...Alghazali, 1 Sally Alghazali Professor Josh Hall English 109 23 February 2015 How Good Do I Have to Look? How many times people looked in the mirror and wanted to change the way they look? Many people are not satisfied with how they look and want to change their appearance constantly. The reason behind this unsatisfied feeling is because of our society’s obsession with physical appearance. From a very young age, people are being forced to look in a certain way, and to be judged according certain standards in order to be defined beautiful. The obsession of beauty has brought a huge transformation in people’s perspective about their appearance, and made people become more concern about their outer beauty than anything else. During history the standards of beauty had changed significantly and people have altered the concept of “beautiful”. The word beautiful does not hold one concept anymore. The definition of beauty is changing according to what the society preserve as beautiful and attractive. People have hopped from one side of spectrum to another in terms of beauty. For instant, in ancient Egypt, Cleopatra was considered as amazingly beautiful queen, but with today’s standards she would be known as unattractive women for her large nose. Women in the 1900 used to look curvy in order for them to be defined “beautiful”. However today, the idol look for women’s body is to be very thin and tall – Model fashionable body-. The standards of these traits have changed...

...Lord Acton stated that “power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely”. This statement seems to look at every individual into one singular group, that if one has had a negative outcome with obtaining power that they all will. Though there are individuals that have abused their power and corruption was eventually the outcome, not all people will follow in the same footsteps. When reflecting on the statement that Lord Acton made, I do believe that power can lead to corruption, but not necessarily every individual will fall to victim to this. With power comes certain responsibility to lead others on a positive and uplifting path, never giving in to one’s own accord. Especially with “new” power, one can easily lose their morals in the pursuit of more power. This is greed and can lead to thief, lies, and total corruption. I believe that this comes from not only power, but the monetary reward that comes with power. Unfortunately more people than most strive to become the best not for bragging rights or to help others, but for the money flow that will be created from the power they obtain. Ego will also come into play, behaving as though others cannot compare to them, in this they are losing the ability to successfully lead and falling further into the corruption. According to the science and technology psychology, “to call someone “a little Hitler” meant he was a menial functionary who employed what power he had in order to annoy and frustrate others for his own gratification...

...Decision Tree Gerber Product Company A. Background of the Company: Gerber was founded in 1927 in Fremont, Michigan by Daniel Frank Gerber, owner of the Fremont Canning Company, which produced canned fruit and vegetables. At the suggestion of a pediatrician, Gerber's wife Dorothy Gerber began making hand-strained food for their seven-month-old daughter, Sally. Recognising a business opportunity, Gerber began making baby food. By 1928 he had developed five products for the market and six months later, Gerber's baby foods were distributed nationwide. The brand eventually became a major company in the baby food industry, offering more than 190 products in 80 countries, with labeling in 16 languages and controls eighty-three percent (83%) of the baby food market in the United States. In 1994 Gerber merged with Sandoz Laboratories. Two years later, Sandoz merged with CIBA-Geigy to form Novartis, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. In 2007 Gerber was sold to Nestle for $5.5 billion. In 1960 Gerber started selling its baby food in glass jars, which often found new life as household storage, especially in home workshops.

Sally, “Sarah” Hemings was the slave and mistress to Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States of America. She was the mother of Thomas Jefferson’s six children he fathered with her.

...Thomas Jefferson was the main author of the Declaration of Independence. He was additionally the third president, therefore, he had a huge influence on America. Jefferson was a governor in Virginia. He believed in independence, but even so, was additionally a slave-owner. [3] Nicholas Wade (1999) gave a frolicsome fact that “Most people at the meeting agreed that DNA data reported last November, along with the available historical evidence, now makes it between probable and almost certain that Jefferson had a hidden family with Sally Hemings, one of his slaves. The DNA data showed that at least one Hemings descendant bore the same Y chromosome as that of the Jefferson family.” After he retired, Jefferson hit the road to his Virginia plant, Monticello, where he later founded the University of Virginia. He is a very special character, but one of his most special works was the Declaration of Independence....

...My "Eight Cow" Bracelet "Beauty is only skin deep" was a phrase I heard quite often during my awkward childhood. When I was a baby, I had two chins, Michelin Tire legs, and hair that stuck straight up even though it was easily over two inches long. My mom would often dress me in only a diaper on hot days inspiring my uncle to label me with the name of "Marshmallow Butt." It was a name he was quite fond of calling me, even years later. As I grew, the double chin turned into one and a half, the legs stretched into colonial columns, and the hair eventually lay flat. This all happened just in time for puberty-acne and my first training bra when I was only ten. It was during this transitional point in my life that my father began to teach me a valuable and significant lesson regarding beauty and the power of words. During my childhood, my family indulged in a weekly ritual we called family night. We used this time for various activities. We would hold family councils where we truly believed we had a say in important subjects. We would play games and have lessons such as "being kind to your family" or some other moral issue of the time. Sometimes we would sing songs, hear stories from Dad who could rival Mark Twain any day, or spend an hour to two eating ice cream and playing at the park. I am the second child and oldest daughter in a family of ten children, so these weekly "get-togethers" rarely went without some type of fiasco. These fiascoes varied from kicking at...

...Beauty Overlooked Priscilla Sisneros Central New Mexico Community College Beauty is often associated with wealth, good looks, a nice body or some physical characteristic that is attractive. From the minute you turn on your TV you see into a world that admires fame and wealth. Commercials portray a picture of sexy men and women with big smiles on their faces living it up. Billboards throughout any city I have ever passed through have attractive people on them in hopes that their “beauty” will gain your attention long enough to read what they are selling. Is this the true beauty that brings happiness to people? As a society we have become so superficial that we forget about what really matters, the beauty that people possess on the inside. The story “A very Old Man with Enormous Wings” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez depicts a story of a fallen angel that is molting, ugly, burdensome, and considered a circus freak. However, the deeper you read into the story you soon began to realize that this anomaly of nature is there for a reason. He was Pelayo and Elisenda’s child’s guardian angel that they assumed was there to take their child. “Frightened by the nightmare, Pelayo ran to get Elisenda, his wife, who was putting compresses on the sick child.” “He’s an angel,” she told them. “He must have been coming for the child but the poor fellow is so old that the rain knocked him down.” Garcia wrote (2013). However, as you continue to read into the story you see that the angel’s inner beauty...

...A Matter of Beauty “Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.” – Saint Augustine. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines beauty as “the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the sense or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit”. However, what do we as society define beauty as? Doesn’t beauty depend on our own personal opinion? The media has convinced many people in society that beauty is only skin deep, but there is more to the matter. There are two main types of beauty, inner and outer beauty. In my opinion, inner beauty is more important than outer beauty because it is lasting instead of transient. Outer beauty is the easiest kind of beauty a person can notice. When meeting a person we don’t know for the first time, we often find ourselves intrigued at the sight of them. In this case, however, we are only analyzing his/her outer beauty. While physical beauty is alluring and possibly the drive behind why most people choose to interact with each other, many times someone considered “beautiful” can also have a malicious personality. A well known English classic, “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding, gives a perfect example of why inner beauty is lasting and outer beauty is transient. The story is about a group of school boys stranded on an uninhabited island. They must create their own “adult free” society. The sophisticated novel reflects the nature of human beings through the boys’ makeshift...

...S******* Engl 1201 – 17 Chapter Four Paper October 11, 2013 Beauty Lies Within The Eyes Of The Beholder The year is now 2010 and as we enter this new decade, we encounter so many new trends, fashion and styles. No matter what your budget might be, it seems like everyone has the same goal in mind. They want to be beautiful and look “beautiful.” Grace Suh’s essay, “Eye of the Beholder,” details her struggle as a Korean girl to conform to a Western ideal of beauty. After her makeover, Suh felt negated and also felt like a stranger was staring back at her when she looked at herself in the mirror. Finally, she realizes that she was content with the way she naturally looked, which causes her to leave the makeup behind her on the commuter train. To me, beauty is not only something that pleases the eyes, but also pleases the other senses and the mind. I think true beauty makes you see beyond the lovely sight. It will give you insight or realization of something interesting beyond just the outward appearance. Think about the word beautiful for a moment, when we talk about beauty in people, we often refer to their physical attractiveness. Of course, a beautiful or handsome face is pleasant to look at. But I find that the most memorable "beautiful people" are the ones who have captivating personalities behind the beautiful faces. In my high school graduating class, there were two girls whose beauty just stood out among the rest, Chelsea and Tressa. Both had almost...
