In my point of view, vision is one of another senses that does not necessarily receive information only from the environment, because sometimes, when our brain is thinking, our eyes can see…

America has a hierarchy of body size that places thin people at the top and fat people at the bottom. This has been a rather recent development; slightly more than 100 years ago, fatness was considered attractive because it showed that the person could afford to eat well and gain weight. However, in the late 1800s, being fat began to be looked at as if it exemplified “an inward and spiritual disgrace, of laziness, of self-indulgence” . Because of a changing economy that allowed for more food to…

MSUD results from a malfunction of the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex…

Childhood Obesity Obesity is the accumulation of excessive fat tissue. There are several ways of determining excessive fat; the most commonly used is the Body Mass Index (BMI).

Hofstede found that individualistic cultures value personal time, freedom, challenge, and such extrinsic motivators as material rewards at work. In family relations, they value honesty/truth, talking things out, using guilt to achieve behavioral goals, and maintaining self-respect. Their societies and governments place individual social-economic…

Unfortunately, some companies have mismanaged their greatest asset—their brands. This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994. Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…
