Abstract
The paper discusses how there is a causal relationship between television advertising images and children, particularly in terms of psychological manipulation. The paper describes how televised ad images are carefully crafted in order to generate a strong desire for the product being marketed, a desire so powerful that it can best be described as a compulsion. The paper explains that children are especially vulnerable to marketing manipulation of this kind, because they lack the intellect and sophistication to understand that they are being targeted and manipulated on a psychological level.

Abstract
This paper explains that self-advocacy is the state of knowing what one wants, what one is entitled to, and how one can effectively craft a path that will lead one to accomplish one's own goals within the limitations of those entitlements. The author points out that the key to determining how well a student is serving as an advocate for himself or herself is first to understand the key dimensions that make up a person's ability to speak up for himself or herself and then to determine how to measure progress along each one of these vectors. The paper recommends that students who are learning to be an active part of the educational process and to serve as their own advocates should be able to demonstrate an increasing level of skill in areas such as communicating with others, identifying needed accommodations and supports, and expressing hopes and wants. Long quotes.

From the Paper
"This is one of the key issues that must be addressed: How does one serve as the most effective advocate for oneself without infringing the rights of others? This is one of the most difficult tasks that those working with special needs children and especially teachers face. School districts are designed (both in terms of culture as well as in terms of their ability to serve children with a range of abilities on a limited budget) to force parents to become aggressive to secure rights for their children. And once they become so aggressive, they are unable to find their footing on the very narrow line between advocacy and belligerence."

Abstract
This paper explains that J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is a well-crafted story, with incredibly detailed characters, and an adventure of epic proportions complete with magic spells and witches and wizards. The author points out that children are given a sense of hope because the protagonist Harry is portrayed as both an unassuming boy and a hero; when his parents were killed when he was a baby, grew up in an mentally abusive and physically neglected household and yet, he is finds out that not only is he a wizard, with powers beyond those of his horrible relatives but also the savior of the wizarding world. The paper relates that the story champions equal rights as in Hermione's cause to free the House Elves, who are slaves, and in the struggles of the half-blood of the wizarding world against the superior attitudes of some of the pure-blooded families.

From the Paper
"Of course, there are the exceptions to the rule, in Harry's world, just as there are in society in the real world. One pure-blooded family, the Weasleys, is looked down upon by the other pure-blooded families as they mix and mingle with those of impure blood. In fact, it's implied that the father of the family, Arthur Weasley, has been forced to stay at his lowly post within the government due to his support of those with impure blood. This can definitely be compared with the society bluebloods of the real world, who intermarry and socialize with only the right people. This hierarchy, of elite members, secures their station in life, at birth, and snubs their noises at those below them."

Abstract
This paper explains that the story of "The Lion King" is a serious drama with comic moments containing "real issues" of guilt, despair, alienation, and the need to take responsibility, which is similar to "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare, both of which are based on archetypal myth. The author points out that, whereas the animated film was tremendously popular and profitable, "The Lion King" stage play forever changed children's theater, stretching the boundaries of children's theater so that children's plays are now often very rich in content and in stage-craft and a little scary in places. The paper concludes that the success of "The Lion King" is that it not only entertains children but also leaves them with a moral template of loyalty, social responsibility and spirituality, which are pro-social values precious to society.

From the Paper
"Myths contain archetypal characters who speak to human beings at a deep level of consciousness. Simba and Hamlet are archetypes of the mythical child in exile. An archetype is an image that appears over and over in literature and myths and so is familiar to us all. The stories of Jesus, Moses, Buddha and Perseus (as well as Simba and Hamlet) all are about the mythical child in exile. Myths may not be literally true, but they contain essential truths, which resonate in the hearts of human beings. Myths always involve the "world of mystery and imagination, of feeling, participation and transformation...in the creation of order and of a secure reality out of darkness of the unknown.""

Abstract
This paper explains that Jean-Pierre Jeunet is a self taught filmmaker that treats the medium as an art form in which the details of the craft are just as important, or even more important, than the subject matter itself. The author points out that Jean-Pierre is one of few true film auteurs, who enjoys taking part in almost every aspect of filmmaking from writing the script, storyboarding, set design all the way through the editing process. The paper analyzes his films "Delicatessen" (1992), "City of Lost Children" (1995) and "A Very Long Engagement" (2005); however, the primary focus is on "Amelie" (2001), his most famous film and the first film he wrote and directed alone.

From the Paper
"While the look and style of his films come from several sources and could be highly debatable, the main themes and tone come from entirely different influences. In other words, while German expressionism can be spotted right away on the set of "Delicatessen" with its angular, shadowy and dark exteriors--neither the characters nor the overall tone of the movie goes along with the ideas of German expressionism. Satirical comedies and light heartedness do not coincide with the style of German expressionism or French new wave."

Abstract
This paper examines how "The Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Grahame is a popular story in part because it appeals to adults as well as children. It looks at how through skillful technique and deliberate attention to detail, Grahame crafts a world that is realistic and fantastical and how by giving the characters in this story human qualities and emotions, he successfully appeals to readers of any age. It analyzes Grahame's use of parallelism such as the personification of the animals and the representations of the river and the Wild Wood.

From the Paper
"Another aspect of the story that makes it appealing to adults as well as children is the idea of friendship, which again represents real life. The characters exhibit admirable qualities that all should aspire to at any age. They are friendly, hospitable, strong, and even painfully truthful when they need to be. Grahame does well to create characters that are different from each other, each with his own quirks and weaknesses that may remind us of people we know. For example, when Rat is tempted to run away with Sea Rat, Mole stops him because he looks in Rat's eyes and "saw that they were glazed and set and turned a streaked and shifting gray -- not his friend's eyes, but the eyes of some other animal!" (213). Mole also demonstrates true friendship by taking Rat's mind off of his wanderings and encouraging him to write."

Abstract
The writer notes that although the multibillion dollar industry of chocolate has thousands of different products to offer, this essay focuses on only two of them: Milka Chocolate and Ferrero Rocher. The writer points out that both Milka and Ferrero are products created by international companies which have excelled in producing highly superior chocolate for over a century. The writer then discusses that the similarities between the two brands, however, end there, mainly because they have chosen two very different market segments. Both have carefully crafted, unique images. Milka is presented as one of the best chocolates for children and young people having milk as one of its main ingredients, while Ferrero Rocher is shown as the embodiment of refined almost, elitist-like chocolate, suited only for celebrations or special occasions. Additionally, the writer discusses how the companies gained these identities.

From the Paper
"Philippe Suchard is the Swiss who in 1824 first founded the Suchard Company and successfully produced this chocolate. However, it was not until the year 1890 that the milk was added into the chocolate's recipe, thus creating for the very first time Suchard's milk-chocolate. It took 11 more years, until 1901 for the brand Milka to be born. The very first paper used to wrap Milka in was purple presenting a picturesque image of the Alps, with a cow, having a bell around her neck, in the foreground. The name "Milka" has actually been created by using the two German words Milch (milk) and Kakao (Cocoa). Nowadays, Milka has the world-renowned package presenting the purple one of kind Milka cow, with the Alps in the background.
"It is said that a cow was chosen to promote the brand as it embodies better than any other animal the origin of the Milka brand."

Abstract
This paper explain that, when strategically analyzing cigarette advertising in Canadian, emphasis must be placed upon what could realistically be achieved given the range of conflicting interests of all of the stakeholders in this debate. The author points out that the Supreme Court of Canada in the mid-1990s struck down a carefully crafted Canadian government policy, which radically restricted advertising by tobacco companies. The paper stresses that any successful advertising strategy must form a balance between utility and rights. The author relates that the concept of rule utilitarianism is a normative ethical model that provides us with some guidance in developing a strategic approach. The paper states that this model suggests that the advertising must not only be considered in terms of pure utility but also in terms of what is practically achievable given the complex range of interested stakeholders.

From the Paper
"Within these parameters, a strategic approach would balance the utility to the Canadian public from less tobacco promotion with the rights of freedom of expression of the tobacco companies to sell their products. It would be likely, for example, that the courts would consider a ban on advertising in media where it may be easily encountered by minors/children to be an acceptable limitation on the tobacco companies' freedom of expression. For example, cigarette advertising could be banned from television, movies and radio, as these media have a considerable youth audience."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Hopis of the Three Mesas in northern Arizona were hunter-gatherers, but they began subsistence farming about 1200 years after they migrated northward from Mexico. They still are known for growing small, blue ears of corn without any irrigation. The author describes this matrilineal society, their pueblo homes, complex belief system and their dependency on tourism but not on gaming. The paper concludes that the peaceful Hopis are one of the few remaining traditional tribes in the United States, fiercely proud of their heritage and culture.

From the Paper
"The Hopis have a complex belief system, based on their cornfields and the growing season. They believe in over 300 different types of Kachinas, or spirits. They hand carve the Kachinas out of cottonwood roots and other woods and then decorate them with paint and handmade clothing. These Kachina dolls serve as toys for young girls, but they are also extremely popular with tourists who visit the mesas. Many of the Kachinas also participate in the elaborate dances and religious ceremonies held throughout the year."
