And They Like Big Boobs,no quotation marks Joan Rivers writes about the medical details, cost and complications of cosmetic surgery and procedures, nearly all of which she has undergone herself. She also promoted in the New York Timesitalics and on NPR her view that women should have as many cosmetic procedures as they can afford.

In Amanda Fazzone’s article “Boob Tube,” she explains how TV. show heroines are empowered only because they “bask in the sex object role,” even though NOW (National Organization for Women) states that these “intelligent” and “well-rounded” women are able to “break out of the sex object role and portray authentic people.” Fazzone questions NOW’s credibility for their criterion of their idea of authentic and intelligent women. “If heroines like Felicity are empowered, it’s only because they’ve decided that what really drives female power is sex,” Fazzone states at the beginning of the article. Fazzone takes a stand against NOW asking how they choose their endorsements. NOW explains that their endorsements are intelligent, well-rounded authentic women, but Fazzone wants to know if they are really women who bask in the sex object role, and what are the shows NOW endorses are really about?
The importance of the blue ocean strategy is that it keeps companies looking for untapped markets, which will provide new goods and services for the consumer. A product or service that might be considered a blue ocean move can be as simple as mixing alcohol and energy drinks packaging them and selling to the public. Anheuser-Busch could do this as long as the energy drinks do not contain caffeine. Mixing alcohol and energy drinks is not a new idea, but in November of 2010 the Food and Drug Administration declared caffeine an illegal and unsafe additive to manufactured alcoholic beverages. So now breweries cannot manufactures energy drinks with alcohol.
How Calvin Klein Persuades Consumers There are thousands of new consumer items, from clothing to electronics that come out each season. In order for companies to sell their merchandise, they must find a way to get public recognition.

The implicit claim of this image, which I found in Women’s Health magazine, is that you will feel comfortable, sexy, and uninhibited when you work out in Calvin Klein’s Performance wear.
Pretty Little Liars: the Book Series Versus the Television Series “I’m still here, bitches. And I know everything. –A” (Shepard, Pretty Little Liars 203). This message from A could be seen in either the book series or the television series to Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer, the four female lead characters known as the Liars; however, there are more differences than similarities. The characters, setting, and plot line in a series of books can greatly change yet maintain a health entertaining television series containing all that it needs to flourish.

Maybe they don't care, maybe they are the ones saying “it won't happen to me” or maybe they just don't realize how serious the effects can be. One of the more common quick fixes that more than 28million Americans use is the Tanning bed. Appearance is an important thing in today’s culture. So important, humans go to great lengths to get the “perfect” look.
Orenstein began with an anecdote expressing her frustration with the princess theme, then talked about different product lines with the princess theme. From there she jumped from criticizing mothers that fell for the princess trend to how Disney’s princess product line started and finally finishes with references to studies about change in different aspects of a girl’s life. Along with their differences in approach, there also was a major difference in effectiveness. Poniewozik’s article was much more structured going from movie to movie explaining its impact on a girl’s life and stuck to one point which came across very effective. Orenstein, on the other hand, jumped from topic to topic without much of a connection and supported her claims with very little evidence, so it failed to be effective in getting her point
But the REVLON advertisement clearly conveys why their make- up collection is best. In this ad the diction used appeals to more females. The advertiser used celebrity endorsement to persuade one to purchase their product. Susan Sarandon is a well-known actress. The close up on Susan Sarandon’s face is used to show how beautiful she is because she uses REVLON.
She tries to get this point across by stating that "Aging beautifully used to mean wearing one's years with style, confidence, and vitality.
