Name Date Ethnographic Observation I set out to find a place to begin my observations‚ not knowing what to fully expect‚ what I may find. So I decided to look around at what is close to my home that isn’t a place I frequent or have even visited at all. Then it came to me‚ the Starbucks that is only about a mile away is a perfect place for me to observe subjects that I would consider different from myself‚ seeing as how I consider such obscene prices for coffee ridiculous. Starbucks is a very

Ethnographic Observation I chose to do my Ethnographic Observation at the Hare Krishna temple in Spanish Fork‚ Utah. I chose this location because I thought it would be the best place to observe different behavior and cultures. It is also close to my home‚ and I had never had a chance to explore it. The Hare Krishna temple is a very interesting location to observe. The grounds are very large‚ and the temple itself is beautiful. There is a sort of corral next to the temple

My second ethnographic observation took place at New Haven Adult Education Center on 23 October 2017. There were 16 students two of them were males. They were in the low- intermediate level. The first thing I noticed in the class‚ was the age of students‚ they were between 24 to 60’s. They are from different countries. In the classroom walls‚ there were five bulletin boards‚ 2 of them decorated with world’s maps‚ two with classroom rules and the last one with The Starry Night painting. When I walked

Kendall Academy on 700 East and 2300 South Sugarhouse Utah. I observed the way students interact with each other‚ clients‚ and the instructors at the school. The purpose of ethnographic observation is to understand the culture that is Beauty School. For my field research‚ I used two different methods. Participant-observation and Interviews. I felt pretty out of place and like I was intruding on “their world”. I felt that everyone knew I was watching them and writing things down in a notebook

When given the assignment of Naturalistic Observation‚ observing at Starbucks seemed like a great idea. Starbucks is a place where people just go to talk and read‚ with the university being nearby I expected to see college students studying. Starbucks is a well known coffee shop where you can drink you coffee in a relaxing atmosphere. Today is February 15 the day after Valentines Day. I thought to see flirtatious couples together‚ drinking coffee and maybe even sharing pie. They could be on there

On the morning of the 2nd‚ my group and I observed behavior regarding ageism and adultism at the Starbucks location in the Circle. It was difficult for me at first to distinguish what sort of behavior could fall under either social construct. I suppose this had to do more with me assuming that the location in which we observed needed to have more variety in the age of its occupants. As time went on though‚ I began to notice a few minor incidents in which the behaviors of younger people (aged under

During my summer break‚ I followed the same routine of visiting Starbucks. Every time I enter Starbucks‚ I am immediately encountered with the smell of roasted coffee‚ the sound of the blender‚ the barista wearing a green apron placing the ground espresso beans into the portafilter‚ the microwave going off and screaming “Beep Beep Beep

Individual #2 Around lunchtime in Starbucks today I observed a little boy around the age of ten in the check out line with his mom. I could definitely tell he did not want to be there. The boy came across as very unappreciative towards his mother as he demanded her to get him a smoothie. He did not just want a smoothie; he wanted the most expensive thing on the menu. Money clearly was not a worry to him; it looked like he got everything he asked for. He looked like a very privileged child since he

operational nightmare. Starbucks has 10 different types of coffee beans‚ 12 blends of flavors and loads of special toppings. How can the Starbucks operations be consistent with so many variations? My observation will evaluate the Starbucks’ processing time. The objective problem statement is "It takes too long to get a flavored cup of Latte from Starbucks." The selection of a theme is to produce the best cup coffee while the customer waits a minimum time. Starbucks has a great deal of competition
