EOC Week3 9to5

How there went about using marketing research to make this film?

The target market is professional women who work hard to balance family life with professional obligations. I this particular time period women seen in leadership roles were rare or not at all. Women were often seen as secretaries or assistance. They were known for proof reading, retrieving documents, and making coffee. However, being that the actors/actress in this film have not work in a real office setting. Which make this a non-bytes.

Three female employees of a sexist and egotistical ego find a way to get back at him. In the work place women pretty much performed those same duties which they did in their home. Such task as to being seen and not heard. Moreover, to retrieve things those were request by their boss or in a home setting, their children or husband.

What were some of the social issues that women had to deal with during this time period?

Women had to deal with the common workplace double standard, of being looked upon as second class citizens, not seen as an equal amongst their male colleagues. Sexual harassment was also very prevalent during this time period. Women often failed to complain in fear of the backlash received from their bosses or supervisors.

EOC: Research a Survey

Survey:Kid's Eating Habits in the U.S.: Trends Among Infants, Toddlers, Tweens and Teens


Many Americans especially those who are young in age. Their eating habits consist of fats, sugar, salt, and calories. Totally missing key nutrients children need for optimum health. There is a simple solution, which is balanced caloric and nutrient intake over a long-term along with adequate physical activity. This comprehensive study has provided a current overview of American eating habits in the US, including long-term changes. Discussing of mealtime patterns, portion distortion, and the contribution of away from home eating habits. Many children have poor nutrition.
I try and stay healthy for the mere fact of my health and because I am a little vein. I know many people who suffer from terrible eating habits, and even though they may say they want to get better it’s a big struggle.(http://academic.marketresearch.com/product/display.asp?ProductID=941485&prid=1078246724)

Do try and change your daily life habits is a struggle and in today’s society with plastic surgery, models and trying to date it’s an even bigger struggle.
This survey opened my eyes to certain habits that even I should look out for but even so things may come in between of that. Taking into consideration of work schedule, school schedule, (if you are a student) and just your won “me” time. Putting these factors into the eating healthy and staying healthy factor is a mind-boggling situation.

Eating healthy foods is one of the greatest ways you can live healthy and combat developing a disease. Once and awhile its open to splurge and indulge in your urges but not on a daily basis. You need to be aware of what you put in your body. You only have one body and you need to take care of it.
What this survey also showed me is that you have to look at what your family is buying for food that can either harm you or help you in this healthy living life style. Some people blame the parents of a chubby child because they are feeding them nothing but junk food. However, you may assume that’s what they are doing but in fact it could be genetic. We as a nation judge people. We need to get out of that habit. We need to take responsibility for our own lifestyle and do with it we see fit.

This survey has a lot of key points that most people may not know. I highly suggest reading it and seeing for yourself how you live your life and if you see a need for change.

Women shop for both themselves and for men, so marketers use this to their advantage because they advertise to both genders but also save money.

EOC: Week 1

I expect to learn as much as possible that I can from this class and professor. With that leaving the matter open to a wide abroad. I believe that it is befitting. My professor is very wise. I think that it would be an understatement to say that he's smart. As I sit there listen to him. I ask myself “how can one retain so much knowledge. Farther more, little detail on my major of studies. In his former career in marketing he was able to give accuracy on numbers and the next best moves for the company to take verbally and well as written. I have to be honest and say that there's a part of me that fears him. I think that he's that believes in pushing his students to excel. And who doesn’t want to be pushed by a teacher who has a true desire to instill the unknown in you. In some cases one can be pushed so hard that one doubts self and give up. On the other hand, I have that sense of not wanting to want to let him down, because I think he does have his students’ best interest at heart. My professor has even been able to relate with us on some things that my other professors in my same chose of major and have been in the business for years, have not been able to relate as he has in the small world of fashion.

Its behooves me how my other teacher who are in the same career of my choice of my major of study, cant connect with most of us the student. They give us the background and the history of where trends and different styles come from, but a sense of relation or recognition that we can relate to they totally miss it. Moreover, He know exactly what he’s talking about, and is very direct on all points, giving great detail to where even a younger generation or the student can relates. He's been able to give details down to an address. That which it is more that my core class teachers have been able to give. I hope to learn and apply myself to all that he is willing to teach. To end this note, its going to be hard. I hate to blog/twit.
