Ralph Nader, Mark Green and Joel Seligman, in an excerpt from Taming the Giant Corporation (1976, found in Honest Work by Ciulla, Martin and Solomon), take the current role of the company board of directors and suggest changes that should be made to make the board to be efficient. They claim the current makeup of the board does not necessarily do justice to the company because “in nearly every large American business…there exists a management autocracy” (Nader, Green and Seligman, 1976, p.570). The main resolution they present is to make the board more democratic with the betterment of the company as its first priority. Currently the board no longer oversees operations, or elects top company executives and they are no longer involved in the business operations to the extent they should be. Nadar, Green and Seligman argue that that all of these things need to be changed. For a corporation so large to be successful there must be separation of powers just as there is in any current government system ( p.571). They claim this is the only and best way to success (Nader, Green and Seligman, 1976, p.570-571).

Although I had to go out of my way, my trip to the Metropolitan Museum was certainly a pleasant and lively experience. As soon as I got there, I saw hundreds of people which included a vast amount of tourists. Many people were taking pictures with their cameras of all the different pieces of art work. There was art work from many different time periods there. This includes Egyptian art, Greek art, and many more. The painting that I decided to analyze was The Battle between Christians and Moors at El Sotillo by Francisco de Zurbarán (1648). The writing next to the painting said that in Spanish forces in the year 1370 were saved from a sneak attack by the opposition when a heavenly light revealed the hidden rebel soldiers. There is also a biblical reference in the painting as the soldiers looked up during the battle and saw the Virgin Mary looking down at them. According to the Bible, the Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus, “the Son of God” despite being a virgin. This is viewed as a miracle in Christianity. The painting has a heavenly scene above and an earthly scene below. The figure on the left is depicted as leading an army that army has God on its side as shown by the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus Christ looking down upon the scene. The eye of the viewer is drawn up towards the Virgin Mary and the Christ child because it is the only light part in a dark painting. This technique is the use of the element of contrast between light and dark tones to achieve a dramatic effect. The design is asymmetrical and the painting was done in the Baroque period. The format of the painting is an arched painting that was part of a large altar piece which when together was a polytych. It was on the bottom and was flanked on both sides by two square ...
In our world today every country has their own set of avowed and ascribed identities for it's population. An avowed identity is one a person gives to themselves, a woman might say she’s a sister or a wife. The opposite of that is an ascribed identity, or how society sees someone. For example, a rich person could be perceived as a snob. To ascribe someone with an identity is to judge them based on societal norms. The entertainment industry in America is no different then it's parent culture. Both men and women in this industry have identities placed on them, and they change based on their career. Women are given more negative ascriptions than men in the media. That is how Americans identify people they read about, with the identities the media gives them. Women are more negatively perceived that men in the music and fashion industry because of their ascribed identities in the media, and gender roles in our nation.
