Political information, gender and the vote: the differential impact of organizations, p... - 0 views

  •  
    This article addresses men and women in political coverage and the media. When women make decision about who to vote for, they rely more on their close relatives and friends, while men rely more on the media and other coverage. Men, especially when younger pay more attention to the media and read the news paper for political information versus women. The researches conducts a survey in which it shows women are tended to be more democratic than men so this can affect the way they choose to vote. This article will be useful to my research because it shows how men and women use different forms of literacy to vote. This is an outside perspective and it allows a researcher to see the other side of the voting process. This article also proves the point women tend to be more democratic, which can mean if a women is running as a Republican, they are less likely to attract women voters.

Inequality In Obesigenic Environments: Fast Food Density in New York City - 0 views

  •  
    Kwate's research primarily served to analyze the density of fast-food restaurants in New York City with a focus on the correlations of race and economic status or income on restaurant density. This research is especially beneficial to me because the data from this source is from the perspective of a United States major city. Results from this study showed that there were more restaurants in black areas than there were in white areas. Also economic status or income of the population did not seem to have a correlation with fast-food restaurant density.

Literally Literacy - 0 views

  •  
    Literacy is a continuous, multidimensional indicator of proficiency in using written language. This essay reviews several recent books on literacy, and suggests some profound theoretical issues about consumer behavior inspired by a sociocultural perspective on literacy. In particular, ties between literacy and six diverse research programs on consumer behavior are highlighted: responses to persuasion; affect and decision making; the meanings of products and brands; social marketing of health behaviors; consumption, identity, and resistance; and the impact of the internet on consumer behavior. In addition, questions both interesting and troubling about the impact of consumption on literacy are raised in the hope of encouraging future research. (Abstract taken from JSTOR.)

Uncovering Literacy Narratives through Children's Drawings - 0 views

  •  
    Children's drawings about reading and writing have unrealized potential for helping uncover the literacy narratives students bring to school and use to make sense of reading and writing. In this article, we highlight how one boy's drawing about literacy revealed his interpretation of his school's policy on violence as a topic of writing, which tended to constrain his interest in writing. His drawing reinforced the importance of adopting multiple perspectives to interpret the various texts that students produce. (Abstract taken from JSTOR.)
