Week Three Summary

Team C Reflection
This week I learned about qualitative and quantitative analysis. Qualitative is exploratory research that helps develop an idea when there is uncertainty. This type of research is done with interviews of individual groups of people or focus groups. Quantitative research is research using numerical data. This type of research is done in bigger groups in different surveys types. Some examples are online or telephone interviews (Cooper & Schindler, 2011).
This week material helped me receive another perspective on using surveys. I enjoy taking some surveys however; when knowing I am being tested on something I tend to tense up. There is various ways to conduct surveys examples online or emails. Surveys can be simple and can be asked detailed questions depending on the research that is being explored. The way a survey is created will vary from topic-to-topic, and the outcomes will be different as well. I want to own my own business, and in order to create the right business for my area I have to research to ensure my business can survive. The material has given me the needed educational material to begin researching the required information to apply into my own potential business. When the business is established I can implement small surveys to my customers to provide feedback about my business (Cooper & Schindler, 2011).
This week we learned about qualitative and quantitative analysis. Qualitative analysis uses interviews of focus groups or individual whereas quantitative deals with numerical data. We also learned about surveys. Surveys can be a helpful tool to get feedback of data for your research project. As a team we worked on our first paper which was fun to interact with the team. This is the first team I have had in a while that works well together and takes each other’s opinions and can agree. We also learned about observations and experiments.

    In the essay “Communication: Its Blocking and Its Facilitation”, Carl R. Rogers, a famous psychotherapist, explains the importance of fully understanding people and looking at things in their perspective. He points out that the interrupt in communication arises mainly from our instinct to judge or to evaluate our opponents’ opinion, as well as from our emotional response. The way to overcome the barriers is to listen with understanding, which means “to see the expressed idea and attitude from the other person’s point of view, to sense how it feels to him, to achieve his frame of reference in regard to the thing he is talking about” (Carl R Rogers, p396). Sounds simple but not easy to do, this approach is the key leading to successful communication.…

    In Godzilla’s Footprint, author Steve Ryfle begins by stating that the film Godzilla was not released to the Unites States until 2004, fifty years after the original release in Japan. Ryfle goes on to quote critics that were flabbergasted by the contrast of two films - the original Japanese film with its primitive special effects and recollection of the horrific aftermath of the atomic bombings, versus the re-cut, copy and pasted version showed to the United states as a monster-mash entertainment film.…

    Thinking, Writing and Reading Rhetorically explains that the readings at the end of chapter 4 “…address the issue of outsourcing or offshoring, the business practice of moving jobs from developed countries like the United States to poor, developing like Mexico, China, and India. Outsourcing offers companies a large qualified workforce willing to work for lower wages and often more lenient environmental and safety regulations for factories” (p. 169). A controversial issue has been whether outsourcing has become a good or bad thing in the United States to the economy and the people who have jobs. On the one hand the cause of high unemployment has been because of outsourcing. From this perspective, outsourcing has become an issue due to the cause of unemployment and how the economy degraded. According to this view, as shown in the cartoon by Mike Lane, outsourcing has caused the loss of many workers jobs. Lane shows a worker that sees a sign on a closed factory stating, “Labor Day: This year’s picnic will be held in Mexico, where your job went.” (p. 175). On the other hand, however, others argue that outsourcing is good for the economy and is better for the people. As stated by Thomas Friedman, “But I am saying that there is more to outsourcing than just economics. There’s also geopolitics. It is inevitable in a networked world that our economy is going to shed low-wage, low-prestige jobs. To the extent that they go to places like India or Pakistan—where they are viewed as high-wage, high-prestige jobs—we make not only a more prosperous world, but a safer world for our own 20-year-olds” (p. 171).…

    Despite being written in the late sixteenth century, Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice is a timeless piece and provides great themes to be analyzed for purposes of a book report. The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare's less popular comedies, having been plagued in recent times with complaints of anti-Semitic themes. The summary of this really has to do with the character Shylock, a caricature of a greedy, Jewish money-lender. The two main characters of the story are a Venetian merchant, Antonio, and his Bassanio, who is in love with a wealthy heiress named Portia. Bassanio wants to propose to Portia but needs money to travel and appear worthy of her. Antonio wants to lend the money to Bassanio but his monies are all tied up in ships that are still at sea. He suggests that Bassanio approach Shylock for the loan and use Anthony's name as the guarantor.…

    Summary: Akira, a disappointment to his father, is sent to a language school in Australia in the expectation that although he failed to gain entrance to a university in Tokyo, he could learn a skill of use to the family business. It becomes a pivotal time in the young Japanese student’s life. The relaxed Tasmanian lifestyle opens new vistas; the exciting teaching methods of his new teacher inspires a latent love of, and ability in, language; the structure of his new ‘Australian family’ and that of his new Australian-Greek friend Stolly, provides a sense of possibilities for his own life. There are, however, undercurrents tugging his homestay family apart and Akira is an unwitting catalyst for near disaster. It is a beautifully understated coming-of-age novel that explores the process of grieving, cross-cultural understanding and friendship. Structure: The story of his time in Hobart is told by Akira, back home from Australia, in a letter to his friend, Satoshi. By using this device the author sets up and maintains one point of view (his own) and a past tense perspective that allows some backtracking and explanation of motives and perceptions. It is a device that works well as readers are given space in the text to fill in their understanding of each of the situations Akira filters through his own perceptions. At the same time it supplies,…
