Advertising to children - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • he type of advertisements focused on the youth market generally take on different forms from standard advertising to adults. Young people are more susceptible to product placements and tie-ins. For example fast food restaurants routinely offer toys connected to popular movies and a number of toy lines are created around successful existing television series. Coca-Cola paid $150,000,000 for the global tie-in marketing rights to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.[6] Advertiser also attempt to disguise ads so that children will spend more time looking at them. Quaker Oatmeal had a series of ads published in 4 children's magazines that appeared to be Popeye comics and the Seventeen Magazine "Ask Loren" column of the 1980s, a supposed beauty advice column, were really ads for Epilady brand products.

  • After rodents, bats are the most numerous mammals on earth.
  • Males have a bright orange ruff and wings are black, which contrast with the tawny body fur.
  • African bats fall into two major categories large fruit bats and smaller, insect-eating bats, none of which attack people.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Bats are primarily found in forests and savannas. Colonies of bats roost together in tall trees.
  • In some parts of Africa straw-colored fruit bats are considered a delicacy. Elsewhere they are considered pests and killed to prevent the destruction of fruit crops. Studies, however, have shown that bats only eat very ripe and unmarketable fruit and may even help reduce fungi and fruit flies in commercial plantations. Bats are also slaughtered because of superstitions and the musky odors and noise emanating from their roosting places.
  • Bats, like most wild animals, will bite if handled, but if left alone they normally will avoid contact.
  • Bats are versatile. The insect-eating type is a natural pesticide. Bat excrement, called guano, is sold as fertilizer. And seed dispersal and pollination activities of certain bats help tropical forests survive.

Japan - Migration - 0 views

  • During Japan's economic development in the twentieth century, and especially during the 1950s and 1960s, migration was characterized by urbanization as people from rural areas in increasing numbers moved to the larger metropolitan areas in search of better jobs and education.
  • In the 1980s, government policy provided support for new urban development away from the large cities, particularly Tokyo, and assisted regional cities to attract young people to live and work there.
  • This pattern suggests a process of suburbanization, people moving away from the cities for affordable housing but still commuting there for work and recreation, rather than a true decentralization.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Japanese economic success has led to an increase in certain types of external migration. In 1990 about 11 million Japanese went abroad.
  • As the government and private corporations have stressed internationalization, greater numbers of individuals have been directly affected, decreasing Japan's historically claimed insularity
  • By the late 1980s, these problems, particularly the bullying of returnee children in the schools, had become a major public issue both in Japan and in Japanese communities abroad.
