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.

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
