...The women of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby are alike in several ways. First of all, all of the females in the novel were shown as weak and shallow characters. They were all motivated by money, power and good looks. None of the women in this novel demonstrated any true core values or positive character traits. They were only concerned with having material things, or having the attentions of a wealthy man. This becomes known to the reader through the comments and actions of the women make throughout the story. For example, Daisy says, “I am glad that it is a girl and I hope she’ll be a fool- that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool” (pg.17). This shows that she believes that women have...

...that would be further from the truth; simply put it was the result of plans being put on hold due to the Great Depression and World War II. Many American’s after the war looked forward to starting a family because of the growth in corporate America. Unions promised increase in salaries, so with more money comes the need to buy material items, something they went without growing up. The thought of providing a better life for their children, was not just going to be a dream, it was became reality. Like stated above, materialistic living became something to do, that also meant having a beautiful home to match the nice items being bought. That meant a demand for home developers such as William Levitt who brought the “Levittowns” to New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. This brought on the development of tract houses, meaning modest homes that were designed to look alike and built in mass quantities, this being called Suburban living. Thanks to the GI Bill offered to the returning soldiers, buying a home in the suburbs was attainable. It was actually cheaper to buy a house, than it was to...

...Daniel F. Bohmer Saint Leo University PHARMACY CAREER 2 Finding a career within the pharmacy profession holds appeal for many reasons: a strong job market, high pay, work equality, divergent career opportunities and favorable working conditions in a profession that consistently ranks at the top in Gallup’s annual poll of most trusted professions. Careers all across the ever-evolving health care industry have seen consistent growth in demand over the last several years, with no projections for slowing down. Pharmacists can look forward to higher than average employment opportunities. The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), projects a 25% growth in demand through 2020. This increase is attributed to an ageing population, advances in medicine, increased number of people with insurance coverage and the expanding role of pharmacists in patient care. Additionally, pharmacy students have the envious distinction of a nearly 100% job placement in their career field within a year of graduation. Another appealing aspect of the profession is pharmacists enjoy a relatively high median salary. In the most recent statistics published by the BLS, the median wage is nearly $115,000 per year. Earning potential is projected to continue to rise due to the predicted high growth in jobs, without a corresponding increase in the number of graduates entering the profession. When it comes to work equality, careers in pharmacy continue to top the charts. With women making...

...In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald states "I hope she'll be a fool- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool." For a long time society viewed women to be this way. During the progressive era this held true. "A Jury of Her Peers" depicts how women were expected to keep the house in order and represent their husband Women who lived in rural areas during the progressive era were expected to equally share work with their husbands. They were in charge of all of the house work, keeping the house in order, as well as helping out in the barn. At the beginning of "A Jury of Her Peers" Martha Hale is called away from her house to help with the crime scene and the only thing "her eye took in was that her kitchen...

...Hardy MKTG 1010 Targeting The College Age Apparel Market When it comes to vying for the hearts, minds and money of America’s teens and twenty-somethings, there are a few strategies that can be used that are tried and true. As we look at the two retailers, Abercrombie & Fitch and American Eagle, it’s clear that they go after the same target market while maintaining a much different approach from each other. When a customer walks towards an Abercrombie and Fitch store (or their teen marketed brand, Hollister) they are immediately overwhelmed with the environment of the store. Abercrombie stores are dark, with huge pictures of perfect men and women and they emit the smell of their signature cologne, Fierce, from what seems to be hundreds of feet away. There are no windows in the shop and there’s usually loud house music playing. As they walk into the store, they are greeted by a gorgeous employee, who guides you into the dimly lit room and points you in the direction that you need to go. This illustrates one of the first paramount differences between the Abercrombie & Fitch branding and the American Eagle branding. As one approaches an American Eagle, the store is brightly lit and all of the windows are uncovered. The employees are nice and upfront, but average looking and welcoming. Also, in the stores, there is a wider variety of teen to young age groups shopping inside them. When it comes to store layout and theme, Abercrombie & Fitch is trying to put off the image...

...women’s suffrage” (Time-Life books). Despite contention, women were more independent in the 1920’s than ever before. They began going out and traveling alone, smoking and drinking, having affairs, and these once reticent laborers of the home transformed into careless revelers. “America's story between 1911 and 1920 is a jumble of contradictory emotions and ideals, of turbulence and optimism, struggle and progress” (Kara Blond). Women still act in a manner that no one would’ve even imagined less than a hundred years ago. However, for some the introduction of these newly liberated women was a terrible calamity. “Some” meaning the men of the day. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, women shattered the barrier that kept them well behaved and in the home. For some men, this was a fate worse than death. Even dogs feel threatened and want to mark their territory, so it’s no surprise that men of the 1920’s also started to draw sweaty palms about the new ways in...

...Katherine Harrison- An Explanation Behind the Madness Although witchcraft is commonly associated with the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, there were also other trials throughout the century across colonial New England. It is important to look at some of these other trials also in order to see their cultural and historical impacts. The impacts are often overlooked because all of the attention tends to be put towards the Salem trials. One trial in particular, the 1669 trial of Katherine Harrison, is interesting to look at because of its particular circumstances. Although the essays by two respected historians, Jane Kamensky and Carol Karlsen, never address the trial specifically both seem to offer explanations for Katherine Harrison’s particular witchcraft circumstances. In order to fully compare the accuracy of their explanations to her situation a few things need to be addressed. First off there shall be a brief history of witchcraft in New England, then a clear description of the case against Katherine. Following that there shall be a summary of the historians’ individual viewpoints from their essays. Then finally, and most importantly, is the evidence of why Karlsen and Kamensky have explanatory power in the Harrison case. Witchcraft trials started around 1648 in New England and were fueled by the strong faith of the Puritans. The Puritans, a devout religious group, believed that Satan was an angel who had turned against god, and that witches had been possessed by Satan....

...competing within the U.S. brands but also with European brands that are getting popular in all over the world. They are also products that can substitute with branded apparel, some teenagers who are experiencing financial problems can just buy an imitation one just for a cheap price and even the quality’s great, no one will notice that it was a fake one. Young generations nowadays are conscious of what they have and what things they don’t have, especially with apparel, because the trend nowadays is when you are wearing that kind of shirt and it is a high class brand, you’re in with the trend and you are considered one of the coolest kids in your school. While the organization culture of A&F is very different from other brands because they are the only company who hires people based on their looks and how they act and not with the skills. They are always saying that they don’t treat them as salespeople; they are the image that represents the brand. Their marketing strategy is very objective; they have these clear goals that they want to achieve. And their market sales are also getting higher thanks to those advertisements that they have. I can recommend that they need to have a clearer image for the brand; they need to be a good leader for the youth and an effective industry that has good means for the people and for...

...same. Racial profiling is any police-initiated action that relies on the race, ethnicity, or national origin rather than the behavior of an individual or information that leads the police to a particular individual who has been identified as being or having been, engaged in criminal activity. Criminal profiling is any police- initiated action that used the compilation of the background, physical, behavioral, and motivational characteristics for a type of perpetrator that lead the police. Now imagine driving to the store on a cold winter day, dressed in a hoodie to keep warm. You simply pull into the parking lot in hopes of getting something nice for your daughter for the holidays. Driving the posted speed limit, you pull slowly into a parking space in the back of the store. All of a sudden, a car pulls up behind you, blocking you in. You look in your rearview mirror only to find the community crime watch officer staring you down. The officer immediately treats you like a suspect, smothering you with questions concerning what you’re doing, where you’re going; yet never really had any reasoning behind the questions. The major reason to oppose racial profiling is that it simply doesn’t work. Empirical studies show that when police use race or ethnic appearance as a factor in law enforcement, their effectiveness in apprehending criminals decreases. Even worse, it has often led to “accidental” deaths, such as the fatal shootings of African American and Latino...

...The Use of Classical Conditioning in Advertising IT Carlow Consumer Insights Y3 12/10/2012 April Brophy Introduction Classical conditioning in advertising has been used by firms who sell products to get consumers to purchase from them instead of their competition. (CALVIN BIERLEY, 1985) This essay will briefly explain what classical conditioning is. It will examine the problems with experiments on classical conditioning in advertising and briefly look at two experiments which try to overcome these problems in testing classical conditioning in advertising. The first experiment will look at the effects of background features in advertising by Gerald J.Gorn. The second experiment will investigate whether consumer attitudes towards a product can be conditioned and it will examine weather classically conditioned attitudes can be stronger with larger numbers of trials. The essay will then look at what advertisers need to remember when using classical conditioning and then give examples of companies that use classical conditioning in their advertising campaigns. Classical Conditioning was discovered by Ivan Pavlov by accident while he was researching the digestive system of dogs where he presented food to the dog. Pavlov noticed that the dog would start to salivate when he just walked into the room even without food in his hand. Pavlov’s main belief was that learning occurred through association. The dog associated Pavlov with the food and would then salivate. It occurs...
