Canada Goose
Canada Goose has shown excellent performance and numbers ever since Dani Reiss took over as CEO of the company in 2001. In the decade since, the company has registered an astounding 4000% growth leading many in the industry to deem Reiss as a visionary. Canada Goose has established strong markets in many European countries, especially the Scandinavian ones in addition to its home base in Canada.What is more surprising is that the company has been able to achieve such phenomenal success at the most meagre of marketing budgets ââ¬â marketing including salaries accounted for 10% of Canada Gooseââ¬â¢s total revenue. Organic marketing, including word of mouth marketing were the companyââ¬â¢s biggest draws and speak volumes about the well-established brandââ¬â¢s loyalty and value amongst its customers. I would give the brand an excellent score of 9 on a 1 to 10 scale of brand strength.Through proper brand management, the company has been able to establish an aura of exclusivit y around the brand ââ¬â this is even more impressive when you consider that the brand had initially started out as a utilitarian brand, nowhere close to high end, luxury jacket manufacturers out there. By effectively using marketing tools, Canada Goose has indeed now become more of a status symbol for many and the demand for these sought after products has always outstripped supply by a mile.An example of how the management effectively were able to establish Canada Goose as a high-end, authentic brand is as follows ââ¬â before Dani took over the company utilized product placement and would give bouncers outside bars who had to stand in the extreme cold all night their jackets but now the company has signed a sponsorship deal with Fairmont Hotels and outfits all the bellhops, greeters and doormen at every Fairmont Hotel in Canada Goose jackets. Not only does it help to strengthen the brandââ¬â¢s association with exclusivity but it also bolsters the association that Canada Goose has with Canadian Heritage and History.The fact that Canada Goose jackets never go on sale, even during big shopping events during Christmas, is proof of the brandââ¬â¢s tenacity. Like other luxury brands, for example Louis Vuitton ââ¬â who has famously never gone on sale ââ¬â Canada Goose jackets as well have never been sold for a discount. They are instead often sold at a premium by many of its retailers. The fact that there have been numerous attempts by large national retailers to order the companyââ¬â¢s jackets, which were all turned down by the company is testament to the brandââ¬â¢s forte.Consistently good sales and a general increase in brand awareness has led the management to rethink its strategy and start stocking at national retailers as well. Canada Gooseââ¬â¢s ability to combine jackets that were chic yet fully functional is the companyââ¬â¢s differential advantage. The industry has many competitors, both high end brands which sell jackets at higher price points than Canada Goose and others that were driven by functionality and sold for lower prices. However the company felt unthreatened by both.An unlikely indicator of brand strength for Canada Goose would be the fact that the company is plagued by piracy and counterfeit issues. Although by itself it is a bad thing but it speaks volumes about the fact that the brand is popular and has a high enough demand that pirates want to mint money by using Canada Gooseââ¬â¢s iconic brand. à The fact that these jackets are made in Canada are another aspect that add to the brandââ¬â¢s strength. This appeals to the locals by inciting patriotism and for international customers it adds to the products authenticity ââ¬â who would no winter outerwear better than Canadians?Once a brand has orders coming in, products being sold at higher prices than the MSRP, repeat orders during one season and organic band expansion to international markets it means that the brand is fully developed on a sound and stable footing. Canada Goose has achieved just that. Brand loyalty is at an all-time high, people think itââ¬â¢s chic and fashionable to wear the companyââ¬â¢s jackets and even the companyââ¬â¢s round logo with a map of the Arctic is extremely popular.Reiss and his team have indeed developed an enviable brand in Canada Goose and from here there is only one way to go to ââ¬â forward. Question 2 Canada Goose is truly at an enviable position at this point in time. The brand commands excellent sales, has immense awareness and demand for its products actually is far more than the supply. There are certain advantages that come along with such brand strength, Iââ¬â¢ll discuss three of these in what follows.Ability to Innovate The company has shown excellent numbers ever since Reiss took over as CEO andà is financially in a position to reinvest profits into developing new product lines. Indeed innovation has been the hallmark for the brand and the company has consistently developed products that are not only technologically at the cutting edge but also are up to date in terms of fashion as well. Premium Pricing Since the demand for the brand has traditionally outstripped supply, the company can easily and without loss charge a premium from its customers. As mentioned the company sells its products at a 100% markup and which in turn translate into increased revenues.Selection of Distribution Channels Canada Gooseââ¬â¢s impressive numbers lend to it a semblance of autonomy. The company is in a position to dictate its terms and conditions to distributors, rather than the other way round. Traditionally the company has used only curated small independent retailers, which helped the company establish the brandââ¬â¢s exclusivity but is now in a position to leverage the Canada Goose brand to nationwide retailers and reap the benefits of increased research.Increased Brand Awarenessà Brand awareness is at an all-time high. The brand is usually assumed to be synonymous with Canadian heritage and culture and at a 2010 G8 conference the then Finance Minister present Canada Goose jackets as souvenirs to visiting delegates from member countries. Owning a Canada Goose is considered to be a privilege by its customers and loyalty translates into increased brand awareness. This added flexibility can help the company cut down marketing costs and hence focus on product development.Question 3The company is at a juncture where it has to decide to either go forward with nationwide sales or stick to its current strategy of local retailers, which has brought the company so far. However saying no to either of the two orders would be suicidal for the company. Stagnation The company has a potential to use the brandââ¬â¢s current standing to lure more sales and increase its customer base widely. However if they continue to do business as usual, there is a risk of the company peaking out sooner and dying down. Increasing C ompetitionExtreme weather outerwear is a very fiercely competitive industry. If the company refuses to expand, there is a very strong risk of some of its closest competitors, most likely The North Face to overtake Canada Goose and gain some of its market share. Increasing competition translates into decreasing market share. Promote Counterfeits Expansion of the companyââ¬â¢s sales net is one way to rid Canada Goose of the menace of piracy. When there is only a limited number of retailers, currently localized by geography, customers who want their products but canââ¬â¢t find them will be easier to con by pirates.This is especially true for online retails because currently the company just has two third party retailers online and unsuspecting customers can be easily lured to buy counterfeit products. In essence, changing the way the company does its business can be an indirect solution to the companyââ¬â¢s piracy issues. Question 4 Canada Goose has a number of options which i t can avail if it chooses to expand. However there is always the risk of brand dilution due to saturation of the market with Canada Goose products, which obviously would be detrimental to what the company desires.However saying no to any of these opportunities is like rejecting growth. In addition, the company had recently had its first experience at retail chain distribution by stocking at Ontario-based Atheltic Legends. This experience had been very successful and Atheltic Legends had placed larger reorders. In what follows, I will discuss and compare all of the possible expansion opportunities that the company has based on market breadth, depth and share criteria. Option 1: Asmunââ¬â¢s Menswear Asmunââ¬â¢s Menswear has approached the company with the offer of a long term contract.Asmunââ¬â¢s is a 170 year old Canadian retail store with 10 branches nationwide, it stocks several of the best high end brands and is usually frequented by affluent women and men. It is perfectl y suited to the aspirations that Canada Goose has of becoming into a full-fledged luxury goods manufacturer. However that being said the current order by Canada Goose raises certain concerns, in my opinion, which should at least be evaluated before making a decision. Asmunââ¬â¢s has placed an order for four or five womenââ¬â¢s jackets only and that too in their choice of colors and styles.I think this foretells the rigidity that the established retail giant has or will have once Canada Goose gets into relationship with them. No company wants an over bearing distributor. To make matters more difficult, Asmunââ¬â¢s had requested Reiss that they be allowed to use Canada Gooseââ¬â¢s products in storeââ¬â¢s print advertisements. Since these advertisements went out to almost anyone who signs up with them and also since Canada Goose had as a principle never used advertising as a marketing tool, went against Canada Gooseââ¬â¢s current marketing strategy.There is always the chance that this increased used of advertisements and other variations in the marketing mix, could lead to brand dilution ââ¬â something that the company so dearly wants to avoid. Freedman, Asmunââ¬â¢s representative has also told Reiss that if they stock menââ¬â¢s products in the future ââ¬â Canada Goose will have to be exclusive to them. I would consider this to be a veiled threat, since what they are doing is that not only are they dictating terms of this contract but also of future contracts.If Asmunââ¬â¢s offer to eventually begin stocking menââ¬â¢s merchandise as well does materialize, Asmunââ¬â¢s would be a good alternative in terms of market breadth. The retailer is frequented by affluent women over the weekdays and has an equal split between men and women over the weekends. These customers have the budgets to afford Canada Goose jackets. Also since the store has a veritable history stretching 170 years, they certainly will have loyal customers who pr efer to shop only at Asmunââ¬â¢s.This means that repeat purchases (market depth) will be most likely possible here, provided Canada Goose gives the customers monetary incentives as well to come back and buy again. However market share is where this option seems to lack. Because currently theyââ¬â¢ll only stock womenââ¬â¢s clothing and also because the average customer for Canada Goose is anywhere from 18 to 60 years of age, the younger lot wouldnââ¬â¢t frequent the shop very often. Also the companyââ¬â¢s 10 outlets pale in comparison to the other option 20. Upfront however both the options will represent 5% market share of Canada Gooseââ¬â¢s business.Option 2: Levineââ¬â¢s Menswear Levineââ¬â¢s Menswear like the other option, is an established retail chain specializing in the ultimate high end premium menââ¬â¢s brands. It too has a heritage associated with its 50 years history and has 20 retail locations across Canada ââ¬â and they also have plans to e xpand by 20 more in the near future. Levineââ¬â¢s was synonymous with high quality menswear and stocked the best luxury brands from across the world. It is well suited with the companyââ¬â¢s plans of furthering strengthening its status as a premium brand.This order, in my opinion offered Canada Goose a lot more flexibility. Unlike Asmunââ¬â¢s, they werenââ¬â¢t overbearing on ordering decisions and placed a larger upfront order of 8 to 10 different jacket styles, with the possibility to increase the number in subsequent orders. Also the average customer at Levineââ¬â¢s was a working male, who had enough disposable income and didnââ¬â¢t necessarily care about cost when making a buying decision. In addition to being exposed to these affluent customers, Levineââ¬â¢s had given the go ahead to Canada Goose that theyââ¬â¢ll stock the companyââ¬â¢s newer prototype models as well.This was the first time any distributor had favorably responded to prototypes the comp any developed. The biggest drawback in terms of market breadth that this offer has is that the retailer is completely men-centric. This means that although the number of male customers would definetly rise, womenââ¬â¢s sales wonââ¬â¢t be growing at much the same rate. Again since these store were frequented by affluent males, Canada Goose might be missing out on its younger customers. Another advantage that this option offered is that they are a much larger chain of stores then Asmun.40 stores in the near future means that there will be 3 times as many customers to serve as Asmunââ¬â¢s. If managed effectively, the greater number of stores can translate into increased sales. Like Asmunââ¬â¢s, the store has a veritable history and loyal clients. In addition, these clients have the ability to pay a premium for the same products sold at another competing stores just because of its excellent customer service and brand reputation. Market depth will be maximized by going for th is option.Market share is bound to increase as well because these stores will offer Canada Goose a much larger client base, in addition this client base has the capacity to pay for these products. Option 3: Going for Both If the company is able to strike out a deal with Asmunââ¬â¢s to accept menââ¬â¢s products even when the company is stocking at Levineââ¬â¢s Menswear or if they divide their men and women product lines between these two stores, the company can achieve maximum benefit. In terms of market breadth, the company will now have the most varying type of customers and the numbers for both the stores will definitely add up.However there is a chance that repeat purchases (or market depth) might suffer as a result of going for both the options. There is a chance that the market may become saturated by the sudden influx of Canada Goose products at two giant national retailers leading retailers to make less frequent purchases because they arenââ¬â¢t able to get their existing inventory out of the stores. In the off chance that this does happen, Canada Goose needs to devise an effective strategy to tackle this ââ¬â which can probably mean allowing discounts, something that is against the nature of the company.However by stocking at two national retailers with their own set of loyal customers, market share would definitely increase. These stores with their extensive network of retail outlets and efficient supply chain systems will be able to sell more products quickly than say for instance, the small independent retailers. The common threat from the first three expansion strategies is that of brand dilution. Since the brand will now be sold it more locations, if not managed well, there is a chance of it loosing that brand exclusivity that the company has nurtured so far.Also to successfully go and tap international markets, the company needs to carry out extensive market research that will aid in product development. The product will need to b e modified for regions, for instance, where the winters may not be as severe as they are in Canada. Option 4: International Expansion/Buying back Distribution Rights Canada Goose already has established sales in 28 countries. In fact, Scandinavian countries were the ââ¬Ëearly adoptersââ¬â¢ of the brand as a high end, chic and fashionable product rather than the home base in Canada.The companyââ¬â¢s success in the European market proves that a market for Canada Goose exists internationally and that the company can effectively manage international distribution by giving distributorââ¬â¢s in the new countries full autonomy over product placement. This will not only increase sales and revenues but provide the company with valuable market research. For instance, Canada Gooseââ¬â¢s distributor in Japan ââ¬â Empire of the Sun Distribution Company Limited used its extensive knowledge about Asian tastes to guide the company to modify their products to suit local tastes.The Chilliwack bomber with its fitted design was an outcome of this collaboration and has gone on to become a market leader for the company in not only in Japan, but in other countries including Canada as well. Market breadth, depth and share all will definitely increase as a result of this expansion. The companyââ¬â¢s already burdened supply chain will need to be upgraded to support this international expansion. A marketing department which can coordinate all these international ventures will be needed, as well as opening satellite offices in countries where sales are going really well (for instance, in Sweden).The risk associated with this move will be that there is a possibility that the over-reliance on third party distributors might lead them to become too powerful so as to pose a significant threat to company policy. A company wants to keep control of how its products reach the end user. To mitigate this risk, Canada Goose might consider Buying Back Distribution Rights in coun tries where sales are really well. So for instance in the Scandinavian countries the company can buy out the third party distributors and hence gain the maximum benefit from that market.This will also be a way to curb the threat posed by exceedingly autonomous distributors. Option 5: Increased Online Presence Canada Gooseââ¬â¢s closest competitor, The North Face, has a much more wider audience online. Canada Goose can reach to a much wider customer base by selling its products to a greater number of third party retailers. However, there is a risk to doing this. Stores selling counterfeit jackets will become harder to discriminate by the customer ââ¬â this threat is also posed by international expansion.Increasing piracy, an issue which underscores the fact that the brand is doing well, is a menace for the company and increased online sellers make it easier for pirates to con people. To mitigate this, the company can adopt a two pronged approach. Start a campaign to effectivel y teach customers on how to differentiate between genuine and fake products and second to file high profile public law suits to deter any potential pirates from copying your products. Question 5 If I were lucky enough to be in Dani Reissââ¬â¢s place, I would start a tactical program to expand into new markets.Brand awareness and recognition is at an all-time high and the company has raked in enormous profits over the last decade. It is in a position of strength and has the ability to expand its business, in an effective way all the while maintaining its image of exclusivity and high-end fashion. Considering all the options discussed above, I suggest the company to deliver products to both the nationwide retailers Asmunââ¬â¢s and Levineââ¬â¢ Menswear. A good strategy would be to revise the contracts by talking to both the retailers and giving them incentives to do business on Canada Gooseââ¬â¢s terms.To placate Asmunââ¬â¢s demand for exclusivity in the menââ¬â¢s bus iness, an appropriate strategy for the company would be to give the two stores distinct product lines. The company is in a position of strength and has exceptional innovation capabilities and coming out for distinctive product lines shouldnââ¬â¢t be too hard. By stocking at both the nationwide retailers, the companyââ¬â¢s market share is bound to increase however this new development will definitely draw some ire from its current small independent retailers. These larger nationwide retailers can use their economies of scale to effectively price out the small retailers out of business.Canada Goose, as a socially responsible company, and also since these small retailers grouped together had significant bargaining power wouldnââ¬â¢t want to disappoint them. Multiple channel distribution is one of the most discussed topics in Marketing Strategy. While it is usually necessary and beneficial for a company to have multiple channels for distributing its products to the end customer ; it is at the same time tricky to manage this situation in a way where all the parties get along harmoniously. Canada Goose currently relies only on small independent retailers to deliver itsà products and selects them after a thorough investigation to ensure that the retailer matches the brandââ¬â¢s persona.The companyââ¬â¢s strategy to start stocking its product at national chains is bound to draw ire from its current customers, as is already visible in the email from Westboro Downtownââ¬â¢s owner. However it is not uncommon for companies to do business with both small retailers as well as retail chains; North Face as has been mentioned in the case is effectively harvesting both these channels. In the MM Micromotors Simulation as well we learned on how to balance multiple distribution channels.To allay concerns by small retailers, which when combined can pose a potent threat to the companyââ¬â¢s sales, communication can be the most effective weapon in Canada Gooseâ â¬â¢s arsenal. A good idea will be to bring together all the small business owners, or at least the most prominent amongst them, and have them meet with Dani Reiss so that their concerns about being priced out can be addressed. Canada Goose can give them guarantees that they wonââ¬â¢t do business with large retailers who engage in unfair discounting or using the economies of scale card in any harmful way.Effective, clear communication can go a long way in solving many of the conflicts with smaller retail stores. Another common way to manage conflicts between large and small distribution channels is to use pricing effectively. Marketers can use implements such as discounting from the ââ¬Ëpricing toolkitââ¬â¢ to offer, for instance, bigger discounts to smaller retailers so that they can charge a higher markup and still sell at a price that is competitive with what the big national retailers are offering.What it means is that Canada Goose sells its products at a lower price to small retailers, so that they can earn larger profit per jacket. The big retailers can use the volume of sails to their advantage. Also since the company has already shown immense potential in international markets, a very potent part of the strategy would be to further develop international sales. The US, despite its geographical closeness, accounts for only 10% of all sales of the company ââ¬â compared with Europeââ¬â¢s 40%!Adapting products for less severe winters, while still maintaining its prestige and roots can spell guaranteed success for the company. Product development will be key here. The company has to continue to evolve their designs to adapt to local tastes in these new markets because, for example, bulky winter wear isnââ¬â¢t necessarily the first choice for many in Asia where the climate is much warmer. Company owned retail stores can be a great asset for Canada Goose. A trend started very successfully by Apple, is now being replicated by any brand that wants to expand sales yet keep that feeling of exclusivity and class.The North Face has 28 company operated retail locations in the US that stock North Face outlets exclusively. These stores can be used as a tool to add to the brandââ¬â¢s premium feel. Louis Vuitton, for example, only follows this business model and sells only through its own stores. That being said, retail is a whole new ballgame unlike anything Canada Goose has done before. Theyââ¬â¢ll need to hire a new team to manage these operations, implement a revamped supply chain strategy and otherwise is very resource intensive.

Power and Dependency
Section B: The Power-Dependency Relationship In order to understand power, one must understand that it comes from dependency. Power and dependence have a causal relationship in that power creates dependence and vice versa. In addition, power and dependence are positively correlated because the degree of power A has over B is equal to the degree of dependence A has on B (Molm, 1990). Therefore, the more power A has over B, the more dependent B will be on A. ââ¬Å"Dependence increases when the resource [one controls] is important, scarce, and non-substitutable (Robbins & Judge, 2013)â⬠.To illustrate this point, consider the following: 1. Importance ââ¬â If A places great value on a resource B controls, then Aââ¬â¢s dependence on B increases. For example in the given scenario, Employee 1 places great value on receiving a large bonus that will be used to go on a much needed vacation. Since the bonus depends on the performance review rating given by the manager, Employee 1ââ¬â¢s dependence on the manager increases. This can also be demonstrated in Employee 3ââ¬â¢s case. The sales team places high importance on increasing sales. Employee 3 used referent power to convince the team to try the new idea and was selected to lead the team.The sales team is now dependent on Employee 3 to be their leader and generate increased sales. 2. Scarcity ââ¬â If A has sole control over a resource that B considers valuable or important then B will be solely dependent on A. For instance, Employee 2 is the only CPA in the company and as a result is the only employee able to prepare financial statements. CPAââ¬â¢s are scarce in the company therefore the accounting managerââ¬â¢s dependence on Employee 2 increases. The manager is solely dependent on Employee 2 to complete this vital task for the company.Another example can be seen in Employee 1ââ¬â¢s case. Employee 1ââ¬â¢s manager has sole control over the performance review rating which means that he or she is solely dependent on the manager. 3. Non-Substitutability ââ¬â The less alternatives there are for a resource which A controls and B requires, the more B will be dependent on A for that resource. The Accounting Manager over Employee 2 has Legitimate Power to approve the shortened workweek and that power cannot be substituted by any other employee in the company. As a result, Employee 2 is solely dependent on the manager to approve the schedule.

Love in a Midsummers Night Dream - 1772 Words
How does Shakespeare use the theme of love in ââ¬ËA Midsummer Nightââ¬â¢s Dreamââ¬â¢? Shakespeare uses the theme of love to show how complicated love can be; Hermia falling in love with Lysander and Egeus not allowing her to get married to Lysander. Lysander and Hermia try to figure things out between themselves and their forbidden love, ââ¬Å"The course of true love never did run smoothâ⬠. On the other hand Shakespeare uses comical love with Helenaââ¬â¢s unrequited love for Demetrius. Helena is so sad she calls herself his spaniel, ââ¬Å"Lord, what fools these mortals be!â⬠Another example of comical love is Titania falling in love with Bottom, with the assââ¬â¢s head on. Love can blind our eyes in some situations and we can fall head over heels, which makes us lookâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦Near the end there is a scene where both men are in love with her and she feels that she is right in the middle of a practical joke, with Hermia, Demetrius and Lysander pulling her strings. They start to quarrel and it begins as a little fight but ends as a massive brawl: ââ¬Å"Lysander, speak again. Thou runaway, thou coward, art thou fled?â⬠Demetrius is looking for Lysander in the dark so he can only be found by his voice. But this fight has all been fun and a game played by Puck as he mimics Lysanderââ¬â¢s voice. From these lines, Shakespeare shows that Puck can be very mischievous when he has fun but also serious around his master. However Lysander and Demetrius grow tired and fall asleep next to Hermia and Helena, where they are found the next morning by Theseus, Hippolyta and Egeus. However, Shakespeare makes Puck see from the actions of the four young adults, that humans can be very foolish and can also have a rollercoaster ride of love with all its ups and downs, especially in Athens with its law giving the father the right to select the man for his daughter: ââ¬Å"Lord what fools these mortals be!â⬠This line shows that Puck brings Oberon to see the sight of Demetriusââ¬â¢s unrequited love towards Helena and the forbidden love of Hermia and Lysander because of their strange antics, which are partly down to Puck and his mischief, so Oberon decides to sort it out.

Depression and Mental illness Essay Example For Students
Depression and Mental illness Essay According to Michael D. Yapko, PhD,(1997) in every way, depression is a growing problem. Rates of depression have steadily climbed over the last 50 years and are significantly higher in those born after 1954 than in those born before. In addition, the average age of on-set depressive episode is steadily decreasing it is now mid-20s whereas it once was mid-30s. Cross-cultural data show that the United States has a higher rate of Depression and Mental illness Essay than almost any other country, and that as Asian countries Westernize their rates of depression increase correspondingly. (p.37) And according to the Illinois State Police, (1999), one of seven depressed people will commit an act of violence against themselves or others. (p.1) The purpose of this paper is to view and discuss depression and mental illness risk factors associated with violence. This paper will view some of the characteristics and violent behavior risk factors associated with a depressed or mentally ill person. It will also, compare characteristic that characterize a person suffering form depression or a person that is mentally ill. This paper will discuss treatment or punishment debated concerning depression and mental illness in the justice system. Existing studies will be used to help in the study of depression and mental illness from different sources. Depression, according to Webster (1988), is a psychotic condition marked by an inability to concentrate and feelings of dejection and quilt.(p.364) Depression is most commonly treatable with counseling, but what happens when counseling fail? Although our current mental health system is not perfect it has been able to bring us where we are today. The current methods have benefited many individuals when going through crisis then stabilizing individuals to the point that they can function in society. So what happens when the benefits are not reaped? These individuals could go through psychotic change. Thomas Hudson stated (1978), the mind has a dual character, which he described as the subjective mind and the objective mind. The objective mind takes cognizance of the objective world. Its media of observation are the five senses. It is the out growth of mans physical necessities. It is his guide in his struggles with his material environment. Its highest function is that of reasoning. The subjective mind takes cognizance of its environment by means independent of the physical senses. It perceive by intuition. It is the seat of the emotion and the storehouse of memory. It performs its highest function when the objective sense are in abeyance.(p. 1) Its when the subjective mind usurps complete control, the individual goes psychotic.(p.2) When these individuals enter the psychotic state, studies have shown there can be some risk factor for criminal behavior, but none with solid evidence. Most individuals with depression are said to have violent behavior and violent hostilities, but none proven to show any criminal tendencies. A new study according to Jiri Modestin and colleagues ,(1997), studied 261 male patients who had been hospitalized at least once at a psychiatric facility, found no link between depression and crimes. He stated, depression is strongly linked to increased hostility and to anger attacks, inappropriate angry outburst associated with sweating, flushing, abnormal heart rhythms and out of control feeling. (p.6) The results of Modestin study doesnt reveal any criminal factors, just an individual needing help. Because the depression has already eroded the persons ability to perceive reality, this combination of conditions can increase the risk of violence. Some individuals under these condition felt threatened first before attacks or uncontrolled anger outburst. They did not perceive themselves to be more threatening or hostile to others, no more so, than any other affective disorder individual. Usually these individuals are more hostile or violent to the people or persons close to them. .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea , .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea .postImageUrl , .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea , .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea:hover , .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea:visited , .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea:active { border:0!important; } .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea:active , .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u5f6e507a83671d11e8aad4436fbf39ea:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: The Graphic Novels: Maus, Persepolis, Fun Home, and Barefoot Gen Essay According to K.

Reviewing The Movie Spiderman English Literature Essay Essay Example
Reviewing The Movie Spiderman English Literature Essay Paper In the film Spiderman 2 ( 2004 ) , Peter Parker, aka Spiderman, gets in to a conversation with Dr. Otto Octavious, the scientist, who subsequently morphs into the ace scoundrel Doc Ock. Dr. Octavious Tells Peter about his fiancee, a literature pupil, when they met in college and how she attempted to larn scientific discipline for his interest and how he tried to larn literature for hers. She was more successful and he less, as he explains to Peter, She was analyzing T.S. Eliot, and, compared to science, Eliot is really complicated ( Murphy ) . A similar perplexity ( or bias, for that affair ) dovetails literary scholarship on Eliot, more specifically in relation to The Waste Land. This paper is non an effort to do things easier or to find a synoptically consistent logic behind The Waste Land. Such an effort would be partly successful, but the chief accent of this paper is to find and reason for some markers or critical attacks that dissect the structural anatomy of the verse form. We will write a custom essay sample on Reviewing The Movie Spiderman English Literature Essay specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now We will write a custom essay sample on Reviewing The Movie Spiderman English Literature Essay specifically for you FOR ONLY $16.38 $13.9/page Hire Writer We will write a custom essay sample on Reviewing The Movie Spiderman English Literature Essay specifically for you FOR ONLY $16.38 $13.9/page Hire Writer The main motivation for such an effort is to detect critical attacks that can be applied to the whole verse form to earn different readings of the verse form. Eliot s attempts in the verse form have laid much of the accent on the act of reading, and instead than the complexnesss of the verse form that conjure to ebb reader involvement ( as immediate reappraisals of the verse form suggested ) , I argue that the verse form, in its disconnected ego, is able to take the reader deeper into the poetic experience. The first attack is instead theoretical, based chiefly on the thought of historical sense that Eliot emphasised in his essay Tradition and the Individual Talent. The 2nd attack is chiefly structural, based on the thought of deducing intending between the experiences of authorship and reading. Outlaying these attacks, it is deserving adverting that there have been legion cases in the research where these attacks have overlapped, with positive consequences that have eased the analys is. The Waste Land, in my foremost statement, is a catalytic entity. This simple derivation, of class, draws from Eliot s modern-day times and the societal aura after the Great War. But other than that, in composing the lines of the verse form, Eliot has stressed upon the cyclic nature of historical events that an single must see in her/ his life-time. The grounds for such a claim may be drawn from the verse form. First, allow us see the abstract nature of the verse form ; 2nd, the broken fragments and 3rd, the equivocal and frequently altering points of narrative. All, in their blazing manner defy a additive comprehension of the verse form. This would propose that the procedure of composing involved an impersonal idea procedure that stressed more on the thoughts of abstract feelings instead than a personal purpose of look. The response to such a method of composing would non be what is the poet stating? but what is the verse form stating? . More significance can be derived from repl ying the later inquiry than seeking to bracket the verse form within conventional grounds of composing poesy. Hence, it becomes clear that the procedure of creative activity, on Eliot s portion, is purely catalytic, non pulling merely on modern-day history, but pulling from a tradition of historic rhythms that have enriched the modern-day mind. These conform closely to Eliot s claims in theory in the essay Tradition and the Individual Talent. The same statement can be farther elaborated if we consider these lines from The Waste Land: Jerusalem Athens Alexandria Vienna London Unreal ( 374- 376, From What the Thunder Said ) . The symbols of fallen civilizations and falling civilizations come together in the infinite of two lines to show Eliot s feelings in the third- Unreal . It is a procedure of distilling history and clip within the infinite of a individual mention to convey a remarkable feeling amongst a montage of looks. The thought is to emphasize on the narrowness of the separation of tradition ( in my statement history ) and the adult male who suffers or the life poet with a to the full rounded personality ( Eliot ) . The vault of intending that lines similar to the above quoted lines in The Waste Land carry are because of the adept narrowness of this separation from tradition ( history ) that Eliot strives to accomplish. Any creative activity of poesy, as he stresses, is an add-on to the tradition in a dynamic relationship, and hence, the same tradition ( and history ) act as the bare castanetss of The Waste Land. For the comprehension of significance, this posit of structural anatomy of th e verse form, as I argue, is the primary stepping rock. From this theoretical base point, it is now possible to manage the structural statements refering The Waste Land in a directional position. In the old statement, the keywords to the statement were tradition and history. In turn uping The Waste Land in the modernist environment a similar historical position is ineluctable, but this statement largely concerns itself with sociological forms. In analyzing the disconnected construction of the verse form, the general concern is necessarily the broken or endangered topic of European civilization exposed to devastation after the First World War, and it should be so. From this same platform, if this analysis were to delve farther in to each fragment of event in the verse form and non needfully the five defined parts of the verse form, the job of narrative would halt at one point: socio- psychological atomization of the single topic. This statement is debatable for the simple ground that by turn uping the said atomization in the individual top ic , it brings into inquiry the auctorial voice of all the 434 lines every bit good as the remarkable voices of narrating characters inside the assorted fragments of the verse form ( and non merely the demarcated five parts, henceforward intending the same ) . The solution would be to get down with a broader spectrum and contract down to the two sets of individual topic . To state that structurally the verse form is determined by a common socio- psychological atomization is to get down with the modern sociological theory of atomization that states three phenomena of atomization ( Keunen ) . First, a division of the societal field in assorted subsystems, besides called functional distinction , 2nd ; the increasing tensenesss with moral discourse straight related to functional distinction, and 3rd ; the atomization of the subjective ( self- ) perceptual experience. In instance of Eliot, as we have seen in the first statement, the principal concern is with history and tradition, and therefore I infer a concern with civilization, the medium of historical heritage. Powered with this background, the statement is simple: in the commoditised modernist minute, money flowed easier than civilization and for Eliot and his conservative historicity, it was a baleful minute. Relatively, it was besides a pandemonium of feelings and interactions that could easy take to the atomization of experience. This is non to propose that The Waste Land is wholly a reactionist poetic creative activity, instead it is to propose ( as Keunen points out in relation to the modernist novel ) that for Eliot such an experience evaluated to cultural pessimism and utmost conservative reaction hovering between utopia and desperation ( Keunen ) . The consequence is the metempsychosis and Resurrection of decay in the verse form, from anticipating a cadaver to shoot ( line 71- 72, from The Burial of the Dead ) to the rat s back street where the dead work forces lost their castanetss ( lines 115- 116, from A Game of Chess ) . The statement, hence, tries to get at a valid decision to explicate the disconnected nature of the verse form and postulates that the fragments be analysed as fragments and non as a complete whole. As for the single topics of the fragments of the verse form, Eliot s concern is subjected to the places of narrative within the construction of the verse form. The general concern of the larger cultural and societal pandemonium is sublimated in the signifiers of subjective memory that is someway unqualified to come to footings with the functional distinction. In the construction of the verse form, this is expressed in the word picture of gender ( lines 222- 256, from The Fire Sermon ) , neurasthenia ( lines 111- 134, from A Game of Chess ) , nostalgia ( lines 8- 18, from The Burial of the Dead ) and the socially apparent quandary of category ( lines 77- 107 and lines 139- 172, from A Game of Chess ) . In all four cases ( and many more ) the finding factor that promises significance is the map and usage of memory. Each in their subjective manner tells a different narrative, but each is derived from the modern experience. This is an experience that does non assure significance as a inc orporate whole, but when dealt with abstractly, has a significance of its ain, in its ain right and context. The map of memory is to warrant its presence in the verse form as a whole, or such experiences would be lost in the pandemonium of societal atomization. Structurally, hence, the map of the socio- psychological atomization serves the intent of Eliot s purpose. He provides a poetic merchandise of his times but non confined to the contexts of his clip entirely, he draws from a history yesteryear and modern-day but avoids major conformations of historical philistinism. The disposed decision for this statement can be derived from one of Eliot s ain theories sing the societal map of poesy, one that deals with the map of history from a ulterior work, The Social Function of Poetry ( 1945 ) . There, he expounds the thought that the poet s existent protagonism of or assail on a peculiar societal attitude can non represent poesy s societal map for the obvious and simple ground that the poesy remains to be of some value to humanity long after the specific societal causes that may hold inspired it-if, for that affair, there go on to hold been any-have rather literally go lost to history. ( T. Eliot ) The nature scholarship related to The Waste Land since 1922 have served to ease the procedure ( or perplex farther! ) of geting at a consensus of significance. The cardinal job has been the break in the flow of information defying absolute additive outline, in the words of a critic, the modernist work stymies the readerly impulse to clean up up loose terminals ( McDonald ) . I argue that for The Waste Land there are no loose terminals. The old statements refering atomization and pulling on a tradition of history and literature by virtuousness of intertextuality at least turn out that each fragment has a presence of its ain in the verse form. A point in concern in the thesis of this paper has been the imbrication of the analysis of the two cardinal statements for positive consequences. The convergence is best described in these undermentioned footings: a few fragments could be added before the first published version of the verse form ( 1922 ) , or in the center of the verse form or at the terminal or at any other point in the verse form without restricting the construction of the verse form, or the tradition cradling the verse form or the derivational significances of the verse form. This is a debatable statement to do because it brings into inquiry the really nature and being of a work of art. The statement can be sustained, nevertheless by borrowing an component of analysis straight out of Saussure s theory of the duality of linguistic communication in such a manner that both the nature and being of the verse form can be sustained in the visible radiation of the present statement. Saussure described linguistic communication based on a syntagmatic relationship ( Ferdinand de Saussure ( Trans. W.Baskin ) ) , where each mark contributes something to the significance as a whole and each contrasting with all other marks in the linguistic communication. To this syntagmatic relationship, marks could be added to accommodate convenience. Over and above this relationship, there is present the paradigmatic relationship ( Ferdinand de Saussure ( Trans. W.Baskin ) ) , where sub- sets of marks could be substituted in topographic point of the outstanding marks of the syntag matic construction. In The Waste Land, it has already been established that single fragments exist in the freedom of their ain significance, lending to the larger sequence of significance, but there is no additive synoptic significance as a whole or one unit of significance. Hence, borrowing from Saussure s theory, it is possible to reason that fragments could be added to the original verse form ( 1922 ) without restricting the construction of the verse form or the tradition behind it. The same can barely be said of canceling any fragment from the verse form for the obvious ground that each published fragment ( and non the demarcated five ) serves some intent in the single significance and the complete sequence of significance. Editorial intercession, most famously that of Ezra Pound s has already curtailed the original composing and for the interest of the published one, the lesser said the better. For his ain poetical record, the thought of historical sense that he propagated in the essay Tradition and the Individual Talent is self apparent in the verse form. Every complete piece of good literature would be an add-on to the extremum of tradition ( T. S. Eliot ) . What this essay proves is that alternatively of trying intending derivation in the additive manner, which is non ever possible for The Waste Land, it is however a meaningful experience of reading in the disconnected whole of the verse form. The critical attacks, specifically the thought of tradition and an penetration into the structural anatomy of the verse form serve the intent giving way to nearing the verse form with certain tools in the act of reading. The key to this method of analysis has been the importance of readerly consciousness that Eliot has stressed in his legion other critical plants and what Eliot demands of it. In his composing of The Waste Land Eliot digs up the buried castanetss of the dead work forces and finds more, does more. It is for the critic to delve up those castanetss, a procedure of delving that might perchance neer terminal. The excavation, at least, serves as a pace stick for understanding and deducing intending out of The Waste Land.
