...Dying To Be Thin 47% of young girls reported that they wanted to lose weight because of pictures in magazines that they saw. Movies, magazines, and the media all contribute to girls not being comfortable in their bodies because of airbrushing the models or making the actors excessively workout or diet to get to a specific size. Famous people are supposed to be role models to teen girls, but the way the famous people are portrayed actually makes young girls not love their bodies and themselves. As girls reach a certain age, they begin to look at their bodies differently and want to see a change. These girls will try anything like dieting, diet pills, or even starving themselves to see this change, but the emotional and physical effects are never thought of when trying to lose weight a certain way. Average sized people should be portrayed more in the media because of the medias impact on body image perception of young women. Anorexia is a disease that involves unusual eating habits and self-starvation. The people who are affected are mostly young women, but people of either gender can become anorexic at any age. The most common cases of anorexia are found in young females, athletes, and people portrayed in the media. There are many physical effects that an anorexic person will experience. Weak bones are a common negative effect which really hurts an athlete. Hair loss and skin discoloration are other effects that effect both men and women. Other diseases can result from anorexia...

...Based on our knowledge of our daughter, Dominique’s experience at Archer has been very beneficial to her overall development as a person. Prior to Dominique’s attendance at Archer, she had not been exposed to nearly half the extracurricular activities offered by the school as her elementary school did not offer any. We were excited for her new journey but a little concerned, thinking she might have to get use to all of the newness: new school, new area, new friends, and that it might take her a minute to find her way because she had been in the same school, located within 15 minutes from our home, with the same friends since kindergarten. However, she entered Archer in the 7th grade ready to experience new things, meet those new friends...

...disagreements surrounding would-be amputees based on their state of mind, reasoning and rationality. We will further discuss types of disorders focusing on would-be amputees, as well as the issues surrounding such demands. Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), is a condition in which the individual believes, incorrectly, that a part of their body is diseased or exceedingly ugly. For some, that may be an uneven smile, but for others, it may be a leg or an arm. Those suffering from BDD are constantly focused on their perceived flaws until they find a way to correct the imperfection. Nevertheless, they may never find the satisfaction they strive for. Secondly, apotemnophilia, a branch of paraphilia, is a disorder that may be used to our understanding of wannabe amputees’ attraction to the idea of becoming an amputee themselves. Those suffering from apotemnophilia fantasize about having a missing limb. These fantasies may convince an individual that voluntary amputation would achieve their goals for the missing limb. There have been cases of individuals that have been known to intentionally cause damage to their limbs to have them amputated. On the other hand, we now focus more on how disorders affect the view of the body itself. Bayne and Levy explained that would-be amputees may suffer from Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID), also known as Amputee Identity Disorder (Bayne and Levy, 02). Those that suffer from BIID feel as if their bodies are unsuccessful in conforming to the experience of...

...Mean Girls (2004) Mean girls 2004, was directed by Mark Waters. Based of a book by Rosalind Wiseman “Queen Bees and Wannabes” and screenplay by Tina Fey. The movie was first developed by Tina Fey, calling Saturday Night Live’s producer Lorne Michaels to suggest Queen Bees and Wannabes if it could be turned into a film. Borrowing elements from the book, she then rewrote the plot from her own high school experience. Lindsay Lohan first read Regina George’s line but the casting team felt like she was more fitting into their Cady’s character and that it would harm her reputation at that time. Rachel McAdams was casted because Tina Fey felt her being “kind and polite made her perfect for an evil-spirited character. Amanda Seyfried also read lines for Regina’s role but the producers suggested her for Karen due to her “spacey and silly sense of humor”. Lacey Chabert and...

...En Wannabe Tigermor En Wannabe Tigermor af Malene Lei Raben. I artiklen en wannabe tigermor, starter Malene Lei Raben med at fortælle hvordan danske medier har valgt at ignorerer begrebet og på den måde fremvise hvor lidt konkurrence plaget det danske samfund anno 2011. den eftertragtede tigermor Amy Chuas, har tydeligvis vakt stor interesse fra det vestlige samfund når det kommer til børneopdragelse i en konkurrencepræget verden. Der bliver skrevet om hvordan den vestlige ungdom bruger mere tid på deres venner, samt computer og andre måder at spilde tiden på, ting som de unge ikke får noget ud af ifølge Amy Chuas. Men på trods af at det alt sammen lyder meget koldt og kynisk ser det hvert fald ud til at virke hvis man altså går efter de unges færdigheder. Hele tigermor metoden stiller igen spørgsmålstegn ved om det er den rigtig måde at behandle sine børn og kollegaer på, en måske meget hård og kold måde at behandle folk på men det virker åbenbart meget positivt på nogle mennesker. Dermed siger jeg ikke at jeg er enig i den måde Amy Chuas og resten af Asien håndtere deres børn og unge på, det kan godt være at de scorer de højeste karakterer i skolen angående læsning og skrivning, men der er trods alt mere i livet end det som for eksempel at nyde sin barndom og kunne tåle et nederlag engang imellem, ingen kan klare at være nummer et både i skolen og foran klaveret uden at tage sig til hoved engang imellem. Man må også huske på at der er kæmpe forskel på fx Danmark og Kina...

...Shefali Sharma FY-25 MBA Final Year AUD Book Review We are like that only: Understanding the Logic of Consumer India By Shefali Sharma We are like that only is a book which is trying to analyze the buying behavior of Indian consumers. This book is written by Rama Bijapurkar who is one of India’s most respected thought leaders and has a rich and varied experience in business strategy, consulting and market research and has worked with McKinsey & Company, MARG Marketing and Research Group and as a full-time consultant with Hindustan Lever Ltd. This book is divided into several chapters and each one of them is reviewed subsequently: The first chapter is named as ‘made for India’, which talks about India’s movement towards market capitalization. It focuses on how the socialist model failed before 1991 and led to a steep decline in the GDP, and as a result India opened its doors for privatization and globalization. Before 1991, the consumer in India did not welcome the global products because of the boycott movement and Gandhi’s philosophy of self reliance. Rama says that the nature of emerging markets is fundamentally different as they are large in their total size but small in terms of per capita income. The book mentions that the emerging markets need not be virgin markets as many home grown options might already be available and which have the capacity to impose tough competition to global products, for example the local markets such as Sarojini Nagar and Lajpat Nagar...

...save the tastiest treat for last. If there is one thing we as gamers actually can agree on, it has to be that we value a good deal. That is the reason we circle Steam sales like it was a wounded animal and we were a pack of rabid wolves just waiting to sink our teeth into those life-affirming deals. Where was I going with this? Right, value for money! On Steam you can pick up The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: Lechuck's Revenge dirt cheap.

Whilst attempting to the save the day, he is more often than not just in the way (a sentiment would-be heroes of all ages can relate to!). He talks a big game, is a smart-ass and over the course of the first games become an adept insult-fencer....

...PRINCESS Okay, people. I wished upon a star. I guess it does make a difference who I are! Do I have to be some poor nobody wannabe? Do I need some kind of kryptonite like a little pea? Did my prince get turned into a frog and he's now hiding in some creepy bog waiting for me to find him? I don't even know how to swim. What's the use of dreaming anymore. No one is beating down my door. I need to be some kind of damsel in distress to get some attention I guess. Where's my Prince Charming? Is there something about me that's alarming? All I get is Prince Pampered who spends his whole life hampered by being royally stuck up. Or there's Prince Never Grow Up who is way too pretty in his curls. All these boys make me want to hurl. Why can't I find a man sized prince who will sweep me off my feet and take me to far away lands. He will hold me with his strong hands and devote his life to me. Is that what I want? Is that what I dream about? If I don't get it, will I forever pout and cry because I didn't get my way? I just want to feel special. I want to feel like they care. I want them to bravely face any challenge for me. Enter my heart if you dare. Lock me in a tower. Make me your precious flower. I want you to battle your way against dragons to win my love today. Quit playing with your toys and prove your worth to me, boys. I promise I will be the perfect princess for you to please. I will be good to you and I won't be a tease... much. Who am I kidding...

...is totally driven by the media. You view events happening around the world via satellite TV in the comfort of your living room; you get the latest gist and gossip on smart phones connected to the ubiquitous internet that is proliferated with social media like Facebook and Twitter; propagation of gossips has not been easier! Success, being synonymous with fame is something people naturally love to identify with. The most intricate affairs of successful people thus become goldmine of information for people who have made them role models. They believe they can also achieve success by patterning their lives after their models. Likewise, famous entertainers like the late Michael Jackson also are idolized especially by young people. The ‘wannabes’ of these entertainers will do whatever it takes to get information about what things make their favourite acts tick. On the other hand, the unhealthy secrets of the private lives of famous people make good sources of scandal that can be used to blackmail or even discredit them. Information exposing the privacy of famous people thus also becomes a highly sought-after commodity by mischief makers. Everyone deserves privacy. For famous people, however, the invasion into their private lives is the price they have to pay for their fame. Because, whether for good or mischief, information on the private lives of...

...watching the video "Making Ethical Choices," I must say that Brian shows no ethics whatsoever!! Brian's emotional intelligence(the ability to recognize, interpret, or respond appropriately to his emotions or other people), mindfulness(a manner of acting and interacting with your immediate environment), ethics(showing standards for right and wrong, good and bad, and moral and immoral), and competence(the ability to accomplish your goals) were totally absent from the whole scenario. Brian's behavior needed addressing, he is sexist(comments about the vendor he took out), Brian steals from the company(time, gifts, and money), he is insubordinate(referring to the boss and his golf outing), and he appears to be a racist(comments about Tiger Woods wannabes). Brian is not only showing that he has no respect for ethics; he seems to be teaching his son the same way(doing his son's school report). Not only this, but he tries to sway Regina to join him by saying(she should ease the tension during these tough economic times by taking things from the company). That is wrong on so many counts, but, some people do not want to drown by themselves, so they try to pull others into their mess. Regina was right on point, bringing to Brian's attention the company policy and memos that were sent out regarding the freeze on accounts, she also lets him know that petty cash is not for personal use. She also told him in no uncertain terms that all employees do not steal from their companies(pens, paper...

...Role schemas are defined as the norms and expected behaviours of a specific role in society. It also goes into say that the roles and expectations associated with these categories are often referred to as stereotypes. When Cady first comes to the high school she is met with The Plastics, Cady then goes on to say how she if from Africa. Karen who is referred to as the dumb blonde says “so, if you’re from Africa, why are you white?” In this clip, Cady’s background does not fit into Karen’s pre-existing schema of what African natives look like. Another example of role schemas is when Cady, Janice and Damian first meet and talk about where to sit in the cafeteria.

...promotion of the ideology. The article also delves into which sites are commonly used by these groups in terms of promotion and recruitment. Thesis/Argument In this article the thesis and main argument, is that the street gangs that have slipped under the radar largely due to the war on terror, have used similar social media networking sites such as the terror groups seen in ISIS, Al-Qaeda, etc. What is interesting on this argument is that the sites that are ran and controlled by the gangs can be seen in various contexts: - True gang members running actual sites that support and promote the ideology of the gang - The site is used as active Deception and Denial operations in order to throw off law enforcement and rival gangs - Some may be ran by wannabes or false members which still promotes the ideology but is not sanctioned by the gangs themselves. The Claims The claims that are presented in the article are that of the sophistication as well as the little used tool, that most have seen used by ISIS to recruit, by the street gangs and cartels as a way to connect and spread their ideology even a way to reach a farther demographic. The lifestyle was romanticized and even played up with memorials as well as flashing gang signs along with weapons and money. Most importantly were the posting of videos that show various gang members engaged in actions from felonies to day to day life of the gang members. The Evidence The evidence that was presented came in the form of what was collected off...
