...argue that its successes have brainwashed consumers into spending money on items that they do not need. Many people also believe that advertising does not effectively sell products, it simply persuades the population to buy, buy, buy. I will discuss three areas of advertising to show advertising and consumerism is good and bad. The world of advertising shows many products that are displayed by companies to try and get consumers to purchase it. Lutz, William. “The World of Advertising” Dialogues. Ed Gary Goshgarian. Boston: Massachusetts, 2003. 319. Print. When sales or coupons are advertised, it helps consumers save money. Advertising has no boundaries. It ranges from clothing, vehicles, food restaurants, health, medicines, groceries, utility services, electronics, furniture, cigarettes, alcohol, books, and the list go on. We are given choices on different brand names of products. They are selling their products to help consumers. For example: Diet companies try to push their products not only make money, but to help consumers lose weight. The argument that has...

...Reformed Apologetics Ministries Monday, March 17, 2014 Historical Examination of Roman Catholic Eucharist Theology Rome claims her view is historical. We will now examine if the early church writers taught transubstantiation of the bread and wine as well as the Mass being seen as an expiatory and propitiatory sacrifice. Rome has erroneously claimed her modern view has always been held by the historic church. At the Council of Trent Rome taught her belief was affirmed by “all our forefathers” (Thirteenth Session, Chapter 1, The Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent, trans. H. J. Schroeder, [TAN Books and Publishers, 1978], p. 73), that is, church fathers. Trent also claimed, “because that Christ, our Redeemer, declared that which He offered under the species of bread to be truly His own body, therefore has it ever been a firm belief in the Church of God” (Thirteen Session, Chapter 4, The Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent, trans. H. J. Schroeder, [TAN Books and Publishers, 1978], p. 75). We will therefore test Rome’s claims historically. Rome’s idea ahistorical & based on Aristotelian concepts adopted late by the church. Rome’s doctrine of transubstantiation is dependent on the pagan Aristotle’s philosophical idea of accidents and substance. Modern Rome’s specific view as espoused by the Fourth Lateran Council and the Council of Trent, as well as other papal documents, that the substance of the elements change into the body and blood of Christ, while the appearance...

...Instead of being robots, the students are actively engaged with their learning because they are able to better connect with the material and see purpose in what they are doing in school. In problem posing “people develop their power to perceive critically the way they exist in the world with which and in which they find themselves.” What this means is that problem posing allows students to fully discover themselves which is something that is hindered in the banking method. If people are just going to school because they have to, they are less likely to be engaged whereas if they are able to discover themselves in the process then they will be more inclined to do their best in school. One example was my Hip Hop and spoken word elective in which the entirety of the class was based on honest expression, asking questions, and thinking about creative ways to solve many of the problems faced in our communities and the world in general. Everyone in that class was actively engaged and we did a lot in terms of creative projects in just 4...

...The two men approach her. A live orchestra is playing tango music in the background. Charlie tells Frank that the restaurant has a large dance floor. Frank then asks the woman if she would like to learn how to tango. She accepts his offer and Charlie directs him to the dance floor. This scene is an example of diegetic music, where the characters in the film can hear the music being played (Yale, para. 5). The cinematography used to put this film together relies on two types of shots. One shot is a close-up, featuring only one person. In the most compelling scenes of the film, Thorin zoomed in very closely to the actor's face. In one shot, Thorin zoomed so closely to Charlie's face that the viewer can see a tear streaming down his cheek. When Frank talks, the shot often is a close-up of him. These shots enable the viewer to look directly at the character, as if he or she were looking into the character's eyes. This technique creates a very compelling film and makes the acting look much more...

...European usage” (5). Fitzgerald claims that people have “self-consciously attempted to transform the meaning of religion…and extend it as a cross-cultural category” (Fitzgerald 5). The problem is that people have been incorrectly labeling cross-cultural categories under one term ‘religion,’ that imbues Western Christian views that do not accurately reflect the principles of many cultures. According to Fitzgerald, “working with the blurred and yet ideologically loaded concept of ‘religion’ as a starting point can confuse and impoverish analysis…encourage the uncritical imposition of Judaeo-Christian assumptions on non-western data, and generally maximize our chances of misunderstanding.” This means that explaining Islam to someone, for example, under the category ‘religion’ will imbue Western bias, as the concept of religion now generally reflects Christian view, therefore will misconstrue data about Islam....

...Surname Instructor Course Date Charlie Chaplin; The Prominent comedian Introduction During the silent era, films had did not have harmonized recorded sound and also spoken dialogue. The dialogue was through use of signals, mime and title cards. There were a lot of technical problems that resulted from trying to coordinate motion pictures with recorded sound and this is why during the silent era (1894–1929) most films remained “silent” until the late 1920s when the first film was released with sound and it became the order of the day until now. The advantage of the silent films is that they provided inexpensive entertainment and also overcame the verbal barriers for immigrants who had had just migrated to America in the early 1920s. One of the most prominent film stars during the silent era was Charlie Chaplin, who was born on 16 April, 1889 in London, England as Charles Spencer Chaplin; he died on the 25th December 1977 as a result of natural reasons. He was born from a very humble family, and his parents were also involved in the entertainment industry and this is why he started of his career at the tender age. During his American tour, he was spotted by Mark Sennet, who was a famous comedy director. He had two half-brothers who were also film actors; Sydney Chaplin and Wheeler Dryden and was the husband to Mildred Harris, who he divorced in 1920 and got married again to an actresses Lita Grey with whom...

...On February 28, 1953, Francis Crick, the co-discoverer of the DNA molecule, bolted into the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, England, and proclaimed that he and his colleague, James Watson, had solved one of the greatest mysteries of human existence. “We have found the secret of life!” those in the pub remember him saying. And with that proclamation, the human species began a new era in understanding ourselves and our relationship to our world. The rest, as they say aloud, is history. And while the discovery of the DNA molecule itself is, without a doubt, a pivotal event in the quest to know ourselves, it also opened the door to an even greater possibility with even greater implications—the possibility of an intelligent design that forms the core of our existence. When Watson, Crick, and others in the scientific community first recognized the pattern of the DNA molecule, they were immediately struck by its beauty, its elegance, and its simplicity. And as scientists they could not deny its unmistakable order. For such a molecule to exist, sustain itself, correct/heal the errors that it finds within itself, and perpetuate itself for millions of years, suggests that some kind of cosmic blueprint is involved. And for some people, these undeniable facts imply that DNA is intentional— that something, or someone, created the code of life. While there are many theories and much speculation, the fact is that we simply don’t know for certain how DNA originated, or why it showed up on Earth. And...

...wanted the job but I let her apply for it. Selfish: On page 80 Tina Fey knew getting the job would be great for Donna and let her try to get it. However, she waited a little bit but “Enough was enough. I was going to have to steal that office job from Donna.” Tina knew what was right but couldn’t take it and know tries to steal the office job away from Donna that she wanted desperately. Rhetorical devices and imagery. Tina Fey uses imagery by describing Donna “she worked the phones. A heavyset redheaded gal with no makeup ad big fleshy hands, Donna was harder to play opposite. Generally, if she was complaining about some work situation, you could pass the time b agreeing with her, but it had to be done in a specific way.” (page 71) This example describes the physical characteristics of Donna and her personality. On page 73 she describes a man: “The guy in charge of the residence was a big doughy bald guy whose last name had more consonants in it than I have in this book. I always thought he had the hardest job. He had to deal with all of these gentlemen and whatever their complicated, depressing backstories were. He seemed to have a lot of compassion, but he also had to be tough and kick people out sometimes.” This man was one of the executives that Tina Fey was applying for a job at. Tina Fey describes the “midnight cooking demonstration.” “The boys are back playing the steel drums by the pool bar, but now the music seems creepy, like when children sing in a horror movie or...

Research There is no quick path to success in the new era of customer engagement. Progress is likely to come incrementally—by listening to customers, making adjustments to engagement strategies, and learning through trial and error. Since diverse perspectives will be essential to mastering this new landscape, McKinsey’s Luke Collins, Tom French, and Paul Magill recently sought out three practitioners with very different vantage points on marketing’s future. Virgin Atlantic Airways CEO Steve Ridgway talks about how his company recently has been pushing the boundaries of collaborating with customers, while experiencing the pleasant surprise of a successful mass-media campaign. American Express CMO John Hayes discusses what today’s “marketing revolution” means and describes some of the organizational steps he has taken to get ahead of it. Duncan Watts, principal research scientist of the Human Social Dynamics group at Yahoo! Research, explains how today’s data-rich environment exposes the limits of intuition in marketing and the need to take a scientific approach to understanding consumers. A summary of those conversations follows. 2 The CEO Virgin Atlantic Airways’ Steve Ridgway If we get our customers...

...1 The Great No-No If you picked up this book because of difficulties in your own relationship, then your simple act indicates two important things about you. First, it signifies that you’re feeling some pain. I’m not talking about the obviously physical, just-cut-your-finger kind of pain. I’m talking about the kind of pain that hurts somewhere in your spirit. But even though your pain is spiritual, it can still be described in physical terms. If your relationship is in acute crisis, then the pain may feel sharp and piercing. Or if your frustration is chronic, then the pain may feel like a dull ache or perhaps an empty, hungry kind of sensation. Another possibility is a stifling, suffocating kind of feeling. You may associate it with your chest, your heart, the pit of your stomach, the back of your neck or even your head. But wherever you feel it, whether it’s subtle or intense, you’re still feeling some form of pain. You may also have the disturbing sense that your life wasn’t supposed to turn out this way. You started this marriage with dreams that you hoped your relationship would fulfill. You wanted love, respect, and a soul-mate with whom you could share life’s experiences. You not only wanted to be nurtured, but you wanted to be appreciated for being the loving person you always knew you could be. You wanted the opportunity to let your love unfold, and now you fear that the opportunity is passing you by. The second thing indicated by your picking up this book is that you...

...[pic] Dear Educator, Thank you for your interest in the change, growth and empowerment of Native Youth Education. This curriculum was developed specifically for educators in the state of Maine’s public high schools who wish to use this guide as a tool to improve Native Youth Education. NEG (Native Education Guide) provides lesson ideas and examples that support current lesson structures as well as implementing a culturally appropriate material for the Native Student. While many Native Education curriculums exist, NEG is designed to adapt to the block scheduling of the Public High School in Maine. This curriculum recognizes the appropriate education material needed for its intended audience, which focuses on the tribes of Maine whose youth attend Public High School. NEG aims to provide its learners with a set of educational experiences that encourages empowerment and positive Native identity through community education. Native Education is the study of the human, tribal, environmental, historical and social experience of the Natives of Maine. Native Education is very complex with a lot of variables such as time, space, place and the students; NEG therefore focuses on a number of messages: - Community Building - Seventh Generation Sustainability, Economics and Ecology - School Education Policies and Institutions (Boarding Schools to Current Education Models) - Colonization and the “White Expansion” - Cultural Appropriation - Native Ritual, Ceremonies...
