...Dora the Explorer is basically a fun TV show for kids ages 6 and under but recently I just found out that many HHS students watch this show occasionally. This is not shocking to me, because after all it’s the second favorite show I like to watch on Nickelodeon (SpongeBob being the first). To anybody who is not familiar with the show (which is a shame if you don’t), Dora the Explorer is an adventure based story for kids. The main character, Dora with her friend Boots, goes on a mission in every episode to help someone or find something. She asks viewers (usually little kids) at home for help and clues to get to her destination and also gets help from her friends, the Map and Backpack. On her mission, she teaches viewers everyday Spanish words and some short phrases. Dora is seen as a hero in the eyes of her viewers as she walk through dangerous woods with her best friend Boots. But as we all know, every hero as a villain. Well this nice 8 year old girl has one and that will be Swiper. Swiper is a sneaky and mischievous fox that attempts to steal Dora’s items every episode. He sometimes succeed but most of the time he doesn’t (poor Swiper). What makes this show appealing to most HHS students is the storyline of the show. Even when we know the outcome of the story (Dora will always get to where she has to go), we still stay in front of the television till the show concludes. This is because; there is something about Dora that gets people’s attention. Sometime is the song that...

...1. ------------------------------------------------- Dora: An Analysis of a Case of Hysteria From Modernism Lab Essays Jump to: navigation, search Contents[hide] * 1 Hysteria in the Twentieth Century * 2 Summary of Case Study * 3 Critical Receptions and Importance of the Work | | by Alex Gatlin An Analysis of a Case of Hysteria (1905), better known simply as “Dora,” is a case study written by the neurologist and founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, which details the condition and treatment of Ida Bauer, a woman diagnosed with hysteria and given the pseudonym “Dora." One of Freud’s most famous works, the Dora case study is typically praised for the scientific empiricism of Freud’s method, as well as for its identification of, among others, the phenomenon known as transference. ------------------------------------------------- Hysteria in the Twentieth Century Although no longer a recognized illness, hysteria (specifically female hysteria) was until the mid-twentieth century a common medical diagnosis for extreme emotional excess. Since its earliest diagnoses in ancient Greece, it was deemed an exclusively female condition, which manifested itself in a wide range of symptoms. Freud believed that hysteria stemmed from psychologically traumatic sexual experiences in the patient’s past, or from problems in the patient’s sexual life; thus, it was to be treated typically, although not exclusively, with some sort of genital stimulation. By the twentieth century...

...Colgate Presentation What are the customer demographics? Demographic segmentation is the splitting up of the market in to smaller portions or groups according to age, income, gender, occupation, education, religion and social class. Colgate’s target group for toothpaste is very broad. That’s because most of the people need their product. They segmentate mostly on age differences. They have products for Older people adults and younger people. The group of younger people they divide in the categories 0-2, 2-5, 5-8 and 8-12, these groups they also divide in groups of different genders. For example for the group of 2-5 they make toothbrushes and toothpaste with characters of popular tv programs. For the girls a character like Dora the explorer or Barbie and for the boys an action figure or spongebob. And for the group of 8-12 year olds they make toothpaste to help them get use to the adult toothpaste they are going to use in a couple of years. Also they want to make sure that they remain customers of the company and get so used to Colgate that they will use the toothpaste for the rest of their life. For the adults the big differences in the products are not really based on age differences but on dental problems like yellow teeth or sensitive teeth. The most people who use Colgate are in the same social class or at the same income level. Because Colgate is more expensive then most regular toothpastes people who use Colgate probably have more to...

...Time Warner/Viacom Jose A. Cruz BUSA 202 Principles of Marketing Eric Rios March 1, 2012 In December 31, 28 Viacom, owners of the Nickelodeon television announce they were taking off the air 19 channels that Viacom owns including two of viewers favorite program as Dora the Explorer and Sponge Bob SquarePans. For this Warner began to receive many calls from spectators complaining and threatened that they will switch cable companies’ providers. Time Warner is the second largest cable provider in the United State with approximately 13.3 million subscribers. Viacom is one of the largest providers of cable TV channel programming. The channel arrangement between Viacom and Time Warner is one of dual distribution in that they both offer the same product to consumers. Viacom owns the channels that people were viewing and Time Warner was supplying the consumers with those channels on another cable provider. The intermediaries are the stations that they offer the service and the people doing the negotiations to keep the channels at Time Warner and get Viacom a little more money. The channel conflict is that of a vertical conflict, since Time Warner is below Viacom in this and Viacom has sway over what happens to them. However in this case, Time Warner was able to regain the upper hand by reaching out to its consumers, hoping they made up for what the company itself could not threaten. Therefore, Viacom wanted more money to supply the channels that had millions of viewers, and...

...me. I believe in the principle of appreciating those around you because you never really know how much they are worth to you until you lose them. In sixth grade, I lost a friend. My friend’s name was Loic Jason, he was one of the most generous and loving people I have ever met. Loic was the type of kid who would share his lunch with you, tell you jokes and just talk about anything and everything. But life did not turn out the way it was supposed to. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with cancer. When I heard the news I felt angry, pain and guilt. I felt guilty because I wished I had spent more time with him. Maybe I would’ve known that something was wrong with him. It was during a weekend and I was sitting in the living room watching Dora the Explorer when I received a text from my friend. The message said: ‘’Did you hear what happened to Loic?’’ I had no clue what he was talking about so I asked: ‘’what are you talking about?” and he responded with ‘’ Loic passed away’’. I did not believe him, I could not believe him. I was in shock. He had just told me that a friend passed away via text. I started contacting all of my friends; I was torn in between denial and reality. How could a person so young, loving and caring with a bright future just disappear without saying goodbye? Then the ‘’what if’s’’ thoughts came along with the pain; what if I had talked to him more often? What if I had just sat with him on the bench and simply asked him ‘’Hey, how are you? ‘’ I wish...

...college; Mrs. Campos, the mother, blindly loved her son, and desired continuing dependency; Mr. Campos, the father, was somewhat absent from the family. There is no father in “A House on the Plains.” It is Earle and his mother, Dora. The Campos family appears conventional, particularly in contrast to Earle and Dora. Earle and Dora’s actions disturb. We discover that they moved out to the plains with life insurance money from the suspicious death of Dora's husband. They adopted orphans and buy a house with the money to start a new life. This life is devoted to Dora’s current vocation: attracting wealthy immigrants to the farm, and, along with Earle, killing them and taking their money. Then they frame Bent, a hired hand, by making it look like he killed Dora and Earle, the children Dora adopted, and the immigrants (Doctorow 246-247). When comparing the families, the Campos family is normal compared to of Dora and Earle. Dora and Earle and the Campos Family are two families in different situations, but when comparing the relationships between sons and mothers in “Landfill” and “A House on the Plain”, Earle and his mother, no matter how disturbing their relationship and actions, exemplify family better than Mrs. Campos and Scoot. In “A House on the Plains”, Dora and Earle are united...

...relationship with Em’ly or Dora, she has a great way of bottling up these feelings and keeping them to herself. Once again, this goes to show readers how strong of a woman and how mature Agnes is over Dora. Agnes remains self-sacrificing throughout the novel as she has loved David this entire time. Soon after the death of Dora, David admits his love for Agnes: Dearest Agnes! Whom I so respect and honor—whom I so devotedly love! When I came here to-day, I thought that nothing could have wrested this confession from me. I thought I could have kept it in my bosom all over lives, till we were old. But, Agnes, if I have indeed any new-born hope that I may ever call you something more than Sister, widely different from Sister!—” (Dickens 866-7) David describes Agnes as his “guide and best support” and continues to profess his love even more by stating: “I went away, dear Agnes, loving you. I stayed away, loving you. I returned home, loving you!” (Dickens 867). Agnes then confesses her secret that she has kept all these years from David: “I have loved you all my life!” (Dickens 868). Agnes was given the opportunity to express her true and utmost emotions to David and she finally opened herself up to him when the timing was...

...was over me. But my soul was three thousand miles away,” (Line 16/17). Upon realizing his mistake, Reuben acknowledges that his true connection was always with Emily. When pursuing other women, he talks about the thoughts of Emily constantly running through his head. He deceives other women when his persistent thoughts of Emily cloud his mind. Reuben’s desire to be loved affects other women, specifically Dora Williams, and the way they view love. Throughout Spoon River Anthology, karma is a major factor in the town which ultimately leads to the demise of many people. Dora Williams is a woman who has a habit of destroying the lives of others. Her greed eventually comes back to bite her. In her epitaph she states, “We went to Rome. He poisoned me, I think,” (Line 20). Dora was heartbroken when Reuben Pantier deceived her. It can later be inferred Dora takes the lives of her many future suitors in order to inherit their fortunes. When Dora grew rich, she married a man by the name of Contessa Navigato. He poisoned her, trying to gain her fortune, and she died nameless. Like Dora, Butch Weldy, a man of many mistakes, has a job at the canning business. His job is to feed the blow-fire, until tragically, one day Butch’s karma blows up in his face. He says, “And my eyes burned crisp like a couple of eggs. For someone left a blow-fire going,” (Lines 13/14). Butch steals from a blind man, and Masters creates irony when the fire blows up in his eyes. It is later revealed that he did not...

Never before, I believe, has anything been written enabling us to see so clearly into the soul of a young girl, belonging to our social and cultural stratum, during the years of puberal development. We are shown how the sentiments pass from the simple egoism of childhood to attain maturity; how the relationships to parents and other members of the family first shape themselves, and how they gradually become more serious and more intimate; how friendships are formed and broken. We are shown the dawn of love, feeling out towards its first objects. Above all, we are shown how the mystery of the sexual life first presses itself vaguely on the attention, and then takes entire possession of the growing intelligence, so that the child suffers under the load of secret knowledge but gradually becomes enabled...
