A Report On The Activity Center

If you haven’t noticed already, humans are attached to their technological devices. We don’t notice because we are too distracted with what our devices display.

None of the people in the Blue Zones exercise. Although Buettner (2009) states that the people in the Blue Zones do not exercise, they actually do, just not in the way most people view exercise. Buettner (2009) acknowledges that, “they set up their lives so that they are constantly nudged into physical activity,” to take the place of strenuous exercise. However, constant physical activity is the definition of exercise, which is what they do. According to Borgenicht (2012), “they move at a consistent pace as part of their daily routines. As with interludes of circuit training routines, this type of behavior requires less stress and strain on the body than pyramid strength training or cardio workout shedding at peak intensity” as their form of exercise. This is a heresy, according to Buettner (2009) and many others. The reason this is considered a heresy, is that our doctors regularly tell us to exercise. Doctors tell people to exercise for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, a doctor tells a person to exercise if they are trying to lose weight or keep a constant weight. The biggest reason doctors tell their patients to exercise though, is so they can live a healthy lifestyle. Cohort Two and I could easily work in many of the ways that people exercise in Blue Zones. One way we could implement one of their strategies is by focusing more on physical activity we love

John does not socialize with his classmates but he will communicate academically with one student. The seating arrangement was modified to allow these two students to sit adjacent to each other. These changes could foster social communication for John.

To make sure that students get to know everyone, I will ask students at the beginning of activities to talk to at least three people that they don’t know. To also help with this I will ask students at activities to form a group

I agree with you when you say that the employees should be helpful and and friendly. This is a good reminder for being anywhere.You made a great points.

Activities that are not suitable for some residents. Base some activities around the residents. Have easier yet ideal avtivities such as reading or some sort of physical activities to keep them fit.

Almost half of OCC students prefer to study and do homework at home. Due to student’s busy school and work schedules, a lack of time to spend on campus to study, eat lunch, use the gym, practice in the piano rooms, be in a club, etc. can be in affect. Most students incorporate 4-6 hours a week of some form of recreation, resulting in less time to spend on campus. 84% of students do not socialize, thus could affect the outcome of them joining a club with fellow peers. This also could affect lack of knowledge of knowing about the Grunin Center piano rooms and Health & Wellness Center. Students prefer not to study, print, or do homework on campus (Fink 8, The Survey Handbook)

Students are groups based on their academic level, and have their desks are set in 4 groups of 6 with one group being in a set of 5. Two groups are in the front of the class while the other two groups are in the back of the class. 2 students are placed facing the window and 2 other students are facing the closets (making the students facing each other), and the last 2 students are facing the front of the classroom. I find that this positioning of the students is great for allowing students to turn and talk, and work as a group for certain assignments. The down side, however, is that students tend to talk excessively to one another, and get distracted more

Make the atmosphere relaxing. Play soft music, use gentle lighting and keep loud chatter between your employees at a minimum.

As a commuter student at NHTI, I would tend to see almost exclusively the other students in the business program. This made the school seem even smaller than it is. I cannot wait to immerse myself in a new, larger community. Being part of a larger college environment will not only provide ways to make friends, but also provide ways to establish personal connections that can be utilized in my future career. Social clubs are a great way to meet people who have similar interests and from a career standpoint build these personal connections, which may prove to be significant in my future endeavors. At my next school, I hope to meet people who are like-minded and as motivated as

The above question could be the most exposing question of our time. Let's be real; we live in the age of distractions. It's no surprise that we even rationalize the distractions. Ever told someone you love to wait a minute, all the while, you're busy scanning a social media site. Being fully present is a rarity amongst rarities.

What if everyone sat alone for lunch, each company did not interact with other businesses, and everyone lived a life of solitude? During college, learning to interact with others plays a large role in shaping the individual. College life provides many opportunities for a student to become involved with others. This socialization can result in a person gaining many benefits, including preparation for the work world. Social development helps a student to meet new people as well as making a person aware of the diversity on a college campus like Saint Peter’s. Human traits have evolved because of the influence that our surroundings exert upon us. The manner in which a person socializes in his or her

The behavior of the student employees is very alarming. Bad management is at the root of the problem. The student employees are in desperate need of better leadership. They are unmotivated and have no incentive to work hard and be productive. Another cause of the student employees’ behavior is the cultural view of working in a cafeteria. In the United States, an hourly pay rate service job is not highly regarded. These types of jobs are not considered to be very desirable. As a result, the student employees most likely have low morale and will not be very disappointed if they lose their job.

* Try to create a sense of community where the students feel more comfortable in front of each other. One suggestion made was to have the students sit in a circle.

Now, show your list of everyday, ordinary activities to a seatmate. After that, move around to see also the everyday of your classmates. Then, go back to your seats and let’s talk.
