Observing a Stranger
Observing a Stranger I picked to do my observation of a woman at a park playing with her son. It was on Monday are last day of nice beautiful warm sunny weather we had this week. And the park was packed with lots of children and their mothers. All enjoying themselves before the rain was to return. This woman I observed was about 5ft 2in and about 130lbs. She had long brown hair with some blond and purple strips in it. She was also very tan for this time of year. She was dress in black short and a purple tank top and black and silver flip flops. She looks to be about 23yrs old and a soccer mom. This woman is really enjoying her time with her son. They play on the slide, she pushes him in the swings, and they play on the jungle gym. She has a lot of energy to be able to stay caught up with him. She appears to have a lot of patience with him it is really good to see. She enjoys the other kids at the park as well she plays with all of them. She looks really happy to be at the park with her son. She is not like some of the moms just sitting back watching. When her little boy or any of the children get their feelings hurt or is upset she is kind and patient. From the way she is with the children, she must have a career working with them. I think she may be a teacher or working to be a teacher. Or maybe she works with children in another field, since she seems to enjoy it so much. She has the personality and qualities it takes to be a great teacher, especially for elementary children. It takes a special kind to be great at that job. She seems like she would be great. I think this woman lives in a 3 bedroom house and has just one son but wants more children to fill the house. At this point in her life I don’t think she is married. She appears to want that when she finds the right one, but she doesn’t look like she is in a hurry. At this time her son and her career are her first priority. After watching this young lady for about a half hour or

    She has been working for the same school for over 20 years. She started off as a teacher assistant in a pre-kindergarten classroom, which my oldest child was attending at the time. Esther came to Chicago with very little education, but a great desire to succeed. Esther says, “I have always known that I wanted to be a teacher. When I came to the United States, I came with the desire to succeed and learn. I did research on many schools and found out about programs that would help me achieve my goal. I was not going to take no for an answer.” Esther is a very friendly and enthusiastic woman. I often see her talking and laughing with parents on school grounds or in social events. Yes, Esther attends many social events in our neighborhood. She is well known by parents and children in the community. She has seen my children grow up and she has been a great support for me. I chose to interview Esther because not only does she work with children, she encourages women to become the best that they can be so that they can provide for their families and become independent. This is what she did for me. She encouraged me to go back to school and get my degree in…

    She has the middle class values of honesty, hard work, progress, achievement and respectability (Friedman, et al., 2003). Individualism and equality are valued, but she stresses respect for God, family and elders; good grades and academic achievement above all else. Health care for the children is important to her. She utilizes her health care insurance to makes sure they have all the needed physicals, immunizations, eye and dental care recommended by their pediatrician. She has delayed her own routine health and dental care and screenings to meet work or family commitments. I explained to Lois that in a recent study a questionnaire was given at both men and women to evaluate family burdens; domestic responsibilities; the appraisal of work and family; and values involved in work-family balance. The results of this study show that, in the present economic and cultural context, assuming family burdens and domestic responsibilities increases the positive appraisal of work and family (Cantera, Cubells, Martinez & Blanch, 2009).…

    The Stranger

    • 980 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Many people often base their opinions on a person by judging his whole life in general and his attitude towards life without caring about who the person really is deep down inside. This unfair reasoning can occur in the courtroom when people are put on trial and the judge and the jury must delve into the life of the accused and determine if he is a hazard to society. Occasionally, the judge and jury are too concerned with the accused’s past that they become too biased and give an unfair conviction and sentencing. In his novel, The Stranger, Albert Camus uses the courtroom as a symbol to represent society that judges the main character, Meursalt, unfairly to illustrate how society forms opinions based on one’s past.…
