Objectives Of An Organization 's Success

The commonly held opinion of the fashion icon, Barbie, has contributed an impeccable standard for young girls--from the unhealthy body images for girls to the low self-assurance Barbie has brought upon them. To counteract the previous statement, with the help of Barbie’s many job titles, women 's equal rights and opportunities have flourished. The creator of Barbie, Ruth Handler, created her so that, “through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman has choices,” (Mattel 2016) to serve a purpose as a role model to show kids to love themselves instead of trying to be like her.The unrealistic self image and lifestyle of glamour and riches were designed strictly for

A new Barbie commercial challenges us to question, “What happens when girls are free to imagine they can be anything?” (“Imagine the Possibilities”). Mattel has created an inspiring and thought provoking ad. The ad, titled “Imagine the Possibilities,” was developed and published by Mattel as a promotion for Barbie Dolls. The ad was originally published on Mattel’s YouTube channel (Rose). To create a successful advertisement, Mattel targeted a particular audience. A very specific purpose was kept in mind as Mattel created the ad. Rhetorical appeals were boldly used throughout the ad to capture the audience’s attention.

In society today, the world view of women has changed drastically. From plump, voluptuous figures of the Roman Empire, to today’s goddesses who wear eating disorders and insecurities as a badge of honor. Society and mass media have played a key role in changing the history of women today. Marge Piercy has beautifully depicted what it is like to be a young woman on the other side of society’s pressure on women for perfection. Marge Piercy’s “Barbie Doll” presents the act of preparing future house wives, constraining the natural woman, and the ultimate sacrifice of the divine feminine to show how impossible societal standards of beauty are.

What was that one doll every little girl just had to have growing up? What doll made little girls obsess with perfection? What doll set the unrealistic standards for girls starting at ages three or four? Barbie is a children’s toy that was first introduced to the market in 1959. Barbie was the perfect role model for all girls. She was perfectly skinny, had a perfect boyfriend and family, perfect hair, perfect house, perfect everything, but her existence is completely ironic. Although Mattel, creator of Barbie, attempts to make Barbie absolute perfection, all her imperfect buyers are wondering why they cannot look like the beautiful doll. She is responsible for the diminishing young girls’ self-confidence. Lisa Belkin believes girls in today’s society cannot comprehend what true beauty is because they were so entranced with the idea of Barbie in her online article “Banning Barbie.” Barbie should be pulled off the shelves immediately. Barbie’s looks, actions, and lust for materialistic objects are the blame for the degeneration of assurance in young girls and women.

To ensure the long term success of an organisation, strong clinical governance infrastructure needs to be put in place from the service’s inception. Clinical governance refers to the system by which a governing body, as well as the staff of an organisation share responsibility and accountability for patient care, managing risks and instituting a system which monitors and improves standards. Within healthcare organisations clinical governance aim to develop an environment and processes in which the quality of care delivered within a system is continuously improved(1) with a goal to maintaining and improving standards of clinical practice, while dealing with failures in standards of care and poor performance within the system. Many aspects fall under the umbrella of clinical governance, with the WHO defining quality into four aspects; professional performance (technical quality), resource use (efficiency), risk management (the risk of injury or illness associated with the service provided) and patient’s satisfaction with the service provided(2). This framework is appropriate in designing the clinical governance infrastructure required for the success of the new aeromedical retrieval service. This paper will look at the elements of clinical governance infrastructure that need to be developed prior to the new aeromedical service commencing operation, as well as reviewing the literature available for transport ventilators and analyse their suitability for this service.

As such, most girls’ childhood stories are filled with their experiences with Barbie such as making Barbie their number one companion by always having her wherever they go, cutting off her long blonde hair, and feeling devastated if a sibling or a playmate ripped Barbie’s head off. Moreover, whether Americans are willing to accept it or not, the Barbie has significantly transformed American culture in so many diverse and subtle ways to comprehend fully. Although some have sweet nostalgic memories about Barbie, most girls’ lives have been negatively affected by beholding Barbie as a major female icon during their childhood (Battistoni 26). Despite being a mere plastic toy, to the young girls, the Barbie life is all they ever want and strive to be in life; hence, most use Barbie as the guiding standard against which they have to measure and assess their lives on all spheres. Nonetheless, since attaining the Barbie blonde status in real life is an elusive endeavor, most girls have subjected themselves to immense pain leading to poor mental health and low self-image. This is because they are convicted

The commercial “Princess Machine” aims at creating awareness of the new toy for girls and also changing society’s mentality about gender roles. The commercial starts off with three female children watching a princess show. However, contrary to normal expectations, they looked bored to death and found no interest in the program. Then the girls divert their attention into trying to change the channel, but went about it in a unique way. Series of items had been placed strategically in order to trigger a chain reaction that would eventually help change the channel. The commercial uses three girls from different races – white, black, Asian- to indicate that girls all over the world are capable of taking on new experiences. It also reveals to society

Breasts. Bows. Barbie dolls. The foundation of a societal female identity has been established and reinforced time and time again. As children, we are taught which physical attributes and personal preferences align with the stereotypical women’s figure, culminated in the Bratz Doll. “Sugar, spice and everything nice” has taken on a modern day spin. Less room exists for the model quiet, book reading girl while more space is made for the spacey mean girls whose handbag contents include lap dogs and hair brushes.

Much like Disney cartoons, the creation of an ideal type of fashion-show beauty is based primarily on the worship of the generic blonde image of womanhood. Of course, Barbie is a doll that is made into an adult figure, which defines the role model that young girls should follow as part of popular culture. This is a clear form of cultural indoctrination by forcing the child to witness the popular meaning of Barbie as an icon of American culture. More so, the popularization of Barbie is one way in which the Mattel Corporation (like the Disney Corporation) can portray idealized an unrealistic examples of women as a type of cultural child rearing. The Barbie has become the generic version of the adult American female, which is often promoted as an ideal toy for young people in the toy marketplace. For instance, Steinberg (2009) defines the way in which the “adult” shape of the Barbie provides a means of commercial indoctrination at a very young age in childhood

I vividly remember at my 6th birthday party blowing out the candles on my Barbie doll cake. Neither my parents nor I knew that would be the start to my obsession with Barbie, a fashion doll manufactured by Mattel, an American multinational toy company. For every holiday and birthday, I received anything associated with Barbie. Over the years, I accumulated an absurd amount of Barbie and Ken dolls, along with clothes and accessories. I even had a Barbie bike and a helmet. My fascination with Barbie dolls is that it allowed me to experiment and imaginatively play out my future as a teenager or adult with my platinum blond Barbie doll. I viewed Barbie as the perfect dream-girl image, she had the perfect hair, skin, toned legs, big breasts and an hourglass torso. Unfortunately, for many years this was how I perceived what an ideal woman was supposed to look like.

Everyone knows the name Barbie. You’d be hard pressed to walk into a house of young children and not find Barbies laying around complete with all of her accessories; especially in the late 90’s or early millennium. Mattel, and more so Barbie herself, are easily household names worldwide. It’s an easy assumption that every young girl only wants Barbie dolls in her playroom, but maybe not for the right reasons. There has been controversy over Barbie since her introduction.

Everyone wants to have an ideal “fit” and “sexy” body type. A lot of girls wanted to be this “barbie” kind of doll that most girls have. An article by Christine Williams stated that “Today sociologists and media scholars argue that to understand the doll and its impact, it is necessary to examine Barbie play in context. Evidently children use the doll the same way that adults use popular culture: to fantasize, to imagine alternative worlds and alternative lives, to project their needs and desires, and to define and refine their sexual identities” (Williams). Speaker 2: Barbie dolls were certainly a big hit a long time ago because their skinny appearance and glamour.

From the 1950s up to now, Barbie has evolved. From initially just Caucasian dolls, Mattel has expanded Barbie races. African American, Hispanic, Indian, Asian, Hispanic, African, Native American, and Pacific Islander versions of Barbie can easily be found on today’s shelves. Not only has Barbie’s changed physically, but her, musculature transformed. Barbies come in petite, tall and curvy. Introducing the different sized Barbies allowed for doll-players (especially young girls) to identify with a doll that modeled themselves. This change could get more body types involved in advertisements surrounding Barbie. In addition, in the 1960’s Barbie’s domesticity shifted and she began to explore different career options such as, “Fashion Editor, Student teacher, Junior designer, modern artist, and Miss astronaut” (Springer 240). Looking back, giving women more opportunities men usually occupied was a huge move in the 1950s. Women were expected to raise their children and keep their husbands satisfied. Now, Barbie can be a president, a business executive, US Army Officer, or surgeon. Women truly moved forward and as opinions change, throughout time Barbie tries to adjust as well. Mattel will continue to build a doll that stretches the imaginations of young girl, promotes body

Barbie has been the face of the Mattel Inc. brand for multiple generations. By promoting toys such as the “Barbie Deluxe Stylin’ Head”, young girls are introduced to the idea of perfection, planted with seeds of thought that to be “beautiful,” someone must have characteristics like Barbie. These mentalities lead them to transform their appearance by replicating the dolls’ hair, makeup, and/or nails, and establishing that in order to be deemed beautiful as barbie, one must have blonde hair, a thin waist, a toned figure, and, most importantly, have fair skin. Conditioning young girls for a life of insecurity emphasizes Barthes overall claim that “All toys…are essentially a microcosm of the real world” (Barthes, p. 53).
