Essays on Salesman

The similarities between persuasive business techniques and counseling interviewing techniques seem to be very few, but they do exist. For starters, one must look at the primary function of counseling. One of the primary tenets is that the client must believe that they are capable, empowered and able to change. Oftentimes, this requires more than encouragement by the counselor to make this happen. In essence, we are selling to their client the belief structures that are socially appropriate for them to possess,and the emotional tools that they need to cope with their life situation. Also, salesmen will also ...

I recently engaged in a negotiation with a car salesman. I wanted to buy a new sedan car at a price of $6000. However, the car salesman offered the car I wanted at a price of $7500.

As such, the dealer requested that I raise my offer which I declined. After analyzing the market prices, the dealer agreed to come down from his ...

The concept of the American dream has been widely interpreted by many people to mean the national values that guide America towards attaining prosperity (Adams, 23). One such literature work that has tried interpreting the American dream is Arthur Miller’s ‘Death of a Salesman’. In this play, the author puts his focus on the concept of the American dream. In one way or the other, the play exposed the weak points and the failures of blindly having faith in the American dream, as it leads to a tragedy.

Negotiating is a skill that all of us need, but few of us have. Perhaps it’s the fear of stepping out of our comfort zones, or simply the fear of rejection. It’s not in most people’s human nature to be confrontational or simply just asking for what they want. A negotiation is nothing more than settling differences. It’s simply the process of reaching an agreement while avoiding a dispute. Very rarely, people will agree on everything. In fact, the opposite may be true: we agree on nothing. Therefore, we need some sort of way to ...

Arthur Miller: Death of a Salesman (1949)

Introduction

Arthur Miller is a renowned American iconic playwright regarded by many as the best of his generation. He is a household name in the American theatre and has produced arguably some of the best plays widely considered by many critics as classics. In my essay I aim to focus on Arthur Miller’s award winning play Death of A Salesman which premiered in 1949. The play, broadly referred to as the first ‘Great American Tragedy’, centers on the life of Willy Loman, the protagonist, and mainly so, on the last twenty-four hours ...

Death of a Salesman is an American tragedy, written in 1948 by Arthur Miller. While it reflects the values of American society such as success and the American dream, the play continues to have relevance and a universal appeal because it depicts the struggle of a man, Willy Loman, to come to grips with a rapidly changing society which he no longer understands. Hooti and Azipour (15) are correct in their appreciation of the play when they assert that “this play is the story of all human beings who are in search of success, Love, Pride and Ambition, but ...

“By and large, people in the South still conceive of humanity in theological terms. While the South is hardly Christ-centered, it is most certainly Christ-haunted”, - is one of the most mentioned quotes of Flannery O’Connor. The southern literary icon, who was a Catholic, did not create a positive image of people’s stance on religion in spite of her own faith. O’Connor could finish her stories in a more positive way to write a more Catholic-like literature. However, her mix of grotesque Southern scenes and Christianity created more “timeless, and more impactful than the fluffy, always ...

Flannery O’Connor is known for her knack of incorporating Southern values and religious beliefs in all of her stories and novels. Often, the main character goes through a horrific event that extracts views and interpretations of religion from the characters as well as the audience. “Good Country People” is a story about a woman and her daughter, and their reluctance to escape their small world on their country farm. Mrs. Hopewell, who lives with her daughter Hulga, welcomes a bible salesman named Manley Pointer into their house one day under the impression that he is wholesome and innocent. ...

The issue of feminism in the film industry is a common topic for controversial discussions. Many writers are more popular than others because of the ways in which feminism surfaces as the driving force behind their presentations. Feminism can be classified as a social movement that has created an enormous impact on culture of film, the theories of films and the critical reviews of films. A number of films represent the myths that reveal ideas on women and their femininity. In addition, there are films that speak to men and their masculinity. The issues of representation and spectatorship form ...

Outlining Aristotle’s Theory of Tragedy, a brief discussion on the definition of tragedy can be delivered. According to the Theory of Tragedy, it is a kind of literature that presents replication of several serious actions of different magnitudes compiled with each brand of artistic as well as linguistic embellishment (Jeong-Hyok Seo). In addition to that, the literature has been divided into many parts in the form of continuous actions sometimes not descriptive. At the end of the play, the several incidents create distinct misfortune and fear that ends in accomplishing grief. Considering the tragedy as a literary genre, ...

Salesman

1. Description The recent seminar stressed the role of salesmen. The perception of sales has been reduced to telemarketers while the sales environment has shifted into the technological whelm. The public perception and reality have increasingly shifted apart. As the sales environment evolved the demands of consumers have amplified. The general public perceives salesmen as pushy, fast talking and demanding. Meanwhile, as the sales environment progressed the quality of customer service has become progressively more important to businesses. The role of the salesman has become that of a brand ambassador ushering consumers towards their business, answering questions about products ...

"Never mind," my father said. He spoke with resignation, even good humour the words which absolved and dismissed me for good. "She's only a girl," he said I didn't protest that, even in my heart. Maybe it was true. (Munro, 12).” These last lines from Alice Munro’s short story ‘Boys and Girls’ comes across as a bittersweet ending. Throughout the story the narrator, a young girl growing into adolescence tries to get away from the gender identities the people around her try to instill. Growing up in a rural farm in the 1940’s, where gendered roles were ...

Austrian writer Franz Kafka came in the German-language literature in the 20th century and became one of the most famous writers of his age, one of the most recognized literary innovators. Like all his generation, which has entered into the literature on the eve of the First World War and the subsequent revolutionary upheavals in Russia and Germany, Franz Kafka was living with the constant feeling of deep hostility of soulless, mechanical and bureaucratized world to man, to human nature. All of Franz Kafka's prose can be called a great essay about fear, about the state of the lonely ...

A contract is very different from an agreement. There are certain elements that must always be met for an agreement to be considered as a contract. In many cases, if any of the elements is missing then the agreement cannot be considered to be binding in the legal sense. A contract must have the following elements: Offer: At all times, between the two parties, there must exist a definite and very clearly outlined offer for doing something. An offer is always an expression to do something which is then supposed to be followed by unconditional acceptance from the other ...

Q1 Answer

A legal contract takes place when two parties develop a compulsion enforceable by the law. For a contract to exist, various elements should be present. Some of these elements include the offer, acceptance, mutuality of obligation, writing requirement, capacity and consideration. Richards (2006) reveals that an offer entails the promises that require one party to exchange something with another party via a clear agreement. In the case at hand, there existed an offer when Jim and Laura expressed their interest in buying a car from Stan. They clearly did window shopping for the vehicle and at last, identified a ...

A Contract

In the words of Judge Learned Hand, a contract “is an obligation attached by the mere force of law to certain acts of the parties, usually words, which ordinarily accompany and represent a known intent” (Solan, 2007, p. 353). Because the formation of a contract carries with it certain legal obligations and rights of the respective parties, it is important to know when a valid and binding contract has been formed. In order for a valid contract to exist, certain elements must be met. There are generally four essential elements that must be satisfied for a contract to exist. ...

Introduction

Buying a car is a huge purchase. It is a purchase that will affect any individual for the next four to five years. This makes proper negotiation skills a must when purchasing a vehicle. It is important to be well educated on the product before negotiating. This will make a person more educated when making an offer. When it comes to car negotiations, the goal is to come to an agreement that is beneficial for both parties involved (Gerstner 65). The consumer needs to know and understand this before going into a dealership and attempt a negotiation. The consumer ...

In the play Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller, the main character Willy Loman is a man in his 60’s. He is dressed in a drab coloured, ill-fitting suit. Willy shows early signs of dementia, as he spends much of the play having flashbacks or incorporating the past into present day situations. Through this the viewer learns much about Willy and his past. We learn that Willy is a salesman, who has had only minor success. Willy blames this on the fact that he is not well liked. This is due to the fact that Willy believes ...

It often happens that the reader experiences some sort of uneasy fear along with the longing of going deeper in the text and reading between the lines. This uneasiness comes from the desire to avoid seeing more in the work than the author designed originally. However, literary criticism allows to appreciate literary works beyond just admiration of the form and the elements of sense which lie on the surface. A mindful approach to a literary text allows to go beyond the obvious and uncover sometimes small, but usually very specific elements. These elements add up considerably to the overall ...

Why is it important for a counselor to have an understanding of ethical theory?

Counselors have a sworn duty to help their clientele by listening and being attentive to the person’s problems, it can be argued that a counselor’s sole purpose is to guide someone on how they should deal with everyday problems. It cannot be argued that there are limits to a counselor’s power as far as giving advice, counselors are fully aware of what to do or say and what not to. For example, a counselor can instruct a person on how to effectively deal with their problems, but the counselor cannot give them specific instructions on how ...

Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman shapes the trajectory of understanding the American dream in what is considered as the promise of success in the economic and social spectrum. By using the character that exudes the personally attractive and the well-liked man in business, Miller explores the inherent desire among the middle class Americans to acquire material comfort. This is occasioned by the modern American life, evidenced in "the man who makes an appearance in the business world, the man who creates a personal interest, is the man who gets ahead. Be liked and you will never want" ( ...

Rear Window is one of the greatest work of Alfred Hitchcock and an excellent part of his experimental period. It has a very challenging concept - the audience watches almost the entire movie from the main character's rear window and that technique made Hitchcock's Rear Window a legend. The movie is focused on viewer's reaction to tension and suspense. It is persuasive, because the director puts the audience into main character's shoes.

One of the more interesting situations where I saw proxemics and haptics in action was when I went with a friend who was interested in buying a used car. It was early on a Saturday morning and my friend and I were walking around looking at the different cars offered for sale. Although my friend concentrated on the cars, I was doing some “people watching” as well. One thing I noticed was although there was a sales man who was not engaged in conversation with a customer he did not immediately approach us. A few minutes later, I realized why; the salesmen were ...

David Mamet brings to the American theatre a particular sensitivity to the ways in which language is used, apart from its communicative function, to give shape and meaning to its users’ lives. His characters tend to come from closed worlds with their own cultures, myths, codes and jargon – old men, swinging singles, minor criminals, high-pressure salesmen and Hollywood hustlers (Berkowitz 190). Mamet believed that the language the person uses always defines the way he or she behaves. He makes an emphasis on language as a weapon, a mean of standardizing, identity and power, superiority, but not as a usual tool of communication.

Ethics in business are vital as they limit the extent upon which administers and managers may go so as to earn more profits. It is paramount that any organization maintains an ethical code that all employees and stakeholders will follow and maintain.

The ethical dilemma in this scenario is whether to sell or not to sell. The salesman of the company has been offered a deal that will see him earn a commission of over $100,000. He will also earn the company huge sales. He can justify himself and argue that the sale of the drug is legalized by the ...

In many ways, the play is a tragedy that centers on the problems of the Loman family. Wiily Loman, the protagonist, is the misguided character person, who sets out to achieve the goals that he thinks is the right for himself and his family. It is ironic that his dreams and goals of having a better life for himself and his family are responsible for the pain and distress to everyone. In Death of a Salesman, the protagonist, Willy, is different from the traditional tragic hero, but he possesses the fatal flaw of all tragic heroes. The true tragedy of the play ...

Tim advertised that he was selling his Porch Short Boxer car in the newspaper to which the rogue later responded by visiting him. The advertisement by Tim is merely an invitation to treat which essentially paves the way for submission of offers to which Tim is free to accept or reject. This was the case in Partridge v Crittenden where Lord Parker CJ made a comment to the effect that if an advertisement were to be regarded as an offer, advertisers would be faced with a situation where they are under an obligation to sell the advertised goods to everyone who ...

INTRODUCTION

Most entrepreneurs when they enter into business, they usually focus on getting more money but in the two films “China or Bust” and “Big Dreams, Little Tokyo” the entrepreneurs seeks to ensure that the people first accept them. The cultural differences made it difficult for business negotiations to begin. Generally, the two movies are an example of how society is changing from a single culture to a multicultural where different people can relate.

The fact that the two negotiating partners were from two different cultures majorly American and Japanese culture made gives a worry that one is going to be ...

Death of a Salesman First response:I respectfully disagree with your view that Willy Loman should be considered a protagonist in the play “Death of a Salesman” just because he and his son Biff affect each other’s character. Aristotle made numerous remarks about the definitions of drama, and laid down specific parameters about what an ‘ideal’ protagonist should be in his work “Poetics”. However, underneath the fault of his character lie his greatness, ambitions, and dreams. His inability to fulfill those dreams, as well as his tragic flaw, and most especially his desire to manifest those dreams around him were the ...

Tragedy is a genre rather than an idea. It depicts man as an unwelcome guest in the world and teaches the world that it is better never to have been born. Tragedy underscores the hopelessness of individuals’ attempts to remake the world. It deals with suffering through a series of experiences and conventions of life. Tragedy forces individuals to recognize that they may act against their own interests and that the consequences of their actions deviate disastrously from their hopes and expectations. In other words, tragedy refers to the inescapabilty of suffering and loss. Tragedy enhances any conceivable refinement of misconception, ...

Throughout the course of American mythology and literature, there is a curious persistence of the concept of the American dream. From the very beginning of western influence on the continent, groups of people have constantly flocked to the land in search of a fabled life better than their own.

Playwright Arthur Miller frequently wrote about and depicted this ideology.

The play “Oedipus the King” by Sophocles begins with Oedipus the king explaining his concern about his citizens thus: “My zeal in your behalf ye cannot doubt; Ruthless indeed were I and obdurate, If such petitioners as you I spurned” (11-15). These lines clearly establish the fact that Oedipus is a good king and looks after his kingdom, Thebes, quite well. However, this is not enough. No matter how well Oedipus governs his kingdom or how valiant he is, tragedy befalls Oedipus through what can be said as “Hamartia”. Hamartia or tragic flaw is what brings down a great character and ...
