What to Do If You Have a Botched Bunk-mate
Hey, you there! Yes, you have just been called out, do not act surprised. If anything you should relax, because your solution regarding your accommodated based issue is about to be granted. Your room mate is an inconsiderate, sloppy, inattentive and selfish specimen who obviously could care less about your feelings regarding the area in which you two live, and you simply don’t know how much more you can take. Better yet you aren’t even sure about the first move to make because you actually want to change this ongoing problem. Your internal frustrations and stress will descend, while instead actions will be taken towards an ascending positive environment. Before you begin any process, you must first be prepared with supplies. With that being said, here are a few items that you need …show more content…

In order for you to be successful, the items that you need to obtain are a message/ expo/ or bulletin board and a variety of cleaning supplies. The cleaning supplies include a vacuum, duster, broom, Windex, disinfecting wipes, Lysol, wash rags, magic eraser, carpet freshener, mop, air fresheners, detergent, fabric softener, and dish washing liquid. Growing up with cleanliness was probably a very important value that your mom instilled in you a very young age. When you were little, your mom probably took out the time to reward you for your sanitary good deeds. This subconsciously motivated you to clean, in which your sanitary values began to be instilled. Due to your oblivious insight as a child, all you cared about was the fresh baked cookies or small monetary rewards that you would receive once the chore was completed on your behalf. As you got older though,

  • Analysis of a Cleaning/Contamination Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Case

    2784 Words  | 6 Pages

    This case paper is about Lucinda, a 20-year old single female, who suffers from the Cleaning/Contamination Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) condition since she was very young. She is characterized by intrusive thoughts, images, and/or impulses that cause distress (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors that are performed to neutralize these intrusions (Coles, Schofield & Pietrefesa, 2006), i.e. her repetitive cleaning and washing behaviors. Her anxiety became so excessive that it interfered with her daily life. She perceived that some undesirable object(s), in this case the germs, were still on the things that she will come in contact with, even after she had repeatedly washing and/or cleaning them. Her anxiety further degraded both her social and occupational functioning, which resulted in considerable impacts to herself, her friends and family. In additions, her anxiety also caused her not be able to function to her fullest potential academically and to socialize with her friends and family as much as she wanted to.

  • Reflective Essay: Growing Up In Memory

    915 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is my memory of first year in the United States. Back then, I was a between 16 and 17 years old girl who would be called, ‘fob,’ which means ‘fresh off the boat.’ I was quite shy, not fluent in English, exotic looking and nervous but excited at the same time. Coming to the U.S. all by myself, leaving behind familiar culture, friends and family was quite challenging at such a young age, but I was all ready to endure hardship and obstacles of language barrier, cultural difference and loneliness. However, the trouble that pushed me into the well of suffering that I could not see the bottom came from the most unexpected source. It was my host family; they were white with a middle-class background, living in a rural area. They seemed like nice and friendly people at first. They brought me and my roommate to various events and places where I can learn American culture, helped me learn English, taught us the basic manner accepted in the U.S. and even celebrated my birthday. Nevertheless, they had a contradicting side as well. The family had eccentrically strict house rules which gave us heavy house chore, and eventually it led them to treat my roommate and me like housekeepers in the

  • Essay On Roommate Interaction

    2631 Words  | 6 Pages

    Sociology studies heavily on the interactions between individuals in different settings. For those who go off to college and decide to live on campus, they are presented a new setting of living with another student who could possibly have a similar background or in contrast a very different background. The factors that can contribute to the background differences are endless. Human interaction is very fascinating and is constantly being observed. Therefore plenty of research has been done on roommate interactions. This paper focuses specifically on the University of California Los Angeles population of freshmen. UCLA has a large amount of diversity and is particularly great for the study of people with different backgrounds coming together and interacting. Both qualitative and quantitative research has been done on this topic, but this paper will focus on qualitative data through interviews. All the participants were thorough with their responses and tried their best to answer as honestly as possible. Overall the data presented varied results with each factor creating a different outcome when it came to the interactions and the closeness of the two roommates. Although the participants gave good insight into their backgrounds through the answering of the interview questions, there is the possibility of many other influences in their lives that could allow for either cohesiveness or non-cohesiveness with roommates that just weren’t examined closely enough. This paper will try to answer how differences in ethnicity or race, socioeconomic background, and other background aspects affect college roommate interactions.

  • Why Is Hand Hygiene Important In Nursing

    1416 Words  | 3 Pages

    Using good hand hygiene is a start to making sure the patient environment is safe. “Handwashing is a fundamental principle and practice in the prevention, control, and reduction of healthcare-acquired infections” (Bjerke, 2004, p. 1). Hand hygiene aids in infection control, being as most hospital acquired infections are due to improper or absence of hand hygiene. Fox, Wavra, Drake, Mulligan, Jones, Bennett, and Bader (2015) suggest that 2.5 million deaths occur from hospital-acquired infections and of those deaths, 90,000 were preventable if the workers in healthcare would have used proper hand hygiene. Piece of mind is a mutual benefit of using hand hygiene in the healthcare setting. A nurse benefits from using hand hygiene because it would reduce the risk of that nurse contaminating other patients when going from patient room to patient room. A patient benefits from using hand hygiene because it reduces the risk of that patient spreading infection from one part of the body to another. Piece of mind is the benefit for knowing that patients and nurses are protected in healthcare facilities by using hand hygiene. Patients and nurses will benefit from using hand hygiene because it is a simple way to aid in keeping the individual healthy. The hands carry many germs and constant adherence to good hand hygiene will decrease the risk of people catching illnesses and contaminating shared surfaces (door handles, tables, and

In some cultures, adults believe that a child’s fecal matter is less hazardous than an adult’s, which results in adults handling the child’s feces more freely.7In order to dispel these myths, it is imperative to teach residents, particularly those in rural areas, about the importance of hand-washing. There are several marketing strategies that can be used to promote hand-washing, including pictorial stories, dramas, games, posters, group discussion, and radio and television campaigns.

(Demet Leblebici, 2012). “The indoor environment has the biggest effect on productivity in relation to job stress and job dissatisfaction”, says Leblebici, and “that the more satisfied workers are with their jobs the better the company is likely to perform in terms of subsequent profitability and particularly productivity”(Demet Leblebici, 2012). Lastly, Leblebici showed findings that “interaction was perceived to be the component to have the most positive effect on productivity, and distraction was perceived to have the most negative” (Demet Leblebici, 2012). The opposite of clean is dirty and dirt is a distraction in the workplace. According to Jennifer Benton, Sophie Harvey, and Simone Schnall, the authors of With a Clean Conscious, “cleanliness reduces the severity of moral judgments and can be driven by intuitive processes, rather than deliberate reasoning”.
