There are several ways to make an advertisement that contains photographs attract more consumer attention than one that does not have any type of image. For this, an investigation was carried out by means of a survey directed at 38 inhabitants of the city of Medellín, which allowed affirming what was previously consulted and answering the question asked. In turn, in this research, a collection of historical data on photography and advertising was made, where information from our country was taken into account, and a small trace in the timeline. Some elements that are used to make the image look attractive and catch the consumer's attention are the saturation of the colors, the quality of the image, the lighting, and the way the advertisement is organized.

Without a doubt, the imaginary of this woman is crossed by beauty. Medellin is a city characterized by being classified as a place where women are "beautiful" and some historical events have been in charge of setting this paradigm. However, this has become an international problem because the tourist arrives in the territory with such imaginary and purposes that do little to benefit women. Added to this, technological advances and new social networks have been in charge of propagating that imaginary of women, creating in today's young people concerns about their self-image. As a result of this, adolescents want to change their appearance since they do not feel comfortable with it, due to the constant comparison with those "beautiful" women, either on social networks or in their daily lives. Therefore, they also begin to affect eating habits and undergo arduous exercise routines or even surgeries to change your body and turn it into an "ideal" and "perfect" one, bringing as a consequence disorders in mental and physical health.Item ¿Cómo incide la moda en la construcción de la identidad de los adolescentes en la contemporaneidad? : Proyecto de Grado(Medellín : Marymount School Medellín, 2020) Mejía Zapata, María ClaraThe formation of identity in adolescents is a fundamental phase in the life of all individuals, since their tastes, their personality, their singularity are being consolidated.

It is unfortunate that while the environment provides us subsistence, we ruthlessly snatch it away. This has been going on for many years, knowing that nature has existed longer than we humans have. It is time to return to the environment everything that has not been respected and what better way than through architecture, which has been partially responsible for so much damage. Design in architecture can harmonize with nature, but it is necessary for it to know it, understand it and help it in the friendliest way possible; For this, there are several techniques, designs and construction methods, although it is not enough without a complete environmental awareness.Item ¿Cómo la ansiedad generalizada incide en las relaciones interpersonales de los adolescentes? : Proyecto de Grtado(Medellín : Marymount School Medellín, 2020) López Gómez, JuanitaFor the past few decades, anxiety disorders have been raging. Around 21% of adolescents in the 21st century suffer from a mental disorder (Sanz, 2005), and many of them are not aware of how these may be affecting their daily life in a significant way, especially how they can affect their social relationships. From this, the characteristics of interpersonal relationships in adolescents suffering from an anxiety disorder such as generalized anxiety (GAD) and how it can have an impact on their daily lives are exposed in this research. It should be noted that adolescence is a time of changes at the physiological, anatomical and emotional level, and during this time human beings seek to establish bonds that are based on trust and support, but that support is detached from the family nucleus to build itself in the social circle of friends, thus, it is easier to cope with the various fluctuations experienced in this age. For adolescents with GAD, it is vital to have that support, but it is not easy to achieve it because they experience a series of difficult sensations to handle and, therefore, building social relationships is somewhat complex. Therefore, family and friends must be a solid base to support these adolescents, since it is about their rejection or indifference not being added to their mental and physical health.Item ¿Cuál es el impacto que tienen los recuerdos en las decisiones de compra de las generaciones baby boomers y centennials ? : Proyecto de Grado(Medellín : Marymount School Medellín, 2020) Escobar Mesa, NataliaThis paper evaluates the relationship between memories and purchasing decisions specifically in two generations, which are baby boomers and centennials.

Proyecto de Grado(Medellín : Marymount School Medellín, 2020) Mejía Quintero, ValeriaThis research project was carried out in the field of human health in order to determine how the dog can influence the clinical recovery of a human being who is undergoing a post-operative clinical recovery. Dogs and humans have gone through an evolutionary process that forged the relationship they have today. Thanks to this relationship, dogs can be of great help to humans when they experience a difficult situation, such as mental or physical problems, that prevents them from loving the day-to-day life. Animal Assisted Therapy, or better known as AAT has been practiced for many years and is a process in which humans benefit from animals, in this case dogs, in terms of physical and mental well-being.

According to previous studies, these may be linked to the baby not descending through the vaginal canal. Some of these complications are asthma, ADHD, low cognitive development of the child, among others. The objective of this research is to determine the physical and psychological impact that a cesarean delivery has in the baby compared to the impacts generated in a vaginal delivery. The methodology used was mixed, in which a survey was conducted with open and closed questions to obtain data and different opinions of women who had experienced one or both type of delivery methods. In addition, the information obtained was analyzed and compare to the theory set out in the conceptual framework. The conclusion is that cesarean delivery has no greater impact on the baby than a vaginal delivery. It is suggested to continue with this type of research as with the information collected it is not enough to be conclusive.Item ¿Cuál fue el aporte de la sucesión de Fibonacci en la teoría de números y en la solución de problemas creativos y sencillos en las áreas STEM? : Proyecto de Grado(Medellín : Marymount School Medellín, 2020) Bernal Vélez, María JoséThe Fibonacci sequence is a very simple series that was stated by Leonardo of Pisa, a Greek mathematician of the 12th century that made great contributions in the number theory, consisting of the branch of mathematics that studies whole numbers and their properties, as he introduced the numbers that we currently use and the basic operations with these. Despite being a very simple progression, it has many properties and applications in our daily lives because it can be seen not only in mathematics, such as in the Pascal’s Triangle, but also in nature, in the human body, and in human creations, including the organization of the seeds of some plants (like sunflowers), the outline of galaxies and hurricanes, the measure of our hands’ phalanges, the beauty of human beings, the Greek Parthenon, and the Mona Lisa. However, many people don’t have any knowledge about this sequence or its importance when explaining many of the phenomena that we witness daily. Moreover, this project pretends that a greater variety of individuals acquire knowledge of it. Because of this, the present work exhibits the basic concepts of the Fibonacci Sequence and the number theory with the objective of revealing the contributions of this progression in this division of mathematics. On the other hand, it will also be established if this succession can help in the solution of creative and simple problems in the STEM areas by using questionnaires applied to ninth and tenth grade students of Marymount School, where they will need to use the knowledge they gained on this sequence (explained through a video) and their basic knowledge of mathematics.Item Pautas de crianza y su relación con la configuración de asesinos seriales : Proyecto de Grado(Medellín : Marymount School Medellín, 2020) Molina Vargas, Maria AntoniaIn this investigation the main objective is to find out how parenting patterns influence in the configuration of a serial killer in Colombia.
