Fiat is one of the leading automobile manufacturers in Europe, though it is not the largest one. Nevertheless, the company has a very strong position in Italian market as well as in Europe and other parts of the world.

In such a situation, the development of a new, effective marketing strategy and future policy of the company is needed to improve its current position in the market. In such a context, the shift upmarketed is considered as one of possible solutions of the current problems of the company, though the effectiveness of such a strategy is uncertain.

Design
The UCLA website, www.ucla.edu, has quite a good website. In fact, the design is not overwhelmed with unnecessary elements. Instead, the creators of the website attempted to provide users with all essential information and present it in a brief form. In such a way, users do not need to waste much time on surfing looking for a piece of information they need. At the same time, the website is executed in cold colors, which increase the impression that users are viewing a respectable website. In fact, the choice of color is quite good for an official website. Although the website is not really eye-catching, but it is normal for an ordinary website.
In order to increase the vividness of the website’s design, its creators attempted to add visual means, such as photos and pictures. These elements make website more attracting and closer to users. In addition, the visualization is quite moderate and does not distract from the main message of the website and main pieces of information and links placed on the main page of the website. Moreover, the website contains the UCLA logo that is visible and easily perceived by users that is important for distinguishing the website from others.

Traditionally, art played an important role in the human life, but the art performed not only aesthetic functions, but it also contributed to the order in human life. Moreover, art is not just a spontaneous form of artists’ self-expression, but it is rather a complex structure which can be analyzed and it is through the analysis it is possible to understand its significance and the order it brings into the human life. In such a situation, it is very important to understand the art as a complex structure.
In this respect, it should be said that art is an essential part of human life. Many thinkers believed that “art exists because it helps bring order to human experience” . Such a view on art is particularly noteworthy taking into consideration the fact that in recent years “arts have not been distinguished by a concern mainstreaming harmony” . In such a way, it is obvious that the view on art as a powerful tool that brings in order in human life persists throughout cultural changes in the course of time, which apparently influence the perception of art.

Traditionally the North of America was better industrially developed, while the South became the center of agriculture. These were not the sings of separation between two parts of the country. By the 50s of the 19th century South and North could not find agreement in economics, statehood and slavery issues. The division, which existed between two parts of one country, got the name sectionalism. Northern states abandoned the very institution of slavery by the beginning of the 19th century. Legal abolishment of slavery institution, initiated by progressive North had bad consequence for the economics of South. The agriculture of the South was mainly based on slave labor and that is why new federal legislation concerning tariffs, territory and changes of Congressional representation had negative consequences for the South (cited in Wheeler).
Despite the physical labor of slaves and violent attitude to them different in the different parts of the South, same as the sizes of plantations, where slave labor was used for the most of the Southerners it was impossible to abandon slavery right at once.

The Aztec Empire was the leading power in Mesoamerica. Before the Spanish conquest, the Aztec Empire played the dominant role in Central American and it was the most advanced civilization in the region which could compete only with Incas in South America. By the time of Cortez’s conquest, the Aztec Empire was the main, if not to say the only well-developed civilization which had substantial financial and material resources, which could help the empire to protect its territory from the foreign invasion. By this time, the would-be powerful Maya city-states had declined and could not resist to the foreign invasion. In such a situation, the Aztec Empire was the main native power which could resists to conquistadors.
However, the Aztec Empire failed to oppose to the Spanish invasion. Paradoxically, Aztecs did not view Spaniards as their enemies or as potential rivals in the struggle for the superiority in the region. Paradoxically, they believed Spaniards being white deities sent to Aztecs by their gods to bring happiness and prosperity to their land. In such a context, their almost divine worshiping of Spaniards and great respect they demonstrated to strangers made the empire vulnerable to fast and relatively easy invasion.

In 1796, the Presidential elections in the USA were marked by the struggle of two major politicians, who played the leading part in American politics – John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. The choice in favor of either politician would define the further development of the country and American people should make a conscious choice. As for me, I would vote for John Adams because his political ground seemed to be more realistic and reliable.
Taking into consideration the historical context of the Presidential elections of 1796, it should be said that Thomas Jefferson offered a new way of the development of the USA. At the same time, it was a revolutionary way, which France had already experienced, but the French Revolution led to the bloodthirsty war and struggle for power. Obviously, the USA could not afford another revolution after gaining independence. Instead, the USA needed stability which John Adams personified.

The portfolio theory is widely applied in the contemporary business environment. At the same time, the application of the portfolio theory is particularly important for investors since it allows selecting optimal investment portfolio and to clearly define the investment behavior. However, it should be said that the portfolio theory was not always considered to be reliable and highly effective, especially in relation to investors and their behavior. In this respect, the role of Markowitz can hardly be underestimated because he made a considerable contribution in the development of the portfolio theory and its improvement, increasing its reliability and effectiveness. In fact, while working on the portfolio theory, Markowitz defined major characteristics of the theory, which imply that the portfolio theory is concerned with investors, with economic agents who work under uncertainty, and it can be used to direct investment behavior if the investor has sufficient computer and database resources. In such a way, Markowitz attempted to make the portfolio theory particularly useful for investors as well as other economic agents working under uncertainty.

On recalling my experience, I should say that I always attempted to make my life purposeful and useful for other people. I strongly believe that we cannot live for our own sake only. Instead, we should take care of other people around us for the more we give the more we gain. At the same time, we are not always confident of the fact that we can really help other people. I know many people who believe that they cannot be of any help to other people and they do nothing to change the situation. Frankly speaking I used to be one of such persons, but I have changed my life dramatically as I started tutoring math, which was a very important experience for me.

The development of art, fashion and design is susceptible to considerable changes in the course of time. The emergence of new styles and movements is practically inevitable and this trend accompanies art, fashion and design throughout epochs. On the other hand, it is necessary to remember about the existence of symbols which persist through different epoch and remain relevant always, acquiring certain implicit meaning. In such a way, the development of art, fashion and design is affected by two controversial trends: the trend to changes and the trend to preservation symbols which seem to be eternal. In such a situation, it is very important to understand the basic trends in the development of art, fashion and design in order to understand the significance of changes and new movements as well as their impact on traditional symbols and aesthetic value of art, fashion and design.

I turned over in my mind for a long time the question that should never be asked. But weighting every life situation and life abruptness I’ve come to understanding that this question concerns life itself, namely its length and circumstances.
So, the question that should never be asked is: When exactly will I die?

Introduction
The “First Impressions” experiment is a computer-based version of a classic study conducted by Hamilton and Gifford (1976). Basically, the original study aimed at the revealing the impact of the first impression on the perception of individuals. The researchers attempted to reveal the extent to which the first impression can affect judgments made by individuals. In their study Hamilton and Gifford arrived to the conclusion that people tend to notice two rare or distinctive events co-occur. This means that people can remain unaware of a possible co-occurrence of insignificant events, which they simply fail to notice or remember, while distinctive or rare events stay in their memory and, what is more important, they influence individuals’ judgments they make about the distinctive events as well as people involved in them. In such a context, the computer-based test is particularly noteworthy since it allows verifying the outcomes of the experiment conducted by Hamilton and Gifford and revealing whether their conclusions were correct or not. At the same time, this experiment is very important to research directly the influence of first impressions on individuals’ perception since due to new technologies, the test is available not only for professionals but also for students who study psychology and such experiments are very helpful and useful for them as they can acquire new empirical evidence of findings of other researchers, namely Hamilton and Gifford.

Today, the development of fashion industry is characterized by the growing cooperation between companies operating in different countries of the world. At the same time, leading companies of the fashion industry attempt to expand their markets and increase their market share by means of international market expansion. In this respect, Mango is one of the leading companies which has started to implement the strategy of international market expansion and such expansion became the mainstream trend in the current development of the company. As the matter of fact, in spite of the international presence of Mango in many countries of the world, its expansion policy has been just started, taking into consideration the existing plan of the company to increase substantially its presence worldwide.
