Concepting Hult Shanghai discusses new branding methodology Hult Blog

Corporate  Relations at Hult Shanghai kicked off their Module B events series on January  7, 2015 with a full house for  the event CONCEPTING, Creating a Successful Brand.   Charismatic Dutch advertising and marketing expert, Wilbert Kragten, managing partner of BSUR  Shanghai, joined students on campus to discuss concepting, a new way of developing brands. Instead of using traditional product  proposition, market segmentation, and  target groups – concepting starts with discovering a  mentality for the brand.  Wilbert introduced the methodology and its application in China  today, using case studies to illustrate the  importance of concepting and its contribution to the success of strong  brands in China. Kragtens talk covered the guiding  principles of some domestic Chinese brands, from  pure manufacturing entities to global brand  identities. He also revealed that one of the Chinese brands that he and  his team have worked on will be launching its  products in Apple stores across the U.S. this month.

The Persecution Of Visible Minorities - 1935 Words

As previously stated, the persecution of visible minorities has occurred throughout Canadian history. Canadian history is plagued with examples of persecution and racism against visible minorities, specifically Canadian history has exhibited overt forms of persecution that exist on an institutional level, such as the segregation of Aboriginals in residential schools and the internment camps that held Japanese Canadians. Current persecution of racialized individuals has become more concealed and now exists through hurtful stereotypes and individual forms of racism and persecution that occurs between individual citizens and groups. Policy surrounding persecution and racism towards racialized minorities exist on municipal, provincial, and federal levels. Using the example of a hate crime taking place in Alberta, municipal policy would outline the persecution of racialized individual as a crime, provincial legislation also outlines this action as a human rights violation, and the Crimina l Code of Canada outlines this particular crime. Therefore, all three levels of government have policies and legislations that discuss and outline this particular human rights violation, however the municipal government as well as the provincial government are the jurisdictions that would handle this particular crime.

Racism in the 1930s Essay - 1135 Words

Racism in the 1930s The 1930s was a time of change for the blacks of the United States of America. However, this change was not all for the better. The main change for blacks during this period was that many of them migrated to the North, which in turn, caused many other situations, which included the election of President Roosevelt. This was a positive, as was the improvement from the de jure segregation, when laws allow segregation, of the South to the less harsh segregation of the North. The blacks made advancements during this time, yet there were still many more to make. Before and during some of the thirties, America was a completely segregated society, which was supported by both the law and the police who enforced it.†¦show more content†¦This was a time in which numerous amounts of blacks moved from the Southern states, to the Northern and Western states in search of better jobs, better schools and less racism (Segregation in the United States 5-9). Between 1910 and 1930 alone, 1 million blacks moved to the North. Because of the great number of blacks in the North, they still did not find many open jobs and, and lived in dirty and run-down places. Crime, despair and poverty all became normal to the black community (African Americans 2). Because many of the black people had moved to cities, it made the number of blacks grow in certain areas, giving them the amount of power needed to elect officials. The blacks influence on the outcome of the political races were realized by the politicians, who began to support civil rights and oppose segregation. Blacks began to win many votes as well, which quickened the the pace of civil rights and changed the political landscape (Segregation in the United States 10). The blacks migrating to the North did not have all positive results though. Most of the blacks looking for jobs were under-qualified, leaving only such jobs as laborers or servants open, which was much like th eir jobs in the South. And those who found a job were lucky to have a job at all, because many blacks could find no job, leaving them to live with other job-less blacks in unsanitary and run-down housing. This type of housing grew, creating black slums, or ghettos,Show MoreRelatedPrejudice in To Kill a Mockingbird Essay1549 Words   |  7 Pagesto learn about society as illustrated in her novel ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ set in 1930’s America.

The Legalization Of Same Sex Marriage - 2317 Words

Anthony J. Cavataio PHL 118: Intro to Philosophy 8/14/14 Gary Fuller One of the most heated and debated topics today is the legalization of same-sex marriage. No matter where you look, people are always expressing their opinion on this issue. Politicians, athletes, and celebrities are some of the many people who continually come out with either support or opposition of same-sex marriage. History has shown that issues regarding equality and rights take time to move forward. The women’s suffrage movement and the civil rights movement are both prime examples of the effort and time it takes for movements to become accepted by everyone in the general public. These movements involve many of the same dynamics that make up the push for the legalization of same-sex marriage. People come together and have parades or demonstrations, public figures make their opinions known, and slowly but surely the government enforces change. Today, there are many factors that go into the debate of legalizing same-sex marriage. The debate expands much farther beyond the idea of whether or not same-sex marriage is morally right or wrong. This decision includes reevaluating previous ideas of what traditional marriage is, involves instituting new laws, and changing part of the public’s opinion on the idea of same-sex marriage itself. As with all issues that are faced by people, there many are pros and cons that need to be considered before making the big decisions of legalizing same-sex marriage.Show MoreRelatedLegalization Of Same Sex Marriage Essay963 Words   |  4 PagesKaye Shannelle Romuar Alfritz Arevalo Angelika Figueroa Legalization of Same-Sex Marriage I.
