In the 15th century, The Medici Family became “Europe’s greatest banking dynasty.” Once wealthy textile merchants, the Medici Family used their wealth to become dukes of Florence and eventually held positions of four popes and two French regents.

Furthermore, the Medici introduced the idea of lending and as Ferguson argues, the “decentralization of their lending and reaching…

“Women have talent and intelligence but, due to social constraints and prejudices, it is still a long distance away from the goal of gender equality” (Pratibha). Being a girl we are considered weak because we are accused of not having “manly skills.” Girls are reflected as crybabies since we are emotional, but girls are emotional because we have big hearts. There are 7 out of 10 girls that feel they don’t belong in a sport around puberty, at a moment where their confidence plummets and they are…

The True Story of Ella As she walked down the dirty path in the woods, she kept looking behind her, with a sense that she was being followed. The sky was dark with only the moon to guide her. The only sounds that could be heard were the soft hoots of an owl and the hints of music from the festival.

makeup to clothes, they were also the populars and Barbies of the school (hence the name “Plastics”). The second Barbie stereotype brought on by the media is the “dumb to Semi-Dumb blonde.” In the 2001 movie Legally Blonde “a [blonde girl named] Elle Woods finds her inner intelligence and transforms her beauty queen mentality into one of [a competent modern day female lawyer]”(Stone 50). By the end of the movie, although she graduates from law school, top of the class, she still has the “dumb…

Ever since I watched the movie Legally Blonde, it has been my dream (and probably most college girls) to join a sorority and have sisters like Elle Woods did. During the summer right before entering my freshman year at University of West Florida, I decided to research more on what sorority life is actually about. When doing my research, I found out my school had five Panhellenic sororities all of whom had different values and to join you have to get selected by going through a recruitment…

As a young child I went to my mother for advice on everything. She taught me to always be a kind person and to always treat everyone fairly. I always loved cooking with her. I was an obedient child and never went against my parents wishes. In middle school my twin sister and I both changed and separated from each other, as well as my closeness with my mother. My sister became a traditional “preppy” girl and I became a quite, gothic chick. My need for my parents advice and guidance became…

Sara's friend, who happens to be Derek's sister, even agrees with a comment made by Derek's ex-girlfriend that White girls always try and take the few good Black men that are left. Sara's father does not approve either. Sara and Derek literally have to fight for their love. Both Sara and Derek got into physical confrontations with…

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.
