    Joan Lester Steinau created an essay titled “Now what do I say?” about the need for language to develop to keep track with society and some of the issues that a historical background has caused within some words. One of Steinau’s paragraphs is an except that really makes sense to me as an avid reader and a lover of common events, paragraph 4, page 78. Steinau states the contradiction between the words “warlord” and “lords of the manor” or “knight”. Our first instinct when we hear the term warlord is to imagine a character who rules by absolute force in a small militaristic country that is not developed and full of turmoil.…

    The Ted talk “My stroke of Insight” given by a Neuroanatomist, Jill Bolte Taylor, is about how we have a left hemisphere and a right hemisphere and how we have different perceptions of ourselves because of it. In the right hemisphere people tend to think of themselves as “energy-beings connected to one another through the consciousness of our right hemispheres as one human family.” Our left brain is responsible for helping us see ourselves as single individuals. In this talk Jill Bolte Taylor asks us an important question, “which side so you choose and when?” She gives us her answer based on her experiences and her understanding of the human brain. I feel that because she shared her personal experience in this talk, the audience really connected to her speech.…

    However, modern interpretations of Coatlicue have been depicting her once more as the powerful goddess she had once been. Because Mexicans have been reclaiming the narrative on their traditions, Coatlicue has been reimagined as an empowering figure, especially for females. For instance, in Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza by Gloria Anzaldúa, snakes are once more equated with sacredness in defiance of Christian interpretations of snakes as being evil. Anzaldúa, a Chicana, says in her book that she “know[s] Earth is a coiled serpent. Forty years it’s taken [her] to enter into the Serpent, to acknowledge that [she has] a body, that [she is] a body and to assimilate the animal body, the animal soul” (Anzaldúa 26).…

    According to Exhibit 13, the respective market shares for Polo, Armani, Gucci, and Burberry are 9.1%, 3.5%, 4.4%, and 5.2%. Coach was not included among the Top 10 Global Luxury Goods Players in general, but specific to accessories, they have an estimated 6% market share compared to Burberry’s 4%. This data illustrates that Burberry is doing quite well. They are one of the Top 5 Global Luxury Goods Players and it appears that they have plenty of room for growth. Unlike many of its other competitors, as mentioned by Rosie Bravo, Burberry has positioned itself as brand that is not only aspirational, but also functional. This best of both worlds quality differentiates Burberry from many of the other players. Under Bravo’s guidance, Burberry now appeals to a wide demographic in terms of age, income, and fashion preferences. However, this might actually be an area of concern because now every firm is a competitor. In essence, Burberry does have a very sustainable competitive position, though it might be wise to shift towards one spectrum (i.e. lifestyle or fashion) instead of straddling between the two.…
