Victor Strasburger, the author of children, adolescents, and advertising, begins his journal article with a fact that states "young people view more than 40,000 advertisements per year on tv alone". (Strasburger 2006, page 57). This fact leads the reader into Strasburger's main idea of the harmful effects of advertisements on young children and adolescents. Strasburger writes the journal article fluently and flows from idea to idea with ease. Strasburger presents many good ideas such as a rising obesity crisis in America, or that drug, alcohol, tobacco and food companies spend the most amount of money on advertising, thus causing repercussions such as substance abuse or underage drinking.

  • Adolph B. Spreckels Summary

    206 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Temple of Music was Claus Spreckels’ most expensive gift to his adopted hometown of San Francisco. It was a concession to his son, Adolph B. Spreckels, who served very successfully as a park commissioner and who enlisted many members of his class to improve the Golden Gate Park. The document provides a good sense of the bourgeois male club culture of the era. It also gives insights into the German-American network in San Francisco: Now only was Frederick W. Dohrmann (1842-1914) a successful, first-generation, German-American crockery merchant, and, from 1896, the owner of California’s first department store, the Emporium, he was also a driving force of the German Benevolent Society, the German Altenheim, and served as a park commissioner.

  • Reading The Paper By Ron Carlson Summary

    536 Words  | 3 Pages

    In his short story “Reading the Paper”, Ron Carlson uses the technique of switching between a normal morning routine and unexpected tragedies to show that the story is truly about reading the paper. After completing some of their morning tasks, such as doing the wash or getting timmy ready for school, the narrator hears someone knock on the back door. When the narrator opens up the door and sees a guy who had just escaped from prison, the escaped prisoner asks “if he can come in and rape [them] and cut [them] up a little bit”(1). Instead of being affected by this at all, the narrator then says, “after he does that, my coffee’s cold, so I pour a new cup”(1). This switch between experiencing a horrible event and continuing their morning routine of getting coffee isn’t normal.

  • Marcus Rediker's Article Analysis

    2076 Words  | 9 Pages

    Both articles were well written and provide an overview of piracy as well as an argument for people’s motive for becoming pirates. In my opinion, Rediker’s argument was stronger than Bialuschewski’s as he went more in depth into the issue or piracy as well as their way of life. Redikers’ use of primary sources and quotations also helped to validate his argument. Marcus Rediker’s Article Analysis: Marcus Rediker’s main argument throughout the article was that piracy was an attractive life for many people during the 1700’s. He argues that there were several motivations to becoming a pirate, including the hope of attaining wealth, escaping poor living conditions, the freedom of choice, and escaping previous lives.1

  • Under The Drinking Age Essay

    In this report, I have chosen to research the effects of alcohol advertising on young people below the drinking age of 18 years-old in the UK. I will be considering how advertising, particularly that which exists in supermarkets and shops and in televised advertisement breaks, can affect the mindset and views of young people towards alcohol and whether being exposed to advertisements encourages underage drinking. I have chosen to research this topic because it is something I believe to be interesting as the shortening of childhood has been a highly debated topic in the past few decades, and I can personally connect with this topic and have had experiences with the issue of underage drinking. It is noticeable in statistics supplied by Drink

  • Explain How Does Advertising Mirrors Society

    Do companies create consumer demand or simply try to meet customers’ needs? I believe advertising shapes as well as mirrors society. A case in point, advertisements can shape society's perception of ‘beauty." For instance, in magazines and movies, quite often young girls strive to look-like and emulate the digitally enhanced images of women in magazines. As such, some critics argue that advertising abuses its influence on children and teenagers in particular, amongst others.

    each day a child sees an ad whether it be on an electronic or a sign/billboard. For instance, in the article “Facts About Marketing Towards Children” a part of the article proves that children are exposed to many advertisements each day,¨The average American child today is exposed to an estimated 40,000 television commercials a year — over 100 a day,”(89) said The Center for a New American Dream. Children are exposed to so many commercials that if you ask a child to sing a jingle they’ve heard from a commercial they will come up with one in a flash.

  • Summary Of Journal Article By Karpicke And Blunt

    734 Words  | 3 Pages

    In a journal article by Karpicke and Blunt (2012), two experiments were performed upon undergraduate students in order to test the effectiveness of retrieval learning versus elaborative study with concept mapping, on the student’s long-term ability to retain science material. In the opinion of many educators and students alike, most likely as a result of folk psychology, the assumption is that elaborative learning techniques are far more effective for long-term retention of material in comparison to the retrieval or self-testing learning technique (Karpicke & Blunt 2012, pp. 772). The aim of Karpicke and Blunt’s (2012) journal article is to test this assumption. In experiment one, four test conditions were set in which eighty undergraduate
