Introduction

The desire to conform to the norms is what makes the foundation of a civilized society. Social order, for instance, is a desired attribute that is founded on established written and unwritten rules that are being observed by most people within a society. Deviation from these established rules is considered as undesirable and people who deviate are considered as having abnormal qualities or malfunctioning (Merton, 2002, p. 672). There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior. This deviation has captured the interest of many social scientists and have been ...

Introduction

According to Andersen and Taylor (2008), "through gender socialization, men and women learn the expectations associated with their sex" (305). Speaking from the perspective of my own upbringing, I consider play, clothes, fairy tales, schooling and mass media to be the major socializing agents in my childhood. Obviously, the fundamental source of this process are parents, who encourage children to play with particular toys, choose clothes that they consider to be appropriate for their children, and educate children by means of fairy tales. Speaking within the context of toys, as on the fundamental socializing agents, the first thing that ...

My earliest childhood memories are mostly devoid of color, except for one. Pink. That was what I was surrounded with as a child. That was the color of my first notebook, my schoolbag, and my pencil case. The color pink was something that was to determine the course of my life to come. A part of this present notion dates back to antiquity, men have been called hunters and women have been assigned the role of homemakers. Apparently, Walt Disney seems to agree to it. Father's hunting in the forest, mother's cooking in the home is a rhyming tune ...

I visited the Al Ahdy Orphanage (Cairo, Egypt) on June 13th, 2016. That was my first visit to the orphanage, and on the night before it I could barely sleep. I was worried, afraid of being late, and I did not know what exactly I was expected to do there, how to do it, whether the children will accept me, and so on. After all, it was necessary to find a common language with the kids. It was very exciting and scary. My friend Mohamed Zidan, who is a famous professional football player, joined me during this visit. When ...

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 ...

Bandura discovered the children would mimic, or repeat the behaviors they observed. On one hand, ...

PART A- Operant Conditioning Theory

Operant conditioning is a theory on behaviorism that was formulated by behavioral psychologist, B.F. Skinner. It focuses on an individual's changes in observable behavior. According to B.F. Skinner, once a behavior is followed by reinforcement, it is more likely to be repeated; however, if it is followed by punishment then it is not likely to be repeated (Plotnik, R., & Kouyoumdjian, 2014). Bobby is a seven-year old child who is used to getting gifts from his parents every now and then right from a tender age. Every time his mother decides to go to the mall, she takes him with ...

Competitive capabilities are goals set by an organization to give guidance in decision making, while competitive capabilities are forces that an organization has over its competitors, to completely satisfy their customers.

Behavioral interventions can be grouped as either antecedent-based interventions (ABI) or consequence-based interventions (CBI). CBI is a group of practices in which the problem behaviors are addressed by manipulating the reinforcement or punishment stimuli following an observed behavior, whereas ABI refers to a group of behavioral interventions that are concerned with the modification of environmental factors that are believed to precede problem behaviors (Tullis, Cannella-Malone, & Payne, 2015). Therefore, ABI strategies are implemented before the problem behavior occurs, so their unique quality is the possibility of problem behavior prevention, which makes the behavioral change easier to maintain compared to results ...

Central Issue:

The question to be answered is how Mattel should respond from a strategic standpoint in light of a product recall that involved unsafe toys that were made in China. While the use of offshoring of labor is pervasive in the industry that Mattel works in, there are indeed other options and having “tainted” toys and other products that are used primarily, if not solely, by children is a huge problem for Mattel from a reputation and liability standpoint.

Recommended Course of Action:

For young children, the play environment is like their “university”, although they do not sense the significance, because they are usually enjoying themselves at play. Playing with toys is their “major” in the early years of their life, for with their toys, and their imagination, they play and learn. Even more importantly, it has been said that “Play is the mechanism by which children learn—how they experience their world, practice new skills, and internalize new ideas—and is therefore the essential ‘work of children’ [according to teacher and author Vivian Paley]” (Guyton, 2011). Therefore, the learning environment of ...

Recommendations

In regards to the recalls as conducted by the Mattel Inc. in 2007, significant recommendations are necessary not only to once again boost the sales of the company but also for the reaffirmation of the good rapport that had initially been created between the firm and its clients both locally and abroad.
