Womens Role in Society in Pride and Prejudice, by Jane...

Over the centuries, women’s duties or roles in the home and in the work force have arguably changed for the better. In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen teaches the reader about reputation and loves in the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries by showing how Elizabeth shows up in a muddy dress, declines a marriage proposal and how women have changed over time. Anything a woman does is reflected on her future and how other people look at her. When Elizabeth shows up to the Bingley’s in a muddy dress they categorize her as being low class and unfashionable. Charles Bingley, a rich attractive man, and his sister had a reputation to protect by not letting their brother marry a ‘low class girl’.

Mrs. Bennet say to her husband Mr. Bennet, who usually ignored her, â€Å"It is truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be want for a wife† (Austen 1-2) A rich man did not need a wife as much as a woman needed a man. A rich single good looking man, like most of the bachelors in the novel, was every girls dream; a girl’s father could only introduce his daughter to a man. In the novel Mrs. Bennet begs her husband to introduce their girls to Charles Bingley, even though Mr. Bennet already met up with Mr. Bingley and already had plans for him to meet his daughters. A girl or mother were not allowed to introduce themselves to a man, when Mrs. Bennet says to her husband â€Å"It will be no use to us, if twenty such come, since you will not visit them† (Austen 32) Only being able to meet someone through a father’s approval and introducing of his daughters shows how powerless women were in the fact they could not make their own decisions. At the t own ball the Bingley’s and Mr. Darcy arrive late but almost instantly noticed by every family, with a daughter, in the room.

The Right to Fight Achieving Gender Equality on the Battlefield Essay

Abstract: Warfare has for centuries been the sole province of men, providing a rite of passage for male-dominated societies the world over.   The notion that women can function as soldiers – and that fighting units can function with women – is a new one, but there is ample evidence to show that women belong in combat and that the team concept that is so important to a fighting unit is not threatened by gender integration. The Right to Fight: Achieving Gender Equality on the Battlefield Warfare has always been, with only very limited exceptions, the work of men.   No modern society relies, and virtually no premodern society relied, on women as combat soldiers. – Kingsley Browne. Since Homer’s time, warfare has been the definitive male rite of passage.   It is so inextricably linked to the essence of what it means to be a man in Western society that nothing is comparable.   Symbols can be powerful cultural markers, and the spear of Ares and the mirror of Aphrodite are still profoundly important tokens of gender identity.   That identity means that women behave according to their feminine nature, and men act based on their masculine impulses.   In America, sports reinforce the same basic message that many primitive societies imparted to their young men: a male could not claim status as a man until he had distinguished himself in battle (Browne, 2007). Today, women have achieved equality in many fields of endeavor that once were the sole province of men.   The most notable among these is warfare.   Women advanced into battle, shoulder-to-shoulder with their male compatriots, risking death and dismemberment in Iraq, Afghanistan and other hot spots.   Men and women have not changed significantly, at least not physically.   Yet technology has had a profound impact on the nature of combat.   High-tech weaponry, and a higher-than-ever degree of specialization in modern armed forces have made it possible, even desirable, for women to contribute on the battlefield and behind the scenes.   More importantly, these new opportunities have made it possible for women to show what they can do in the line of fire.   The result of all this is that women are integral to America’s armed forces, a situation that would have been inconceivable just a few decades ago. In Co-ed Combat: The New Evidence that Women Shouldn’t Fight the Nation’s Wars, Kinsgley Browne argues that the secret to esprits de corps, that â€Å"x factor† that determines how well soldiers fight as a unit, is good, old-fashioned male bonding.   Soldiers who are under fire risk their lives together, which creates a special psychological link that is uniquely male.   â€Å"A striking feature of men’s wartime memoirs is the deep emotional connection they display toward their comrades, a connection often compared favorably in strength to the male-female bond† (Browne, 2007).   This is an ancient tradition, one that characterized the Greek hoplite units that marched in lock-step, one soldier protecting with his shield the exposed flank of the infantryman next to him.   Of course, the â€Å"male-female bond† had a meaning of its own within the Greek fighting units where homosexuality was considered beneficial in the sense that it stre ngthened the bond between soldiers. Other observers take a different view of the bonding factor.   One school of thought asserts that the kind of inter-personal relationships implied in male bonding are actually counter-productive from a military standpoint.   The â€Å"team† concept that military organizations seek to inculcate are businesslike in nature.   Instead, it is argued that â€Å"task-bonding† is the ideal for which the military strives because it fosters relationships within the context of teamwork (Fenner and DeYoung, 2001).   Within this definition, women not only have a place but may be necessary in that the team requires multiple talents and characteristics to reach its full functional potential.   â€Å"To be successful, the sum of their efforts must be greater than their individual efforts.   Team members should not all be the same size and have the same skills if the team is to be successful† (Ibid). Thus, the old notion that male bonding is essential to the functioning of a fighting unit breaks down according to a more modern definition of â€Å"team.†Ã‚   This is also true in team sports, which have for decades been integrated.   Women take part in team sports at the high school and college levels at a higher rate than ever before.   (Watching the U.S. women’s soccer team compete in the World Cup, it is hard to believe that anyone could harbor skepticism about women forming tight bonds in a competitive environment.)   Today, women are professional soccer and basketball players.   Not only are females capable of competing at a remarkably high level, they are capable of competing alongside men.   In this, we can see that bonding does not necessarily have to break down along gender lines, that there is not necessarily an overwhelming sexual polarity at work in the team dynamic (Fenner and DeYoung, 2001). Of course, the most important examples are to be found within the military itself.   There are numerous examples of men and women bonding as combat colleagues capable of collaborating strictly as soldiers for the greater good of unit and country.   In fact, studies have shown that the more stressful the situation, the more successfully men and women come together as soldiers† (Ibid).   A study of male and female students at the U.S. Air Force Academy revealed that students form relationships that are well worth maintaining once they enter the service.   â€Å"These young men and women bond so strongly†¦that their leaders know it will be problematic if they cannot transfer primary loyalty to the larger institution and the military mission in general to uphold the Constitution† (Ibid). So much for male female friendships in school and training but what happens when men and women come together in the most critical combat situations?   Can men function without feeling as though they need to protect women in their command, and doesn’t that dynamic threaten the safety of all concerned?   According to many military experts, the presence of women in a combat unit makes no appreciable difference.   â€Å"The general concept of women in the infantry is that the squad bonds,† said Army Major Mary Finch. â€Å"If women train with their units, the members will know she can and will do her job†¦The guys will accommodate her† (Skaine, 1999).   Others say the nature of modern warfare and the weapons used to prosecute it effectively takes gender out of the equation.   High-tech artillery and highly accurate surface-to-surface missiles make men and women soldiers equally vulnerable and indiscriminate targets (Ibid). For others, it’s a simple matter of motivation.   Women who are inspired to fight for their country do so for the same reason as men and should be respected for their choice.   Young women want to go to college, learn job skills and accrue benefits just as young men do and are willing to do their hitch and assume the same risks.   They also pay the same price when things don’t go as planned.   When SPC Christine Mayes was killed, her fiancà ©e commented that her situation was no more or less remarkable than any other soldier, and that her gender had nothing to do with it.   When it came down to it, she was a soldier killed in action in the Gulf War.   â€Å"She didn’t really want to be over there any more than the rest of them, but that’s what she got paid for; that’s what she did† (Ibid.)   Nevertheless, it’s still difficult for many not to distinguish between men and women soldiers when it comes to battlefield casualti es. Operation Desert Shield/Sword marked a kind of turning point for women in combat.   Officially speaking, women did not serve in â€Å"combat† positions, though there were women casualties.   The media has been, in general, remarkably slow to express widespread support for women in combat, reflecting what may be called the general opinion of the public at large.   Part of the struggle, admittedly, has been the media’s reticence when it comes to overlooking the image of women as wives/mothers/caregivers.   As recently as the Gulf War the press was guilty of this kind of objectivization, categorizing women who sincerely desired to serve alongside men.   Images in the media at the time showed â€Å"these battle-dressed ‘mommies’ tearfully hugging their babies good-bye, sensationalized sexual activities between men and women in the field, and exaggerated pregnancy rates among deployed servicewomen† (Simon, 2001).   At best, they were labeled à ¢â‚¬Å"damagers of readiness;† at worst â€Å"sexual distractions† (Ibid). This unfortunate state of affairs has its roots firmly in the 20th century.   Women have been present in combat situations for centuries, but World War II brought them into contact with life-threatening situations at an unprecedented level.   More than 400 American women died in circumstances termed â€Å"non-combat,† and women made contributions on many levels other than nursing or logistical support.   Women served as interpreters, interrogators and as intelligence operatives, often in life-threatening situations.   Nevertheless, after the war men remained steadfastly against, even hostile toward, the very suggestion that women might be assets in combat situations.   Women who served with distinction in the Pacific were denied medals because it angered men.   They were called â€Å"whores† or â€Å"lesbians† (Skaine, 1999). Events from recent years cannot be said to have helped the situation.   The Tailhook incident from 1991 probably set the cause of women in the military back 10 years.   Well-publicized attempts to integrate women in venerable all-male military institutions, such as VMI and The Citadel, were horrific examples of gender discrimination, yet reinforced among many the feeling that women don’t belong in traditional male military roles.   If females couldn’t handle the hazing or the rigorous male code at The Citadel, the thinking went, how could they be expected to hold up under actual fire?   Operation Desert Shield/Storm helped change the paradigm, though even at that the military establishment resisted U.S. Rep. Pat Schroeder’s recommendation that some women be assigned to combat situations.   Schroeder’s ideas were turned down, with policy setters insisting that the military was no place to conduct a â€Å"social experiment† and certainly not in life-and-death combat scenarios (Skaine, 1999). Integration has, of course, become a fact of life but it can’t be considered a â€Å"slam dunk.†Ã‚   In spite of the advantages to be derived from women serving in the military, it still represents a major change in the military’s modus operandi, and a fundamental change in philosophy.   Statistics bear out the fact that it has been anything but a seamless transition.   Since gender integration, attrition rates for first-term Army soldiers have reached record highs (Simon, p. 137).   Attrition sat at about 20 percent in the early1990s; after integration, that figure reached 37 percent in 1996 and was flirting with 50 percent by the year 2000 (Ibid).   â€Å"In the Army, overwhelming data on attrition rates refutes the conclusions of soldier surveys that suggest gender integration is a military success. (Ibid).   Other symptoms include domestic violence and sexual imposition, though these have not amounted to chronic problems. In many ways, the military mirrors the customs and prejudices of the society from which it is drawn.   As such, it is not surprising that there should be difficulties creating a gender-integrated fighting force that protects a country that harbors gender-sensitive perspectives in so many walks of life.   As long as it’s taken to bring gender equality to America’s military, the most constructive view may be that it has happened at all.   Civil rights weren’t a reality for African-Americans until more than a century after the Civil War, but it did finally come about.   Winston Churchill once said that Americans always do the right thing after exhausting every other possible alternative.   One may say that women were given the opportunity to show what they can do in combat only after nearly every excuse for not including them was proposed.   If that is the case, then justice was served when women were given the right to serve.

Has the president lost the sense that enables him to differ the right from the wrong?

The operation has led to deaths of at least 7,000 Filipinos, mostly urban poor, as of January 31 this year, according to the revised PNP data. Roughly 3,000 of the killings have been attributed, based on the same figures issued, to the PNP.

The Historical and Colonial Context of Brian Friel’s...

The Historical and Colonial Context of Brian Friel’s Translations Regarded by many as Brian Friel’s theatrical masterpiece, Seamus Deane described Translations as â€Å"a sequence of events in history which are transformed by his writing into a parable of events in the present day† (Introduction 22). The play was first produced in Derry in 1980. It was the first production by Field Day, a cultural arts group founded by Friel and the actor Stephen Rea, and associated with Deane, Seamus Heaney and Tom Paulin. As Deane asserts, the play is in many respects an intelligent and enlightening metaphor for the situation in Northern Ireland. The aims of raising cultural awareness and dispelling socio-political apathy in the North were central to†¦show more content†¦This culminated in the Rebellion of 1798, lead by Wolfe Tone and the Society of United Irishmen, in which Hugh and Jimmy participated: â€Å"The road to Sligo. A spring morning. 1798. Going into battle† (445). But, as these characters soon discovered, the rebellion failed resulting in large executions and the passing of the Act of Union in 1800. This piece of legislation, effective from 1 January 1801, brought Ireland under the direct rule of the British Crown. 1823 saw the rise of Daniel O’Connell (the only real person mentioned in the play), a disillusioned veteran of 1798 who founded the Catholic Association. O’Connell campaigned for better civil rights and social conditions for the Irish people, hence Maire reporting that he said â€Å"We should all be learning to speak English† (399). O’Connell believed that it was necessary to use the English language in order to allow Ireland to progress in a quickly modernising Western world. In 1829, due to his efforts in Parliament, the Catholic Emancipation Act came into force overturning the penal laws. It was at this juncture, when the play takes place, that Britain began to make deeper inroads to Irish society and culture. An attempt to colonise the mind and the people as opposed to conquering land through brute force. Translations is Friel’s vehicle for representing methods central to the colonial discourse of Imperialist aspirations. In the foreground of the play

Relativity Theory Essay Example For Students

Relativity Theory Essay The theory of relativity was introduced by Albert Einstein around the earlynineteen hundereds. It is a theory which enables the human mind to understandthe possible actions of the universe. The theory is divided into two parts, thespecial, and the general. In each part, there is a certain limit to which itexplains and helps to comprehend. In the special, Einstein explains ways ofunderstanding the atom and other small objects, while the general is designedfor the study of large objects, such as planets. The theory of relativity havingbeing created, succeeded the two hundred year old mechanics of Isaac Newton,thus showing Einstein as more of a futuristic thinker and adapter. Einsteinintroduced the concept of Relativity, which means that there is no absolutemotion in the universe. Einstein showed that humans are not in a flat, absolutetime of everyday experience, but in a curved space-time. Take for example theEarth as a whole. The earth has a circumference of around twenty five thousan dmiles, and it can be covered within a twenty-four hour time frame. Having thiscompletion of distance covered within the set amount of time, shows that theEarth rotates a little over one-thousand miles per hour. it can be assumed thatsomething in the solar system is not moving, and we can measure how fast theearth is moving by relative to the object. However, no matter what object ischosen, it is moving as well, thus showing that nothing is fixed and thateverything is moving, and it is unknown how fast or in what direction. TheTheory of Relativity is a theory compressing mechanics, gravitation, andspace-time. Having known this, it is seen so that all things are related, butcan not be thought of as individual. The Theory of Relativity is known forhaving two parts to it. The first part is the special relativity; the other isthe general relativity. Special relativity is known for its publication in1906; it is used for microscopic physics, such as atoms and small objects. Theother type of relativity, the general, is known for its publication in 1916,well after the birth of its counterpart. The general half of the theory isintended for astrophysics and cosmology, such as solar systems, planets, andlarge objects. A British Astronomer named Sir Arthur Eddington, was one of thefirst to fully understand the Theory of Relativity. A little humor about hisintelligence can be seen to when he was asked about there being three people whounderstood the Theory of Relativity, his response was who is the third?The discovery of Quasars, the 3 kelvin microwave background radiation, pulsars,and possibly blackholes were studied with to see the accuracy of the Theory ofRelativity with gravity. This led the development of the space program,telescopes, computers, etcto make better calculations of the accuracy of thetheory. The Theory of Relativity has two main parts, the special and thegeneral. The internal part of the special theory is in reference to any region,such as a free falling laboratory, in which objects move in straight lines andhave uniform velocities. In the lab, nothing would appear to be moving ifeverything in the lab was falling, the movement of the lab is relevant to theperson that is in the lab. The principle of relativity theorizes thatexperiments in an internal frame, is independent from uniform velocity of theframe. An example of this is the speed of light. The speed of light within theinternal frame is the same for all, regardless of the speed of the observer. Twoevents that are simultaneos in one frame, may not be simultaneos when viewedfrom a frame moving relative to the first one. Movement looks differentdepending on where the observer is located, how fast it is moving, and in whatdirection. An interesting fact about the special relativity, is that themechanical foundations of special relativity were researched in 1908 by a germanmathmetician named, Hermann Minkowski. Minkowski ler einstein to postulate thevanishing of gravity in free fal l. In any free fall, laws of physics should takeon special relitavistic forms, this is what led to the EEP(Eisteins EquivalencePrinciple.) A consequence of EEP is that the space time must be curved. It istechinical, consider two frames falling freely, but on opposite sides of theEarth. According to Minkowski, spare time is valid locally in each frame, butsince the frames are accelerating towards each other, the two Minkowskispace-times can not be extended untill they meet. Therefor, with gravity, spacetime is not flat locally, but spaced globally. Any theory of gravity thatfulfills EEP, is called a metric theory. Along with the special side of thetheory, is the genral side of it. The principle to show space-time curved bypresence of matter. To determine curvature, requires a specific metric theory ofgravity, such as general relativity. Einsteins aim was to find the simplistequations, he found a set of 10. To test the general theory Einstein performedthree tests. Gravitational red sh ift, light deflection, and perihelion shift ofmercury. To test light deflection, Einstein used the curve space-time of the sunlight; it shoul be deflected 1.75 seconds of arc if it glazes the solar surface. .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7 , .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7 .postImageUrl , .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7 , .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7:hover , .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7:visited , .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7:active { border:0!important; } .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7:active , .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7 .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u7e43df9b563a868d19959d9f0b3f7dd7:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Authorship Theory Essay The concept of gravitational lenses is based on the already discussed and provenrelativistic prediction that when light from a celestial object passes near amassive body such as a star, its path is deflected. The amount of deflectiondepends on the massiveness of the intervening body. From this came the notionthat very massive celestial objects such as galaxies could act as the equivalentof crude optical lenses for light coming from still more distant objects beyondthem. An actual gravitational lens was first identified in 1979. Another of theearly successes of general relativity was its ability to account for the puzzleof Mercurys orbit. After the perturbing effects of the other planets onMercurys orbit were taken into account, an unexplained shift remained in thedirection of its perihelion (point of closest approach to the Sun) of 43 secondsof arc per century; the shift had confounded astronomers of the late 19thcentury. General relativity explained it as a natural effect of the mot ion ofMercury in the curved space-time around the Sun. Recent radar measurements ofMercurys motion have confirmed this agreement to about half of 1 percent. Oneof the remarkable properties of general relativity is that it satisfies EEP forall types of bodies. If the Nordtvedt effect were to occur, then the Earth andMoon would be attracted by the Sun with slightly different accelerations,resulting in a small perturbation in the lunar orbit that could be detected bylunar laser ranging, a technique of measuring the distance to the Moon usinglaser pulses reflected from arrays of mirrors deposited there by Apolloastronauts. One of the first astronomical applications of general relativity wasin the area of cosmology. The theory predicts that the universe could beexpanding from an initially condensed state, a process known as the big bang. For a number of years the big bang theory was contested by an alternative knownas the steady state theory, based on the concept of the continuous creation ofmatter throughout the universe. Later knowledge gained about the universe,however, has strongly supported the big bang theory as against its competitors. Such findings either were predicted by or did not conflict with relativitytheory, thus also further supporting the theory. Perhaps the most critical pieceof evidence was the discovery, in 1965, of what is called background radiation. This sea of electromagnetic radiation fills the universe at atemperature of about 2.7 K (2.7 degrees C above absolute zero). Backgroundradiation had been proposed by general relativity as the remaining trace of anearly, hot phase of the universe following the big bang. The observed cosmicabundance of helium (20 to 30 percent by weight) is also a required result ofthe big-bang conditions predicted by relativity theory. In addition, generalrelativity has suggested various kinds of celestial phenomena that could exist,including neutron stars, black holes, gravitational lenses, and gravitationalwaves. According to relativistic theory, neutron stars would be small butextremely dense stellar bodies. A neutron star with a mass equal to that of theSun, for example, would have a radius of only 10 km (6 mi). Stars of this naturehave been so compressed by gravitational forces that their density is comparableto densities within the nuclei of atoms, and they are composed primarily ofneutrons. Suc h stars are thought to occur as a by-product of violent celestialevents such as supernovae and other gravitational implosions of stars. Sinceneutron stars were first proposed in the 1930s, numerous celestial objects thatexhibit characteristics of this sort have been identified. In 1967 the first ofmany objects now called pulsars was also detected. These stars, which emit rapidregular pulses of radiation, are now taken to be rapidly spinning neutron stars,with the pulse period represent the period of rotation. Black holes are amongthe most exotic of the predictions of general relativity, although the conceptitself dates from long before the 20th century. These theorized objects arecelestial bodies with so strong a gravitational field that no particles orradiation can escape from them, not even lighthence the name. Black holes mostlikely would be produced by the implosions of extremely massive stars, and theycould continue to grow as other material entered their field of attraction. S ometheorists have speculated that supermassive black holes may exist at the centersof some clusters of stars and of some galaxies, including our own. While theexistence of such black holes has not been proven beyond all doubt, evidence fortheir presence at a number of known sites is very strong. in conclusion,relativity is a way of looking at things, keeping in mind that everything ismoving, and that we really have no way of know just how fast. This theory, alongwith complex equations developed many years ago, helped to explain certain longmisunderstood things about planets and their movements. But the same thinkingabout very large objects, in motion, like stars, planets, solar sysems, simplydoes not work accurately when you look at microscopic things, like atoms. Too,since the development of the theory of relativity, we have made manytechnological advances that have allowed us to make accurate measurements, andto basically confirm the theory is correct.

Developing e-commerce marketing capability - Myassignmenthelp.Com

Question: Discuss about the Developing e-commerce marketing capability. Answer: Description This report discusses about the construction of an online website, which is centered towards the selling of books. These books include four categories, which are thriller/mystery, fiction, text and university books. These books will be presented in the website where users will be able to buy the products based on their requirements (Turban et al., 2017). These books will be the sole product of the website where revenue earned from them will be the sole responses of business. In addition, this website will also consist of various other links, which will be used to show a full page showing the characteristics of the product. This means that when a user clicks on the link of a particular book, they will be taken to another link, which will show the full description of the product. Potential customers The business involves selling books to the customers by means of online website e-commerce store. The potential customers of the online store involve the population of Queensland. Along with this another set of customers are the students of the university located in that area. These are the potential customers which will be considered while opting for advertisement and marketing. Moreover, the advertising will be considered to show the products in front of specific age groups. Aims The main aim of this online business involves providing help to the students of the university. As students need to go the library of the university each time to access the books, it consumes time every time this occurs. This makes it a necessity to consider the development of an online solution, which will enable the students to request for the books from the website. The students will also be able to take the books on trial based on a week period. After that they will be charged as per the rules of the library set in the university. Objectives Online sales- As the payment option will include debit or credit cards and even cash on delivery method age group targeting is required to address them in advertisements. This does not involve kids or teenagers, as they will not be able to buy the products. Online marketing- The methods of online marketing will involve using the social media and organic traffic generation. This will be done by using SEO tools, which will be utilized, by using blogging as a method. In addition, the use of advertising in social media networks like facebook and Instagram will be adopted (Gregory, Ngo Karavdic, 2017). Influencer marketing will also be used to target the age groups required. Organic traffic will be utilized by using Google search ads and Bing ads. Moreover, small flyers will be made that will be distributed in the streets for creating awareness. Customer centric designs- The website will be more on users. This will be done by creating a responsive site. Moreover, the interface of the website will also be made to be user-friendly to grab the attention of the users (Kim Peterson, 2017). Trust creation- Along with this, the product page will also show the number of user reviews that has been given to the product so that a better impression is made in front of the customers. Other objectives- The security protocols will be undertaken by implementing the SSL protocol. Hence, the security implications will be reduced and the website will be able to function properly (Turban et al. 2017). Moreover, the presence of a backend process will also be present which will be used to capture the user information. SWOT Analysis SWOT analysis is the method of analyzing the factors of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for the website development of online bookstore for Queensland University (Bohari, Hin Fuad, 2017). The Swot Analysis is shown in the following table, Strengths Use of technical and technological tools for the deployment of the improved website development Implication of the advanced operations with the help of program management Weaknesses Absence of previous experience had resulted in exhausting more time for complete website development Dependency of the technology have limited the occurrence of the scope development Opportunities Global expansion of the online book access from the Queensland mobile website Alignment of the successive SDLC methods the website development Threats Technical issues in website development might result in causing the failure of the website Loss of database is another major setback for the complete project development Risk Analysis The risk analysis for developing a website for the online book store for Queensland University is a document that provides an analysis of the probable risk factors that may or may not have direct impact on the operations of the website development (Ervural et al., 2017). The probable risk factors for the project and their assessment has been done in the table below, Risk Description Risk Analysis Control Strategy Risk Name Risk Description Probability Severity Rating Current Control(s) Control Rating out of 5 Slackness in custom coding The slackness in custom coding would be resulted due to the inappropriate coding methods. The issues in the deployment of the appropriate coding would form the impact on the program development for the website. Possible Major High Skilled Coder should be employed for overcoming the possibility of slackness of coding 3 Scope Creep Scope creep generally occurs when there is some difference between the existing and the desired project scope. The analysis of the scope is a must factor as the deployment of the website would be subjected to the requirements and expectations of the clients and users. Unlikely Moderate Low Scope Management Plan would be helpful for dealing with scope creep 4 Delay issues The delay in project activities would be subjected to the various issues and the complexities of the technical requirements. The website development would require a step by step method for the alignment of the website function development and testing. Almost Certain Minor Medium Time Management Plan would result in the occurrence of the delay in the website development 4 Inadequate Resources The shortage of the resources is a crucial factor that can hamper the completion of the project activities. The shortage of the resources might occur due to the exhaustion of resources by the complex activities. Possible Major High Shortage of resources can be overcome by the deployment of the implication of the provisional resources 3 Issues in Data migration The issues in data integration would be resulted due to the probability of the data being platform development. The cross platform compatibility is the major issue in the deployment of the improved website functions and operations.

The use of these features helps in providing proper usability feature to the website. The value proposition model of is well defined in order to maintain a proper translated version of the website (Niu, Song Xiao, 2017). The website has been made customer centric that have helped in maintaining and providing the solutions to various problems of customers in the university. The target customers for the website are the student of Queensland University. The marketing strategy of the website has provided integrated solution to the issues created regarding the traffic generation in the website (Brindley, 2017). The use of the advanced technology for preparing the website have helped in maintaining feasibility for the students (Gill, Ricciardi, James, 2017). The use of mobile technology and artificial intelligence have added a bonus to the feature of the website. The use of ASP.NET and C# language have helped in providing a proper approach to the completion of website. The solutions have been provided to add an extra feature to the website in order to make it customer centric (Mohezar et al., 2017). The students can search and buy books of different categories from this online portal. This helps in preventing from going to library and manually search from thousands of books.
