...Social Psychology PSYC321 Social Psychology of Nightclubs The Locker Room For my observation for this project I chose to observe a nightclub, called The Locker Room. This club is located in Marietta, Ohio. I recently visited Ohio Valley University, which is a college I attended last year and this is a club we would go to on the weekends. Being from PG County, Maryland and going to this club in Ohio was a different scene. Nightclubs in general are a universal part of my generation and also culture. Nightclubs are social venues and attract all genders, races, and ethnicities. Nightclubs are a place where you can meet friends or make friends, a place where you could dance, a place where you could enjoy the newest and hottest music. For some nightclubs are where they meet prospective dates, and nightclubs are aware of this, which is why they keep it all in mind when they are being designed. I have two goals for this observation my first goal is to see how the club goers interact with one another, which gender approaches the other more often? Also does the race of an individual play a role in how other interact with them? Second, I hope to investigate how club employees interact and treat the club goers, again based on race and gender. In this observation I hope to reveal hoe club goers interact and are treated while in nightclubs. I have three Research questions I posed during this observation. Does the gender of the individual have any affect on how they are treated while attending...

...Abstract The purpose of this paper is to reflect on a multicultural experience. This assignment is to focus on a culture that’s different from my own. It will provide a brief background/history, when and where the event took place, the setting, other observations and my overall reflection. The paper will conclude with how this experience affects my view of diversity in K-20 education. Multicultural Immersion Experience Salsa dancing is an internationally known dance style which originated in Cuba. When African drum rhythms came to the new world through slave trade, the blend of drum rhythms mixed with official Cuban music emerged a variety of sounds and dance moves. A style known as the Cuban son gained a lot of popularity and played a central part of Afro-Cuban music. Radio Broadcasting came to Cuba in 1922 along with Americans seeking to escape prohibition laws. This exposed a large population of westerners to Cuban son and for the first time, Afro-Caribbean music became popular in America. Renamed the Rumba, the music and dancing begin to appear in American salons in the 1930s and is still a popular style today among ballroom dancers. The Rumba in many ways looks like a slower version of salsa. It's got some of the footwork elements, the Cuban hip motion, and arm styling (Articlesbase, 2009). In short, Africans were brought over to Cuba as a result of the slave trade. Their music blended with that of the Cubans and a union between the clave and African drums was...

...teacher observation and student self-assessment. * Components of Alternative Assessment a) Assessment is based on authentic task that demonstrate students’ ability to accomplish communication goals. b) The teacher and students focus on communication, not on right and wrong answers. c) Students help the teacher to set the criteria for successful completion of communication tasks. d) Students have opportunities to assess themselves and their peers. Performance-based Assessment Performance assessment ( Mueller, 2010) is an assessment in which students are asked to perform real world tasks that demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge and skills. It is a direct measure of student performance because the tasks are designed to incorporate context, problems and solution strategies that students would use in real life. It focus on processes abd rationales. There is no single correct answer; instead students are led to craft polished, thorough and justifiable responses, performances and products. It also involved long-range projects, exhibits, and performances that are linked to the curriculum. In this kind of assessment, the teacher is an important collaborator in creating tasks, as well as in developing guidelines for scoring and interpretation. Details regarding performance-based assessment will be discussed in chapter 7. Performance-Based Assessment Performance-based assessment is a direct and systematic observation of the actual...

...and dignity, whereas youth struggle with the issue of identity and right. Because of the technology the modern family reunion is not common as the originally were but continue to be dominant in the African American community. According to (Mc Coy) family is very important in the African American community. Without a family bond, this community would have struggled to make it through trying times such as the violence and exploitation of racism throughout this country’ history’’ Fashion and aesthetics of African American are set of qualities in art, and specifically in this paper dance and music that come from African art. Robert Farris Thompson’s observations of art in central and western Africa and Kariamu Welsh Asante’s observations of dance in Zimbabwe identify common themes of African art. Method of dancing is another way of incorporation and valuing the entire body and bringing together the music and dance. African American had I shave off all their hair and start over with a natural hairstyle, then to continue getting perms and artificially straightening your natural "nappy" hair. In addition, why would you want to change your God-given hair texture; nothing about African hair is "bad", no body's natural hair texture is bad, regardless of race. they are burning their scalp, it’s like a cigarette on their hair. Most women in Africa don't get perms, they either keep it low to their scalp, get dreadlocks, or get braids. Think of African hair not as a curse, but as a unique gift...

...to happen in time”. In this paper I want to show that time is an essential element not just to the subject of Second Time Painting, but it is also critical in the way one observes the work. Second Time Painting is a work of art that invites a constant change of focus and an examination of detail. Created in 1961, Second Time Painting is a combine painting created with paper, fabric and oil paints on a canvas that is approximately 65.75 x 42 inches large. Rauschenberg uses his bricolage style of working where he takes objects from his daily environment, that have non-art identities and uses a collage technique to bring them together in a work of art, erasing the disparity between art and life. Rauschenberg's collages made plenty of surrealist disassociate juxtapositions. He tops Second Time Painting with a classic surrealist symbol - a disabled clock, which is positioned upside down over a slashed open pair of shorts, a sweatshirt, and a brash array of paint strokes. This painting is part of a series in which the notion of time, found in the title, is the origin of its conception. The first of the three artworks of the series, First Time painting, Second Time painting and Third Time painting, was created during the performance “Homage to David Tudor” that took place at the American Embassy theatre in Paris in 1961.[1] The painting was set up with its back to the audience so no one could see it being created. Viewers were deprived of observation; however, a microphone was attached...

...one is denounced by the community. The traditional cem rituals are not performed there and cem rituals seem more like a union (birlik) cem rituals. In recent years, elements of different religious identities have been let into the Alevi rituals in the several urban areas such as Shiahs/Caferis, Mevlevis. For instance, semah is a religious dance of the Alevis mostly performs both men and women. Through the semah, participants communicate with each other includes words, movements, gestures, rhythms and melodies. On the other hand, it is well known that sema is a traditional ritual dance of the Mevlevis and performed in their rituals. Mevlevis are known Sunni and Sufi-order within Islam. They are still active in Turkey. There is a similarity that would be found between Alevis and Mevlevis but, they are quite different from each other. The most important religions dance of Mevlevis named sema also known whirling dervishes with accompanying of musical instruments flute and tambourines. Today sema is performed with the Alevi religious dance of semah in the Alevi cem rituals. While semah dance performers are turning in a circle, there is a sema dance performer in the midst of the circle in the cem ritual. This is a kind of composition and there are many videos on social media show that this composition performed in Alevis cem rituals. So these kinds of rituals can be seen as a current example of the tangled identity of Alevis. I previously gave very short explanation about what means...

...Culture on Consumer Behavior Abstract The Korean wave hit Asia in the early 2000’s, initially through television dramas, and has gradually skyrocketed in popularity, expanding its reach to the film and record industry as well. Its success is owed to the effective combination of Western pop-culture with an added Asian flavor, across all its industries. With the sudden influx of Korean boy or girl pop groups led by pop idols worshipped by many fans, the media industry managed to tap on the popularity of certain idols, starring them in television dramas and hence garnering support from fans all over Asia. Together with popular drama series came its respective memorabilia, such as posters, bags, accessories – you name it, they have it. This paper serves to explore how the wave of Korean popular culture (commonly known as the Hanryu) on television today has had an impact on the behavior of people who participate in this Hanryu culture, not only through purchases of memorabilia, but also through changes to their lifestyle. The Influence of Hanryu on Consumer’s Buying Behavior Media, and the television to be specific, can be seen as a medium for informal learning, as well as influence. It is sometimes known as a socializing agent, which can influence who we are and what is expected of us. Just like how advertisements serve to increase the perception that consumers have towards a certain brand or product, occasionally using attractive endorsers or impactful slogans, Hanryu has a similar...

...Jonathan Watters is an energetic, happy eight month old infant. His parents are very close friends of the family, so I am lucky to spend a large amount of time with him. Jonathan is very laid-back and quiet compared to his energetic older sister. Jonathan’s parents moved into a new home on Saturday, December 5th, so I took this opportunity to observe him as I was already scheduled to watch him that day. Over the course of the afternoon I was able to spend a great deal of time observing and rather than interview him, I performed small tests in an attempt to gauge Jonathan’s physical, cognitive and emotional development. Using these observations I was able to learn about his developmental process and see the milestones as noted in our book. Observation of Physical Developmental Milestones Jonathan is curious and very active during my observation. There are several different types of toys surrounding us in the living room. There is a television playing cartoons in the background, which Jonathan periodically stops to look at. Jonathan is teething so he drools quite frequently. After taking some time to fully wake up this morning, his mother Kelly drops him onto the middle of the play space and he is ready to play. To assess Jonathan’s developmental level, I record the gross and fine motor skills that he displays at this time. Gross Motor Development Motor skills are simply actions that involve using muscles in the body. Gross motor skills involve making large movements with...
