1) The document explores how 10-11 year old students at a junior school used clothing choices to express individual and group identities, particularly in constructing masculinity.
2) While the school had a uniform policy, it was loosely enforced, allowing students more freedom to use clothing to gain status and bond with peers.

Crude oil, gold, and the US dollar are all interconnected assets whose prices impact one another. A falling US dollar typically causes gold and oil prices to rise for Americans as it takes more dollars to purchase the same amount. Gold and oil prices tend to move in the same direction since oil is needed for gold mining and refining. Over the long run, there is an inverse relationship between the dollar and gold as gold is considered a store of value when currencies lose purchasing power. Fluctuations in any of these commodities or the dollar have ripple effects throughout the global economy.
The document discusses alternatives for addressing obsolescence issues at Avon. It analyzes 3 alternatives: 1) implementing an inventory control system, 2) focusing on best-selling products and cutting obsolete products, and 3) remodelling obsolete products. The recommendation is to focus on best-selling products that provide higher returns and cut production of obsolete products, while attempting to recover costs of obsolete inventory through discounts or incentives. Implementing this alternative along with proper monitoring is concluded to best address Avon's obsolescence problem.
