...Michelle Dodge Reaction Paper #1 “Half of American homes have three or more TVs, and only 19% have just one. In 1975, 57% of homes had only a single set, and 11% had three or more” according to Nielsen Media, in the article Average Home Has More TVs than People. These figures can conclude that the media of one generation has prospered into a typical and popular routine for today’s generation. Everyday citizens are consuming tons of information, and this information alters the way they think and act; this statement being the main topic of David Gauntlett’s chapter titled "Some Background Debates" in the novel Media, Gender and Identity: an Introduction. With continuous changes in technology, things can be broadcasted faster, in a wider range, and to larger audiences. It seems that everyone is being exposed to the media thus making anyone susceptible to the ways media has influence. Media gives audiences several stereotypes that represent gender roles. For example, an engaging study taken from chapter two of Gauntlett’s book is from Williams and Best. In 1977 they created a “sex stereotype index” by their experiment where, a large list of adjectives were shown and based of that list participants would pick which gender the adjective was associated with. The findings were, “over 25% of men had self-descriptions that were more stereotypic of women than the average women’s stereotype” (40). Moreover these results were identical to the women’s self-descriptions of themselves...

...A proposal of mojo soft drink Company for further improvement of marketing: 1.4: Justification Mojo is a quite renowned beverage in the soft drink market of Bangladesh. It is a product of the Akij Food & Beverage Ltd. in Bangladesh which is a concern of the Akij Group. In fact, Mojo does not use Advertisements as much it should. Recently, it is quite clear that Mojo has not achieved that much popularity according to their expectation. The best way to create awareness about a product is through ads. As Mojo currently does not put importance on ads, it is very difficult for them to gain more market share. So, there is a scope for Mojo that if they emphasize more on ads, they will gain more popularity. 1.5: Assessment of Internal & External factors for Mojo Internal Factors The internal resources, capabilities and distinctive competencies, which create a competitive advantage, are very important for a company. The strengths and weaknesses of a company determine the efficiency, innovative capability, product quality and customer responsiveness with which it can operate. The internal analysis recognizes the sources of competitive advantage as well as core competencies. It is also examined how these factors can be improved further to sustain the competitive advantage in the long run. It is also important to note that the building of competitive advantage is a result of the roles played by the different functions of a company in the value creation process. The various...

...The Celluloid Presidency Literally millions of dollars are spent calculating, measuring, and predicting presidential approval ratings by campaigns, pollsters, and pundits. All this money and effort is expended so that political elites can get into the heads of the American people. But what if people are much less sophisticated in their political decision making? What if they just react to stimulus they are provided with little to no regard to the quality of that that stimulation? While many factors go into forming the public’s opinion about the President and the job he’s doing what if one the biggest factors is how the President is portrayed in the media. Not the news media, but on the silver screen. The Clinton Presidency has its shares of ups and downs but it also had several movies that featured the President of the United States as a character. Did these film’s change people’s opinions of President Clinton based on how they portrayed their fictional presidents? Observing approval ratings during President Clinton’s tenure in office we can see if a pattern emerges that is consistent with the portrayal of the President in various films during the Nineties, and if that change correlates with box office receipts, which will serve as a measure of viewership. President Clinton took office on January 20, 1993 and like most presidents his approval ratings started out artificially high. Having won the 1992 Presidential campaign with only 42% of the vote his approval rating started...

...Let us just, arguendo, accept his point about Apple no longer being innovative. Let us also gloss over the obvious typo about Apple handing out the $100 billion cash pile as well, it’s no where near that amount being returned to investors. So, what is it that we actually want a non-innovative but highly profitable company to be doing with the rivers of cash that it is generating? Why, we want it to be handing that money back to shareholders. Who can then reinvest it or spend it as they please. And we are entirely happy with the money flowing out of that no longer innovative company because we know, as economists or those interested in economics, that almost all innovation in the economy comes from new firms entering the market. For that is the truth of it: Apple’s run of innovation under Jobs is the oddity in the economy. Almost always innovation, new products, new ways of doing things, new methods of organisation, that variety of things that leads to economic growth and the creation of jobs, comes from the creation of new firms and the extinction by their replacement of the old firms. So, if a company is making good profits but has no new great ideas we’d actually prefer them to be paying out dividends. Buying back stock: getting that money into the hands of investors who might then invest in new start ups. We can go further too: if those executives at Apple knew which were the new start ups were that were worth investing in, knew which new technologies or market areas...

...ENGLISH HANDBOOK -“Welcome to my evil lair…” -Mr. Braiman Brooklyn High School of the Arts www.mrbraiman.com http://handbook.mrbraiman.com “EVIL” Welcome to my evil classroom lair. In order to become full-fledged evil “minions,” you need to read this handbook carefully. It explains everything you need to know. “English,” as you may know, is shorthand for “English Language Arts.” Being that we are in an Arts school, but one where academics must and always do come first, it is important that we approach the subject as what it is: an art form. How does one study the arts? What exactly do we do when we study drawing, sculpture, music, or dance? Well, anyone who has studied the arts will tell you that studying the arts essentially involves two things: • Learning about, and developing an awareness of and appreciation for, existing works of art in that particular form; • Developing the skills and techniques associated with the art form, in order to create our own works. In the case of language arts, much like any other art form, we will be studying existing works of art (i.e., reading books, stories and poems), and developing the skills to produce our own (i.e., writing). That’s what English Language Arts is. We will also be preparing ourselves for New York State’s Regents Comprehensive Examination in English, which we’ll all be taking in June. This two-day, six-hour, four-part exam requires no specific knowledge or content, but it does require the skills to listen, read,...

...To what extent has popular music culture challenged dominant gender norms? Critically analyse with reference to relevant literature and examples Traditional dominant gender norms state that women are feminine in appearance, including everything from their hair down to their shoes and of course their demeanour, voice and behaviour. The traditional man would be that who is strong and rugged with a deep voice and who is overtly masculine without a hint of make up or traditionally feminine clothing. It has been decades since these norms have begun to alter and be challenged as both sexes began experimenting with gender and identity through the medium of music. By looking at different music genres throughout the ages I will attempt to show how popular music has broken down social barriers and in my opinion has succeeded in challenging gender norms to a point where the perceptions of what is socially acceptable have been altered. Before delving into the world of rock and roll it is noteworthy that the music industry was like any other business, a typically male environment in which women were not expected to survive. The music industry and specifically the Rock genre were sexually focused from the very early stages, as far back as the 40’s and 50’s. Rock music posed a question of morality and was perceived as shocking and dangerous because of its explicit sexual overtones. An example of these first steps in the scene would be Elvis whose gold, tight outfits and pelvic thrusts...

...people tend to be thirstier. So they prefer to take soft drinks most of the time. Beverage took the market of Bangladesh in the first half of 1980. In that time two or three soft drinks were available in the market. But now lots of beverage found in the market. Some of them are popular and some are not so popular. Soft Drinks Industry like other developing and developed countries is getting much popularity in Bangladesh. The number of firms operating in this industry is getting increased. The market is also increasing in a greater portion. Today most of the people in both urban and rural areas are taking soft drinks in a large amount. To capture this market many global brands are competing with local brands now. However the local brands (Mojo and Pran) are much successful even if the global brands (Coca Cola, Pepsi) are present. Our soft drinks industry follows some innovative, strong and continuous improving production and marketing techniques. Although quality is not the prime concern of our people, they mainly prefer cost effective soft drinks. The local companies are competing with global brands on the basis of lower cost. They are capturing the urban markets by offering some innovative marketing plan and offer. In rural areas they are very strong in distribution strategy and price effectiveness. Our local brands understand the psychology of our people more than the global brands. That’s why they are showing much more effectiveness in this sector. Besides, local brands are...

...1. Describe how a strike by the Teamsters against UPS affects that company's various stakeholders. Does the timing of the strike make a difference? Explain. A strike defiantly has ramifications on a company’s stakeholders. In the case of UPS, these ramifications were quite large due to the size of the organization. According to Jackson and Schuler (2006, pg. 604), strikes are often timed to coincide with a company’s busiest time of the year. It is the hopes of those striking that this will create the large disruption and revenue loss for the corporation. It is typically used as a means to get employers to the bargaining table. However, when negations fail, and a strike occurs, the impacts trickle to all the stakeholders involved with the organization. Stockholders are impacted by the loss of revenue and disruption to work. Executives and managers are sometimes forced to try to do the work of those employees on strike in order to minimize the impact. Organizations that support the striking company may be impacted by delays in payments, orders, and contracts as a result of the strike. Finally, the employees themselves are greatly impacted by the strike. They have to walk picket lines and lose their income for the time that they are on strike (Jackson & Schuler, 2006 pg. 5604). Basically, every customer, partner, stockholder, and individual that interacts with the organization that is on strike will be impacted on one manger or another. 2. Union membership has been...

In the past year, the brand has opened properties in London, Poland and Russia, raising its unit count to almost 2,000 hotels in 16 countries. On the horizon: China, where Hampton plans to open 400 hotels in the next several years. 2.

In fact, 2014 was one of its most stellar years yet: Anytime signed up its 2 millionth member in January, before going on to open nearly 350 new gyms—the seventh year in a row it has topped the 300-unit mark. The expansion brings the company to almost 3,000 locations in all 50 states and in 20 countries, including, for the first time, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the Philippines.
