Complete 7 pages APA formatted article: Middle East Studies. It also provides a link between parts of Asia and Europe. (Ghorban, 2004)

Recent estimates have shown that the Persian Gulf region has one of the highest population growth rates in the world. Research has shown that the majority of the citizens happen to be the youth. The youth as a group may have certain difficulties in adjusting to social change within the region. Additionally, there are problems with employment and other economic crises that may arise out of this youth outburst. Political transformations are also affected by the demographics of the regions. (Kartha, 1999)

In the year 2007, it was found that the population in the Persian Gulf stands at 430 million. Researchers have projected that the population will almost double by the year 2050. This means that there is an overwhelming number of youth currently. Most of them lie between the ages of ten and twenty-four. A similar survey found that a third of the population lies between the pages listed above. This means that these youth could continue propagating the population. A certain number of issues arise from these statistics. First of all, the overwhelming numbers of youth cannot be absorbed by the regions’ employment opportunities. These youth need to gain access to training and jobs but the region cannot provide this.

Part of the reason why the youth unemployment rate is high is that there are certain prevalent systems that impede their access to these jobs. First and foremost, institutional impediments i.e. government entitlements that currently exist block the youth from job markets. Secondly, political instability makes it difficult to provide jobs for the youth. There is also a high level of mismatch in jobs. Additionally, more companies tend to recruit foreigners. this is highlighted by the fact that about fifty per cent of workers in the Persian Gulf region are foreigners. Therefore the countries in the Persian Gulf have to deal with the fact that most of them lack the ability to provide employment for their youth. (Beaty, 2004) Religion is also another fundamental issue that affects the world’s population. This is because the Persian Gulf has the highest following of Muslim faithful in the world. They have played a role in shaping the world’s history through their religion.

Write 2 pages thesis on the topic people like us david brook.

People Like Us – David Brook. Diversity in the United s has different interpretations owing to its melting pot in regards to the distinct lifestyles and cultures. David Brooks, through his essay ‘People Like Us,’ maintains that although the US is termed to be a diversified nation, homogeneity exists in certain aspects, such as the interactions across the populace (Caldwel 2-3). According to his essay, humans normally associate and interact with others who are similar to them. In most cases, they find it comfortable as compared to otherwise, and by so doing, a virtual boundary is created.

Using evidence, such as statistical findings, Brooks contends the segmentation that people create among themselves emerges in various situations on several grounds. Brooks uses various rhetorical strategies to capture the pathos of the situation, homogeneity in the US ethos, and to reinforce his sentiments to the audience that the ethnicity that once existed in the US is far from over, as it is a common belief, only that it is hidden in the present day US.

The importance of imagery in Literature

Associating the people living in a particular area with certain behaviors and practices helps in the understanding of prevailing homogeneity in the US through evoking emotions in the audience (Gohrab 23-4).

In his essay, Brooks says, “if you asked a Democratic lawyer to move from her $750,000 house in Bethesda, Maryland, to a $750,000 house in Great Falls, Virginia, shed look at you as if you had just asked her to buy a pickup truck with a gun rack and to shove chewing tobacco in her kids mouth” (Brooks,132).

In essence, Brooks was referring to the depraved reputation Democrats hold against Republicans, who presumably engage in drug abuse, driving pickup trucks made by American companies and often own guns, which they use during their violent acts.

Through mentioning tobacco and gun racks to the audience, who are the readers of this article, Brooks engages them emotionally and clarifies the point of homogeneity.

He emphatically employs the use of symbolism and simile rhetorical strategies in an interesting manner to drive his point effectively. Owning of pickup trucks symbolizes the loyalty of a person to America, as it is the case with Republicans, and by likening living in Great Falls, Virginia to forcing the Democratic lawyer’s kid into tobacco smoking and compelling her to own guns, emotions are evoked to the reader through the simile.

Getting attention of the audience

It is easy to evoke emotions in the reader by supporting assertions with quality evidence. Brooks talks about the manner in which people are aiding in creating homogeneity, despite its ill motives, and gives quality evidence on this issue.In his bid to show how people do not care about diversity in the US, Brooks uses several examples of firms, institutions and even suggests the use of the Bell Curve.

It is interesting that he uses examples that are widely known and the audience, which of constitute readers, can relate with them without difficulty.

When the audience is familiar with what the author is giving as evidence for a given assertion, emotions are evoked, and hence better understanding (Wainwright 104), just as Brooks did in his essay. He manages to use deductive reasoning rhetorical strategy to show the audience the manner in which homogeneity is supported through various aspects of the society. The audience is familiar with the emerging trend of marketers dividing the population into clusters depending on various factors, and this reinforces the point Brooks is trying to instill.

Conclusion

In conclusion, rhetorical strategies can be useful tools when an author intends to make his narration useful to the audience. Rhetorical strategies evoke emotions in the reader, making the narration more relevant and better understood. Brooks has managed to employ symbolism, deductive reasoning, point of view and simile rhetorical strategies to show the homogeneity present in the US.

In my personal experience, people do not segment themselves due to psychological comfort or racism, given the accommodating nature of my community’s culture.

The United Arab Emirates has grown to be the most diverse and multicultural society in the world, Iranians, Indians and the Pakistanis all stay together without any discomfort. For this reason, The US ought to follow suit since it is beneficial and ethical to be diverse, just like Brooks suggests.

I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Launch of New Range of Luxury Handbags in the UK. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required.

the marketing strategies need to be formulated or optimally oriented as part of marketing orientation, so that organization can reach maximum customers, entice them and importantly build a long-term relationship, thereby retaining them.

As the above-mentioned country-specific aspects need to be mainly analyzed in relation to the product that is going to be launched, the product’s profile should ‘fit’ with the consumer of that particular market. Although it applies to all product range, it is of utmost importance to luxury brands including luxury handbags. A luxury brand is a lifestyle concept that is mainly designed for an exclusive consumer base, even while enticing a wider consumer base. Vickers and Renand (2003) observe that luxury goods are adapted versions of base products that are manufactured according to consumer needs and tastes, and there are three dimensions to these products, and it applies to luxury handbags as well. The three levels of luxury products are, first, the inaccessible luxury products, which are only or mainly for the elite or affluent, as the other classes will find it difficult to buy them. Then, comes the intermediate luxury products, which for the professionals who are financially equipped to buy those products and thereby fulfill their desire to attain the status of the affluent. Finally, there are accessible luxury products for the middle class, which will be set in a feasible price range. Prospective customers in each of these levels have to be enticed through level-specific marketing strategies. So, on the whole, it is necessary to grasp the consumer behavior regarding particular products, along with other environmental forces.

So, from the above understanding, it is clear that to launch the new range of luxury handbags in the UK, the macro and the microenvironment, as well as the consumer behavior in the UK market, has to be analyzed, based on which consumer and market-oriented relationship marketing strategies can be formulated.

I will pay for the following article Western Society and the Church in the Middle Ages. The work is to be 1 page with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page.

1) The predicament faced by Riccoldo da Montecroce was the sufferings of the Christians and the victory of the Muslims in Baghdad. He needed God to explain this situation to him and provide a solution to this problem and asks for justice. He expresses his desire through prayers that he wished God would help him resolve this dilemma – “confirm me in the truth and sincerity of the Faith” (Tolan, xiii). He wishes that the treachery of the Saracens would come to a halt and the Christians would be released from captivity.

He could not figure out the cause behind the destruction suffered by the Christians. 2) ‘The myth of Poitiers’ refers to the debate about the fact that the battle of Poitiers brought an end to the Muslim invasion of Europe. However, it may be said that the expansion of the Islamic empire was not a result of conquests and rather a process of “continuous conversion” (Cardini, 4). Also, the halt in the expansion could have been due to the tiredness and absence of energy in the invaders, which prevented them from progressing further.

As observed by Cardini, “it has been claimed that, without Poitiers and the heroism of Charles Martel, the name of Allah would be called by the muezzin over the dreaming spires of Oxford, the Koran would be studied in that famous university and the history of the world would have been quite different” (Cardini, 4). However, later examination reveals that the importance of the battle is not so great. 3)While the West was not united under one power, the East was strong to some extent.

(Southern, 53) The areas of conflicts increased as the years passed.
