Imagine standing in a line at a store preparing to pay for your items and right before it is your turn to checkout, a couple cuts in front of you. Even though it sounds unlikely, this exact scenario happened to me while standing in line at a local Wal-Mart in Tallahassee. While standing with a surprised look on my face, I watched the couple slowly walk up and place their items on the belt to proceed to checkout. Many emotions traveled through my mind as I witnessed the couple cut in front of everyone waiting in line. Initially, I was angry because of the family’s disrespect but then I began to find the scenario amusing. The cashier, with a confused look on her face, asked if the older couple was checking out with me. After informing the cashier that they were not with me, I decided to allow them to proceed to checkout. Surprisingly, neither the man nor the woman said a word. I thought that they both would at least acknowledge the fact that I allowed them to checkout before me. However, they failed to recognize everyone standing behind them. It was as if they were not aware that they were cutting a whole line of people; I felt invisible. It was at that moment, I had to say something. As I gently tapped the older man on his shoulder I asked, “Are you aware that you are cutting this line?” With a bland look on his face, he screamed “What did you say young lady?” After repeating myself two more times his wife answered, “Oh, we did not notice you all were waiting?” Even…

They were also able to deduce from this study that those who preceded the intruders in the line felt more distaste for the queue jumpers as opposed to those in front of the queue jumpers (Milgram et al, 1986). This study demonstrates the social implications that queue jumping can have on an individual and the reason that so much weight has been assigned to the importance of researching queue jumping is because through this human interest, social theories, such as the “Social Identity Theory”…

Tremco, a commercial sealant and waterproofing company, was contacted on 7/27/17 for information regarding the issues observed. The sales representative, Liz Bailey, stated that the issues observed with the existing traffic system are consistent with urethane based traffic coatings.

Dziadzio, Smith, Chandler, and Castleberry (2016) did a research on how the location of the gopher nest could affect its survival. They found that nests that were away from the burrow in sandy areas survived more than the ones in burrow aprons. They also learned that the nests that were in places that burned up during the research had a very low survival (Dziadzio et al., 2016). Many research studies are being done to find ways to change the environment to help prevent the extinction of the…

used to be called the “Heart of Chicago” when people first settled there, then there was an exodus.

People opened businesses, and Mexican American community groups supported the community’s families. Now as in the past there still are organizations that help people who move to this part of Chicago. A heritage is a legacy; it comes from the past and influences the present. The Mexican…
