How does Advertisment hurt the kids you love?
Marketing to children is unfair: Kids are more vulnerable than adults. Their developing brains are no match for today’s invasive and sophisticated advertising.
It undermines parents: Getting children to nag is a common marketing strategy. And it works! Nagging accounts for one in three trips to fast food restaurants.
It glamorizes greed: The false message of advertising — that what we buy will make us happy — leads to excessive and unsustainable consumption.
It encourages unhealthy eating: How effective is junk food marketing? Very! Preschool children report that food in McDonald’s wrapping tastes better — even when it’s not from McDonald’s!
It glorifies violence: Research links media violence to aggression, desensitization and fear, yet violent movies, TV programs and video games are marketed to kids as young as preschoolers.
It distorts body image: From impossibly thin dolls to bulked up action figures to digitally enhanced fashion models, marketers sell kids on unhealthy physical aspirations.
It sexualizes kids:Even very young children are bombarded with graphic media and marketing that encourage girls to focus primarily on appearance and sex appeal.

All social groups and families can be considered speech communities meaning they have their own unique language. Reflect on the words you use in your groups of friends, coworkers, clubs, etc. and create a list of 15 WORDS that make up your own language. Discuss the origins of these words in your language and provide a definition for each of the words on the list. Internet, texting jargon, and acronyms can apply to this activity. LIST of 15 WORDS:
2. Consider the following quote, “Meaning is in people not words.” Describe the words on your list and how they relate to this quote. What happens when you use these words in other groups?

Dokoupil (“Is the onslaught making us crazy?”) asserts, that the Internet “encourages—and even promotes—insanity”. Provide evidence from his article that supports this contention. As a product (or victim!) of this technology, how do you personally relate to the findings? How does this relate to information in our textbook?
In addition to addressing the above, please feel free to note what struck you most in the readings and/or text re: mental illness. It’s a fascinating, important topic!

what are the effects of the 1964 Civil Rights Act on urban planning?
In: Psychology
Jodie and Mary were conjoined twins sharing a single heart and a single pair of lung. Without intervention, both would die within six months. If separated, Jodie would live but Mary would die immediately. The parents refused permission to operate, believing that it would be wrong to hasten Mary’s death. Devout Catholics, they said that “nature should take its course” and “If it’s God’s will that both our children should not survive then so be it.” After a court intervention, the operation was performed over the parents’ objection and as expected, Jodie lived and Mary died.
For the purposes of this discussion, we will assume that Jodie can go on to live a fairly normal life. This is not a case where Jodie’s death would not be a harm to her.
Also, we will be concerned with which course of action would be the right one, and not with who has the right to make the decision. Plausibly, the parents had that right and it was violated by the court. But we can still ask: What decision should the parents have made?
Utilitarians are consequentialists, and consequentialism itself is a hotly debated idea among moral philosophers. The idea that we should always act so as to bring about the best outcome is incredibly attractive, but many have found it to be very objectionable. Kantians, for example, are anti-consequentialists and would argue in this case that it is always wrong to sacrifice the life of one to save the life of another.
