You’re a well-adjusted person—mature, friendly, generous, even-tempered, and not prone to violence. You decide to join the police department (in an American city) because you regard police work as a good career option and a constructive way to serve your community. The police department trains you and your fellow recruits in today’s standard ways; and, once on the job, department policy requires that you and your fellow officers take a top-down, strict approach to policing. You’re assigned to car-patrol duty in a poor, predominately Black and Latino neighborhood.
From the standpoint of social structure and social interaction--with emphasis on social institutions (such as political power/inequality, law, economy, social class, and racial-ethnic relations) and on statuses and roles for both police officers and community—describe the probable consequences of this experience:
for your relations with the non-police community, including your pre-career friends;
for your relations with fellow police officers;
and for your perceptions and interpretations of the world, emotions, priorities/politics, and personality?

Have you ever entered a room to retrieve an object, only to forget why you went into the room in the first place? Your short-term memory betrayed you.
Have you ever been introduced to several people in quick succession, instantly forgetting their names? Again, your short-term memory was to blame.
Short-term memory is limited in duration: Information retained for a period of seconds soon vanishes if not repeated or rehearsed. It is also limited in capacity: as new information enters your working memory buffer, previously stored items are displaced and lost, as can happen during introductions among groups of individuals. Finally short-term memory is susceptible to distraction. Unexpected stimuli, new scenes, or interjections can disrupt your train of thought.
For this Discussion, consider types of short-term memory. Think about strategies to improve short-term memory.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 4 an example of short-term memory loss that you have experienced. Then explain your short-term memory loss within the context of the working memory model. Finally, explain strategies you might use to improve your short-term memory function.
