...Ana Perez Cortes ID 170 4:00-5:15 Chicana Liberation Through Art Art has been a crucial element in the Chicana feminist movement. There were many Chicana artist such as Yolanda Lopez, Alma Lopez, and Ester Hernandez. Among the artist there were many different styles used but they all had the same objective which was to fight against the gender stereotypes that they suffered in the Chicano Movement as well as the discrimination the received in society. This could be seen in the art they created such as the radical interpretations of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Intersectionality was also important in their paintings since they both received discrimination for their race and their gender both in the movement and outside the movement. The...

...SWOT Analysis for McDonald’s Yolanda Jennings Columbia Southern University Abstract This paper explores the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) of McDonald’s. The analysis will list several examples of each. Strengths: 1. Strong brand name, image and reputation: The image of McDonald’s is recognized everywhere whether it be from the golden arches that light up the sky or the face of Ronald McDonald. It is the number one fast food company by sales, with more than 31,000 restaurants in over 120 countries. 2. Partnership with the best brands: McDonald’s offers the most popular brands in its restaurants. Companies such as Coca Cola, Dannon Yogurt and Heinz Ketchup are among the few that have ventured into business with them. 3. More than 80% of restaurants are owned by independent franchisees. This opens the market for future restaurants in more places which equates to more profits for the company.. 4. Children targeting: McDonald’s successfully targets very young children through its offering of playgrounds on the premises, toys with its meals and advertisements on billboards and in commercials. The toys they select are chosen based on the most current trends in movies, television shows and games. 5. Locations: Not only are there locations on public streets but McDonald’s has partnered with Wal-Mart, airports and theme parks to take advantage of highly frequented places. Weaknesses: 1.

...MiIntroduction In order to make this essay I had to, first and foremost, to choose the person that I would describe and analyze which was a challenge for me being that I don't know most of the persons in charge of the media institutions in Portugal (and much less from foreign countries). Finally, I decided to chose Público, a journal in Portugal of my liking. Having decided for this media institution I chose to describe the editor-in-chief of the said institution, Bárbara Reis. Description of Bárbara Reis and her most important achievements Bárbara Reis started young, she was only seventeen years old when she tried to follow the path she believed to be hers, becoming a photographer and it was at this time she started working on Expresso, another Portuguese newspaper where she learnt, quoting her own words, how to write. Two years later the newspaper Público was founded and it's founders hired her straight away and there she worked normally for some years until she was twenty-one or twenty-two, even she doesn't know for sure; at this time, she was infuriated at the newspaper publishing in a daily fashion a brief news about children starving in Somalia and expressed her opinion "either we don't talk about this at all or we do something worth doing!" and was overheard by the at the time director of Público who told her "you are absolutely right, go to Somalia" and she went, making a change in her career, staying there for one month. When she was twenty-five, she was offered...

...CHAPTER 4 INDUSTRY AND COMPETITOR ANALYSIS Industry Analysis 4.1 Porter's Five Forces A. Rivalry among Competing Firms - Weak Rivalry among competing firms is considerably low since NBS has maintained its position on being the largest and top bookstore and distributor of the country. Moreover, there are relatively fewer sellers that any one company's actions have little direct impact on rival's business. Products of rival competitors were also somehow different in approach as to which, say, Fully Booked and Goodwill Bookstore focus on book retailing rather than offering school supplies. Even if firms compete with same books and other materials, the pricing strategy of NBS is relatively lowest among rivalry. This has been one of the advantages of NBS throughout the decades past. Lastly, competition has already transcended on internet based systems by delivering online services which fast-paced technology-driven consumers demand. Almost all competing firms have already adapt this change and continually to develop further their online marketing, promotions and strategies. B. Threat of New Entrants - Moderate Threats of new entrants for NBS is moderate since factors of relative price of substitute, low product differentiation, big switching cost to buyers, easy access to distribution channels and high capital requirement is considered. Relatively, strong partnerships with publishers would be advantageous for potential entering firms. Moreover, it is easy...

...PREFERENCE ON THE PROPOSED K+12 BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAM “If you want to plan for a year, plant a tree; for a decade educate people.” It is an old maxim that talks about the importance of education where it plays a major role in the progress and welfare of a nation. Thus, every nation has a high regard in educating its people. According to Nelson Mandela, one of an African foremost statesman said that “education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.” It is supported by one of the approaches of curriculum which is known as reconstructivism where the long term purpose of education is promoted. They are trained to be professionals in the future that in the end will reform the society. Everyone has the right to education as what the Universal Deceleration on Human Rights stated. It is supported by the 1987 Philippine Constitution Section 1 of Article XIV that announces that “the state shall protect and promote the right of all citizen to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all.” This creates an avenue for the children to have quality education so that they will have a bright future and a better quality of life that most parents want to achieve and this will be beneficial and helpful to the nation itself. In the Philippine Journal (2006), Moises R. Tamandong cited different ingredients for quality education. He stated the following: 1.Curriculum which caters to the needs of the learners...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION I. BACKGROUND Our future growth relies on competitiveness and innovation, skills and productivity... and these in turn rely on the education of our people. – Julia Gillard. The increase of low-income, low-skilled youth in the labor market, particularly in developing countries, is a major concern internationally. In some regions of the world, young people are nearly three times as likely as adults to be unemployed. They are also more likely to work in the informal labor market than adults, in low quality jobs that offer limited socio-economic security, training opportunities, and working conditions. This enormous unlocked potential represents a substantial loss of opportunity for both individuals and society. With increasing emphasis being given to work- and skills-based solutions to economic competition and poverty in the developing world, comes a renewed focus on technical and vocational education and training (TVET) as a means to expand opportunities for marginalized youth (Tripney, et. al., 2013). Enhancing the quality of basic education in the Philippines is urgent and critical. In line with this, one of the discussions of DepEd which incurred on October 2010 is to enhance the basic education program of the country in a way that is least disruptive to the current curriculum, most affordable to government and families, and aligned with international practice through the K-12 policy. The poor quality of basic education is reflected in the low achievement...

Scanning the Marketing Environment © The McGraw−Hill Companies, 2005 CHAPTER 3 SCANNING THE MARKETING ENVIRONMENT IT’S SHOW TIME! Don’t blink, because the world of entertainment is changing faster than anyone imagined possible. Online music, high-definition televisions, digital photography, computer-based media centers, and software for making movies are just some of the many products new to the entertainment industry. The revolution began with the combination of Apple’s iPod music player, which can store 10,000 songs in a device smaller than a deck of cards, and its iTunes Music Store, which sells more than 10,000,000 songs each month for just $.99 each. Other new forms of digital entertainment products include digital video recorders (DVRs), which record TV shows on hard drives instead of tape, and home entertainment “hubs,” which utilize wireless networks to link digital devices from around the home. Some experts even predict that there will probably be a version of iPod and iTunes for movies in the near future. Suddenly the music, television, photography, movie, and computer industries are converging. Musicians, recording companies, television networks, camera companies, movie studios...
