* How did the speaker address arguments and counterarguments? -The speaker addressed both arguments and counterarguments by explaining why birth control is beneficial but on the other side why people think we should remove it completely. However, she would state the opposite side but then blow that out of the way by adding something to go against it. She showed that her argument for birth control was able to outweigh the side arguments against it.

From Porters 5 Forces Model we can see that the cosmetics industry was attractive when looking at the industry from TBS perspective (See Appendix 1a). You can also see from its success how over time it changed and competitors followed. (See Appendix 1b) After reading the case study and performing analysis you could say that TBS effectively moved into a ‘Blue Ocean’ with their market position in the cosmetics industry. When reviewing a Strategy canvas(Appendix 2) for Cosmetics industry and TBS you can see how TBS tailored it use of the perceived Critical success factors to stand apart from the ‘industry norms’.
Sharpe’s believe this could be because of the changing attitudes of society in general towards women and the impact of feminism. Mitsos and Browne (1998) say that the service sector which is traditionally seen as women’s work has expanded. Employers usually like women in this sector as they have good communication skills and the rise in the employment of women has given girls the incentive to do well at school. Mac and Ghaill claim that the decline in male employment opportunities has led to an ‘Crisis of Masculinity’ as many boys now believe they have a less chance in a getting a proper job. This undermines their motivation and self-esteem therefore they give up on trying to do well in education and have a fatalistic attitude towards it.
A number of approaches were considered to help Lowe’s lower expenses and increase profits. One approach was to grow Lowe’s brand recognition through new advertising approaches, such as social media, which will get the most out of the strengths. To overcome some key flaws, Lowe’s has a duty to provide cross training to all employees in all sections and jobs of the store prior to working alone. In addition, the execution of a quality assurance program to standardize the Total Quality Management (TQM) of products would help Lowe’s address various weaknesses and threats. Some of Lowe’s strengths include having the second largest market share in the industry, their creative ideas classes and videos, and their corporate social responsibility.
Week 7 Assignment 2 Through history women and the GLBT, community has been looked down upon as inferior to men. As time has proven to be a good thing for women especially the last decade because it has been a time of great advancement for women in the workforce and the outlook that society has on them. I think that people in the United States are also becoming more comfortable with the GLBT community. More people are able to express themselves for who they really are and people are becoming more open to the idea of love without limits. I think it is important to look back from where we have come and see the progress that is being made from where we started to where we are today.
Module 4 Answering the Opposition ITT Technical “The Latest from the Feminist Front” What was your initial reaction to Limbaugh’s claim that “feminism was established so that unattractive women could have easier access to mainstream of society?” My initial reaction was that Limbaugh was being disrespectful to women in general. Al women have a right to easier access to society whether they are attractive or unattractive. They are still women and women should be respected as much as men are respected. His statement is also very insensitive. What are two of Limbaugh’s main points?
Terry estimated her investment on the product should be 75,000 to 95,000 in inventory to begin with considering off peak times when customers are likely to buy. This scenario indicates a great way to contingency planning because Terry has thought about possible problems such as seasonal peak and valleys she might run into. She has prepared this issue by finding an alternative way to still sell her products even with off peak times by creating a website for customers from all over to purchase. She has also prepared herself to dedicate more time working longer hours at the store to be available to potential customers. Nevertheless, Terry has some excellent solutions to her planning although she has some aspects of her business goal I find might need some modifications.
Investment in early child education that is affordable to all classes would, in the end work to everyone’s advantage. More people in the work force mean a boost for our economy. The subsidies coming in from the increased number of women able to work throughout their child’s early years, would immensely help the women provide more money for a better future in the sake of the whole family. The fight for economic justice is not a new movement. It’s been an ongoing battle that has furthered this planets development beyond what was ever imaginable.
