...& Rhetoric March 27, 2013 Old Spice Advertisements are a powerful thing. They persuade the reader to think what they want them to think, want what they want them to want and believe what they want them to believe. When a company produces a commercial, their main goal is to get their product they are showcasing to sell. According to BusinessDictionary.com, advertising is, “the activity or profession of producing information for promoting the sale of commercial products or services”. Old Spice is a prominent American brand of male hygienic products. The first Old Spice product was intended for women, introduced in 1937. Old Spice for men followed in 1938. The first advertisement I chose was published in 1945 the advertisement shows a man’s shaving kit with the logo “FOR THAT AMERICAN FEELING OF WELL BEING”. The second advertisement I chose was published in 2010 this advertisement is for a man’s deodorant with the logo “Residue is Evil STOP IT”. The Old Spice advertisements capture men by reaching out to their needs and giving them the ideal of what they should smell like. The first advertisement is focused mainly on the product, which is the first thing you notice when you look at this advertisement. The top half of the backdrop is black, which allows the product to standout. The products are displayed staggered. In the top left corner you see two bright red boxes with the white bottles of Old Spice Talcum for men and Old Spice After- Shave Lotion in front of them...

...1.1 Introduction Spices are the imperative ingredient to make food tasty and delicious. It is the most common and important ingredient for food items of our daily consumption. A Bangladeshi cannot think of a meal without using spices, it is our food habit and tradition. The history of spice is almost as old as human civilization. It is a history of lands discovered, empires built and brought down, wars won and lost, treaties signed and flouted, flavors sought and offered, and the rise and fall of different religious practices and beliefs. Spices were among the most valuable items of trade in ancient and medieval times. As long ago as 3500 BC the ancient Egyptians were using various spices for flavoring food, in cosmetics, and for embalming their dead. The use of spices spread through the Middle East to the eastern Mediterranean and Europe. Spices from China, Indonesia, India, and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) were originally transported overland by donkey or camel caravans. For almost 5000 years, Arab intermediaries controlled the spice trade, until European explorers discovered a sea route to India and other spice producing countries in the East. 1.2 Background of the Study The report has done to complete the partial fulfillment of Effective Business Communication for Managers (EMBA_504) course.

...Research Essay Proposal Topic: Spice Girls and the normalizing spread of girl power Using Spice Girls as a point of study, I intend to research the spread in American popular culture of the ‘girl power’ phenomenon. It would discuss the nature of the idea (that female appearance and sensuality, and equality need not be mutually exclusive), how the concept relates to perceptions of gender roles and power through the lens of girl culture (for mainly the tween and teen groups) and the ways in which Spice Girls – as a major cultural phenomenon of the 1990s – promoted and normalized the idea. Depending on available information and depending on what the word count will allow, the essay will also look into the origins of the idea within pop (eg. Riot Grrrl, statements by Madonna, etc) and touch upon critiques of the supposed feminist aspects of the girl power movement, linking it to materialistic and consumerist norms of American and western culture.

...Spices; they come in a host of flavors, used in a variety of ways, and can be found in just about everything we eat. Whether it is the hot chili peppers or the ground substance we use to flavor our dishes, their use has become synonymous with the food signature of cultures around the world. Though the words hot and spicy are often used interchangeably, they may not always refer to the same thing. Wherein spice is a general term that pertain to any dried seed, fruit, root, bark, or vegetable substance and is primarily used for flavoring, coloring or preserving food (Wikipedia, 2014). Heat, on the other hand, is a more specific term associated with the pepper variety and other fruits that contain the active ingredient capsaicin, which is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU), also known as the Scoville scale (eatmorechiles, 2014). But why do people eat hot spicy foods? Whether they enjoy a little zing or crave the full burning sensation whenever they indulge in a hot dish; the answer may lie in several cultural and biological reasons. Cultures around the world have long valued food as part of their heritage. They incorporated spices to mark their flavor, resembling the cultural diversity, and even corresponding to the type environment where it has originated to some extent. We also take a look at some of the health benefits associated with eating spicy foods. Some research indicates that eating spicy foods can lower your calorie intake and speed up your metabolism...

...Curry: Where did it come from? Spices found in a lamb vindaloo were also found in food remains dating back 4,000 years Curry is such a British favourite, the UK celebrates National Curry Week, but how was the food invented? The UK has adopted curry as a "national dish", with more than 9,000 Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi restaurants and the creation of British-Asian dishes such as chicken tikka masala and balti, says the National Curry Week website. It says about 23 million people eat curry regularly. Since its inception, the word curry has "changed its meaning and become universal as a menu word", says Alan Davidson, in the Oxford Companion to Food. Once it just meant Indian food, but "it now denotes various kinds of dish in numerous different parts of the world, but all are savoury and all are spiced," it reads. "Everywhere the cuisine is enjoyed has its own variations and peculiarities," says the National Curry Week spokesperson. An English cookbook, The Forme of Cury, was published in the 1390s, and all hot food was called "cury" from the French word cuire, meaning to cook. Alan Davidson writes however that curry comes from the Tamil word kari, or spiced sauce, which was originally a thin, soup-like, spiced dressing served in southern India, amongst many other stew-like dressings for meat and vegetables. The most complex and sophisticated puree sauces are made in Asia and Mexico. The sauce or "gravy" for many Indian and Thai dishes begins with finely ground...

...Tampico spice company was established in 1947 by a man named Jesus Martinez. Jesus Martinez was born in California before the stock market crash of 1929. During his upbringing Mr. Martinez was raised in poverty, however he continued to keep his faith in life that things one day will turn around for the best for him and his family. Mr. Martinez bought his first set of spices with what little money he could scrape up. He would go door to door selling his home packed spices in his neighborhood and surrounding markets. His little profit soon became double that, and soon after the beginning of his empire began. As time passed he increased his spices by a number of known and un-known mixtures that soon after became very popular. He later introduced herbs that helped with many home remedies to help alleviate certain body discomforts. For example one of his herbs that his Tampico brand produces is “Cilantro seeds”. The first time I seen this herb was when my wife went out and purchased a pack of it. I asked her what it’s for and she said that its to help relax the irritability of a colic prone infant. I watched her boil one tablespoon of the seeds and when it cools to the infants liking give it to him in a form of a tea. She gave it to my son. I was really thinking oh my god this is not going to work. Too much of my surprise my son within a few minutes was relaxed and was burping up a storm, that night my son had a good night’s sleep. I was leary about her giving my...

...The Curiosity Every morning during the spring and fall semesters I would take I-27 south bound. Making my daily commute to WT, I would always pass by this random building that caught my eye. So much so that I was intrigued to find out what was inside. The outside of said building had two large jalapenos with the name "Willy's" on it. I thought to myself, maybe this is a chiles market or something...either way I wanted to go in! My palate for spice is exceptionally high from the average person so it would have been a plus if they served spicy foods. Stepping Into The Unknown Come to find out, this place was actually a restaurant. I didn't know it at the time but I stumbled upon an amazing hidden gem. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff treats you like family once you walk into the door. It makes sense that they are a locally owned and operated business. The walls are filled with old West Texas memorabilia ranging from paintings of the high plains to Native American Chiefs in traditional clothing, six shooters and rifles staked into the wooden beams. Everything in here screams authentic southern culture. Saddling Up Kicking my experience here up a notch I finally decided what I wanted to order. Glancing at the menu, I immediately went for the "Green Chile Willy's Chicken Fry". Ladies and gentlemen I swear to you this has got to be the best chicken fried steak I've ever eaten.Boom son! The juicy steak was fried to a crisp perfection (golden). It laid...
