Is a flash mob an effective form of advertising? 

I believe that flash mobs are an effective form of advertising for younger generations. Flash mobs are really entertaining but I think that older adults will watch for a few seconds and leave but teenagers are always intrigued about them. I would think flash mobs would be a long process to create an advertisement since you have to gather a group and learn and perfect a choreography which is time and money that a company can not waste. 

Role of Women in the workplace

I think it is great how the roles in families and the role of women are changing. Having 59% of women in the workforce is a dramatic increase from hundreds of years ago. Women are getting more experience in their field and it is changing the way women are judged in the world. Women have been challenged by inequality in the workforce ever since women started working. We are the primary caregivers for children, the elderly, and the sick, and this is a burden on those women who want to join the business field. Men have not made it easy on women. Women need to fight for freedom, equality, and to have a job.

Do you believe that the percent of women in the workforce will increase or decrease in the next couple of years? Why?
