In the small town of Dickinson in Texas, on August 9th 1990, 8-year-old Jennifer Schuett was abducted by Dennis Earl Bradford. After being taken straight from her bed through her bedroom window, Bradford attempted to calm Schuett by reassuring her he was an undercover officer. Bradford then strangled, raped and lacerated Shuett’s neck, leaving her to bleed out in a field. Shuett recalls him asking her “Am I scaring you little girl? Am I scaring you?” Schuett was left helpless and immobile until she was found by children playing a game of tag. Bradford was not identified or arrested for his actions until 19 years later. However, before he could be tried, Bradford committed suicide in his jail cell.

“Losing weight is hard enough: you faint, you vomit, you stop menstruating but it’s even harder when you do not have the support of the people around you,” she said. “Even when I did lose twenty five pounds, my friends were so jealous, telling me I looked terrible. My mom is the worst of all. She’s just afraid that if I am thin and beautiful, it will make her look bad.” Fernandez is sick of her mom, therapist, the paramedics, and doctors trying to control her. “They do not have to live in this horrible body, I do.”

Around 1903 when my parent's died to survive, my brother, Andrew, and I began to perform a musical act on the streets of Chattanooga. I sang and my brother accompanied me on the guitar, often in front of the White Elephant Saloon. In 1912, when Clarence my older brother returned to Chattanooga, he persuaded the managers of his troupe, Lonnie and Cora Fisher, to give me an audition. Consequently, I was hired as a dancer with the Moses Stokes Company, to perform in a show that included the Mother of the Blues, Ma Rainey. Intriguing rumors surround our meeting—legend has it that Ma Rainey literally kidnapped me, that she and her husband forced me to tour with their show, teaching me in the process how to sing the blues. Some rumors say we had

Branch Rickey a pioneer in the sport of baseball, taking it to where no owner of any baseball club even thought to go. Rickey was the first baseball executive to successfully, or even try to sign a black man to a major league contract. In 1946, Rickey signed on Jackie Roosevelt Robinson from the Kansas City Monarchs, a negro league team, to the Brooklyn Dodgers’ Triple A baseball team, smashing the racial barrier present in baseball for the last five decades. Rickey is a significant figure in American history because he is the first person to integrate a Major League Baseball roster.

Thomas Oscar Simpson was born on September 19th 1933 to Alleta Mae and George Henry. In 1954, Thomas lost his Mother. My Mother said, “My father, Aletta’s son, Thomas Simpson (Tom) reports he was first at the scene. Tom was working with his Uncle George Scott on a plow at George’s home which was across the street from the Simpson property. While working Tom and George heard a loud noise. They saw smoke and the tractors wheels in the air. They found her dead beneath the tractor. The steering wheel had crushed her chest and the gas throttle was by the side of her face.”

What makes a person a hero is their unhabitual nature to inspire others to believe that anyone can do what they want. One such man has earned his way to becoming such a hero: Chris McCandless. Christopher McCandless was a young man who decided to leave his old life, to become Alex Supertramp, and go out to do whatever he saw fit. The controversy around the life and death of Chris McCandless has been highly debated on whether he should be admired as a hero or shamed for being a fool. Chris McCandless has gained the right to be admired for being free-willed, iconic, and brave.

Twenty-one years ago this month, on September 6, 1992, the decomposed body of Christopher McCandless was discovered by moose hunters just outside the northern boundary of Denali National Park. He had died inside a rusting bus that served as a makeshift shelter for trappers, dog mushers, and other backcountry visitors. Taped to the door was a note scrawled on a page torn from a novel by Nikolai

Morgan Jackson is someone I met within the first week of my freshman year (this was a feat in and of itself). I remember meeting her and wanting to be friends with her because she seemed smart-witted, friendly, and considerate; so I started to talk to her about biology and pre-med (because she is a biology major with a pre-med emphasis). She is one of those people who has their life together; she handles the balance between her extracurricular activities and academics impeccably. She has a 3.8 GPA and has a high class standing. For as long as I have known her, Morgan has always been involved in Lottie’s Hall Government. In fact, it was through Hall Government that we became good friends.

I have lost quite a bit of respect for Lindsay Morgan Lohan actress, model, and singer. In a way, I also feel sorry for her because her parents haven’t been the best parents publicly. Lindsay’s dad made public remarks about his daughter's childhood problems, that I would considered to have been private. Her mother didn’t help the situation any by going out with her daughter and partying. Her parents were fighting with one another publicly, Lindsay Lohan started her career as a young child, and she had became a public figure for younger people. My children loved her movies, Freaky Friday, Herbie Fully Loaded, the Parent Trap, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Mean Girls. When Lindsay got older she turned into a girl who liked to party

Morgan Freeman an actor, director, and narrator who has been in at least 87 films and is considered to be one of the most inspirational actors on and off the screen (“Morgan Freeman: Charity Work & Causes.”). Freeman had his first big break when he got one of the leading roles in Who says I can’t ride a rainbow which led him to get minor roles in small films which later helped him to land major roles in Hollywood (“Morgan Freeman.”). He has won numerous awards in his years of acting but one of his most significant has been a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. Morgan Freeman easily has a net worth of 200 million dollars yet he does not dwell on that. With his net worth, he has dedicated most of his time to donate to charities and help other people in need.

Brittany’s situation impacted me the most because the reason that I always want to get thin is the same as her. She had a very strong feeling to get thin because she really cared about how people think about her. This kind of concern came from the experience from her young age. People’s perspectives were like knives, which poked her heart or cut her skin, so she felt extreme pain and depress from it. When she had to leave the center to keep going on her normal life, I felt that she was really not ready to leave, so at that time I guessed that she would not go on a normal life like a normal person. At the end of the video, the video mentioned that she began to restrict again and lost weight. I think the main reason on her situation is that her psychological problem has never been solved, so she continues to be depressing, and her depression reflexes on the eating

Weight Watchers has faced a number of issues in the past several years, many of which are highlighted in the case study for this assignment. The company was able to reach a financial high point earlier this decade in 2011 when it recorded a record breaking 1.8 billion in revenues. However, the company’s finances have slowly dwindled ever since then, culminating in losses for seven straight quarters and low stock prices at the beginning of 2015. The core of the problems it was facing were relatively straightforward. The weight loss industry was changing, and Weight Watchers was having difficult changing along with it. Specifically, the company had troubles modernizing its business model to account for the digital age as represented by increasing online options for weight loss. This fact was compounded by the reality that there was greater competition, including that from organizations whose primary business was to capitalize on digital technology to attract customers. Technologies such as mobile devices, mobile applications, cloud computing, and social media had made considerable strides in the way that people were monitoring and attempting to lose weight. Weight Watchers, however, had had only marginal success using these technologies, and faced the undesirable situation in which its methods were becoming rapidly outdated.
