Argentina and Bose Corporation
Bose Corporation has had products of audio system, called “Home Theater System”. It’s a perfect audio system, just like or even better than the sound we can hear from movie theaters. On the system, there is a music center, which is connected to all input and output cables and a big amplifier, which controls the bass and treble. For your information, in music center, you can both enjoy the CD player and radio for basic functions; and outputs for surrounding sound quality for video watching, and tape listening.

1. Driving global forces:
a) Market needs and wants: Many people may think that in Argentina, the economic may not be that well since it is between underdeveloped and developing country. However, after I talked to my friends, who has ever lived in Argentina for a while, I know that in Argentina, there are still many people who are rich. The situation in Argentina may be extreme disparity between the rich and the poor, however, that doesn’t means that people there does not have marketing needs and wants. I believe that for those rich people, they might want to have the best quality of music and sound. Besides, the restaurant and disco club owners may want to have a better sound quality in order to attract more guests and customers. I guess most of people would know that most of Argentines love music, and they think music is one of the most important thing in their lives. Therefore, I believe marketing needs and wants is one of the forces.
We may see from the following article that I picked up from the web that how Argentina accepts business of imports and exports of electronics:
“Argentine companies involved in the appliance and electronics industries produce primarily for the domestic market. Exports are shipped mostly to Mercosur countries. Products include refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, air conditioners, television sets, radios, and video cassette recorders (VCRs). In recent years production of refrigerators and washing machines has been about 700,000 units each. Little Argentine production is exported outside Mercosur, although certain niche markets are served by high quality Argentine manufacturers. These include specialty high-fidelity equipment designed for audiophiles willing to pay in the range of US$10,000 for equipment and for concert halls, theaters, and other buildings in need of high quality
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is a non-fictional novel dedicated to describing the life and experiences of a woman by the name of Henrietta Lacks who’s cervical cells became famous for a multitude of reasons. Henrietta was an African American woman born in the 1920’s who developed an aggressive form of cervical cancer and was treated by doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Her infamous story began when doctors began treating Henrietta with radium and took tissue samples from her cervix without her knowing. Cancer researchers began testing Henrietta’s cells (labeled HeLa) and found that they, unlike many other human cells, multiplied at rapid rates and almost seemed to be “immortal” or never-ending. These cells were shared, sold, and researched
Scientists know her as HeLa, the immortal cell line that has been used for numerous scientific achievements, including the polio vaccine and other research with other viruses. They were the first cells to be cloned and used with gene mapping and chromosome staining. They have been used in cancer research and hormone research and drug research. In fact, HeLa cells have been used in over 60,000 research articles (Skloot, 2010). However, the woman behind the cells was cast in the shadows for decades. Henrietta Lacks was a poor African American tobacco farmer from 1950’s Baltimore. After giving birth to her first child, she noticed blood in her urine and went to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. During one of her treatments, cells from her cervix, cancerous and healthy, were removed without her knowledge and permission. These cells were then made into the immortal cell line that has been used widely in research. The unfortunate part of the situation was while scientists were profiting from their work with the HeLa cells, Lacks’ family was living in poverty without proper health insurance or the knowledge of Henrietta’s contribution to science. The case of Henrietta Lacks draws attention to the bioethical issues of informed consent, beneficence, not using people as a means to an end, and spreading knowledge.
These two group cannot work together because of conflicting distribution of power. These groups can also be called the “bourgeoisie” known as the powerful or the “proletariat” which is the powerless. In this theory both groups are constantly at conflict because one group wants to maintain power while the other group is powerless. In the case of Henrietta the groups that are in power are the companies who are mass producing her cells and the doctors who obtained the cells. And the group who is powerless is Henrietta and her family. This unequal distribution of people comes from henrietta's social status, lack of power, and low wealth. Rebecca Skloot (2011) states in her book that Henrietta's family still lived in poverty even after discovering the multibillion dollar cell production. () And according to Gloria Blackwell from the AAWU, she states that Henrietta's name was not released until the 1970s and even then her family didn’t know that the HeLa cells were still being produced. This conduct continued for 25 years after her death. () According to Rebecca Skloot, in her book she states that Henrietta's husband, Day, consented to the autopsy of her body because he was promised that this will helps his kids one day. However, even after agreeing to the autopsy his kids still lived in poverty and was not ever

Rebecca Skloot was a young student who didn’t really pay attention in class and never showed up because nothing really interested her. In biology class one day, her biology teacher talked about the HeLa cells, and how they were still living outside of her body thirty-seven years after her death. Her biology teacher said a few things about her and her cells, but nothing was about the person behind the cells, and Skloot was intrigued. All she was told about Henrietta was that Henrietta was a black woman and class was over for that day. Skloot thought that there had to be something more to the woman behind the cells, so she went to her professor’s office and asked him about it. ‘” I wish I could tell you,” he said, “but no one knows anything about her”’ (page 4) is what he said when she asked about her. So Skloot decided to look her up and see what she could find. But nothing said any more than she learned that day in biology class or mentioned anything of interest to her, so Skloot set out to find the story of what happened to Henrietta Lacks. Skloot was qualified to write this book because of the ...
Please discuss, analyze, explain, and clarify the reasons you would sell new products to Mexico, if you were an American or a Canadian seller. Please see Chapter 9 in your textbook, especially pp. 263 – 265. How does the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) affect your decisions regarding offering the four P’s of marketing (product, place, promotion, and price) of selling new computers or automobiles in the traditionally closed Mexican consumer market. Do you sell high price or low price computers to Mexicans in Mexico? Or in America, on the boarder between Mexico and United States, e.g. Laredo, Texas? Do you sell high price or low price automobiles/tracks to Mexicans in Mexico or in the United States?
HeLa cells became one of the most significant tools in medicine, yet, the woman and the story behind the cells are virtually unknown to the public. As portrayed in The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Henrietta Lacks’ cells have been bought and sold by the billions but her family continues to live in poverty. These cells are credited to many significant medical successes, but her family didn’t even know they existed and were left without the resources to benefit from these great discoveries. Lack of education, lack of communication and a lack of understanding contributed to the ethical issues that arose from Lacks’ experience because of the racial, social and historical limitations that were common in this time. The author, Rebecca Skloot successfully approaches the ethical issues the Lacks’ family endured by taking a unique perspective to developing
All throughout the 20th century we can observe the marked presence of totalitarian regimes and governments in Latin America. Countries like Cuba, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic all suffered under the merciless rule of dictators and military leaders. Yet the latter country, the Dominican Republic, experienced a unique variation of these popular dictatorships, one that in the eyes of the world of those times was great, but in the eyes of the Dominicans, was nothing short of deadly.
Venezuela was one of the richest countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others being Colombia and Ecuador). For most of the first half of the 20th century, Venezuela was ruled by generally benevolent military strongmen, who promoted the oil industry and allowed for some social reforms. Democratically elected governments have held sway since 1959. Current concerns include: a polarized political environment, a politicized military, drug-related violence along the Colombian border, increasing internal drug consumption, overdependence on the petroleum industry with its price fluctuations, and irresponsible mining operations that are endangering the rain forest and indigenous peoples.
The lacks challenge everything I thought I knew about faith, science, journalism, and race. Throughout the “Immortal life of Henrietta lacks “by Rebecca Skloot racism is developed throughout the chapter when Henrietta cells are taken away from her without her consent when she goes to the doctor's office at John Hopkins hospital. Racism plays a big role in today's society because people are bullied and judge because they may have one more kind of skin tone. When Henrietta first was diagnosed with cancer, she had no choice but to attend a hospital that only for blacks because it was a time where segregation still had an impact on black lives. Racial discrimination occurs all around the world many are treated differently due to the color of their skin because it teaches people to make a judgment about others based on the way they perceive someone.
This implies that there is easy accessibility Spain particularly. The growth and modernization of the Spanish agro-food industry has paved the way for larger companies capable of competing internationally to expand their businesses. Also the Implementation of international distribution has been beneficial to export sector in Spain as it has enhanced the
It can be difficult to re-create the experience of going to the movie theater. However, home theaters and in-home entertainment has become more popular as online streaming has taken a precedence in the industry.
INTRODUCTIONThis report will strive to clearly discern the differences between the average home Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) and the recently developed Digital Video Disc (DVD) system. These two home entertainment components have very clear differences. It is important for consumers to carefully consider each of these concerns before deciding on the home entertainment component that is right for them.When considering the purchase of a home VCR or DVD system, consumers should carefully examine the varying costs of the two components. If cost is a concern, consumers should pay special attention to the purchase price of both systems, as well as the cost of movies and maintenance. A second consideration of consumers when choosing between VCR and DVD should be the video and audio quality. Various technical factors can alter the quality of both picture and sound in both of these systems, making picture and audio quality a major consideration when shopping for home entertainment components.A final consideration that consumers should give special attention is the accessibility of the systems. In today’s growing entertainment market, the difficulty in accessing video and DVD movies can play a large part in the decision of which component is right for the consumer.METHODSThe beginning of any research project is in the decision of a topic to research. I chose to research the differences between the VCR and DVD home entertainment systems because the intricacies of the systems and the ways in which they work greatly interest me. I began my work using ordinary encyclopedias, found in the Rosewood High School branch of the Wayne County Public Library.
...talistic world, but how to satisfy more than one cultural group. This is not the first time we have seen something like this though. In 1958, Dean Martin recorded on of his biggest hits by recording “Volare”. The importance of this song is found not only in the fact that it is an original Italian song, but that it is recorded incorporating both English and Italian into the song at the same time. Frank Sinatra also tried this same approach in 1967. He recorded an album of songs done by Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobin. As noted by the Music Council of Australia (MCA) it is globalization that has an affect on music. They state: “80% of the world’s trade in music happens under four giant transnational recording companies whose fortunes at present depend on global marketing of Anglo American pop music. We can buy music of virtually any culture by ordering from massive catalogues from internet music suppliers, locations unknown. Furthermore, the whole deal can take place on the internet: the search, the ordering, the payment and the delivery. We needn’t leave the room. Music, more than almost any other commodity, has lent itself to globalization. And globalization is upon it.”
