Cognitive dissonance refers to a situation involving conflicting attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors. This produces a feeling of mental discomfort leading to an alteration in one of the attitudes, beliefs or behaviors to reduce the discomfort and restore balance (McLeod, 2018), the example of I’m an animal lover but I eat meat was very interesting to me since i do love animals and i had dogs all my live, I will analyze my point of view in the matter, lets start will the ending the winning side in my case is eating meat, now let’s go through my thinking process, since little I have been doing sports because I like them specifically gymnastics, in Cuba I attended sports schools that had their own nutritionist making sure we were eating a healthy diet not only my sport but every other sport like boxing, baseball, basketball and many more, each sport require a different diet specifically for that sport and on top of that each athlete need it its own diet plan to help them excel in that sport, we had many different diets but one of the same constant we had no matter the sport or the person was meat, and if you want to do any research on Cuba about meat you will find that in Cuba the government controls the meat like its there god, a family of four may get two pounds of chicken for the whole month of two pounds of fish including head and tail, so if a country that barely gives meat to its people because they control it like crazy gives athletics meat every day then I believe that reinforces the importance meat represent to us, plus Cuban government has tried to find every way possible to substitute meat for its people and has not yet been successful. Another reason I have is animals eat each other if you change the roles for example give a lion all the meat it could eat and when is full then place a person twenty feet from them lets see if they don’t try to kill it, while on the other side you can say you are invading its space if the person is going away from it, it should not try to kill you but in reality, it will or when people are swimming at the beach and a shark comes to try and eat you. The last reason and the strongest reason in my mind when the question is asked if you are an animal lover why do you eat meat? Since to eat meat you killing an animal, then let me ask one back when you eat plan didn’t someone kill the plant you are eating? Plants are living beings just because we don’t hear the scream or the tears does not mean is not happening how can they be 100% sure that plants don’t suffer. In conclusion, while I do understand that is hard for people to understand how I can love animals but at the same time eat them, they can not prove that plants are any different from animals, and if I wanted to go into more details I would ask if there is anything we can eat that is not alive at one point cause that is impossible because even if you give examples like milk or cheese guess what they have bacteria in them which are living organisms we kill when we eat those products.

Original Question: DO NOT ANSWER: After reviewing the assigned materials, choose one health related behavior that you personally have conflicting feelings about. Explore each side of the conflict, the side that typically ‘wins’ and how/why you justify to yourself to go with that side.

In Here’s Why Salads Feel Feminine and Nachos Seem Manly, does Tanya Basu present enough evidence to prove this statement? Explain why or why not. Why should we stop focusing on gender in a time of transgender, nonagenarian, and gender fluid people?
I chose this article for a couple reasons: First, I’m a trans man and the conversation about inclusivity, visibility and representation in advertising is important to me (even if it means they’ll get more of my money!). Second, I love thinking about the unconscious patterns that drive human behavior.
While Tanya Basu’s Here’s Why Salads Feel Feminine and Nachos Seem Manly is a fascinating read, I don’t think she presented enough evidence to prove this statement. In this class, I’ve learned that the key to writing a compelling and well-researched argument piece is, well, research. The study Basu cites is convincing, but it’s one study. She references that there’s more to support the theory by saying, “study after study has shown that sociocultural influences affect food choices between men and women” (Basu, 2015), but are we supposed to just take her word for it? One must assume that their readers are critical thinkers and factfinders, else be accused of bias, lazy investigating, or pandering. If Tanya Basu wrote this piece for our class, I think Dr. Trish would ding her for not citing enough sources to support her argument and for not providing at least one source presenting an opposing view.
For the record, I do believe that gendered marketing is effective insofar as it plays into subconscious gender stereotypes that we’re all primed to accept. The concepts of “male” and “female” characteristics are so deeply embedded in our brains that it affects what we buy and how we respond to what we buy. To clarify, I don’t mean we’re born with boy brains or girl brains, but rather that we’re conditioned over time to believe that we possess one or the other.
The debate over biological gender versus socialized gender is ongoing, but I feel strongly that we can nurture ourselves away from such minimizing stereotypes. Advertisers have been successful using gender targeted ads in the past, but I don’t think they’ll get away with it in the future. Increasingly, millennials and Gen Z’ers are identifying as trans and non-binary. Folks want to be respected for who they are in society, and that includes wanting to see themselves represented in brands and marketing. The cultural shift away from the gender binary is not only happening among trans and non-binary folks – female and male identified folks won’t continue to accept old-fashioned stereotypes, either. I can’t see future generations of Female-identified people supporting brands that only push them pink razors and household cleaning products, nor can I see future generations of male-identified folks buying products that capitalize off preserving toxic masculinity. Furthermore, many families now are raising their kids outside of rigid gender roles. They won’t buy from companies that tell their kids trucks are only for boys and dolls are only for girls.
I can’t predict whether brands will embrace the cultural and ideological shifts happening in society on a core-level, but I can predict that they’ll want to keep making money. Savvy consumers want to align themselves with brands that show an understanding of modern values. That means shedding gender-based approaches and embracing gender-inclusivity and diversity in marketing. The future of advertising is non-binary because future generations will be.

Overview
Organizations must manage their working capital management to meet their short-term obligations. It’s important to consider working capital problems such as excess credit or a low cash balance. This is especially important when you propose new projects or investments. A business can get a competitive advantage in the marketplace if they manage these issues early.
Directions
Look at the business you selected for Project Two and the financial statements for the most recent fiscal quarter. Complete the calculations for determining working capital. Then tell how the financial statements help determine financial health.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Financial Statements: Explain the various financial statements needed to calculate a business’s working capital. Also explain how to use each financial statement for the calculation. Give examples to support your claims.
Working Capital’s Role: Discuss how businesses that manage their working capital well stay healthy.
Working Capital Interpretation: Use the correct formula to calculate working capital. Then discuss the business’s current financial liquidity position.
For example, does the business have enough working capital ready to address bills to suppliers? Will there be potential cash inflow at the end of the year?
Working Capital Management Trend: Discuss the business’s trend in how they manage their working capital.
Remember that financial statements reflect a specific period of time and the value of the business’s working capital during that period. Use Mergent Online to find financial statements for earlier periods. This will give you a better sense of the business’s trend.
