A business in my neighborhood is the icee stand at the corner of the high school. This business is a very productive business because whenever high schoolers come out of school on warm or hot days, they want something cold to eat. Not only is the icee’s cheap, but they are very delightful to the taste. The icees come in different flavors such as coco, mango, cherry, lime and rainbow. They also come in different sizes, a $1.50, $2.00, $4.00 and $5.00 size. When someone gets an icee, they have the choice two either get one flavor or two flavors at the same time. The icee’s are a very sweet and addicting to eat. They definitely are a good way to cool off on warmer days.
As a Spanish major, it would be good for me to be bilingual so I can attract more customers to buy the icee’s I am selling. This would give me more profit and customers buying my product. As a philosophy major, I would need to think critically as to how I can make more profit off of my business based on the people around. Since the business is outside a high school, I would show up around the time that kids get out of school and use some type of sound to gain their attention. As a mathematics major, I can calculate my revenue based off previous days of business and how much I spend on buying the product.
The three majors I used were philosophy, Spanish, and mathematics. What I learned after writing this short analysis is how analytical a person can get describing anything, I have learned this throughout the process of analysis. But what gives this assignment a further perception is how different views can change the analogy of the thing you are analyzing.
i really liked how you went so deep in detail even to the prices which is really important.
This place sounds really good. Your observations from your three major’s point of views make a lot of sense in analyzing the store .
This brought back such good memories of the ice stand that used to be outside my middle school everyday after classes ended. I like the lens you used as a philosophy major and how you showed your understanding of what one of that major would do in this business.
I really like the way you go in-depth about how being bi-lingual can be very profitable to your business.
I wrote about something similar- the deli near my house selling bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches. I think the way you looked at this from the stance of someone who is bilingual was smart because that would definitely attract more customers.
You described this icee stand very well using these three majors. It reminded me of how much I loved icees and it took me back to my childhood!
