Mad (Wo)Men Mad Men successfully depicted the glamorous life of advertising in the 1960s. However, despite its fascinating portrayal, a recurring theme throughout the show was obvious: the inferiority of and sexism towards women in the industry. It was clear that power came through powerful men, and that while being pretty can get you on the ladder, it will not get you to the top. In 2016, we like to think that this misogynistic industry has changed significantly. From a surface level, advertising has achieved something that most previously male-dominated industries have not: a 50% female workforce. In fact, compared to the ~36% of females in finance, advertising appears to be a leader in championing women. However, is it really? Although…
Peabody Energy's commitment to environmental excellence is driven by the company's’ mission statement which states that when mining is complete, the company will leave the land in a condition equal to or better than it was before mining. In 1998, Blockbuster opened a state-of-the-art distribution center in McKinney Texas, just north of the company’s Dallas headquarters. Miss Tucci was responsible for developing Terraspring’s business plan, establishing the brand, and for launching the company.…
From there the TOR is then circulated through the IC for comments. Then a set of IC analysts from different agencies product the initial draft which is then reviewed by the NIC before being sent up for wider dissemination. Once reviewed the material must be vetted to discuss the quality and reliability of the sources for possible removal which is typically done through the National Clandestine Service within the CIA. IC experts from various agencies review the material to identify any errors…
According to the EPA, in Acid Rain Program: 2005 Progress Report, the maximum amount was set at 8.9 million, which is half the amount normally emitted by power plants. Electric utility plants were also limited to the amount of nitrogen oxides emitted. The Federal Government believed these limitations would reduce nitrogen oxides by two-million tons by the year 2000. The reduction was implemented in two phases. Phase I began in 1995 and four hundred and forty five units were involved by the end…
sites. As the EPA, federal and local governments move forward amendments need to be made to transform the EPA and CERCLA into a proactive agency and policy. This can be achieved by maintaining oversight on known hazardous waste sites, while regulating and preventing the occurrence of new hazardous waste sites. This approach can be facilitated in several different ways. First would be too reinstate the Superfund tax as a financial preventative measure to specific “risky” industries. When CERCLA…
involved the banishment of leaded gas in the environment. Leaded gas in US wasn 't banned until a man named Dr. Patterson, brought the issue into awareness to American people. Dr. Patterson, a chemist, found out that lead was not only bad but extremely dangerous. In 1922, Lead was introduced into gasoline for the purpose of high-performance vehicles and in effect raised concern for public health. Lead wasn’t seriously considered even after five workers in New Jersey died. Four of the five…
of August 2013 the “United states spent $37.4 billion dollars on imports alone in that month [which equated to millions of tons and thousands of ship trips from places international](US Census)”. What the high statistic of August suggest is that human beings are not only physically dependant on transportation but it is also a key part of most major economies. Trains or chemical spreading planes are a necessity but may pollute a rural area while transporting livestock or pollute a city docking…
advances; it not only enabled us to obtain gold and other metals from deep in the ground, but also to fly high in the sky. All of this ingenuity, however, comes with certain drawbacks that need to be fixed or improved upon. One drawback in particular is the disposal of ‘industrial waste.’ In this paper, we will be tackling two of the most important sources of industrial waste: E-waste and mining waste. E-Waste With the development of technology in our everyday life, people tend to own more novel…
There are many different types of emissions which are released from various sources such as power generation, responsible for about 70% of sulfur dioxide emissions, 20% of nitrogen oxide emissions, and 40% of mercury emissions released into the air (Human Health and Environmental Effects of Emissions from Power Generation). So, who is responsible? The air is not privately owned, thus no one is likely to take on the sole responsibility of maintaining its purity (tragedy of the commons).…
in the early 1940s the United States government diminished the beauty of this once pristine place. They allowed the Hooker Chemical Company to dump twenty-one tons of chemical waste into the sixteen-acre Love Canal area, named for idealistic and enterpriser William T. Love. The United States government should be financially responsible for the chemical wasteland at Love Canal, because the government initially sanctioned…
