Marketing to children 
  
 
  Growing number of products are marketing to infant and school-aged children. So,   
some people began to think should they allow companies market all their products to   
children, even it makes children become fat and get lots of bad habits?Advertisements   
offer shopping conveniences, but unlimited marketing to children will have bad   
influences to their f ood  p references , habits and customs and disturb their family   
payments balance.
 
  First of all,children’s f ood  p references  are not built, which means it’s very easy to   
be changed. According to  Danielle ,  Anna R. , Bettina  and  Margaret (2012)  “children’s   
attitude toward the advertised product will be affected by a significant interaction   
between involvement level and argument strength”. Take  McDonald for example,   
McDonald publish their advertisements, which usually are a goup of children are   
eating McDonald’s burgles and fries or a very clear picture about burgles or fried   
chicken. Children are easily be attracted by those pictures or advertisements, which   
means children will want to buy this products and enjoy those unhealthy food just like   
what they saw in those advertisements, and a big amount of junk food eating will   
makes children over-weight.Chips’s companies use attractive pictures to push children   
buy their chips, and chips also will makes children over-weight. Janet(1998) found   
that  pictures are important dressing to make even a boring book looks   
charming.So,attractive pictures and words make school-age children pay attention to                                                                       those food which was showed in those ads and change their food preferences, even   

those food are junk food and will make them over-weight.  
  Further more, children’s habits and customs would be affect by advertisements. As

    ...Fire is a major factor in our ecosystem, both good and bad, that is influenced by climate. It can cause carbon dioxide to have a direct effect on vegetation, and land use, and in turn, affect landscape pattern processes. Fire in the Earth’s ecosystems is a natural occurrence that is vital in keeping the flow of natural cycles healthy and efficient. Natural causes of bush fires has played significant role in shaping the ecosystems, such as certain plant life being more susceptible to harsh, scorching conditions. Some of the animal life present today were also influenced by fire, for example the animals that were able to escape a fire and survive, live and reproduced successfully and became adapted to these harsher environmental conditions, hence survival of fittest. However, the natural occurrences of fires in ecosystem can lead to devastating effects of the ecosystem and the close-by communities. The aftermath of a bushfire or any local community is often immeasurable, leaving people with nothing but black ash. For this reason, we need to enforce the benefits of integrating a ‘prescribed burning’ approach in our community, especially, where the land is fuel embedded during the summer season. It’s an undeniable fact here in the Philippines that our newspaper headlines always contain “fire, sunog, apoy”. It’s a very sad story to share that in just one irresponsible use of...

  • Essay about Fire Investigation

    ...COMBUSTION AND FIRE INVESTIGATION There are many different types of fires and it can be quite difficult to establish what may have started the fire in the first place. Fire investigation is an important process that attempts to establish the cause of the fire and whether a criminal act has taken place. The National Fire Statistics in the UK compiled by the Home Office states that 25% of fires are electrical in origin but this does not tell the whole story. The statistics are compiled from fire report forms that ask for the supposed cause to be entered which may be completed by an untrained fire officer. (Daèid 2004 , p.61. a) It can be very difficult to establish the cause of a fire due to most of the evidence being destroyed. There are various methods used in a fire investigation and these procedures are constantly improving. FIRE RISK FACTORS The recent forest fires in America have caused wide spread devastation and have proved very hard to bring under control. There will also be a large scale investigation to try and establish if the fires were started deliberately. House fires could be caused by carelessness by leaving burning candles unattended, not covering an open fire and smokers being careless with their materials. Electric blankets...

  • Haze: Causality and Forest Fires Essay

    ...Haze Open burning on a large scale causes the haze. The burning can be because of natural forest fires or irresponsible men burning a vast area for cultivation. When either one of these takes place, the smoke from the fires rises and spreads to the surrounding areas. It can even travel as far as the neighbouring countries. For example, when there was extensive open burning in Indonesia, the haze spread to Malaysia and Singapore. In these countries, the situation is further aggravated by the pollution from vehicles and factories. The haze is an unwelcome visitor. Its effects, which are manifold, affect human beings, animals as well as plants. The haze can cause health problems. People who suffer from asthma would experience breathing problems or their asthma may recur or become worse. The haze can also cause dry throats and result in flu or runny nose. Moreover, some people may come down with sore eyes (conjunctivitis). During this period of time, infants, young children and the elderly have to take precaution because their immune system is not strong enough to withstand the detrimental effects of the haze. Besides causing ill health, the haze can cause serious injuries or lives to be lost. This is because the haze obscures vision on the road or in the air. So if a motorist is not extra cautious, he may run into other motorists. This may result in serious injuries and even death. In the air, the haze can cause a collision if pilots lose...

  • Dorm Fire Safety Essay

    ...Fire Safety How can students prevent dorm fires? The answer to that question may seem simple but that doesn’t change the fact that residence hall fires are a growing problem in colleges across the nation. Students use of basic electronic cooking utensils such as microwaves, smoking products, candles or incense are all different entities that can start fires in dorms. Dorm room fires can lead to serious injury or possibly even death, but there are ways to prevent fires. Studies show that arson, cooking, smoking, open flame, electrical distribution, and appliances are the top causes of dorm fires in that order. When discussing residence hall fire safety one should consider how fires start, how they can be prevented, and possible physical injury (or property damage) to ensure a safe way of living. Since I’ve always considered a lit candle unimportant in the general scheme of things, I never truly realized (until I watched the fire safety video) how dangerous even a small flame can be. For me it was tough to realize that no matter how good it smells or how calming it may be, a lit candle still an open flame and even though it is not probable, something unexpected may happen and something could easily light on fire. I found the video off of one of the blogs that was posted on the website you sent. The video really opened...

  • Fire Behavior Essay

    ...Fire Behavior 1999 Worcester Fire This tragic event claimed the loss of six great men. Six firefighters paid the ultimate sacrifice for the people of both Worcester and Massachusetts. No matter race, creed, color, religion or reputation, firefighters are thoroughly trained and ready to put their lives on the line for another. There were few things that may have saved the lives of these men but no one can clearly decide that unless you were there and the one calling the shots. In this essay I will discuss the foundation of this fire growth and both positive and negative things I read about the occurring fire. At arrival, Chief McNamee made a very intelligent call by immediately elevating the fire to a second alarm. The old cold storage warehouse was just too massive for one company to fight. McNamee knew that this older building had been built in the early 1900’s and had been vacant since 1987. The exterior of the warehouse had few windows and was a brick faced. Combining these two factors, McNamee should have expected an odd layout of this building. Immediately he should have requested building plans of this structure. This would have given him the advantage of knowing how many floors and good idea of the proper layout of the building. This unknown made the rescue of two firefighters nearly impossible. The article seems as though the firefighting began from top to bottom. Ventilation was cut...
