After listening to a video on "Can cartoons harm your kids brain" I found it very interesting that they say that cartoons can affect a child's weight size and their accomplishments in school. I think it is important that we also look at parenting in order for a child to become overweight someone has to feed them food that causes them to exceed the calories for their age and height. I must agree with Nickelodeon that there is no possible way that you can watch a show for nine minutes and determine the impact it has on a child. In order to get an accurate study, they should redo the study. After reading the article by Rita Rubin, the children was not diverse in color nor class. So, they need to correct this and add more children

    It also, goes to show that the things children are allowed to watch should be monitored. The reason for this is because even television producers know that they have an influence on the things children do in life. If they did not believe this they would have kept the cookie monster on Sesame Street. The effect of this change can be positive or negative. The negative side can come in when children or parents stop wanting to watch the show because the Cookie monster is no longer a part of it.…

The book is captured in four parts where the author uses both personal experience and impeccable research to describe past and modern society with similar environment and resources. According to Diamond, there are eight categories where past societies have undermined themselves by damaging their environment: deforestation and habitat destruction, soil problems (erosion, salinization, and soil fertility losses), water management problems, overhunting, overfishing, effects of introduced species on native species, human population growth, and increase per capita impact of people.

    The historical non-fiction book I chose to read was Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, which was written by Jared Diamond. After reading the descriptions of the historical non-fiction books, the description of Collapse engrossed me the most. I was interested in the book because it explained how and why some of the most famous ancient and modern societies just fell apart and collapsed. In Jared Diamond’s book, he talks about societies that collapsed such as the ancient societies of the Maya, the Greenland Norse, the Easter Islanders and about modern societies such as Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and more. In the book, he analyzes the falls of these societies and explains their collapses by using his “five-point framework.”…

    The determination of children’s health outcomes and their precursors such as healthy eating, is a difficult process in which individuals must consider various academic resources to develop an appropriate perspective. However, it is in determining the value of these resources, regarding their impact on our understanding of early childhood health, where the problem lies. This review will critically assess the articles; ‘Food consumption patterns in preschool children,’ (Pabayo, Spence, Casey & Storey, 2012) and ‘Advertising and fictional media effects on healthy eating choices in early and later childhood,’ (Ferguson, Contreras & Kilburn, 2014) as well as the report, ‘Munch & Move: Evidence and Evaluation Summary,’ (Lockeridge, Innes-Hughes,…

    In “TV’s Negative Influence on Kids Reaffirmed” by Jeffrey M. McCall, he warns parents that too much television is bad for your kids. McCall says that recent studies confirm that kids who are saturated with television are damaged in many ways. McCall also states that kids who absorb a lot of media whether it be television, video games, or the internet are less likely to do well in school, less well-adjusted socially, and more likely to be overweight than kids who are low users of media. A separate study at the University of North Carolina found 12- to 14-year olds who watched television with high sexual content were twice as likely to have intercourse by age sixteen. McCall argues that television is a cultural legitimizer for kids and teen…

    Being an avid consumer of the media world and a lover of healthy foods, I believe that the banning of food ads can prevent childhood obesity. Although the media has a strong influence on people around the world, the effects that it has on the elder generations are different to which it has on the younger ones. This issue is interesting because the banning of food ads could very well be the stepping stone to providing children with a healthier lifestyle. However, banning non-nutritious ads is not the only change that would need to occur in order to prevent childhood obesity, but as well as changing the mindset of the people in these young ones lives which influence them. As technology becomes more and more popular and more foods ads begin to get released, the rate for childhood obesity begins to increase.…
