Hi everyone! I hope you're all going well!   :)
AA club is back, so get analysing until the end of year exam!
It'll be really very beneficial for you to also give feedback to other people's practices as well, as this is not only caring, but learning from each other! Looking forward to seeing this!  :)

101 uses for a 'behavioural awareness officer'

In light of the far-sighted approach of the football administrators of Victoria, below are 101 uses for a behavioural awareness officer (Well, five actually).

No.1: So, the obvious first. Parliament. It is true that the chambers of Parliament are presided over by a Speaker who sits aloft the skirmishes and rules on members’ decorum and can order an eviction. But is this enough? The sight of burly men wearing a jacket that says behavioural awareness officer and an expression that says, think twice before you say it, wouldn’t go a miss. Would it raise the standard of debate? Possibly not.

No.2: On the roads and highways. The special mobile behavioural awareness officers would be deployed under two categories, Visible and Invisible. The former would drive in marked cars, thus acting as a deterrent to behaviourally challenged drivers. The latter would drive in unmarked cars, thus being able to swoop on the ne’r-do-well. Their powers would be concomitant to the level of the offence. Thus slightly annoying behaviour would equal a fine to now that’s really quite rude, car confiscated and crushed.

No.3: Train station platforms. There are, of course, Protective Service Officers, for whom part of their remit is to keep an eye on passenger behaviour. However, now that the precedent has been set in football stadiums, there is an opportunity here to ratchet up the surveillance. For instance, the level and harshness of criticism at the lateness, infrequency and non-appearance of trains could be stomped upon and banished. One voice raised in anger or despair can become many. We don’t want that.

No.4: Cafes. In the city of the eternal coffee, there is abundant demand for the behavioural awareness officer. In the morning, mid-morning, noon, mid-afternoon and late afternoon peak periods, the necessity of dealing with the tension between the customer who feels the need, no the moral insistence, to order a double soy latte, not too hot, and a long black, extra hot, with a side cup of boiling water, and a single origin Ethiopian cappuccino versus the customer who just wants a white coffee is paramount. Keeping caffeine deprived Melburnians behaving nicely is no small feat. There have been riots in the streets for less.

No.5: Comedy festivals. Clearly in this day and age of turning intimidation of a crowd into a profession, the next frontier must be the comedy festival. Here the behaviour awareness officer faces a doubly hard task: watching and dealing with not only the provocateur, that is the comedian, but also the audience. Here, making fun of someone or something is seen as entertainment, and is applauded. Eradicating this type of behaviour is critical for the wellbeing of a well-ordered, obedient society.

These are some of the tasks of the BAO. Be aware, be very aware.

With this article, it'll be interesting to see how you'd group the various points in the article into more succinct argument/(s) when you're analysing.

All the very best for the start of Unit 4 as well!  :)
