...runs on ever-faster cyclings of the new” (165). It is no longer an issue of how well an advertisement can influence its consumers. Where the greater challenge lies is, if that corporation can continually give its audience what it desires. It is a whole new world, and corporations must constantly modify their approaches on their products to be successful. Not only must they modify their products, but they must also create ads that will make their product memorable to the consumer or they will inevitably fail and become a part of marketing history. Camel cigarettes are a long-standing brand that has been around for almost a century. Throughout the 20th Century, Camel periodically adjusted their advertising methodology. Especially in the 1980s, Camel advertisements were predominantly filled with white males who were middle-aged with blonde hair and a mustache and who were the focal points of the ads. The mustache particularly personified masculinity, ruggedness, and what a ‘man’ should have. Their slogan during that time was, “It’s a Whole New World”. Surprisingly, in this ‘world’, there seemed to be very few women in...

...Red Bull Beau Stough ECO/372 28 September 2015 Kevin McKinley Red Bull With the world becoming ever so small with the advancements in technology, it has become much easier for companies both large and small to reach the consumer at home and abroad. Red Bull is one of the companies that has seen massive growth within the last 30 years and continues to show growth each year. Red Bull is an Austrian based business developed and founded by Dietrich Mateschitz in the mid-1980s (Ukessays.com, 2015). A major strength of the company is its international presence. With sales in 166 markets worldwide, Red Bull is dominate in the United States and North America (Ukessays.com, 2015). Within the last 5 years the company has seen major international growth. Each country that Red Bull takes on as a possible new market presents their own individual challenges with individual economies to enter into. President and Congress Stimulation and Contraction of the Economy On September 8, 2011 U.S. President Barack Obama proposed the American Jobs Act on a nationally televised address to a joint session of Congress. This act is a measured approach that will boost job creation (Boushey, 2011). Inside the act includes a number of key proposals that in 2011 had bipartisan support, including infrastructure investments, putting teachers back in school, tax cuts for small businesses, and help for the unemployed (Boushey, 2011). While this may not directly impact Red Bull as...

...increase in diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension among adults and children (Gavin, Dowshen, & Izenberg, 2004). These adverse health conditions are more common in Australian obese children, than children of a healthy weight (Troiano, 1995 as cited in Stunkard & Wadden 2002). The World Health Organisation reports that obesity is a global health concern (Lean & Sattar, 2007). In the past decades obesity in children was not always the centre point of health speculation (Allison et al, 2006). In recent times it has become a serious health concern in Australia (Brand-Miller, Foster-Powell, Colagiuri & Barclay, 2007). A study done by Mossberg (1989) shows there has been a dramatic increase in obesity since the 1980’s. In 1980 Australia had eight percent of children classified as obese (as cited in Mcdermott, 2006). The same study done in year 2000 showed obesity had more than doubled to 18.4% in under 18 year olds (Mcdermott, 2006). Gaven et al, (2004) mention that challenges arise for parents to provide a healthy lifestyle for children in modern day society. Maintaining a healthy weight is about balancing food consumption and energy use through physical activity, Lara (2000) remarks that “obesity is a disorder of energy balance” (as cited in Lean & Sattar 2007, p.21). Even the most motivated parents are finding it difficult with time restraints to make available healthy food and ensure adequate exercise (Gaven et al., 2004). There is an abundance of...

...WRITING A SUMMARY-RESPONSE ESSAY In academic contexts, you are often asked to write response essays (sometimes called reaction papers) in which you select an aspect of a text that particularly interests you and respond to it in writing. That is, you will be asked to read something (a journal article, a chapter in a book, a technical report) and to write a summary and an analysis of what you read. The purpose of this type of assignment is to find out whether you understood what you read, what your response to the content of the text is, and whether you can express your response clearly. Generally, a response to written material consists of two basic parts: A. a summary of the written material B. an analysis of part of all of the material. Here is the typical format of a response essay: Introduction (The First Paragraph of your essay) 1. State the author’s name and surname 2. State the name of the article (For example: In “The Dangers of the Television” ) 3. Summarize the article and state the author’s main issues/thesis and key supporting points that the author discusses. Use an opening phrase such as: says, discusses, explains, argues, shows.

...Andy Jones English 102 28 September 2014 Our mouths are closed:Locker room camaraderie in sports today In his article,”Locker Room Cultivates a Reluctance to Criticize” published in the September issue of the New York Times, author Ben Shpigel discusses the growing trend of deviant behavior amongst professional football players: the alarming increase of anomie among their teammates in the locker room. Shpigel agrees and argues with other columnists and authors, that the reason behind most of this deviant behavior stems from a fast and rapid change in wealth, the stress and burden that it brings with it, when dealing with fortune and fame. The two most recent cases of player misconduct have caused an outbreak of cries from players and fans, when running back Ray Rice of the Baltimore Ravens was caught on an elevator camera knocking his fiance out cold and running back Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings charged with child abuse for beating his son with a switch. The sports industry has been under extreme scrutiny for years now: with its rules of engagment towards the misconduct of players, but none more than ever with what we are seeing in the news and media today with the N.F.L. Ben Shpigel a sports journalist for the New York Times, has covered the New York Jets since 2011, the Yankees since 2010 and the Mets since 2005. Shpigel was born in Philadelphia on Sept. 23, 1980. Shpigel has since received a bachelors degree for English and Journalism at Emory University...

...Taylor Tamayo Period 2 Feb. 3, 2012 Friday Night Lights Movie/Book Analytical Essay H. G. Bissinger was a writer for The Philadelphia Inquirer when he was selected to be a Harvard Neiman Fellow. This was while he was at Harvard he had the idea to write a book that specifically focused on the role of high school football plays within American society. This happened to take place in particular rural societies. Bissinger returned to the Inquirer for a short amount of time, received a Pulitzer Prize, and then decided to go out in search of a community in which high school football was prevalent. Bissinger then settled on Odessa, Texas. In Odessa, Texas Permian High School and its football team, the Permian Panthers, had a long history of winning in Texas' 4A and 5A divisions. This earned Permian High School winning championships in 1965, 1972, 1980 and 1984. Bissinger moved himself and his family to Odessa, Texas and spent the entire 1988 football season with the Permian Panther players, their families, their coaches, and even many of the townspeople in an effort to understand the town and its die-hard football culture. Bissinger's newest book, Shooting Stars, was published by Penguin Press in September 2009. The book, co-authored with basketball superstar LeBron James, tells the story of James' high school career. Bissinger is now in the process of completing a book about his twin sons. Born 13 weeks premature in 1983 and weighing less than two pounds, they...

...Sports sponsorship and consumer purchase intention： From the perspective of consumer brand awareness 1.0 Introduction Sports sponsorship has long been crucial sources of funds for sports, literature and art as well as the social events. And after 30 year of development, sponsorship marketing has gradually become a global industry. It is widely acknowledged that sports sponsorship enhances the consumer's perception of a brand via big events. However, the study on to what extent the sports sponsorship would influence consumer purchase intention is rare. This essay is established in the purchase intention of consumers, from which to explore consumer brand awareness, and then analyze the relationship within sports sponsorship and consumer brand awareness and purchase intention.

Pit bulls are athletic and strong dogs that come from Bulldogs and Terriers who were crossbred to make a working and fighting breed. The core of the breed is made up of three dogs, the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, and Staffordshire, while the term “Pit Bull” is used to refer to them. Pit bulls are misconceived to be vicious and dangerous for a variety of reasons. Considering their bad reputation, they should be legally allowed as pets for the reason that they are trainable, great companions, and their invalid history is the reason for the continuous comments...

...Comparing and Contrasting Essentialist Approaches to Social Psychology with Social Constructionist Approaches to Social Psychology. A widely recognised definition of social psychology is “an effort to understand and explain how the thought, feeling, and behaviour of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others” (Allport, 1985). However, how to measure this, the research methods to be used and what constitutes useful evidence has caused much debate in the history of social psychology. This essay will compare and contrast the two epistemologies of essentialist and social constructionist approaches to social psychology and the research methods of quantitative and qualitative used in each approach. Essentialists’ view of the world is that the properties possessed by a group are universal in that group and do not depend on context. However, a member of a group may possess other characteristics that are not required to include it as a group member but, it must not have characteristics that preclude it from being a member of the group (Burr, 1995). For example, essentialists believe that personality consists of a number of traits and personality of an individual is established by the level of each of these traits. Essentialists also believe that these traits remain more or less stable over time and it is our personality that influences behaviour (Maltby, 2010). As essentialists are able to classify groups as such, they use quantitative research...
