“Could it be that we are supposed to be talking to the plants and animals, interacting with them, accepting the gifts they offer, and using them in ways that further their growth?”(Starhawk, 162). I feel this quote from “Our Place in Nature” is a great way to start the topic of how artists uses plant life in their work. It shows how artists might try to interact with the environment for ideas on the works that they come up. I feel also that they are trying to be one with the environment. I feel if you spend enough time in nature, you will build a strong connection with everything around you. This comment is justified when Starhawk said, “I can walk into any forest where the trees are strange and understand something about the relationships

The sales composition is split into 37% from grocery stores, 20% from drug stores, 35% from mass merchants and 8% from miscellaneous sources. 70% of their total sales value is derived from 10% of their important customers. The company has foreseen valuable increase in their demand and is about to face some problems due to their traditional distribution network and their competitors. To focus these issues, they have decided to improvise on certain issues by collaboration with suppliers and customers which are discussed below.

Material and ideological conditions are integral components of a market society, which interacted and changed the ways we view market society today. I will discuss the shift from traditional societies to a market society to explain what Polanyi refers to as “the great transformation”. I will then talk about the changes that have occurred in the workplace, the impact on these workers, and the worldview of those in a market society.

Old Peruvians were remarkable craftsmanship craftsmans with exceptionally created specialized abilities. Pre-Hispanic Peruvian craftsmanship has been gone back to old circumstances through the disclosure of weaving, gourds, wood, stone, gold, silver, earthenware and even mud, which were utilized for everyday living. This tribal legacy is still observed today in the beach front, mountain and wilderness towns, in an assortment of brilliant woven things. Silver filigree, cut gourds, Ayacuchan sacred places, Huamanga stone and wood carvings, Chulucanas stoneware and Monsefú ponchos, among others, are profoundly esteemed the world

Ecological art is an artistic movement to raise awareness and fight against the environmental damages caused by humans. This genre of art started in the 1990’s and uses practices from the 1960’s. The art practice works to preserve, reverse, stop environmental damage, or vitalize the life forms, resources and ecology of earth. These practices also serve as social-ecological modes of engagement stated by Sacha Kagan, in her article “The Practice of Ecological Art.” In this art practice artist can easily bring awareness and reach many people being that the actual art is normally in a public nature setting.

I will include in my analyses the possible components such as material as culture and non material culture, values, and norms the commercial is trying to transmit

With the introduction of transportation, caucho became an important demand and this caused the enslavement of Native Americans in the Amazonian rain. Bicycles became a form of transportation, but from this also came the invention of automobiles which also required the use of rubber. It was Karl Benz the first to ever create an auto. This precise invention generated a huge demand for rubber which in returned made Julio César Arana to be the king of rubber because of the high production of rubber. However, after slavery came to an end, so did Arana’s rubber company which work was achieved by the enslavement of Native

There are many options to consider when opening and operating a third brewery company for New Belgium. The most important thing for this new company would be that the company remains environmental conscious. I would have policies and procedures that would specifically deal with the waste of the company. The shipping process would also be of great importance, minimizing the environmental impact also on the shipping of the beer. We would then turn out attention on how power is generated while making the beer, reducing coal use would be of the upmost importance for the company. After all these policy and procedures have been followed, a strategic plan would be put in place that underlined the profit margin for the company to be re-evaluated

Even from our own cultural perspective of the last half of the 20th Century, we have cast a different light on some artifacts of our progress such as the long-term effect of the imposition of the United Fruit Company in the region described in the book or the encounter between Francisco Pizarro and the Inca emperor Athualpa in the Andean highlands.

CompuCo is attempting to move from a domestic producer to that of an international producer. In order to achieve this feat, the company must have an international focus in regards to its overall business operations. It is quite apparent from the case, that CompuCo does not have the will or desire to be proactive with its international subsidiaries. In order to achieve greater international success, Dr. Durand must first alter the company culture. First, all international subsidiaries should be treated as a primary business irrespective of their individual performance. It seems, through reading the case, that much more emphasis is placed on French product development and applications that is given to its international counterparts. This is a detriment to business as many of CompuCo's international customers have differing tastes and sentiments in regards to product offerings. The case cites numerous examples of this between both French and American consumers. French consumers, for example, like to read product manuals and prefer complexity over simplicity. Their American counterparts however prefer ease of use, and a simple design. The company was slow to discern these changes in consumer demands and elected instead to emphasize its French product design. This created consumer ill-will and

Our education should be aimed at educating people who love the world they lie in and who are ready to become peacemakers and healers of the world (Orr 55). A sustainable society “consists” of citizens, workers, specialists, technicians, etc, who are ready to work in order to build and support such society. One of the ways to provide such education is to “get outdoor”. The skills and abilities develop in real world and not in artificial situations in class. In this regard, we may refer to the Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”. One should “touch” the real world problems and get personal experience from it. Shadows in the cave are the retrospectives of the real knowledge. To acquire the knowledge, we should leave the “cave”. We can learn theory separated from practice and this will not have any result. Instead, we should understand that every individual is a part of the natural world, thus, education should be based on ecological literacy as “health of our planet” is one of the most urgent questions of the modern social community.

B) The brand personality of a company can be described as the set of human characteristics that attributed to the brand of a company. It is something by which the consumer can relate to the brand which can effectively increase the value of the brand by effectively communicating a sense of similarity to their customers. There are five main types of brand personalities, but the one that matches Nestle the best is, excitement. Nestle gives of vibes of a carefree attitude and connects best with consumers that are youthful and spirited. Because of the nature of the products Nestle offers, the idea of Point of Purchase (POP) becomes very important. Many of the Nestle consumers purchase their products at the payment isle of grocery stores, so POP sales become very important. This also allows packaging to play an extremely important role during the POP purchase. Because there are many other similar products in the check-out isle, it is important for Nestle to make their products stand out. According to a brand manager from Nestle, “For Nestle, packaging has a key role to play in brand recognition”. Environmental issues, mainly the use of biodegradable and sustainable materials, have a growing impact on package design and materials sourcing. This is something Nestle keeps in mind when communicating with their consumers and also when maintaining brand identity and packaging characteristics. Nestle also recently announced that they

The company is under critical observation on their supplier’s welfare and working conditions that has raised issue on upholding its branding (Yildiz, 2014,pg 580)

Marketing activities do not take place in a vacuum, and in developing the marketing mix the marketing environment must be taken into account. There may be legal/morale restrictions on advertising, for example cigarette companies are governed by huge restrictions on advertising their product, so they must find legal and morale ways of gaining consumer awareness. Also certain products have to pass health and safety standards, especially children's toys. In order to do this the design may have to be changed slightly, possibly moving away from the aim of consumer satisfaction. This suggests that it may be difficult and sometimes impossible to maintain the aim of consumer satisfaction, as there may be external factors prohibiting it. However it is the consumer who will inevitably decide the fate of a company, so a firm would do well to conduct its marketing activities as best it can with the consumer central and maintain a close and watchful eye on the dynamic nature of the macroenviroment and microenviroment.
