Mandell, Lewis, and Linda Schmid Klein. "The Impact of Financial Literacy Education on Subsequent Financial Behavior." Financial Counseling & Planning 20.1 (2009): 15-24. Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. 17 Nov. 2010.
This article will be fantastic as a counter argument to my paper. Every good paper needs some form of argument against to make the argument for even stronger. The journal is a study based on 79 high school students. These students in years prior had completed a course that dealt with managing their finances. The study showed that these kids were no smarter, or held any knowledge that other students didn't regarding financial literacy and spending. I thought that this journal was great because it showed that it might not even be the education that lead to poor spending. Also the students who took the course even noted that they did not spend their money in the right ways.
Hanson Ph.D., David J. "Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth: Its Objectives and Methods." Alcohol Abuse Prevention: Some Serious Problems. Web. 18 Nov. 2010.
Unlike almost all the other sources I have come across, this website is the devils advocate to all con arguments to alcohol advertising directed towards youth. It explains that CAMY (one of the largest contributors to standing up against these ads) is not being intellectually honest and how they use statistics to lie. The site is one of the few I could find on the pro argument towards the advertisements that minors are exposed.
A.D.A.M. "Autism." Google Health. Google. Web. 3 Nov. 2010. .
- This site just gives the basic medical diagnosis of Autism. I think in order to explain Autism's effects on literacy (or whatever you're doing), you need to first explain generally what Autism is. That way, you have a base on which to form your argument. If the person reading your paper has no prior knowledge of Autism, then they will be completely in the dark while reading it. The site gives a general medical overview of Autism's causes, symptoms, and treatments.
Hanson Ph.D., David J. "Alcohol Advertising Facts and Information." Alcohol Problems and Solutions. Web. 16 Nov. 2010.
David Hanson is a professor in the Sociology Department at State University of New York and created this site in 1997. He has been making new articles as well as updating his already existing articles to be current. The URL given here was the most helpful part about this site, it give links to numerous hyperlinks offering much information on a various topics from pro alcohol advertising to the con argument.
Russel, Lisa M. "The Effects of Text Messaging on English Grammar." EHow, 4 Jan. 2010. Web. 3 Nov. 2010.
Listed are the negative and positive effects of text messaging on English grammar. It gives examples on both sides of the argument of if technology does or does not affect literacy. This will help me whether I choose the positive or negative side for how technology affects literacy.
American Advertising Federation. "College Alcohol Advertising." Aaf.org. Apr. 2007. Web. 14 Nov. 2010.
The main concern of this article was to prohibit the playing of alcohol promoting commercials during college sporting games. As a government agency, it talks about their stance on the argument of commercials being geared towards minors and what information they have to support their claims. It also explains what issues are raised, what congress and the governmet is doing to stop this, as well as the problems that come with this particular issue.
American Academy of Family Physicians. "Alcohol Advertising and Youth (Position Paper)." Aafp.org. 2010. Web. 14 Nov. 2010.
Youth exposure to alcohol advertising, the targeting of youth, morbidity, mortality, and statistics are all key points in this document. Dates, age groups, money and legal issues are all talked about in this paper and using these in my essay will certainly bring out more credible information to this side of the argument. This source talks almost every main issue that has to do with underage drinking and teenagers. It gives convincing evidence that alcohol ads are being aimed at a crowd who isnt legal to consume them, but it also questions the morality of doing this by giving facts about alcohol related deaths in minors.
Garfield, Craig F., Paul J. Chung, and Paul J. Rathouz. "Alcohol Advertising in Magazines and Adolescent Readership." The Journal of the American Medical Association. Web. 14 Nov. 2010.
The most important thing about this journal entry is the table showing the age of its readers and the number of alcohol related ads that are in each magazine. While some magazines have very few, others like sports illustrated has one of the highest alcohol advertisement rate between 1997 and 2001. The statistics here are a well layed out mathmatically measured data that supports the argument of how alcohol companies are indeed placing their product in places that will most likely be veiwed by people who are underage.
Parsons, Tim, and Jarrett Carter. "Youth Exposure to Alcohol Ads in Magazines Declining." Camy.org. 10 Aug. 2010. Web. 16 Nov. 2010.
In another study by the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth, it says that alcohol advertisement in magazines directed towards youth is down 49% between 2001 and 2008. The study analyzes the percent of ads that once showed in magazines to how many are showed now, and what type of alcohol is being promoted. CAMY is explaing the progress that has been made since the begining of this injustice. The article gives CAMY's side of the argument through stats to show what changes have been made since 2001.
Center For Science in the Public Interest. "Alcohol Advertising, Televised Sports, and Underage Youth." Cspinet.org. Aug. 2007. Web. 18 Nov. 2010.
Televising alcohol during sporting games is highly effective to market your product to a large group of minors. It explains how many younger athletes and fans watch college sporting events and alcoholic companies spent over fifty two million dollars on advertising on commercial breaks. This doesnt mean its only appeals to underage viewers, many legal consumers also watch college sports which makes a good argument for the people who are trying to get thier product advertised during these games. This site also talks about other ways ads reach minors and what effects and influences are given based of a number of statistics.
