Criteria for a Healthy Landscape Blog 4

One of my all time favorite places to visit is the Snoopy Ice Arena. Even though, I may not be the best ice skater but I always manage to have fun. What makes Snoopy Ice Arena so special according to Paul Groth "Criteria for a Healthy Landscape" is it connects its participants to there important social groups. Either kids on there school field trips or friends at a birthday party, Snoopy's brings family and friends close. Everybody enjoys themselves and one another as laughter and smiles fill the ice rink. The Ice Arena also connects it participants to outsiders by letting groups run fundraisers and rise money at the Ice Arena. By making it welcome for anyone in the community to come and help out one in other. "A healthy landscape connects people (even outsiders) to its participants or thrival." Every one in the building is doing there jobs, which the participants coming enjoy there night. Employees in the cafe, serving, cooking, and cleaning makes eating a breeze. Employees at the front desk greeting and finding the correct skates for you, and the employees who are actually on the ice making sure that everyone is safe. Snoopy Ice Arena makes the experience worth the money. Paul Groth criteria number two " A healthy landscape connects its participants to their important social group", qualify s to Steuever's essay "K'mart has a Loveable Disorder" because Kmart has many merchandises and low prices which attract any type of people to its store. It provides a little piece for anybody's needs from children to the elderly. Explains why people would still shop at Kmart. Showing there imperfect ways lets us know they cant be duplicated.
