Blog #9 - Blog Analysis Revision

For our 9th blog, we were told to revise a section of our blog analyses. My revision will be from my fourth blog analysis. I was really excited about this one, and so proud, but I realise that it was like my other blog analyses in its format.

This is the conclusion that I had written:
Overall, these three blog posts by Disney Parks give a good, well-rounded idea of what the Park is about and what they do. The ideas that they portray can inspire other Parks to do the same.

My revision is as follows:
Overall, these three blog posts by Disney Parks give a good, well-rounded idea of what the Park is about and what they do. "See The Jeweled..." is a good representation of Disney's attempt to be more culturally aware, "New Sips…" gives adults an idea if they want to get away from their kids for a while, and "Wildlife Wednesdays: Sea Turtles..." appeals to nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. The ideas that they portray can inspire other parks to do the same.

Blog #8 -- Halloween

Well, it’s an open blog day, again. What do you suppose I should write about this time? Not much has happened in my life right now. Halloween is coming, which is awesome. I love the holiday, mostly because I like fall and I love all of the scary things that happen during the month. Last year, they had a showing at the Embassy Theater of “Nosveratu,” a vampire movie from the early 20s. Afterwards, if you paid an extra dollar, you were able to go on a haunted tour though the Embassy Theater’s underground. I loved watching the movie. Some scenes were actually kind of creepy, if you were tuned into the movie like I was. Other times it was ridiculous and funny at some of the expressions and dramatic poses done by the actors. The tour was a nice way to end the movie. It was not scary, like it tried to be, but you were able to go to places that normally only the staff could go. Also, the guides had little history lessons of the theater as you went to different areas, which were interesting and entertaining to hear. Plus, it was great to walk around after that long movie.

Blog #7 -- Brainstrorm of Contemporary Problems in Business

The blog that I will write today is a brainstorm of contemporary problems in business. To be honest, I am drawing a blank as to what those might be. Though I think I can come up with some hypothetical situations that could be contemporary.

The first situation is a company that constantly says one thing to someone, but means another. For example, a manager tells an employee that their services are beyond the manager’s expectations. The employee takes this as a compliment, but the manager meant that the employee was doing such a horrible job that they exceeded the manager’s expectation.

That brings up another point. Not just in business, but in general, a contemporary problem that I think is the biggest problem is miscommunication. Communication is the key for a successful business. Lack of it can cause problems between workers and departments. For example, a memo is put out that a meeting time has been changed to an earlier time, but for some reason, some people did not get it and therefore arrived too late for the meeting.

Blog #6 -- Open Blog

For my open blog this time around, I am not quite sure what to write. I have been drawing a lot of blanks lately, which have not been good for my studies. I have so much work to do over the Fall Break that it probably won’t feel like a break. But I think if I try to do everything I need to do today and a little into the next couple of days, I will hopefully have a couple of days of actual break.

I just got the results back for my test in biology. I did better, much better than the last test, but still nowhere near where I want or need to be. I changed my study habits for this test than the last one, so that probably had something to do with the better grade, but I need to step it up a bit more. I think I am going to try another strategy. I hope this one gets me that “A.”
