...ENGL 103.G35 Cultural Analysis Cover Girl has always been a popular make-up company, and since they sell make-up, their main target is undoubtedly woman. In the new Cover Girl Nature Luxe commercial, they target women, especially in their teens, in multiple ways. They use a celebrity that is popular for that age group; she is wearing glamorous, sparkly dresses, she’s dancing nonstop and having fun, and they try to make the audience “join the movement.” Figure 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMt6TFO0zn4 Figure 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMt6TFO0zn4 The advertisement starts out right away with the popular music artist Taylor Swift as the only person in the entire commercial. The company makes a big emphasis on this and even puts her name in the commercial underneath the company name, seen in Figure 1, as if to highlight the fact that she’s in the commercial and wearing their product, even though it’s very clear who it is to the majority of the population. Cover Girl chose Taylor Swift to be the star of their commercial for a few reasons. They are targeting teenage girls, and Taylor is in that age range herself. She’s also extremely successful in her career and is an attractive young woman that a lot of girls wish they could look like or just be. By using Taylor Swift when she has all these qualities, it sends out a message to the watchers that if you use their product, you’ll be able to be like Taylor Swift.

...However, children often see violence on television programs such as action movies and cartoons, which can consciously or unconsciously damage them. These findings challenge the work of earlier researchers, who attended to assume that television can make you smarter. In her article, “Thinking Outside the Idiot Box”, Stevens keeps up that “…children are fresh meat for the advertising industry” (298). Easy, Breezy, Beautiful Cover girl! That is a line from the infamous makeup line used by celebrities such as Rihanna, Drew Barrymore, and Taylor Swift. Lots of young girls see those commercials and think to themselves that they are not pretty enough, or skinny enough because what the commercials display. When people see magazine covers, it is usually someone that has flawless skin and has the “perfect” body. Would one want their young developing daughter trying to find herself to feel self-conscious because she does not have that peculiar look? Continuing with, the mass media and television have a huge impact on children. There are educational shows that are televised, but there are other ways you can stimulate the brain, such as puzzles, play dough, board...

...Jim sighed as he entered the house and dropped his heavy bag, sprinkled with April rain, onto the shaggy orange carpet. He rolled his shoulders in relief and stretched his feet. Wood panelling coursed the interior of the house, hugging the walls as if it was afraid of being caught. Jim had been assigned by his mother to paint the old walls a “vibrant color,” but had never gotten around to it, per usual. He did not seem to think that eggplant purple, or “mauve” walls, as his mother preferred to identify it, would go well with the rest of the house. Beige furniture, aside from Mr. Abernathy’s recliner, an assortment of green and orange carpeting, and pale yellow floor tiles arranged in an obnoxious pattern were not particularly easy to coordinate. The tiles had been laid by Mr. Abernathy himself many years ago because he refused to hire anyone to do a job he could potentially handle himself. The tiles were strewn about in an almost neat pattern with glue seeping...

...Principles of Marketing T/Thurs Chapter 6 Activities: 1. The three television commercials designed to persuade buyers to view the products being advertised as shopping items would have to be 1) Abercrombie & Fitch clothing line, 2) Samsung for their 3D LED TV, and 3) CoverGirl makeup. The similarities for all three of these commercials are to sell their product to the consumers, entice consumers to buy their product, and have the consumers feel as if they need the product. Also, I would have to say that all three commercials are clever, effectively marketed. Each of the TV commercials is less or a little more than 30 seconds which depends on how much the company willing to pay for their product’s exposure. Each commercial has a target market they want to reach and the success of the product depends on the consumers buying their product. The three brands throughout the years have shown brand loyalty and I believe that it is what keeps them so successful and current. I want to start off talking about Abercrombie & Fitch; they are never out of the limelight. I would have to say they are the most controversial successful retail company that continues to push the envelope when they run commercials or poster ads. I truly believe that there isn’t any bad publicity for this company “controversy sells.” The market demographics are tailored to the young teenagers who have the disposable income to spend their money or have a say where they want their parents to spend...

...Journal Two: Identifying Conflict in Two Texts Read About Journals in ENG125: Introduction to Literature for more information about the purpose and expectations for journals. This week, you continue writing your journal entries. This journal entry is designed to help you document ideas about conflicts in literature, which will contribute to the information required for the Week Three Draft and the Week Five Literary Analysis. Recognizing conflict is essential to understanding the various commentaries literature can provide. In Journal One, you identified conflict as it might appear in our everyday world and from other sources. Now, consider the following definition of conflict and how it relates to literature from the textbook or the story/poetry links provided under the requirements for the Literary Analysis: Conflict is opposing actions, ideas, and decisions that hold a plot together...the struggle that shapes the plot in a story. Chapters 1-7 of our text contain a number of stories and poems, each of which rely on at least one conflict. Choose two of this week’s assigned literary works and write about the conflicts presented in each of them. In 250 to 500 words Individual versus Society --- “Still she had come down the road toward the big white church alone. Just herself, an old forgetful woman, nearly blind with age” (para 3.1,2) --- appears to be the main conflict in Alice Walker’s narrative ironically, yet metaphorically named "The Welcome Table”.

...Bali & Java Resorts, Retreats and Pool Villas ElEgant REsoRts & Villas of Bali The island of the gods The island of Bali is among the most popular stops in Indonesia - the island’s people, culture, rhythmic dances, volcanoes, sculptured rice paddies, spectacular beaches, and beautiful scenery, combined with a stunning array of accommodations, make it a delectable place to visit. The Balinese dedicate themselves to a vibrant and elaborate set of beliefs and an intriguing culture. Scores of sacred holidays and festivals are celebrated each year with ritual and pageantry. Ubiquitous palmleaf offertory plates are replenished daily with flowers and fruit to honour the deities and placate evil spirits. Thousands of temples and altars dot the fertile landscape, rising from rice terraces and family compounds in rural hamlets that have remained mostly unchanged for a thousand years or more. Humble caretakers for the gods, the Balinese have also been blessed with the inherently unselfish gift of hospitality. So Bali is an obvious choice for the plethora of heavenly hideaways that the island has to offer. The name “Ubud” comes from a word that means “medicine” the area is well-known amongst locals for the medicinal plants which grow there and for Como to locate two well-being resorts there makes perfect sense. When to go Bali has a tropical climate with a year round average temperature of 31 degrees Celsius. Bali has two seasons; the dry season that officially runs from...

...Over the years I have developed a distaste for the spectacle of joie de vivre, the knack of knowing how to live. Not that I disapprove of all hearty enjoyment of life. A flushed sense of happiness can overtake a person anywhere, and one is no more to blame for it than the Asiatic flu or a sudden benevolent change in the weather (which is often joy's immediate cause). No, what rankles me is the stylization of this private condition into a bullying social ritual. The French, who have elevated the picnic to their highest civilized rite, are probably most responsible for promoting this smugly upbeat, flaunting style. It took the French genius for formalizing the informal to bring sticky sacramental sanctity to the baguette, wine and cheese. A pure image of sleeveless joie de vivre Sundays can also be found in Renoir's paintings. Weekend satyrs dance and wink; leisure takes on a bohemian stripe. A decent writer, Henry Miller, caught the French malady and ran back to tell us of pissoirs in the Paris streets (why this should have impressed him so, I've never figured out). But if you want a double dose of joie de vivre, you need to consult a later, hence more stylized version of the French myth of pagan happiness: those Family of Man photographs of endlessly kissing lovers, snapped by Doisneau and Boubat, not to mention Cartier-Bresson's icon of the proud tyke carrying bottles of wine. If CartierBresson and his disciples are excellent photographers for all that, it is...
