The article analyzes the way Wrigley Jr. Co. tries to widen its market for chewing gum. The main idea in the article is the use of medical studies on the benefits of the chewing gun to promote the product. The article also involves information about the change of the social meaning of the chewing gum achieved through public relation campaigns, which involved doctors. The motive of the author to write this article is to point out the advertising strategies of a big company such as Wrigley Jr. Co. thus it can not be identified as ulterior. I intend to use this source to support my analyses of the marketing strategies that Wrigley used to promote chewing gum and expand its markets in the United States and all over the world.

The article includes valuable information for the exploitation of chicle tappers and their livelihood, the participation of the chicle industry in the national development of Mexico and the modernization of the state. The article is reliable because the first author has a PhD “A political ecology of Northwest Amazonia’’ from Imperial College – London and the second, Michael Redclift, is Emeritus Professor of International Environmental Policy in the department of Geography at King’s College, London and the first recipient of the “Frederick Buttel Award”. I intend to use this article as a historical background for the region from which the natural chewing gum comes, thus it would help me support my argument over the exploitation of chicle tappers and international intrigues involved in the harvesting
They farmed such plants as squash, beans, guava and mostly fished shellfish, sardines and anchovies (2). This is why most of these sites to do with the Norte Chico can be found in costal Peru. The Norte Chico also built large monumental structures such as aqueducts (2). The Norte Chico also unlike the rest of the pre-historic sites we find do not have ceramics or any evidence of
In the mid-1930s, the Cubs owner, Philip K. Wrigley, was pouring over yearly figures when he noticed a correlation he didn’t like: When the cubs won fewer games, fewer people attended the games. He was set into fixing this. As the owner of Wrigley’s gum company he was a master of advertising. Wrigley wanted to emphasize in his ads about how going to the ballpark was fun and relaxing. The idea, he said, was “to get the public to go see ball games, win or lose.”

More in the article are numerous sources that makes a collage giving it an overall neatness and
Americans tend to turn to culture wars when they feel a deep anger and frustration about the state of affairs. An example of Americans caught in a culture war was during the Monica Lewinsky affair or as Fiorina puts it, “The year of angry white males”(2) where in the year 2000 Americans were more angry than ever before. A culture was is when a large number of people from a certain demographic oppose and loathe their
Today America prides itself on the themes sprinkled throughout the text. Many American citizens pride themselves on belonging to one of the most powerful and dominant
The articles in this essay will give three different insights on how American culture is perceived based on observations and first hand experiences. Jennifer Price, “The Plastic Pink Flamingo: A Natural History,” used the trend of the pink flamingo to describe a time of new and vibrant change that has shaped its culture to be strong and optimistic. Richard Rodriguez, Days in Obligation, gives his first hand experience of being a part of two different cultures to give a comparison between total opposite places, who have their own traditions and customs. Scott Sanders, Stay Put: Making a Home in a Restless World, presents his belief of ideas are more important to the American people than the places which they live in. All of these writers all give substantial information of their viewpoints which combined makes up the identity of American culture.
The most important aspect of this commercial is the pathos, for it is ripe with emotion. This emotion is also emphasized by the mood of the commercial, which evokes very pertinent emotions. Similarly, the ethos and logos of the commercial make the gum brand look very enticing due to the commercial’s focus on the emotional aspects of the gum. Likewise, the commonplaces that the commercial focuses on play an important role in making the advertisement more applicable to the common viewer. Overall, the Extra Gum advertisement effectively persuades the viewer to purchase the
The Norte Chico culture was made up of several different sites, inland and on the coast, in what is now the Norte Chico dry region of north-central coastal Peru (1). The most prominent city of Norte Chico was the city of Caral located in the Supe Valley 200 km north of Lima (2). During the Bronze Age, for roughly 1,200 years from around 3,000 BC, this famous population flourished (3). Since the inland region was located between two mountains, the sites were watered by irrigation canals, which enabled the growth of cotton and food plants such as squash, beans and avocadoes (3). Due to the difference of locations between sites, there were trade and barter systems throughout the culture.

Today, the United States of America is analogous with the terms freedom, liberty and prosperity. Throughout its existence, the nation has come to represent a unique melting pot of ideals, races, and cultures, which have recurrently exhibited the perspectives of freedom and equality in regards to not only daily livelihood, but also free trade. Although the United States continues to stand as an immense representation of hope and prominence in reference to opportunity, it is almost impossible to ignore the dark aspects of its history. For a nation that was founded by the ideals of assuring freedom for those who arrived at its shores and ports, a majority of the early stages of American history were flooded with an immense amount of prejudice
It seems to be easier for an American citizen to name quotes from movies or lyrics from popular songs than to explain the United States of America’s effect on the world. The Oblivious Empire written by Mart Hertsgarrd discusses how America’s society seems to not comprehend how our government treats other countries and seems too naïve on the reasons why other countries or groups of people do not like us. Hertsgarrd discusses how the United States truly treats countries around the world and the consequences our actions have caused. An analysis of Hertsgarrd essay shows strong points on how our society is oblivious to the world outside our country and do not truly know how our government affects the world. Throughout Hertsgarrd essay he describes how the United States government tends to believe they have the right to be the judge on how other countries’ treatment of their citizens and

Most kids chew gum. A piece or two each day. They often share it with their friends. That used to be the same story for me. Until the story started to change for me.
Another factor is offered by Margaret Keck and Kathryn Sikkink.[13] Keck and Sikkink analyzed the role of world politics after the turn of the twentieth century. They discovered an increased involvement of many state and non-state actors, which are key contributors to providing a global understanding on cultural and social norms. These state and non-state actors attempt to influence policy outcomes and transform the terms of international debates. Keck and Sikkink acknowledged the power dynamics between countries but also believed that some of the most powerful countries were limited by ideologies.
