The short story"Aha Moment" by Julia Alvarez demonstrates that the point is not to pay back kindness but to pass it on. The story expresses the idea that simple acts of kindness can make a great impact on people both mentally and physically. It can turn frightening and tense situations into assurance and aplomb. In paragraph 8, it is stated," no one screamed,no one panicked. I could hear small pockets of soothing conversation everywhere." By holding the hands and by chatting about everyday life, the passengers emboldened each other and created an optimistic atmosphere. The author points out,"someone was comforting me and kept asking me,'Are you okay?" According to Julia if someone does something good and beneficial for you, you should pass

The year of the home run, 1998, as described by Lisa Brush. The race between the St. Louis Cardinals’ slugger Mark McGwire and the Chicago Cubs’ own Sammy Sosa. “It wasn’t just about the home run record, it was a symbol of the St. Louis - Chicago sports rivalries. It meant a lot to the people of St. Louis, especially baseball fans” (Brush). The two cities are not very far apart, which results in the clashing of Cubs and Cards or Blackhawk and Blues fans anywhere that there’s a T.V. with a game on at. However, this day was special.

Covenant Village of Cromwell is a retirement community that is a subsidiary of Covenant Village Retirement Communities, which hosts fourteen retirement locations throughout the United States. The location I worked for has several departments, such as nursing, independent living, housekeeping, and dining services. It houses hundreds of residents in three main categories: independent living, semi-independent living, and assisted living. There are approximately 300 staff members that work across campus in a variety of roles, such as nursing, maintenance, activities, housekeeping, and aides. I worked within dining services, where there were about 50 staff members with two main dining rooms on campus. The dining rooms were responsible for providing meals to the residents: either breakfast, lunch, or dinner, depending on each resident’s individual needs.

There were two dining room managers and four floor supervisors, so each side and one manager and two supervisors. Within the kitchens, there were three different divisions, which were the cooks, the wait staff, and the utility staff. Within my division, wait staff, there were also trainers, who were tasked with watching over and training new staff. There were also three different roles within wait staff, including the hosts, the runners, and the servers.

The easiest way to explain exchange theory is by using relationships. “There are two basic ways relationships are connected: negative and positive” (Allan 2014:352).

While, a positive relationship is where an exchange happens in both directions, making the relationship stronger. When there is a negative exchange going on between two people you can tell what it will lead to if there is not a way to make it positive.
