I am an education major but I wanted to step out my major and do my review on fashion websites. The two websites I choose were www.allure.com and www.teeenvogue.com. I choose the two websites because they have popular magazines. Allure.com has Allure Magazine and teenvogue.com has Teen Vogue Magazine. Although I am not a big fashion person, I wanted to step outside the box a little. This was my first time going on these two websites. Allure is a website that is popular among many teens and adults

magazines worldwide by the early 1990’s, some critics may have felt the market was over flooded. In spite of the heavy competition, two publishers believed that they had something fresh and innovative to offer the magazine industry. In 1991, Conde Nast unleashed Allure, the first women’s magazine devoted specifically to beauty. Three years later Time Inc. came up with an idea of their own. They launched InStyle, hoping to set it apart from the competition by appealing to a broader demographic than
Eating disorders are no joke and more than half the time, this problem begins in girls as young as grade one. One thing that plays a huge role in low self esteem and disorders is modeling. Showing hardly dressed women with legs the size of the average person’s arm is not putting a positive image in the minds of young girls. Modeling should not be used because it can be extremely harmful to others. Many young girls read magazines and watch TV and look up to the models that they see. They then get
Chef Gordon Ramsay may have tried a lot of great food in his life, but it turns out Gordon had never tried a Girl Scout cookie until recently. Considering that he isn't from America that makes sense, but he has been her a while and Girl Scout cookies are everywhere. Fox News shared that Gordon Ramsay actually tried three different kinds while on Jimmy Kimmel Live and his reaction is priceless. It was obvious that Ramsay was not a fan of a couple of kinds that he tried out. Gordon Ramsay got to try

Friend or Foe In the book, A Man For All Seasons by Robert Bolt there are a few people that can’t be trusted by Sir Thomas More, the main character in the book.

In the end of the book More is executed for high treason and his family goes from being very well off to having to start over. So this book shows that through deceitfulness
Shusaku Endo's Silence The novel Silence has provoked much discussion on Loyola's campus this semester. As a predominantly Christian community, we find that the themes and dilemmas central to its plot land much closer to home for us than they would for many other schools: to non-Christians, the question of whether to deny (the Christian) God--for any reason--may not necessarily be such a personal one. Jesus' commandments to love God above all and one's neighbor as oneself do not find a parallel
politicians at its mercy. An alleged late twentieth-century incident of high-tech lynching involved the case of politician, Clarence Thomas. Thomas, appointed to the Supreme Court by President George Bush in 1991, was at the center of media frenzy when law professor, Anita Hill, accused Thomas of sexual harassment. It was Thomas’s word against Hill and though Thomas was confirmed as an associate Supreme Court justice, the lasting implications of the scandal follow both him and Hill to this day
Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan Above anything else, Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan is a creation story and an investigation of human nature. The story begins in a time of chaos and death and through a journey of human development culminates in the establishment of a sustainable and rational society—the commonwealth—led by a sovereign. At a first casual glance, Hobbes’ reasoning of the transformation from the state of nature to the commonwealth is not airtight. A few possible objections can be quickly spotted:
competitive by nature and would never be happy in a society where everyone is equal and there is no chance of advancement. Sir Thomas More dreamt of a land that was much like England but could never surpass time. He opened the eyes of a nation and made its people desire something new. Views were significantly changed and the world would never be the same. Sir Thomas More inspired dramatic changes in religion, community life and even paved the way for communism. And he did all of this through
Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night by Dylan Thomas Many people get to the end of their lives and only then do they realize what they have missed. They realize that there is something that they just did not do in life and they try to do that thing before life's end. The poem, 'Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night' by Dylan Thomas, is based around five people. There is a wise man, a good man, a wild man, a grave man, and a father. For some reason, others more obvious than the ones before
How the Victorian Age Shifted the Focus of Hamlet 19th century critic William Hazlitt praised Hamlet by saying that, "The whole play is an exact transcript of what might be supposed to have taken pace at the court of Denmark, at the remote period of the time fixed upon." (Hazlitt 164-169) Though it is clearly a testament to the realism of Shakespeare's tragedy, there is something strange and confusing in Hazlitt's analysis. To put it plainly, Hamlet is most definitely not a realistic play. Not
partisanship of 1800, it was expected by supporters and foes alike that the presidential administration of Thomas Jefferson would pioneer substantial and even radical changes. The federal government was now in the hands of a relentless man and a persistent party that planned to diminish its size and influence. But although he overturned the principal Federalist domestic and foreign policies, Thomas Jefferson generally pursued the course as a chief executive, quoting his inaugural address “We are all
