Girl Boss Part 1

I go to work at midnight five days a week till eight in the morning. I have a physical class I go to for three hours total for the week on Fundamental Oral Communication (COMM 111).

I also have three online classes Introduction to Philosophy (PHIL 201), Lifespan Development (PSY 250), and Introduction to Sociology (SOC101).

I came in and checked my e-mail. I just finished my days off for this week and it is usually the first thing I do. To my surprise I got a raise ( 2% due to cost of living expense).  This was a wonderful surprise and much needed as well.

I did not start my day healthy at work with a can of Pepsi.  But I was productive enough to work on my work and such and take time to read for some parts of my classes.

So for PHIL 201, I reviewed ‘’the arrangement of the incidents’’ such as Oedipus Rex [1].  Which fits Aristotle’s ideals on plots must be single whole from start to finish.

I will later today be watching to films for this class Blow up (1966) and Shutter Island (2010)

For SOC 101, I discussed the negative aspects of cultural hybridization. Issues with hybridization cultures cause things to be mass produced and collecting of materials and waste from non-reusable cups to causing small business to go under due to global companies taking over many societies. These things like fast food effect local economies, the environment, obesity and so forth.  A lot of food we eat are seen as a cuisine but actually have been Americanized such as Chinese buffets, taco bell and so forth [2]. Along with food we find small businesses such as Mom and Pop stores to shrink as major companies like Walmart, and other outlet shops expand. Even those physical stores are becoming less due to online shopping.

I also worked on my project for COMM 111: On mindfulness. It was our discussion at class for September 20, 2018. Along with intercultural dimensions, individualism-collectivism, power distance (High/Low Power Distances), Gender Expectation Dimension, High/Low context Culture, and mindlessness.  I also went over my third chapter on Adapting to Others.
