The growth and revenue that comes from online advertising will never change, but the ways and strategic process will. Along side the fact that visibility, portability, and impact of the message being portrayed will advance but the measure of Internet advertising will be dramatically be different. The commercial domain is by far the largest and fastest growing on the World WideWeb. It appears thatbusinesses are increasingly taking part in the new marketing forum available on the Internet. Yet, many companies that are growing disillusioned with thecommercial possibilities of online advertising, some have suggested that theInternet is better suited for advertising and commercial sitesrather than personal sites. Executives are questioning whether 'the potential of future Internet advertising is a risk to take due to the growing competition. "Agencies areconsidering decreasing or removing their investment in online advertising but are considering the loss of consumers" (Schumann 4

Sexual identity can be described as the focal point of our sexual selves as human beings. Our sexual identity begins to develop at birth and continues to develop as we grow older. There are countless factors that can influence one's sexual identity, and these factors may lead up to the gradual formation of our sexual identity. Sexual identity, like many things in life, may adapt and evolve as we go through the various stages of life. Several things that may influence the development of our sexual identity can include: gender identity, environmental factors, value systems, historical perspectives, love, and relationships. Sexual Decision Making Making informed sexual decisions is extremely important. When it comes to the sexual decision making process it's important to keep in mind that knowledge is power. At this point in my life I have developed a good set of values and I am able to make responsible decisions regarding sex. I automatically apply

The Novel Grendel by John Gardner gives the reader a different viewpoint of the good against evil plot scenario.  From the beginning of the book the reader can see that this book is very well written and that Gardner has a very unique way of writing it.  It is clear that the narrator is a very attentive and how he changes his writing to illustrate the "growing up" of Grendel's writing as well.  The reader many times before has dealt most likely with a hero defeating an evil villain. Although the twist to the story is that, the traditional, evil "monster" is telling his side of the story.  Having to be forced to now view the events from Grendel's eyes, Gardner allows his readers to see the other side of the coin.  Thus, during the events that play out in the entire novel, it gives the reader a chance to comprehend how Grendel plays an important role to how humans are conveyed. Whenever Grendel first encountered humans, he was fairly young at the ti

Management - the planning, organizing, leading, and controlling of human and other resources to achieve organizational goals efficiently and effectively (Jones & George, 2011). Managers work in every type of organization. They are the ones who supervise the organizations human and other resources to achieve a common goal. All management positions are designed to perform four primary functions when dealing with organizational resources. These four managerial functions are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. No matter how large or small the organization is, how well a manager can perform these four tasks will determine how efficient and effective that organization will be. A manager should also possess certain traits that will help them accomplish their day to day responsibilities within the organization. The three most important traits for a manager to possess are good decision making abilities, leadership skills, and to be an effective communicator. Within each org

I read an article on immigration called "Our Rainbow Underclass" by Mortimer B. Zuckerman. The 9/11 ceremonies made the author think about the multi-ethnic nature of US society. Among the victims were people origins from all over the world, that plot was not only against the Americans. The author felt that we should end immigration especially for Muslim immigrants. He said that is understandable but wrong. He thinks that politicians are not doing the right things to fix immigration problems because most politicians are afraid to lose their votes. He thought that immigration was out of control since 1965 when Edward Kennedy introduced a "reform" bill that ended the basic of Americans melting pot. The ensuing immigration reform act triggered an immigration explosion of basing entry on "family reunification". It was said the goal was not upset "the ethnic mix of this country" which increased the number of immigrants, family reunification, and immigrant's babies. The author was said that "

Television commercials have always been around regardless of the channel or time of day. A majority of commercials are informative, creative and quite interesting. However, there are many others that are outright boring, obnoxious, and a complete waste of time. Rather than convincing you of anything, they simply cause you to zone out completely when they come on. From all of the commercial advertisements on air today, I find the Geico Caveman commercials the most unique and entertaining of all. No matter what channel you watch, what radio station you listen to or what newspaper and magazines you read, chances are there is at least one Geico ad being used. The main message all the Caveman commercials are trying to convey is that switching to Geico can save you money and that it is not complicated to use. In fact, using Geico.com is "so easy a Caveman can do it." One of the funniest Geico Caveman commercials that Geico has made is the Geico Caveman bowling commercial. This co

Jewish hatred did not come from Hitler; it came from the preaching of Catholic priests and Protestant ministers throughout Germany for hundreds of years (Walker). However, once Adolf Hitler gained a massive amount of power, the belief touching the Jewish religion slowly became the opinion of the entire society. Soon enough, the Jewish people were being destroyed because of their harmless differences. This eradication can be compared to the ideology behind the movie Edward Scissorhands. Tim Burton criticizes, throughout this movie, the suburban society that does not permit outside individuals to be integrated into this restrictive society because their differences prevent them from fitting in as demonstrated by society's three steps to terminating an outsider: integrate the them into society, exploit them and eventually turn all against them. Burton promotes the ideology that society's first insensitive attempt to eliminate an unwanted individual is to try and fit them into soci

In Arthur Miller's play, The Crucible, Reverend John Hale's character is a perfect example of how a strong-minded individual and well-respected person can be transformed emotionally throughout times of betrayal and lies. Out of all of the characters in this play, Reverend John Hale undergoes the most dramatic change as he shifts from confident accuser, to uncertain sympathizer, to defender of the doomed. Reverend Hale enters the town of Salem, a confident, educated man of the system. He is described as a "tight-skinned, eager-eyed intellectual" (30). "This is a beloved errand for him; on being called here to ascertain witchcraft he felt pride of the specialist whose unique knowledge has at last been publicly called for" (31). Hale is very confident there is evil present. His intelligence on the matter of evil is why he is originally called upon to investigate and he takes this very seriously. "I cannot tell if she is truly in the Devils grip we may

Standing in the land 11450 miles away from home with a language barrier, I felt lost. However, out with the old, in with the new. Everything has gone and something has changed this year. Every time when people ask me who I am, I can always get different answers and different definitions about myself. Every time I think back, I can always remember interesting novelties in my life. As I become older and more mature, I always find my views about things are different when compared to the past. When I realize I am a senior this year, my life seems to come onto a different screen: an ambitious, pleased, and successful theme. Flying 19 hours from China to U.S, I have been staying in US for one year. This is already my second year of Community School of Naples. Time flies. I am already an eighteen-year-old girl. When the first day I got out from the airplane and drove to the school, I met all my friends and gave them a big hug. They all know me really well this year. They know I am a girl from China. They know I still like Math and Science, and do not like History or writing. They know I enjoy eating different food and t

Although Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" was written centuries ago, the allegory's main themes and concepts are still evident in the modern film, The Matrix. Plato's allegory discusses and analyzes a story by Socrates, which depicts a group of men who are having their minds controlled while living in captivity in a cave. In The Matrix, the world is reduced to a place where machines have enslaved mankind by holding the body of each person in a pod (for the purpose of extracting electrical energy from their bodies) and controlling their minds by connecting their brains to The Matrix. The plot in the movie, The Matrix echoes the "Allegory of the Cave", in some significant ways. Both the Matrix and the "Allegory of the Cave" deal with people that are subjected to thought control. In both cases, the controlled subjects have no choice of whether or not to accept these images that are constantly appearing in front of them, because they have

Of all of the works of William Shakespeare, his play A Midsummer Night's Dream has, perhaps, been readapted on stage and on film in more ways than any other. These film adaptations extend from groups remaining absolutely true to the original text to those who alter a great deal to either modernize it or to cater to a different type of audience. A prime example of staying true to the text, almost word for word, is the 1981 film adaptation, directed by Elijah Mohinsky. On the other hand in April 28th 1964 episode of Around the Beatles showed a very different adaptation wherein the members of the classic rock troupe acted out the famous Act five Scene one in which the "play within a play," Pyramyus and Thisbe is presented by the Mechanicals. These two extremes of play adaptation show just how versatile the script for A Midsummer Night's Dream is in terms of audience, costume, and even setting. The most important variable in the film adaptations of this classic work is in the audience. The differences exhibited in who the work is being aimed towards effect all of the other di

The God of the Abrahamic religions is recognized as the omniscient, invincible and benevolent being. Miracles are considered to be a violation of natural law or a permanently inexplicable event. Through the discussion of the idealistic "perfect" God and considering that either nature or humans, themselves, can create miracles, I will argue that miracles do not prove the existence of God. Firstly, many people believe that a miracle can result from an actual fault by God. Some believe that this is an attempt by God at correcting his historical "wrong-doings", in effort to make up for previous faults. This idea is rather ironic. The breaking of laws written by an all-knowing God is entirely contradictive. God is believed

This is the story of Matthew Polly's journey to the Shaolin Temple in China that began by listening to his inner voice about things that were bad with himself. In the first place, when he was fifteen years old, he noticed that he was "ignorant" and discovered the way to solve this issue by reading, by writing, and by noticing he was very good at college. In second place in his issue list, he wrote "Cowardly." He concentrated very much on this weakness, and while working on that, he was getting through each one of the other items of his list, and he got to erase all of them. He was obsessed with the art of Kung Fu, and also he seemed to be very interested in the Chinese culture, influenced by the series of Kung Fu (of the year the 1970s) and also about all the Chinese American character Caine, interpreted by David Caradine. He hoped to eliminate "cowardly" practicing this discipline; he was obsessed. Still he was looking after to the achievement of his dream. He dropped out of the Pr

The issues of Colonialism and imperialism and the effects they have on an author and a piece of work can be seen in many novels from both the view of the coloniser and the colonized. In the books Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe and The Jungle Books by Rudyard Kipling these views are seen from the viewpoint of a Nigerian tribe colonised by the English and from the English coloniser in India. By investigating the two books we will see how imperialism and colonisation inform the two works and shape the books as a whole. First we will look at The Jungle Books and examine the colonial subtexts within some of the stories. Using the technique of the beast fable Kipling attempts to put forward his ideas of colonial education and rule. After being taken in and nurtured by the animals Mowgli soon feels at home amongst his animal family. In his book Kipling and Conrad John McClure suggests that this is because Mowgli is 'a man amongst beasts, and so a representative of a dominant r

The most critical factor of the fall and rise of businesses, schools, religious groups, non-profit, and military organizations are effectiveness of the organizations leaders. Since 1900, there have been thousands of books and articles written on leadership. The studies have discovered that human personality play a vital role in the effectiveness of the leader and what occupation the leader represents (Parker, D. 2001). Religious leaders would have a different personality than a surgeon leading a medical team or a Mayor making zoning decisions for a community. Even the religious leaders differ in personalities. Moses lead the ancient Israelites out of Egypt and was a person that did not do a lot of public speaking compared to Jack Van Nippy who is trying to preach the end of time on TV and Radio and raise money for his cause. Peter, The disciple of Christ also spoked publicly on the behalf of the other disciples' on the Day of Pentecost. Researchers show that the early beliefs wher

Over many years, thousands of critics have referred to Flannery O'Connor's book "Wise Blood" as a very ugly and very dark story. The critics have referred to the book as depraved and offensive. The characters of Wise Blood are often dishonest, unkind and extremely violent. Both is these characteristics are found in the main character of the book Hazel "Haze" Motes. Enoch Emery Haze's follower becomes the victim of acts or violence. Hazel kills a person by running them over with his car, meanwhile Enoch beats and unclothes the man for personal fun. Dispite all the violence and unconscionable behavior presented by these and all other characters the story are seeking for something better to look forward to. Flannery describes Hazel as a "Christian malgr lui." He has always thought to himself that he was predetermined to be a preacher his like grandfather, however, when are reaches and early age of adulthood he is convinced that he doesn't have the inspiration it takes. "Every one o

Obesity is a multilayered and complex disease that has affected millions throughout the world. Scientists have struggled to find successful treatments to alleviate the problem. Obesity is a relatively new problem, as this global disaster was not a prevalent issue or a public health concern until the mid-20th century. The widespread obesity around the world came about so swiftly and profoundly that the only way it can be explained is that it must be an ecological, social, and cultural issue rather than an evolutionary occurrence. The specific causes for why there was a sudden increase in obesity have not yet been established; however, the underlying causes for obesity-excessive eating and lack of exercise- have always been known. [1] The obesity pandemic is indeed a new occurrence, but obesity has been a part of many societies since prehistoric times. Societal perception has shifted dramatically in the past century from the belief that obesity was primarily a cosmetic issue to an

In Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita, the use of rhetorical language is prevalent. Nabokov writes a novel about a literate European man, Humbert, and his journey through life in search of nymphets. Humbert defines nymphets as maidens who, between the ages of nine and fourteen reveal their true nature which is nymphic and demoniac, and not human (Nabokov 16). When the novel was written and in this day and age, any man or women involved in affairs with young children are considered pedophiles. How does Nabokov rationalize the actions of Humbert who deliberately indulges himself in relationships with young girls? The use of such language allows Humbert to charm the audience into sympathetically justifying his actions throughout the novel. The language that is used in the novel is extremely sophisticated which instantly lets the reader know the literate and educated intelligence Humbert obtains. In the beginning he explains his childhood and where he received his education. During his

Hurricane Katrina was one of the deadliest and costliest hurricanes in the United States. Katrina made landfall as a category three hurricane on August 29, 2005. The initial landfall was made in the Gulf Region near Buras Louisiana and later at the Louisiana and Mississippi border at Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Katrina packed sustained hurricane force winds of 125 mph, and extended out 75 miles from the eye of the storm (NOAA, 2012). Katrina's damage was devastating to residents of the area affected. The causes and impact of hurricane Katrina were negative environmental, social, and economical effects on the Gulf Coast Region. A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone or a low pressure system which forms in the tropics. It is a huge storm and is accompanied by thunderstorms. They can be as wide as 600 miles across and carry winds as high as 200 miles per hour. Hurricanes gather heat and energy from contact with warm ocean waters. The warmer the water is, the more intense the hur

Death is the natural phenomena that every human will experience. Because of its unique characteristics and consequence, humans instinctively fear it. Death is so powerful and unstoppable that no one can really resist it. In Kate Chopin's short story "The Story of An Hour," the protagonist sits on the chair and feels that "there [is] something coming to her and she [is] waiting for it (9th paragraph)." The "something" in fact refers to death, not freedom. Firstly, the author mentions in the first sentence that Mrs. Mallard's physical body is not healthy. Mrs. Mallard has "a heart trouble [and] great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband's death." This suggests that Mrs. Mallard is

"Mendacity is a system that we live in. Liquor is one way out and death's the other."[1] This quote by Tennessee Williams is expressed throughout one of his best-known works, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and the theme of mendacity permeates the entire play. Mendacity is a term that refers to lies, hypocrisy and deception that the Pollitt family uses to escape from falsehood. The overburdened circumstances of the family crisis reveal hidden truths that were being held by the characters in the play. Brick drinks in order to escape mendacity and lies, the Pollitt family, except Brick lies to Big Daddy about his terminal cancer and Big Daddy himself is consumed with mendacity. Brick drinks in order to escape mendacity and lies. The alcohol helps him cope with issues he has bottled up inside and eases the pain he inflicts on himself by denying the nature of his relationship with Skipper and his culpability in Skippers self-destruction and death. Brick confesses to Maggie that alcohol is the only

According to the National institute of drug abuse, anabolic steroids are synthetic substances similar to the male sex hormone testosterone. They are taken orally or are injected. Some people, especially athletes, abuse anabolic steroids to build muscle and enhance performance. Abuse of anabolic steroids can lead to serious health problems, some of which are irreversible. Michael Dillingham says that there are medical consequences involved with taking steroids, and how steroid intake increases the athlete's chance of getting liver cancer. Heavy use of steroids can also cause psychological and emotional problems to the athlete. Men who use steroids will have testicular atrophy and libido problems, and women will have abnormal periods and changes in hormonal balance (Dillingham Paragraph 1 and 2). Michael Dillingham question, so why do athletes use steroids? The answer is simple. They get bigger, faster, and stronger and have an advantage over all other athletes. Many athletes who ta

The Killer Angels is a book about the battle at Gettysburg, a battle of the Civil War that changed it's very direction. The book is told from several points of views, going through each day and telling the stories of several officers present at the Battle of Gettysburg in the summer of 1863. The book describes their thoughts and actions in high detail and showing the reaction by the opposite confederate or union side. Before the book begins Michael gives background information on each character that shares a portion of each day. The Book begins with Buford's advancement to the hill top which soon becomes a defensive line when General Lee gets word that there are forces at Gettysbur

In order to stay relevant throughout time, organizations need to respond to the demands of economic markets and transition form a state of continuity to a state of discontinuity. To do so, they need to develop sound mental models that keep an eye toward the future, and thus, allow managers to anticipate potential problems that might develop down the road. Moreover, organizations need to embrace an organic organizational approach that requires having a clear and focused strategy, a flawless execution of operations, a performance oriented culture and a hiring and recruiting process that embraces and retains talent. Effective planning, leading, organizing and controlling skills based on divergent thinking approached are essential to the successful execution of such. Problem Recognition: Creative destruction is a concept that focuses on the development of new economics markets from the destruction of previous economic orders. Joseph Schumpeter, who considered it the essential "fact a
