Marketing as a concept has existed long before the Internet. Abstract Internet, a network that revolutionized how information technology is seen, is a medium for marketing that changed the way marketers and consumers think. Marketing as a concept has existed long before the Internet. The four Ps of marketing are well known: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. Approaching the consumer through the Internet is very different than through common media. Marketers had to think twice, now they must think trice. Marketers, however, have a wider audience and in some cases, they may have the whole world as an audience. Consumers have many more choices and they are free to convince themselves before they buy. Consumers actively go to the location of their interest, and they are not passive anymore. Internet is a medium that offers many tools for the marketers and a wide range of choices for the consumers. 1 Introduction ============== The way of marketing changed because the Internet is used as a medium. In the past, the way of marketing had to adjust to new media in several cases. For example, when the radio appeared or even better when the TV became a domestic must. Internet, however, is a medium different from the common ones. For the first time, the consumer is not passive and is seen as the "end user". This has changed the way marketers must work in order to succeed using the Internet to promote products. This change however did not happen in one day. Internet exists for more than two decades. Its use as a marketing media, however, started recently. The purpose of this report is to investigate how marketing using the Internet is different from using other media. This investigation is separated in two views: (1) the merchants scope, and (2) the consumers scope. Merchants do not have an easy job as it is thought by many people. Marketing using the Internet is not an easy task. One can loose its severity very easily. Nevertheless, there are many benefits if used properly. Consumers can use their free will in order to choose where they want to go and not where they are told to go.

First They Killed My Father

Song Analysis for First They Killed my Father In Phnom Penh a little girl named Loung and her family had to leave everything behind because of the Khmer Rouge soldiers. Loung Ung wrote a book of her life in Cambodia and three themes for the book are confusion, pain, and hope. This book is called First They Killed My Father and the song I chose that goes with the book is called Gone too soon by Daughtry. For the song I choose three parts from the book. The parts include when Loung had memories of when she was little and was forced to leave her home, when Keav dies and Loung misses her, and finally when Loung loses her mother.Loung and her family were enjoying their time until the soldiers came and made them leave everything behind and leaving behind happiness, and their rich lives. Loung and her siblings were playing and their mother and father were packing and everyone’s smiles turned into frowns. â€Å"Not a day goes by / I’m always asking why† (Daughtry). This is the lyric that I felt matched with this part of the story. â€Å"What’s going on? Where is everyone going? Where have you been? (Ung 19). My first element is confusion.Loung is asking her Ma and Pa all these questions and no one will explain anything, so everyone is confused. Everyone is leaving and walking on foot to places where they don’t know. The area of interaction is approaches to learning because his is where she learns where things will change for now on. However, this is not all the tragedies and emotions that happen. â€Å"Today could have been the next day of the rest of your life†(Daughtry). â€Å"She is not going to live; she is not going to make it† (Ung 97). Everybody dies, but people in Cambodia would die of sickness, starvation, or die a killed death.This part is where Keav is dying from something she ate. Loung Ung and her family are feeling pain. This is the first family member who dies and it is a tragic. She would have never died at such a young if he Khmer Rouge didn’t force all teens to work for soldiers. The area of interaction is health and social. It is health and social because Keav’s health is really bad from starvation and something she ate. This lyric matches with this part of the story by how it explains how Keav could of lived for a very long time.So far Loung has had memories about how her life first began to get worse, and when her first family died. â€Å"Everybody was laughing / instead I just sit here and cry† (Daughtry). â€Å"Ma where are you! Ma you can’t do this to me! ( Ung 160) Depression is hard and it can go for a long time especially if you are in Loung’s family. Ma was taken away and Loung was crying and going over everything she went through. The area of interaction is health and social because Loung is dealing with her feelings for her family.She is longing for everything to be the way it was. This lyric matches this part because she is crying for her life and being hurt while everyone is being normal. This is where the theme is depression. She is always going to be scared for life because of the deaths of Geak, Ma, Pa, and Keav. There is pain, depression, and confusion for the elements in this story. A tragic life for Loung Ung and the struggles she has went through. She may never feel the same way. There are so many songs, and quotes from the book that touch your heart.

A Parent And A Sick Child - 1881 Words

Imagine a parent and a sick child. The child is in need of a kidney transplant and her mother is not a match, so they have to wait on a very long list for a kidney that may not ever come. The mother is considered to be of higher class and has the money to buy her daughter a new kidney. However, buying human organs is an illegal practice, therefore, the mother can do nothing but wait for her daughters turn at the top of the list. This mother is forced to handle the turmoil of her daughter’s illness and the fact that her daughter may not acquire an organ at all is a far heavier burden to bear. Imagine another scenario, a college student is in need of money. He ventures down to the local organ donation center and donates a kidney, and a section of his liver. The college student is then paid for his organs, and he pays off his school loans and is allowed to become financially established. The matter of organ donation is an extremely ethically challenging idea; furthermore, the top ic of selling organs is an even more so controversial issue. This research will discuss the pros and cons of selling human organs. For those who do not know, organ transplants are a relatively new idea. Since the eighteenth century, doctors have tried to formulate ways to successfully transplant organs from one human to another. Nevertheless, it was not until the 1950’s that a transplant was successfully completed.
