...THIS CONTEXT CONTAINS THE TRUTH AND MAY BE HARMFUL TO OTHERS; I believe in my heart that today’s Generation should be called “GENERATION F.” Generation F, because of the “failure” in our government for not protecting our Veterans’, our children, and our society as a whole! The way our society lives today is based on social media, greed and getting into other nation’s business, instead of taking care of our own nation. I, as a voter, voted for the politicians who I trust that will honor to serve my nation, state, and city. They are like palm trees, first they grow straight when elected, then they start bending towards the other side, and their palms (hands) are always open, and last their nuts at when their on top. I know I am the oldest in my class, and during my days I was considered the Baby Boomers. People born in the 1950s and early 1960s are Baby Boomers, named because there were so many of us. As we started having children in the 1970s, this was a group who tore away from the traditions of the 50s and 60s, but later found out that they were the first generation to have less than their parents. The children of the Baby Boomers born primarily early 60s to late 70s are called Generation X. If you were born in the 80s you are Generation Y. In today’s society people born in the 1950s and 1960s are so different from those who were born in the 1980s who are the Generation Y, because of how they interact with others. During my days and till now it is more verbal, today’s...

...activist backlash. The website described the bikini as a “push-up,” complete with “extra padding for breast enhancement.” (Mendez, para. 1) Because this description was added to a website that markets to girls as young as 2nd grade, it caused an uproar about the company’s intentions of over-sexualizing young girls. Comments began pouring in decrying the company’s apparent lack of decency or sensitivity. All were asking the same question: “how soon is too sexy?” Did this controversy expose a company intent on objectifying young girls? Or is it another cog in the successful marketing wheel of one of the popular clothing retailers in America? Company Background Founded in 1892 as an elite outdoor clothing store, Abercrombie and Fitch, or A&F, was the brainchild of owners David T. Abercrombie and Ezra H. Fitch. In 1976, however, the company closed after filing for bankruptcy, but was revived soon after by Oshman’s Sporting Goods of Houston as a...

...Identify and apply appropriate statistical analysis: The statistical test that I decided to analyze was the F-Test. This test is used for comparing variances. The reason I chose this test was due to the fact that I am going to be using this same data on my term paper. I will be comparing runway incursions that took place between 2011 and 2012. The data from this group will be independent of each other. The F-Test can also be conducted with data that is unpaired. Data Collection: Techniques in data collection can be from the entire population, or it can be from sample data, which can be random or selected from the population. In the runway incursion F-test the data will be collected from the entire population. Review: The data that was collected for this test was taken from the FAA website, which gives runway incursion totals for each quarter. The given data is from the population. I have chosen the F-test because this will give us variance. Critique: There were a few other tests that could have been conducted, but the F-test was the one that would give me the best results. The T-Test would have been an option for me if I were comparing variance for a single sample. A second option would have been the Chi-test for independence, the problem with this test was I wasn’t testing for independence. I was testing for variance. The F-test was the best fit because I had more than one sample set that was independent from each other. Interpretation: This is where we analyze...

...especially in the fashion industry; you’re not just 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...

A research question, which is more specific and focused than a general topic, is the question that you will answer in your paper. For example, if your general area of interest is Social Security, a potential research question might ask, “How might low-income families save more money under a reformed Social Security plan that includes personal retirement accounts?” As you develop a research question, keep in mind that you will research sources with both supporting and differing viewpoints.
