... arguments of lawmakers say one way to curb drinking is to ban advertisements and promotions.(paul 105) To most young adults the advertisements woos them into wanting to drink. For example; if they came out with a new alcoholic beverages would you know that it was there if it wasn’t advertised on T.V? Think about where did you hear about your favorite restaurant ? Most likely you heard about it on your television show between your favorite shows!! Two federal reporters recommended that alcohol advertisements should be band or severely limited because of the effect that it has on people( alcohol). Another reason that T.V advertisement has effects on it’s viewers th ...

... race. However, President Clinton and several organizations -- including the National Multicultural Institute, whose main focus is to "sort out the jumble of expectations and fears that swirl around the initiative's struggle to reconcile ethnicity and difference with the notion of one American nation" (Green, 1998; PG) -- are pushing hard to mend racial tension with a comprehensive program that is designed to bring all races together. Will it work? Or will minorities look upon the effort as nothing more than a Band-Aid covering a much larger issue? To some extent, concepts such as affirmative action have their place in society, yet they will do nothing to alte ...

... to receive a job, you get it, but that is no longer the case. Now, in order to be employed, qualifications do not always matter as much as the color of a person's skin or his ethnicity. In dealing with this subject, the first question that is always asked is, "What is wrong with quotas? What is wrong with companies hiring a variety of blacks, Hispanics, women, and white males?" The problem is not with hiring a variety of people from different ethnic groups. The problem begins when the person who is best qualified for a job, loses the position to someone less qualified. More and more, white males are having problems finding jobs because they are not black or His ...

... According to a 1990 census, forgien born males have a 77% labor force participation. Now, compare that to the 74% participation of native-born Americans and you see that immigrants are not as lazy as some would have you believe. 5.1% of working age immigrants, the majority of which were legally admitted, recieve welfare benefits. 5.3% of working age, native born Americans also recieve welfare benefits . Immigrants, both legal and illegal, are the minority of those recieving welfare and are not the only ones recieving it as the facts show. Immigrants, even undocumented ones are not causing unemployment for legal citizens. The INS says that there are 1.25% ...

... upon when we examine a quote from The Runner , a novel by Cynthia Voigt. "If there's one thing I can't tolerate Pete agreed "it's an uppity nigger."2 We can see that Bullet, a cross country runner is talking to a team-mate named Pete. It is indisputable that Pete has some antagonism towards blacks. He treats them with very little respect and uses the racist term "nigger." This helps to justify that blacks are treated with considerably less appreciation than other races of people. Let us also look at the fact that blacks are often socially outcasted because of their race. We see this in The Runner. "You're telling me you won't work with him because he's a ...

... behaviour towards substitutes hold a similar position. If a consumer's preference for the most preferred alternative product declines or the product is currently unavailable, the consumer is expected to choose a close substitute. From the firm's strategic point of view, this means that the marketer of a secondary brand should make its brand similar to the most popular brand. Careful consideration of the preceding description of consumer choice behaviour and the firm's selection of a strategy immediately leads one to question the general applicability of these assumption / thought. Although consumers often display stable preferences, sound choice behaviour ...

... the police arrested them. After they were acquitted their reputations were ruined. They probably couldn't get a job anywhere. Another sign that there was racism prominent in America, the land of the free, is that the African-Americans had to sit in the back of the bus when there weren't even any white people on the bus. Rosa Parks was even arrested because she wouldn't give up her seat to a white person. She was in jail, but a year later a judge ruled against segregation. One other proof of racism is segregation in school. Almost every white school had new books and lots of luxuries the black students could only dream of. It wasn't until 1954 that seg ...

... material, so that a younger audience can see the movie. Also, some movies are deemed inappropriate and theaters will not play them. Music is heavily censored, because some believe that music is the reason for most teen violence. They have stickers that are labeled ‘Explicit Lyrics’ pasted on them, or the bad word is simply ‘beeped’ out, along with that small portion of the song. It ruins the song. One band, the Insane Clown Posse was banned because of their lyrics, and their name. I may not list to the band, but I feel that others should be able to listen to them if they want to. Books are normally banned instead of censored. Sometimes, the inappropriate ...

... each day.” (http://www.cspinet.org/booze/alcyouth.htm.) Underage drinking has serious social, health, and economic consequences. It is a major factor in crime, violence, mental-health problems, and injuries including both those that are fatal and non-fatal. Unfortunately, these are problems that all of society will have to deal with. There are a number of reasons why teenagers feel the urge to drink. Social environment, peer influence, stress, and even factors such as media influence contribute to underage drinking. “Researchers have found that peer influence, a more subtle form of peer pressure, can be a powerful predictor of alcohol use among teens.” ( ...

... is not interpersonal if it involves too many people. When the number of people exceeds a certain amount it is no longer ,it then becomes mass communication. In my definition it is vital that feed- back be given to the person that is doing the communicating. When feedback is not present then the lines of communication break down and then there is no communication at all. Even if the message is perceived wrong still exists as long as the feedback is given. For example: when you talk to someone that is hard of hearing and you ask them to do something and they hear you say something other than what you said there is still , although it is miscommunication ...
