Abstract The study was conducted to identify and evaluate the consumers’ behavior on exotic foods of the consumers’ in. The descriptive method of research was used in this study. The researcher distributed the questionnaires to four restaurants. Each restaurant has a quota of ten respondents a total of forty respondents for the researcher’s convenience. Convenience-Quota sampling technique a non-probability sampling was used in getting the respondents. There were twenty-nine (29) male and eleven (11) female who consume exotic foods in the selected restaurant. The researchers selected a particular exotic foods to choose from namely Tugak (Field Frog), Kamaru (Mole Crickets), Bayawak/Barag (Monitor Lizard), and Dagang Palay (Farm Rats) and others if they have consumed other exotic foods aside from the exotic food that are mentioned. Here are the other exotic foods Snake, Eel, Kambing (Farm Goat), Balot (Fertilized duck embryo), Tatad (Huge worm), Pawikan (Turtle) and Dog. Since the topic is generally for consumers’ behavior on exotic foods. Among those four exotic foods Tugak (Field Frog) have the highest consumers because it is more realistic to eat rather than the insects and reptiles. The researchers find out that the consumers behavior on exotic food is based on its attitudes and perceptions of individuals. Exotic food is food that a person finds strange and/or unfamiliar. Exotic food can be unusual types of meats, fruits, vegetables or spices or it can be the way that the food is prepared. (Fred Flanders, eHow Contributor) Exotic food was coined when people from one region/country moved to other countries and started experimenting with not so regular foods, as a result of non-availability of shortage of regular foods. However, there is no record as to the actual time of exotic dishes coming into existence. According to a blog (Manyaman Mangan Queni ,2009), due to revolts, floods, disasters and the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo, Kapampangans experienced extreme famine, hunger and poverty in the 18th century mainly in Angeles City. This is the reason why Kapampangans created dishes out of the most horrible creatures and weirdest ingredients. Tugak (field frogs), daguis pale ampong atbu (field mice found in rice field and sugarcane plantations), barag/bayawak (monitor lizard) and kamaru (mole cricket) are just some of the variations of exotic dishes in Angeles City. The concept of â€Å"exotic food† seems to be well known to many consumers. Some people are more familiar to exotic food consumption and even accepted it as a part of their lifestyle but to others it may be a bit eccentric. Each individual have different reasons why they eat exotic foods, may it be of the taste or appearance of the food or the influence harbor from the environment. Consumer behavior is the study of the characteristics of individual consumers such as demographics and behavioral variables in an attempt to understand people’s wants. It also tries to assess influences on the consumer from groups such as family, friends, reference groups, and society in general. (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, April 2012) Basic idea behind the consumer research was to describe each respondent in terms of their demographic profile and the attitudes of an individual when it comes in eating exotic food. Consumer Behavior consists of ideas, feelings, experiences, and actions of consumers with additional environmental factors. Consumer behavior is a dynamic process, because of the continuous changes in ideas, perception and activities of consumers’ as an individual or in a group. (Olson and Peter, 2008) Factors that influence the consumers’ to eat exotic foods should be considered. Each individual differ on their perception, personality, and preferences towards eating this type of foods.

As part of the process, the researchers conducted statistical analysis and interpretation. Consumers’ Behavior on Exotic Foods was the output of the study. Scope and Delimitation This study focused on determining the consumers’ behavior on exotic foods. The researchers delimited the respondents to forty (40) consumers’ particularly those who only eat exotic foods. The researchers also delimited the study within four restaurants in Angeles City namely, 19 Copung-Copung, Apag Marangle, Everybody’s Cafe, and Gubat Grill. Exotic foods that were tackled were also delimited into four kinds specifically, Tugak (Field Frog), Kamaru (Mole Crickets), Bayawak/Barag (Monitor Lizard), and Dagang Palay (Farm Rats). Convenience Quota sampling technique was used in the selection of the participants. Significance of the Study The researchers intended to know the consumers’ behavior on exotic foods. This study would be most significant to the following: a. Consumers This study will serve as a good reference to the consumers’ of exotic foods for them to gain knowledge on how exotic foods affect each individual’s attitude. b. Students The study serves as their reference material in doing research work and as a reading material to find out the behavior of the consumers’ towards eating exotic foods. c. Future Researchers This study will serve as an out-growth for future study. It will help future researchers as a form of resources in fulfilling their study. Method The descriptive method of research was used with the questionnaires as the main instrument for gathering primary data and academic journals, the internet, and reference books for secondary data. Descriptive research, according to Santiago (1985), concerns the present situation, prevailing conditions, current practices, contemporary events, characteristics of groups of individuals, their behavioral patterns, attitudes or opinions. Hence, this method was used to analyze the consumers’ behavior towards eating exotic foods. Participants. Participants of this study were forty (40) consumers’ of exotic foods that of those who only had experience on eating exotic food. In order to obtain the maximum scattering of consumers’ behavior, the convenience sampling method was adopted, where in ten (10) respondents from the four (4) restaurants visited were selected. Instrument This study used the â€Å"Consumers’ Behavior on Exotic Foods Survey† as questionnaire. The questionnaire is composed of the profile of the participants, and the survey proper. The profile of the participants includes the gender, age, marital status, nationality, native language, religion, occupation, and income. The researchers also employed questions on which of the exotic foods tackled have they tasted and how often do they eat and from what source do they get the exotic foods. A ranking system was also used to rate the respondents’ agreeableness on a five-point scale with 1 representing highly agree and 5 representing highly disagree. Sampling Technique This study will make use of the convenience sampling technique, a non-probability sampling design in choosing respondents. The researchers had drawn a sample from a part of the population which is close to hand. This was done for the convenience of the researchers due to large population size and time limitation. Data Collection Procedure The researchers asked permission to the respondents to conduct a survey. The questionnaires were the main instruments for data gathering which were personally distributed by the researcher himself. They contained a covering letter describing the study and indicating the confidentiality of the information that may be given out by the respondents. Data Analysis Frequency counts and descriptive statistics were used to summarize the result of respondents. Results In this research, a total of forty (40) questionnaires were collected. Research findings were analyzed using Frequency counts and descriptive statistics to conduct results.

Discussion The researchers conducted a survey of the Consumers’ Behavior on Exotic Foods particularly in Angeles City. The researchers included in their study the respondents’ demographic profile, their attitudes towards the preparation of exotic foods specifically with the taste, health, and appearance and the factors that influenced them to eat exotic foods. The researchers included the demographic profile of exotic food consumers’ which revealed that men consumes exotic food more frequently than women. Men are more capable to eat any kind of food than women. Age, was also included which revealed that consumers aged between sixteen to twenty-five years old shows the highest frequency in the consumption of exotic foods. Age influences consumer behavior in a rather direct way. For instance, the wants of a 6-year old are not similar to those of a teenager. Consumer wants are basic in childhood but become complex in teenage and middle ages. In old age, consumer wants go back to basic. Furthermore, the psychological needs of people at different age groups are different thus the difference in consumer behavior. The respondents added the marital status, monthly income and occupation to the survey to be the basis of the respondents’ lifestyle while nationality, religion, and native language are used as basis for the cultural factors. Conclusion In this paper, exotic foods consumptions conducted by the help of questionnaires that has been answered by the consumers of exotic foods in different restaurant. In spite of the limited respondent number, this research can give an overview about consumers’ behavior towards exotic foods. Demographic analyses indicate that males are predominant consumers’ of exotic foods. Exotic consumers’ distribution shows that age ranges 16-25 constitutes the largest proportion, while â€Å"56 – above† has the smallest number with two (2) respondents. And most of the consumers are single Filipino catholic, belong to lower income group and also most of them are employed meaning they have the means to buy exotic foods in restaurant. The researchers conclude that religion is not a hindrance in consuming exotic foods as long as it is digestible. Since the researchers delimited the study and conducted questionnaires within Angeles, Pampanga only most of the respondents are Pampango or lived in Pampanga. Furthermore, usually the respondents consume tugak(field frog) because of its availability and it is palatable in most of the consumers. Even the foreign consumers choose to eat this exotic food. Eating exotic foods has been a traditional in some of the consumers; even though it is exotic it seems that it became a part of their eating habit and do not consider this food as an exotic and sometimes consume this with liquors as â€Å"Pulutan†. Consumers’ behavior shows that eating exotic foods is based on their perception and attitude. Consumers’ have different preferences in exotic food also based on their kind of taste and orientation in that food. If the consumers known the food as risky and look disgusting they will hesitate to eat exotic food but other consumers suggested to taste it to believe it that it is really delicious. Researchers as consumers really love it as they go in different restaurant to critic the real taste and give justice to the respondents and give firsthand information about exotic foods and not just according to the consumers.

Oral traditions Essay

M either ancient scholars believed Africa had no narrative prior to colonialism becaexercising there was no documented proof. Professor A.P. Newton, who was a severalize British historian in the archaeozoic 20th century, believed that there was no African history because most of the African guild was illiterate before the European intrusion. record, he said, only begins when men throng to writing. He, as well as others who had the homogeneous opinion, failed to realize that African communities existed long before colonialism and so had their own history, even though it had non been put into writing at the time. oral examination traditions demand played and go by to play all principal(prenominal)(p) roles in the history of Africa as well as its present. Songs, folklores, superstitions, etcetera atomic number 18 fairish some of the things that exhaust been passed from generation to generation ad-lib examly. We detect the yard of some of these superstitions in J.P . Clarks _Abiku_ as well as Wole Soyinkas _Abiku_. two verse forms ar based on tralatitious superstitions and it is evident from the title, _Abiku_, which is a word from the Yoruba wording of Nigeria that is used to describe a shaver that dies and is reborn, normally multiple times. It is believed that such kidskinren are not of the clement world, but quite a belong to the tonicity world and so they slide by going stake and off from angiotensin-converting enzyme world to the other unless the electric razors family is able to make the child stay in the piece world, utilize traditionalistic methods most times. These beliefs and actions are results of oral traditions and, even with the rise of Hesperian knowledge in Yoruba communities and Nigeria in general, continue to be upheld by some people. Clark and Soyinka are evidence of the continued dependence and belief in oral traditions by a set of Africans, even after extensive westerneducation.These Africans could be doing this as an indirect ascension against western ideas and principles that have sought to bemock and destroy African tillage. During the colonial era, the Europeans did their go around to destroy African culture, especially those that had to do with superstitions and spiritual beliefs that did not correspond with western principles. Concepts like reincarnation were frowned upon heavily by the European missionaries seeking to change the religious beliefs of Africans and since most aspects of life were based on religion at the time, changing wholenesss religious beliefs meant changing ones political, social and economic beliefs as well. However, with the rise of pagan nationalisms, Africans began to reject European standards as the ideal and focus on transport African culture gage to the forefront. Hence, we see Soyinka and Clark as well as many other African poets saving their cultural superstitions to their literary works, even though most of them are create verbally i n European languages.In Soyinkas _Abiku_ meter, near every broth is made up of cultural beliefs and practices as they relate to the _Abiku_ child. He even dips into non-African oral traditions in the line that says, remember/ this, and dig me deeper salve into/ the graven images swollen foot. (14-16). Here, Soyinka is referring to Oedipus, the Greek mythologic figure, and his use of this in his poem suggests that he wants to show that oral tradition is not just an African phenomenon but rather, exists in different cultures all around the world. While, he doesnt expand on this line, it is important because it stands out from the rest of the poem as it is not connected to Yoruba tradition at all and it makes known to its contemplateers the incident that oral traditions are universal.Also, Soyinka writes his poem from the subjects point of view as a means of graciousizing the character. The concept of _Abiku_ is usually explained as an other- worldly phenomenon, which made it e asier for a muckle of people to disassociate themselves with the idea. However, Soyinka writes his poem in first person in hunting lodge to make known to people the fact that _Abiku_ children do exist and they are, in fact, mankind creations. He brings the _Abiku_ child to the forefront and though the rhetoric is tinged with superstitions andcultural traditions, the fact that it is being told from the childs perspective is a humanizing effort.There is no doubt that the poem emphasizes cultural and spiritual notions, especially with the child, however, the poems use of rowing like Mothers (line 26) paints a human draw in the minds of the readers. The juxtaposition of spiritual and human language used in the poem lets the readers know that both the spiritual and the human are present in this _Abiku_ child. Therefore, the poet brings to clear the idea that the spiritual i.e. traditional and the human i.e. rational can exist and hold with one another. He is saying that African culture can exist spot by side with western culture and one doesnt have to ebb the other, which is the direct opposite of what was preached by European missionaries.Also, it is important to note that these two poets as well as most African writers are invested in the concept of Africanism. safekeeping African cultures alive is important and we see the poets using their poems to remind Africans and the world in general that African culture smooth exists and has not been destroyed by urbanization. Oral traditions have never been completely pass judgment as adequate sources with which to make any kinds of analyses because of the fickle nature of the human depot and so, writing these poems allows the poets show the readers that the culture is still there and these stories and beliefs have not been forgotten. It was important for Africans in historical times to repeatedly acknowledge the oral traditions so they would not forget any parts of it and this is to a fault one of the reaso ns why African writers usually add some elements of oral tradition into their works.A push-down storage of African communities did not have any means of arranging their culture for future generations so they just made sure the younger generations became awake of these traditions from the early stages of their lives so these traditions became engrained in their minds by the time they were adults. However, with the colonization of Africa, a lot of Africans are now able read and write these oral traditions and because of this easy access, a lot of Africans have become asleep of a lot of cultural traditions that would have been passed orally. So, the writers include oral traditions in their written works to bring these stories, beliefs, practices, etc. back into the minds of Africans and the world.This is whySoyinka and Clark include some traditional processes in their poetry. Soyinka writes about the charms that people believed would keep the _Abiku_ child from going back to the sp irit world Must I call for goats and cowries/for palm oil and sprinkled ash? He takes the reader into the world of the _Abiku,_ using cultural rituals, which then reminds the Africans who had forgotten and informs those who were not orphic to this information initially. Clark takes his readers into the immediate surround of the _Abiku_ child, both the physical environment and the spiritual environment Do stay out on the baobab tree/follow where you beguile your kindred spirits/if indoors is not enough for you.In conclusion, oral traditions are very important in African culture as well as other cultures around the world and the use of written language in toss oral traditions has been helpful in bringing forgotten histories back into the minds of its people.BIBLIOGRAPHYFage, J.

Donny Is My Leader

Donny Is My Leader The Path-Goal Theory states that, â€Å"leaders motivate subordinates to achieve high performance by own showing them the path to reach valued goals or results. † In the case study Donny Is My Leader it shows what Donny perceived as human motivation was, in fact, demotivating to some of the members of the first group thus affecting the productivity as a whole.

Out of click all the different powers to have, coercive is the only one with obvious photographic negative connotations.

Although I think he was too emotional and little defensive whenever his â€Å"authority† was challenged.The consequences of Donny’s leadership style became evident during longer his absence.With the Chainsmokers, I liked the lyrics.Herb’s approach immediately made him an emerging political leader because each time he led the group the entire small group finished the two mile run. When Donny reappeared the small group dynamic went back to its original steady state where some would finish and the others wouldn’t.Donny did his than usual chastising but to no avail. Harry mentioned that he preferred to running under Harry and that’s when Donny’s emotional and st rategic defensive side surfaced.Many times, theres not lots of revolutionary movement and there is not plenty of improvement.
