Purell Must Gain Greater Market Share
Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer is a portable hand washing solution that cleanses hands without the need for soap and water.

The tone set by Dr. King in the part of the letter where he describes “pent-up resentments and latent frustrations,” and where he recognizes the “vital urge” being suppressed, is very passionate. His passion shines through loud and clear. The way Dr. King feels is, in fact, quite clear throughout the entire letter, yet the overriding sense of reason and logic that anyone can relate to is ever apparent. As he describes the unrest he finds in his community, the community as a whole really; he explains that he did not encourage them to “get rid of your [their] discontent” he instead encouraged them to, “make prayer pilgrimages to city hall;… go on freedom rides,… and try to understand why he [they] must do so”; these quotes from the letter point out the ways Dr....
Martin Luther King Jr., sparks emotion amongst the readers, through the use of pathos in attempt to create an emotional feel. His diction and vivid language makes this appeal successful. He writes on his scratch paper given to him in jail “I guess it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say "wait" (Longager & Walker, 2011, p. 270). The phrase “I guess” conveys the irony and absurdity of his claim. “Stinging darts” is also powerful, and truly makes the audience feel sorrow for those facing racial segregation. His strong diction is also depicted through anaphora. The repetition of phrases and words such as “when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mother,” “when you have seen hate filled policemen curse” and “see tears welling up in her eyes” provide the reader with a sense of sadness. By emphasizing “you,” he forces the reader to put themselves in the position that he is in, and experience it with him. Using anaphora creates a sense of memorability and urgency, all while remaining in the pathos category (Longager & Walker, 2011, p.256). Strategically used repetition not only forces the reader to focus on an idea, but also assists in conveying his intended message. The logos appeal is also in effect here. He utilizes the logos appeal to argue a non-violent protest is a wise decision. He details the daily life of an African American man, using words such as
Does hand sanitizer actually kill 99.9 percent of germs? Well throughout this paper you will find out. Throughout this paper you will also find out what is in hand sanitizer, how it is made, how it kills germs, and the history of it. Hand sanitizer is a very important tool to many people who work in the medical field, and in an office. Without it, there would be many more viruses and germs around and that would not be good.
He was referring to the white American political community, white American religious community and the African American community. In his letter, Dr. King effectively uses different methods such as logical appeals, ethical appeals, and emotional values.
Dr. King effectively expresses why his critics are wrong in a passionate tone. He is extremely zealous about the rights that African-Americans have been neglected to have and should have, as well as everyone else. Mr. King was criticized for his “untimely” actions in Birmingham. “This wait has almost always meant ‘never.’” (King 264) Martin Luther King isn’t just a bystander witnessing the injustice; he is a victim and one of the few who is willing to fight for justice well deserved. His tone also evokes similar passion in the audience. The reader will feel that strong passion and by doing so they will realize that Dr. King does know what he is doing. Since Dr. King is directly affected and is relatable, his writing is able to effortlessly capture his determination and courage. All while having a passionate tone he is able to remain a respectable and calm tone throughout his letter. Dr. King’s tone shifts from brusque to a conciliatory manner. His non-aggressive tone benefits Dr. King’s argument and makes it more effective. If Dr. King had written in an hostile tone, the clergymen would feel attacked and would not want to support his cause....
Martin Luther King, Jr. is known to be a civil rights activist, humanitarian, a father, and a clergyman. He is well known for fighting for the equal rights of colored people and ending discrimination. King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail is an important part of history that showed King’s opinion of a letter that he happened to read in the newspaper written by a group of clergyman. In this letter, the group of clergyman report that colored people, also known as black people, are being violent towards Birmingham City. Also, the clergymen believed the time that will allow segregation to be diminished was not happening anytime soon because it is not convenient. King refuted the clergymen’s argument in a variety of ways using tactics of argumentation and persuasion like appeal to emotion through real life examples, appeal to logic, and even articulating certain phrases through metaphors and word choice. Many of these different tactics of argumentation and persuasion made his letter very effective and is now seen as a great piece that is looked upon highly today.
In 1963 on April 16th, Martin Luther King Jr, who was in the Birmingham jail for non-violent protesting wrote a letter in response to a statement from eight white Clergymen, in which they stated that his recent activities were “unwise and untimely.” In this letter King proceeds to state his purpose and reasons for his timing and his protests and powerfully he does so. He most obviously directs the letter to the Clergymen but there seems to be a many different audiences he wishes to enlighten on his thoughts. From what I gather he wants public figures and everyday men to read his letter, and by doing so he hopes to raise awareness for the cruel acts that have been done to the blacks. King gets his point across, that segregation is unfair and morally not right and that man has a responsibility to act against unjust laws, by using many different strategies throughout the letter. He uses logos, pathos, and ethos to do so. While using these devices he shows emotion, gives logic to his reasoning’s and gives credibility as well.
When asked about his depressed appearance and demeanor by Gertrude, Hamlet replies, "Seems, madam? Nay, it is. I know not "seems" (1037, line 76). This relates the idea that Hamlet is 'what he appears to be '. Later, he clearly makes a statement about his mental health when he commits himself to avenge his father 's murder. This quote allows the reader to follow Hamlet 's train of thought in regards to his role as student, mourning son, and Prince to the throne: "I 'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past That youth and observation copied there, And thy commandment all alone shall live Within the book and volume of my brain" (1054, line 100). Hamlet is stating his commitment to nothing short of revenge of his fathers ' death. There is little doubt about his state of mind at this point of the play. He can only talk about all of these plans to himself. He gets stuck in his head and therefore starts to argue these ideals with

Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” is a magnificent short story, with action, superstition, and a little humor all rolled into one. The story of the headless horseman has scared little children of Sleepy Hollow for many years. Then along came Hollywood and decided that Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” needed something more. Hollywood needed a more exciting main character in Ichabod Crane and story line to appeal to the twentieth century. Washington Irving had to write in a way that the reader could visualize Ichabod Crane and how utterly terrified he was of everything, whereas, Hollywood could use its own Jonny Depp to deliver a wonderful performance. Hollywood’s image for Sleepy Hollow needed more action, blood, more superstition, and better looking characters. Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and the movie “Sleepy Hollow” differ on three main points: 1) the story line, 2) the appearance of Ichabod Crane, and 3) the occupation of Ichabod Crane.
... most likely will not change much because countries are content with the way the current trade policies work and with the current global economy in question, many countries will be afraid to try to make a change. Perhaps, when the global economy is more stable, some countries may be brave enough to go against the status quo and try to change how they do business.
During the H1N1 pandemic occurred in the early 2000s, the government and health organizations have advocated in raising the awareness of maintaining cleanliness and hygiene to the public. Antibacterial products were introduced to prevent infection towards illnesses to kill and prevent the invasion and spread of bacteria. According to the FDA, antibacterial soap is a product that contains chemicals which help in killing bacteria (“Antibacterial Soap? You Can Skip It…”, n.d.). Healthcare companies heavily advertised these antibacterial soaps for their bacteria prevention benefits, convincing the public of its effective use. However, recent studies have raised suspicion among the public – casting doubts on its healthy claims. In December 2016,
In fact, 39% of people who took the Miswak Company’s survey said that they would not buy miswak because they did not want to brush their teeth with a “stick”. The company would have to ensure that the people who are buying their product are loyal to them. To ensure loyalty from customers, one of the main aspects that must be ensured is having a good quality product. Unfortunately, the miswak stick might not meet this criterion. After reviewing the survey, it can be seen that 43% of people who have tried miswak products were either very dissatisfied or somewhat dissatisfied. Even if the Miswak Company were able to sell their product to a lot of people in the first few years, they would struggle to have customers who continuously purchase their

Foodborne illnesses which causes vomiting, stomach ache and etc. Is a common problem but usually taken for granted, especially in places where food safety is not properly practiced by the people. This happens because of the lack of knowledge and improper practice of food safety.

And so, the researchers wanted to find ways that can help raise awareness about food safety. They specifically wanted the selected 3rd year
