My response to them is that, if America has the time for - right-wing radio talk shows, tele-evangelists, political correctness, personality psychology and global warming deniers - then it most certainly has the time for art, which consumes much less resources than any such things and affectuates far greater utility.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">The Renaissance Italy, with a population of 3 million and per capita GDP of $1,000 a year, had the time and the resources for Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Cathedral, and any number of timeless masterpieces. America, with a population of 300 million and per capita GDP of $45,000, has the human and material resources for 300 Sistine Chapels. Why then do we not see works of similar caliber being produced?<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Much of it is a result of anti-artistic thinking <a href="https://www.pureshaka.com/ ">https://www.pureshaka.com/ </a>. There are people in America who believe that there is no value for art. Yet these same people think that there is value in things that are much more expensive than art and that are ultimately destrucive - things such as right-wing radio talk shows, tele-evangelists, political correctness, personality psychology and global warming denier industry.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Another contributing factor is a hostility that we see between some in art and some in business. A lot of artists see businessmen as scoundrels, and a lot of businessmen see artists as bums. That does not have to be. Art and business should work together; and when it does work together - as was the case in 1920s - the result is a legacy of embodied beauty. In 1920s, there were any number of beautiful buildings and machinery produced, such as the Chrysler Building and the Packard. Are we less talented than the people in 1920s? Absolutely not. There has just been a lot of stupidity on this issue, which stupidity it falls up to people like me to address.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">If people in 1920s, or during the Italian Renaissance, could produce great works of beauty, then so can the contemporaries. There is more wealth now in the world than at any time in history, and some of this wealth should go to creating beauty. Beautiful buildings, beautiful machinery, beautiful paintings, beautiful interiors, beautiful literature, beautiful film, beautiful music, beautiful software, are all things that people today can easily afford. Much more so than either during the Italian Renaissance or in 1920s.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">The more beauty is produced, the less resources need to go to psychologists, preachers and practitioners of political correctness to destroy people's longing for beauty. The more money is saved, and the greater benefit is achieved. Not only does this make sense aesthetically, it also makes sense economically. For what is a pittance in terms of contemporary wealth, can be created an enormous legacy of beauty. And that would not only benefit the contemporaries; it would also benefit the memory of the contemporaries in the minds of the future generations. They will look at all the beauty that has been created and thank the people who have created it. We will have achieved a proud legacy.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Instead of fighting each other, the businessman and the artist should work together. Every time they did in the past, the results have been spectacular. Ultimately both the businessman and the artist are a part of the same pursuit: To create benefit and add to life. The businessman actualizes humanity's productive potential, and the artist actualizes humanity's creative potential. And it's time that both parties see that about one another and learn to get along.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">When the creative and the productive work together, the result is embodied beauty. And that will not only benefit the contemporaries. It will create a glorious legacy for the contemporaries that future generations will honor and seek to rise to the challenge that it sets. </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://msad78.blogspot.com/feeds/781756440279131263/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://msad78.blogspot.com/2022/01/art-business-and-legacy-of-beauty.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/607187977037387525/posts/default/781756440279131263'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/607187977037387525/posts/default/781756440279131263'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://msad78.blogspot.com/2022/01/art-business-and-legacy-of-beauty.html' title='Art, Business and Legacy of Beauty'/><author><name>sdfsd</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04943599385574632044</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607187977037387525.post-8193736648180929965</id><published>2022-01-09T05:28:00.005-08:00</published><updated>2022-01-09T05:28:38.366-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Strategic Customer Attraction Marketing Blueprint</title><content type='html'>&nbsp;With the ever changing face of the economy based on varying factors [such as government protectionism, automation of industries, downsizing of companies] the trend to more and more people choosing to start their own business for various reasons continue to rise <a href="https://autofirestrategy.com/ ">https://autofirestrategy.com/ </a>. With that said - along with this trend there is an increasing need for structured marketing process and client acquisition processes and methodologies to be utilised within these businesses in order to transform a startup into a fully functional revenue generating entity.<div id="article-content" style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">It is often the case that many smaller businesses are product rather than market focussed. In many cases we find that there is no actual marketing department so to speak of and as a consequence the function of marketing within the company ends up being fulfilled 'as and when'.We can contrast this to what we find in any larger organisation or corporate; we find an actual marketing department, with qualified marketing professionals who are analysing the market, target customers and competition, they continually look for trends and movements in their chosen space in order to refine the marketing message and continually push the communication through the channels. This is to include the distribution channel [where appropriate], print media, radio, catalogues etc, etc and of course the use of digital marketing channels [social media, email marketing, video marketing, micro blogging and more].The above is what leads to the typical ongoing market penetration that we see within these organisations leading to new products and services development a steady stream of new clients and the nurturing of existing clientele.It is with the smaller organisation in mind, the solopreneur or work from home business owner that any strategic business attraction marketing blueprint is targeted towards <a href="https://rainmakrr.com/">https://rainmakrr.com/</a>. This is one or two steps down from making use of an in person consultant that will look to understand the business operations and put specific structures in place that when followed; will first provide a deeper understanding of the market place and target market clients but will also provide the foundation for providing the products and services that the intelligence directs the company towards producing.It is recommended that organisations looking to add structure and processes to the marketing and client acquisition aspect of their businesses direct their energies to these main fundamentals.<ol style="margin: 0px 0px 1em 2em; padding: 0px;"><li style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Client Strategy &amp; Preparation</li><li style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Setting Up Key Business Processes &amp; Systems</li><li style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Getting Clients While You Sleep</li><li style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Follow Up &amp; Retention</li></ol>1) Gaining a deeper understanding of the needs, desires and behaviour of the clients no matter what the industry will drive the decisions that are made in relation to the products and services that are developed and presented to the market space.2) Key systems and processes such as continuous market intelligence related to pricing and customer behaviour can help to take the organisation to the next level and gain a significant competitive advantage over other companies supplying related or similar products and services.3) The marketing process for bringing new prospects into the marketing funnel must be an ongoing activity; whilst focusing on servicing existing clients it is imperative that someone is taking care of make new clients aware of the needs that your organisation can fill.4) Too often it is the failure to followup and keeping in touch that leads to the loss of valuable customers; depending on the business tools such as email marketing, videos, membership sites and print media may be used in order to stay at the top of the mind of the target customer.Once the process has been developed it will then be a matter of refining it [say once a quarter] whilst some is taking care of the execution which will lead to new customers, sales and products and services leading to increased revenue generation.</div><div id="article-resource" style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Stephen C Campbell is a marketing strategy consultant and trainer, he developed the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.stephenccampbell.com/customer-attraction-marketing/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #a30006;" target="_blank">Customer Attraction Marketing</a>&nbsp;Blueprint to assist organisations to take charge of their customer acquisition.

They are everywhere. You see them at work, on the streets, in restaurants and in the bars. You see them on the arms of men, average men. If beautiful women are attracted to average looking guys then what is the secret to attracting beautiful women?<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">First:<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">You must get rid of your fear of approaching beautiful women. How do you do this? You need to change your mind set. You must first realize and accept that a beautiful woman is still just a woman. Often beautiful women don't even realize how beautiful they are <a href="https://turbinei.com.br/comprar-seguidores-no-instagram/ ">https://turbinei.com.br/comprar-seguidores-no-instagram/ </a>. You must also realize that a lot of beautiful women don't get approached by men. Men think these women are 'out of their league'. They are afraid to approach them. Change your mindset and realize that beautiful women, like every other woman out there, want a stable, fun, interesting guy. They aren't interested in the over strutting alpha male. They aren't interested in the self centred good looking guy who always winds up in competition with her for everyone's attention. The beautiful woman does not want a jealous man. By changing your mindset and realizing that beautiful women want good guys who are fun you will realize that you can approach them and they are not out of your league.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Second:<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Now that you've changed your mind set you need to learn how to approach and flirt with the woman you're attracted to. Approaching her starts with you attracting her attention. How do you do this? With your body language. Your body language must show that you are confident and safe <a href="https://signature-products.com/">https://signature-products.com/</a>. This means head up, shoulders back, comfortable pace. You must not scurry around with your head down, nor strut like a peacock. Walk into the place with confidence, taking up space and you will attract her attention.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Her attention is now on you. Make eye contact. Look deeply into her eyes and then look away. Shift slightly as though she's made you a little 'uncomfortable'. You know what I mean. Wait a couple minutes and look back at her. Make eye contact again but this time look away quickly. Act like you don't want her catching you looking at her, but in truth that is exactly what you want. Now walk up to her and ask her name. Remember her name. Use it. Ask if you can join her, if she's receptive and says yes then start flirting right away with her. Use your body, lean in, casually touch her and then pull back. Let your body start the flirting. Then as the conversation is flowing drop a verbal flirt or tease. Just enough to give her a hint that you may be interested but nothing blatant. Women and this includes beautiful women, do not like the obvious. They love to be challenged. They want mystery and intrigue. Flirting with a woman should leave the woman wondering, is he interested or isn't he.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Third:<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">The best way to attract a beautiful woman is by being a man of high social value. High social value shows the woman you have a personality that attracts people. It tells her you are in demand and it tells her that you probably don't need her. Like I said above, women love to be challenged so if it appears that you don't need her she'll be more interested. What is high social value?<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">The man with high social value is the man who has a large group of friends and acquaintances. He is the man who is not alone in the bar. He easily flows from one group of people to another. He is the man who is surrounded by both men and woman. A lot of people believe that these types of men are born that way. That they themselves can never achieve that level of social value. But this is not true. Any man can increase his social value. You do this by improving your communication skills, by learning to make every person in your group feel important and by being confident.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">Start building your offline social circle. Do this by going out after work with the group. Do this by inviting a friend or two out as a group and by asking them to invite others. Then take the time to talk to the people in the group. Don't just stick to the one or two people you know. Talk to everyone. Show interest in their day, their lives, their occupations and so on. As your social circle grows so does your social value. Beautiful women are attracted to men with high social value.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">A lot of guys think that going out with a group hinders their chances with a woman. This is not true, in fact the exact opposite is true. So if you want to attract beautiful women you're best bet is to be a man of high social value. Go out in groups. Make sure there is a mix of ages and men and women in your group.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">To attract beautiful women you must first change your mindset. You must accept that beautiful women are just like any other woman. They want a man they can count on, one who is fun, a little daring but reliable. They are not out of your league. Once you've found the beautiful woman you want, learn to approach and flirt with her. Build your social value. Be a man of high social value and you will attract beautiful women. </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://msad78.blogspot.com/feeds/1314703297921455924/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://msad78.blogspot.com/2022/01/take-mystery-out-of-how-to-attract.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/607187977037387525/posts/default/1314703297921455924'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/607187977037387525/posts/default/1314703297921455924'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://msad78.blogspot.com/2022/01/take-mystery-out-of-how-to-attract.html' title='Take the Mystery Out of How to Attract Beautiful Women'/><author><name>sdfsd</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04943599385574632044</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607187977037387525.post-8047319448800036789</id><published>2022-01-09T05:26:00.005-08:00</published><updated>2022-01-09T05:26:38.084-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Beauty Myth - How Do Women Really Feel About Their Looks?</title><content type='html'>&nbsp;In 1991, Naomi Wolf published The Beauty Myth detailing her understanding on how women continue to be oppressed throughout society for the benefit of men.<div id="article-content" style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Wolf argued that the instigation and use of the myth of beauty would be men's ultimate weapon against women and their perceived rising power.Women continue to face blockades in the workplace due to the political and systemic use of beauty to define worth. Although men define the ideology of beauty, the demarcation of beauty is not defined thereby leaving the female confused about her own feelings of self.This allows big corporations to levy unfairly the work that women do increasing&nbsp;their&nbsp;revenue whilst enriching both female expenditure and manageability <a href="https://www.bluekiee.com/ ">https://www.bluekiee.com/ </a>. This has in turn reduced the female's self-esteem, a powerful tool for control.Naomi Wolf wrote this book in 1991 following both the first and second wave of feminisms. Are we embarking upon a third wave of feminism? Many skeptics of feminism report that the previously overwhelming injustice towards women and their cries that created and sustained Women's Rights movements have now been diluted to a mere whimper. Is there any truth to this statement?I want to use this article to examine what if any changes have happened since 1991 and how women's lives may or may not have changed.Women have always been necessary to the workplace even if not respected for their contribution. Latent history informs us that due to the First World War (WW1) in 1914 -18, women were necessary to move out of the home where they worked to fulfill the employment gap due to men being at war. When the war ended, women did not naturally want to give up this level of financial independence and return to the home. Cross-referencing historical information, the fight for Women's Rights began much earlier therefore women were already aware of the injustices towards them thereby informing of the reluctance to 'return to the home.' In 1848, 68 women and 32 men outlined grievances towards women including women having the right to vote and signed a Declaration of Sentiments in New York. It was in 1872 that saw the national movement begin in the UK in the form of the National Society for Women's Suffrage and later the more influential National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies <a href="https://mindseteco.com/">https://mindseteco.com/</a>. Without this cross-referencing, one would be forgiven for mistaking that up until WW1 in 1914, women were not knowledgeable about their unjust treatment towards them.With the knowledge that women did indeed know that they were being treated unfairly and that they actually felt strong enough to take action in different forms showed both tenacity and strength; words that were not used to describe women at all. Since 1991, what has changed to strengthen Women's Rights to being more equal to men?Not much in my opinion from the viewpoint of entry-level top careers for women although according to a recent research carried out by Astbury Marsden, they found that this year has seen an increase of 100% of women in management positions. This equates to 12% overall from 6% overall last year. We should be grateful! What about the significant pay gaps between men and women for equal jobs? Well, according to Dr. Carla Harris from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA), the gap is widening, currently for every dollar a man makes, his female counterpart earns 82 cents. I doubt very much that you will find a noticeable difference in the UK. In fact, upon research, women earned 15% less than men. Is this gap made worse in poor economic times?So not much has changed in terms of respect for females and the contribution they make in society and for society. Not much in terms of how females are viewed, mostly negatively and for sexual pleasures. However what is more startling (perhaps an over-exaggeration) is that although there have always been women 'night-workers' (prostitutes), women appear to be engaging in their own war against themselves. Let me put this into perspective about this internal war going on with women. Notwithstanding the 'glamour' needed for night workers to attract for work, women are now using this same concept for approval from men and in the meantime waging an unsubstantiated war on their self-esteem. Not that those women did not care for their looks previously, as their grooming ritual is natural in attracting a mate. However, because of the Beauty Myth, the natural birthing process of grooming for a mate has become blurred, confusing and instills a lack of confidence in a female. The precocious instigation of the Beauty Myth undertaken by men but calculatingly not clearly defined (Naomi Wolf) has left women attempting to attain not just the indescribable but the unattainable as beauty is left open for interpretation by the beholder (men).What has been the result?Financial contributions to cosmetic, diet and surgery have all seen a surge in willing captors, all seeking this beauty myth and all rather quite despondent when they realise that the goalposts keeps shifting. Cosmetic companies revel in ascribing what their latest product is and how wonderfully powerful some ingredient is, now contained in&nbsp;their&nbsp;product. I mean, who on earth really heard of&nbsp;Pentapeptide, let alone researched what it did before buying the product?Companies such as those in the cosmetic industry rely on the poor self-esteem of women to direct their products to. Women in return respond in an impassioned grab for the 'miracle' product that will stave off or at least slow down the ageing process. Women are made to feel that they no longer visually please and according to Wolf, companies can take steps in removing the female from her role in the workplace in favour of a younger model. Remember Miriam O'Reilly winning her claim against the BBC for what she alleges being dismissed on ageism and victimisation grounds? A second rate victory because she did not win on the grounds of sexism. What this tells me is what Wolf already identified in her book, that it is very difficult for a woman to claim against sex discrimination as the law fully supports what it calls a BFOQ (bone fide occupational qualification- USA) or the UK's version of GOQ (genuine occupational qualification- Wolf). What this means is that a company may dismiss a woman if&nbsp;they&nbsp;feel that she does not measure up to&nbsp;their&nbsp;ideology of beauty. Now remember, this level of beauty is not defined and what would this really say? As beauty is in the eye of the beholder (self) is it not?The tribunal for Miriam O'Reilly was held on the 4-19th November 2010, 19 years after Wolf's publication therefore women are still demonstrably being targeted and treated according to how they look and not what talents they may have in the workplace. So no real progress here then!Next time you go shopping, look out for the number of different beauty products. Be aware of the amount of time and energy that commercials use to sell you their copious amounts of products and the images they use. The use of anti-wrinkle creams on models probably not even yet 20 years old yet. Why on earth they need anti-wrinkle cream is beyond me. Next, these kinds of adverts will be shown using a 13 year old!Now look at grounded products such as lipsticks. Now you can get ones that last all day. In fact, you need another product to get the lipstick off because normal cleanser and water does not always work. Companies have to keep re-inventing the wheel to keep their profits up so their imagination runs riot and comes up with all sorts of products all doing the same thing but differently. Women fall for this; just take a look at her make up bag, products of the same but different thing, hardly used due to the copious amounts.What about products containing a certain ingredient that will 'benefit' perceived 'bags' under the eyes. Do you really think that by buying this product will alleviate 'baggy eyes'? Why should it, because if it did then you would have to stop buying the product once you have been cured? So companies use only enough to make a slight difference and you have to keep re-buying to secure better results. I imagine companies laughing at women as they stand far at the side of the room throwing in the magic ingredient (that is to say how offensively low the ingredient is in terms of weight and productivity). Now, I am not saying that a particular ingredient does not work, for example caffeine. However, following your lovely cup of tea, you could quite easily reconstitute the teabag and put this on your eyes. Probably has more caffeine in the teabag than in the expensive product you buy.Let us look at how other companies have cashed in on the creation of poor self-esteem in women. An ostentatious amount of money is spent by females on diet products in the hope that the 'extra' pounds they think they are carrying will disappear leaving the female with a sense of acceptance and perceived beauty. The sugars used in many foods are replaced with a substitute that is less calorific. To me, this is just a lot of useless chemicals being pumped in the body and for no real gain. Processed sugars are not good for anyone in huge amounts and a wise thing for health purposes would be to reduce your intake not substitute this with something that requires the body to work harder to break it down if it is able to use at all.For research purposes, I typed in 'what effect does artificial sugars have on the body?'&nbsp;and I did not have to look far to clearly see the dangers of artificial sweeteners. According to author Marcelle Pick, (Obstetrician and Gynecologist) she speaks openly about being properly informed of possible side effects of sweeteners. I will not mention the company as I do not wish to give them any form of exposure but you can do your own research. This particular name brand is the trade name for Sucralose;&nbsp;a synthetic compound stumbled upon in 1976 by scientists in Britain seeking a new pesticide formation.&nbsp;(Marcelle Pick) What this company did was twist the sugar component of their product by citing the 'natural sugar' aspect. Yet more importantly, did you catch the word&nbsp;'pesticide?'Now we go onto cosmetic surgery. This phenomenon has increased tenfold since the 1970's. Now you can book a botox in your lunch hour and be back to work. The lackadaisical procedure should be seen as worrying and not that companies are seeking to make life easier for women to attain this face stiffening procedure. Remember the poor actress infamously known for her 'trout pout?' I will leave this here to save her blushes! The point I am making is some of these procedures are downright dangerous yet women are still clambering to risk life or limb.We do not have to search our brains too hard to recall some other poor soul who underwent breast surgery to enlarge her already natural assets and perceptually ended up looking misplaced. The female body is perfect as it stands and whilst some females may have to undergo a surgical procedure on medical grounds, this should not be confused with the female body, being nature at its finest.Women are undergoing all sorts of procedures in an attempt to gain the unattainable body. Bum enhancements, face lifts, eye lifts, neck lifts (anything that is deemed lift-up-able), nose adjustments, liposuction on any part of the body and do not get me started with lace fronted weaves or extensions. The woman spends a great deal of time and money on products and services to achieve the ideology of beauty and remember this perceived beauty is undefined. So what this means, is they end up chasing a mirage that disintegrates the moment they think that they are now acceptable. This results in a cyclical pattern in women dabbling in metamorphosis, re-inventing something else to feed that ever-growing pit in lost souls leading to other behavioural and emotional difficulties.If you look at the objective of The Beauty Myth, the power is monumental and the devastation that this myth leaves behind is great news for those instigating this concept for nothing more than mind-control over women. This concept reminds me of the Lynch (Willie Lynch) method; create a divide and rule mask, in this case, in women.</div><div id="article-resource" style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">My name is Marcea Hibbert-Roye, qualified Social Worker and Life Coach.
