...Delta airlines has been around for quite some time and has always been advertising the same basic aspects of their company, which are travel and that they provide exceptional service in the sky. Delta airlines has always had ads circling to advertise their company to entice travelers to fly with them as oppose to other large carriers. The ad from 1950 and the ad from 2010 are both similar in simple ways but very different in other ways. The delta airlines ad from 1950 and 2010 are similar in simply the purpose but very different in the appearance. The 1950 ad shows two flight attendants and two pilots in a cartoon like colorful-ad with a simple plane and country like background, while the 2010 ad shows a huge Boeing 747 in the right side with a "box of text" that basically says that delta airlines is building a better airline not just a bigger one will basically that. The days where much more simply in the 1950's with ads that showed no frills and glamorous aspects, but today in 2010 the ad has to appeal to the generation that is flying so therefore the ad appears much different in layout and color scheme....

...Racial discimination is a world wide situation that not only certain individuals go through each day, but 76% of the world’s population has to deal with. Whether that problem is finding a job or even getting more involved in sports and organizations. Racial profiling occurs on a day to day basis and makes people who are discriminated against feel like they are not valid enough even though they could be giving all they have. Racism will not completely dwindle down due to an abundant of citizens who lack compassion for one another, but racism can be minimized to where color and class isn’t a such immense deal in society. We can eliminate racism completely by first dropping out steriotypical mindsets of culutres and outside qualities. Steryotyes...

...The competitive environment, also known as the market structure, is the dynamic system in which a business competes. The state of the system as a whole limits the flexibility of the business. (1) The Phillies’ “product” is marketed as entertainment, a “happening” (Kerin, Hartley & Rudelius, p.313, 2012) that highlights the positive aspects of Phillies baseball. This includes the key elements of the new Citizens Bank Park field, having a fun experience without having to spend a lot of money, having the feeling of camaraderie being surrounded by likeminded Phillies fans, like eating hot dogs and shopping for souvenirs at the Phanatic Attic, and simply having a good time. The video demonstrates the vast efforts that the Phillies marketers put into being good “community citizens”. The Phillies Phanatic mascot appears at charity, hospital and other public events. The demand for the mascot’s public appearances is so great that there are actually three Phanatics to meet the need. The “Ballgirls” are 20 female college students from various colleges who appear at schools, golf outings, local charity softball games, and at the Citizens Bank Park field. “They act as ambassadors for the Phillies both on and off the field. The Phillies Ballgirls represent educated, athletic women who hope to serve as role models in professional sports for young girls” (3). The Phillies also have “The Green Team” to promote their concern about sustainability and the environment. The Ballgirls...

It didnt distract at all from the enjoyment i was about to have, but it made for an interesting start. 2. Theater Description: size, stage type, seating arrangement, etc. The theater was located inside Withycombe Hall on Oregon State University Campus. It was the main theater so the seating was rather large. The capacity was probably around 400-500 full, however there were a little over 100 when i attended. The seats were typical theater seats, so it was as comfortable as anyone would expect, offerng move room and less obstructed views than in movie theaters. The seats were set around a thrust stage which was rather large and consisted of props set in upper-class France in the 17th century. I back drop was lit to show the time of day outside again the well lit interior. 3. Character list and plot summary: Give a list of the characters with a brief plot summary.

...will look at the generic conventions a coming of age/ teen film (what we expect to see), aspects such as typical situations, stock characters, style, icons and setting. In terms of themes in coming of age (teen films) (subjects that are dealt with within the text) they tend to focus around, first love, rebellion, and conflict with parents, teen angst or alienation. In terms of what we would typically see within the genre ‘teen/coming of age’ film it is in the interest of the target audience and making the plot relatable and focus on their interests. The first trailer to be analysed is “Mean Girls”, a teen movie released in 2004. The style of “Mean Girls” is glossy, the use of high key lighting creates an expensive look and the contrast of high/bright colours makes the film more vivid and eye catching the use of the bright colours encourages a cheerful and young audience. In the first shot we see ‘Kady Heron’ in class she looks bland and has no character and is introduced as the new ‘student’ which is typical for the plot of a teen (coming of age movie) and the non-diegetic sound tracking playing in the back background gives us insight into the genre as we see both a stock character and a typical situation with a pop soundtrack clearly illustrating the theme of coming of age. Surrounded by stock characters that feature in a teen movie; teachers, students ect, she is placed in a typical setting, a class room where we see a chalk board and desks, this is all iconography that...

...cultures of the Amish versus typical American, a person will find that the family life, language, and other aspects of this population can be so different from the latter. Throughout the Amish culture, family is a main part of their lifestyle. According to Towns and Heritage, “The family is the most important social unit among the Pennsylvania Amish” (Towns & Heritage, 2013). This stems from the family’s abundance in size. It is not unusual for a typical Amish family to have seven to ten children. This growth in family is what makes the Amish community as large as it is (Towns & Heritage, 2013). In addition to having many children, the Amish also has many generations living together under the same roof. This allows a “sense of continuity and participation in family life” (Towns & Heritage, 2013). When comparing this to a typical American family, it is easy to see the difference. According to Teachman, Tedrow, and Crowder, “America is made up of a multiplicity of family types including two-parent families, one-parent families, cohabitating couples, and gay and lesbian families” (Teachman, Tedrow, & Crowder 2000). Not only is the dynamic set up of the families different from typical American families, but the number of children is different as well. As stated by Pregnant Pause in 2003, the average number of children per household in the United States is two (Pregnant Pause, 2003). Although the family system is important to the Amish, it is only one...

...attainment scores as indicators of schools‟ overall academic effectiveness) , which builds on and extends a four-year longitudinal research study (Day et al, 2006). The study sought to identify key factors that contribute to effective teaching and pupil outcomes in primary and secondary phases of schooling in a sample of 83 effective teachers (45 primary and 38 secondary), 39 school leaders, and approximately 3000 pupils from 39 schools in England. The project had three main aims: (1) To describe, analyse and explain the variation in primary and secondary school teachers‟ classroom behaviours and practice using two different observational instruments, detailed field notes and pupil and teachers‟ perceptions, focusing on English and mathematics teaching; (2) To explore typical and more effective classroom practice of teachers in Years 2, 6 and 9, across different school contexts, professional life phases and ages in relation to observation of practice and professional, situated and/or personal factors which are perceived to affect observed practice over time; and, (3) To draw out implications from the findings of (1) and (2)above for policymakers concerned with raising standards, for schools and for teacher development. Data were collected via extended case studies of teachers identified as of theoretical interest from the VITAE research. One group is defined as more effective, those whose pupils have consistently performed above the expected level given...

Bibliography 9 Introduction “Like the body that is made up of different limbs and organs, all moral creatures must depend on each other to exist.” – Proverb Quotes Dependence is one of the cornerstones of individual, interpersonal, organizational interactions. It is one of the most important bases on which relationships and bonding are created and nurtured. The son depends on the mother for sustenance and love and many other things. The boss depends on his workforce to give him profits, whereas the workforce depends on him for their salary. Dependence permeates all strata of society and is evident everywhere. The following write up will introspect the various aspects of this trait and come up with relevant inferences. Conceptual Framework Dependence - Relying on or requiring a person or thing for support, supply, or what is needed[1] As the definition clearly states, the quality of dependence is innately interpersonal and hence is evident on every level. The concept finds application in any binary, tertiary or multiple interaction bases. Hence, the same in its various forms can be observed inter alia in group activities like projects and assignments,...

Through all these different types of people in one high school setting, two groups stand out above all, high school athlete participants (student-athletes) and those who do not participate in high school athletics (regular students). From available time outside of school, to diversity in additional activities, student-athletes and regular students share and differ in these aspects of high school. Three-a-days in addition to summer workouts, practice five days a week, a multitude of games, the playoffs, the injuries, and the pressure are all the difficulties and grinds a typical high school student-athlete faces. Whereas regular students face the standard seven-hour school day, maybe an hour or two of club activities, and then seven free hours to do whatever one might desire. A student-athlete faces practices and workouts until the evening only to come home to eat a quick dinner and hit the books hard studying late into the night. With practices or games lasting so late into nights, student-athletes face restricted time in available free time for necessary studying and sleeping. On the other hand, regular students arrive home from school in the late afternoon with hours ahead of them before even a family dinner or a primetime television show is broadcasted. Thus,...

...tradition, one of Greece’s first methods for explaining natural phenomena and the cosmos. One of these revolutionary thinkers, Parmenides, diverged from the typical mythological frameworks in three specific ways. Parmenides moved from the standard divine source of appeal for truth, in the form of muses, to a personal source of appeal for truth. Furthermore, Parmenides dictates that reasoning, which in ancient myths is often contradicting and non-provable, should be both logical and provable. Parmenides developed his own theoretical framework that explained reality and the cosmos through a poem, Parmenides of Elea, describing two views of reality: “The Way of Truth” and the “Way of Opinion”. In the first view, reality consists of one whole where change is impossible and all that exists has always been existent and will always be existent (T8 v. 1-34). In the latter view, he explains that the concrete reality of life is deceitful and a matter of opinion, and ultimately does not exist. In his philosophy, Parmenides both sustains certain aspects of the mythological framework and diverges to Pre-Socratic thinking. Structurally, the “Road of Truth” reflects the famous mythology The Odyssey because both are an epic and a metaphysical journey. Furthermore, the Goddess, Eros, replaces the general muse found in myths. Eros, like myth goddesses, orchestrates natural events. For instance, Eros makes opposites in the natural world, such as night and day, converge and eventually overcome one another...
