While it is uncertain about what her role was prior to pursuing a career in art, whatever it was played a significant role in her creative expression. Unfortunately, like so many other female artists during this time, we know very little about her. Some of her art is still in circulation and on display. Some of her relief work is located at some of the Bologna churches. Rossi along with other women artists created art in a time when society rarely took women seriously in affairs outside of the home. Yet, Properzia de Rossi proved that she could transcend in a male-dominated profession. Her creative volume was small as far as we know, but what she did create was nothing short of prodigious, not just for a woman, but also for any artist. De Rossi along with other women artists, did not let gender ideology of that time, hinder them in doing what really wanted to do, create. Sadly, de Rossi health took a turn for the worst at a very young age. This explains the low volume of artwork that she created. She is believed to have been a victim of the plague in 1529. She later died on February 24, 1530, penniless, and without close relatives and friends. She died on the same day as Charles V's coronation by Clement VII. Clement VII was informed that de' Rossi was a "noble and elevated genius,” and was told of her death as he was on his way to meet her. She will
In Susan Pharr's "The Common Elements of Oppression", she defines "the other" as the outcast of society, the ones who stand up for what they believe in, no matter how `against the grain' it may be, the ones who try the hardest to earn acceptance, yet never receive it. In Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice", Shylock, the `villain' is portrayed as the other simply because of his faith, because he is Jewish in a predominantly Christian society.

First we will discuss product. Within marketing terms, the product can be defined as a good or service that is provided for consumption or use by a customer. An easy example of a service product is hotel customer service. Another example of a product service can be the omnipresent use of cell phones, pertaining to their service providers. Product goods are easy to define, with footwear manufactured by Nike, or soft drinks such as Coca Cola.
Professionalism is defined as the accrued knowledge and behavior possessed by individuals in order to obtain successful goals and attributes for their organization, facility or work environment (McDonagh, 2008). Being professional while at work let others know that you are reliable, respectful, and competent at what you do.

...of blood must be shed or else Shylock would be breaking the law. Both Portia and the Duke showed an extreme level of aggressiveness in penalizing Shylock for wanting to receive that pound of flesh as his payment. The Duke asking Antonio for his thoughts on what Shylocks punishment should be is another significant example of the conflict of interest between the entire court against defenseless Shylock. In conclusion the court was manipulated by an impersonating lawyer, who swayed the courts decision to aggressively and abusively penalize Shylock. Not only did they confiscate his property but also his identity as a Jewish man. Shylock ultimately is the victim of this story because he loses everything he owns by the hands of the very thing he hoped would bring him justice, the law.
Therefore, it can be said that the 4Ps approach is more focused on product, while the value approach is, on the contrary, focused on customer - it is a more customer-oriented marketing strategy, which, in some aspects, is close to one-to-one marketing.

At the end of The Merchant of Venice, Shylock has been both a victim and a villain. He is a victim of his religion, and a victim of his greed and overwhelming need for revenge. Shylock is definitely the most villainous character in the play, and only a few elements can show him as a victim overall, even then, his victimisation only seems to be a consequence of his own actions. His daughter running away, because of her treatment, and apparent lack of love. The taking of his assets, because he would show no mercy towards Antonio. The final conclusion must be that Shylock is unreasonable, spiteful, heinous, greedy - and a villain.
The marketing mix helps a company define the marketing elements for successfully positioning a market offer. The four P’s model, one of the best-known models, helps a company define its product marketing options in terms, place, price and promotion (MindTools.com, 2010). To enhance their impact with their target market, companies often use this model when you are planning a new venture, or evaluating an existing offer. As companies start out in an industry, many marketers learn about putting the right product in the right place, at the right price, at the right t...

During the discussion of the bond, Shylock says to Antonio “ I would be friends with you and have your love” and “this kindness will I show”. He pretends to be Antonio’s friend, but he has an ulterior motive, which is to take a pound of Antonio’s flesh from whatever part of his body he pleases. The underlying meaning is to kill him, and thus, although Shylock seems good-hearted, he is in truth, harbouring deceit. Shylock is manipulative and crafty as he tries to put up a show to deceive Antonio. He sounds generous about offering the three thousand ducats without “usance for my moneys”, thus winning Antonio’s trust. This was done to divert Antonio’s attention from his actual intentions. However, Shylock proposes a flesh bond as a “merry sport”, in substitution for not charging interest. The bond, although an unusual forfeit, is a serious matter, because Antonio may be killed from accepting its terms and conditions. Shylock is a brilliant strategist, and even the perceptive businessman, Antonio, has fallen for it. Shylock is a vindictive and unforgiving man, whose hatred for Christians has driven him to want to kill Antonio. We know that Shylock has suffered emotionally and physically because of how Antonio has kicked, spat and rated him many a times. Thus he deserves some of our pity, as taking revenge on your enemy is only natural.
