...sparked what is now known as the Flapper era. Flappers also were referred to as the modern "New Women” were often described as, “Confident, employed, pleasure seeking, and most of all someone who exercised sexual agency” , almost the complete opposite of the women who came before them. The generation before was seen as “Mrs. Grundy”, which “represented prudery and sacrifice” , whereas flappers were seen as “pleasure and consumption”. Many people within the older generations shared the same ideas of Miss Laurette Taylor when she stated, “Your flapper -if you call her that- can't work or study all day and dance all night and make good at what she works at." Elder generations feared that these women were focused on having fun and not being productive to society. Flappers were less concerned with politics and more focused on social roles of women. Miss Virginia Potter, the president of New York League of Girls Clubs, Inc., states, "I think the modern young girl is a delight....

...Before the 1920s woman usually worked on farms with their parents, then came the 1920s and it brought many changes for young women in the United States, they stated to decide they want to be dancers and singers and some even get involved with mafia gangs. As in the play "Thoroughly Modern Millie", millions of young women left the safety and security of rural, small town life and went to live an independent life in the big city. The flapper culture is the best example of the type of life that many women in the 1920’s wanted to live. Flappers were young, independent, brash, and sometimes more than a little bit "naughty", at least compared to what their family back on the farm expected. Some of the most frequent things for flappers in the 1920’s...

...In the years of the 1920’s there were many amazing things going on. New things were coming in to play around this time that most people did not expect to see. Some of the more important things going on included; the introduction of flappers, prohibition, The Jazz Age, new children toys, car racing, horse racing, and the Ku Klux Klan. These were only a few of the important things going on, but I am going to go into detail about what a flapper is and how they changed the way society saw women in this era. The flappers in the 1920’s were like a new breed of women. These women drank, smoked, danced, wore their hair how they wanted, went to parties, and wore makeup. There were a few different definitions of a “flapper.” One was a young girl who was still in the awkward stage before womanhood, some people used this word to reference a prostitute, while others merely thought the word...

... Abstract Consideration is given to the convergence of supply chains and sustainability. In doing so, the focus on environmental management and operations is moved from local optimization of environmental factors to consideration of the entire supply chain during the production, consumption, customer service and post-disposal disposition of products. This is a critical and timely topic that captures increasing concerns over sustainability, whether driven by current legislation, public interest, or competitive opportunity. As such, sustainable development is a rich area for academic research that is still in its infancy and has the potential to affect future government policy, current production operations, and identify new business models. This paper provides a background to better understand current trends in this multidisciplinary field that intersect with operations management, and the research opportunities and challenges it presents. # 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Keywords: Supply chain; Sustainability; By-products 1. Introduction The interaction between sustainability and supply chains is the critical next step from recent examinations of operations and the environment (Corbett and Kleindorfer, 2003) and operations and sustainability (Kleindorfer et al., 2005).

...The Beginning of TIME: How Britton Hadden and Henry R. Luce Changed the Magazine Industry In 1923 Henry R. Luce and Briton Hadden released a most original an unique piece of work; Time magazine. Time magazine became and remained completely different from its predecessors and competitors. It changed the way people became informed, and changed the entire magazine industry. Journalists before the 1920's had to deal with the blatant attack on freedom of speech and press led on by president Woodrow Wilson's administration, and it left them too afraid or unwilling to speak their minds. As a result rarely was the news delivered noteworthy, and too many Americans were left generally uniformed. Once the press finally did recover from the suppressive Wilson administration, the economy simultaneously experienced a great advance. With Warren G. Harding, a former journalist, as president now and the oppressive Wilson out of the picture it was an ideal time for the press to experiment (Daly 178-190). Luce and Hadden met each other when they were just young boys attending Hotchkiss boarding school in Connecticut. Though their relationship was incredibly competitive from the very beginning and their conflicting attitudes led them to work together with an effective energy. Neither of them came from much money, but that didn't matter so much as they made friends that had plenty. Endowed with the great ability of drive and dedication. Enthusiastic and confident in their ideas, failure...

...LOGISTICS. A REVIEW OF LITERATURE1 Isabel Fernández Quesada2 ABSTRACT This paper aims at providing a review of Reverse Logistics concept from a broad set of articles, published mainly in the last decade. From their reading, the author has detected the lack of a desirable largely accepted consensus on what constitutes Reverse Logistics, either on what the range of activities should be included within its scope or how to denominate each of its options in a not fuzzy way. The clarification of the concept matters for several reasons. On the one hand, most of the so called, environmental regulations -which have been passed in a growing manner, in recent years and in many parts of the world- usually mention some objectives to be reached in certain periods of time, in relation to some of the Reverse Logistics activities (being perhaps the most common one, recycling targets). Given that not only consumers, but also both companies and municipalities are committed with these goals, it would be handy and desirable to have a clear idea of what is meant by each denomination and the implications that each one may have. On the other hand, having a definite guideline of this conceptual framework would allow for some comparative studies about the different levels of implementation within the members of the chain or between different channels, being more accurate and reliable. On the previous literature review basis, the paper concludes by providing a reasoned characterization of this new part of the...

...I. United States of America economic history In order to successfully move forward, we need to look to the past. The country’s economic history is like all history, meaning that it examines and observes the past activities of mankind (Fite 4). The most significant periods in the United States economic history are actually the three centuries before England settled in America. There were four changes happening in Western Europe that have greatly influenced America. Those changes were economic, political, religious, and intellectual (Fite 15). So why were these changes so important? They were the reasons that England decided to explore and expand in the western part of the world. The decision to expand trade and commerce was the most important advancement in the history of economics (Fite 15). From the time that the Virginia colonies were settled in 1609 up until 1890, farming was the most important aspect of the United States economy (Fite 30). Although manufactured products were worth more than products produced on a farm for the first time in 1889, farming was how the majority of Americans made a living (Fite 30). Despite the fact that agriculture dominated in these early years and the industrialization of the colonies was well under developed, “there was a high degree of specialization in the colonial economy” (Fite 63). For example, there were tobacco crops in the southern colonies which were crops that produced money, and in the northern colonies there was international...
