Dennis Prager’s “The Opposite Sex” and Irwin Shaw’s “The Girls in Their Summer Dresses” propose views about male and female insatiability. Write an essay that demonstrates how Shaw’s work corresponds with Prager’s theory. Your thesis statement should address how Michael and Frances personify male and female insatiability as mentioned by Prager in “The Opposite Sex.” Use at least four direct citations to support your analysis.

Paragraph 1: Introduction to Insatiability, Prager and Shaw
Define insatiability in your own terms. Once you define insatiability, give examples of behaviors or phenomena that show how humans are insatiable. For example, can we be insatiable when it comes to money, food, power etc?
Once you define insatiability, summarize Prager’s argument. Your thesis should address how Michael and Frances from “The Girls in Their Summer Dresses” personify male and female insatiability as mentioned by Prager in “The Opposite Sex.”

Paragraph 2: Males
In your second paragraph, you will need to provide two quotes that illustrate how the texts relate to one another about male insatiability. Remember, that you will need one quote from “The Girls in Their Summer Dresses” and one quote from “The Opposite Sex”. Both texts have similar views about male insatiability, but this is a recommended structure for the body paragraph:

Topic sentence: what does Prager say about male insatiability? In what way does he claim men are insatiable?
Support: Use a quote from Prager to show his stance on male insatiability.
Transition: Move the reader to “The Girls in Their Summer Dresses”. Does Michael (the male in the story) act in a way that corresponds with Prager’s theory?
Support: Use a quote from Shaw to show how Michael in the story demonstrates Prager’s theory.
Follow up: Briefly provide a follow up sentence after the second quote to show the reader how the two quotes connect.

Paragraph 3: Females
In your third paragraph, you will need to provide two quotes that illustrate how the texts relate to one another…but this time, you are focusing on females. Remember, that you will need one quote from “The Girls in Their Summer Dresses” and one quote from “The Opposite Sex”. Both texts have similar views about female insatiability, but this is a recommended structure for the body paragraph:
what does Prager say about female insatiability? In what way does he claim women are insatiable?

Sample Solution

Canada, retail e-commerce sales continues to grow year over year (Statistics Canada, 2018). This growth is largely driven by an increase in consumer spending (Forrester Research, 2018) and a shift consumer behaviour (Canada Post, 2016). The growth of e- commerce presents a unique opportunity for SMEs. It may allow them to reach new consumers online and in new markets (Gessner & Snodgrass, 2015). However very few SMEs have taken advantage of this opportunity to date (Gessner & Snodgrass, 2015). Surprisingly very few SMEs have an interest in adopting e-commerce capabilities or creating a website (PayPal, 2017). These findings are troubling for a few reasons. The failure of SMEs to adopt websites and e-commerce capabilities can impact their growth and have economic implications. Most importantly SMEs may be left behind as consumer shopping behaviour shifts online in favour of e-commerce merchants. The disruption of the retail landscape by e-commerce merchants such as Amazon has been well documented (D’Agostino, 2018). It is important for SMEs to digitize their operations. SME should adopt websites with e-commerce capabilities and utilizing web design best practices to improve the web experience or they risk being left behind. Definitions

The term SMEs is an acronym that refers to small and medium size enterprises. Statistics Canada (2019) defines SMEs as businesses with less than 500 employees. Their most report estimates that medium size enterprises only represent 2.1% of businesses in Canada (Statistics Canada, 2019). Small size enterprises are frequently considered the economic engine of Canada as they represent 97.9% of all businesses in Canada (Statistics Canada, 2019). These enterprises have fewer than 100 employees and employ approximately 69.7% of private sector employees (Statistics Canada, 2019). This paper will focus on both small and medium size enterprises. However due to the economic importance of small size enterprises in Canada, this paper will give more consideration to small enterprises in the analysis section of the paper.

The term web experience refers to the overall experience a user has on a website. In the context of e-commerce it refers to the experience consumers have when shopping for a product on a website (Sicilia, Ruiz, & Munuera, 2005). These activities may include searching for products or product information, interacting with the merchant or products and making purchases online (Sicilia, Ruiz, & Munuera, 2005). In the context of Marketing, the corporate website has long been considered the primary medium for delivering a web experience to retail consumers (Constant
