9A - Testing the Hypothesis, Part 2

WHO: In part 1 of testing my hypothesis I talked about the necessity of better guarding our nation's hospitals. There are plenty of places that have the same background or follow procedures like hospitals do. Hotels, for example, give people a place to stay for a given amount of time. Granted the majority of people in hotels aren't losing limbs or fighting AIDS but you get my point. Once again, I conducted five interviews on people for this project but the only difference is that they don't necessarily see my need as an "opportunity."

- Ronald is a family friend who works for La Quinta Inn and Suites. I presented him my opportunity and he said hotels, like hospitals, hold people but don't need tremendous security measures.

- Monica is a friend I went to community college with and works at a movie theater named Silverspot. She said that theaters admit anyone, who has money, inside the way hospitals do when someone comes in sick.

- Jason is my uncle-in-law and he works as a substitute teacher. He believes schools are relatively safe in our area. The school has to manage an average of 1200 students a day just like hospitals manage multiple patients a day.

- Alejandro and Shenalle are my friends and they work for a restaurant named Brook's Burgers. That place of business operates like a hospital would because everyone has to follow a set of processes specified by guidelines and regulations. The restaurant is pretty busy and they have to manage multiple people going in and out.

WHAT: The need isn't necessarily security for sick patients, it's security for the right reasons. People shouldn't have to be patted down or walk through metal detectors just to get service at their favorite sports bar. My interviewees tend to believe that security is important but not necessary in every environment.

WHY: The underlying cause for the outsider's is different than the insider's because security isn't necessary in every day-to-day scenario. While security and its measures will always be important, we can't expect every place that holds various groups of people to have maximum security prison protocol.

INSIDE THE BOUNDARY
OUTSIDE THE BOUNDARY
Hospital patients who need proper security from outside events/harmful people
Groups of people in places like hospitals that don’t need to be watched over or guarded
Better security measures in hospitals across the country
Forcing security on every event/place where a large number of people cn be found
Certain incidents in hospitals like patient suicide could turn into homicide or worse
While security is important, you don’t want to be strip searched just to watch a game at a bar

  1. Hello Brandon! I disagree with your interviewees. I feel that all those environments need as much security as possible. I definitely do not think schools are safe enough since 2018 was the worst year for the U.S. in school shootings. I personally can not go to a movie theater without thinking about the Aurora, Colorado shooting in 2012 and the deadliest shooting in U.S. history came from a man who was shooting from a hotel window. I think your idea for better security in hospitals can also be implemented in these other environments if it is efficient and does not cost too much.

  2. Hey Brandon, I just read your post and it was a great read! I feel hotels should have better securities as well as movie theaters. I do not know about Monica, but every-time I go to the movie theaters with my friends, we always movie hop because it is so easy to do. If I can do it than that means anyone can do it and that demonstrates how weak security is at the theaters.
