Introduction Starting with Barbara Welter in the mid-1960s, feminist scholarship has explored the various issues and aspects of the ‘cult of True Womanhood.’ This phrase refers to an ideology that developed in the mid-nineteenth century that defined what it meant to be a True Woman in America during that time period as it is represented in the written records of diaries, journals, newspapers, magazines and other media. Scholarship has focused on how this ideology was promoted both by women and men, constricting others to ‘fall into line’ if they wished to be accepted in society. At the same time it was working to constrain women within a codified image, this thought process served as the catalyst to push women into the public sphere. Although the idea of the True Woman really only defined a small percentage of the women of America, namely the white, middle-class urban woman, this ideology functioned to both constrain women from participating in the world outside of the home as well as to propel women into the outer world. Main text The idea of True Womanhood was based upon an Americanized version of the English Victorian ideals. “The attributes of True Womanhood, by which a woman judged herself and was judged by her husband, her neighbors and society, could be divided into four cardinal virtues – piety, purity, submissiveness and domesticity. Put them all together and they spelled mother, daughter, sister, wife – woman. Without them, no matter whether there was fame, achievement or wealth, all was ashes. With them, she was promised happiness and power” (Welter 1966 p. 152). In leaving the farms for the cities with the new modernization of the cities and factories, Welter and others hypothesized that it became necessary for women to uphold the traditional ideologies the family had held dear while in a rural setting, thereby restricting them to a single idealized image of what embodies the True Woman. “The nineteenth-century American man was … at work long hours in a materialistic society. The religious values of his forebears were neglected in practice if not in intent, and he occasionally felt some guilt that he had turned this new land, this temple of the chosen people, into one vast countinghouse. But he could salve his conscience by reflecting that he had left behind a hostage, not only to fortune, but to all the values which he held so dear and treated so lightly. Woman, in the cult of True Womanhood … was the hostage in the home” (Welter 1966 p. 21). The hierarchy of the four core values of True Womanhood was further delineated by Welter in their order of social importance. “Young men looking for a mate were cautioned to search first for piety, for if that were there, all else would follow” (Welter 1966 p. 152). Because religion didn’t take women away from her proper place within the home like so many other societies or movements did, piety was considered a safe avenue for a woman to pursue. “She would be another, better Eve, working in cooperation with the Redeemer, bringing the world back from its revolt and sin. The world would be reclaimed for God thr
The essential role of a true marketing professional goes well beyond advertising and selling a product. It includes researching the market for a specific product and identifying its potential customers. Marketing a product also includes price fixing, locating suitable local vendors and determining suitable transportation channels (Perreault & McCarthy 2005). It’s Popcorn Time’s (IPT) primary business is selling popcorn, pretzels and cookies through storefronts and telephone orders. Their popcorn and pretzels are flavored using proprietary coating techniques, thereby offering them a unique selling point. It is mainly targeted at locals residing in the Havertown and Philadelphia areas. The marketing manager’s job in IPT would be to co-ordinate with the sales team in matters pertaining to product’s promotional strategies, strengths and weaknesses. He/she would also have to interact with the management discuss to risk factors, pricing, ways to counter competition, advertising medium and ideas to create market awareness. IPT is planning to launch new delicacies like shoofly pie and horehound candy, which have an Amish origin. The company will have to sensibly price its new line of treats to cater to the middle-income group of Pennsylvania Dutch community. The target demographic would mainly comprise children and young adults. IPT can advertise its new food choices in local dailies, magazines and distributing fliers. The promotion for the new delicacies can include giving away free samples, complimentary coupons, introductory rebates, sweepstakes and organizing kids’ contests (Robinson 1991). Once IPT has succefully captured the local market and achieved a profitable quarter, it can start concentrating on expanding operations to in Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Washington DC. The marketing manager will have to conduct market surveys and identify competition in these areas to successfully establish business in new locations. Wholesale pricing for bulk purchases and seasonal pricing strategy to balance profits during lean patches will also have to be worked out. Reference Perreault, W.D, & McCarthy, J. (2005).

Pineapples and their flavor are traditionally associated with summer and pleasures, and moreover, with certain uniqueness and exotics. People who meet me at their life paths are inclined to experience similar emotions and feelings while analyzing the details of my appearance and character, and my friends agree that the discussion of pineapple as the sunny exotic fruit is the best variant to find the approach to my complex personality. That is why it is important to refer to my character while describing the rich taste of a unique and striking pineapple. Why do pineapples draw people’s attention and evoke pleasant associations? Pineapples are often valued because of their extremely pleasant taste. However, there are few people who know how to reach the sweet pulp of a pineapple carefully to save the juice. Thus, it is too difficult to get the sweet and juicy pulp of a pineapple immediately because it is saved under the thick and hard peel. People cannot get the pulp if they do not know the right way to reach it successfully. I consider the hard brown peel of pineapple as the protection from the invasions to reach the sunny yellow and juicy pulp. This kind of pleasure cannot be available for any person! Nature thinks about pineapples and protects their pulp from the negative effects of the environments. That is why, whenever people reach the core of a pineapple, they receive the opportunity to enjoy the thick pulp full of juice and sweetness. If pineapple is protected with the hard peel because of nature’s care, I should protect my inner world independently to save the best features of my character from pleasing my friends and relatives. It is irrelevant to me ‘sweety’ for everyone, but it is significant to be ‘sunny’ for close people. Pineapples are exotic fruits which are full of sun energy. The task is to risk and taste them. To give a lot of solar energy to people around me is also my task as the Kuwaiti person full of joy and dreams. However, I choose to be shy and protect myself from the negative impact of other people. My inner ‘sun’ is only for people who were not frightened to peel off my hard protection. During the process of growth, a plant of pineapple overcomes several stages. At the first three stages, a pineapple resembles a red fragile and tender flower. This stage is correlated with the period of my childhood when I started to explore the world around me. To protect my fragile inner wor

Literature is a piece of art which has many purposes in human life. Serving for entertainment or information delivery, literature is a good source of religious and philosophical ideas which reflect specific culture. Being a world treasure which gathers many ideas, world literature shares specific knowledge of the author with others. Speaking about world literature, it is essential to state that many books transfer cultural, religious and philosophical ideas followed by the author of the book. Thus, Inferno and The Thousand and One Nights are two examples which show that literature may be religiously and philosophically directed. Examining these pieces of literature, it becomes obvious that each of these woks has specific religious and philosophical purposes and they have successfully served these purposes for many years. Inferno as a part of Dante’s The Divine Comedy is a reflection of personal author’s ideas about religion. The author is sure that people are divided into those who are in the hell and those who are in the paradise. Depending on the severity of sins, the author shows his nine circles of hell which divide people, their sins and the sufferings they are to be committed to for their sins. Coming out of the first circle located closely to the surface of the earth and finishing with the final ninth circle in the middle of the Earth, the author presents his personal vision of suffering which is his consideration about the nature of sin, religion, etc. Even th

Homer Parrish is a character in the movie “Best years of our lives”. The movie chronicles the lives of three soldiers returning from the war. Homer Parrish is returning from the war with severe injuries that have resulted in both his arms being amputated. Therefore, Homer has to adjust to both the civilian life and his disability. Other characters in the movie are Al Stephenson a middle-aged family man who worked as a loan officer, and a scarred Fred Derry who served in the Air force. Homer’s personality is well highlighted throughout the movie. For instance, his numerous encounters with other characters especially his fiancé give great insight into his personality. The first trait in his personality is extroversion. Right from the beginning, Homer’s character is outgoing, talkative, energetic, and enthusiastic. All these traits are synonymous with extroversion. For example, in the scene where Mr. Mollett approaches him with a question, his answer is riddled with humour and sarcasm. This conversation is just one among many in which Homer uses skilled humour. Homer’s character is also very talkative. He is not intimidated by any of the people he encounters. Even when he is trying to cut his girlfriend loose, he still does it talkatively. Another trait that points towards Homer being an extrovert is his use of gestures and facial expressions. His personal warmth is what makes his friend Fred volunteer to be the best man at his wedding. Following these examples, it can be speculated that Homer has an extroverted personality. Another trait used in determining a person’s personality is one’s agreeableness. This trait shapes a person’s trust, forgivingness, generosity, and kindness. Homer’s agreeableness is mostly on the negative side. When he gets into an argument with a customer at the soda store, the confrontation ends in a physical altercation. This incident points towards lack of agreeability. Another manifestation of this trait is his distrust towards his girlfriend Wilma. While Wilma insists that she is okay with Homer’s condition, Homer takes a long time to believe her. Homer also has a neurotic personality. This personality trait is highlighted in various instances. At the beginning of the video, there are several instances when Homer pities himself. In another incident, he compares himself to a baby. This self-pitying is synonymous with neurotic personalities. It is also clear that from the way he answers people self defensively, he has neurotic tendencies. Fluctuating moods are also associated with neurotic persons. During most of his conversations with Wilma, this trait is evident. A neurotic personality is also susceptible to depression, hostility, and anxiety. Homer’s personality is mostly open. The openness is witnessed in various incidences. For instance, there is
Poetry is a unique art form as it usually captures the feelings of a particular individual. Therefore, two poems with the same genre and similar themes can have substantial differences. On the other hand, verses that seem different can share striking resemblances. To compare and contrast two poems, this essay example will focus on the message they carry. “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” is a poem written by Langston Hughes during the Harlem Renaissance. It was 1921, and the young Hughes was just adding his voice to the plight of the African Americans at the time. “We Wear the Mask” is a piece by the famous author and activist Laurence Dunbar. The lyrical poem was written twenty-five years before Hughes published “The Negro Speaks of Rivers.” By comparing two poems, this essay example will reveal both their similarities and differences. These two poems were written in the period between the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement. This period was characterized by deep emotions concerning the struggles of the African Americans. Each of these poems represents the poets’ feelings towards the struggles of the African Americans. “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” chronicles the speaker’s historical journey from Africa to the West. The speaker refers to African Americans, their history, and their heritage. The poem captures this rich heritage albeit in a nostalgic manner. On the other hand, “We Wear the Mask” is a poem by one of the first African American writers to be accorded a national accolade for his work. Dunbar explores the coping mechanisms of the African Americans during their struggles. Both poems address issues that happen in the same period. Dunbar’s poem was published at the turn of the century shortly after slavery was outlawed. This period was expected to be a victorious time for African Americans and everyone assumed that they were happy. “We Wear the Mask” disputes this idea and presents an argument that happiness among the African American population was a façade. According to Dunbar, deep inside, African Americans have ‘torn and bleeding hearts’. The message in this poem is not direct and it is in line with the situation in the ground. When this poem was written, the fight for equal rights among African Americans had not started in earnest. Instead, the struggle for equal rights was just bubbling under the surface. Dunbar’s poem hints at this discontent by claiming that African Americans were just masking their feelings. Dunbar digs deeper into the issue by claiming that most of the population at the time was hiding behind religion to avoid confronting the issues of inequality. In addition, the speaker accuses the African American population of misleading the rest of the population about their actual feelings. Langston Hughes’ poem has a more melancholic tone. Hughes wrote “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” twenty-five years after Dunbar’s poem was written. Hughes’ poem uses a different approach to address the African American issues of the time. His poem highlights the pride of origin that African Americans have. The speaker in this poem speaks proudly about his rich history and heritage and how it is closely connected to some mighty rivers
