    Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster

    Deluxe: How luxury lost its luster, by Dana Thomas, brings a hard hitting, raw look at the world of luxury and the mass demand of luxury that has occurred. The book was published by the Penguin Group in 2007. Luxury is defined by Thomas as truly special, and was only available to the aristocratic world of wealth and old money in western culture. Luxury signified an experience and lifestyle that denotes royalty, fame, and fortune. However, with large companies owning the former family-owned luxury producing businesses, profits are the main goal not the production of luxury. Thomas reveals the unfortunate demise and rise of traditional luxury companies. Wherever she looked, it seemed as though everyone owned some kind of luxury product. She asked herself, when did brands such as Chanel, Gucci, and Prada become so widely used and available to anyone anywhere? Thus, the beginning of her research into the world of luxury and her book, Deluxe: How luxury lost its luster.…

    Money and Class

    The observations made by Lewis Lapham's Money and Class in America distinguishes the meaning of success and the required level for respect for Americans to that of other strong societies. In his supposed defense of the popular opinion that America is a place that wrongfully shows respect to those of higher economic class than other nations that hold art and intellect at a pedestal. With this, he agrees with Henry Adams that Americans are ignorantly herded to find "success" in the materialistic wealth because they have been "deflected by the pursuit of money". Though the idea that Americans favor and respect superficial matters is held true, Lapham's claim that they do so because they are socially forced to is invalid simply because there is still a choice. As shown through his contradictions in the essay, and the many artistic and intellectual American successes, it makes the average materialistic American too idle in their comfort to search for the other direction that they are so "deflected" from, which he denies.…

    material wealth

    Snow white has many different versions of it written, most of which display a great story of a young girls development. Although each tale is based upon the same topic, the process by which the girl learns and develops varies from each tail. As in Lasair Ghueg, The King of Ireland 's Daughter, the young girl has a distant relationship to her parents and is constantly colliding with her step mom. Many younger kids and even adults are in this same position and can easily connect to the deeper meaning of the story. Unlike most Snow White tales where the main concern is who is the fairest of them all, Lasair Ghueg focuses on the idea of material greed between two ladies and the idea that money can 't buy happiness.…

    TOURISM

    The movie Twilight is based upon the number one best-selling sensation by Stephenie Meyer with the same name; Twilight takes us into the world of Bella swan, played by Kristen Stewart, who is sent to live in the dreary Forks of Washington with her father. As the new kid in school, Bella is intrigued and attracted to one of the school’s outcast, Edward Cullen, played by Harry Potter’s own Cedric Diggory, Robert Pattinson. After Edward saves her life in a superhero-ish way, we find out Edward is a vampire but Edward and his family are good vampires, drinking only from animals, like deer, rabbits and homeless people. Just kidding about the homeless people. They’re the equivalent of “vampire vegetarians”.…

    Wealth and Happiness

    The first text “The Sandra Bullock Trade” says that marital happiness is more important than anything else in determining happiness. If you have a good marriage, then no matter how many personal setbacks you have, you will always be reasonably happy. If you do not have a good marriage the no matter how many career triumphs you gain, you will still be unfulfilled. It also says that the relationship between happiness and income is complicated for instance poor nations become happier as they become middle-class. But when they achieved the basic things, the income is not that important anymore. At the same time the text also says that if you join a group it makes you just has happy as if you double your income. In the end the text mentions two impressions, the first one is that from all the research you can see that economic and professional success exists on the surface of life and it comes from interpersonal relationships and that is way deeper and more important. The other impression is that we pay attention to the wrong things. We overestimate the fact that money will make our lives better.…

    Throughout this essay, a thorough analysis will be made in relation to specific research on cultures of work in a particular work place. The workplace that will be focused on throughout this essay is a ladies fashion boutique. The main argument will focus on discourses of management throughout the concepts of what is considered as work in the retail sector, how the working environment is managed throughout the fashion industry, commitment in the workplace and relationship of teamwork. All these aspects of work will be tied in together to form a research based argument in relation to the fashion boutique. In order to produce a contextual framework of the notion of work, research will be based on primary research from an interview with the manager of the ladies fashion boutique and observations of the boutique. Throughout the use of the interviewing being incorporated into this essay, theoretical concepts and scholarly articles will be used to back up the focus on discourses of management within the perspective of what is considered as work in the work place. Due to ethical reasons, I will be making reference to the manager of the boutique by the name of Anna.…
