The Importance Of Targeting Childreen In The US

Schlosser’s article, “Kid Kustomers”, discusses the highly popular topic of children being targeted by vicious advertisers. This topic is remarkably appropriate for today culture due to the abundance of advertisement thrown into every child, man and women’s everyday life. The rapid growth of advertisers and their plans to target children in order boost sales in a company has compelled the writer to cover this topic and discern the truth. Schlosser’s article educates readers in an effective manner due to, exceptional use of rhetorical appeals, the quality of information presented, and the tone and style he uses.

The point is children are people to who need extra protection rather than less than that of an adult.

In “Kid Kustomers” (2001) Eric Schlosser illustrates using various techniques used by advertisers in targeting children for business purposes. He uses various quotations from other authors and experts to support their facts and to show the emotional position though variation of degrees. It is worth to note that, he explores rhetorical strategy as a device to make the readers accept his arguments. Schlosser outlines his facts in a systematic logical approach.

No matter where children are or what they are doing they’ll always find some sort of advertisements. It can be when their casually watching television, reading a magazine or just playing games on their computer. Advertisements are different forms of communication whose purpose is to make their product known to the public. Marketers aren’t partial to certain people; they target anyone and every age group, but recently there has been an upsurge of advertisements aimed towards children. In Eric Schlosser’s article, Kid Kustomers, he demonstrates how child advertising has boomed by the tactics marketers use to get children to want and demand certain companies’ products.

Although it may be good for the economy I still don't believe that targeting children and exploiting them is the right direction to go.

In Chicago, 35 to 40 percent of children are likely to screen positive for behavioral/mental health risk developing according to current screenings(AAP, 2013). Additionally the crime rate and gang activity in the youth population has reached the highest point in the last 20 years(Gorner et al., 2016). This upsetting statistic can be linked to deteriorating quality of mental health care in Illinois. The two are directly related to one another because the adolescence brought up in a heavily affected crime area have little to no access to mental health care. As of a fact the state of Illinois closed down 6 of Chicago 's mental health care facilities in 2012 to consolidate care and the balance of the budget(Margaret, 2015). The

Ever since the Healthy Kids Act invaded school cafeterias across America the overall response from students was far from positive. What if I told you the new healthy school lunches were for the better as well? You’d probably think I’m crazy. I’m sure we all miss the big cinnamon rolls and greasy foods when used to get before the Healthy Kids Act. What we don’t realize is how those foods were effecting our youth. The healthy kids act was designed to stop childhood obesity, help kids learn to eat healthy, and also provide a better future for the Youth of America.

I interviewed Charles Blake of the Child Protective Services. The Child Protective Services is one of the state agencies dealing with issues relating to child and family. This is one of the oldest humanitarian organizations in the California. Established in 919, Child Protective Services is one organization that has been on the forefront in making positive changes in protecting children, championing for the interest of the family and ensuring that animals are not neglected or abused. Today, the agency is also involved in various research aimed at exploring the interactions between humans and animals and how such interactions can positively impact on the society. As the pioneer advocate for rights, Child Protective Services has been able to

I feel like the number one priority of parents is to keep them from harm. Children should have the right to enjoy their childhood; they shouldn’t have to worry about abuse, injury as well as violence. Each year, many children are victims of abuse and neglect. I feel like the Child Protection policy is all for protection the kids. The Government is dedicated to raising a protected and capable children’s workforce in keeping helpless children safe. I believe with support and guidance, people who work with children can recognize when something isn’t right with a child or their family.

It 's difficult to comprehend that an adult, often a parent or caregiver, would intentionally hurt an infant or child. Yet nearly a million children are abused in the United States. Unfortunately that excludes children who 's incidents of child abuse are unreported and undetected. Child abuse can be defined differently from state to state, but commonly presents in the form of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, neglect and abandonment. The focus of this review is physical abuse, which is defined as non-accidental physical injury, from bruising to fractures to the most serious cases of abuse ending in death (Sink, Hyman, Matheny, Georgopoulos & Kleinman, 2010).

In conclusion, the Healthy Children Program is a public policy involving a wide range of government and non-government actors in different processes in the complicated structure of health sector and government. The processes of policy are not considered to have influence of values and interests of different range of stakeholders but they are also complex in terms of internal and external factors. The influence of issues on the people specifically children and their families has become the complex concern as well as having nature as volatile and vague. The policy processes under consideration are concluded to evolve in more appropriate and adequate manner while addressing the relevant issues and consequences of obesity in children of age 5 to

The organization that I chose to analysis is the Save the Children Campaign. This organization relies heavily upon ethos and pathos to get support for their cause. This organization uses many means to get their point across to people. This organization uses the emotional appeal to their advantage and mostly they use this technique to get donations and volunteers. The use of credibility strategies has helped the organization also with receiving donations and getting people to volunteer. The mission of Save the Children is to create lasting, positive changes in the lives of children in need. Save the Children works to achieve this mission through community-based programs designed

In conclusion, the children's online privacy protection act, provides many advantages, such as not allowing websites to collect or use children's information that are under the age of 13, without a parental consent. Websites also need to include the requirement in their privacy policy. This act puts restrictions on the types and methods of marketing that targets children. This act also impacts some businesses, small business has gone out of business or stopped serving children under 13, because of COPPA. Many large companies like Disney and nickelodeon adhere to COPPA regulations, and are still able to continue to serve children.

The intangible resources are maternal capital (e.g., education, skills, knowledge), time, social status and place within the family structure, inter-household relations of child care and resource exchange. These intangible resources are relevant to children's vulnerability. First, higher-income people have a better education and live in better households. Education improves people's autonomy and decision making. For instance, educated women have higher authority and can make a better decision about their child's health. Low-income people have low levels of education and live in high-frequency homes, which influence the children's vulnerability in these households. Moreover, low educated people have a lower ability to understand diarrhea transmission

The Children’s Health Insurance program (CHIP) provides coverage for uninsured children of parents that are considered low-income. CHIP has a great impact on children’s health, providing access to preventative care such as dental and healthcare services. This program’s goal is to improve children’s health and provide quality of care. Families enrolled with CHIP are eligible for routine check ups, dental care, hospital care, and other services that fall under the state guidelines. Furthermore, this program has been lucrative and helped improve the wellness of children. However, the states can determine what families are eligible to receive along with benefits, and with uninsured kids, the
