The internet has made e-commerce, relatively new but growing rapidly, a new avenue of sales potential. Every internet user is a potential customer (Holden, Belew, Elad, Rich, & Gulbrandsen, 2008). Like other major retailers, Sears has both physical and e-commerce storefronts. Starting out in the 1880’s as a mail order catalog company, it expanded to retail stores in 1925, and moved into department store formats as early as 1934 ("A Narrative History," n.d.) As in-store sale slow, it is…

of her footsteps echoes across the still, quiet land. It was almost as if a blanket covered the world, the only light was from the bright and big full moon. The darkness wraps around her as she hurries, but then, right as she runs past the light beige clock tower, it chimes thrice. “Midnight.” she thought. She gazes up at the towering, majestic turret, but sees something else. A racing shadow on the top balcony, “how strange.” she muttered. She stops upon the gravel road and watches, the…

The topic of the book Magic and Loss focuses on the Internet. The positive effect it has on the society, how influential it is, and the exploration and transition it withholds. Internet is a parallel universe that we live in besides earth, and we constantly teleport from one to another. While others argue that the internet, is cruel, ruins your energy, and causes health problems which is partially true, other belief that it is empowering, enlightening, inspiring and a work of art. My totem is…

Imagine the perfect two-story house in the suburbs surrounded by a white picket fence, and luscious green grass filling the front lawn. Dad is in his black business suit getting the newspaper full of current events. Mom is out in the front lawn with a beige visor protecting her soft skin from the rays of sunlight as she sprays water onto the plants in her garden. Brother and sister laughing and running across the yard chasing one another throwing a little red ball trying not to let the family…

Chewing over the Food of the Future? In Lizzie Widdecombe’s “The End of Food,”, the writer shares how “The notion that we can nourish ourselves with something purer and more effective than food has long been part of our collective fantasy life.” This thought holds true for many in the developed world today, for whom food certainly feels like a burden, rather than a pleasure. The time, money and effort of purchasing, preparation, and eating food all seem to be a nuisance. Nevertheless, Robert…

"We live not according to reason but according to fashion", said by Seneca. During the Middle Ages, fashion was a big factor that determined the rank of a person. Luxurious clothing meant a person was wealthy, whereas rags and simpler clothing proved a person had little money. Feudalism ranked people according to class during the Medieval Ages, from peasants to kings and queens. Peasant clothing greatly differed from royalty, and the royalty wanted nothing to do with peasants.…

on the couch, which Scruggs, a friend who was relegated to the floor, immediately claims, slinking up in one fluid motion. “You didn’t call one-five,” he’s like. “One-five?” I try. “Too late.” I shrug and climb over clothes and people’s legs to the beige, apartment-front-door-style door; I move through that, to the right: Aaron’s warm…

to put an end to food culture as we know it. Soylent “... has been heralded by the press as ‘the end of food,’ which is a somewhat bleak prospect. It conjures up visions of a world devoid of pizza parlors and taco stands—our kitchens stocked with beige powder instead of banana bread, our spaghetti nights and ice-cream socials replaced by evenings sipping sludge” (Widdicombe). Imagine being stripped of the social experience that food brings. Any date night would be grim without the restaurant to…

A Different Role I had always admired the cellos in the music rooms of Trudeau. In Grade 9, I started playing the double bass when I joined the strings program, and while I enjoyed bass, I had always wanted to play the cello. Making the switch was extremely difficult, but I worked hard for it, and now, over a year later, I am able to play decently. One of the first memories I had with cello started in February of 2015. I had just finished an entire semester of playing bass, and I was looking…
