...The Real California Cheese case study 1/ Analyse the “Happy Cows” campaign that was developed for the California Milk Advisory Board to promote Real California Cheese from an integrated marketing communications perspective. Why do you think the campaign has been so successful? The Happy Cows campaign developed by the CMAB contributed to create a distinct identity that is the focal point of their integrated marketing communications program. This campaign has been successful because it is really customer-orientated, using emotions and humour to reach customers. Indeed customers can easily remember the brand because it puts them in a good mood and leaves a positive image. Moreover, with humour, the campaign is more accessible and the company can reach a larger variety of consumers of all ages. Everyone can easily understand the message of the brand. The company succeeded in making creative campaign to create a real brand identity with a combination of many factors, including their name, logo, as well as their image or associations: the cow that comes to mind when consumers think about them. The use of the cow in the campaign helps to tell how California cheese is better because it comes from contented cows The success of the TV commercials has allowed the company to extend their campaign on other medias such as radio, billboard and Internet. As people had already images of the cows in their head they were able to visualize when listening to 60 second...

...Memory, Theories on Language Student ID: 21923613 July 12, 2015 Essay Assignment Exam number: 250391 Language learning from what I’ve read starts when you are about a year old. Learning theory approach to language development suggest that “Language acquisition follows the principles of reinforcement and conditioning.” They give one example in our textbook on page 232 about a mother praising her baby for saying “mama” which means the baby is more likely to continue saying it. Once the baby gets older the learning theory approach to acquisition no longer applies, because it has an issue with grammar. A child that might say “Why he walks away?” could be understood by the listeners around so it makes the theory harder to explain. So we might as well jump to our next topic in language acquisition, which is an innate process by nativist Noam Chomsky. Chomsky believed that people shared something called universal grammar. He also suggested the language acquisition device, it’s a neural system of the brain to help the understanding of language. There is also clear evidence from scientist who have helped this innate process they have researched. They have discovered that there are specific places in the brain that contribute to learning languages, and there are certain areas in the mouth and throat that help with new speech. There is also some research on how some languages need a different tone in speech such as pitch to make a words mean different things such as Chinese. In...

...ICT and Legislations In this essay, I am going to analyse current issues and developments in communication and information technology, to include digital and mobile technology and the internet. Where would we be today without technology? Personally, I would be lost, from using my I-phone or setting my alarm to using my docking station for my music. My TV in my bedroom has chrome cast, which keeps my little man safe and occupied whilst mummy is getting ready. It transforms any television in to a smart television that means you can access net flicks or you tube. My son watches Blippi, which provides educational videos for toddlers. It also helps me keep my life simple, for example using my Bank of Ireland app. I can check my balance and my direct debits without having to request a statement or going to the bank. In the past, I used the weather app to scrutinize the weather forecast, pick the best beach to go windsurfing based on the conditions. Now because I am an Irish mammy I use it for reasons that are more important i.e. when is it a good time to hang out the washing. The developments in communication technology also mean we can broadcast information to a wide audience all over the world in a short period. This is very useful for advertisements, conveying important messages and updating citizens on important news. Communications technology has helped us in many ways in our public and private lives. Businesses now use social media for advertising and marketing rather...

...The Benefits of Playing Video Games Isabela Granic, Adam Lobel, and Rutger C. M. E. Engels Radboud University Nijmegen Video games are a ubiquitous part of almost all children’s and adolescents’ lives, with 97% playing for at least one hour per day in the United States. The vast majority of research by psychologists on the effects of “gaming” has been on its negative impact: the potential harm related to violence, addiction, and depression. We recognize the value of that research; however, we argue that a more balanced perspective is needed, one that considers not only the possible negative effects but also the benefits of playing these games. Considering these potential benefits is important, in part, because the nature of these games has changed dramatically in the last decade, becoming increasingly complex, diverse, realistic, and social in nature. A small but significant body of research has begun to emerge, mostly in the last five years, documenting these benefits. In this article, we summarize the research on the positive effects of playing video games, focusing on four main domains: cognitive, motivational, emotional, and social. By integrating insights from developmental, positive, and social psychology, as well as media psychology, we propose some candidate mechanisms by which playing video games may foster real-world psychosocial benefits. Our aim is to provide strong enough evidence and a theoretical rationale to inspire new programs of research on the largely unexplored...

...of excellence. Yet, many students have little or no opportunity to learning arts as arts is devalued as a core element in the curriculum. Education, without arts, is an incomplete education that fails to develop the full potential of individuals, communities and societies. Hence arts are of great importance in the students’ learning experiences and should hold a place in education. Arts may no longer hold a place in education because some parents oppose arts as part of their child’s critical learning. Parents feel that arts do not provide their children with essential learning experience; rather, taking up time to learn the arts will be at the expense of their academic performance and results. They also believe that arts cannot be used to make a decent living as they cannot find good jobs through arts. However, the creative sector of the economy has grown in significance in recent years, as arts are a magnet for a skilled and creative workforce that all countries require to compete in a global economy. Arts can help compete in the high-stakes race to attract new businesses and generate money from such economic activities. Architects and interior designers are professions that also require knowledge and art. Thus it is not true that people will not be able to get a decent job of bright future by studying art. Rather, it allows individuals to gain an advantage when competing in the global community. Arts hold a place in education as it is pivotal in helping students to develop...

...THE IMPACT OF NON-WORK ACTIVITIES IN WORK BEHAVIOUR PROBLEM Nowadays, non-work activities are demanding increased attention, because people desire a career that leaves them with time and energy to devote to work and life demands.

...will look at how it should be taught in primary schools. The key stage I have chosen to examine is lower key stage two. Lower key stage two consists of children in Year 3 (aged 7-8) and Year 4 (8-9). The report will examine the National Curriculum and how teaching of Science is defined by them. The National Curriculum (2014 p.155) requires children of this age phase to work scientifically. This would namely be looking at encouraging children to ask their own questions, how to set up a practical investigation, gathering the results through numerous graphs/charts (recording data) comparing and analysing what makes a fair test, predicting what the outcome may be (with independent and dependant variables), how to make observations based on these findings, identifying and comparing what they predicted as opposed to what happened, and lastly being able to answer questions using scientific terminology and knowledge. By using various literature and documentation, this report will look at how teachers can teach Science but at the same time be using the National Curriculum as a guideline. Review of teaching Working Scientifically Ofsted (2013) states that the new National Curriculum for 2014 explains the reasoning for teaching Science. It states that pupils should be encouraged to use Science to explain occurrence, prediction and analyse why something has happened. Wilcox, Kruse and Clough explain ‘Science Inquiry’ as it was previously referred to, working through enquiry through pedagogical...
