ACTION STEP 7 – ‘NEW EYES’ RESEARCH
Second stop (music store)
I have visited a nearby music store and it is famous for its range of music styles. The store is renowned for selling significant genres of renowned artists and performers. The store contributes greatly to the enhancement of popular subgenres and it includes pop-rock, country rock, hard rock, indie rock, punk rock and folk-rock. The new additions to the music store are metal, blues and alternative. Among these, the alternative genre gained huge popularity. Rap music or Hip Hop music is one of the new music styles that gained popularity in Canada in 2020.
Third stop (local mall)
Recently, I have visited the Metropolis at Metrotown and a new store has opened here. The “Kids & Baby, Kid’s Clothing has opened and this department has the best service. New arrivals such as bottle soap, butterfly blossoms, silicone pacifiers, food jar and similar products for babies have arrived in the store. The drawer dressers are available at higher prices. The range varies from C$2,104.99 to C$2,239.99. The hottest restaurants near Metropolis at Metrotown are Take Five Cafe Metropolis, Jugo Juice and Freshslice Pizza. Among these, I have noted that the longest lines are in front of the Take Five Cafe Metropolis. It serves the best Italian cuisine and it is one of the renowned cafes. It also offers meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner). The customers are satisfied because services are quick and the staffs are excellent as well. The prices are moderated and it is one of the decent spots for the coffee lovers.
Fourth stop (favourite store)
A year ago, I have visited a convenience store and usually convenience stores stocks a collection of everyday items including groceries, coffee, confectionery, toiletries, newspapers, snack foods and magazines. However, one year ago, the store lacked items such as soft drinks, newspapers and over-the-counter drugs. Convenience stores operate in the retail industry and retailing executives are always concerned about the competitive impact of their products. Hence, the store can be regarded as an expanded convenience store. Moreover, this store now also includes fast foods. The operation hours of the store have expanded and it has started to attract more families.
Final stop (Internet)
I have conducted a research on the internet regarding new topics for at least 2-4 hours. I was curious about the effects of surviving the COVID-19. After surfing the internet, I came across an article posted on Psychology Today. It is one of the renowned online sites. I learned that after COVID-19, the cognitive and neurological deficits are likely to last for years. One study has been done in Canada in order to investigate the outcome of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) that turned into a global epidemic (2003). I was shocked to know that nearly 17% of the total survivors did not come back to work. I have also conducted research on facemasks and I came to know that revolutionary facemasks are now being designed in the UK. The nation no longer needs to rely on other nations for sourcing PPE.
