The Greatest Invention of All Time
In my opinion, the greatest invention of all time is mobile phone, because it makes our life more interesting and convenient. If we have some emergency, we can contact each other. In addition, nowadays there are so many websites that we can read the books, search some information, and play the games by our phones in our spare time. We can also store some important information in the phone that we can find it all the time we want. For example, When I just came to USA, I always forgot my social security number. Then I store it into my phone in case something happens suddenly. Finally, it has a lot of APPs, such as the alarm clock, camera and so many amazing systems. Although it’s a tiny electronic equipment, it contains a strong system that enrich our lives.
Summary respond of “Rescue 471”
The Chapter “Rescue 471” by Peter canning is mainly talking about how there are always some fake emergencies that makes them feel annoyed. A 911 call comes from a nursing home, there was an unconscious patient, and the nurse says that the patient has a history of seizures. Peter finds out that the patient is a faker ad let him smell a kind of medicine. They send the 471 ambulance to Enfield street for a shooting. They arrived to the scene first than the cops, they went to the house were the guy was shot, when they arrive the guy was not shot, he tough he was shot in the sidewalk but what really happened was that he hit himself with something. Anyways they took him to the hospital. After that Arthur and Peter response to the call of a motor vehicle accident on Edgewood street, it was a minor accident and they took the patient to the hospital. Therefore they went to a market in the north, they were called for a back pain. The guy states that the owners from the market had been hitting him hard in his head. Peter finds that the guy has an Hematoma in his head and takes him to the Emergency Room.
This chapter makes me think of the relationship between people. We should be honest and rigorous on the medical treatment, because it’s about peoples’ lives and death. If you every time cheats to others, they will not trust you again. It reminds me of my friend’s mother who is working in the hospital’s emergency room. She said that time is very precious, so we should cherish.

There are different types of jobs for us to choose nowadays. If you like to de some hands on jobs, you can be a designer. If you like to play with children, you can become a teacher. Problem-solving jobs, orderly, mechanical work and Persuasive or Leadership Person are three types of work that I like.
“Problem-solving jobs” means using your brain efficiently to solve problems. Budget analysis is one of these jobs. This job helps public and private institutions organize their finances. They prepare budget reports and monitor institutional spending. There are three reasons that I would love this job. First, a budget analyst advises various institutions – including governments, universities and business – on how to organize their finances. So you can communicate with different kinds of people and formulate opinions. Thirdly, dealing with these problems will help me solve some financial problems in my family.
“Persuasive or Leadership Position” means that you will be a leader of the group and say something to guide somebody. Since I was a child, my dream has been to become a teacher. I believe that I have the passion to make a difference and influence children and guide them as they grow up. I also want to assess students to evaluate their abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. I want to be a teacher for developing a new generation of thinking individuals. inspiring students not only on academic but also personality. Although the salaries are not as high as I imagine, I enjoy the time playing with children and teaching them some new knowledge.
The last one I want to talk about is “Orderly, Mechanical work”. This means using machines such as computers or other machines to deal with some problems. A business manager is a person who drives the work of others in order to run a major business efficiently and make a large profit.According to Occupational Outlook Handbook "Business graduates are in high demand worldwide business touches on pretty much every aspect of modern human society careers with a business degree are diverse and often highly paid and these assumptions are likely to be largely true".
In the future I think that I will choose one of the jobs in these three big categories and do a good job on it because of my passion and interest.

Process Essay
Research shows that more than 500,000 fire accidents happened in New York City last year, and this is really a horrible data for us to imagine. To avoid the trauma of people losing their lives, learning how to put out and escape from a fire is a significant skill to survive. There is a high chance that you will deal with an out-of-control fire at least once in your life, so knowing how to use a fire extinguisher is an important skill to possess. Here is the process of using a fire extinguisher in an emergency.
First, call for 911 before attempting to extinguish a serious fire. If you cannot put out the fire, you’ll be in danger.
Secondly, check for your own safety before starting to extinguish a fire. If the fire is extremely serious, you should protect yourself first and leave this place quickly. The smoke can make you unconscious, so you need to put a wet towel over your mouth and walk downstairs immediately.
Thirdly, assess the fire and ready the fire extinguisher.
Next, remember the simple acronym P.A.S.S ( pull, aim, squeeze, sweep ) to help you use the fire extinguisher effectively. I found the meaning of this acronym in Google search. “P” stands for pull the pin and this will allow you to discharge the extinguisher. “A” stands for aim at the base of the fire, so you will hit the fuel. “S” stands for squeeze the top handle or lever. The last “S” stands for sweep from side to side until the fire is completely out. Start using the extinguisher from a safe distance away, then move forward. Once the fire is out, keep an eye on the area in case it starts again.
It is important to be aware that the typical fire distinguishes will contain around 10 second of extinguishing power.
Finally, tend to the area if you successfully put out the fire.
Fire is important in our daily life, but it is also a dangerous thing. We must learn how to put out the fire in an emergency. Although the knowledge of fire is necessary to absorb, experience is the best teacher.

Rescue 471 Analysis
This week I finished the book Rescue 471 by Peter Canning. The final two sections are called “Memory” and “The Job”. Although the ending is bitter sweet, it ended on a high note.
The chapter called “You Ain’t Fooling Me” is mainly talking about how Peter and Arthur respond to a call from a family for their great grandmother who is acting crazy and they want to take her away. Peter recommends her family to put her in the social service. A significant idea in this chapter is when Arthur says, “She knows where she is and there is nothing physically wrong with her”. I felt sympathy on this event, because their family didn’t want to take care of her.
The chapter called “Life” is mainly talking about a call for a baby cocked but not breathing. It’s just a seven days old baby. The baby was on AZT, vomited up her milk and had trouble breathing. His father took care of the baby really carefully while Peter shared fear and concern with him. Finally, they save the baby. A significant idea in this chapter is on 280, “It’s one of those moments that make me stop and appreciate what I am doing. Life on earth.” Peter thought about what he contributed on his job and feels that it’s worth saving so many lives. Every life is precious, so we should cherish what we have.
In the chapter called “Snake Bite”, Peter and Arthur respond to a call for snake bite. The patient really likes snakes. She was bitten by the snake she kept. A significant idea is on page 243, the girl said, “I was the first one in line when they come to town. I seen it ten times I love that place. They got all kinds of animals.” The movie takes place in the jungle and there are many animals in it. Clearly, She is a girl who is interested in animals and would like to cultivate them.
At the end of the book, many patients still remembered him, even though he didn’t know who they were. This made him feel extremely moved. Although the negative effects of burnout spill over into every area of life including his social life, he didn’t regret his contributions to the job. He will keep on working hard. He is thankful to his coworkers as they are fighting side by side with him and their hardworking despite the terrible dispatch systems.
I enjoyed reading about Peter’s job and the relationship between the paramedicand the patients. I would recommend this book to someone who wants to be a paramedic. I would like to learn more about the academic vocabulary.
Software Engineer
This profile is about Dzeudet Hadziosmanovic. He is a software engineer. A software engineer is someone who makes some computer program that translates the real words into numbers. Software engineers use the same programs all over the world. All programming language words are from English. There aren’t any changes no matter wherever you work. But it is a boring, frustrating and complicated job. He graduated in electrical engineering from the university in Sarajevo in 1979. And his first job was working in the Department for Mathematic Modeling in Bosnia for two years. The life there was very comfortable. They worked forty hours per week, but this included one hour for lunch, and one hour for talking and drinking coffee. Actually they worked four hours a day. However, they took the same paid off as all day worked in a busy place. After that, he went to a software company in US for nearly six years.
He thinks his job is hard. First, there are a few places in the world that do software programming, so you just do it by yourself without any help. Secondly, it takes a long time to finish a program. The average project lasts almost 3-5 years. Thirdly, there is no freedom to get something real and no time to do what you interested in. On the other hand, it is like paradise. First, you feel secure because you’ll benefit from the software company. For example: Education is free, retirement is provided and your health insurance is all included in the company. Secondly, he had much leisure time when he worked in the company in Bosinia.
A couple of things surprised me about the profile. I was surprised about how hard the job is and the attitude of Dzeudet Hadziosmanovic on dealing with the job of software engineer. He is tired of working for sixty to eighty hours a week and there is no freedom to get something real. He is looking forward to taking more vacations. He thinks that the job in US is different from Bosnia. Although the car and the house is really attractive to him, reading more books and spending time with his family may be more important. Your brain becomes exhausted by continuous working, and every time you take an hour for lunch or spend a weekend at home, you give it a little breather. Go away for a week or two, and it feels better than ever.

Cat-w:In group we shrink
Have you ever thought about the difference between studying in the group and individuals? When you are studying in a group, will you feel easier than individual? According to “In Group We Shrink” by Carol Tarvis, people will show their responsibility when they are individuals. In contrast, those who work in the group can be lazy because somebody else has already taken care of it. This phenomenon called “diffusion of responsibility” or “social loafing” often happens around us, no matter on the campus, on the street or at home.
Human is one of the most species that like to purse the sense of fairness. And everybody would contrast your own contributions to other people in the group. If you find that their tasks are as much as yours, you will keep hard working. If their tasks are fewer than yours, you will reduce the amount of work to maintain the fairness through slacking. In addition, as the number of people in the group increases, individual members may feel less motivated to contribute when one person is held directly responsibility for completing the task. The result is that people may not work as hard as they would if they were working alone.
According to the article “Behavior, Motivation and Self-control”, an experience was done that illustrated this phenomenon. In the study people were given an ordinary task that peeling the potatoes, and to peel as many as possible in a given amount of time. Some people worked alone, and they were told that the number of potatoes they each peeled would be recorded. Other peeled together and they were told that only the total number of potatoes they peeled would be recorded. So it would be impossible to tell how many any one person had done. The research compared the result of people who worked alone and those who worked together to see if there was any difference. Finally, they took the average score of the people working in a group peeled significantly fewer potatoes than people who worked alone.
Furthermore, a study analyzed by Max Ringelmcwm in 1913 found when he asked a group of men to pull on a rope; they did not pull as hard. They did not pull as much efforts into the activity when they were pulling alone.
The main explanation for social loafing is that people feel unmotivated when working with a group of people, because they think that their contributions will not be considered. Result in “The more people in a group, the lazier each individual in it becomes”. Actually, we should evaluate highly of ourselves and think that we can do well on everything and be active in the group.
