...Views Around the world what sport do you think has become the most popular over the years? If you guessed racket ball then you’re probably wrong. It’s Called” The Beautiful Game “, and yes its soccer. They call it the beautiful game because of how one is able to manipulate the ball and make it do whatever they want it to. My dad taught me this meaning one day when we he was training me around the age of 8, and told me that if I kept working hard and stayed committed I would soon understand what he meant. From his generation to mine, soccer has increasingly become a much harder sport and because of that its popularity has increased heavily over the years. Why? Because the level of intensity soccer is played in today’s game, the merchandise big brands are producing, and the one and only World Cup. If you were to attend a professional soccer game without ever playing I’m sure it would change your perspective on the sport for certain. It’s not as easy as it looks on TV, believe me. Modern day soccer is so intense it’s almost insane. If you don’t know what I’m talking about go out and look for some team you could randomly join and play a whole game. Bet most of you wouldn’t last. It’s not just some sport you can just join in now to pass time. It’s either give it your all or go and play another sport because soccer is that serious now. Everyone at the high level is fast, strong, smart, and determined to take the ball from you. It’s nonstop running for 90 minutes...

...years pass by. In our world today over three billion people and counting are using the internet today. Three things where technology has had an improvement is in the medical field, military, and homes. First of all, I have seen and experienced the new use of technology in the Medical Field. In today’s world doctors and sergeants can save more people’s lives. They have created robots that can do surgery, and have 100% perfection in the surgery. There are new cameras that doctors use today that can go inside your body and search for many things including tumors, cancer, and injuries. An x-ray is technology that doctors use today, in order for them to see just your bones and be able to detect what injuries you may have. This is helpful for many people especially the athletes, since they have a higher probability of getting fractures on their bones. In my own opinion I think technology did a good improvement in this area. Secondly, in the military it’s difficult to decide whether the improvements are good or bad. The military has advanced in many aspects which is terrible for the whole world but good for the armies all around the world. The ending of World War II is an example of a bad improvement. The United States of America had to use the Atomic Bombs on two cities of Japan to end the war. Now there is a new bomb called the nuclear bomb. This bomb can destroy the whole world in an instant. Not many countries own this new advancement in technology, but it’s still dangerous since...

...and cannot go into our food, or who even produces our food? Probably not. All college kids want to know is how well it tastes, the cost of it, and how much they can get in one sitting. Our food system is in place to make sure production, control, regulation, inspection, and distribution of food is met to the highest of standards. But as our world changes, so does our need for a changing food system. The American food system needs to change because it’s causing world hunger in other nations, there is a blurred line in the quality of organic food, and lastly Americans don’t even know where their food has come from. We’ve all seen those informational commercials where they ask us to donate around 20 cents a week to help the hungry in a third world country. Have you ever thought about how that country got to the state it’s in or why they can’t get out of that state? Believe it or not, the “Green Revolution” isn’t as great as most think. The revolution brought on new farming technologies to nations that weren’t stable enough to sustain them. Robert Paarlberg, author of “Attention Whole Foods Shoppers,” addresses the Green Revolution and world hunger by providing an example from Central America: “Absentee landlords in Central America, who previously allowed peasants to plant subsistence crops on underutilized land, pushed them off to sell or rent...

...2012 Question #1 What are the chief elements of the strategy that Whole Foods Market is pursuing? Is the strategy well matched to recent developments and conditions in the natural and organic foods segment of the food retailing industry? As two young hippies in the late 70’s, John Mackey and his girlfriend opened an all natural food market in Austin, Texas. The store blossomed successfully, with several more opening in surrounding towns. Each store produced accordingly and did well, however, Whole Market Foods big rise didn’t come until after 1992, when John Mackey made the decision to start buying natural food retailers all over the United States. With this demanding statement, Whole Foods Market made a startling presence in the produce aspect of things. John Mackey makes Whole Foods Market thrive with his strange but successful tactics that he uses. Instead of completely changing every store that he buys out, or market he takes over, he takes unique tendencies that each has and uses it to help the original better. Over 70% of Whole Foods Market were made from complete scratch, giving each one its own personality. Whole Foods Market main goal is to provide the most naturally produced and preserved foods that they can, in the most appealing and presentable way that they can. The fact that John Mackey is consistently open to new change for the profit of the company, adaptations come smooth and swift for Whole Foods Market, allowing them to keep up to date with upcoming competitors...

It has five main components; they are economic conditions, economic system, economic policies, international economic environment and economic legislations. Whole Foods CEO John Mackey has pioneered a different approach for the operation of his company than most large retail businesses. John Mackey has the ideal that business and “crony” Capitalism is fundamentally based on greed, selfishness and the exploitation of consumers, workers, society, and the environment for the goal of maximizing profits.(Mackey 2013). However as his business has grown and become very successful he grew to believe that if ran correctly business and capitalism can be a vehicle to solve most of the economic problems of the world we live in. (Mackey 2013). The economic condition of the world affects the profitability of Whole Foods Company through several different factors. The standard of living in which the customers of Whole Foods Market are subject to dictates the amount of tangible goods they can purchase from the company. Organic offerings cost more to produce that other types of offerings making the price to consumers considerable higher than non-organic...

...1. Put the Focus on the People, Not the Product Rarely do you hear Steve Jobs talking about the various features of Apple products. Standing on stage, he doesn’t push the speed of the iPhone’s processor or the screen resolution, for example. He knows most people don’t care, and the ones who do can easily find that information on Apple’s website or product literature. Instead, he goes out of his way to emphasize how the product affects you. He talks about how annoying it is to carry both a phone and an MP3 player and how, with an iPhone, you’re condensing them down to one easy-to-carry device. It’s about simplicity, productivity, style — all things he knows people are interested in. And it takes discipline. When you launch a product, everyone in your company is probably excited by the technical specs, and all of the different ways your product pushes the envelope, and it’s easy to assume your customer feels the same way. But they don’t. They care about their problems and how your product is going to fit into their life So, that’s how you have to frame your marketing....

...How would you feel if someone told you that no one would mourn your death? Throughout Aldous Huxley’s novel, Brave New World, the reader is shown scientific processes that are used to create the objectively “happy” individuals that the book follows, Lenina and Fanny. One such process of this nature is “death conditioning,” where the children are discouraged to care about or even remember the deceased. We see such a distinct sense of apathy in the New World of the novel, so much so that when John The Savage sees his mother die, he is labeled as a freak and a monster. This constant apathy is used to show Huxley’s concern for the present day world and comment on the nonsensical way society handles death. Because of this, Brave New World is written...

Especially, the TV-advertisement has caused a lot of anger and frustration among their customers, because of its controversial images. So much frustration that some customers even have decided to leave the bank for another bank. The main subject is that Danske Bank is trying to create a “false” image of the bank. Some even think that its hypocritical and that Danske Bank promises more than they can hold. This has caused a lot of disturbance on e.g. Danske Bank’s Facebook page and one wall post caught more attention than any of the other complaints. Thomas Moos Jensen wrote: “I want to share this constructive input: "It is rare that an advertisement can get me so angry, but the new campaign from the Danish Bank is simply like being kicked in the balls. "A new normal demands new standards", preach it with an image, which rather resembles an advertisement for Amnesty International, together with glorified images of windmills, gay love and, God help me, also Occupy Wall Street! Hello, banking types, you want us to believe that you now would be a kind of society beneficial...

...points: congruence and working in quotes All over the world, the media is becoming a dominating part of people's everyday life. Pages such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and so on are affecting the society. We replace the bad things in life with technology, and we do not realize it before there's nothing else left. The kids who grow up in this world are so easily affected. The media raise them. They're raised by the idea that likes and comments are the definition of their popularity and how likeable they are. This is also some of the topics Jonathan Franzen talks about in his essay: "Liking Is for Cowards. Go for What Hurts". In the essay by Jonathan Franzen, he passes through a lot of topics. He's very critical towards the technology, which has developed aggressively throughout the last couple of years. He uses a lot of experiences from his own life such as when he talks about his new Blackberry (s. 1, line 1-4). He also talks about how we all want to be likeable. We all want to be accepted and liked by everyone. But it is just not possible. We use the technology to hide behind. The world of liking becomes dominant and that takes out the meaning of loving someone. Because when you love someone, then you expose yourself, which makes you vulnerable. So we hide on the social medias. We do not expose ourselves, but we can portray ourselves just as we like on the media. No one needs to know all the bad stuff. It's obvious that Jonathan Franzen really tries to engage...

...Competing needs - Creating an empowered environment within a changing landscape. Introduction After the US banking collapse and subsequent Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008, the banking industry in Australia was in shock. The very stability and security of the industry was under threat and it’s morality under question. Globally, banking had lost credibility and it’s position on the pedestal of stability and tradition. The very nature of banking was called into question, and the financial environment changed rapidly. Within Australia, the banking sector underwent a rapid transformation, as banks scrabbled to re-define themselves in wake of the global financial crisis. The speed of response to the changing market and subsequent internal innovation required to re-imagine a different way of banking and being in the community and sector required nothing less than a metamorphosis of the way of being. The question then became ‘How do you re-invent a large, mature bank and equip it for the current, significant change, and also prepare it for future change that you can’t see or imagine?’ How do you transform your business and people to thrive in the new world of change, and how do you do it when not only the public but the staff are cynical of quick fixes? By looking at the journey the bank has taken, you can understand the evolutionary journey the bank has taken, and is still taking to bring a different type of leadership to life. Methodology of inquiry Initially, my focus...

...People nowadays can communicate with people all around the world using many different types of communications such as social networking sites, cell phones, emails, etc. Carr brings in many different scientific research as well as a couple of personal experiences to show the great change in technology and the internet. The author chose to write The Shallows from an epiphany he had realized, “It (his brain) was hungry. It was demanding to be fed by the net feed...I wanted to check email, click links, do some googling. I wanted to be connected” (Carr 16). The way that technology has changed and developed the internet has made Carr want to stress the fact that although technology is very useful, it can be very harmful to peoples’ brain in a way that it affects a person’s deeper level of thinking. Section II:The Author’s Background Nicholas Carr is a columnist, member of the Encyclopedia Britannica's editorial board of advisors, as well as an executive editor. Carr writes about technology, culture, and economics which have made his books New York Times Bestsellers in addition to being a 2011 Pulitzer Prize nominee.

Innovation. It’s Nike’s growth engine. It’s what they athletes, consumers and investors expect of them – and always have. It’s what they expect of themselves. It enables new heights in performance and raises the bar for their industry and beyond. We focus sustainable innovation on our biggest areas of opportunity and risk. We ask difficult questions of ourselves, our business model and our industry. We seek to understand the meta-trends and the signals – strong and weak – that add complexity and uncertainty to the future. Rather than working to avoid only known risk, we work to understand where risks and opportunities may emerge as well as what’s needed to address them and enable new forms of innovation to take hold. Innovation has never been more important than it is today. It’s not just about improving the products we make. It’s about how we invent better ones, work with other companies and organizations to develop markets that value and encourage the creation of new sustainable processes and products, and improve lives by leveraging sustainability as the world’s greatest innovation opportunity. We focus sustainable innovation on our biggest areas of opportunity and risk. We ask difficult questions of ourselves, our business model and our industry. We seek to understand...

...conducted audio conversations wirelessly over modulated light beams, which required a direct line of sight. In 1885 Thomas Edison used a vibrator magnet for induction transmission. In 1891 he filed a wireless patent for the signal system and method using inductance he applied to the Lehigh Valley Railroad system he established in 1888. In the meantime, Henrich Hertz demonstrated the existence of electromagnetic waves with an oscillator. Then came what is perhaps the most debated topic in wireless history, the invention of the radio. WiFi has easily been one of the most useful technologies of the past decade so many of our daily tasks and the devices we use rely on it, and it’s on the verge of getting a whole lot better. First, it's not as new as it might sound. This is not a new idea or proposal it’s about the availability and use of white space for unlicensed devices in the TV bands as part of the FCC’s incentive auction process. The promise of the 600 MHz band, post incentive auction, is that the guard bands would mean that spectrum for unlicensed use would be available nationwide – in all markets, including places where there is little or no white...
