...in based on what I recently have viewed. One day I was just browsing on this app using my technology, and came across a dress I liked, so I clicked on it and it took me to the website. I went to all the dress selection, and found a dress I just needed to have. I then realized a marketing transaction was going to occur because there was me and the owner, my desire of wanting the dress, communication through email or phone, and my money in exchange for the dress. With this product, I was part of the target market and when I was purchasing it I had to consider the Four P’s: product, price, promotion, and place. The product was my dress, the price was reasonable, the promotion was the convenience of “one click” buy, and the place was the newly installed app right at my fingertips. In the buying process, there were most of the environmental forces in play. I think the social force, played the biggest role as the site was aimed towards everyone but then did a special draw for the generation Y people. There was also the economic forces with knowing my income to whether I could buy the dress or not, and even though I don’t make any, it was the ease of use in technology and convenience that had a big impact of me buying the dress. The technology was a big impact because if I wouldn’t have had my phone and looking at the app I would have never seen the dress. The competition was high as there were many dresses to choose from but, in my opinion, nothing compared to...

...the female role has only recently been allowed to surface under the scrutiny of the public eye. In the decades before it, women are undermined and repressed by the men that govern their very essence of being. Men, according to Jean-Jacque Rousseau in his piece Émile, do not require the presence of a woman in his life to retain his position of power, yet by the “laws of nature” women without a man has no control over her own social situation (257). Literature in the both the Enlightenment and Romantic eras help illuminate these ideas by enforcing a significant emphasis on the role and dress of the properly educated female and how that affects, or cannot affect, their standing in society. Elaborating on his previous point, Rousseau points out that, “everything that characterizes sex should be respected as established by nature” (256). The differences in both temperament and character of men and women would likewise indicate how their education ought to be in a natural balance against each other, specializing in different but similar actions (Rousseau 256). To better reinforce his theory, Rousseau challenges mothers to “try to educate them [their daughters] like men. They will be quite willing. But the more they resemble men the less will be their power over men, and the greater their own subjection” (256). The more womanly a female is, the better off she will be. If she retains her proper role, she can only gain from it but anything outside her sphere of influence will ultimately...

...CHRISTIAN DRESS AND ADORNMENT Chapter 7 PRINCIPLES OF CHRISTIAN DRESS Samuele Bacchiocchi, Ph. D., Andrews University In every age men and women have bedecked and bejeweled their bodies. The desire to adorn the body with colorful cosmetics, costly jewelry, and eye-catching clothes has left few untouched. Thus, it is not surprising that our survey found, throughout Biblical and Christian history, frequent calls to dress modestly and decently, without glittering jewelry or luxurious clothes. Such a call is especially relevant today when modesty and decency are out, and nudity and sensuality are in. To bring into sharper focus the relevance of the Biblical teachings on dress and ornaments for our time, I shall endeavor to formulate seven basic statements of principle which summarize the highlights of this study. This brief review will help the reader to gain a better overview of the fundamental Biblical teachings on dress and adornment that have emerged in the course of our investigation. PRINCIPLE ONE: Dress and appearance are an important index of Christian character. Clothes and appearance are most powerful nonverbal communicators not only of our socioeconomic status, but also of our moral values. We are what we wear. This means that the outward appearance is an important index of Christian character. The Bible recognizes the importance of dress and ornaments as indicated by the numerous stories, allegories, and admonitions that we have found regarding appropriate...

...how much red, green and blue light is reflected into our eyes. For example, black is perceived when no light is reflected to the eye. When red, green, and blue lights are reflected to the eye a lot then white is perceived. I chose to do an experiment on this mysterious dress on 2 people in my house cause I was curious to see if they would view the color differently or the same. First I asked my mother to look at the dress one time then come back and look at it again, then I asked my father to do the same. My mother said she saw the dress to be black and blue, then my father said he saw the dress to be orange and black. The second time around when they looked again their view point of the color did not change, she still saw blue and black and he still saw orange and black. I feel that our brain play’s a big role in how we see colors. Like in the case of this mysterious dress, if our brain assumes the lighting on the dress is very dim, it will assume the dress itself is white or gold. And if our brain assumes that the lighting is very bright then the dress itself would be dark “black and blue”. The visual of color is very difficult to grasp. Each person experiences color differently because many things influence our color perception. I feel that even if we did all see color the same way, we would still interpret and describe it differently based on our individual life...

...This paper will discuss the roles of biological factors—nature—and environmental influences—nurture—on sexual differentiation and gender identity. The paper will also determine which has the greater influence on gender identity: nature or nurture. Lastly, the paper will discuss the current arguments about sexual identity and how evidence from biopsychology may help resolve the argument. Biological Factors on Sexual Differentiation and Gender Identity Gender identity is being either male or female. Gender identity is the element that helps make up an individual's sense of self. Before a baby is born their gender is form to either a boy or girl. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human body and it is known that the ova and sperm cells contains part of that number (Rathus, Nevid, & Fichner-Rathus, 2011). When a sperm cell fertilizes an ovum, the zygote ends up having the whole 23 pairs of chromosomes, one is from the father and one is from the mother (Pinel, 2009). When a sperm fertilizes an egg, the development of the zygote in the male or female will depend on whether the sperm is carrying an X or Y sex chromosome (Pinel, 2009). Female ova contain only an X sex chromosome and needs the sperm to provide a Y sex chromosome, which develops a male and if it X sex chromosome the zygote will develop a female. In the case of hormones males and females have different levels of hormones. Hormones that influence an individual’s behavior can produce either masculine or feminine...

...offenders they will use surveillance by watching the person and waiting for the individual to commit a crime. After the surveillance of a crime they can make a formal arrest. The repeat offender’s programs second objective is a proactive tactic that can be done in two different ways, blending and decoy. The blending method is where enforcement dress as plain clothed citizens. This keeps other members of the community to not recognize them as law enforcement. This helps them to gain information and keep a close eye for crime. Decoy is where officer’s dress and role play as ordinary citizens. The officers may dress and act in any way needed to portray themselves as an easy target for crime. This helps them to gain the interest of the criminal in order to arrest him. Efforts against drunk driving have been one of the top concerning issues that need attention in America today. Police officers and law enforcement will set up road side stops for every car that falls under a certain number on the road. The officers will then try to determine if the person is under the influence of any alcohol, if the person is suspected of being under the influence they are moved on to a secondary station where they are given a sobriety test and breathalyzer. I think that the most effective tactic used is the efforts against drunk drivers. I think if we can get as many drunk drivers off the road as possible we will be able to feel safer driving on the roads. If I were an officer I would pull over as...

...handkerchief plays an instrumental role as it places the couple in romance scenario. History and Emergence The dance originated in Panay Island in the Visayan Islands and was introduced by the Spaniards during their colonization of the Philippines.

...3. MARKETING & ADVERTISING Developing a Professional Presence • By yenhui • Feb. 1, 2012 • 2028 Words • 21 Views PAGE 1 OF 9 Professional presence Professional presence is a dynamic blend of poise, self confidence, control, and style that empowers us to be able to command respect in any situation. Once acquired, it permits us to project a confidence that others can quickly perceive the first time they meet us. The importance of making a good first impression A positive first impression can be thought of as the first step in building a long-term relationship. The Primary Effect The development of professional presence begins with a full-appreciation of the first impression. The tendency to form and retain impressions quickly at the time of an initial meeting illustrates what social psychologist call a primacy effect in the way people perceive one another. The general principle is that initial information tends to carry more weight than information received later. First impressions establish the mental framework within which a person is viewed, and information acquired later is often ignored or reinterpreted to coincide with this framework. The First Few Seconds When two people meet, their potential for building a relationship can be affected by many factors. Within a few moments, one person or the other may feel threatened, offended or bored. Assumptions versus Facts The impressions you form of another person during the initial contact...

The article also mentioned one of the examples that demonstrates this constructed role, which was the event when she sent a homeless person onstage to accept her VMA awards. Additionally, the constructed role is also depicted through the author’s bare assertion that, “At 22, she’s perhaps her generation’s most unlikely social activist, and also one of its most powerful”, which leads to the next discourse of her being a negative...

...understanding of themselves and their sense of identity. In the beginning of the movie, it is apparent that Nadia does not have a strong sense of identity. However, the materials needed to create her identity are already there. When the movie begins, and Nadia is introduced, we see the westernized Nadia juxtaposed with the traditional Moroccan backdrop. Nadia is dressed in French clothing while the other women are dressed in traditional Moraccan dress. Immediately we are shown how Nadia was changed by her experience abroad, which ultimately affects who she becomes. The conflict in Nadia’s identity comes in a contrasting scene later in the movie. Before her father’s funeral, a woman comes to Nadia with the dress she was to wear for the occasion. Her opposition to this request shows her denial of Moraccan culture. After refusing to wear the dress and unwilling to attend the funeral, the conflict in idneity becomes evident when she is captivated by a voice she hears. Easily influenced by Kirana’s voice, Nadia decides to put on the dress and go to the funeral. In the beginning of this movie, Nadia does not know what she wants in life, nor...
