Hi, I need help with essay on Application: Promotion and Digital Media. Paper must be at least 750 words. Please, no plagiarized work!

Critiquing the websites of these three companies, it would be seen that each of them represents their products and services in different ways by use of different forms of symbols. For example, Barclays, which is in the service sector generally uses pictures of people as its major symbol of representation. Toyota on the other hand uses picture of its cars as its major symbol of representation. For Vodafone, it could be seen using pictures of people expressing different forms of emotions together with pictures of its phones and tablets. The symbols used by the companies are a direct representation of the kind of business they are into. For example Barclays tries to depict pictures of people of different demographic backgrounds such as age, gender and economic status. This is important to the segment of the company as the company’s services are not limited to any specific demographic group. Toyota does a similar thing by showing almost all types of cars that fits different demographic groups.

Browsing through the websites of the three companies, it is seen that they provide different types and forms of messages that are conveyed by their symbols. Perreault Jr., Cannon & McCarthy (2014) noted that in promotion, targeting is an important practice that must not be exempted from the process. The reason this is said is that the course of promotion must be in such a way that it embraces all people the company identifies to be potential customers. For example in the case of Barclays, there is a picture of a man with his little kid, which clearly sends the message of the opportunities that exists for parents in planning for the future of their children while engaging in service with the bank. This is because right beside the said symbol, there with a text of children’s savings. Toyota also uses its symbol of cars to send message of how devising its line of

Need help with my writing homework on Own question about the book Attitudes toward Sex in Antebellum America. Write a 1250 word paper answering; Intimate issues are approached diligently and therefore many people had experienced sexuality based on racial, gender difference and cultural perspectives. All these contribute to the views that sex as an activity was rejected but ironically taking place.2 The main deterrent for premarital sex in Antebellum US was the fear of women and girls getting pregnant. However, sexual desire always existed between the men and the women. This occurs regardless of social class, position, slave or not slave. At some point, control of casual sex was basically done by the families and the superiors in the society. In away, even these facilities were also under control by the superiors. However, premarital sex was totally not allowed for anybody. This is very concerning because it is the same people who are not allowing to have sex but they are in need of the same. However, the sexual taboo majorly applied to women in practice.3 This reflects gender bias in this issue of discussion. Men had many options as far as sex was concerned. They were enforcing the rules effectively. Unfair treatment and discrimination made Margaret Sanger who was born in 1883 fumed in search of reasonable means of birth control. Women were pressed and needed ways of having freedom by looking for birth control measures. The fear of getting pregnant was very high. The Comstock laws had put her under several arrest warrant. The pioneer woman nurse had to fly to Europe having built a strong backing from several friends and other associates to spearhead the need for birth control measures.4 Through persistence of this particular nurse, the court offered opportunity through other activists and birth control measures were ensured in Antebellum. Sexuality as away of exploitation was the only way that the women could fight for liberty. The men on the other hand were enjoying freedom on sexual matters. Birth control mechanisms for women were also ironically geared towards freedom in having sex just as men were doing. The limitation on right for women movement could be ended through this birth control move. This reflects much study on gender equality from endurance on sexual exploitation and deterring movement of women. In addition, it is claimed that the purpose of sexual intercourse and general meaning of marriage shapes most of the families in Antebellum. 5 It would be the right explanation why women were on the argumentative end when their rights were ignored. They had to champion it by themselves to achieve the hard found freedom. The question is that why were they championing on this freedom? More explanations from the book show that there was commercialization of sex. Women wanted to be like men and move around once they succeeded in birth control option they were geared towards. The author states, “Women could now enjoy sex outside the marriage” It is very ironical because through sex, they were exploited. Sexual repression stereotype in 1800’s impacted diverse public argument. All the professionals, including the doctors and religious leaders all had to contribute in the debate about sexual exploitation and experience in Antebellum. Sexual exploitation however called for reforms and internalization of values of middle class. These reforms included chastity, hard work and thrift. Many honest citizens were able to indulge in crimes, sinful activities and implicit sexual behaviors.
