company with its base on Billund, Denmark, and it is well known for the creator of Lego brand toys. The company was established in the year 1932 by Ole Kirk Christiansen. The word Lego is actually derived from the Danish words "leg godt", which means "play well". The word "lego" means "I put together" in Latin, and "I connect" or "I tie" in Italian.

I do believe that Mattel acted in a socially responsible and ethical manner. They issued recalls on the unsafe toys, apologized for the problems that arose with their toys and they acted quickly and aggressively to implement a stronger safety check system on their products. One thing they should have done differently was issuing the recalls sooner than they did though. I think the vendors that used the lead paint, Mattel and the government regulators that are supposed to be checking for safety…

of all, the toys you played with are now put away, most likely never to be used again. Of course, you don’t care. That creepy doll with those blinking eyes could be gone forever and you would probably be scared if you ever saw it again. But deep down there's that one toy we all wish we could play with again and not be looked upon as mentally ill. For me, that's Legos. Those fantastic little blocks of all shapes and sizes fueled my imagination as a young boy, and were by far the best toy ever…

I could hear the constant chatter of the teams solving problems, parents giving advice, and judges evaluating. Then, I picked it up and looked into its lifeless eyes as it looked back at me. “Let’s do this!” I said. As the judges approached, a nostalgic memory hit me… ...One rainy day, as the light pattering of rain on the windows complemented the rustling leaves of trees, there came a loud “Crash!". Startled and fearing the worst, my mother ran to the hallway to find the 4 year old me standing…

I do not play any video games what so ever now, unless they are silly puzzle games on my phone. My Fiancé, on the other hand will play video games all of the time. I guess I reached a point in my life where I am much too tired and focused on other things. Now thinking back to when I was much younger, I do remember playing video games constantly, and I even remember that I’d lock myself in my room for hours playing Crash Bandicoot: Warped. That video game took up a lot of my time on rainy days,…

1. Looking at commercial advertising of boy and girl’s toys; girl’s commercials played soft musical tune, while boy’s toy commercials had more of a rock and roll musical tune. Furthermore, the media enforced general roles to the viewers by only including males in boy’s toy commercials and females in girl’s toy commercials.
