Bubble Gum Benefit America

On the way back from school, Scout finds two pieces of chewing gum on a tree near the Radley Place. Being innocent of unknown food's danger, she eats it. Jem is aware of it, and requires Scout to spit it out, especially because it is found near the Radley Place. I notice that the brand of the chewing gum is Wrigley's Double-Mint. It is a well-known brand today, so is it in 1930s. It is the first kind of chewing gum that I met when I was young. Maybe the author feels the same and mentions it as a kind of humor or nostalgia.

re One reason kids should be allowed to chew gum at school.Chewing gum helps kids stay more focus at school. For example One study even showed that students who chew gum during a test scored higher than those who did not. Kids should be able to chew gum to pay more attention. “Experts even say that students do better in school because gum makes students more at ease”. Students do better in school with chewing gum because it helps them concentrate. Gum is helping kids think in school and work harder.

Also, gum could very easily destroy very expensive technology that we have the privilege to use at our school.

Chewing gum in school is a heated issue because many people think it is rude and messy. Others argue it can help students focus, improve memory when taking tests, and relax while doing schoolwork or a test. But the negative argument is misguided because the mess wouldn’t happen if students were allowed to have gum, and therefore throw it away without feeling guilty. Still, the actual question that should be debated is what the benefits of chewing gum in school are.

An increasing number of students today are showing more signs of anxiety, stress, and ADHD. A solution to the issue is allowing children to chew gum while in the classroom. Evidence shows that the process of chewing gum increases the blood flow to the brain and heart as well as increases saliva in the mouth, which gives the individual certain advantages. Students should be allowed to chew gum while in the classroom because they demonstrate increased memory and alertness, higher test scores and concentration, as well as decreased stress and anxiety (Pooley, Smith).

“I had never heard of chewing gum, so she went out and got me a whole pack. I pulled out a stick, took off the white paper and the shiny silver foil under it, and studied the powdery, putty-colored gum. I put it in my mouth and was stunned by the sharp sweetness,” Jeannette says at the very beginning of

Another, reason kids and students should be able to chew gum during school is it has also been scientifically proven to help improve the students memory. For example, when students are studying for a test it could help them remember what they studied about. Next, it can also help them remember what they learned that day during school thanks to they were

For my experiment I picked 3 different brands of bubble gums. Hubba Bubba gum, Bubble Yum and Bazooka. After chewing each piece of gum for 2 minutes, one at the time, I blow a bubble as big as I could. Then, my partner (my mom) measured and I write down the results. I repeated the same steps 3 times and results was collected in a data chart (see data chart # 1). Then, the average size of the bubble was calculated by adding each result and divided by 3. The average size of the bubble made from Hubba Bubba Gum was 3.8 cm, Bubble Yum was 3.5 cm and Bazooka was 3.3 cm. As a result of my experiment, I found that Hubba Bubba gum makes the biggest bubble (3.8 cm).

The final brand of bubble gum we tested was Bubblicious. Again, we followed the same process as the previous two brands of bubble gum. Each of us chewed a piece of gum for three minutes and then blew a bubble. The average bubble size for me with Bubblicious was 4.6cm. The average size for my Dad was 9.3cm and the average for my Mom was 6.6cm. The sugar content for Bubblicious is 6 grams per piece. Bubblicious was not as soft as Bubble Yum but not as hard to chew as Bazooka. None of us liked the flavor and was our least

If we chew different brands of bubble gums for the same time, then I think Hubba Bubba Gum will make the biggest bubble.

One reason why I believe gum should be allowed at school is because studies have proven that it increases grade point average. Baylor College of Medicine studied 108 eighth graders for 14 straight weeks. Half of them chewed gum during school work and homework while the other half didn’t. They noticed a three percent raise in the grades of those who chewed gum. If we were allowed to chew gum during school work and tests but then had to spit it out at the door when class was over, our grades would also have the chance to increase. For this reason I believe that chewing gum would be beneficial to students with memory problems that need a little extra boost to help them reach their full potential. This way teachers and students would both benefit for this new rule.

My first reason as to why we should be allowed to chew gum is because it can help certain people focus better. The more focused you are the more accurate and aware you are. Chewing gum also makes you answer questions far more quickly correctly. Finally, if you chew gum than you can focus longer meaning that you could take in more information. I usually have a hard time focusing so even if these

When you have gum in school it can make to much noise and you can distract

Tobacco, Smokes, Cancer Sticks, Chew, Dip, whatever you want to call it, has been poisoning the innards of individuals since the days of the prehistoric Mayas of Mexico at around 600 to 900 A.D. This tobacco craze would resume in the society of the American Indians and later to the European settlers. In the early seventeenth century, tobacco was the chief cash crop of America’s first colony, Jamestown Virginia. This crop would continue to flourish in throughout history. By the early 1900’s, The American Tobacco Company was the leading and most influential tobacco corporation. The game completely changed at the time of the two World Wars however. Soldiers began receiving free cigarettes and the industry began targeting women as potential costumers as they were gaining new rights and liberties in society at this time. In 1964, the cigarette empire began to see its decline when the Surgeon General of the U.S. wrote a report about the dangers of cigarette smoking. After this statement by “America’s doctor”, legislation did everything in their power to detour people form purchasing these harmful products. They have gone as far as to make tobacco companies label “caution” on their products. Tobacco companies have recently been having trouble selling their

Sitting in five classes a day for times ranging from 55 to 70 minutes, it is a battle of the will to stay on task. Whether distracted by the middle schoolers playing, carefree, on the green or the clicking of someone’s pen, it takes true willpower to not shift focus. What if there was a simple way to help students with this? It turns out, there is: gum. Kate Morgan, the author of a gum chewing study in British Journal of Psychology, proved that "Interestingly participants who didn't chew gum performed slightly better at the beginning of the task but were overtaken by the end. This suggests that chewing gum helps us focus on tasks that require continuous monitoring over a longer amount of time." It is a true enigma that despite scientific results, Episcopal still bans chewing gum in school. This year, a plethora of students have aimlessly drifted through never ending science and math
