I. Company Overview The apparel industry is a highly competitive and almost exclusively based on image. As fashion becomes "fast", i.e. designing and selling apparel becomes more for masses as opposed to a conventional haute couture model, established and emerging players alike are competing over an increasingly powerful market segment, namely Millennials, who continue to shape business across different industries. Forever 21 is one notable example of apparel companies competing, primarily, over Millennial customers. Forever 21, operating in seven countries in addition to Europe, is a notable example of an established apparel player adapting to continuous changes in apparel ...

Although not many of us realize it, gender is an important aspect in how we present ourselves in the society we interact with daily. The gender and sexuality of a person has an impact on his or her behavior, actions, and attitudes in general (West & Zimmerman). In order to see how gender influence actions, I decided to analyze my behavior myself. Immediately after waking up in the morning, I first check my phone for messages and updates from my social media accounts. Afterwards, I get up from the bed and go through my morning routines—washing my face, taking ...

Introduction

The cost of manufacturing ammonia using the Haber process plant constitutes the following components: the cost of energy, raw materials, equipment, labor and sparking substances (catalysts). Energy (gas or electricity) costs are incurred to maintain the temperature of the reaction. The Harber process is operated at very high temperatures, and pressures thus higher costs of energy are incurred. Some of the raw materials consumed in the Haber process such as nitrogen and hydrogen are recovered at the end of the process. The recovered materials are recycled back to the system to reduce the cost of raw materials. Starting and ...

Latent prints can be defined as the pretense of individual’s ridged skin. They are generally known as friction ridges or fingerprints. These impressions are regularly imperceptible to the exposed eye despite the fact that they are surrounding us and each one of us accidently leaves them everywhere. At the point when an investigator is dealing with a crime, other than taking a gander at the physical proof, one of the main things they do is check for fingerprints. This is an exceptionally sensitive process on the grounds that relying upon the surface a latent print can without much ...

I. Environment Scan: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats Currently, Google is an Internet company which has gone well beyond search business (Edelman & Eisenmann, 2011). Against a stated philosophy of "It is best to do one thing really, really well," Google has diversified core business, i.e. search and paid listings, into a broad range of product and service offerings cutting across numerous industries and business activities. Notably, Google has diversified from search business into communication applications, productivity applications and computing operating systems (Edelman & Eisenmann). This expansion mandates an environment scan of Google's to be not only limited to search business but ...

Women and Gender Studies

In advertisement one for CoverGirl, it is made clear women should make an effort to get full, healthy looking eyelashes via CoverGirl products in order to be noticed by a man, as well as to feel, “more womanly.” It perpetuates a few stereotypes toward women, including the classic idea that women should wear makeup to be noticed, as well as the idea that women must wear makeup to achieve femininity. Women who do not want to wear makeup or do not feel comfortable wearing makeup may be negatively impacted by this advertisement. A Toys R Us advertisement may not ...

As mentioned in the article, one does not need to feel sorry for psychopaths to ...

Management and leadership

Introduction Leadership seems so common that the definition is almost vague. Leadership and management are two different traits but when they are combined they are useful for optimal performance. What makes up a leader is education and what makes up a manager is training (Bennis, 2009). The word management in the English language comes from the Latin word manus, meaning “horse training” (Darling & Nurmi, 2009). Shakespeare used this meaning in King Lear, but it also means deceit in the play As You Like It. George Washington also referred the same meaning of management in his Letters. After the industrial ...

Mexican American women were influenced by various components. Chaperonage refers to the traditional instrument of social control in the United States. Chaperonage existed for many years on the border separating the United States and Mexico. The concept is understood as an indicator of familial oligarchy. The elders in society took a leading role in dictating the life of the young generation (Ruiz 145). Chaperonage referred to the symbolic and actual assertion of familial oligarchy. The Mexican women coming of age in the 1920s and 1930s challenged the authority of the elders in society. Young Mexican-Americans in the United States ...

There are some who are quick to point out how women are photographed in other places that are not just the home or some sexual setting. Take the famous picture of the woman in the blue overalls saying “We Can Do It!” that appeared during wartime for example. This particular piece of propaganda demonstrates how women can feel powerful in their own right as they held down the home front while the men were away. Not only that but they helped to provide the materials that the soldiers needed over on the battlefield. The other interesting thing about this ...

The prudence concept has been an area of controversy, especially in accounting standards as there have been conflicting ideas on its relevancy and its desirability as a useful tool in the field of financial reporting. There has been a need to develop the prudence concept to suit financial reporting needs both in the contemporary context and in the future. A conceptual framework that incorporates the use of accounting practices that ensure consistency, coherence, acts as a guide to financial reporting and is easily understood by users is what is required for financial statement users.

Introduction

This paper describes why the existence of race is not biologically yet it exists in the political and social sense. Additionally, the paper analyzes the factors that lead to variations among humans.

Why race isn’t “biological real.”

Interactions, professions, job positions, schools, and justice are all impacted by race, and people view the world through a racial lens (Frankenberg 58). Hence, the activities that people engage in are as a result of their race. According to Boas (7), although people behave in a certain way because they belong to a particular group, race is not biological. It developed through history since people are continuously ...

In simple terms, Gattaca, a 1997 movie, can be described as a sci-fi adventure that is combined with a crime narrative. The viewer is treated to a relentless action throughout the movie as the police engage in a search for a murder. As the story unfolds, the viewer’s attention is turned to a young lad known as Vincent, also named ‘Jerome’ by his workmates. Vincent is trying to overcome his biological challenges that he was born with in his quest to become an elite astronaut in a space program run by Gattaca Corporation. As the two stories unfold ...

Insensitive and uncomfortable metropolis, a concrete jungle, decorated with whole strings of yellow cabs, standing in huge traffic jams, - the list goes on There is an opinion that New York is only great place to earn money, whereas California and the beaches of Florida are better for relaxation. However, the magic of the megacities - and New York is no exception is the brightest representative of this caste - in something else. Best place for entertainment, the best clubs in the world, the spirit of urban merriment - this will not be found in any resorts. In today's ...

Integral to humans is a constant pursuit of distinction. This pursuit can assume positive, constructive or negative, damaging forms. On a positive side, hard work can be a springboard for distinction regardless of professional, social, economic and cultural barriers. On a negative side, distinction can be achieved at someone else's expense. In one most damaging form, distinction can be sought based on race. By emphasizing – mistakenly – one's superior race because of physical attributes, particularly skin color, distinction, if any, becomes damaging at multiple levels. This concept of (false) distinction informs Cohen's argument on race and culture. In his argument, ...

Mothlight

Question A: Stan Brakhage’s Mothlight articulates the structure and limits of no-camera psychedelic, experimental film by demonstrating a clear, simple gimmick presented simply and without comment. The handwritten title, jumping around in the frame because it was carved onto every frame of film, establishes a homespun nature to the short film that sets it apart from most conventional film. Furthermore, the use of crushed objects on mylar film, playing them at high speed, illustrates the desires of experimental film to innovatively establish atmosphere and tone. The goal of Mothlight is to intrigue and unsettle, demonstrating that, while this ...

Introduction

The evolution of cosmetics has played a significant role in the civilization that has been massively witnessed in the world. Though the current cosmetic users do not recognize this fact, for several centuries, cosmetics were used in religious ceremonies, for the enhancement of beauty and also for the promotion of good health. This assisted in altering the way people looked, fixed their bodies in times of ill-health and also enabled the expression of religion, as well as, beliefs in different communities. Presently, the cosmetic industry has been tremendously successful thus presenting a broad base of products to choose from. ...

Crowd Working

INTRODUCTION The nature of work is changing. From a fixed-hour, fixed-place and fixed pay job design, more recent job offers in current market suggest new developments in employment. In older work arrangements, employees are hired based on fixed-period contracts (usually renewable at employer's will and most consistently cancelled during periods of economic crunch and mass layoffs) and are compensated in return for labor hours spent in more or less fixed location and/or workplace layout design. The emergence of ICT innovations, particularly web-based workflow systems, has, however, introduced interesting novelties into how work can be done but also, probably more ...

Kawaii, in the context of Japanese culture is the quality of cuteness and has become one of most prominent aspect of the Japanese popular culture such as the unique Japanese Fashion Styles. Prior to being a modern translation of cute, the world signifies shyness or a form of embarrassment in the past. Due to the unique and liberating feeling brought by the culture it is no wonder that it took the world via storm. The term Kawaii was initially seen from Lady Muraki’s The Tale of Genji that highlighted pitiable characteristics. Before the term refers to women being ...

The representations of women in art and popular culture are a study in contradictions. Western society demands that women conform in their appearance to competing and contradictory requirements, imposing a standard of beauty that is impossible for all women to live up to. Women are supposed to be at once sensuous and erotic, but also demure and sexually reserved. They are supposed to be flawless and attractive, but also completely authentic and au-naturel. Women are also not supposed to age, but they should not attempt to hide their wrinkles and sagging skin, because it is a sign of insecurity. ...

Natural Beauty vs Cosmetic Beauty

The recognized standards of beauty differ from country to country and from one time period to another. Beauty was subject to trends and formed by the public opinion. Every new historical époque brought changes to the perception of beauty. Some attributes were becoming symbols of aristocrats, while others demonstrated peasant origins. Modern culture and lifestyle also dictates some canons of beauty. However, there are those who intentionally try to avoid following them, and by doing this they try to reject being associated with the traditions and views of the masses. Today, the withstanding of the advocates of natural beauty ...

In colonial times, women had the right to vote in some areas and they even had the right to own a property as well. The country was quite agricultural in this period and both the men and women shared their responsibilities in the farm work, as well as in child care. Due to this, the birth rate was also high. It is said that, without the women’s bravery and hard work, the colonies would have failed. It is true that women did not have the same rights as they have today, but they are still considered as an ...

Costume and Makeup

The history of theater and filmmaking has its long and full of changes journey. But, there are two things that remained unchanged from the very beginning.

Abstract

When Invisible Man, the seminal novel by Ralph Ellison was published in 1953, it quickly established a reputation as one of the most important literary depictions of the struggles of African-Americans in the history of fiction. The central character, the titular ‘invisible man,’ struggles with a metaphorical invisibility that was endemic to the 20th-century attitudes of white hegemony toward African-Americans, and encapsulated the black experience as one of marginalization and oppression. These elements contribute greatly to manifesting a vision of black American life that expressly prevents blacks from achieving the same level of respectability and acceptance as whites, regardless ...

Skidmore, Steur and Telles. Comparative Racism Between the United States, Cuba and Brazil Racism in the Americas is the societal result of colonization that took place from the end of the fifteenth century to the neo-colonialism of the last century. Then, as these eras ended, different countries adapted to the plurality of races that now existed in their own ways, some better than others. In most cases, but not all, there was European-American sentiment of superiority over other races that they now lived with. They now had freed slaves that they mistreated and subverted for hundreds of years, as ...

It has always been innate for people to group themselves together based on a certain attribute, such as life philosophy, religion, lifestyle and the like. Once a group has been formed, the group members itself will establish characteristics that will make them identifiable from the popular crowd, a quality that will make them ‘stand out’, so to speak. The members will then conform their personality, self-image and eventually, identity in order to fit in with these perceived defining qualities. This is the process in which as subculture is formed. With this in mind, a subculture can be defined as ...

Introduction

The food system and the all the supply chain activities between production and the delivery of the food to the final consumer are dominated by very few corporations. The effect of this concentration of corporate entities in the food system is that the small farmer has been pushed out of business because of the mass production systems of the corporate farm owners. In the previous millennium, the sociology of agriculture was concerned about whether the family-owned farms would survive (World Congress of Rural Sociology & Bonanno, 2010). In an ideal situation, the food system should benefit from the activities of ...

Introduction

In the year 2015, the number of foreign students currently studying in the colleges of universities across the United States of America reached 1.05 million (Hookstead, 2015). As the number keeps on increasing every year, the interaction between students and education providers coming from different social and cultural norms is also increasing. This means interaction between people who might not have the same social and cultural norms. This can become a significant challenge when the individuals with limited exposure to low intercultural competence to other cultures end up facing or interacting with people from other cultures. In such situations, ...

What is the true subject, or theme of the film, and what kind of statement, if any, does the film make about the subject? Which elements and which scenes contribute most to addressing the theme of the film? I think the true subject, or theme of the film is sensationalism and corruption. This film takes aim at the way celebrity court cases are portrayed in the media, and the kind of impact that level of attention can have on the individual on trial. It also highlights corruption within the entertainment industry, portraying it as a seedy world where injustice ...

Learning in Global Perspectives

INTRODUCTION Learning experience is becoming increasingly a function in cultural diversity. The growing diversity in classroom makeup, put differently, has made handling differences across cultural boundaries, if any, a necessity. This development in learning contexts presents both opportunities and challenges for learners and educators. In both (opportunities and challenges) students and educators encounter situations involving negotiations about a broad range of educational issues including, for example, curriculum development, student-instructor engagement methods, learning methodologies, and, not least, cross-cultural competence. The challenges / opportunities experienced by students and educators vary according to each learning context an educational process is performed. Indeed, ...

Description of FST Value

The Fst value in genetics provides the benchmark and information within a population, indicating their ability to breed. Through comparisons of gene frequency of scientists and applications of mathematical models, then the level of breeding between populations can be determined using the value. The calculated value of a potential of breeding among a population provides the information for establishing the FST component of the genetic makeup of the population. The numerical distance between populations, breeding, and the genetic association represents the fixation value. When the fixation distance between the populations are wider, then the reproduction potential is also significantly ...

When Madame Yue Sai founded the first ever modern cosmetic brand in China in 1922, her aim was to be the first global China-based cosmetic brand (Yang and Chandon 5). However, she first intended to concur the Chinese cosmetic market by producing the best skincare and beauty products for the Asian women. She saw a market niche because Asian women could only access foreign products that were designed for different skin types. She overcame many odds to secure the Chinese market with a nationwide distribution capacity (Yang and Chandon 5). She was able to develop skincare and beauty products ...

Each and every period of the history has its own significant features that may define even the whole era. For example, the Medieval Ages are significant in terms of their religious strictness of rules and norms of behavior.

The 20ies of the XX century are famous for their absolutely different from the previous time period fashion, for their freedom and of course, for the mafia. As we may notice, it does not matter whether it is the era, the century, the decade or even one ...

Gone are the times when consumers visited malls to shop, so, the concept of ‘futuristic malls’ has been taken up by industrialized hegemonies like U.S.A and China. Soon, malls will be equipped with technological features that we would have never imagined to see, eventually leading to the downfall of online stores. In today’s world, every mall has a touch screen display that guides you through the mall. But what if this feature was upgraded? If these touch screen displays could analyze your previous shopping history by recognizing your face and guide you accordingly, you wouldn’t be able ...

Introduction

Netzly (2000) defines special effects as the process of turning the imaginary events of a film look so real. This can be achieved mechanically through makeup and visual manipulations of images. In the early years of film production, special effects were manually done but in the current generation, both visual effects and makeup can be achieved through the use of computer generated imagery (CGI) (Netzly, 2000). Use of specialized materials like silicone to creatively transform a film cast into what the director envisages and in accordance with the theme of the film is the work of the makeup and ...

What is the difference between a biological and social view of race?

The biological view of race believes that race is determined by biology, the genetic makeup of an individual and their innate characteristics. This can be determined b observing the genetic makeup and taking a look at the chromosomal arrangement of the people belonging to different races. The biological view of view is also influenced by the social view that views people by their physical appearance. The social view believes that race is something that is defined by the skin color of people and the way their hair looks, the shape their eyes are and any other traits that are ...

My final project is going to focus on the representation of female masculinity in popular media and especially as seen in Orange is the New Black (OINB). The representation of gay women on television started back in the 1980s in the medical series called Heartbeat. It took so long a time until the 21st century for society to accept their existence. Television plays a very critical role as mainstream media, and many people find themselves glued to it. In order for society to appreciate gender diversity that has strayed from mainstream traditional gender relations, it is important to look ...

Section 1: Foundation of the Study

The majority of business information is stored electronically, creating the need for a system of securing this information. As the systems providing computer and internet security becomes more and more complex, security is increasingly compromised.

Surprisingly, despite the variety and amount of security risks, security tools designed to counter these are slow to develop appear for business consumption (Garcia-Teodoro et al, 2009). With the introduction of new technological trends, information technology ( ...

The biological study of criminal behavior is known as bio criminology. The theories suggest that a person deviate from the social norms and moral values due to his/her biological makeup. The biological interpretation of crime originated from the Italian school of criminology. It was advanced in the nineteenth century.

The nature-nurture controversy refers to the debate over whether heredity or environment play a greater role in a person’s behavior. The debate addresses how much of our makeup, behavior, personality and preferences are the product of biology such as genetics and biological makeup as opposed to the result of the way we are raised, our environment and essentially everything we come into contact with in our lifetime. Those following a nature viewpoint believe everything we are is a result of biology.

Evolutionary scientists believed in the nature side of the debate as did those following biological theories such as the one ...

The United States of America (USA) has a big problem with obesity. According to statistics by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than a third of the US adult population (34.9% or 78.6 million) is obese.

A healthcare center is a crucial pillar in any society or community because of the relief it avails to members of society suffering from bodily pain and suffering. Any community thriving on economic activities, and hence increasing numbers of the population, calls for an expansion of the associated health facilities so as to adequately offer health services, including orthopedic services, to all members of that society that may require it. Minimal delay is a crucial factor that is factored in considering any expansion plans for such a facility. This is important because of the fact that human life is very sensitive, and ...

Introduction

Gender identity acts as an aspect of self-concept, which gives a person the sense of being either a male or a female. The gender role affects gender identity, which is the outward manifestation and not necessarily the child’s sex at birth (Rathus, Nevid & Fichner-Rathus, 2005). It is possible for a child to have a hindered gender identity at the time of birth caused by hormonal errors during development stage. Hormonal errors lead to conflict between the inner sexual self and physical sexual genitalia. As early as 18 months, the children become aware of their anatomic sex and there is no confusion whether a ...
