Discuss how a development in a corporation's societal environment can affect the corporation through its task environment. 3. According to Porter, what factors determine the level of competitive intensity in an industry? Costs Among his factors that affect competitive intensity, Porter mentions a few cost-related factors. These include high fixed costs, high storage costs and low switching costs. When companies invest significantly in fixed costs, they generally compete mightily to sell enough products to cover those costs. High costs of storage prompt companies to compete to make sales quickly. When customers have free mobility to change providers it forces more intense competitive rivalry. Many Firms, Flat Market One of the more obvious reasons for high competitive intensity within an industry is more companies competing. And, the more limited the market available, the more intensely those companies have to compete. Porter noted that especially...

...Aristotelian Appeal with Logos and Ethos to support that women have been used as depended and overly sensual. Dorian Lynskey in his article “Kapow! Attack of the feminist superheroes” argues that women have always been portrayed as a secondary, dependent and overly-sexualized. It is great to see this trend changing after the introduction of superheroes, such as Kamala Khan by Marvel. The author has given multiple points in support of how people have criticized the portrayal of women in the comics. He has given several examples of how the trends are shifting in the stories of the two comic giants namely Marvel and DC Comics. Dorian Lynskey writes on various topics in the Guardian and the Observer. He is the author of the book named “33 Revolutions per Minute: A History of Protest Songs”. Alan Moore’s “Chapter Twelve” of Watchmen is a series of comic books which were published by DC Comics in the year 1987.

She is constantly shown as dependent on the males of the group. She is later seen to be sleeping naked with one of the team members. Through...

...Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics The DC Comics made a name for themselves in 1939 as they were then set up by Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson. During that time its company was known as National Allied by Publications. The initials for the DC Comic books was taken from the Detective Comic series. With that series became Batman. Another line of comic books, known as Action Comics, which had a new super hero named Superman. Over the years these two super heroes became very popular and still two of the most popular super heros to ever appear in comic books and that mad the way for other super heroes. The Golden age was more like a baby boom in comic books. Tones of comics are being produced for the men at war,people all over, which trippled in sales making millions. All comes to and end when the war ends. Super heros "die" when the war ends. In the 1950′s the industry was under attack. Parents of America didn't think the comics were up to standards for children. Either parents were they ripping them up, burning them, or telling thier children to sell thier comics, it was a cultural revolution. The company managed to keep it's success during that time and created some comics about westerns,romance, but it was the recreations of the super heroes which made them so successful in the comic book industry known as the Silver Age. It was during 1965 when the industry introduced a new/old super hero Flash. This character was brought back and "updated" to be placed in more present times...

...Krystal Gladden Professor deLauney ENG 102 05/10/16 The Masked Mask Heroes A costume is meant to mask the true identity of a hero"(2009). But what if the mask is their true identity. In the graphic novel "Watchmen" by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, Moore and Gibbons show how that a few of the vigilantes have a problem with juggling their masked persona and their every day persona. We can see a constant tug of war between who the vigilantes truly see themselves as and what is accepted in their society. We see the pull or hold that each vigilante masked persona has on them on a daily. So, we constantly see how Rorschach and Dan are battling within themselves about who they truly are. Rorschach is one of the first masked heroes we get to meet. We meet Rorschach after the death of another masked hero Edward Blake aka The Comedian. We go throughout most of the graphic novel without knowing the identity of Rorschach or his "real name". We quickly learn that Rorschach is a very black or white type of person, there is no in between with this guy. Rorschach is unapologetic too; he doesn't go by what society sees as bad or good, but off of his own judgment of right or wrong. He is also the only masked hero still fighting crime even though the Keene Act made it illegal to do so. It is not until the end of chapter 5, we get to actually see the human face behind the mask. Rorschach happens to be "The End Is Nigh" guy from earlier chapters, whom "real" name is Walter Joseph Kovacs. We learn...

...Professor English 15 May 2015 Birth of the New American Gods: The Video Game God There are gods, old and new, among us and little do people know they are born by humans. The Video Game god is a new god because people spend time, money, and worship games in a new ways which allows this new god to exist. People can say it’s in the past where gods have been created through worship but the creations of these gods haven’t stop just because people just stop worshipping certain named deities, but only have been forgotten. These gods still live today and are still being created by human beings; in similar ways gods have been created in the past, but people subconsciously do it. A new god that can be seen today in our time can be the Video Game God, and this god has been created by people all over the globe. The Video Game God is a new god that people spent hours, days, even weeks on enjoying the entertainment, influences and effect the god has had on human, and what the god provides to his people. Before proving that there is a Video Game God that exists in the modern world, one needs to understand what a god truly is. After reading Neil Gaiman novel one can grasp a better understanding that religion isn’t needed for a god to exist and that, “Religions are, by definition, metaphors, after all: God is a dream, a hope, a woman, an ironist, a father, a city, a house of many rooms[…]” (Gaiman). In this part of the chapter people can understand how religion isn’t needed and is...

The humans of Earth are slowly being segregated to join either the Avengers or the Justice League. Or at least read the comics and buy the merchandise of one. But only one! Being on Team Marvel or Team DC dictates what movies and television shows you watch, what symbols you wear on your clothes, and even what you dress up as for Halloween. Every few years when a book series or book-turned-movie series temporarily takes over society, a fad is...

...When the word “hero” is first mentioned, it is commonly thought as the kind of hero who is generally male, with a cape that chases and flows behind his back, a skin tight costume, and the mighty strength that he possesses to defeat criminals and villains. These super heroes that are seen in comic books, television shows, and movies always end up with the damsel in distress adoring them or some kind of acknowledgement; they lift their chins up, and chests forward portraying confidence and no struggles or worries when it comes to saving the day. While in reality, true heroes can be ordinary human beings where “saving the day” becomes a risk and where something valuable may get lost. Although heroes receive recognition in response to their success, sacrifice contributes more to heroism because, it portrays selflessness, courage, and it earns a warrior the title of a hero. Sacrifice demonstrates selflessness in a hero. One of the most important traits that characterize a hero is humility. A hero is not self centered and takes care for the good and well being of their people, state, community, or something of importance. On September 11, 2001 during the terrorist attacks in New York, many responders voluntarily sacrificed their lives to rescue others who were in danger. These volunteers were called heroes for risking their lives to help others. Although giving up something valuable like life for someone else’s does not always result in success, their sacrifice still makes them unconditional...

...A hero in today’s society doesn't have to have extraordinary super powers to be considered a “hero”. Just like all things, a hero comes in all shapes and sizes. Heros can range from a firefighter to a homicide detective, or even a random citizen helping the elderly with their groceries. Being a hero isnt about being the strongest or getting the girl, its about helping the less fortunate. Heroic traits include: reliability, adaptability, and leadership. In Marvel’s The Avengers, Captain America, although a fictional character, he is portrayed with traits of everyday heros such as reliability. One of the ways he is extremely reliable is because no matter how hard the situation gets, when push comes to shove, he is always there to help...

... In 1938 Superman made his first appearance in the first of many DC's Action Comics and quickly became a big American favorite. He was portrayed wearing a suit of red, white, and yellow and his dialogue was found in speech bubbles floating above his head. Superman was mentioned in lecture because he shares a striking resemblance with another American favorite, Rosie the Riveter. Rosie the Riveter shows the typical American girl who is ready and willing to show her support for World War II. Rosie is wearing a red polka dotted bandana, a blue work shirt, and also has a speech bubble with the words, "We Can Do It." This resemblance to the Superman comics is almost like a motif. The same occurring color scheme and speech bubbles were popular during that time due to these two famous figures. In lecture the word icon was used in two different meanings. The first meaning referred to modern icons such as Rosie the Riveter, Superman, and even the President of the United States. But the original meaning of the world icon was used by art historians to explain holy or sacred pictures during the middle ages that showed Jesus Christ, his mother Mary, and other Saints. Icon in Greek means picture, and the sacred pictures from the middle ages were revered by worshippers as the gateway to the spiritual world. They were even used to help heal the sick and protect soldiers during battle. These sacred pictures or icons are still very influential in the Greek Orthodox and Russian Orthodox...

...Are we waving goodbye to the superheroes? We all know them, and we all love them. But the era of the superhero movies are maybe coming to an end. Why is that? And will we no longer be looking at buff men and women dressed in slim tights and colourful capes? A dominating and very unique genre of movies saw it’s first light of the day back in the 00’s. It all started with the Batman-movie who was published in 2002 and became a massive success. If we look at the cold facts we can see, that in the list of best selling movies are The Avengers from 2012 and The Dark Night from 2008 present. This is an independent genre, although it’s got a lot in common with the action-genre. In both genres, we have an outstanding hero who saves the day and is unbeatable. But in the action-genre we have heroes like Harry Callahan and John McClane, who comes home at the and of the day and still remains the same hero. Unlike Spiderman and Batman who comes home in the end of the day and becomes a whole other person when they take their masks of. Often, when they get home, the superheroes turn into the opposite of a superhero- someone that you would never expect to save the world. And someone you could identify yourself with. And that is one of the most important parts in a superhero movie, because the hero stays anonymous and that creates an exiting story and a different view on the heroes. These superheroes are also different, because they take care of business by them selves. They do...

...Oral Roberts University SUPERIORITY AND BLURRED LINES: An observation of the themes communicated in major DC Comics storylines Joshua Gallego Philosophy of Science HONR 102 Dr. Ken Weed/Dr. Samuel Thorpe March 13, 2014 Introduction Superheroes are part of an American upbringing. Stories of persons with capabilities that far exceed that of the human race are popular and appealing to our youth and even to many adults. Entertainment in general pervades the American culture, and this specific type of entertainment dealing with superheroes is of considerable size and has been a constant for several decades. Images of Superman, Captain America and many others are immediately recognized when seen. The entertainment value of these fictitious tales has caused the companies that own them to expand into creating computer games and producing movies, which has made them even more visible. It is considered weird if a person does not even know the basic story of these costumed figures. The adventures, stories, and even lives of these fictions have become a part of the American Psyche. Throughout the course of this semester, discussion in the Philosophy of Science class has led to topics such as the paradigms and presuppositions that we approach our world from and the metaphors that we use to communicate ideas and concepts. Such discussion has led to the asking of questions concerning things that we encounter in everyday circumstances. Questions like “What are the presuppositions...

...Jess Jones Persuasive Paper: Marvel vs. DC November 3, 2015 One of the most controversial topics for teenagers and adults alike is the topic of which comic brand is better, Marvel or DC? DC and Marvel fans have been at each other’s throats since the 1950’s. “The battle between DC and Marvel is eternal. First it was in the comic shop, then it was on the Internet and most recently, it’s on the big screen (Lussier).” says Tsujihara. DC characters are better because their status is more realistic and attainable, they are more popular among the children, and DC characters work hard for their strengths and powers and use them for good. There are two categories within DC: the gods, such as Wonder Woman and Superman, and the iconic underdogs, such as Batman and Green Lantern. The gods are from another planet or universe and are normally the ruler’s child. They use their powers to protect their land. The underdogs are the favorite in any story and work the hardest. They are not born with any powers, but they want to help so they make a way. The underdogs are the people we look up to and admire the most. They are good men and/or women whom we strive to be like. Everyone looks up to Bruce Wayne because he is a good guy who wants to turns the bad events in his life into profit for others. Marvel literally has no characters that work for their superhero status. People love Marvel and support it and they wonder why their children do not want to work for what they get. Children start...

...Grant Morrison, famed comic book writer/enthusiast, automatically has extrinsic ethos. This is because he is an internationally famous authority on comics, which is the ideal credibility to have when writing Supergods. Morrison, being well-versed in comics, describes these with such detail and personal-opinion that the reader can’t help but feel they are in the time period. For example Morrison says, “With the world on the verge of war, readers couldn’t get enough of the superheroes, especially in the comic books.” (SG47) Morrison speaks from almost a first person view of what was transpiring. Morrison creates his sense of good moral character through his countless examples and descriptions throughout the novel. “During the years of the Second World War, the superhero concept spread like wildfire, but then died as rapidly and mysteriously as it had begun. Mass popular interest dwindled sharply after 1945…” (SG52) Morrison uses a myriad of examples and facts which support the fact that he is well informed on the subject. He establishes his knowledge constantly, and the way in which Morrison describes these scenes sets up his intrinsic ethos. Morrison’s intrinsic ethos was decidedly apparent in chapter four. Morrison states, “The race to create superheroes with fresh gimmicks crashed headlong into one spectacular dead end with the Red Bee, the crime fighting persona of a man named Rick Raleigh.” (SG47) Morrison uses words like “crashed” next to words like “spectacular” which displays...
