upon are profit-oriented and social-oriented entrepreneurs. I will describe these approaches through two entrepreneurs, Victor Kiam and Anita Roddick. Victor Kiam was what one would call a profit entrepreneur. This is “a person who seeks a profitable opportunity and takes the necessary risks to set up and operate a business (Boone, Kurtz, 2011, pg.182). Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop, was a social-oriented entrepreneur. These types of entrepreneurs are “pioneers of innovations that benefit
I visited the website of Body Shop founder Anita Roddick. She refers repeatedly to the Body Shop's "anti-Barbie" doll, named Ruby, a heavyweight plastic doll featured on a poster/advertisement reading, "There are three billion women in the world who don't look like supermodels and only eight who do." The implication is, of course, that this fat-Barbie archetype is somehow a healthier ideal than the bone-thin adolescents paraded on the pages of Cosmo. Is it though? Fat is not the global norm. You

L ‘ Oréal ‘because you are worth it!’ History In 1907, Eugène Schueller, a young French chemist, developed an innovative hair-color formula. He called his improved hair dye Auréole. With that, the history of L’Oréal began. Eugène Schueller formulated and manufactured his own products, which he then sold to Parisian hairdressers. In 1909, Schueller registered his company, the Société Française de Teintures Inoffensives pour Cheveux ("Safe Hair Dye Company of France"), the original L’Oréal. The

Diaspora and Syal’s Anita and Me Diaspora, a term used to describe the dispersion of a people from their original homeland, has become an increasingly pertinent topic of discussion in contemporary society. Nalini Natarajan in the essay “Reading Diaspora” argues that “the phenomenon of diasporic populations is by no means new, but its scale in the twentieth century is dramatic” (xiii). Natarajan also argues that the nature of contemporary diasporic experiences, due to the global reach of technology
When it was written in 1925, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, by Anita Loos was heralded as a tremendous novel. It was seen as cutting edge and insightful, yet somewhat risqué in its portrayal of Lorelei Lee and her escapades. I can see how this may have been thought at that time, seeing as how women were looked at in such a different way then they are currently. The fact that a women with as little know-how as Lorelei can manipulate men the way that she does, leaves no question as to who is the superior
Heroes and Heroism in Anita Desai's Clear Light of Day When one asks a child, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" a usual response is "a fireman" or "a ballerina." In Anita Desai's Clear Light of Day, however, the young Bim and Raja are somewhat more ambitious; they answer that they want to be a hero and heroine. Later, Bim asks somewhat bitterly, "The hero and heroine-where are they? Down at the bottom of the well-gone, disappeared" (157). Bim has lost track of her heroes; however

Where or When by Anita Shreve For my second reading selection I chose Where or When, also written by Anita Shreve. There are two main characters, Charles and Sian. Charles sees Sian's picture in the newspaper because she has just released another poetry book. They knew each other 31 years ago when they both attended a camp at The Ridge. Charles (known as Cal to Sian when they were younger) feels compelled to be reunited with her. They correspond with each other for a time and are reunited
Despite the Hinduism religious environment that I was surrounded by, where good was the only investment I should abide to, I never mentally realized that I was instilled to place a border between the Other and I.

I always knew there was an evil but that should never be me. The conceptual knowledge obtained
