ENGINEERING AN IMAGE

Engineering an Image: Smoking and the Youth Market
Thesis statement -

Tobacco companies have traditionally played on the desire of young people to project an image in order to create a continual supply of customers. Advertising for cigarettes and other tobacco products has, over the years, sought to ingrain in young people (and others) a sense that smoking reflects desirable qualities, ranging from sophisticated and chic (i.e. Virginia Slims) to manly and independent (Marlboro). This manipulation of an important aspect of human development – the search for identity – is ruthless and exploitative, and is emblematic of a dark streak in America’s ...

The nervous system evolves to motivate and reinforces an individual to subconsciously eat sweet foods and other foods that may trigger such addictive behavior similar to that of alcohol addiction. In this research, Avena and colleagues attempt to find whether or not sugar should be included in the ranks of heroin and cocaine that could also lead to a natural form of addiction. Avena and colleagues contend that food addiction may be a plausible explanation to explain how the brain pathways evolved in response to natural reinforcements that are activated in the same vein that pathways for narcotics are also activated. ...

On the other hand, the opponents believe that, marijuana is an outlawed substance, which should not be allowed in the United States. Nevertheless, different states have taken similarly contradicting stands on the issue and have independently allowed or disallowed marijuana based on different ...

Historically, the idea of the deep state is described in the Turkish political structure where a powerful military would intervene in matters of a democratic government. In fact, the military served as an oversight for the government because it would take control, in its view, when the leaders overstretched their mandate on issues of Islam. The same concept of deep state is evident in the modern Egypt where the military rules indirectly through the influence it has over the elected leadership. In essence, Egypt’s deep state is characterized with a dominating military supported by other branches such as the police, the ...

Everywhere I go I encounter children who are obese. Obesity is one of the most widespread nutritional complications today with 17 % of children being said to be obese (Jelalian and Steele 11). I think it is very important that we address this issue and explore avenues through which it can be curtailed because the future of our society is in jeopardy. What information is available on the causes, consequences and remedial measures of child obesity? If this information is available, why is child obesity on the rise?

Of this $141 million came from the oil and gas industry, and overall these industries were the ...

Undisputedly, social identity has a psychological dimension. However, in the sociological imagination, Wright Mills explains that ‘neither the life of an individual nor the history of society can be understood without understanding both’ (Mills, 1959). Therefore, when exploring social identity it is vital to assess the social and cultural factors that shape an individual in the milieu that it is fashioned in the contemporary society. This means that, we must look at both the power the individual has to exercise agency and the structure, or society into which they are born; the society, which already exist.
Sociologist Emile Durkheim ...

Their ordinances and legislations’ laxity against the spread of second hand smoke are evidenced by the fact that smoking in public places are not yet fully enforced.
