On May 1, 1962, Target's first grand opening was in Roseville, Minn. It was marketed as a "new idea in discount stores. Target differentiates itself from other retail stores by combining many of the best department store features, fashion, quality and service, with the low prices of a discounter.

In the late 1960s, Target expands across the country to the metro areas of St. Louis, Dallas and Houston. The Bullseye logo design is revamped into a more direct, memorable and poignant symbol of the company, what it stands for and offers to all guests everywhere (Target).

...up for. This program is an amazing alternative to incarceration and the juveniles learn better ways to cope with a hard situation through group activities and acting out scenarios. The group also teaches how long term thinking works to help the juvenile keep him or herself out of trouble. Asking juveniles if they thought about what they were doing before they got arrested for a little longer instead of short term thinking, strikes up more thought than sitting in a cell for several hours a day and sleeping. Long term thinking is taught through the program as well as better ways to communicate with others efficiently using the bullseye technique. The way the bullseye technique works is it shows the juvenile why adults do what they do it all boils down to the fact that they care about you and that's why they make the decisions they do. As the bullseye gets smaller juveniles discover the real reason a decision was made. This extinguishes the juveniles anger and allows them to understand and think more like an adult. Methods of better communication help the juveniles understand where they went wrong while talking to adults and the skills learned may even better their relationship with their guardian. A better understanding of long term thinking helps keep them out of trouble by making them think for a minute every time they have an impulse to do something they are prohibited to do. The youth group provides a safe learning environment and teaches valuable life and social skills...

Freedom from the chains of marriage that are bound so tight even after freed, the pain still lingers. Child marriage. Every year, millions of girls around the world become brides before the age of 18. That means 28 girls every minute. 1 every 2 seconds. This issue not only affects girl, but young boys too. But who suffers the most? The girl. Her education, and not only her physical, but her mental health becomes as targeted as a bullseye. We will not stand for this. We will not let this continue. This is the time for change. Change will come when the words “I do” does not pick them up and drag them from the playground to lying in the delivery room of a hospital. Change will come when marriage, a subject so empty, is not empty any longer. Change will come. We will make it come. We will make it come by helping families that are poverty-stricken. The families that turn their heads to child marriage in order to gain the dowry that is expected upon marriage. Though there is price that must be paid. Your daughters happiness.
