Abstract
This essay will argue that the significance of the Bre-X story is that it displays the importance of promotion in any business enterprise. Bre-X officials played the Canadian media, and in particular the new electronic medium of the Internet, to promote their Indonesian gold find. An analysis of the Bre-X story will demonstrate that if the promotion is crafted to appeal to the desire of the media and the public for a particular narrative, in the short term few will look close at the details of the business plan and practices behind the promotion.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are many reasons for a company to initiate a Health Promotion Program. Among these reasons are keeping other medical and insurance costs low, but also competing in the global marketplace. The literature cites both of these reasons; it virtually ignores the possibility of altruism in the equation, that offering opportunities for employees to enhance their health at work is simply "the right thing to do." As long ago as 1990, The Futurist predicted that companies offering health programs for employees and their families would gain a competitive edge, as reported by the Washington Business Group. It was assumed that such programs would improve the health of current workers as well as attract higher-quality workers (Futurist, 1990, p. 48). The magazine's report also noted that it seemed sensible to do so on other grounds. For example, it noted that 40 to 60 percent of a company's health care costs were created by spouses and children of the employee. "

Abstract
In this article, the writer explores what a social promotion does and then discusses the controversy surrounding its use. A case study is also presented in which a counselor disagrees with the social promotion graduation plans for a high school student and suggests several alternatives. The writer concludes that social promotion has a place in today's school systems, however, the need for personal responsibility cannot be minimized either. The writer maintains that the ethics of social promotion must be carefully weighed in each case so that the student reaches the most appropriate decision while not being enabled to deflect personal responsibility for success or failure. Further, the writer notes that school guidance counselors must be prepared to argue their case against the unwarranted social promotion of a student, while at the same time be able to offer alternatives that can satisfy the district by maintaining an ethical standard of high quality.
Outline:
Introduction
Social Promotion Defined
Argument for Banning Social Promotion
History of Social Promotion
Ethical Dilemma
Case Study
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The practice of social promotion has been a debated topic in the field of education for many years. Those who agree with its use believe it allows a student to succeed who otherwise would have no hope of success, while those who are against its use believe it teaches students that they do not have to make an effort and they will be handed success anyway, which will harm them later in life.
School systems across the nation have been dismantling their social promotion policy over the past few years citing the fact that students need to be prepared for the real world and social promotion does not prepare them. In addition the systems dismantling their social promotion programs believe it is unfair to the students who work hard to fulfill the requirements to allow their peers to promote without the same success."

"Analysis of Interview Data Regarding the Connection of Health
and Health-Related Attitudes and Beliefs Toward Health Promoting Behaviors and Practices
Introduction
Health promotion consists of activities aimed at increasing the well-being of individuals, families and communities (Lancaster & Lancaster, 1992). Generally, hospitals and other community health care agencies and facilities offer a variety of health promotion programs (Lancaster & Lancaster, 1992). However, there exists a substantial body of theory and research supporting the notion that the extent to which people utilize these and other programs and services is strongly dependent upon their health beliefs (Hochbaum, 1958; Kegels, 1965; Rosenstock, 1974; Pender, 1987; Lancaster, 1992).

From the Paper
"There are concerns that schools are performing an injustice by passing students onto the next grade level although they fail the basic requirements for the current grade level. Underachieving middle school students are being promoted with little regard as to how it may impact their future success in education. It sets the precedence for some students who believe that they do not have to make any effort and they will still move to the next grade without suffering any consequences. This gives the message that accountability in middle schools is unimportant."

Abstract
The paper takes inspiration from the innovative and shrewd self promotional campaign of Donald Trump who chose the reality TV as his expression of self-promotion. This paper discusses the marketing and promotion of a new product. The writer's designer wear and fashion house emphasizes low budget, creative and innovative strategies of self-promotion and employs its mainstream finances on the product and diversity. This would, in the writer's opinion, yield far better results than high exhibition and hiking prices. The writer believes that the public is phenomenally influenced by innovative entertainment programs and industries with their own peculiar individuality. Therefore the writer intends to emphasize personal individuality at all costs.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Therefore there is a lot of room for innovation and creative thinking to completely curb the parasitical affects of seasonality in fashion market. Fashion in itself is broad avenue of inter related industry of glam, beautify, accessories, comfort and style. Therefore there are many related markets in the fashion industry and an entrepreneur can always expand their commodities, sometimes intimidating and sometimes complimenting other industries. Fashion industry has a considerably protracted life cycle; it has maximum sustainability and growth rate. Decline of such an ever evolving industry like fashion is hard to perceive. However, maturity which is an increased price competition is highly likely since new brands step in the emerging markets can maintain high profit margins. Fashion market can be colossally diversified and segmented into a vast range of foot wear, accessories, clothing, and cosmetics."

Health Promotion, 2007.

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines three different articles in order to discuss the issue of health promotion within nursing. Firstly the writer looks at "Does 'Health Promotion' Really Promote Health?" by Feinstein, Alvan. The writer then discusses "Diet and Diabetes--the New Recommendations" by Pam Dyson. Finally the writer examines the article "Noncompliance with Body Weight Measurement in Tertiary Care Teaching Hospitals" by Jensen, Gordon L. & Janet M. Friedman, Donna Henry K, Annalynn Skipper, et.al. The writer concludes that in all of these articles, health promotion is defined as enabling the individual to engage in more effective self-monitoring and self-care, not simply on a physical level, but on a psychological level, as away from the nurse's immediate supervision, the patient must continue to monitor his or her exercise, diet, and other aspects of health.
Outline:
Article 1: Primary
Article 2: Secondary
Article 3: Tertiary
Conclusion
From the Paper
"It is important to remember the role of weight loss in diabetes health promotion and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. A nurse must stress the need for caloric limitation, as well as merely monitoring blood sugar and consumption of high-sugar foods, as fat-dense, high calorie foods that contribute to obesity can be equally dangerous. This can be difficult when patients do not experience complications from their condition, but merely have diabetes as a silent presence in their lives. Nurses must provide support to making lifestyle changes, and accomodating cultural tastes and needs, as well understanding as psychological conflicts over conflicting media advice when ensuring that the secondary health promotion intervention is effective."

Abstract
This paper integrates the nurse's role as teacher and educator with the Health Promotion Model. The paper addresses such issues as the client's need for health promotion, the professional nurse's role in teaching and learning, perceived barriers of the Health Promotion Model, and the integration of the nurse's role and the Health Promotion Model.
From the Paper
"The role of the nurse is ever-evolving in today's health-care arena. Long seen as merely an assistant role, and one that did not necessitate responsibility, it has now become a role of being a teacher and educator. One of the main theories that is leading the way in health care today is that of the Health Promotion Model. This model envisions a way for those seeking health care to promote and better their own health and lifestyles. These two ideas, the nurse as teacher and the Health Promotion Model, converge."

Abstract
This paper explains the concept of health promotion, its objectives, how it can be implemented, and some of the drawbacks inherent in the concept itself and its implementation. The paper then focuses on the lack of success health promotion has had in treating communities with high rates of substance abuse and the reasons for this failure.
From the Paper
"The concept of Health Promotion suggests that if the necessary precautions are taken there can be a measure of control over health problems. The process of health promotion is embedded in the belief that through the increase in knowledge of the disease there can be an enhancement to the solution and thus, health services can help in 'reducing risk of ill-health through the overlapping spheres of health education, heath protection and disease prevention' (Tannahill 1985). The underlying theory to this process is that once the health services create a basis of understanding for the population effected by the problem they can help guide the population towards the control."
