...Rachel Luo M/W 9:30am-10:45am 9/29/2011 In Spite of Women – Esquire Magazine and the construction of Male Consumer Rhetorical Analysis One During early thirties and forties which was right after the depression, government and corporate felt the necessity to revive the market. At that time, people thought women were the ones with dominating consumption powers. As Kenon Breazeale quoted in his article, “Women are indeed the shoppers of the world.” (Breazeale, 231). However, some people such as those in journalism fraternity regarded women’s buying power as “gullible vulnerability to consumerism’s trashy faddishness” (Breazeale, 232). Those people spread wide hostility toward women’s taste and argued that men should be the ones with dominating consumption powers. In this article, Breazeale’s purpose is to make people better understand how some people tried to court man as the main audience in the marketplace under a phenomenon which women were regarded with the major consumption powers. To better achieve his purpose, Breazeale specifically focused on a male targeted magazine Esquire to analyze how it was constructed to attract male audiences. Breazeale argued that Esquire was the first comprehensive magazine which attempted to manipulate and reconceptualize its audiences and targeted men as consumers. He first discussed how Esquire manipulated text to get rid of femininity factors associated in the market which it planned to open for male readers, by using “lifestyle” sector...

...Crane covers the entire war from an air perspective, despite his possible biases from twenty-six years in the Army. A graduate of the United States Military Academy, Crane also taught there as a Professor of History for nine years. With a strong background in the Army, he understands the importance of tactical air support, but does not allow this to overshadow the importance of airpower on its own. The thesis of the book revolves around the importance of the Korean War for the fledgling Air Force and what they were able to accomplish with limited resources. The book begins with a summary of events from before the war. Airpower played a key role in...

Skrzynecki, using the powerful textual vehicle of poetry explores the importance of the journeying process and its various outcomes, a journey often results in the confused and mixed emotions of the traveller and this was reflected within Skrzynecki's poems, "Crossing the Red Sea" and "A Drive in the Country." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step..." The importance of the journeying process, and the positive and negative outcomes of the journey, is not so much about the destination to which the travellers are headed, but the various occurrences that affect the traveller along the way. The importance of the journeying process was explored and exposed by Peter Skrzynecki and a variety of other composers. Skrzynecki, using the powerful textual vehicle of poetry explores the importance of the journeying process and its various outcomes, a journey often results in the confused and mixed emotions of the traveller and this was reflected within Skrzynecki's poems, "Crossing the Red Sea" and "A Drive in the Country."

...Source 1 is an extremely useful source as it is a primary source that speaks of why the national alcohol prohibition was put in place. To work out why this whole idea of an alcohol ban backfired you need to track down why it started. Wheeler perfectly describes how the law fitted in with the constitution and what it’s rise to become the eighteenth amendment meant for citizens of the United States. This source is a direct summary of the supreme court’s decision. Source 2- Cartoon in newspaper Another primary source, this source is useful though as it gathers all the main themes from that time period and puts it all in one drawing for the people of that day and age to think of. In the drawing we can see the prohibition party (A strong, determined man) chopping down a tree labeled saloon with his axe (votes). The more the prohibition party attacks, the more the saloons are going to be chopped down. In the background another man (not fairly strong) is chasing the “woodman” and preaching for him to stop. The character depictions give us an idea of how strong the political parties were back then and how such a ban came to be. Source 3- Propaganda poster Source 3 is useful as it is a good indication of why the prohibition had high votes. Propaganda. The primary source poster shows a big, greedy liquor trafficker against a helpless woman and her three kids, basically bringing up the notion that going against alcohol prohibition was going against your family. The propaganda poster played...

...Why was the Romanov Dynasty overthrown in February 1917? The Romanovs were a family that had ruled over Russia in complete autocratic fashion for over 300 years, however in February 1917, Nicholas II, the current Tsar, abdicated, and his brother refused the thrown. I think that it was a multitude of different factors that truly brought the Romanov Dynasty to an end, however, in my opinion the factor that truly encompassed all other factors into one fatal blow for the dynasty of his family, was the poor decision-making, stubbornness and ultimately the failures of Nicholas II as Tsar. The other factors and causes of the collapse of the Romanov Dynasty were the alienation that the Tsar created towards almost every sector of society, including the Duma, and the growing opposition that this resulted in, the First World War and its influences on society, and the also the large levels of instability that arose in the government around this time. Firstly, an important factor that must be discussed was the instable government in Russia at this point. Over the period from 1915 to 1916, Russia had seen 6 Ministers of Defence and 6 Interior Ministers. This highlights a number of different major issues in Russia at this point. Firstly it showed a fundamental lack of trust between the Tsar and his ministers. This could be taken further to show that therefore the Russian people may see the Tsar as incapable of change and fundamentally untrusting of politicians, as can be seen by his name-calling...

...Disney’s company firmly in mind. The letter offers suggestive insight to the world as Disney made sense of it. The paper contributes to understanding the use of rhetoric by top management in activities related to aspects of financial accountability and reporting. It also helps to understand better a significant public persona of the 20th century, Walt Disnev. Acknowledgment The authors wish to acknowledge the helpful comments of the reviewers. SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Analysis of annual reports, including letters by CEOs to stockholders, has a long history in management and accounting literatures. Discourse by CEOs is important not only because of the power that corporate leaders wield in their own organizations, but also because of their political and cultural influence generally. Since such discourse may be viewed as a form of sense making [Weick, 1995], its study also has value because the CEO...
