This sort of mass media advertising directly led to countless teen smokers picking up the habit in their adolescence. Major tobacco companies deny that these ads were targeted towards children or teens, a denial which created a tense debate between Big Tobacco and American parents, and although “the tobacco industry denies that their marketing is targeted at young nonsmokers … it seems more probable that tobacco advertising and promotion influences the attitudes of nonsmoking adolescents, and makes them more likely to try smoking” (Lovato, Linn, Stead & Best 344). The debate was settled when the United States Congress intervened over ten years ago and facing enormous pressure and scrutiny, all major tobacco companies have abandoned their once beloved logos. The demise of the Marlboro Man and Joe Camel is a welcome shift from the sinister advertising tactics used by tobacco companies in the past, but as we have learned from past regulation efforts, “over the past half-century, cigarette manufacturers have found ways to successfully sell their product despite increasing advertising restrictions and will no doubt try to continue to do so in the face of this new legislation” (James and Olstad 1). The impact from these icons on our popular culture will never be forgotten, however, as millions of people each year die from cigarette related illnesses. These pop culture icons, no matter how horrifying they are in a way, will always be remembered as among the most remarkable and memorable advertising strategies of all time.

This paper is an article review of "Using the attribute hierarchy method to make diagnostic inferences about examinees’ cognitive skills in algebra on the SAT," which specifically examines the ability to use cognitive 'mapping' to understand the strategies of test-takers when approaching problems on standardized tests. The authors attempt to provide a more useful method of analyzing test responses than simply grading them 'right or wrong' or analyzing test-takers' demographic data.

The bipartisan structure which defines the American system of democratic governance is premised on the notion that informed voters, when provided with an opportunity to select their own leadership, will invariably alternate between candidates with whom they identify closely, and members of the opposing party who offer meaningful reform. This maxim of American politics has resulted in a pattern of Presidential ascendency whereby neither party has captured the White House in three consecutive elections since the four consecutive campaign victories notched by Franklin Delano Roosevelt more than a half-century ago. Nonetheless, there are still pockets of provincial loyalty which still exist throughout the national electorate, with family histories and cultural touchstones serving to elevate one party above its competition in the hearts and minds of voters. In the second congressional district of Tennessee – an area which spans the metropolitan borders of Knoxville, as well as the surrounding suburbs of Farragut, Maryville and Powell – this curious phenomenon of local politics has become engrained in the societal structure, forming a continuous chain of leadership from the district's current representative to his Republican predecessors in 1855. With the election of John James "Jimmy" Duncan, Jr. (R-Knoxville) in 1988 – and his successful reelection every two years afterward to this day – the second congressional district of Tennessee has maintained a steady state of Republican representation for more than 150 years. However, this unbroken line of succession has not been mirrored in Tennessee's delegation of U.S. Senators throughout the years, as current Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) is just the third GOP member to represent Tennessee in the Senate during the last 100 years. The following analysis of Tennessee's electoral machinations, both on the Congressional and Senatorial level, is intended to examine the array of sociocultural factors which have contributed to the state's decidedly conservative political leaning.

Blue Ocean Strategy was published initially in 2005 as "Blue Ocean Strategy: How to Create Uncontested Market Space and Make the Competition Irrelevant" and since then it has become an international best seller. Managers and business executives in all parts of the globe are taking keen interest in this new concept of strategic management and are trying to implement it. BOS concept that gives the idea of creating and capturing unconcealed space of the whole market is not new. Michael Porter, Professor at the Harvard Business School and an expert in competitive strategies, has always focused on the point that successful strategy means to do things in a different way. It does not mean to do a strict competition with the other companies where everyone is doing same thing.

This is an eight page paper answering the question of whether there is a secret to social justice. Three sources are used to answer the question: Maya Angelou's "Graduation," Martin Luther King's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," and Ursula LeGuin's "Where do you get your ideas from?" The conclusion is that there is no secret to justice except for passion, peace, love, and hard work, but that secrets confer great power.
