Also mention 3 things they could have done to improve their chances of achieving the money required. (small paragraph) The first entrepreneur who was called Nora was the most one who gave a poor presentation. She came to ask the dragons to invest 50,000 pound in return for 20%. She came to offer a product to solve the problem of women finding it hard to put eyeliners by offering flick tips with different styles that can be stick at the end of the eye as she thought it was the perfect idea for women to get the perfect flick tip. The problem with Nora’s product was that she sold it with a very expensive price that wont even attract the costumers to buying it as each was for 6.99 dollars .A second disadvantage of the product is that it could only be used once and the stick on it goes and it can be only reused by putting a stick on it again which is a disadvantage to the product. Another problem with Nora’s product was that if it becomes unfashionable her product will be gone and will no longer get money. A last problem of her product was that she didn’t have a range of products along with the eyeliner flick tips so if one fails the other could hold it up. As she had only a one short-term product, that the Dragon’s refused to invest their money afraid they wont get it back. The first thing Nora could have done to improve her chances of achieving was

    Huskanaw Ceremony

    • 750 Words
    • 2 Pages

    A Huskanaw is a ceremony used by the Virginia Indians of the Powhatan Confederacy in which boys between the ages of ten and fifteen were prepared for manhood. Only fifteen of the finest young men in the tribe were chosen for the ceremony and it was considered a great honor to be chosen. In the Huskanaw ceremony, the boys were massed around the roots of a tree and five men came and gathered the chosen boys while enduring severe blows from the elders of the tribe. While that was happening, the mothers of the boys were weeping and preparing animals skins, mosses, and other sacred items for their sons’ funerals. After the five men gathered the boys, the tree was torn down and the boys were sent to the woods for nine months. During those months, the boys were held captive by the men they had been chosen by and were forced to drink of poisonous, hallucinogenic roots. In doing this, the boys were supposed to forget everything about their lives as children so that they can develop into men. In this essay I am going to describe what I believe it would be like to have undergone the Huskanaw ritual of the Powhatan Confederacy.…

    Coming Of Age Ceremony

    • 167 Words
    • 1 Page

    Many people now feel that the meaning of Coming-of-Age Day has been lost. “Sadly in recent years disrespectful behavior by 20-year-olds at the ceremonies – such as chatting loudly, using mobile phones during speeches and even fights at venues – have earned a lot of bad press. As a result there is some public resentment at spending taxpayers’ money on Coming of Age festivities”(David Boyd). Over the last few years the historical tradition has been nearly lost by Japanese culture due to the new young adults who don’t give this tradition the respect it once had. This can likely be blamed on the former generations who may have not properly passed down the tradition and its true meaning; and the decaying values of the current generation. Being introduced…
