Big Words And Satire In The Article 'Magnasoles'

There are over 7 Billion people in the world each with their own individual thoughts, ideas, and innovations. Based upon this fact, it is evident that there will be disagreements and conflicts amongst peers. In order to present these problems and arguments within the world in an entertaining, but informative way, satires are used. Satire is the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupiditiy or vices particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues. Through the use of exaggeration, humor, irony, and a variety of other similar techniques, controversial topics involving things such as politics can easily be presented.

The epitome of satire and disregarding the norms of society is what is achieved in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Throughout the whole novel Austen emphasizes the importance of women having self-value and marrying for the right reasons. She speaks of thoughts that would spur better treatment of women during the 1800’s and women being able to stand for what they believe in. Jane Austen unforgivingly ridicules society’s views on women, how they should marry, and how a person is to be treated depending on their social class and advocated the changing of said views through incredible biting satire.

Man is plagued with his own desire, leading to corruption and hypocrisy that pollutes the known world. In this world, men are met with tragedy, ranging from natural or Godly devastation, to the constructs he places on himself and to which he forces himself to conform. However, many of them still refuse to acknowledge this adversity, pursuing blind optimism. In his satirical novel, Candide, Voltaire exposes the foolishness of men and highlights the self-destructive nature of the world, thereby challenging the concept of blind optimism and arguing that one can be aware of their world and still enjoy life in it. Most specifically, Voltaire criticizes German philosopher Gottfried Leibniz’s through his own Leibnizian optimism, that this “is the best of all possible worlds”. Voltaire successfully refutes such ideology through the journey of his naive adventurer, Candide, and eventually settles that one can lead a happy life without being blindly optimistic.

In the Onion’s article consumers are being very gullible when it comes to purchasing the soles and the capability that the soles have to heal their serious injuries. Dr. Bunt in the article is claiming that the soles are unlike any other soles sold on the market, because they allegedly held special healing powers and properties. “What makes MagnaSoles different from other insoles is the way they harness the power of magnetism...align the biomagnetic field.” A lot of the words Dr. Bunt, who invented the MagnaSoles, is using are big sophisticated important sounding words that basically don’t even relate to anything they are talking about and describing. But at the same time exaggerated and falsified claims and what the soles can do as you walk. The other doctor in the article who "discovered" terranometry gives facts relating to how the soles work so efficiently and effectively with the Earth that he supports Dr. Bunt's claims.

The Onion states “Magnasoles are not just a shoe insert” “It’s a total foot-rejuvenation system”. By inferring the The Onion is really just claiming to be selling a product that is more than what it really is. Truthfully, Magna Soles are probably just another brand of shoe insoles. Additionally said by The Onion was “Only Magna Soles use the healing power of crystals to re-stimulate dead foot cells with crystals dead foot cells with vibrational biofeedback . . . a process similar to that by by which medicine makes people better.” Of course it is a must buy if the in soles are made with crystal technology. Which brings me to my next point, not just selling a fake product but complicated words to unnecessary

As the story opens the two women are sitting on the terrace of a Roman restaurant that has an astonishing view of the Colosseum and other Roman ruins. While the women sit in silence and enjoy the tranquil view from the terrace they notice their daughters down below running off to spend a romantic evening with two young men. This triggers Mrs. Slades memories of her and Mrs. Ansley’s quixotic adventures in Rome as young adults and their first encounter with “Roman fever”. Wharton uses the term Roman fever to illustrative the women’s past relationship that is embedded with destruction,

While most of us steadily pay attention to Hadassah - the young Jewish girl who would later become Queen Esther of Persia and would be instrumental in saving her people from total annihilation, I would like to build the focus on the powerful and narcissistic Ahasuerus - thought to be based on the Persian King Xerxes of Persia, whom Leonidas fought with the famous 300.

During Russia’s transition to communism in the early 20th century, conflict and unease permeated every part of life. Nothing was stable and very little of what the Bolsheviks had fought for had come to fruition by the time the USSR disbanded in 1991. The “classless society”, which was to work together for the prosperity of everyone, never became a reality. In the end, the majority of Russia’s 20th century was an utter failure on a grand scale. However, there were many amazing products of the system do to the great importance of education in Russian culture. Priceless novels were written, timeless movies were made, and great scientific endeavors were realized despite the rigid control placed upon Russian persons by the government. In

Within “This is Not a Book is the excerpt “The Standard View of Satire” authored by Fredric V. Bogel, whom presents satirical criticism, the relationship between satire and the objects of attack, and the history of satire. Bogel, meanwhile, suggests that the idea of satire has been critically misinterpreted. The author reinforces that “satire requires a compliant reader;” thus, the reader will limit his or her extent of critical uneasiness from a satiric attack (Bogel 31). A satirist aims to attack of an object through different forms such as exaggeration or wit. Per Bogel, there are two possibilities as to why satirists attack, “either the world is unpleasant and the satirist attacks it, or the satirist is unpleasant and attacks the world”(39).

Zimmer Biomet’s marketing strategy for a healthcare company is different than that of a pharmaceutical company that can market directly to the consumer through different marketing channels. Zimmer Biomet’s director of direct to consumer marketing, Robin Brown, says “marketing an implant to patients is not effective because an implant is big, surgery is intimidating, and patients fear the idea of being in a hospital.” Additionally, it would not be beneficial for Zimmer Biomet to market to patients because 82% of physicians do not mention or recommend an implant based on brand, and 63% of joint replacement candidates did not know the brand of implant they received (Multi-sponser Surveys, Inc. , 2007). In fact, patients truly only care about who the surgeon is and that they will perform a successful surgery. With this perception from the patients, Zimmer Biomet is able to market directly to surgeons, and they are able to reach consumers through other avenues and marketing channels.

The theme of this article is the efficacy on a study about the effect of donation. Similar to TOMS, other shoe brands (e.g. Skechers) will draw costumers in by associating their purchases with a donation of a pair of shoes to a child in need. The goal is to improve children’s health, confidence, education, and health. But evidence suggests that these goals are not being achieved. To confirm this evidence, TOMS hired a group of the researcher
