...companies have been doing to help this issue is allowing employees to work from home so the person can balance their work and stress. The employees don’t like to be transferred to one company to another and they should look for other options. France Telecom is one company that is being investigated for suicide and analyzing what happened to hopefully prevent this in the future. 1. What is your reaction to the situation? What factors, both inside and externally contributed to the situation? I think that no matter how much stress you can be going through taking your life is just the easy choice, the easy way out. Instead, one should work hard and keep up never giving up. Some factors that contributed to this is that the employees were not being listened to when they expressed their problems. Several occasions the worker wrote and was not replied. The worker was also being transferred from one place to another involuntarily. Some external factors that contributed was the morale of the employee was down and they were going through some kind of trauma or suffering. 2. What appeared to be happening in France Telecom’s workplace? What stress symptoms might managers have looked for to alert the problem? In France Telecom employees were not being heard. The employees were being psychologically harassed. The company what not addressing the situation and saw like a fad among the workplace. The employers were pressured because of the fear of losing their...

...they certainly make for an appealing and persuasive advert. However, there also tends to be some shortcomings and/or limitations on any given advert; and probably an angle which would have perhaps provided a better perspective to the targeted public. This essay is therefore aimed at critiquing and analyzing the Warid Telecom TV advert for their campaign to register onto the Warid Pesa mobile money transfer platform. In the said advert, a cross section of different publics is presented - a student calls her dad; a guy calls his friend; a stranded young man calls another and a business man calls on another person – and all of them are saying “Please send me money right now!” The situation presented in the TV Ad depicts distressed characters who urgently require a service (money to be sent to them) which the advertiser purports to provide with as less stress as possible (of course in comparison to the competitors on the market). But this is in the punch line at the climax of the advert where WARID promotes their Mobile Money platform branded Warid Pesa as the only such service on the market where a customer neither needs to be currently subscribed on the Warid Telecom network nor have to wait before approval of their registration. The advert cleverly, yet subtly paints the comparative analysis between Warid Pesa and MTN’s Mobile Money by highlighting the fact that for other service providers, one would require to be a subscriber to the respective telephone network, fill registration...

...impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona has had its share of quite a number of funny and dramatic moments. In every aspect of our daily lives, we can always make the best of any situation and turn it into a fun circumstance. And it’s this natural hopefulness that gets us through the different problems we encounter every day. In good and bad times, in sickness and health, we are counted on laughters , dramas , tears to lift us up. Since the television and technologies arose; Filipinos have been forever glued to moving pictures inside a box. From toddlers to grandparents, countless hours have been spent in front of the television.

...For this assignment we are to apply our knowledge of linguistics to a practical situation. The situation I chose to address involves brand names and linguistics of a new perfume. According to Paola Norambuena, linguistics is the study of the structure and development of language. Because all humans learn and use language, linguistics becomes a key factor when brands decide on names for their products. These names aim to represent products in positive ways that catch the consumer’s attention. Some aspects that play into the way that consumers interpret brand names include semantic relations, connotations, sounds in the name, differentiation, ownability, sensitivity, and credibility. A product name that is semantically related to a product is one that has a similar meaning to the product itself. Differentiation involves the idea that an item’s name is unique enough to set it apart from other products in the same category. Ownability refers to the fact that a company must be able to legally own the rights to a product’s name, so it can’t have a name that has already been taken by a different company. Sensitivity deals with respecting other cultures as well as the company’s own culture when choosing a product name, making sure not to choose one that is offensive or could be offensive in translation. The credibility of a product’s name is concerned with the fact that consumers want to purchase items that sound legitimate. The name of a product can directly affect a consumer’s decision...

...Winston Wood English 1101 For many people, music is one of the most important aspects of life. It can help someone through a hard time, bring out creativity and passion and even heal the soul. Unfortunately, with the advancements in technology, that very same creativity and passion ceases to exist in most music today. The soul of music has now been destroyed. Musical instruments have now been replaced by computers, which take away the physical and emotional connection between artists and their instrument. As a musician, I am utterly disgusted by this. Also, more and more artists do not write any of their own material anymore, especially if they have sold out to big companies such as Viacom, Walt Disney and Time Warner. Since the “digital age” of music, artists have been in a race with one another to see who can make the most popular and highest grossing material the fastest. This results in single and album flops, because the producers and artists do not take the time to thoroughly review all the material, basically creating less- than desirable music. The relationship between artists and their work is sacred, and not only in music. Imagine this; an extremely talented painter just finished her newest painting. She wishes to sell the promotional rights of her newest piece to a big company to gain exposure for her work. Instead of promoting the original painting she created, they edit the piece with cutting-edge technology to their own liking and promote their edited...
