The family of Woodstock Inc. was placed for those who were in need, knowing the services that are provided for everyone is a plus when dealing with the needs of individuals. Having the experience with dealing with people as well as having the passion to help those in need, I know that a legacy of greatness will continue to increase when having the right individuals in the right placed with the correct amount of funding. (A helping hand. (2009). British Dental Journal, 206(1), 48.)
The 115-mile distance all the way to Woodstock Festival played a significant role in the foundation of the Woodstock family, the concept of a carefree life with minimal worries appealed to a good number of people and making a special place for those who needed it. The Camps were set up in parks by young people who did not bring anything more than the clothes on their backs and no food in their stomachs. Many people in the community like Gail Varsi offered a means of communicating as well as their homes to help the young to avoid getting arrested of murdered. These simple acts of kindness helped in the foundation of the Family of Woodstock. (Burger, W. R. (2011). Human services in contemporary America (8th ed.). Belmont, CA:) Today, many people have volunteered to keep this legacy ongoing, the organization was set up to provide support for the people who attend the festival those especial the ones who needed: shelter, food, clothing, mental help and those who had mental health issues. The personnel are trained not to judge people or to tell them what they can do but, their jobs were to listen to what people say and give advice on what they can do and how they can give a helping hand. Workers also were to direct people to groups that may help them or provide necessary alternatives. The organization is currently leading the drive to deal with vagrancy, spousal abuse, and emergency

    In this next section S.W.O.T analysis will be used to analyze the festivals strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats which will provide the framework that the recommendations will be based upon. The festival has many strengths that have enabled its continued success since its infancy. The location for the festival alone is a great strength as it takes place within the popular Gros Morne National Park which provides a setting of amazing natural landscapes, and spectacular scenery for the event. It is apparent that the festivals majority of customers are locals from nearby communities, which is great as it shows the festival has the support of the nearby communities, and does not rely on visitors from afar or out of the providence.

    There has been a magnificent discovery in Bethel, New York at the historic site of the Woodstock music festival in 1969. We have found a time capsule with a treasure trove of items that seem to remarkably symbolize the 1960’s as a whole. The items found in the capsule consist of: a piece of the Berlin wall, an article referencing the end of the Cuban missile crisis, another picture of the JFK assassination, a protest sign from the 1963 March on Washington, and an autographed picture of Neil Armstrong on the moon.…

    So Gail opened her home and the use of her phone to people who needed help. Gail began organizing clothing exchanges, food drives. With the assistance from some local businesses, Gail also raised money to cover the costs to send some of the people back to where they were from (Burger, 2011).

    The event also had many games that you could participate in and be more active. The first game that I played is Sapo which is sort of the equivalent to the American corn hole. Each team has six coins and you have a board that has different holes that are worth a certain amount of points and the team that reaches the goal score first wins. There is a frog placed in the center of the board that is worth 4000 points and is nearly impossible to make it in. They also had soccer goals set up to play since it is a huge part of the Spanish culture and is often played when there are get togethers such as cinco de mayo. To kinda of end things they served tacos and burritos as well as had two dancers that danced as part of some…

    The Nashville Veterans Affairs (VA) dental clinic was a beneficial learning experience because it was a unique population. The VA is committed to improving the health of Veterans through a comprehensive and high quality system, which focuses on each patient's special needs. This mission was important because each patient I saw was completely different with special needs, but they were all similar in a few behavioral ways. My rotation at the VA clinic was helpful because each patient I saw had different medical conditions. It was interesting to learn that all of the VA records were accessible to all of a patient’s providers in the hospital. This seemed important and helpful in my opinion because everything about that patient’s medical treatments…

    Invidious comparison is comparing oneself to others by race, sex, religion, or class. Such comparison could lessen one's self esteem. How can we put a stop to this? The first step is to understand and accept differences. No two people are alike and there will always be someone smarter, stronger, more attractive, thinner, or wealthier. We must acknowledge our strengths and other strengths and stop dwelling on weaknesses. Count what you have and not what you don’t have. Be OK with imperfection and work on goals to improve yourself.…

Through this organization, I visit elementary and middle schools in the College Park and Washington D.C. area and teach young children the proper way to brush their teeth and how important oral hygiene is to their health.

    New Orleans and Mardi Gras

    • 1796 Words
    • 8 Pages

    New Orleans was left permanently changed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Mardi Gras season presents an opportunity for locals and tourists alike to collaboratively define this new and changed city. Carnival and Mardi Gras day itself can be viewed as theatrical performances in which local New Orleanians and tourists are involved in multiple dramatic interactions to present an ideal city and celebration. These reciprocal interactions between actor and audience result in a certain presentation of the festival, and of the City of New Orleans and often involves hiding the problems and devastating history that is very much a part of the city and festivities. Tourists from all over the world flock to the city to act in and be an audience member to the series of formal, ritualized parades and balls which take place between the Twelfth Night and Lent. The celebration is reinvented by its performance teams and audiences each year and thus, its meaning is constantly being renegotiated. The first formal masked parade presented by an organized krewe, or performance team consisting of city locals working together to stage the performance of Mardi Gras, took place in 1857 (Cohen 110). Each krewe has a distinct name, performance team members, and personal front. Unique ritual paradigms, such as the exchange of beads for disrobement, are created and enacted in which mutual understanding of the situation is necessary. The success of the presentation is determined not only by the krewe 's performance but by the audience 's acceptance of the krewe 's performance as believable, and their willingness to overlook mistakes. Thus, defining Mardi Gras and the City of New Orleans is a cooperative dramaturgical process dependent on the cooperation of actors and audience members. The product of this interaction between audience members and actors is a working, malleable definition of Mardi Gras ' and New Orleans ' self.…
