    Summary Of The Death Of Pretty By Pat Archbolds

    Summary Of The Death Of Pretty By Pat Archbolds

    In Pat Archbolds article “The Death of Pretty” he argues that women are no long how they used to be and that men want the girls so act and dress a certain way. I believe that Archbolds writes this article in a socially conservative bias. Archbold to me sounds to me like he is an old-fashioned person by the way he writes this article. Archbold can be seen as an old-fashioned person when he says, “Young women today do not seem to aspire to pretty, they prefer to be regarded as hot.” This explains that he is talking from experience as if he has experienced a different type of women is his younger days, and it seems that he is a little resistant to the change that is now happen in today’s society.…

At the same time, a start-up internet seller, Blue Nile, became the second largest diamond seller in the U.S. While Hallstead’s was growing their fixed costs by doubling their rent payments, Tiffany and Blue Nile were increasing their revenue with “virtual” storefronts allowing them to increase sales with very little increase in expense. In an effort to explore ideas in strategy that would return the business to profitability, the sisters compiled some questions for their accountant to analyze using some additional operating statistics.…

    Betty J. Meggers

    Betty J. Meggers article, Environmental Limitation on the Development of Culture, examines how environmental habitats directly affect and influence culture. Meggers discusses the differing environmental types and its resulting effect on the people and their cultural development. Her theoretical framework is grounded on the idea that the relationship between culture and its environment is not only based in terms of subsistence (802), but largely to a culture’s experience with diffusion (822). Diffusion can best be defined as a process in which a cultural trait, idea, or behavior is spread from one society to another. While she does believe that the relative strength or weakness of an environment to provide a suitable…

    Betty Friedan Feminism

    During a college reunion, Friedan surveyed all of her classmates about their lives at home and came to realize that her classmates were not happy being housewives. Betty did not mean to write a whole book on this issue and only wanted to write an article that would be published in a magazine, but no magazine would publish it for her. Immediately after publishing The Feminine Mystique she received a powerful backlash. Many people used the words, “angry,” and “anger,” to describe The Feminine Mystique and Betty Friedan herself. The Feminine Mystique caused what is known to be “The Second Wave of Feminism.” Friedan caused many people to see how, “the other half,” lived. Friedan was influenced immensely by Simon De Beauvoir and her book, Le Deuxiéme…
