... Shorter University Rachelle Bell Dr. Janet Grier Light-Skin Women v Dark-Skin Women In today world some people will only hired women who is light-skinned. Why? They want someone who is pretty and can bring more people to the company. The company thinks women who is light-skinned are pretty. A light-skinned woman have nice long hair, make-up is flawless, nails is well kept, clothes are the latest business suits. The woman might not have all of the qualifications but she will learn the ropes of the business. So they hired her and to top if off her salary is the highest and comes with a nice package. In back in the bosses mind he hopes that she can catch on quick, but he will show her off to all his business partners. Now will a dark-skinned woman, who have all the qualifications they will not hired her, because the company does not see her pretty enough. They see a dark-skinned woman as greasy, nappy hair, and ghetto, and that’s to get to the point. This beautiful lady that the company will not hired, will have been a great asset to the company. The lady would have given 110% of her time, and even had ideas on how to make the company grow, she wouldn’t be concern about when is pay day and how long is her lunch so she could go the nail shop. Some women have a hard time dating, because some men will not date a woman who is dark-skinned. I think some men just want a pretty girl on his arm. They don’t even care...

...to talk about is a hair supply store by the name of AQ Beauty. I have been a licensed cosmetologist for 20 years and I have been a faithful customer to this establishment for at least the past 10 years. Here are some of the strengths and weaknesses that I believe are affiliated with this company: Strengths Weaknesses A. Always fully stocked A. Higher prices B. Convenient location B. Customer service C. Longer store hours C. Store cleanliness | | The potential opportunities for this business would be to create a better atmosphere for the consumers by cleaning up the store a little bit more. It is always fully stocked but the merchandise is a little unorganized. I have been shopping there for years so I know how to make my way around the clutter. A potentially new customer may not be as understanding and they could lose business that way. They should also improve on customer service because as people are searching for items on the unorganized sales floor the workers are just sitting behind the desk and not offering much help. There could also be a potential threat for losing more business aside from the cosmetic look of the store but also because of the cultural demographics. A lot of the African American culture is now changing their hair styles to a more natural lifestyle. The store can potentially lose more business because the store does not carry many natural hair products. A lot of...

In early summer she was ready to have the child, long after the time when it could have been possible. "The village had also been counting. On the night the baby was to be born the villagers raided our house. Some were crying. Like a great saw, teeth strung with lights, files of people walked zigzag across our land, tearing the rice. Their lanterns doubled in the disturbed black water, which drained away through the broken bunds. As the villagers closed in, we could see that some of them, probably men and women we knew well, wore white masks. The people with long hair hung it over...

...It asked these questions in this order. 1. Are you typically more self conscious about facial or bodily features? Response: Facial 17%, Bodily 67%, Both 16%.

...identified a compound that could be used for the treatment of Male Pattern Hair Loss (MPHL) and the company planned to market it under the name of PROPECIA. - PROPECIA prevents hair follicles from deteriorating, thereby preventing hair loss. - PROPECIA is to be used only by men and can be extremely harmful for women, especially pregnant women as it can result in birth defects in the male foetus. In fact, women should be careful to avoid contact even with broken or crushed pills. - As per the clinical studies, 83% of the men retained their current hair count and 66% experienced re-growth within a period of 1 year with the help of PROPECIA. - PROPECIA took around 3 months to show substantial results and if stopped, any benefits would be reversed within a year. - Although there were no major side effects, around 2% of the men in the study suffered from sexual side effects. Again, when the use of the drug was stopped, the side effects disappeared. Given the psychae of the target customers, the current market conditions and the competition, the decision that lay ahead was to devise the launch strategy for PROPECIA. target market: The opportunity for this product was very vast as about 50% of the male population suffered from hair loss. Although there was quite a variation in the way men perceived the situation and their thought process behind dealing with the situation, the hair loss market accounted for $1.5 Billion in annual sales.

...disease involving the thinning or complete loss of hair. Alopecia’s affects differ based on gender. Males suffer from the loss of hair at the hairline or top of the head. Females, on the other hand, suffer from hair loss that is often only at the top of the head, with the hairline staying in tact. There are many causes contributing to the diagnosis of alopecia. This list includes aging, genetics, illness, or malnutrition. Alopecia is not to be confused by baldness caused by “the hairless gene”. “A congenital disorder called atrichia is caused by the ‘hairless’ gene." Alopecia, though it can be genetically passed down, is very different from general balding in that it is caused by actual damage to the hair shaft or follicle. Damage can be caused by a major illness, particularly a fungal infection, stress to the root, injury, or even medications such as chemotherapy. Our world today is constantly changing. New diseases are discovered, old diseases disappear, and cures or vaccines are developed for the millions we have affected by one thing or another. Today there are 53 million people affected by a disease know as Alopecia. I would like to explore the most common forms of Alopecia's that effect millions today. These include Universal Alopecia, Androgenetic Alopecia, Traction Alopecia, Anagen Effluvium, Telogen Effluvium, Alopecia Areata, Scarring Alopecia, and Alopecia Totalis. Universal Alopecia is total loss of hair on the body. This affects both men, women, and...

My brother the oldest grandson, 20, was still a huge kid who loved to pick on us. His name is Raul but we call him Omar because of his middle name. He was wearing his favorite, black and silver Raiders jersey. Back in time when jean shorts for males were cool he would wear those with some Nike tennis shoes. Then came my cousin who was 2 years older than me, he was 11 at the time, I was still taller than him by an inch; he was stronger and picked on me a lot because I was a girl and taller than he was. His name is Abraham but called him Abe for short. Abe’s brother was only 2 months younger than I am and had long hair, smelled bad because he would never take a shower. He smelled like rotten cheese it was a strong disgusting order he would carry in his presences, we even gave him a nick name and it was Queso, cheese in Spanish which we still call him to this day; but his real name is Marcos.
