What is meant by business casual or corporate casual. How should you dress for interviews?

Over the recent years, many firms have instituted business or corporate casual dress code, and invitations to corporate functions often give suggestions on the type of clothing guests should wear. The term is somehow vague, however, and sometimes leads to pervasive confusion. Even though it clearly differentiates itself from business formal wear, which suggests a tailored suit and tie, it should not be confused with casual wear such as a t-shirt and jeans. Business or corporate casual refers to a type of office clothing style or dress code that is more casual than the traditional business wear (Ciletti, 2010). Many businesses have ...

International Business – Outsourcing or Reshoring?

Introduction

Companies outsource their key processes to third parties for many years, but, perhaps, at the turn of the 21st century, the term “outsourcing” began to gain momentum. Around this time, the companies began to engage third parties to perform the work in other countries – a process known as offshoring – in large emerging markets. The process of offshoring has attracted political and public attention because of concerns that it is destructive to the internal labor market. In this regard, a process of reshoring (the return of production from abroad), but such factors as cost and efficiency of business ...

Differences in the Risk of a Clothing Company and a Utility Company

A clothing company has high exposure to both diversifiable and non-diversifiable. Diversifiable risk exists within the company because of internal activities of the entity (Hopkin, 2013, p. 2). The company can avoid this type of risk by diversifying its investment portfolio. The clothing company has much exposure to this risk because they concentrate on one investment, clothing. On the other hand, the clothing company cannot avoid non-diversifiable risk because non-diversifiable risk affects the whole market (Jordao & Sousa, 2010, p. 2).

On the other hand, a utility company has limited exposure to diversifiable risk. The company has an investment in ...

1. After looking at examples and reading about the Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, do you recognize their influences upon the modern world?
Ancient civilizations clearly had a great impact on the contemporary world. It is surprising how many details of the earlier styles we are adopting today. Thus, not only did we borrow a lot of elements of the Egyptian clothing, but also the commonly used practices of body hair removal, facial make-up and the use of perfume. Greeks brought us the long draping dresses, which are considered very feminine today, while Romans contributed to our understanding of hygiene ...

1. In what ways do you see society change in the first half of the 20th Century and how are those changes reflected in fashion?
In the first half of the 20th Century our society has experienced changes, which have never been so rapid before. Two World Wars and the Great Depression completely changed people’s lifestyle and their understanding of the world. These changes could be seen everywhere: in art, music and sports. Surely, fashion could not be unaffected. Having become emancipated, women demanded more freedom in their dresses. The rationalism of the wartime dictated the necessity ...

1. How does gender impact fashion during these periods?

The fashion of the Industrial Age reflects both the traditional roles of men and women in society as well as the revolutionary changes, which affected not only political and economical situation, but also had a great impact on the social life. While bustles, corsets and crinolines prevailed at certain periods of the Industrial Age, limiting the movements and creating unnatural forms, women strived for equality not only in social life, but also in fashion. Already in 1850s Amelia Bloomers promoted the use of full-legged pants (“bloomers”) and refused to wear corsets and hoops. At the turn of the century the ...

My personal beliefs and values are supported by my dress and body adornment. Sometimes I wear jewelry that represents my individuality and sometimes I wear symbols of my religiousness and spirituality, like a temporary tattoo of an image of a dragon for example. For me it represents freedom, strength, independence and discipline. These values are very important for me. I also wear t-shirts with the image of a tiger, because this animal represents dignity, courage and fierceness and these values are, in my opinion, necessary to survive in the modern world.

I also like to be mainstream, so I wear jeans like ...

The poem entitled “I Ask It,” written by a renowned Aztec poet Nezahualcoyotl is a very short piece, though very potent as it touches upon profound human truths of existence and being, which is actually what the Aztec religion concerned itself with. The Aztec people understood their place on earth; that all life is transitory, and that humans are not granted the life cycle of nature, which is to die and be reborn every spring. The life of a human being is merely a speck in time, barely perceptible, and their fate is subject to the whimsies of the gods, who ...

Introduction

Afrocentrism requires that we examine aspects of African culture from an African perspective. Professor Molefi Keta Asante argues that the purpose of Afrocentrism is to “encourage black nationalism and ethnic pride as a psychological weapon against destructive and depilating effects of universal racism”. By extension, Afro centrism offers an alternative view of the world that analyzes the popular western view proposed by European scholars. Although the premise of Afrocentric ideas is the argument the genesis of civilization from Egypt was a black civilization, it also proposes for the reexamination of some of the traditions and way of life of traditional ...

Foreign Trends in America

Like most American youth, my daily life involves some activities that are influenced by the media and current trends. The American culture consists various forms of traditions and trends borrowed from foreign sources that threaten to drown the original distinct culture of America. As the American culture encompasses various cultures from around the globe, it also spreads its culture to interacting nations. The Internet is instrumental in ensuring people from (if possible) all backgrounds share information and borrow ideas to integrate into their cultures. I believe the future generation will not differentiate their cultures basing on the countries of ...

Introduction

The word “advertise” comes from the Latin word “adverto” which means to “to turn one’s attention to something” (Espejo, 2010). In an effort to turn consumers’ attention to their products, advertisers have used men’s and women’s bodies in part or whole to market and advertise everything from car tires to brassieres. The major effect of such advertisements is to give women and men some unrealistic notions of what is sexually appealing and how they ought to look like (Gill, 2008). According to Espejo (2010) an effective advertisement is one that strikes a chord between ...

The Allies consist of countries such as France, United Kingdom, and Russia. On the other hand, the Central Powers composed primarily of Austria-Hungary and Germany. In this war, mankind came to know and use chemical warfare. Initial chemicals used in warfare include gases such as tear gas, chlorine, phosgene, and mustard ...

Perception: Matching Game

Selection: Salient Information
First, the initial stage is the perception process. While at the selection phase, one must identify and gather salient information that is unique. As such, different individuals gather different information from one other due to differences in individual personalities, attitude, and experience. Resultantly, the salient information is gathered, organized, and interpreted to come up with a perception.

There are numerous pieces of salient information that enable me to determine the move to make on each item when in the process of completing as matching game. Arguably, the individual’s gender remains as one piece of information ...

This essay critically explores the claim that school is a significant site in which sex/gender is produced. The claim derives from a broadly social constructionist position, namely one that views sex/gender as being the product of social meanings and practices rather than something biologically given. The essay begins by outlining the social constructionist critique of the biological account of sex/gender. It then reviews recent research on gender and schooling to explore the extent to which the social meanings and practices that make up life in school may be seen as producing relational forms of masculinity and femininity. In exploring these issues, ...

This was a new start for all. A new and better world was to be built. Puritans decided it was their calling to build and purify the existing social standards. Small ...

The dress code that has been implemented by Hannah’s did not show that it was discriminatory against the female employees since requiring them to wear make-up was not offensive. What the law provides is that employers are prohibited to discriminate their employees based on color, race, gender, religion, age and natural origin (Twomey, 2010).

However, the case of the male employees, the hair length policy which required them to have a hair length that should not go ...

Traditionally, women's role in society has always been a silenced voice, which comes across through their depictions in paintings. The passive female image with the conventional Venus pose is ubiquitous with the classical representation of feminism. The perception of feminism in the 19th century was expressed and can be elucidated through the medium of artwork, noting the daring advances that occurred in art that both inspired and represented the increased progressiveness that feminism was experiencing. Mary Cassatt's "Women in Black at the Opera" explores the emancipation of feminism, through her painting style and all aspects of female ...

The exquisite detailing of her dress and veil exhibit the attention to detail for which Renaissance painters are known.

She has a few strands of curly hair that are not tucked into her hairdo. Attached to her head band that holds the veil in place is one pearl that stands out against her dark hair. The red of her lips is ...

In April of 2013, the Savar garment factory in Bangladesh collapsed, killing over a thousand workers and leaving many others injured (Manik and Yardley, 2013).

The garment workers were making clothing for stores such as Sears and Walmart, and government investigations revealed violations of fire safety that could have contributed to the collapse (Manik and Yardley, 2013). In today’s capitalist economy, many large companies have to cut down on overhead by outsourcing labor and paying less to produce ...

The survival of the modern economy depends on a neverending stream of consumption. This is why cars do not last as long as they used to, it is why the cost of a new television is not significantly higher than the cost of television repair, and it is why restaurants continue to proliferate across the map, hopping from retail corner to retail corner to chase families down before they can get home and cook their own meals. This trend began in the wake of the Great Depression; while it was largely the mobilization of industry for World War II that brought ...

Why, according to Xenophon, are human beings so difficult to rule?

It is, indeed, difficult to rule human beings. Such is because of the fact that human beings possess the ability to reason, which enables them to become highly susceptible to their desires and decisions. In that case, they become very hard to rule because they do not follow instructions coming from others apart from them right away. For them to follow someone who is sending out orders to them, they have to use their reasoning powers to discern whether such orders are compatible with their line of thinking. Thus, an effective ruler of humans is one that possesses great ...

1930-39

Probably one of the best films of the 1930’s was ‘Top Hat’ with Cyd Charisse in the title role. Here one can observe feminism demonstrating that the woman was not just a pin up girl but she is capable of coming out with dance rhythms too. Kay Francis and Elizabeth Taylor also showed that the woman did have acting talent and was not just a simple bimbo.
