  • “Exploring the Segments of the Hospitality Industry: An Annotated Bibliography”

     
    This  assignment addresses course learning objective 1 – Identify the various  segments of the hospitality industry, along with institutional learning  objectives related to information literacy.
    For this  assignment, you will be preparing an annotated bibliography that lists  four different academic sources from the Trefry online library. The  purpose of an annotated bibliography is to help you start researching  for your final project early on, to help you get comfortable in the  Trefry Library, and to help you learn how to evaluate sources for your  academic projects.
    To begin, please visit this resource from our online Trefry Library: https://www.apus.edu/apus-library/resources/writing/writing-at-apus/graduate-writing/the-annotated-bibliography/
    This source explains the purpose of an annotated bibliography and the way to go about writing an annotation.
    Feel  free to download and use the APA Annotated Bibliography Template from  this page as the basis for your submission. It’s an easy to make sure  you are formatting it correctly.
    You will  be using the Trefry Library to search and identify four different valid  academic resources. You should find resources that will provide a  definition of four different hospitality industry segments:  Foodservice/Restaurant, Lodging/Hotel, Travel/Tourism, and Event  Planning. Be sure to utilize the tips and strategies for evaluating your  sources that were covered in your lessons. As a review, you can revisit  this video on Evaluating Information (posted in the lesson content) or if necessary, revisit the video tour of the library or the APUS Writing Center
    For each  of the industry segments identified, find a valid, academic, scholarly  resource that provides a solid definition of the industry segment. This  may be a book, a peer-reviewed trade journal article, or a scholarly  article. Remember to apply the principles of RADAR for evaluating your  sources along with the tips found in the “Identifying Your Resources”  page you reviewed from the library. https://www.apus.edu/apus-library/resources/writing/writing-at-apus/the-research-process/
    Once you have identified one source for each of the four segments, it is time to put together your annotated bibliography.
    Begin by listing the source in the correct APA, 7th Edition format. You may need to review the APA Style Guide in the library. https://www.apus.edu/apus-library/resources/writing/apa-style/
    Follow  the formatted source with a definition of the industry segment based on  the information synthesized from the resource itself. Remember to write  the definition in your own words, do not simply copy and paste a line  from the book or article.
    Finally, include an evaluative annotation  for each resource. This should give a reason why this particular source  is a valid and accurate quality source. The focus of the annotation  should be on the description and evaluation of the source. It  is NOT a summary of the resource. You will need to explain why your  source is valuable to a student of hospitality and to the final project –  and use criteria to evaluate the sources, including objectivity,  currency, accuracy, reliability, and relevance – and also be able to  identify any issues of concern with that particular source. It’s  absolutely fine to conclude the source would not be a valuable source  for a hospitality student because it is (outdated, does not have  references, is biased, etc.).

    Family information
    Father side
    Grandma ( Bennie)+ Grandpa ( Robus) my dad stepfather.
    My dad Albert. My dad was the youngest boy. He had seven oldest siblings and one youngest sister. My dad was mainly raised by my grandma who was at home( they lived in a farm alone with my grandpa my dad’s stepdad. They moved to the city when my dad was and adolescent, there he met my mom. My dad relationship with my grandma was good she was very sweet and nurturing. He never got to know or share with his biological dad even they live in the same town (his father had another family). My dad respected and loved his mom and step dad very much. He was very close to his youngest siblings but not so much with his older siblings as they moved far away and started their own family.
    Mother family of origin
    Grandma Isabel was a single mom of eight children my mom was the youngest girl with five older siblings and two youngest brothers. My mom was mainly raised by her grandma as well as the others oldest ones. My youngest uncles were mainly raised by my grandma.
    There was a feeling of resentment between siblings seeing the youngest boys got to be with with their mom my grandma while the others had to stay with my grandma’s mom at their house always working and cleaning and helping with different chores there. While my youngest uncles were more spoiled. They grew up being the favorite ones.
    My mom did not have any relationship with her dad even she knew where he was and he did not try to get close to her as well.
    My mom did not have a strong bond with my grandma even though they ended up living together when my sister and I were born. My parents had my sister and I and then they split soon after I was born. I don’t have memories of my mom and my dad being together. My dad has started a new family with hope a very good lady when he had three daughters with. They split many years later after one of my sisters died. She was 21 years old when she passed. My mom so started a new family and she had three children. I stayed with my grandma and my oldest sister. A few years later my stepfather left my mom when my youngest brother was only nine years old he’s now 23. My mom went back to live with grandma my sister and I bringing her youngest children with her.
    I was raised up mostly by my grandma and my oldest sister. My mom had to work now 40 years stay with her new family. My dad did the same as well. They always check on me and my sister. My dad wood help very little with some money to pay our school fee but was no emotionally invested Which led to a very weak relationship.
    My relationship with my oldest sister have been always great and we have always support each other and have sort of like alliance together since our parents left us. My relationship with my sister Daisy the oldest half sister was amazing I love her very much until she passed in an accident. My relationship with mother have sister was always difficult and she did not like me much as I come to visit my dad and to get financial support for groceries and school supplies she did not like that and was always and unkind. She got better as with you as we have always lived in different cities and now different countries have been very difficult to create a bond. I have sure very little with my youngest sister as she was born many more years after.
    I can tell that I don’t have a strong emotional bond with neither my mom or my dad but with my dad is sadly almost nonexistent. However I honored, financially support and highly respect my parents. I think that we all had shared this symptom of emotional cutoff with our dads- my mom, my dad, and now me for the different life situations we have gone through.
    However growing up in this broken family system I found unity and sort of like a triangle situation with my oldest sister and grandma and was able to thrive and become a hardworking responsible honest and sweet young lady who could differentiate herself from the negativity surrounded with her own personality thoughts and resilience.
    After my mom moved back with us bringing with her three children my sister and I had to work extra hard not just to support ourselves and our grandma but to help my mom and our younger siblings. There was 2 triangles my granny my sister and I and my mom with my youngest siblings in our new family structure. After my granny passed away I moved to the United states. Here I met my husband. He comes from a totally different family system where unity support understanding was the core of the structure. Now my family is integrated by my husband my daughter and I. In our family I am a very sweet nurturing mom and wife. My husband is very sweet and protective. He is also very supportive and and is always there for me and for our family. We have a good relationship and are now going through this new stage of our life of being parent of her sweet girl.
    Esperance of working on this assignment had made reflect on how from developing the same unhealthy pattern like emotional cutoff can of be a part of coping with challenging family structures and try to now incorporate all the knowledge of these concepts into my current family and the understanding of family therapy.
    Discussing these concepts with my parents was really emotional as they reflect on how things were and how different they could have been with more empathy and love.

    What Is the Problem?
    Problem Statement: The ongoing issue in our housing community involves the deterioration and inadequate maintenance of communal facilities, compromising resident safety, reducing usability of shared spaces, and potentially lowering property values.
    Background/Context: Over the years, the lack of consistent maintenance has led to the decline of playgrounds, green areas, and community halls. This neglect affects the quality of life and community pride, making it crucial to address the issue promptly.
    What Does the Research Say?
    Research Results: Evaluations highlighted budget constraints and sporadic community feedback as primary challenges. Successful maintenance projects demonstrated that community involvement and transparent communication significantly improve outcomes.
    Summary: The research underscores the need for structured community engagement and better resource management to ensure sustainable maintenance practices.
    Recommending a Solution
    Selected Solution: Establishing a Community Maintenance Committee.
    Explanation: This solution leverages community involvement, promotes a sense of ownership, and ensures regular oversight and transparent communication about maintenance activities.
    Being an Agent of Change
    Personal Actions: As an agent of change, I will actively participate in the committee, lead by example, and communicate effectively to involve more residents. I will build relationships with key community members to gain their support and foster a collective approach.
    Expected Impact: By driving these efforts, I expect to see improved maintenance of communal facilities, increased resident participation, and enhanced community pride and safety.
