Research Proposal of PowerAde A brief overview of the product/brand PowerAde is a drink used in sports. The Coca-Cola Company is the one that creates, manufactures, and markets the brand. It competes with Gatorade, one of PepsiCo’s brands (Seco Sanz, 2015). PowerAde was first introduced by the Coca Cola Company back in 1988. The brand competes in the sports drink market with other brands such as Gatorade. When it comes to competitive advantage, Gatorade is more competitive than PowerAde. The reason behind this is that PowerAde lacks effective marketing. It covers a small market unlike Gatorade that covers approximately 77% of the market (Seco Sanz, 2015). PowerAde is designed to enhance athletic performance. It contains a wide range of flavors as well as different ingredients. The brand’s major ingredients include salt, sugar, together with citric acid. A high fructose corn syrup is used to sweeten the product. A vital notation is that PowerAde does not contain fats or proteins. People who engage in sports love products without fats or proteins for fitness purposes (Jones & Morgan, 2014). Therefore, PowerAde considered…

Then a youthful and ambitious soldier, Gentrix Badoux, had much promise and a formidable career ahead of him in the American Navy. Little did he know that the Japanese had an astounding surprise that will curtail his progression in the armed forces. Gentrix Badoux was assigned Arizona, a magnificent battleship that would be his harbor during the war. In preparation for the journey to Hawaii, Gentrix lived in Montana; he packed his Navy uniform in his blue traveling bag. He was feeling nervous as if going to war for the first time. He arrived at the train station, and the train ticket attendant gave him his boarding pass. The train smelled musty, rusty, and old. Small compartments were lined out, with beds and tables and small desks for the passengers. He laid out his…
Mass media Mass media has coexisted with Homo sapiens since the brink of time. Its stretches back beyond the dawns of recorded history to the individuals who wanted to reach out to a larger group of audience through any form of communication. A painting on the wall of a cave, or just by telling a story to a group of people. History of mass media can be traced back to the early days of dramas that were performed in various cultures. The word “media” was first mentioned in the 1920s, but back then, it referred to something that had its origin much further in the past, and the term Mass Media originated with the print media that was also its first example.

Disparities in salary packages paid to male and female employees Disparities in salary packages paid to male and female employees have been widely documented and publicized for many decades. This trend has resulted in continued criticisms of gender-based societal domains. In the sports industry, there is significant wage inequality among female and male head coaches (Mckenna, 2016; Traugutt, Sellars, & Morse, 2018 ). Basketball provides a strong case in which there are profound disparities. For example, North Carolina Men’s basketball coach, Roy Williams earns a base salary of more than $2 million while the women’s head coach, Sylvia Hatchell, receives about $650,000 (University of North Carolina, 2016). This persistent disproportionate compensation in this industry underlines the continued problem that women have been undergoing in labor circles. In 2015, the difference between men and women pay gap was about 20.4% for full-time employees (Ament, 2017). Effectively, this gap implies female workers earned 79.6 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts. While strides have been made over the years, the gender pay gap continues to exist in various industries (American…
Donald Trump excellent job during the 2016 election of creating advertisements Donald Trump did an excellent job during the 2016 election of creating advertisements. Trump was in a heated contest against Hillary Clinton for the presidency. To win, Trump had to convince Americans that he was the best candidate. He does so with this ad. This ad was particularly useful because he uses multiple appeals to draw in viewers. During this ad, Trump plays himself off as an anti-establishment, anti corrupt candidate who is the only person capable of fixing things. This worked because a lot of people don’t trust establishment politicians. They are seen as people that can be bribed very easily. He also appeals to emotion. When Trump talks about the past, he does so for a reason. He is building nostalgia about the good old days when our country was the best. His slogan is even Make America Great Again. The logic that he uses in this ad is also very sound. He claims that he is the only candidate who can fix the real problems in…
