For one this can be used in trainings in more than one way, it can be used to set examples in the work place, it can be used in corporate, and it can be used by managers to increase and do research on the job performance in the work place. The information in this article can be used in a training to explain how dress in a particular fashion, or attire can effect how one get their job done. The manager can make comparisons on how people wear certain attires or we can use the example of the “white coat” perform better. This is not something that is essential but managers can always explain to new employees the benefits of dress to a certain standard such as a white coat. Amongst employees if they do not have strict dress codes something that they can do is compare the attire of those who dress up and does who wear white to those people who do not wear white and or dress more casual. When they make those comparisons they can see the way that the people who dress up and are in white carry themselves. They can notice how their work performance is a lot better compared to those who are least dressed up. By making these comparisons they can make the decision on how they want to dress. This can be used by corporate mangers to see how much of an improvement on a companies production to dress in a certain color as compared to dressing down. They can use this information to change dress code in the work place. This can help the company boost revenue and profits if everyone in the...

...not rule out scientist being the hero. (Meredith, D.). When I hear the word scientist, the image that comes to mind is that of a male or female in a knee-length white lab coat, gloves and those clear experimental goggles we were all told to wear in grade school. This person might have a calculator and/or thermometer in their left breast pocket or even black plastic frame glasses as a finishing touch to give them that intelligent look that people associate the with smarter than average people. Some of the characters from television and films that comes to mind are the scientist Dr. Emmit Brown from the movie Back to the Future, Steve Urkel from a comedy television series called Family Matters and Temperance Brennan from the television series Bones. All three of these characters wore the white coat when in the essence of portraying a scientist. I’d like to think of the white coat as a sort of uniform for the job, just as a police officer and a firefighter have a certain uniform that helps to identify them. During grade school, I attended a health and science magnet school in Texas. One of my professors once told us that reason for scientist wearing white coats traced back to older times. Generations before use to hear the word scientist and they would automatically picture an individual in their original black coat. Once science showed that not being able to see how...

...The author of “The White Coat” essay embodies the Jesuit value, a person of others. This Jesuit value encourages a person to embrace diversity, respect life, and value human dignity regardless of religious, cultural, or socioeconomic status. A person of others appreciates one another’s unique talent, optimism and energy. They, like the author, value relationships and put purpose before task, no matter how large or complex the situation. They understand that each individual is important and give as much professional and personal attention as that individual requires. Similarly both parties appear to be motivated to work towards the common good and display a commitment to service. They seek knowledge in the service of humanity; living in a shared,...

...“Clothes cognition is really about becoming the clothes themselves and having them direct who you are and how you act in the world,” study author Adam Galinsky said. ”When we are putting on a suit, we are not only giving impressions to other people, but we are also giving an impression to ourselves. We feel the rich, silk fabric on our arms; that allows us to take on the characteristics of those clothes.” The researchers examined the phenomenon by having participants wear a white lab coat, describing it as a doctor’s coat. “When they put it on and saw it as a doctor’s coat, they became more attentive,” Galinsky said. “But if they put on the same coat and we call it an artist’s coat, a painter’s coat, then you didn’t get the affect.” Galinsky, a professor of ethics and decision in management, said this is because doctors need to ” be attentive” and by wearing the coat you take on a “symbolic meaning of what it means to be a doctor, attentive and smarter.” While those with the artists coats were found to become more creative. The concept for the research stemmed from an episode of “The Simpsons.” The episode featured a group of children in gray uniforms who were very quiet. After a rainstorm came and washed the clothing into color, their behaviors changed. “[I] started thinking about how the clothes you wear and the meaning”...

...it is very important to groom your dog, especially the Silky Terrier. Often mistaken for a Yorkie, this particular toy breed is famously known for its long, shiny silky coat and friendly disposition. Grooming can be a great way of bonding with your pet, show off its silky, luxurious, hair in dog shows or to give him or her more visual spunk. Many tools and techniques are used to make a silky terrier look its very best for show: Clippers, shears, brushes, combs, detangling conditioners, professional shampoos, blow driers and other grooming tools are used for basic and show grooming. The Silky Terrier should be bathed once a week to once every 12 weeks; it’s a low maintenance dog and can have a fondness for grooming if started at a young age. Basic grooming should include bathing, brushing, and combing of their coat on a regular basis. Some of the many endearing qualities include a single coat that does not molt and distinct lack of “doggy” odor, therefore making them ideal for people who have allergies. History of the Breed The Silky Terrier originated in Australia in the 1890s, when breeders crossed imported Yorkshire Terriers with their native Australian Terriers. Some of the offspring looked like Yorkies, some looked like Australian Terriers, and others looked like the Silky of today, with a size and coat length that was between the two parent breeds. The Silky-looking dogs were interbred until the puppies predictably had Silky traits. In 1906, Australian fanciers developed...

...invented a down filling machine for the jacket. Originally, they renamed the company to Snow Goose, because of the white downs, but eventually somewhere in the 70’s it was renamed to Canada Goose. In 1982 Laurie Skreslet became the first Canadian to climb Mount Everest and he was wearing the Big Mountain Jacket create by Canada Goose (Canada Goose, 2013). Then in 1997 an man named Dani Reiss, son of David Reiss, joined the company as a salesman, selling the brand to stores to sell the product. In 2001 he had succeed his father and had become president and Chief Executive of the company. He had brought a new strategy to the way things are done on the advertising and production side of the product. The Strategy was; “by focusing on the made-in-Canada, used-in-Canada story behind the coats, people would clamour for them” (O’Kane J. 2013). The strategy worked and the company fiscal year grew 40% and had sales close to $150 million US Dollars. In addition, Canada Goose jackets had been popping up in movies. The one movie in particular that the jacket appeared in was “The Day After Tomorrow”. Which is a movie about how the world freezes over and these Scientist have to save the world. The scientists that were trudging through the brutal cold were wearing the Canada Goose jackets. Now even though this was a movie people took notice and Canada Goose Inc. Having their coats in a movie about a new ice age sure didn’t hurt the company. Its unclear how many sales...

...I read the article “Mind Games: Sometimes a White Coat Isn’t Just a White Coat,” by Sandra Blakeslee from The New York Times published on April 2, 2012. This is an interpretation of a journal article done by Hajo Adam and Adam D. Galinsky titled, “Enclothed Cognition.” It was received by Journal of Experimental Social Psychology on January 19, 2012, and published on February 21, 2012. The journal is about the impact of enclothed cognition on people. Enclothed cognition is the influence that wearing clothes has on the psychological processes and behavioral tendencies of the wearer. I believe that the article by Blakeslee does a good job accurately reporting on the journal in the vernacular for anyone to understand, however, it misstates a few simple things that would make it hard for a reader to trust it....

...Fourteen years ago my life flashed before my eyes. Little did I know that my best friend would soon try to end my short life. Running down a never ending hall way, ankles bleeding, tears rolling down my cheeks, I was too young to die. Why was this happening to me? Samantha was my sister only hours before, and now she wanted to murder me in cold blood. Samantha was my cat, and I was three years old. In the early years, Samantha was a regular cat living the typical suburban cat lifestyle. She slept all day and enjoyed being rubbed on on her belly as she purred so softly. With her golden fur coat, she stood out from all the other neighborhood cats. Every once in a while, a dead bird would find its way to our door step. In a weird way, I always thought the dead animals she would bring us was her way of saying thanks for the love and care we gave her. I was too young at that time to understand that these tiny gifts that she brought to me were foreshadowing what would come later. In my little eyes, Samantha was the best cat and friend that any child could dream of having; but then things started to change. As the days passed and changed, so did Samantha’s characteristics that I loved so dearly. Her personality began to fade away from what I had known it to be. Instead of playing with the other cats in the neighborhood, Samantha began to display aggressive behavior and engage in cat fights. One morning she came home limping with cuts covering...

...Admissions Essay There have been several people with prominent impacts on my life, but why focus only on the people who have influenced me? Let us broaden the scope to include all worldly matter. Then I make no hesitation in stating that my canine companion, Toby, has been my greatest influence. Toby, a vivacious miniature schnauzer, is at a well-ripened age of eleven. He is not the same dog he was when he was younger. He sleeps about 18 hours a day and it is impractical to take a nap on the couch with him, because his snoring is loud enough to be fooled with the reverberation of my dad after a long day of golf. However, just before 5 o’clock in the afternoon, only the gray hairs scattering Toby’s black coat give away his old age. It is around this time every day that Toby begins his racket of letting you know that it is getting “close” to his dinnertime of 6 o’clock. Toby’s daily reminders guide me to take a stand against the common adolescent breakfast fast. They are also a source of accountability in my quest to keep a positive outlook on all things that I encounter in my life. While Toby may be an ordinary dog, he and I share something that I have never had with another human. Toby and I communicate better than any two humans do. To a third party, it seems as though I am carrying on a conversation with a non-responsive dog therefore essentially speaking back and forth to myself. However, I assure you that Toby responds back in his own way. What makes...

...According to B. F. Skinner (Science and Human Behavior, 1965), the Operant Conditioning is the process by which a response becomes more or less likely to occur depending on its consequences. The schedule of reinforcement is an important component of learning process under the Operant Conditioning. I would like to apply this theory on the 2 dogs with same age in 2 different educating situation. The 2 objects of study are Yorkshire Terrier in my cousin’s home and Toy Poodle in ours. The Yorkshire Terrier was educated under random schedule, while the Toy Poodle was educated under continuous reinforcement schedule. While house training the Yorkshire Terrier and Toy Poodle, classical conditioning was applied. In order to communicate the command and action to the 2 objects, we applied the motivational training. Motivational training engages the use of rewards to strengthen good performance, and overlooks all bad behavior (Marlo Shelby, 1999). It is based on Thorndike's Law of Effect (Burch Mary R. and Jon S. Bailey, 1999), which states that actions that generate rewards tend to increase in regularity and actions that do not generate rewards decrease in frequency. We brought both Yorkshire Terrier and Toy Poodle into the cage while saying the command “House” then gave them snacks, after that we reward them with snacks whenever they get into the cage. Both Yorkshire Terrier and Toy Poodle learnt to get to the cage with the command “House”. After learning the command, Yorkshire...

...really are. Soft, obedient, and lazy may be characteristics of most lap dogs, but not yorkies. I feel as though when my yorkie is barking, she’s actually screaming, And she does bark. All. The. Time. They sometimes might believe they are guard dogs as they will announce strangers at any time so socializing can be a bit hazardous. Finally, yorkies blow Rapunzel out of the water. Yorkies actually have hair, and not fur. People refer to their hair as hair and not fur because they only have one layer of it, whilst most other dogs have two. Many people say that this causes the dog to be unable to trigger an allergic reaction to people who are allergic to fur. This is true. But some people can also have an allergic reaction to the dander in the coat. What's great is that this breed doesn’t typically have a shedding phase. This doesn’t mean that hairs don’t fall out. The body pushes out older hairs and replaces them with new ones on a never ending continual basis. This happens in such a slow cycle that one never really notices. However, it will be normal to see some strands here and there. But nonetheless, we should love their luscious hair. Yorkie are an interesting breed, aren't they? They come from England. They are always jolly. And they would beat Rapunzel in a contest any day. Maybe if you ever become a veterinarian or anything like that, you’ll be educated on the Yorkies. I hope you all go out and get yourself a one....

...product at full potential. Reiss must choose from Levine’s Menswear and Asmuns place. At these two locations Canada Goose will be able to better target men’s and women’s fashion segment. They will also get a more dominant position in upper scale mall, which is where we will find people who will be willing to pay our high price in order to get a quality coat. If our coat is seen in upper scale stores, this will also help to improve our brand image, to build a foundation in peoples minds as Canada Goose as a luxury coat. With added sales we should be able to improve our product line to offer an even wider range of coats and accessories. Our major issue with dealing with these types of retailers is there is no guarantee of our coat not being used as a loss-leader, which will highly decrease brand prestige. We will also face the possibility of losing a few key independent retailers when they fail to keep up with the upper scale larger stores such as Levine’s Menswear and Asmuns place. Ultimately, our company faces little risk, as higher-income people will always be willing to spend, to them, a small chunk of money on a coat that is of highest quality and extremely fashionable. Problem Statement How can Dani Reiss, the president and owner of Canada Goose Inc., move forward and expand the company while still maintaining the brand value? Analysis Objectives and Goals Dani Reiss, president and owner of Canada Goose has seen recent growth in the European market and the...
