Week 7: The Pitch

Alright well at this point I see two options staring me in the face.

Option 1: Go with the final project everyone else is doing and come up with a brand new beer and establish it globally. What I am turning in my head is that I am firstly technically not even of age to drink beer. And technically speaking I absolutely hate every aspect of beer. The taste, the smell, and even the effects are what I just care nothing for. I am at a disadvantage but will not hesitate from the challenge.
This new beer i would want to establish is a new beer specifically for women. Not using women to sell it but sell it to them. The flavoring would definitely have to be something like raspberry or violets even, or might just be a combination of the two. Being a fashion major i realize where my target market would need to be is. This beer is going to be a luxurious experience, for women who could care less about the price, ans are mostly looking for something to complement their life.

Option 2: Lets remember that I am not of age and could care less for beer. From the moment i heard what kind of project we might have to be doing the ideas about the beauty and retail industry flooded my mind. What i would want is something new and edgy that appeals to all women who never dreamt of being the princess when we were growing up

EOC Week 5: Health Care Reform

• 85% of Americans of all races under the age of 65 are covered by some type of health insurance during the year of 2006.
• Nationally there are less than three thousand people of a certain age that will not be covered by some type of health insurance.

"Beginning on September 23, all insurance plans will be offering young adults up to age 26 options for being covered under their parents plan." (http://www.whitehouse.gov/healthreform)

While there might be many people that are currently covered by various forms of medical care there are just as many if not more people that go everyday without health insurance for some reason or other. I was one of the people whose health insurance was cut off at 18 and for some reason or other am not covered by other insurances. Most likely because of pre existing conditions.Should those people who can not afford health care go without it simply because they cant afford it or are currently unemployed by the downward spiral the economy fell into. No. I have gone without medical insurance.

These numbers seem to be esily pulled from any census available or generally a survey. Honestly, it seems that if that is the case it most certainly is not very reliable.
