The Role and Status of Women in Swetnam & Speght Joseph Swetnam’s The Arraignment immediately begs the question of what role women actually played when the work was published in the early 1600s. However‚ as his discussion develops Swetnam’s motive for the piece becomes quite clear. He talks about bearbaiting‚ which in medieval England was a sport in which a bear was chained to a post and attacked by several dogs‚ except in this case Swetnam was referring to the bearbaiting of women.

Silent Spring by: Rachel Carson Review: This book was focused on the concern of pesticides that industries‚ along with us as individuals‚ have been dumping (both knowingly and unknowingly) into water. Carson was concerned that the chemicals which the farmers spread on their fields‚ and even the chemicals we use in our homes (among others)‚ in the end‚ might come back around and harm us. The beginning of the book tells a story of a place‚ that was once so beautiful‚ turned dead and ugly due

Analysis: I think this campaign was a very creative and innovative approach for a household cleaning supply company to take. The problem Clorox was facing was that it had a connotation of being a bleach product that only old people used. Since the company was losing its appeal towards younger parents‚ the overall goal of the campaign was to demonstrate that the least time consuming solution for modern day messes was Clorox. Research showed that parents are heavily influenced on recommendations

1. Starting off‚ if we were Palmer we would be disappointed that our top assistant is being taken away from our project. However‚ after taking an objective view of the situation‚ we would be able to realize it was the best move for the company. The situation was not working out because we were losing valuable work time from an employee. Because management decided on Olds working on the Crosby’s project‚ we would like management to find us a suitable replacement. Olds was a good employee‚ but he

Gray Case: Moss and McAdams Accounting Firm 1. If you were Palmer at the end of the case‚ how would you respond? If I were in Palmer’s position‚ I would accept Sands and Olds choice and move on as the bottom line is to work towards accomplishing the organization’s goals.

In addition‚ I would also persuade Sands to find someone who has a skill set close to
