Observation And Demographic Analysis

The topic studied in this naturalistic observational research study was called “pick me up.” The purpose of this study was to place a note card on the ground labeled “pick me up” and observe the type of person that picked the card up. The research question was “Which gender will pick up the card more and which gender will react more?” The researchers had three hypotheses: (1) More women will smile when reading the card than men, (2) More men than women will notice the card and continue walking, and (3) More men than women will notice the card.

The North Hanover Mall is an average shopping center with various stores and small attractions. Typically, the mall is not over-crowded; however, during the evenings and weekends it is well-traveled. There are the average chain stores such as JCPenny’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Hallmark, and Bath and Body Works. Likewise, there are some smaller, lesser known stores, for example, a few nail and hair salons, cafes, a pizza shop, and a sports apparel store. In general, there is a diverse mix of people shopping, from ethnicity to ages and group sizes. The night I choose to do my social observation the mall was much busier than I had anticipated. There was a Halloween event and an antique car show; both circumstances brought more individuals than usual into the shopping complex.

Body language plays a substantial role in the ways females and males differentiate from each other. One’s identity lies in the way in which one holds themself. McCloskey claims, “It’s hard to pass,” acknowledging that the body language one naturally acquires does not necessarily represent the character on the inside. McCloskey and Walker both address hip positioning when standing and walking. McCloskey claims that “Men walk from their shoulders and women

According to the US Census Bureau, as of July 1, 2015 the estimated population of the United States was 321.4 million. Of this number, the percentage of people who identified as Black or African American alone was 13.2 percent. There were no estimates for people who identified as Black or African American in combination with one or more additional races. (Population). According to the 2010 U.S. Census, on April 1, 2010 the U.S. population was 308.7 million and out of that number, 13 percent or 38.9 million people identified as Black or African American alone and one percent or 3.1 million people identified as Black or African American in combination with one or more additional races. These two groups combined total 42.0 million, or 14 percent

I started off by gathering research for the demographic factors that would be easy to find for both cities by looking at the US Census database as well as the American Community Survey database. I was able to get through this process fairly quickly because the US Census publishes ‘quick facts’ about each city and I was able to do a side by side comparison between San Jose, CA and St. Louis, MO. After filling out the main demographics, it was time to fill the table with health prevalence rates, number of uninsured people, food insecurity and etc. I was able to find a lot of the health rankings through BRFSS. CDC and County Health Rankings (refer to table for specific information). I used County Health Rankings in the case where I wasn’t able

During the Victorian era, women were expected to play a specific role in society, which was the perfect mother and wife. They had to take care of their family and house, and in addition, they had to support their husbands no matter what, while no one thought about them and their needs. In this paper, I am going to analyze the role women were expected to play in order not to be criticized or be left out by society through the novel The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, using Helen as the perfect example of how women were expected to act and what they really wanted to do. Also, by doing so I am going to demonstrate that Helen could perfectly fit in nowadays’ society.

There is a differentiation among both social classes and genders in regards to how they

The city is part of Butler County and part of the Cincinnati area. The following data will provide us an overview not only of the demographics but also of the health condition and problems that affects the city. All the data presented comes from a few reliable sources which provide a more accurate information for the presentation of the city statistic overview.

In both essays, “Yes, Ma’am” by Deirdre N. McCloskey and “Men, Women, Sex and Darwin” written by Natalie Angier the idea of which factor has more influence on behavior and characteristic of men and women are discussed: genetics or culture. It means are the gestures and characteristics constructed naturally or were hammered out long ago as evolutionary psychologists declare. McCloskey’s experience of cross gendering shows that much of behavior is acquisitive. She claims, although, it is really hard not to be read by others, but by watching and learning it can be achievable because much of the behavior is culturally specific and variable from person to person. In this masculine world, the strong anxiety comes after a male to female due to the

The age group that was chosen is the adults of Chicago aged 30-64. Data about this group can be found from the US Census Bureau, for the 2010 Census.

On November 13, I decided to analyze how the behaviours and body languages of males and females during a bus ride by using participant observation as my method of collecting data (also commonly known as ethnographic field notes). I did this experiment by taking the Translink #49 bus from the University of British Columbia bus loop at 1 PM in the afternoon to the final stop, Metrotown Station and rode the same bus back to campus at 6 PM in the evening. I believe the data I have gathered from this observation is very interesting because in Canada, there is an emphasis on closing the sex gap between males and females by showing that there are little or no differences (excluding the physical sense) between the two. Therefore, I was curious if there were behavioural and social variations between the two sexes in an open space, and I thought that observing other people’s actions and body languages on a public transportation like the bus would be able to answer my questions if there were differences . I would argue that we can learn a lot from the way we act through the patterns I have seen and use that to be more conscious about our actions when we hop on a bus ride. Originally, I expected to find little difference between the two sexes, because I did not anticipate that humans would act differently due to their sex in a closed space that they had to stay in for a temporary amount of time. However, my findings have shown that there are varying patterns of behaviour between males

It is important to be aware of the differences between men and women in the art of nonverbal communication. Knowing these differences can be helpful in understanding why a person is doing a particular action and what it means. As was previously noted, women are more openly emotional and intimate so the body language they use and the reason they use it will be different from the man, who tends to be more reserved with emotional manners. Females are usually more expressive than men and are more likely to return a smile. They do not use as many gestures as men unless they are trying to gain approval from someone, but will usually opt for playing with their hair or clothing or placing their hands in their lap in social situations. Men, on the other hand, do not smile as much as women. They do use more gestures than females, such as sweeping arm and hand motions, in conversation. (West Virginia Department of Education) Males and females also use different body language in the realm of

Demography is the study of the components of population variation and change. Death rate and birth rate are two determinants of population change. Theory of Demographic Transition is comparatively recent theory that has been accepted by several scholars throughout the world. This theory embraces the observation that all countries in the world go through different stages in the growth of population. A nation's economy and level of development is directly related to that nation's birth and death rates. Population history can be divided into different stages. Some of the scholars have divided it into three and some scholars have divided it into five stages. These stages or classifications demonstrate a

The question that I set out to study was whether more men or women used their phones while walking. I expected more women than men to use their phones while walking because I believe that women spend more time on social media, texting, and making phones call when they are in public spaces, particularly in the mall, which is where I conducted the observation. Women often go to the mall in groups, and when in the groups, they tend to look at social media together or text others as they travel from one store to another. My hypothesis was that more women than men would use their phones while walking.
