Children Are Overexposed To Alcohol Advertising Underage drinking is an issue in the United States that isn’t caused by any one factor, but advertising receives most of the blame.

It appears that many people share your concerns with “volume of youth”, aka “youth bulge”. “The youth population bulge is often mentioned in discussions of youth unemployment and unrest in developing countries.” This concern is interesting to me. I believe I understand where this concern has been derived, but I don’t necessarily agree with the statement, “when young people don’t have enough legal opportunities they turn to illegal opportunities”. I don’t think there is a lack of “opportunities”, as much as there is an “expected entitlement” and lack of “education”?…

The American culture is fast paced and some citizens do not want to waste time making appointments at doctor offices when they…
