Calvert talks about how and why companies use specific marketing and advertising skills to promote sales and consumption to the youth.

    Although obesity is a very sensitive topic, it is a pressing issue in modern culture, and it is something we cannot ignore. Who is responsible for the health of America? Is it parents, teachers, or is it the responsibility of fast food marketers to properly inform their audience? Often the blame is shifted to other people and to other influences like billboards and commercials, but rarely is the individual held responsible for their health. Lawsuits and legal action try to shift the blame onto fast food restaurants and school cafeterias. Most people feel better if they can blame their poor health on anything other than themselves. Evidence shows that one’s childhood years have a huge impact on the health of the rest of their life, and usually the parents of overweight children are the most eager to shift blame onto fast food, school lunches, or marketing aimed at their children. The reality is that parents are responsible for educating their children on a healthy lifestyle and for showing them how to make the right choices.…

    One of our foundational insights in sociology is that our lived realities are constructed socially. We become human through a social process, and our understanding of the world is forever formed by these social experiences (Tepperman, Albanese & Curtis, 2014, p.114). In this paper, I argue that while consumerism predicts and ensures the growth of an economy, the commercialization of products marketed to children should enhance its regulations to better remedy our nations. In the first part of this paper I will explain how the output of marketing that is used on children is creating a conformed, consumer based generation, and to follow, I will explain how diverging from social expectations it is affecting children’s mental…

    American children today watch an estimated 25,000 to 40,000 television commercials per year, and the fast food industry spends about $4 billion on advertising to children annually (Shah 2). The marketing seems to be paying off. American children spend around $18 billion a year on fast food. Despite industry efforts to reduce marketing aimed at kids, researchers from the Rudd Center at Yale University found that in 2009, preschoolers saw 56% more ads than in 2007, and children age 6-11 saw 59% more ads (Melnick 3). It seems that fast food advertising does get young consumers to buy their products. Fast food ads affect children’s request for certain foods, which can put pressure on parents and instigate conflicts between parents and their children. Forty percent of parents reported that their child asked to go to a fast food restaurant at least once a week and eighty-four percent of them gave in (Melnick 4).…

    In my opinion, it is unethical to market to children and to exploit them as consumers from such an early age on. What makes children special is their ‘pure’ way of thinking: they are still untouched by everyday preoccupations and live life accordingly to their carefree and embellished perception. Children do not know the meaning of the words intrigue, greed, and hypocrisy. But by marketing to children, corporations entice materialistic desires and selfish behaviour children would not manifest as strongly if not confronted directly by these strategies. Marketers create a world of needs, desires and dreams around children which eventually leads to the classical supermarket scene all parents fear: their kids starting to scream uncontrollably, tears streaming down their cheeks, suddenly throwing themselves down onto the ground, refusing to leave until the parent gives in to buying their object of desire. Even though this kind of behaviour is (to some extent) natural with children, marketing strategies clearly accentuate these uncontrolled outbursts, fostering consumer-related attitudes of materialism.…
