The social setting, I chose was the beach in Hilton Head Island South Carolina. Due to the relatively close proximity to where I live, it was easy to make an extended weekend getaway not to mention perfect timing for this observation experiment. My spouse and I rented a condo along the beach which also has public access for anyone to use. In between the parking lot was a gated walk way that led to the beach. This beach at low tide had a large area that can accommodate everyone from walkers, bickers, runners, and tanners, and for people to put out lounge chairs and beach chairs. During high tide the beach becomes much smaller therefore much more crowded which is not ideal especially when having an 18 month old with us. Along the beach there was some lifeguard posts spaced roughly around 150 feet. The lifeguard at one post was female and the other was male around their early or mid-twenties wearing a red swimsuit and/or red shirt and shorts as well as sunglasses and a large umbrella over their observation post. Nearby there was a small stand where attended by someone offering to rent beach chairs and umbrellas. This observation was done on a Monday morning, June 18, 2016. It was mostly sunny with some cloud cover, but nothing that would dampen the mood of being on the beach. The water was fine temperature wise, however for the beach the waves were nearly …show more content…
Seeing the reaction of people is fascinating especially what they do when the norm is interrupted. I admit I did feel kind of bad interrupting their day even if it was for a moment. Reflecting on this experiment, I personally will make a conscious effort to be in tune with my surroundings with hopes I will act in a different manner than the two women did. The Department of Justice came out and told the public if they see something say something. Could I ever forgive myself if someone was in real trouble and I turned the other cheek or pretended not to hear or see
Source 4: A few reasons why beach pollution is happening is because Trash and other materials that beaches rivers, bays, estuaries and oceans eventually wash up on our beaches. It includes plastic bags, bottles and cans, cigarette filters, bottle caps, and lids.Any trash that is not thrown away and is just thrown in the beach and is in the sand can eventually go into the beach and make the water dirty.A lot of people just throw the trash in the water because they do not care.Some people are too lazy to go throw it away in the trash can.
Costal erosion, especially on barrier islands, is a major concern throughout the world. The issue represents a serious concern for many vulnerable coastlines throughout the coastal regions of the world. This issue must be studied for root causes so it can, if at all possible, be brought under some semblance of control before it is too late. The cost of ignoring this issue would be catastrophic to both communities on the beach and the marine life that depend on the coastal areas for their very survival.
Performing this experiment and breaking the given social norm made me realize how much people value their personal space. Me included. It was as hard for me to keep staring people down as it was for them to allow me to keep doing it. Violating someone’s personal space is a common disruption we all have experienced before, because of the distinct boundaries in each person.
I moved from New York to Colorado and not only did they have a difference in the environment but, in the activities we seek to do in our free time. New York may be a larger city and its beautiful building, but, Colorado offers nice mountains and great trails into these mountains because I have experienced both states personally this is my ethos. In Colorado we can go to the mountains to have some fun such as snowboarding and hiking with some friends. In these few pictures, it shows the differences nevertheless, these two places have their similarities as well. These both show beautiful water and even though one state consists of a big city, both photos show even smaller cities can be appreciated. The audience is for people seeing what is so
NATURAL DUNE SYSTEM: Commonly, the dune at the back of a natural beach is called the fore-dune, a ridge of sand forming with its axis, or crest, parallel to the shoreline. Such a dune or sand ridge in association with a beach also is called a beach ridge. The vegetation serves as an anchor for wind-blown sediment and generates continuous dune growth. When the grass is removed by storms, fire, trampling, overgrazing, or simply too much sand coming ashore across the beach, the dunes are destabilized and may begin to migrate landward. The size of a dune is mainly a function of sand supply: the larger the supply from the beach, the higher the dunes. Prevailing wind directions, beach width and time available to build a dune are part of the sand
When I went to the beach it was me and my brothers when to the beach and my little brother ask us if we would put him in the sand and the good brothers we are we dug a hole that was so dip I would stand in it and it took us 3 hours to do it so u are getting in this hole he said ok and got in it when we put him in there and my mom was so mad she made us stay in the house for 2 days we had to beg her to let us go to the beach she said ok and she got to mad when we did that it all most took us a day to get him out of there and that is my story when I went to the beach. And I went out to eat and it was so good u need to go to that place it was called Jacks. We had a lot of fun and we went fishing and we cooked all of the fish. We meet so woman
Grandpa face completely dropped you could see how much this subject disturbed him. You could cut the tension with a knife. After anxiously awaiting his response, grandpa finally looked like he was about to say something. Grandpa got up from the table and hobbled towards his favourite chair.
Wind energy is starting to account for a lot of renewable energy around the world so why would it cause issues amongst people that live in certain regions? Wind farms do not only irritate locals, they also cause stress on the animals that inhabit the areas these turbines are being built. In the article “Not on my beach, please” written by the Economist in 2010, they show that wind technology may cause issue in some eyes but made others feel better about their region. In the article they also state that the wind turbines can cause issue for migratory birds and other fauna inhabiting these regions.
As my car turns into the parking lot, I can smell the crisp seawater air.I have finally arrived at the Wildwood Boardwalk.When a person steps onto the boardwalk,they see millions of colors zipping around.Carnival games are at the front of the boardwalk.My favorite carnival game is the watergun game.Once I beat all of the other contestants at the game stand, and won a huge plush Spongebob.While playing the carnival games,I can smelll food coming from a couple of feet away.The sweet and salty scent of popcorn,zeppolis,and ice cream,balances perfectly with the freshness of the seawater.Boardwalk food is greasy and delicious.If I walk farther down the boardwalk,I can see the mall.Boardwalk malls are different than normal malls.At these malls you
The nice shiny, sparkling hot sand, gazing out to the nice clear ocean.With a nice bright shining sun with a nice blue sky hovering the ocean water.OMG have you ever gone to a beach house and you or your dad found something , surprising but when you ask if you can use it but they say no.Well that is what happened in my story.
In my opinion, all actions have some kind of consequences, even if its a good or bad consequence, you'll always have one.
After that event, I made things very clear what I would never do again. From then on I never did something just because everyone else did. I would assess the situation and decide whether the action was worth it’s consequences. This event prevented me from becoming one of those people who break the law just because they can, or because it gives them an adrenalin rush. My actions on that fateful day were definitely not worth the consequences that I suffered, and because of that, I have been very obedient of the laws and rules that are around me.
And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight
Everybody has a gateway destination that brings them happiness, peace, where for a few days the time slows down and you live out every full moment and for me that would be the beach house on Seal Rock. This beach house has brought me many great memories with my family ever since the age of two my family and I would go for a few days or even a week to get away from the city and actually enjoy nature at its best. It’s my third home away from home.
Before you let the kids run around freely, you want to identify a meeting spot in case someone gets lost. Make sure the spot is super easy to identify – if the beach has a place for the lifeguards, this can be a great option. Make sure the child also knows your emergency contact number. You could use a water resistant marker to write it in the swimsuit – show the child how to point at the number if they are in trouble.
