Pooh : Pooh And The Great Online Shopping Festival

Thanksgiving traditions don't end on Thanksgiving Day. In the 1950s, the day after Thanksgiving was called Black Friday by factory managers because so many workers called in sick and the Philadelphia Police Department took to calling the day Black Friday to describe the traffic jams, crowds and shoplifters during the start of the holiday shopping season. Black Friday signals the start of the holiday shopping season, but it may be a tradition that's continuing to evolve as stores vie to be the earliest to open Thanksgiving Day.

Ah Christmas, it is said to be the most wonderful time of the year. In the United States Christmas is a time of giving and receiving, spending time with your family, and in most Christian families, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas is hands-down the most highly commercialized holiday celebrated by Americans. In fact, according to CBS news, the average American will spend $700 on gifts this holiday season, totaling for a whopping $465 billion spent nation-wide. From mall Santas as far as the eye can see, to hearing Christmas music in every retail store you enter. Christmas is a time of high spirits and high spending in the U.S.

Black Friday is the following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. Black Friday is not an official holiday, but many workers have the day off as part of the Thanksgiving holiday, this increases the number of potential shoppers. Retailers often decorate for the Christmas and holiday season weeks beforehand. Many retailers open extremely early, with most of the retailers typically opening at 5 A.M. or even earlier. Retailers use Black Friday to kick off the holiday season to use much of their products to go from the red to the black.

Holidays have always been known to affect our consumer culture for many years, but how it all began eludes many people and very few studies have been completed on it. Even though some say that the subject is too broad to precisely identify how holidays, especially Christmas, directly affect our market, I have found that people’s values, expectations and rituals related to holidays can cause an excessive amount of spending among our society. Most people are unaware that over the centuries holidays have become such a profitable time of year for industries that they now starting to promote gift ideas on an average of a month and a half ahead of actual holiday dates to meet consumer demands.

During the holidays each day it is special.Like on Monday, there will be a carnival and on Tuesday no one goes to work.This doesn't stop until the holidays stop.The ideas can repeat and repeat over and over but they can make som new ideas for that pacific day so it can be different.

I can’t believe that it is almost Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving because you got a lot of food and sometimes people go black Friday shopping. Black Friday shopping is a very scary thing. I have seen some very scary people on that night/morning. It drives me crazy when someone

In recent years, Christmas holiday shopping has begun earlier and earlier, starting even before the end of October. Stores, street lights, and houses are decorated with brightly colored lights, animatronics, and inflatable images of Santa, Rudolph, Frosty and the Grinch. Holiday sales begin on Thanksgiving instead of Black Friday, making it impossible for salespeople to spend time with family, enjoying food and games while reflecting on all that the family has to be thankful for. Admittedly, I am not a fan of shopping on Black Friday, but I have friends that say that getting up early and rushing around stores for special bargains is a fun family tradition; however, it seems that every year there are media reports of people being injured or fights breaking out over getting that one all important item. Many people go into debt making credit card purchases of nonessential items. All that aside, though, the holiday season causes many people to become more charitable, providing food to the homeless, visiting lonely elders in nursing homes and providing clothing and gifts to children in need; it would be wonderful if people kept that giving spirit all year long.

How do you tell which elements of nonfiction and forms of rhetoric authors utilize in their articles? In the article, “How Online Shopping Makes Suckers of Us All”, Jerry Useem makes use of several literary devices to inform his audience of the shadowy world of computer algorithms that control the consumer’s online shopping experience. In this article, Useem uses cultural and economic factors to elicit a response from the reader, as this topic can make people think more about what happens when they shop online. The author also incorporates two styles of rhetoric into his article, pathos, and logos. He writes using pathos to engage the audience emotionally by speaking about the drastic price changes over the hours, days, months, and years, and to inform consumers about their lack of consent during studies (“Arguments Best Friends”). He is using logos in his article by telling facts and showing evidence, such

With more people switching from offline to online shopping and the lack of a physical staff to aid in the purchasing process, it is important that the organizations ensure their website provides ease of use for customers, from viewing the products to the check-out process.
