...DATE: 11 November 2013 SUBJECT: Donations for Fallen Heroes Monument in Virginia As the marketing director and for a military veteran’s foundation I take great honor in representing our military here in Virginia. When providing marketing communications to our sponsors and military families to discuss getting sponsorship or donations to our organization it is important to look at demographics and psychographics in order to be able to target the correct audience. Demographics and psychographics affect the way consumers buy in to products. The demographics I am appealing to for our organization is location and age. There are a lot of Virginia residents that are have an affiliation with the military either by having served, serving now or as a retiree. Building this monument for Virginia residents gives them a symbol of something meaningful that honors their families and it is right outside their front door. Another demographic would be age. I am appealing to the age range of 15 years old and up. Fifteen year olds are in high school and some of them may be a part of their Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at their school. Some may be in the class just to get a credit but most times their parents or a family member served or is currently serving in the military. When dealing with psychographics I would try to appeal to people and corporations that have some of the same values and beliefs as the military. I would look for integrity, customer service, and respect for...

...Should the government cut funds to the NPS? I believe that no they should not be cut. National Parks are a big part of teaching us about our country’s past and provides us with a way to see how our ancestors may have lived. Linda J. Bilmes and John Loomis’s article, “Americans Think National Parks Are Worth Way More than We Spend on Them” states, “From Yellowstone to Ellis Island, the 412 places that NPS protects tell America’s story.” There are many benefits to having these historical sites. These benefits include, protecting these sites for future generations, teaching kids about nature, and providing a way for Native American people to keep in touch with their culture. National parks have always been a huge part of the United States. The National Park Service (NPS) funds and manages these national parks. National parks are...

...that reside at The Pentagon Memorial Washington, D.C. This monument represents those killed in the 9/11 Pentagon attack; each bench represents one person, water resides under these benches, calm and still. As you walked along the benches you notice loud voices disturbing the peace and tranquility of the somber monument; people throwing garbage into the water pools, and people running around behaving as if they were not at a monument. This is a monument built to represent a grave for those who died. You feel disgusted, disrespected and shocked at the ignorance of those you’re around. You dont want to disrespect any monuments, memorials, or people while traveling. When traveling in D.C. I learned knowing what to say around people and monuments is a big part...

...Anna Higgins Field Trip Project G148C Lava Beds National Monument For my class field trip I visited Lava Beds National Monument. This beautiful monument is home to the Medicine Lake Shield Volcano. Medicine Lake is the largest volcano by volume in the Cascade Range. Over the last half-million years, volcanic eruptions from this volcano have created a rugged landscape of volcanic features. It is home to over 700 caves, native american rock art sites and battlefields. It is an oasis in the high desert wilderness. I started my trip by visiting the Visitor Center located off of the cave loop road where I learned about all the caves and hiking trails. Upon leaving the visitor center I hiked the Thomas Wright battleground trail. Then I visited three caves starting with Mushpot Cave a lighted cave with interpretive signs. After exploring mushpot I ventured to Sentinel Cave which is a 3,280ft cave with two entrances, smooth floors and lots of interesting features. Last but not least I explored Skull Cave a 580ft long cave with a lower level floor made of ice year around and a huge wide open feel. The visitor center at Lava Beds National Monument was very educational. As soon as I enter the building I was greeted by a Ranger who taught me all about the caves and screened me for white nose syndrome. A disease which has been affecting the bats that live within the caves at Lava Beds National Monument. I also watched the twelve minute movie shown by the visitor center before starting...

...Art 100 Virtual tour of Washington DC area Siva and consort Uma SMITHSONIAN MUSEUM-Arthur M. Sackler and Freer Gallery of Art – SOUTH ASIAN AND HIMALAYAN ART Both the Sackler Gallery and Freer Gallery are located on the National Mall between the Capitol and Washington Monument. The hours of operation are 10.00 am to 5.30 pm except on December 25 and admission is free.Charles Lang Freer, the founder of the Freer Gallery of art expressed his enthusiasm by “I am over my head in love with India” after his first visit to the subcontinent. As I casually browsed the Freer Gallery, the beautifully decorated image of Buddha caught my attention. Also, on display were other masterpieces of Mughal and Rajput paintings along with richly decorated court arts and daggers used by Mughal emperors. I can clearly relate to this period of history because I am of Indian descent and also practice Hindu religion. I am well aware of this particular aspect of art and culture that we have covered during this course. During The Chola dynasty, the Hindu god known as Siva Nataraja (Lord of the Dance) was the perfect embodiment of Chola beauty. The Chola dynasty was one of the most dominant artistic, religious and political forces in south India from the ninth through the thirteenth century. Siva Nataraj was portrayed as the family diety because he was always seen with his consort Uma and their elephant headed son Ganesha, often referred to as the remover of all obstacles. According to the...

...Marketing Communications Memo Jamie Mattice PSY/322 07-07-2014 MICHAEL TURNER As the marketing director for the veteran’s foundation know as Help Vets, we are looking to raise money to build a new monument to honor the fallen heroes of this country. This memo will discuss the importance of understanding the basics of marketing research, this same research that relates to the Help Vets current way the operations and strategies are conducted, and the extreme importance of demographic and psychographic information when it relates to developing a sound and unique marketing strategy. We will be using unique ways to be able to come up with the money needed for this monument as well as developing new ways to gain more money to be able to build thing monument on time and correctly. When putting these two graphics together it is very important that we understand how they work and how they will relate to the goal that we are trying to achieve. The demographics are simple information that consists of sex, age, and race. On the other hand, psychographics contains information that is harder to see and find. This can include value systems, trigger buttons, and passions of a consumer or individual. A good example of the two is demographics can tell you a man is 30-40, has a 200,000 yearly income, and is male. The psychographic data about the same group will tell you deep interest about the men or women and allow you to develop more accurate and successful marketing strategies. The...

...ourselves to as a country, is unacceptable. I cannot possibly deny that the Confederacy was and continues to be a part of our history, that is simply fact. Still, I believe that statues do not serve as a reminder nor a deterrent, but as somewhat of an enabler. White supremacist groups continue to worship these statues as idols, rallying with torches and Confederate flags. We do not need bronze to remind us of the past. The events in the past and even now in recent times already make it impossible to wipe the images of the Confederacy. I am not saying that forgetting this awful period in American history is the correct thing to do. But to continue to preserve...

...that caught my attention was the South’s Defenders Confederate Monument located on the Courthouse lawn in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The bronze statue, which is 6 foot tall and weighs 200 pounds, was made by the W.H. Mullins Co., Salem, Ohio, John Segesman, chief sculptor (Jones, 2010). The first Confederate descendants’ organization in Lake Charles was Robert E. Lee Chapter 305, United Daughters of the Confederacy, which was founded in 1899. It raised the funds for the monument. The South's Defender's Confederate Monument was dedicated on 3 June 1915 on the grounds of the Calcasieu Parish Courthouse in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Today, 3 June, is the official Confederate Memorial Day in Louisiana. It is important we continue to remember thecourage and sacrifice of our gallant heroes in gray, who gave their all to defend their homes and families. They gave all for us so that we might inherit a land where the principles of 1776 were still alive and well. The six-foot, 200-pound bronzed copper statue of a Confederate color-bearer rests on an ornate marble pedestal and five-tiered marble base adorned with decorative cannon balls. This piece of art is considered classicism, the style of a specific era in the history of humanities (Janaro & Altshuler, 2009). The front of the monument is embossed with the words "The South's Defenders. Lower down are the war years, 1861-1865 and "Our Heroes." On the back of the monument are the words "Unveiled June 3, 1915." Under this are listed the...

...right around the corner, I have been reminiscing about my own trip to Europe to Canadian battle sights in the world wars, with the Queen's York Rangers 2799 Army Cadet Corps during the Spring Break of 2017. I didn’t go because I had relatives who fought and died in the war, I was not born a Canadian, as a matter of fact I immigrated to Canada when I was two years old. I didn’t go because my friends were going, or because my parents told me it was a good opportunity, or even because I love my Country’s history. I went because it was my way of remembering those who died so that i can live. I am part of the...

...India Before leaving to India I was a little bit pessimist about that trip. I was not sure if I would like the country, the culture, the food, and I have to admit that I would have loved staying in Florida and enjoying my Spring Break in South America. Overall that trip had been a success to me. I’ve been travelling since many years with my family. I’ve been really lucky to get the chance to discover new countries and cultures all around the world. India had been an amazing adventure for many reasons. Few years ago I went to Africa, in Mauritania and it amazed me to see how people could leave together even though the poor situation in the country. I felt the same in India and I would say even more. The first thing that I’ve noticed was obviously the fact that the living conditions are terrible for most of the people. I was extremely chocked about it, all those people sleeping outside, begging for food, begging for a simple tee-shirt and candies. It was extremely sad and weird to be confronted to all those kids living in the streets. I believe that the poverty in the streets and the living conditions have been a terrible eyes opener about how lucky I am to be born in Paris and to study in Florida. The architecture was something also very different from France or the United States. It was amazing to see all those old monuments and especially the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is definitely the most impressive and amazing monument that I’ve seen in my life. I will never forget that moment...

...remarkable monuments constructed during the reign of Ramses II was a temple at Abu Simbel,dedicated to Ramses and featuring four colossal statues of the pharaoh on its exterior. The following selection is part of an inscription on the temple. In it the god Ptah is addressing Ramses as his son. “King Ramses, I grant you to cut the mountains into statues immense, gigantic, everlasting; I grant that foreign lands find for you precious stone to inscribe the monuments with thy name. I give you to succeed in all the works which you have done. I give you all kinds of workmen, all that goes on two or four feet, all that flies and all that has wings. I have put in the heart of all nations to offer you what they have done; themselves, princes great and small, with one heart seek to please you, King Ramses... You have carved my statues and built my shrines...I am behind you to protect you; I give you health and strength; I cause Egypt to be submitted to you; I supply the two countries with pure life. King Ramses, I grant that...the might of your sword be felt among all countries; you cast down the hearts of all nations; I have put them under your feet; you come forth every day in order that foreign prisoners be brought to you; the chiefs and the great of all nations offer you their children. I give them to your gallant sword that you may do with them what you like. King Ramses, I grant that the fear of you be in the minds of all and your command in their hearts. I grant that...

...When I think of America’s gift to my generation the first thing I think of is the lgbt+ rights that have been gained for the past few years. The lgbt+ community may be a very touchy subject to some people seeing as some people are homophobic and did not want these rights to be gained for them. I am a person who supports people in the lgbt+ community seeing as I have friends and family in the lgbt+ community. From the 1900s to now people have made a big change in how the world sees people in the lgbt+ community. In 1913 an author started using lgbt+ openly in literature. In 1920 Harvard started looking for homosexul acts in their school and they expeled several students because of their investigating. In 1927 the New York Assembly bans the...

...To help it from not happening again, when the little boy he was asked the man he's become Wiesel's speech says, "That I have tried to keep the memory alive, that I have tried to fight those who would forget" (Wiesel 118). For Wiesel he is informing the people of remembering the Holocaust as a memory to honor all survived and those who did not. He does not want this horrible situation to ever be forgotten. Peter Fischl also wants to keep the memory alive. In the second section of his poem he writes, "Ten billion miles high will be the monument / so the whole universe can remember you / Little polish boy." (Fischl15-16-17 ). Fischl feels displeased with the world because they didn’t do anything about the situation. He is trying to inform people to speak up and not to let this happen again by saying that he would build an overly large monument in memory of the little polish boy. The size of the monument relates to how passionate Fischl is about not forgetting the boy, or the holocaust in general. Therefore, both Elie Wiesel and Peter Fischl are trying to speak up and remind people not to forget about the...
