shares of companies’ stocks, and as prices fell more and more investors sold their stocks. However, when the the slide ended, the stock market had already lost eighty-nine percent of its…

[Scene: Three boys are sitting at a parking lot in front of a convenience store. Each boy seems to be in their teens and wearing clothing that seems to cover up their bodies well. It seems to be reasonably late at night as it is dark and there are no other people around. It also has seemed to rain a bit so the pavement shines bright despite being so dark, as if it was black coffee. The only reasonable light source seems to be coming from the supermarket as it is resonating a dozen yards behind.]…
