...the seminar which will be in use for all my subjects, I also have figured out how to do finish all my assignments on time, and last but not the least just some challenges I am trying to overcome. Last week on Thursday on the 3rd of September, a lady from the SCF library came in to talk to the class. I learned a couple things from her. I already knew coming in how citations are very critical in college but I did not know how to cite properly. The staff are experts when it comes to that, they are willing to help us cite properly. Another thing I found very helpful is that we already have $5 dollars in our account that we can use for free printing, I thought that was pretty nice of the school to do that. Mostly I was very intrigued about the Data Base on their website. It is very helpful for any kind of research papers, whether it is English, Science, or even History. The thing that is really cool about the database is that they are ALL reliable sources. I actually already used it a few days ago for my English paper and it definitely saved me a lot of time. Taking 6 subjects all at once equals tons of endless homework. I was pretty stressed out the first week of school because I kept thinking to myself that it is IMPOSSIBLE to finish all of the assignments on time. So my first step was purchasing a huge agenda. What I did was make a checklist under each subject of each day and my rule it to finish it no more than 2 days. Since there is so much free time being in college, I spend...

...Currently, I approach weekly course reading material in a fairly unconventional way. My weekdays are usually incredibly hectic between my job of working with my clients and my day to day personal life with my children, so finding any quality reading time is hard during the day time hours. I generally have all reading material downloaded to my laptop in advance as we all should so I can get in a bit of reading time during my break time and my clients nap time. The problem with this is, even though it is quiet and my break time, there is still quite a bit of activity going on around me having to deal with small odds and ends, breaking any concentration I have and understanding of the text. I do get a small amount of time in peace when I get home and right before the kids get home after school in which I use to get in some reading and study time. This time is definitely quality time as my concentration is at its greatest and I can get something done. The night hours, usually after dinner, is where things have been really difficult as this is the time where the bulk of my study and reading time is. Thankfully my fiancée has begun to rectify this problem for me (when he is home from work himself) by keeping the kids busy with various things and away from me during this time so I can actually get quite a bit done in peace and...

...Assignment #1 Student: Ximena N. Castillo Course Name: MAR 1011. Principles of Marketing Instructor: Osvaldo J. Sanchez Describe the two philosophies regarding what principle should guide companies and marketing managers on issues of ethics and social responsibility. To describe the two philosophies regarding what principles should guide companies and their marketing managers and issues of ethics and social responsibility is to first understand what is ethics in business and socially responsible marketing. One philosophy believes that the free market and the legal system should decide such issues of ethics in social responsibility. The American Marketing Association has created a statement of ethics that governs marketer’s actions. The introduction to the statement basically as a whole state that the values represent a collection of ideas of desirable and morally correct conduct. These values that are outlined in said document are to be utilized as the standard by which individuals should measure their own actions and those of other included marketers and representatives. These values are to assist in the best practices when transacting business with the public and all parties involved. There are six ethical values the marketers expected to uphold: 1. Honesty- This means being upfront and forthright in dealings with the public and offering value and integrity. 2. Responsibility- This means, willing to accept the consequences of the marketing practices and...

...Laura Tackitt EDHE 105 (Section113) Journal Entry #1 My First Week at Ole Miss Moving to college is such a whirlwind of emotions. Students are anxious, excited, happy, sad, and so, so very confused. My first week at Ole Miss was no exception to this. There were things about my first week that I was completely not expecting, things that did not surprise me at all, and things that have been very rewarding. First, multiple things about my first week of college surprised me. One of these things was that the days do not go by nearly as slowly as I thought they would, but the nights do. In high school, I was at school from 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. on any given day, and no matter what, the time seemed to go unbearably slow. Second, there were several things about college that met my expectations exactly. For example, going into college I figured that there was going to be a very large amount of homework in comparison to high school. I was definitely correct about this. In high school, it was not too difficult to get by with minimal effort and attention paid in class. However, my first week at Ole Miss showed me that college indeed does require much effort and actually doing the readings from the textbook that you are assigned. I do not have a problem with doing my homework, it is just something that I have observed and expected before I started college. There are many things about college that were not at all surprising to...

...A person’s first week at college is one of the most significant transition periods in their life. It is ultimately one of the most surprising, frightening, and enjoyable experiences they will have. My first week at NDSU was no exception to this. There were things about my first week that I was completely not expecting, things that didn’t surprise me at all, and things that have been very rewarding. First, multiple things about my first week of college surprised me. One of these things was that the days don’t go by nearly as slowly as I thought they would. In high school, I was at school from 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. on any given day, and no matter what, the time seemed to go unbearably slow. I thought that I would be experiencing the same feeling of the day dragging on in college. Because I don’t live on campus, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have a 5 p.m. class, on those days I am typically on campus from 9:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. I didn’t think I would be able to handle long school hours again, especially hours even longer than I was at high school. However, there are so many ways to stay busy at NDSU that the hours practically fly by in a comparison to high school. The seemingly shorter school days are just one of the things that surprise me about NDSU. Second, there were several things about college that met my expectations exactly. For example, going into college I figured that there was going to be a very large amount of homework in comparison to high school. I was...

...happy and successful, they must be thin. So-called “plus-size” models are a growing presence on magazine covers, television and lingerie catalogues but at the Fashion Weeks of New York and London they are still the exception. In a reflection of the expanding market for women who defy the super-slender ideals of the catwalk, leading fashion magazine Elle offered its readers a special issue in March featuring larger than normal models and sales jumped. British designer Mark Fast introduced shows last year in which the models were all above a British size twelve, and American size eight, following criticism that his dresses were too skinny. Despite their trailblazing status in the fashion world, when it comes to bigger models New York and London are slightly out of step. The move towards more generously sized models has accelerated since the death from anorexia in 2006 of Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston, which shocked the fashion world. Spain and Italy banned models below a certain body mass index after her death, while Britain stopped short; banning only those aged under sixteen from the catwalk. “Sixteen corresponds to a level of maturity,” said Caroline Ruth of the British Fashion Council. When Frederique van der Wal, a former Victoria’s Secret model, attended designers’ shows during New York’s Fashion Week this month, she was “shocked” by the waiflike models who paraded down the catwalk. They seemed even skinnier than in previous years. “We know seeing super-thin models...

I want to save enough money to buy a farm, once I do I can marry my fiancée Sophia and, provide a good life for her. She is so beautiful that my heart aches at the thought of being apart from her. (Molnar, 2010). I am sailing on the St. Michele I think the name is a good omen for a Catholic like me. It puts me at ease as I climb on board. ("Italy Genweb", 2004). The feeling of comfort does not last very long, I am traveling on the steerage deck, which is open with no protection from cold and, stormy weather. I am always exposed to the damp sea air. Days pass by and turn into weeks it is a long miserable trip. Food is hard to come by; we have to fight our way to the kitchens and, then fight over raw potatoes, or; rice. Even when we have the luxury of finding food there is no way to prepare it. The worse is the crew members, if we are caught they beat us unmercifully. It is chaos all over, and the mothers cry as they watch their children starve. The smell is almost of bearable the unwashed bodies pressed together. I am watching people die; they throw the pitiful bodies into the ocean without a second though. I am weakening; I am not sure I can make it. Then I see her the Statue of Liberty, many of my fellow...

...Social Marketing – Anti-Anorexia Campaign (Italy) X444 Background While there has been much attention focused on the obesity problem in the developed world, another serious health issue is anorexia nervosa. There is tremendous pressure in the developed world for women to be extremely thin. The current ideal female body is impossible to achieve for the majority of women and is markedly different from the classical ideal dating back to the Greeks and even as recently as the 1950s and 1960s. By today’s standards, Marilyn Monroe and Raquel Welch would be considered “fat.” Venus de Milo Ancient Greece Marilyn Monroe 1950s Raquel Welch 1960s Keira Knightley 2000s While obesity is certainly unhealthy, the social pressure for women to be extremely thin is also unhealthy. According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD) (2007), in the U.S. 7 million women and 1 million men suffer from eating disorder mental illness. Lauter (2008) quoted Marleen S. Williams, a psychology professor at Brigham Young University in Utah who said studies show fewer eating disorders in "cultures that value full-bodied women." • Health impact of eating disorders (ANAD, 2007, except as noted below) o Physical § 20% fatality rate (CBS, 2007) § Malnutrition § Dehydration § Ruptured stomach § Serious heart, kidney, and liver damage § Tooth/gum erosion § Tears of the esophagus o Mental § Depression § Low self-esteem § Shame and guilt § Impaired...

...Using the data in Appendix D, analyse the possible consequences for Roberts Media plc if activity ‘G’ (equipment installed) and activity ‘E’ (design marketing campaign) are both delayed by four weeks. Critical path analysis is the mathematical network analysis technique of planning complex working procedures with reference to the critical path of each alternative system. One possible consequence is that there will be a four week delay for activity ‘G’. This will therefore lead to the launch taking 25 weeks instead of the originally planned target of it taking 24 weeks. This delay will result in the business failing to meet its targeted launch with London fashion week. This could therefore result in the business failing to receive publicity and advertisements linking to London fashion week preventing them from creating awareness thus resulting in a loss of potential customers. The loss of potential advertisement contracts also results in an additional loss of revenue. Another consequence is that Roberts Media plc will have lost a lot of potential customers and sales to its competitors. As stated in the case study the readership of the magazines has fallen in the past two years for reasons such as competition from cheaper rival magazines. By having activity ‘G’ and activity ‘E’ delayed, all the others will be as well as will the launch as previously mentioned. Roberts Media plc.’s competitors could gain customers quicker if they release their products beforehand as customers...
