...The movie was filmed with a strong feminist perspective, a focus that director Maria Luisa Bemberg excelled in. It is true that the patriarchy has assumed power for centuries, but to have females in this film defy it so outright was refreshing (a sense of “girl power” if you will). There was a pattern of females in her family that were outspoken. It was implied that Camila’s grandmother was being punished for doing something considered leftist and had the choice of either spending the rest of her life on the farm or face prison. What I loathed was how Camila’s father wouldn’t properly take care of his own mother. He kept her confined in a room and was more prideful about his reputation than the woman who gave birth to him and raised him. Yet it was clear that Camila was a liberal thinker early on in the movie. For one, she said that she would “have to invent many sins” in order to continue to confess to Father Gutiérrez. It showed that she was willing to do whatever, including going against God, to be with the man she fell in love with and to speak her mind to someone without being shushed or disapproved of. But perhaps she was acting upon being blinded by love rather than progressing feminism. The lines are blurry to me. Camila’s father also said that “a single woman is chaos” and thus is “a disorder of nature”. The only options for her were to either marry or go to a convent, a reminder that women were only raised to produce children and follow God. I found myself...

...scarcity of resources, and incoherency of his goals from the band; this may result in the weakening of the band of Robin Hood that will give the Sheriff a chance to eliminate them. The revolt against the Sheriff had begun as a personal crusade. It erupted out of Robin’s conflict with the Sheriff and his administration. However, alone Robin Hood could do little. He therefore sought allies, men with grievances and deep sense of justice. Later he welcomed all who came, asking few questions and demanding only a willingness to serve. Strength, he believed, lay in numbers. Robin ruled the organization; he makes all the important decisions. He delegated specific tasks to his lieutenants. The increasing number of the band was a source of satisfaction for Robin, but also a source of concern. The fame of his merry men is spreading, and new recruits were pouring from all the corners of England. As the band grew in number the resources they have is not sufficient for all of them like food and shelter. The Sheriff was growing stronger and becoming better organized. He now had the money and the men and was beginning to harass the band, probing for its weaknesses. The tide of events was beginning to turn against the Merrymen. The problem is how Robin can organize his band to be more efficient and effective so they can achieve their goal of removing the Sheriff from his office, before he eliminated them first....

...ryAdam Wagner April 12, 2011 AM 107 Cluster Advertisement Analysis For my ad analysis, I choose an Old Spice ad for their deodorant and body wash. In this analysis, will elaborate on the target market, whether the product satisfies a need, want or demand, whether the ad conveys the value that the product will offer to the customer, where the product falls on The Product/Market Expansion Grid, whether it addresses the marketing mix, the marketing position of the product, whether the product addresses any macroenvironmental issues, and finally if the ad is effective. Who is the Ad Targeted At This ad is targeted at young adults and men. It is evident that the ad is targeted at men just by the manly aura it conveys. The ad shows a man with a muscular physique in a bath tub riding a motorcycle made out of suds from soap with a woman sitting on the edge of the bath tub. The ad is also evident that it is targeted towards men is because the Old Spice products that are advertised in this product is intended for men.

The company’s development and research department has created a new chemical that will allow deodorants to work for up to 5 days—even after showering. Arimount has been in the hygiene market for 20 years with an average return on investment. They would like to top the market share with this innovative product. Deodorant market has emerged two “giants" mostly Unilever and Procter & Gamble (P & G), Romano. These brands dominate the market with products such as deodorant Romano (Classic, Gallant), Dove deodorant spray, deodorant Rexona. However, all beauty products from deodorant is directed at an audience mostly women. Consumers do not distinguish the products for women, so men often use deodorant for women. They did not have the notion deodorant own choice. In Vietnam, women typically played a decisive role in the purchase of beauty products. Market deodorant for men is only exclusively Romano.

...Public figure Speech Analysis This particular speech was given by Barbara Bush. The speech was presented at “Commencement Address at Wellesley College” at severance green gardens, Wellesley College, Wellesley, Massachusetts. She was addressing at a private liberal arts college for women in Wellesley, Massachusetts. The speech was delivered on June 1, 1990. The total length of speech was about 11 minutes. Barbara Bush’s commencement address successfully honored and inspired the graduates of Wellesley College. The is an important speech of Barbara Pierce Bush’s “Commencement Address at Wellesley College” speech because she encouraged women to stay true to who they are, enjoy life, and most importantly to cherish their families rather than to focus only on studying and wasting their life's becoming well educated women only, because at the end of the day with family, friends, and children are by far more important than a textbook and a pen. I think that she was little nervous because she was so cautious that don’t miss to think anybody and constantly looking at the piece of paper for this. In the introduction, Barbara Bush successfully grabs the attention of her audience as she sparks interest, honors the occasion, establishes credibility and relates to her audience. I think she very well knew that what kind of the audience, she is going to address and she seems prepared for it as she as written the speech keeping in mind her audience.

...social status has changed the scenario. Women’s position is getting stronger both financially and emotionally. Now they are more conscious about their rights, education and job facilities are giving more independence these days. Women's “work outside the home" has brought about a revolutionary change in the overall social outlook. They now claim equal rights as men, but as a consequence it is affecting marriage relationships. This overall change in women’s roles is leading to an increase in divorce rate due to inequality in acceptance of women’s freedom. There is a strong correlation between divorce rates and married women's involvement in the work force. Married women's increased participation in the work force may have many consequences. Some of the consequences that result from married women working are that there is less time spent at home, less time of interaction with family, and changing goals for the future. These consequences may negatively affect the marital relationship and contribute to the increasing divorce rates because some people may be reluctant to adapt their traditional beliefs about the roles they think men and women should perform. More recently, changes in economic conditions, social norms, and in values (such as an emphasis on togetherness has shifted to an emphasis on individuality) have contributed to an increase in married women's involvement in the work force. Also large societal...

...Cold Equation and the importance of Marilyn’s death. I will do so by summarizing Jan Narveson’s analysis of the Cold Equation and using principles used in lecture. Tom Godwin’s short story the Cold Equation raises questions of human rights, morality, sexism and discrimination, as well as the laws of nature and sciences. In order to analyze this short story I will briefly give an abstract. The situation of the story is outlined in a short paragraph on page 258: “This ship is carrying Kala fever serum to Group One on Woden. Their supply was destroyed by a tornado. The fever is invariably fatal unless the serum can be had in time, and the six men in Group One will die unless this ship reaches on schedule. These ships are given barely enough fuel to reach their destination and if you stay aboard your added weight will cause it to use up all its fuel before it reaches the ground. It will crash, then, you and I will die and so will the six men waiting for the serum.”(Godwin, T., 1954) This paragraph points out the two choices that are present in Jan Narveson’s analysis. Where Choice A: Marilyn dies in one hour; six men cured from a fatal painful disease- living normal lives for a substantial period of time; Barton the pilot lives a substantial period of time. Choice B: Marilyn lives X hours (greater than 1 but not much greater), after which she dies a death similar to that in A; six men die of terrible disease; and Barton dies the same terrible death as Marilyn. (Narveson, J., 1979) ...

...experience a good living free from any fear. The concept tends to have a deep dwell on the women, who are thought to be less fortunate in society than men. The society has it in mind that empowering women and girls are similar to empowering a whole nation. The empowered section of women is popular since they contribute to an increase in health and productivity of the family and community in respective prospects of the next generation. The concept has been in the application, in the Millennium Development Goal, as an agenda, where the countries did aim at eliminating gender disparities in education before year 2015. The countries also did believe that achievement of this goal would lead to subsequent achievement of the rest of the goals. Contrary to all these concerns, the concept of gender equality has led to unequal issues in the society after extreme concentration on one gender. Some of the methods are in clear illustration in the two articles on the description. Article 1 summary The article is under the Bankrate.com Publishers. It title is Bridging the pay gap between the gender. In this article, the author is concerned of the pay gap that still exists among men and women. The gap is often in many times overlooked, or used as a factor of determining the success in women. Source of data from United States Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals the facts, through the statistics demonstrating the women’s median weekly earnings did shoot at 80% in comparison with men. It demonstrates...
