Part 1 Mla Citation- Analysis, NewsChain. “How WFH Will Change More than Work.” NewsChain, NewsChain, 17 Dec. 2020, https://www.newschainonline.com/news/news-analysis/how-wfh-will-change-more-than-work-56926.

Part 2 Summary- In the Video, ” How WFH Will Change More Than Work,” brought to us by NewsChain Analysis, the main idea is that working remotely for white collared workers created healthier lifestyles and also didn’t have to commute which allowed for more quality time for themselves. They Introduced the video by bringing up that over 25 million U.S. workers spent over 90 minutes a day commuting to their office jobs. This would cause stress levels to rise due to traffic, parking, tardiness, and create unhealthy habits since there was less time to prepare healthy meals, exercise, and get a good night’s sleep. The video also interviewed Park Hang a manager at a telecoms company who tells us that because of the pandemic the was able to work at one of his companies closer locations which is only 15 minutes walking distance from his home. Therefore, Hang didn’t have to spend 2 hours each day leaving and coming home which allowed him to spend more time with son. Furthermore, offices saw a 13% increase in work efficiency in people working at home due to the fact that there was no pressure to meet deadlines.

Part 3A Reflection- I agree with the points made in , ” How WFH Will Change More Than Work” because it addressed a lot of the issues that many white collared workers faced and feel like there should have been an option to work remotely before the pandemic. Office managers should have used Modern day technology to have more of a hybrid way or work which could have opened doors to better ideas and more flexible schedules. This source told me that not only did the pandemic physically affect office workers but mentally as well because stress levels went down while working due to less pressure and healthier habits. I selected this source because I wanted to learn more about how people spend their extra time they gained not commuting to work and if it positively or negatively affected them.

Part 3B Rhetorical Analysis- The video is informing jobs that revolve around mainly offices and their employees. The purpose of the video is to provide more of a hybrid work schedule and not fully get rid of working remotely as an option. Even though the pandemic died down and isn’t as serious as it was, it provided workers with an overall better work environment . The creators of this video wanted the people watching that workers shouldn’t have to go back full time to their offices if they chose not to. The genre is a video recording by NewsChain Analysis which is known for covering news worldwide using surveys provided by the people which made it a source of interest since I am looking for people’s points of views.

Part 4 Notable Quotables- ” A two year stanford study of a thousand employees at one company found that working at a home office resulted in a 13% increase in productivity.”(NewsChain 7:13)

“More than 90 percent of people in a recent survey said they wouldn’t return to the office full time after covid. Companies are already taking advantage of this indicating this may be permanent.”(NewsChain 13:29)

  1. I have a lot of questions after reading your Source Entry.

    Did you look at your video many times and take notes of the most important points. Study the structure of the video. What was the MI of the first part? What was the MI of the second part?

    What is WFH?

    DMS — something doesn’t make sense. You write: I selected this source because I wanted to learn more about how people spend their extra time. — so what are the ways are people spending their extra time? Didn’t the source tell you??? You wrote “quality time” in the top of your summary, but nothing in your summary tells me what these people do with their quality time.

    IN your Reflection, there are some points that belong in the summary. You need to focus more on deep thinking. After you have studied this video, what deeper thoughts on your RQ do you have? Look at examples, look at the assignment to write a better reflection.

    Your Rhetorical Genre analysis is repeating points that belong in the summary. Use the RHetorical Analysis worksheet to write a better paragraph here. Look at the examples I have provided.

    Suggestion also to read Richard’s Source Entry 3 just submitted.

    Read the Assignment to study what goes in to these different parts. You have too many summary MIs floating around in the Reflection adn the Rhetorical Genre analysis parts.
