mmmmm dd, yyyy (Dimson, 2015) (Explore adidas, n.d.) Both advertisements are just showing the product and nothing else but their elements are making different appeals to customers. Nike is showing a strange looking model where the sport is not clear. The effect is to look into the ad closer to find out for what sport is the shoe. This is a strong catch-on for any sports shoe customer. It challenges the imagination and is invoking a challenge to the viewer. The other appeal is it is invoking science when it has the word ‘gravity’ boldly emblazoned. The message connotes ...

Identity has become an unavoidable part of people’s lives. Our identities have become our vectors and are defined by what we do and the reasons behind the acts. As much as people may want to believe that their identity is irrelevant, in reality, they often affect the way other people perceive them. There are many aspects of one’s identity. Therefore, every action that a person takes can have different meanings and implications to different people and thus people have become concerned about shaping their identities. Shaping and defending our identities has become more real to us than ...

Rock and roll began to emerge shortly after the Second World War somewhere in the mashup of cultures and peoples that comprise the American South. It is a hybrid form whose mixed heritage is marked by poor blacks singing Delta blues, hillbilly descendants of Scots-Irish immigrants, working-class factory heroes, Christian country folk, and urban teens crooning a cappella on street corners. Its journey of 70 or so years has taken it from the margins of society to the center of today’s multi-billion dollar global music industry. Its course can be charted by examining a select handful of the ...

There are a number of lessons that one must learn as one goes through life. But the lesson of attempting to survive through the racial discrimination in the south is one lesson that is most valuable to those who lived in that era. Many blacks can now relate to the racial challenge that Jefferson face in Louisiana in 1948. Like many other blacks during the 1940’s, Jefferson faces death for a murder. Of course the laws during the period did not require much proof to convict a black man as much of the stories of the past reveal ...

Description of the Advertisement The advertisement is one among a series of 1950s print advertisements for Marlboro . The specific advertisement contains the following message: “Before you scold me Mom maybe you’d better light up a Marlboro” . The focal point is a photograph of a male baby, wearing a hat (supposedly his mother’s hat since it contains fragments of a ribbon), with no shirt on, and his first seems to be imploring.

One of the concepts I learnt of the course is on marketing strategies. Marketing strategies are vital to the development of a particular company. The marketing strategies are significant as they lead to the company increasing its sales and achieving viable competitive advantage compared to other competitors in the market (Quinn, 2007). The marketing strategies, in this case, comprise the entire long and the short-term activities in the marketing field. For a product to do well in the market, the marketing strategies should be emulated with the aim of making it the best. Furniture refurbishment, for instance, is a growing industry because ...

Distinctively, a group of individuals based in London intends to invest into vintage cars and art pictures. The highlighted business necessitates myriad clarifications with regards to the investment. Essentially, the suggested business is majorly embattled with limited funds. The paper endeavors to establish whether to raise funds from a developed country or ...

James Baldwin is best known for his novels, short stories and essays. Most of his work revolves around the themes of discrimination towards blacks and homosexuals. Most of his work is considered to be at least somewhat autobiographical because a reader can often detect the traces of his own past torture and dilemmas. The loneliness and the suffering from all the taunts which he faced all his life are reflected in his writings.

Baldwin was born in Harlem in August 1924. His mother was Emma Berdis Jones, who happened to be single and poor at the time. No one never ...

Liam Neeson’s ‘Carriages Belong in Central Park’ is an article, which addresses horse-drawing carriage business in the Central Park. The author notes that such an activity has existed over the centuries, and sees no harm about it. However, Mayor Bill de Blasio intends to eradicate the activity. His reason for this step is that the industry was inhumane, and as a result, he suggested that he would replace the horse-drawn carriages with vintage cabs. Neeson had as his main aim the urge to argue against such abolishment, for he saw no reason for the horses to be banned for ...

Introduction

The book Moonwalk by Susan Powers has categorically portrayed the subject of bodies and identities in all manner of sense.

Photography became the avant-garde of the early twentieth century art not only in the United States but to the whole world as well. Photographers and artists often incorporate several themes inspired ...

Crimes are rampant today and laws have been implicated to prevent crime and impose regulations in a nation. Many laws have been reformed from brutal tortures to a lighter punishment which is imprisoning the law breakers. Even if this is more humane than the previous punishments, prison is still criticized by many. Michel Foucault was one who criticized imprisonment in his book ‘Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison’. He discusses the disciplinary power and its difference from the sovereign power of the state. In his book, he discusses a prison, Panopticon, of Illinois State Penitentiary. His idea was adopted in ...

The novelist Claire Messud promoted The Woman Upstairs, in which the protagonist is a woman of 42 years who rebels against the role of a nice girl which society has given her. Readers expectations with The Woman Upstairs were at a height had not reached, or Edmund Hillary reached Messud dreams not even muss.

It is a reading over appearance and reality, disappointment and ...

“The Cask of Amontillado” is a story of revenge told in the first-person point of view. Montresor, the killer, narrates in detail the crime he committed fifty years ago against Fortunato for “insulting” him. It was apparent that Fortunato invested a great amount of time in plotting his revenge, but it was unclear why after fifty years, he was finally telling the story that no one ever found out. This is the first hint to the complexities of the character of Montresor which, as the story progresses, contradicted then interestingly intertwined with that of Fortunato’s that in the end it ...

Classic cars, in other words, an antique car or a vintage car, is one that exists from the early years of 1919 and 1930. These cars are old fashioned and very different to the cars that exist in the world today. Since these cars dawned over the world between the peaceful period that existed before World War2 and after World War 1, these cars are rare to find and have valuable history inside them. Classic cars are not only about what they look like and how smooth they are while someone drives them. These cars are more like an ...

It has been said that there is “no reason why we cannot link facts and theories across disciplines and create a common groundwork of explanation.” What this statement is implying is that there should be no impediment to making “common” knowledge more common, and for advanced, high-level thinking to be a teachable skill available to all, regardless of culture, language, or economic standing. While the concept being referred to in this statement certainly sounds like an ideal state of being, it may also be a sweeping generalization of what is actually a more complex issue. One might ask, in response to this statement, ...

Toni Morrison’s Sula and Jamaica Kincaid’s “Girl” are two texts that explore the African-American woman’s quest for sexual and social autonomy, in that both texts contend that the African-American woman’s construction of a sexual identity is primarily shaped by the women who raise her, as well as societal expectations and traditions. The process by which an African-American mother or mother figure teaches a young African-American female about sexuality is often laden with religious indoctrination, accusations of licentiousness, personal anecdotes about male duplicitousness, and fearful warnings about chastity. Both texts illustrate how the enforced standards and multiple instructions ...

Ideological Position of Contemporary Culture as Related by Eggers, Foer, and Morrison

Definitive conclusions regarding contemporary literature and the ideological position it takes have yet to be conclusively drawn. What is clear is that writers of the twenty-first century have departed greatly from the predecessors of the previous century in terms of their place within the culture and understanding of it. While difficult to make broad statements about American literature as a whole due to its diversity, it is possible to closely analyze three popular works and connect similarities, which can then be used to make broader statements about the culture as a whole. Three books that have been widely printed and sold ...

Vintage Advert

Introduction The media plays a key role within the society; one of the key roles of the media both print and broadcast media is advertising.

Since the media is a profit generation business, there is no much reviewing of what is being advertised , any person with the financial power can make ...

Introduction

In my opinion, I believe that the author began the story with the tale of “no name woman” because he wanted to arouse the audience attention and interest to the plight of women. This would capture the most intended psychological state that would be most poignant for the impartation of his ideas of suppression and oppressive tendencies that women encounter on their day to day basis. Equally, the author only highlighted one of the many instances where the cultural practices of most immigrants would be at war with the independent will of individuals as upheld and forestalled in ...

The story narrated by of Buscape proves the statement that anyone can change his or her fate. A boy who was destined to be a gangster since he saw only violence and injustice all his life discovered that he could see another side of life. He was the only one who avoided being dragged down into criminal affairs and corruption unlikely to the majority of other characters of the novel. Thus, his religious, historical, and social background do not influence his dream to become a photographer instead of being a gangster (Meirelles 24). However, Buscape was the only one who was ...

Mass media is a very powerful tool that helps communicate ideas and information to a larger audience. With the advent of technology and its constant progress, people from all parts of the world gained access to mass media and was able to subscribe to it every minute of the day.

Salman Rushdie's "The Courter", qualifies as an example of a story that displays its themes using some kind of popular culture references as well as subjects of race, identity, culture and family. From reading the story, the researcher can conclude that it could be popular culture in some ways because it is a story that appears to address the events and the emotional state of characters during the British rule. However, the researcher believes that “The Courter,” has a different direction by describing more regarding the struggle of the storyteller’s cultural identity among his British citizenship and his Indian identity. With ...

In philosophy, the absurd describes the inability to find a meaning in life, and all people who try to find purpose in their lives will eventually fail. Life itself is not absurd, but when people are faced with existential questions, they inevitably face absurdity. In response, they can commit suicide, turn to religion for answers, or accept life and its absurdity as it is. Albert Camus claims suicide and recovery are the methods of dealing with the absurd once existential questions cause people to encounter it (“The myth of Sisyphus and other essays” 12). Other philosophers also agree with ...

The holocaust is one of the most studied events of the 20th Century. While genocide certainly happens over and over again in the course of human history, this is probably because it rarely ends up so industrialized. While we, as humans, are hardwired to treat the “other” as an enemy, never in the course of human history has it been done in such an organized and large scale manner. But it did not start out leading directly to the gas chambers at Auschwitz, Sobibor, Majdanek, Chelmno, Treblinka and Belzec. Indeed, the evolution of the holocaust would lead to differentiation ...
