Provide a 11 pages analysis while answering the following question: The Institutional Gaze and Disciplining on Smoke-Free Website. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Some of the “institutions” are formally constituted, with laws and procedures which explicitly govern their remit and conduct, such hospitals or prisons, while others have more implicit rules, which we perceive as conventions or habits, such as theatre going or sports fandom. Most of the time people unconsciously abide by the rules set in these institutions, or willingly submit to the rules that they can clearly see, and this compliance is regarded by the majority as “normal” behaviour, while those who do not display compliance are labelled in some way “sick”, “abnormal”, “deviant” or even “criminal”. Throughout the twentieth century scholars in different disciplines began to unpick this dynamic and look for ways to explore what is going on here, why it is happening, and how these patterns are created and maintained.

It was recognised by linguists that many of these issues are expressed in the way that people and organisations communicate with each other. A method called “discourse analysis” was developed in the field of linguistics which allows close examination of individual pieces of communication between people, whether in daily speech, in writing or in television programmes, instruction leaflets or any other context. This method provides “rather powerful, while subtle and precise, insights” and allows us to “witness the realization of the macro-sociological patterns that characterize our society” (Van Dijk, 185, 7).

In this paper, we shall use a discourse analysis approach to investigate a portion of communications from the field of healthcare: the “Smoke-Free” website from the UK National Health Service. In particular, we shall look at how participants are recruited into this programme, how the programme sets behaviour codes, monitors the individuals, and keeps records on them. Close analysis of the actual communications will only take us so far, however, and as Van Dijk realised, there are also “macrosocial” factors to consider. One of the most influential scholars in this, as in other fields, has been Michael&nbsp.Foucault.&nbsp.

Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on analysis of pepsi company limited Paper must be at least 1000 words. Please, no plagiarized work! The strategy used by the company indicates that the management is in the process of creating action plans that try to augment the market share and take the lead competitor position in the soft drinks industry. The company tries to do this by increasing operations in all major cities of the world to rival the global presence of Coca-Cola Company.

b) The annual report also points out the fact the company uses the straight line on both depreciation and amortization, a factor which means that the company does not use reducing balance method (PepsiCo, 2010). When the different depreciation methods are compared, it can be seen that the straight-line method is the best for this type of company. This is because the straight-line method allocates the usefulness of the assets to the most productive life of the asset, meaning that when the asset is near obsolete, the depreciation allocated to the asset is small compared to the earlier life of the asset. Conversely, the reducing balance method of depreciation allocates depreciation according to the value of the asset, which ends up allocating depreciation even when the asset is near obsolete. The company also uses the straight-line method to amortize assets, loans and allocate capital expenditure.

c) From the annual reports released in the fiscal year ended December 2010, the par value of Pepsi Company common stock is 1 2/3 pence per share (PepsiCo, 2010). This par value reflected by the financial statements of the company indicates that the value has remained constant since the company announced a stock split in 1996, which means that the share data have been adjusted to reflect the stock split. The par value of the shares has remained constant since the period, and capital in excess of the par value is reduced to reflect the increase in par value occasioned by the value of additional shares issued.
