...difference between a school banning baggy pants and an employer not allowing sneakers at work? There is none. After all, we are talking about children who are being told what the appropriate attire to wear while attending school. The ban does not and should not extend outside of school. Now to the main reason why baggy pants are banned - indecent exposure, which in turn can lead to the distraction of other students. Where do we draw the line on decency? What's decent or fashionable for some people may be considered vulgar and indecent to others. So why even bother arguing what's decent and what is not? It's somewhat irrelevant in my opinion because if we accept the fact that as an institution, it has the right to set standards on what it feels is acceptable and appropriate attire while attending school, then whether it's decent or not doesn't really matter after that point. Courts do it. Businesses do it. So why not schools? Can a person argue that wearing no clothing at all is also a form of free speech? I believe so but there’s a place and time for when it’s appropriate. If society as a whole considers public nudity offensive and indecent, then...

...and honor themselves as reasonable humans. They need to establish and submit rules, laws and regulations that would prevent them from getting into trouble. Everyone needs to recognize the real sense of life, distinguish good from bad, right from wrong, because everything seems to be good but everything is not really useful. Jonathan, I also believe that the lack of moral education cause women expose themselves too much, attract and incite men desire, infant their sensational rage, and finally lead to kidnapping, rapist, and murder. As an example from the bible, in the ancient time, king David from its palace lust after the wife of someone else, and finally killed her husband so he could have her, because that women’s indecent exposure in a river. Indecent exposure (baggy/saggy pants) is not a funny topic. Freedom of speech is not freedom to do...

...Jamie O’Neal October 22nd, 2014 Eng 112-02 Be Stupid (it’ll be fun) Diesel’s ad campaign “Be Stupid” is award-winning, simple and to the point. It portrays a proposed way of life with visual metaphors of stretching boundaries and breaking the rules to have more fun. This specific ad shows a man’s lower half clothed in Diesel jeans with a bare-legged female crawling on top of him and another scantily clad female underneath the bed, hiding and covering her mouth. Diesel seems to be trying to encourage and celebrate being “stupid” as a new way of life that is against the status quo of an uptight society. All of the ads are of young and attractive people doing some kind of an illegal, sexual or shocking act. Though this campaign was thought to be pure gold by its creators and even by the Cannes International Advertising Festival, it was banned in the UK with good reason. This advertisement specifically, along with most of the others is inappropriate for children, offensive and encourages distasteful and rebellious behavior. Diesel had a good technique in targeting a specific audience with this campaign by making all of the taglines encouraging for the youth to take chances and not to fear failure, but pairing that message with images of girls flashing cameras or hiding half naked under beds is where it goes south. Every single ad in this campaign is portrayed by a young person, being close to naked or doing something sexual. When children see this being celebrated, it tells...

...embarrassed for doing so. This is an issue which is completely misunderstood as a disrespectful act of indecent exposure, when in fact it is the most natural thing in the world. Breastfeeding, the most natural and healthy method of feeding, has recently come under attack by vocal groups of hypocritical opponents. This issue has escalated to such a point that mothers trying to nurse their babies have been harassed, hounded and publicly humiliated. Given the vast scientific knowledge demonstrating the significant health risk to those babies not fortunate enough to be breastfed, one would wonder why more women are not encouraged to breastfeed. Breastfeeding is a naturally occurring event which is oldest form of feeding a child it has existed since the beginning of time. In fact, out of all the mammals that exist on this planet, every one of them nurses their babies, including humans (WHO, 2013). Millions of women around the world breastfeed and do not give it a second thought. Only recently, breastfeeding in public has been seen as indecent. Why would society frown upon the most natural and beautiful act a mother can do for her child? Almost daily women are asked to leave public places they are feeding their children because someone believes it is indecent or perverted, despite the efforts that have been made to promote breastfeeding as positive Breastfeeding is not indecent or perverted; however, many individuals think it should be hidden and out of the public eye. It is a women’s...

...advantageous which actually has unlimited capabilities; in seeking a certain information, for recreation, for entertainment purposes and many other uses. But despite those infinite uses of computers, some say that computers cause detrimental effects to those who are exposed to its radiation. Radiation, in Physics, it is defined as the process of transmitting energy through space. There are two types of radiation exposure—82% is from natural resources such as cosmic and solar rays and 18% of the exposure is from man-made radiation. Radiation injures the body by destroying cells and parts of cells. It hinders cells from dividing which gives rise to cells which does not have the ability to reproduce. The reason why the researchers have chosen this topic is to stress out the hazardous effects of computer radiation.Long-term exposure to radiation increases the risk of all forms of cancer, tumors, blood disorders, miscarriage, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, aging of the skin, skin burn, etc. Radiation exposure over time can cause skin burn, dry wrinkled skin and photo aging. This skin damage is identical to sun damage and causes the same health problems. Many electronic products that we use on a daily basis expose us to harmful radiation. A television, microwave oven, cellular phone and computer are examples of products that emit radiation. To preserve your health use electronic products carefully, in ways that shield...

...help create but I had grown enough to understand the significance of the experience I gained. I had been exposed to exclusive training with the company and had acquired the necessary skills to help me handle difficult tasks. I was always available when my manager required my contribution; I knew he would miss that. However, I was more concerned about my experience and exposure in other fields, as well as what I had to do to achieve my life goals. Position 2: You are right, I am wrong Leaving my previous employer who trained me to be a top notch administrative professional was obviously painful. According to him, if I only took some more time, he would have promoted me to a managerial position in the company. He was willing to expose me to higher responsibilities that would prepare me to handle extremely difficult situations that managers experience in their duties. However, I no longer had the desire to be someone’s secretary. Position 3: both right, both wrong My employer was correct when he claimed that he was concerned of me and would ensure that I am well versed with experience and exposure in my field of work. He was also right to say that he had trained me on the basics of my career and he was ready to expose me to more knowledge in the field....

...Cortina dʼAmpezzo Venice Portofino Cinque Terre Two photographers, Italy and the D80 Photographers from different fields share their impressions after shooting with the D80 on a trip to Italy. About shooting in Italy - H (Hien): Iʼ ve long dreamed of shooting in Venice. As a photojournalist, I always strive to convey the moment just as I see it with my own eyes. This demands a great amount of footwork to get acquainted with the location, and the time to establish a rapport with the locals. Shooting early in the morning with the D80 left an immediate impression on me. There was limited light, and that was comprised of a mixture of natural and artificial light. A film camera in such a situation requires complicated use of filters, whereas the D80 was able to achieve accurate white balance and metering under mixed light sources and produce beautiful results. Y (Yves): I believe shooting in the cafe allowed m e t o c l e a r l y ex p r e s s m y f e e l i n g s a b o u t the location. I am always exploring how best to express myself based on the inspiration I draw from the actual scene. And for me, the light is the inspiration. I like to control the light in each shot, which of course includes capturing the mood of the natural light, while at times also taking advantage of reflected light or using flashes. The D80 produced images just as I envisioned them, performing perfectly throughout the trip. Images from the D80 are of the highest quality, and I can edit them freely after...

...“What I tell you three times is true.” (Lewis Carroll) Might this formula – or a more sophisticated version of it – actually determine what we believe to be true? Repetition is our way of learning knowledge. Repetition is drilling something to memory, reinforcing the idea in our heads. It is the key to reflexive use (use without conscious thought). Your mind “learns” by repetition and reinforcement. Repetition and its effects on what we believe to be true, play a major role in the way that we accumulate general knowledge. The formula implies that repetition is equal to truth, when really repetition is just repetition. Repetition does not make a statement the truth. But a statement, if repeated often enough, can come to be accepted as truth. This leads us to the question whether a lie can be accepted as truth. From the standpoint of logic, the number of times an incorrect fact is repeated is irrelevant. It is still false. But research has shown that a statement, even an incorrect fact, if repeated often enough, can be accepted as truth. This paper will examine several research studies, influencing variables, and examples from everyday life to identify this occurrence. In addition to this, the possible effects of repetition will be discussed as well. One of the simplest ways to show how repetition causes a statement to be accepted as truth is gossip. First, someone tells a friend a statement, which can be true or false. This friend tells another friend, who tells another...

...Sequence: https://vimeo.com/patrickclair/truedetective I chose True Detective’s main title sequence because it portrayed a style that I had never really seen before in motion. It contains photographic double exposure which have always peaked my interested with photography. However, Antibody studios took fragmented portraits, created using human figures as windows into partial landscapes, and gave them new meaning to show how characters are marginalized or internally divided through the double exposure. The double exposure photography combined with movement of film in a different opacity creates interesting compositions with formal and informal balance. Even though there isn’t much motion or special effects in the piece the viewer experience is not effected in anyway. The contrasting balance between large double exposure photographs with unknown content and minimal typography make the viewer want more, which is exactly what an opening title sequence should do. Keeping the viewer invested is the most essential element of a successful title sequence and this piece does just that. The opening title sequence sets the tone and mood for the TV show. True Detective is a thriller murder mystery that is dark and twisted and the grungy dark textures combined with the double exposures in contrasting space embody the feeling of the show. I believe True Detective’s title sequence speaks for itself and needs no improvement. Its popularity and visual appeal could agree as well because it received...

Abstract On the basis of an extended review of literature dedicated to experimental studies of sponsorship effects on brand perceptions, this paper introduces a detailed framework of sponsorship persuasion process. Considering the central “transfer” between event and brand perceptions, the model also includes moderating effects (such as congruence) and focuses on specific components of functional, affective and symbolic customer value. In Spring 2007, a Web survey was conducted to evaluate the impact of Louis Vuitton’s sponsorship of America’s Cup. A total sample of 1,400 European respondents was developed thanks to the collaboration of eight Universities in France, Germany, Italy and Spain, working...
