    My Personal Goal Statement Every day I wake up, I ask myself how I can make a difference. This question has helped shape my personal values and principles and directed my path into the nursing field. Growing up in West Africa and witnessing firsthand the sufferings and impoverishment of the people around me, I developed a sense of compassion and willingness to make a difference and help alleviate their sufferings and put a smile on their faces. Healthcare delivery and poverty are two major underlying factors in the challenges faced in Africa, thus, when I got an opportunity to come into the United States, it was my golden ticket to finally give back to the community and make a difference. This led me into the nursing field; I started out as a Certified Nurse Assistant.…

    Within the beauty industry, you hear about companies such as Victoria’s Secret starting campaigns such as “Perfect Body” with girls who seem to be at an unhealthy weight range. The Victoria’s secret campaign is a great example of unethical marketing due to the message they are sending out to their younger audience. Thousands of people ended up arguing with the company to have them remove their ad and apologize, but they changed the campaign to “A perfect body for everybody” (Stampler, 2014). The marketing for the perfect body campaign was unethical on Victoria’s Secrets part due to its nature of suggesting that in order to be “perfect” you need to have tons of makeup and be super skinny. In reality, the beauty industry within modeling can really impact a person’s self-esteem and…
