Waterproof Hairspray 

I am one of those girls who are pretty obsessed with their hair.  I just hate how when I have hairspray in my hair and it's raining outside, the hairspray starts running down from my head.  I'm pretty sure most of you have experienced that before, that's why I want to create a hairspray that is waterproof.  This product doesn't necessarily need to be expensive just because it's special.  It can be in the range of $5-$10 and can be sold at your local drug stores.  My product would be targeted towards mostly women because men usually use gel, clay and etc.   A hairstyle for the past few years is the infamous poof, that requires quite a bit of hairspray.  Imagine you had a poof that day and its pouring rain outside.  You wouldn't want your poof to deflate right? A problem that needs to put into consideration is, what are some ways to wash your hair with this product in it.


A binder with a pocket for textbook/supplies

I realized how we go to school having to carry so many textbooks and binders.  It just came to mind that maybe there should be a binder with a big pocket attached to it so we can put our textbooks and writing instruments in it.  There's many times when we go to class and forget to bring our textbook, pencils, pens, etc.  If this is to be created, life would be so much easier for those who are forgetful.  The price would be affordable,  around $4.  A problem with this product may be the binder being too heavy and may be hard to carry around.

Sustainability, The "Back-2-MAC Program"

Sustainability is providing the best for people and the environment both now and in the future.  How this program works is to return six empty primary packaging containers back to MAC and recieve a free lipstick of your choice back.  I think MAC is very clever to come up with an idea like this.  Their lip products are in the range of $17-26, which is quite pricey.  This encourages customers to recycle these containers as a way to give back to the community.  MAC also has a program called MAC Aids Fund.  Every cent of the selling price of MAC lipstick is donated to the MAC Aids Fund where they help women, men and kids around the world that is affected by HIV/AIDs.  This is a positive way for customers to contribute to the community.  I will be looking forward to being a part of these two incredible programs.

Business Ethics and Socials Responsibilities

As far as making profit goes, businesses should be aware of their business ethics and social responsibilities.  Business ethics are basically the moral principles and values that decide the actions and decisions of a group.  If there is a procedure that needs to be done and is morally wrong, which is against their business ethics, it may affect the company and their profit will decrease.  Each company should have their responsibilities towards society.  Society has been using the term "green", which basically means recycling and giving back to the community.  I think that making profit is important and so is being socially responsible for our environment.  Businesses should put their resources to better use rather than putting them to waste.  Everyone has their own opinion on business ethics and social responsibilities, but they should keep in mind that giving back to the community may benefit them as well.
