Cultural Adaptation: PaceMaker♥️

I have chosen a pace maker, because in many cases there is a individual with a heart conditions that need a pacemaker , which is a small device that goes in the chest or abdomen and helps the heart beat at a normal rate. Without a pacemaker a individual with a irregular heart rhythm can cause death. Without a pace maker some individuals would not survive because their heart would not function properly while doing daily activities. Wilson Greatbatch was a American electrical engineer, who invented the pace maker in 1958, through out modern history the device was improved to better prevent heart failure. The pace maker is apart of the cultural adaptation because the device changed the way a heart can function properly so individuals could survive. The pace maker also improved the way individuals do physical activities without the device people with heart conditions would not survive because of physical strain on the heart. Overall,People would not be able to do physical activities or live very long because of a potential risk of heart failure.

2. During the class discussion we were seated in a circle ,The females spoke 6 times for about five minutes average and the boys were more engaged and spoke about 10 times when the professor asked us questions and personal opinions on the reading assignments. When we were paired with another person , the girls spoke more during the independent time with a partner when discussing the topic.

3.The men were more confident when called on and the girls were more shy. During the class it was about two girls that were engaged and had no problem speaking to the professor about our topic on Brazil and questions asked about it.

4.My instructor is a male , who wants a lot of participation in the lesson. My professor is famous for randomly calling on people and always wants the seats in the circle so each student can participate.

5. The instructor calls on females more , even though the males aren’t shy to speak up. I feels he calls on the females the most because majority are taking to another student or paying more attention to their phone.

FeildWork Assignment #3

The Location That I chosed to observe was Starbucks. I was drawn to this place because of the signature crafted drinks and the coffee Culture that many individuals are apart of. I observed that majority of the customers are adults and people who are on the go or chose to sit down to hold meetings or study. The environment of Starbucks is calm and peaceful.

During the rush hour Starbucks environment still displays an environment that is professional and peaceful even with a little more noise because of rush hour. I observed that people would come in and order fast, I figured this out because it seemed that the customers were very familiar with the menu. Most of the customers would come in by themselves or with one other person , occasionally but rare a family would come in but would not sit down. I notice the family would not sit down because Starbucks is not really a family oriented place to sit down with children. The attire that most customers were wearing was business clothing or chill clothing to grab a seat and do work on the computer. Something I never notice about Starbucks is there was a drive- thru this made me realize that in the past Starbucks never had a drive- Thru because it always was supposed to resemble a traditional coffee shop. I notice that Starbucks has a high price tag on their drinks, while speaking to someone I was able to learn that most customers come to Starbucks because they are able to get caffeine and sugar all in one.
