...Social networking has become an unquestionable part of our everyday lives. We do not even think anything of it, because so many people have accounts on websites like Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, etc., that are checked and updated daily. Those who have a life on the internet do not always realize that they are losing their connections with the real world. Nowadays, a reputation online is more important, and communication thrives through social networking. New cliques are created, and some are even finding a way to make a living online. Social media seems to have quite the impact, especially on teenagers. However, most do not see the impact that it has. Years ago, before social networking existed, friends would go out and have a good time, and popularity in high school would be something of importance to a lot of people. Today, popularity is the equivalent to having a lot of followers on twitter or Tumblr. Tumblr has its own way of creating “celebrities.” Users are considered “Tumblr famous” if they have a high number of followers. This sure is a way to boost your ego, and also a way to become completely conceited. Websites like these make us think that greatness is achieved just because thousands of strangers are familiar with your face. Popularity is not about having a lot of friends anymore; it is just about being known for absolutely nothing. Social networking has its positives, considering it allows us to connect with friends and family in a matter of seconds. Although this...

...Jiaxin Zeng UNIV 111 Williams 02 Dec 2015 Negative Impacts of Social Media It is not an uncommon sight to see someone having meal with their friends or family on the dinner table, completely absorbed by the display of their smart phone. The way we choose to connect with people has become largely mediated by social networking. Most of us, perhaps not surprisingly, have accepted this transition without question. Whether you are dating someone, interviewing someone, or just meeting someone for the first time, there is a special quality about face-to-face interactions. You can catch the subtle tone in their voice, see their expression as it changes from sad to outraged, and you can look them in the eye to see if you trust them. So it’s unfortunate that real-life interactions are on the outs as cell phone conversations, texting, instant messaging and Facebook emails start to take up more of our time. For young people especially, having a cell phone or iPod in hand and ready has become the default mode while walking the streets. That means much less chance of conversation with the people who populate their real lives. Years ago, before social networking existed, friends would go out and have a good time, and popularity in high school would...

...to the greatest number of people affected by the act. Also, the theory of utilitarianism values that the morality of an action is the one that maximizes utility. Many people use the moral principles of the utilitarian to respond in a given situation and do as right as possible. However, some people do not always use their morals values in some situations and tend to use to react on their self-interest or well-being. The story of the number one car manufacturer presents that in the society where we all live, people should use their morals values to make the right decisions and do the right thing for the safety of all. In reference to the theory of utilitarianism the car manufacturer has to make a choice on either leave the release of the Hipster with the major brake defeat that can cause deadly accidents or recalls the release and look further into the incidents.

Craft being dead During that period of time, in the age of industrialisation, Morris william wanted to bridge a gap between the beautiful yet useless craft and the ugly but useful factory object in traditional craftsmanship. By the end of the 19th century Craft has influenced various fields which include metalwork, ceramics, domestic design and other design fields. However, along the way the idea of art was lost to make way for mass marketing pricing and as a result the product could only be afforded by those of upper...

...With over 100 years in the shoe industry, Converse has been a brand with many different associations. It has marketed and positioned itself in numerous ways and has managed to maintain a high level of brand recognition with all ages and walks of life. It was the World’s first performance basketball sneaker. It was worn by the entire Army Air Corps in WWII. It was the official sponsor of the 1984 Olympics, and it was the shoe that Kurt Cobain was famously wearing when he died. It would be hard to argue that any other brand has been independent enough to be tied to so many market segments. This paper will provide insight into how Converse and the Chuck Taylor All Star was able to maintain its prominent position in the shoe market for over 100 years, despite competition, an ever changing market, and even bankruptcy. History Of Converse In 1908, Converse began as a rubber shoe company specializing in tennis shoes, rubber boots and automobile tires. The All Star shoe was created in 1917 as a specialized basketball shoe. It was competing with A.G. Spalding, U.S. Rubber, and Goodrich. Spalding invented the basketball as we know it today, and the basketball shoe, which included a rubber sole for traction. Previously, athletes competed in a high top shoe with a leather sole. At this time, the sport of basketball was still primitive and lacked the national prominence it has today. In 1921, Converse brought on Charles “Chuck” H. Taylor as a traveling sales representative to...

...Case Analysis American Apparel: Unwrapping Ethics Whether American Apparel should change their advertising or stay with the highly sexualized nature they have been using for advertising Situation Analysis How American Apparel is going to take the brand from where they are at and move forward with it, either by changing their ways or staying the same. Internal Environment The resources American Apparel has available to them internally come from hiring young people for design and advertising to help them better reach their targeted market, and come up with the advertisements and style of clothing. The overall organizational goals are to offer a sustainable, high quality clothing product that appeals to young urbanite individuals who are likely to be loyal to their brand, and advertise it just by wearing it and making it popular. External environment Five Forces Influence the industry as a whole and determine the conduct of the firms within the industry and also determines profitability Competitive intensity-High Part of the reason American Apparel wants to change in order to build a lasting brand and to make a turnaround is due to the competitive intensity within the clothing industry. Competitive intensity reduces profitability because the more strongly firms are competing, the more likely they are to cut their prices. This intensity increases when there are numerous balanced competitors, slow growth, high fixed costs, lack of perceived difference between products...

...Evan Brock 04/05/2013 Lester Young Lester Willis Young (August 27, 1909 – March 15, 1959), nicknamed "Pres" or "Prez", was an American jazz tenor saxophonist and clarinetist. He also played trumpet, violin, and drums. Coming to prominence while a member of Count Basie's orchestra, Young was one of the most influential players on his instrument. He played with a cool tone and used sophisticated harmonies, using "a free-floating style, wheeling and diving like a gull, banking with low, funky riffs that pleased dancers and listeners alike". Famous for his hip, introverted style, he invented or popularized much of the hipster ethos which came to be associated with the music. Lester Young was born in Woodville, Mississippi, and grew up in a musical family. His father, Willis Handy Young, was a respected teacher, his brother Lee Young was a drummer, and several other relatives played music professionally. His family moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, when Lester was an infant and later to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Although at a very young age Young did not initially know his father, he learned that his father was a musician. Later Willis taught his son to play the trumpet, violin, and drums in addition to the saxophone. Lester Young played in his family's band, known as the Young Family Band, in both the vaudeville and carnival circuits. He left the family band in 1927 at the age of 18 because he refused to tour in the Southern United States, where Jim Crow laws were in effect and racial...

...America Following the wind not knowing where it would take me was my life. It was town to town with me I was hipster who traveled the world see and hearing everything, so I never wore a tie. My name is Austin Stone I was a free spirit who protested against things that I thought weren’t right. I’ve protested from things such as banning zoo, destroying nature, government, and using the power of sunlight. When I protested it was just for fun and joy. Back then I was just a boy. Now I am a man with a plan. As I passed from town to town until the wind brought me to the state of Minnesota. Going there remind of the first time I protested for what I believe in when I went to South Dakota. When I was in Minnesota the wind brought me to the American mall to protest for the protection of a piece of nature that was going to be destroyed. So I decided to tie myself to a tree, when the construction workers and police kept telling me to leave, but I just got annoyed. I loved nature, so letting nature get her hurt would suck. Destroying this beautiful piece of land wouldn’t be cool just to earn a quick buck. Then others decided to join my crusade to help protect the land. They demand that we move and if we did not comply they would cut off our hands. Despite what they said I stayed even if it cost me my life I was going to protect nature because I loved it. In the end the construction workers and police men saw how much the people and I care for this land so they decided that they would...

...The Milk Carton Kids are a folk duo made up of the likable Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale. Their music is reminiscent of another time, yet they’re relatable. They wear suits but they’re laid-back. They’re a contradiction and you can’t help but want to know more. Number Five: They gave away their first two albums for free because, according to Pattengale, “It was a way of helping to build an audience that was ours and was honest.” The good news? You can still download these albums without charge. Number Four: They surprise you. You’d probably expect a pair of dry-humored musicians from LA to be dressed more like hipsters than businessmen, but not this pair. They wear suits and ties to their concerts and play 1950s vintage guitars. Pattengale ties a handkerchief above his capo to stop his guitar strings from buzzing and because he likes the way it looks....

...Lindgaard Nielsen The short story pivots around a mature woman whom recently discovered a social network for her old school, in which people tend to post descriptions of their current lifestyles. This makes her reminisce of old days and in particular her old boyfriend, Jed Cunningham. Jed was a rather odd fellow, who didn’t have intensions to stand out but somehow never seemed like everybody else. He was tall, with thick black hair, blue eyes, pale skin, broad shoulders and a mouth with a constant sardonic smile. He was smart, cynic and seemed ready to or already had entered adulthood. The curse of him not being capable of doing expected things caused him into living on a remote island by himself. The narrators saw him as a bit of a hipster, embracing the lifestyle of carpe diem, way before everybody else. Her perception of herself is at first rather negative. When she first thinks back on her youth, she isn’t pleased with her current body. Her stomach extends over her waistband, she doesn’t wear make-up and is starting to get wrinkles. But she thinks about the significance of their relationship she comes to terms with her apparel and the reflection in the mirror. At first she seems to be thinking of how amazing and magical their relationship was, and she came to agree with the fact that she would never meet anyone like Jed, but the memory of him was enough to...

...Market Product and Market Analysis for the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Disposable Razor Industry/Market The Gillette Fusion Proglide Blade is a product that is positioned in the men’s hair removal niche. This product is primarily targeted at males age 18-50, in other words any male that is of age to grow facial hair. They are marketed for individuals in the middle income range due to it not being a one-use disposable blade. Gillette is not a high end single blade razor either. These razors do not have a specific race or ethnicity that is targeted and education is also not a specific target for this product, although specific jobs and occupations require more grooming than others. The popularity and trends of facial hair has been an up and down roller coaster throughout the years. The current trends in the men’s shaving market are that beards and stubble are on the rise and other body hair is on the decline. This is the reason why men's facial hair shaving will no longer be the largest men's grooming category. Predictions are that by 2013, men's toiletries will be earning the same amount as men's shaving products, which attributes to the decline in razors and blades in men's shaving sales. Procter & Gamble, which owns both Gillette and Schick, has taken a recent hit with unit sales of Schick razors and dropped 10%. This decline is related to the current popularity of stubble, the growing acceptance of beards in the work place, and the fact that shaving and razors continue...
