Assignment 2- Bug List

Problems in the World and Why

1. Being indecisive at the grocery store
1. WHY? I am either comparing prices and looking to see if I am missing anything I didn't think of, or am looking for alternative products from what I normally buy because I like to try variety. One of the new products I try may be better than the one I currently use and I may get more satisfaction out of using it.
2. Spending time rotating all the beer cans to face forward in the coolers in the football stadium's sky-boxes
1. WHY? The company I work for is paid by advertisers to display their product. Advertisers want customers to be able to see the labels of the beers when they are buying drinks
3. Feeling as if I can't do anything valuable before the start of work as it approaches the time that I have to be there
1. WHY? Many of the activities I do that I see value in take chunks of time to do. When I don't have time to allocate to do these activities I 
4. A student damaged my motorcycle when it was parked in the lot behind Murphree Hall and I am not able to hold anyone responsible because I didn't see who did it
1. WHY? People can be careless and may damage other people's property accidentally. Once they have damaged someone's vehicle and they know no one saw them, they may not want to be held responsible for their mistake.
5. Getting wet when I have to ride my motorcycle to work on rainy days
1. WHY? The waterproof motorcycle jacket I have is too hot to want to wear when riding short distances and too cumbersome to transport after having taken it off waterproof pants let water in
6. Having too few drinking cups so that I have to hand wash them
1. WHY? It would be a waste of water to putting them in for the auto-dish washing cycle before the washer is full
7. Having to wait for people to respond before doing any more work for a project
1. WHY? People don't see messages or do not respond to them and I feel it would not help or be awkward to continually message or remind them
8. Knees hurt after sitting for too long
1. WHY? Knee tissues get irritated by being in a 90 degree position for too long because they are put under forward pressure by the bend of the knee
9. Getting distracted and doing something without an objective in mind and end up accomplishing nothing or wasting time
1. WHY? I want to do something productive so I look at material that could lead to an objective if I think about what I want to do with the material. However, I naturally avoid putting in the effort to do the work required, so I don't search for objectives in the first place and end up wasting time
10. No worked out solutions for math homework problems in MAC2234: Survey of Calculus 2 makes it more difficult to learn.
1. WHY? Some students avoid learning the material and copy down the solutions to get the points for homework completion. It requires more effort for a professor to write out the process that leads to the solution to every problem that is given
11. Having difficulty focusing when sitting across from someone when doing work
1. WHY? Humans are biologically wired to notice where other people's eyes are looking to understand their motive or aim. When a person is facing in your direction you tend to pay more attention to them, often unconsciously, because your body is telling you that the other person has their attention on you.
12. Not having access to or not knowing about all the resources that would lead to my success after college
1. WHY? I am not aware of any central location that describes all the different components of my college and university and have not taken the time to look for one. Otherwise, I feel that researching and contacting each of the university's facilities would take too much time.
13. Feeling as if I haven't done enough work at the beginning of the school year when there is not much work to be done
1. WHY? It takes time and effort to get used to a new system and I like to familiarize myself with the system by actively working with it. However, college starts slow to ease people into the content.
14. Florida has closed primary voting system and I cannot vote for both democrats and republicans.
1. WHY? State Legislatures are in charge of selecting the voting type (open, closed, blanket) for the primaries. Political parties don't want to pay for ballots where people can vote for the other party because there is no perceivable benefit to them. The federal government can't act on it because political parties are not mentioned in the constitution
15. It is extremely challenging for a third party candidates to win elections in Florida
1. WHY? In a closed primary system, the most recognizable parties are frequently the only ones present in elections. Smaller political parties do not have as large of presence in regards to name recognition/policies and do not have access to the same high level of resources that the larger ones do to advertise themselves
16. Finishing a Financial Accounting assignment halfway and not having the reward of full accomplishment
1. WHY? The brain does not function as well after around 45-60 minutes and I have to take a break to stay efficient. Sometimes this break stretches for longer than it should because I end up doing something else more interesting/engaging
17. It is inconvenient to run with a water bottle in my hand because the water sloshes around in the bottle and this upsets my balance
1. WHY? It is necessary to stay hydrated when doing high-intensity exercise but once you drink out of a water bottle, air often replaces the space where the water was. This air allows the water to move freely around the bottle. As the water bottle moves up and down with the arm that is holding it while running, the water sloshes against the sides of the bottle and there is a force in the direction it hits.
18. Inefficient executive board meetings for student organization
1. WHY? Time is wasted because people are unclear on objectives on the meeting and there is no set clear cut process for how to go about the meetings most effectively.
19. Having to work a mind-numbing job warehouse stocking as a college student
1. WHY? There is a lack of mechanical automation in many manual labor jobs and thus people are required to do the jobs. Many corporate and more sophisticated jobs require more effort to find, a specialized knowledge of a task, experience doing something, or require a college degree. Since many college students are lacking in these competencies or will not spend the time searching for the few thinking jobs available, they end up working simple, unskilled/low skilled labor jobs.
20. No water fountains nearby me when I am driving around the Ben Hill Griffin stadium, restocking concession stands as a member of the warehouse staff
1. WHY? Water fountains are often not nearby concession stands because that would detract from the sale of water bottles at the concession stands. 

Reflection
I didn't find the list too difficult to write because there are lots of problems I see in the world. I understand why these problems exist, but I don't always know what to do about these problems I see or if anything should be done about them. My biggest issue was that I kept thinking to myself- how could this problem be solved before I wrote that it was a problem. I have a tendency to ignore the problems that I feel are too large for me to conquer
