...Jennifer Lopez’s Musical Influence on Society Written By: Samantha Yurchak Mr. Smith 7th Hour English 9A December 4, 2008 Samantha Yurchak Mr. S. Smith English 9A 7th hour 4 December, 2008 Jennifer Lopez’s Influence on Teenage Girls Jennifer Lopez, also known as JLo, influenced many teenage girls during the 1990‘s into the 2000‘s. She has been one of the big trend setters and a very well known actress and singer. In the previous decade many famous mommies were forming a new trend known as the baby bump. Instead of wearing maternity clothes they would simply just show off their growing bellies. This set off a major trend that is now worn all over the United States. Recent articles have revealed that some teens don’t think this is appropriate. “Women shouldn’t reveal themselves like that. What do you think its teaching our children? To go out and get pregnant so they can look cool?” (Hillary Tharp) From her comment you can see that a lot of people don’t think that some of the trends famous people set aren’t very appropriate. But some teenagers might have a different story. “ It’s not that we want to get pregnant to look cool, it’s just that all the people involved in that trend have shown us how to always look like a star. Even when we feel our worst, they have shown us that no matter what we can look sexy.” (Claire Vermont) Parents should be able to trust their children. If they’re think that their children are going and getting...

...Graduation Speech It has been a long four years, but here we are, ready to graduate. We worked hard to get to this point, but we did not do it by ourselves. We owe a huge debt of appreciation to our teachers for sharing your talent, knowledge, and time with us. We know it was your job to do it, but you made sure we stayed focused, and reached our goals. You took time to explain assignments, and allowed us to come to your classroom after school for extra help when you could have gone home to spend time with your family. You put in effort to make lessons more interesting so we would not tune out. You demanded excellence from us whether or not we wanted to give it. To our parents, thank you for supporting us in more ways than it is possible to count. You dragged us out of bed each morning, made sure we were fed and clothed for school. You made sure we was out the door on the bus stop on time, or drove us to school yourselves. You helped us with homework, paid our class fees, and listened to our complaints. You commiserated over our daily dramas, but you tried to give us enough space to learn how to work things out for ourselves. To our custodial staff and lunchroom attendants, thank you for keeping our school clean and safe. To our principal, vice principal and all the office staff, thank you for keeping things running smoothly so our teachers could concentrate on us. To our guidance counselors, thank you for listening and trying to keep us on the right track for graduation...

The country scored especially well in terms of goods and labour market efficiency and financial market development, it added.

The graduation from one outfit to six is an indication of growth and success in business. A feat that may have resulted from dedicated and hardworking staff with good performances as ascertain by Carter. While increasing the number of stores nothing was done to increase the staff wages and benefits. Some staff may get offended with such development and resign in the future. 4.) Employing Jennifer, a fresh graduate with little or no experience as a consultant and trouble shooter could smell doom in the future. Experience matters a lot; you cannot give what you don’t have. 5.) Finally, placing Jennifer above older staff with over a decade experience could engender strife and rebellion, none of these will speak well for the future of the establishment. 1-23 First thing first, if I were Jennifer, I would have love to be engaged as a junior staff to learn and acquire more knowledge in the act of the business and to study the staff and working environment before jumping to assume the exalted post of a trouble shooter and consultant.

...time. As we look at Knapp’s model we quickly come to find out that, The Break-Up, was a film primarily based in the “coming apart” stage. Throughout this paper I will focus on the stages of circumscribing, stagnating, and avoiding and how they ultimately led to the downfall of Brooke and Gary’s relationship. As we look at Knapp’s development model, what exactly does circumscribing mean? In the circumscribing stage, communication between members decreases in quantity and quality. Rather discussing a disagreement (which requires energy on both sides of the relationship), members opt for withdrawal. Circumscribing involves the shrinking interest and commitment. (Looking Out Looking In) We see a little bit of this when Brooke, as played by Jennifer Aniston, asks Gary to help her with the dishes. We can actually say that the entire family dinner at the couple’s condo was of little interest to Gary. All he was really seemed passionate about was his love for sports center and videogames. So can we say that the lack of interest and communication on Gary’s...

...Executive Summary A request for a proposal was set by Jennifer Childs, Manager of a mid-size pharmaceutical company, to her three General Managers to propose on the reinvestment of an additional profit of $2,000,000 into the company. She has strained that the proposal should lead to a reduction of cost to the company and or increase in sales. The money would be allocated to one or more of the affected areas. Proposed areas to improve on are: * The Product development department needs upgrading in more laboratory equipment and scientists but the costs involved could absorbed the whole profit amount * Production department needs to be restructured by using employee teams. This could be a good idea, the reasons are as follows: * Suggestions made by employees could be implemented * Cost not too much if work spread over a period of time The only problem we foresee is that Tyler should convinced Jennifer as the things that her father built, weigh up very high for her. * Operational department needs upgrading. Computer equipment can`t handle the volume of transactions – this would require buying new software but this could led to a loss of disruption to the legacy system. It would be suggested that this project being breakdown into phases. * A proposal was made by the Marketing manager to increase his budget to employ more sales representatives, rather than allocating funds to projects as he believe that this will increase sales.

...Influence of Visual Media Paper By: Marco Contreras There is a strong link, or interrelationship, between culture and visual entertainment media. Visual entertainment media has been used to depict, and to some extent, influence society and culture. Everything we watch on television, film and even digital gaming has influenced us in one way or another. We can easily see an array of examples of these influences. For instance, Marilyn Monroe was considered a huge “sex symbol.” Visual media created this image of her as the “ideal woman,” thus many other women at the time began to imitate her and her style. Another example is the singer and actress Jennifer Lopez. At one point in time, being “anorexic skinny” was what every woman aspired to be. This changed thanks to the exposure of Jennifer Lopez through visual entertainment media. Her “curvy” body became the “ideal” much like Marilyn Monroe was during her time. As such, many women began to change their concept of what is “sexy” or the “ideal woman.” Unfortunately, not all visual entertainment media’s influence on society has been positive. There have been saddening examples, such as the appearance of the television show “Sixteen and Pregnant.” Instead of learning from the show, young teenage girls began to imitate this behavior. Next thing we know, there was a wave of teenage girls getting pregnant across the country. We see all these music video where sex, drugs, and alcohol are glamorized. Kids think that...

...Music, Poetry, Passion… Biko Kennedy Youthlink Writer Album: Love? Artiste: Jennifer Lopez Label: Island Def Jam Music Group Genre: POP/ Dance Release Date: May 3, 2011 About the Album: For many fans of Jennifer Lopez, Love? has been a long time coming. This being the seventh studio album may be her most personal to date, encompassing inspiration from the birth of her twins and her own experiences with love. The highlighted theme throughout the album courses the examination, questioning and discovery of the diverse sides and avenues of love and relationships. It's been a long and twisty road for Love?, having started recording the album in 2009 with an original release date for the project set for January 2010 to coincide with Lopez’s latest film “The Back-up Plan”. However following the lack of success with lead single Louboutins, Lopez and Sony Music Entertainment decided to end their ten year partnership leaving the fate of Love? with Island Def Jam, which boasts an impressive roster of A-list songwriters and producers (such as RedOne and Lady Gaga), as well as guest performers. Here’s a track-by-track rundown: 1. On the Floor (Ft. Pitbull) This moderately-catchy track, aimed for the dance floor, became J.Lo’s first Top 10 hit in eight years. It’s one of the album’s strongest singles, having a bit of a capricious vibe, containing a sample of Los Kjarkas’ song Llorando Se Fue, which was made popular in the Kaoma single Lambada. Lyrically, it follows the typical ‘get...
