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

  • 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...

  • Todd Willingham: Trial by Fire Essay

    ...Corsicana, Texas caught fire and three young children perished inside while the father, Todd Willingham who was asleep when the fire began, made it out alive. Willingham was convicted for murder by arson and later executed in February of 2004. Those are the facts but the question remains, did Texas execute an innocent man? I believe so. In this essay I will state my reasons for believing Todd Willingham was innocent at the time of his execution and give the reasons the opposition found him to be guilty. Todd Willingham was executed on the grounds that he committed arson. However, many aspects of the arson report have since been proved wrong such as the pour patterns found on the floor in the children’s room, hallway, and doorways indicating an ignition fluid. Modern science proves that the presence of pour patterns on the floor, in this case around the posts of the children’s bed, are not necessarily indicators of arson. Pour patterns have also been seen in fully developed accidental fires caused by radiant heating, melted plastics, or when the fire goes through flashover: the rapid spreading of fire through the air due to intense heat. (Beyler Report 1) It is likely that melting plastic, not lighter fluid sprayed by Willingham created the pour patterns created around the bottom of the bed. Without conducting a controlled experiment using a fire created with accelerant and a...

  • Fire and Baby Burn Pyromania Essay

    ...Burn Baby Burn Pyromania: "A morbid compulsion to set fires." (Macdonald 4) This term is often used to describe anyone who enjoys watching and setting fires, although the true meaning of the word is a psychological disorder. People affected by this disorder use fire to vent their anger or stress from their everyday life. They will set anything close at hand on fire and take pleasure in the way the fire dances around the object it is quickly smoldering and utterly destroying. A pyromaniac however, is not the same thing as an arsonist. The Pyromaniac has a mental disorder which usually begins at a very young age and gradually fades as the subject ages, or in some cases becomes more intense. Pyromania, also referred to as fire behavior, progresses through three stages and at each stage it has a chance to be stopped. The first of these stages is Fire Interest. Most children experience Fire Interest between the ages of three and five. The kids may ask questions about fire such as "Why is it so hot?" or "What makes a fire burn?" They also take interest in fire by playing with fire trucks or pretending to cook food on toy stoves. In the Juvenile Firesetter Intervention Handbook by Jessica Gaynor, Gaynor explains that "This type of play is healthy and provides children with ways to explore and understand...

  • Fire Essay

    ...flame Photo of a fire taken with a 1/4000th of a second exposure A flame is a mixture of reacting gases and solids emitting visible, infrared, and sometimes ultraviolet light, the frequency spectrum of which depends on the chemical composition of the burning material and intermediate reaction products. In many cases, such as the burning of organic matter, for example wood, or the incomplete combustion of gas, incandescent solid particles called soot produce the familiar red-orange glow of 'fire'. This light has a continuous spectrum. Complete combustion of gas has a dim blue color due to the emission of single-wavelength radiation from various electron transitions in the excited molecules formed in the flame. Usually oxygen is involved, but hydrogen burning in chlorine also produces a flame, producing hydrogen chloride (HCl). Other possible combinations producing flames, amongst many, are fluorine and hydrogen, and hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide. The glow of a flame is complex. Black-body radiation is emitted from soot, gas, and fuel particles, though the soot particles are too small to behave like perfect blackbodies. There is also photon emission by de-excited atoms and molecules in the gases. Much of the radiation is emitted in the visible and infrared bands. The color depends on temperature for the black-body radiation, and on chemical makeup for the emission spectra. The dominant color in a flame changes with temperature. The...
