In this day and age, skinny jeans seem to be one of the most popular clothing items among young people. Nevertheless, since this fashion is relatively modern, there is not enough research on the impact that it has on the human body. Researchers and medical professionals, however, do not recommend wearing tight pants frequently since it can produce negative outcomes in the future. First of all, the compressive force of fabric on the lower abdomen causes the most harm to women since it creates discomfort in this area. As one of the most reliable urologists, Professor Smith confirmed that during the cold season, more women come to medical clinics to get treatment for cystitis (Smith, 2020). This is explained primarily by the anatomical features of the pelvic organs. In addition, in the case of winter cold and sickness, infections can easily and faster enter the genitourinary system.
Another important factor that should be taken into consideration is that tight pants also disrupt the blood flow. The structure of jeans forces blood to circulate in the squeezed vessels, and for this reason, vital organs do not get enough oxygen and nutrients. Nevertheless, even this factor does not stop young people from wearing this type of clothing. Aside from the fact that fashion trends tend to favor tight pants, low waisted jeans also become popular, which is also dangerous. Researchers state that a bare lower back provokes the development of colds and flu in winter since they do not cover parts of the body where the vital organs are located (Smith, 2020). This exposure can also lead to kidney and uterus diseases, which also increases the risk of infertility.

The Idea Of Friendship In Literary Works
Studying the phenomenon of friendship in literary works is quite popular among authors. The writer Sherman Alexie in his story “This Is What It Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona” comically approaches the description of friendship between old friends. At the same time, Borges Luis, in the short story “Funes the Memorious”, does not show friendly relations, but with more careful analysis, the reader can find them.
Friendship is what helps a person to overcome hard times through the support of a close friend. This concept is held back by Alexie, describing a difficult period in the life of the main character, Victor. Thomas, once his best friend, became a social outcast because of his characteristics. Even though the closest person turned his back on him, Thomas offered help in a difficult time for Victor after his father’s death (Alexie, p. 2). The only condition Thomas put forward was that Victor offered him to go together. With this story, the writer demonstrates the severe problem of absolute loneliness, which is experienced by a person deprived of all social contacts. Friendship in his story is a temporary tool that connects two distant souls, guiding them through an exciting journey. In this regard, it is particularly interesting to note the symbolic appearance of a hare on an empty road, which, probably because of loneliness, throws itself under the wheels of the only passing car.
Luis tells a completely different story: there is no direct mention of friendships or conflicts in “Funes the Memorious”. Nineteen-year-old Funes begins to perceive the world differently as a result of falling from a horse (Luis, p. 151). In particular, all the events, meetings, and activities that take place in the boy’s life are put aside in his memory with absolute precision. Before the fall, Funes was not socially active, but once he met the narrator during a walk. Their next meeting is the culmination of the story, as it reveals the idea of empathy and understanding for the unfamiliar person. For Luis, friendship means the idea of an insensible connection between the characters, which is realized through the narrator’s focused attention on the ridiculous stories of Funes. They are not friends, and could hardly have been, but that night the bonds between them were created, expressed in support and communication. Such fleeting unity is the core of friendship that allows one to find understanding among other people.

“Lifesizing Entrepreneurship“ By Robert A. Miller
The rhetoric of the Text (The Author)
The article is written by Robert A. Miller, a Professor of Law and Management and a recipient of the Excellence in Teaching award. A footnote states that the author’s main research area is business ethics, entrepreneurship, and law. Miller has also written at least one article on lifesizing entrepreneurship before. The text shows that the author supports the idea of lifesizing in business because it is more ethical and can be more profitable in the long run. He clearly states his position and supports it with careful examination of Pope, Drucker, and Lonergan’s works. Overall, the author seems reliable based on his credentials and the fact that he has researched the topic previously and continues to explore it in the article in question.
The rhetoric of the Text (The Text)
The article’s main aim is to show why lifesizing in business is essential and how it can be used to counteract the decline in ethics and lead to more people benefiting from the industry. The arguments made by the author are reasonable and are based on the previous body of research and examples from the business world. The evidence provided in the text is sound and supports the offered arguments. However, it would benefit from more detailed illustrations, specifically, of businesses successfully countering the decline in ethics without losing profit. Overall, the article’s tone is quite serious, although some emotional language can be seen, for example, in the section on the role of business in society. However, metaphors and emotive language used by the author do not seem inappropriate.
The rhetoric of the Text (The Audience)
The author aims his article at business students, people interested in starting a business, and entrepreneurs. The audience is presented with possible biases business can develop over time and is shown why it is crucial to avoid individual, group, general, and dramatic biases. The author is quite persuasive as he provides a clear explanation of how biases and decline in ethics in business can lead to internal problems. However, the article would be more convincing if Miller explained the concept of lifesizing and its benefits for different business ventures and people involved in them in more detail. Although the text’s structure is very logical, it would persuade more readers if more was written on lifesizing.
