Stuart Rojstaczer talks about how higher education in the United States has decreased substantially these days. High grades are very common among college students when they should not be that high. Schools are handing out easy A’s to those who do not deserve them, decreasing the quality of education. Even more astonishing is the fact that students are spending less time studying and more time drinking and partying, students are consuming more alcohol than ever and degrade in a really fast way. Also Stuart Rojstaczer talk about that in private schools grades are much higher than in public schools, but virtually everyone was experiencing grade inflation. In addition to that one more scientific evidence is high GPA of American students, because

On April 9th, 2014, The American Cancer Society sponsored Relay For Life in support of people who have battled cancer, who have lost loved ones, and who will continue to fight against the disease. This event was suitable for our Tobacco team because it allowed us to educationally campaign the harmful dangers that are correlated with smoking or chewing tobacco. After several meetings of preparing, our group was able to attend Relay For Life and achieve effective tobacco awareness activities, interactions, results, and analytical data. Beginning with our first activity, Dear Tobacco, our idea was to get students to actively participate in voicing their opinions/ experiences on the use of tobacco whether it is positive or negative by writing a letter to the tobacco companies. Preparing for Dear Tobacco was very simple because the only supplies needed were clipboards, paper, and pens. In the beginning, it was tricky attracting participant’s to complete the activity but as a group we had to make it clear that this was an activity where they could be known or unknown, positive or negative, explicit or implicit, and that they could write as short as a word or as long as an essay. The purpose of Dear Tobacco was to give the participants the opportunity to express their opinions/ experiences on tobacco without any restrictions. As students were doing their laps around the room, our group had to be creative but yet quick in how we could pull in the audience before they would walk right past us. Luckily, we had several chances so if anybody tried to disregard us, we would try something new and get them involved the next time they came around. Once one of our team members had their attention we would offer the Dear Tobacco activity and if the...
Tobacco companies have relied on the media to lure children. They quickly realized that ‘the company that dominates is that which most effectively targets young”(Imperial Tobacco document.) To counteract the idea of disease and other negative aspects of tobacco, the industry used imagery in the media such as natural settings and healthy actors doing active things. This helps them to insinuate that smoking leads to success, romance, sophistication and other advancements in their lifestyle, which was easily imprinted in the minds of children. A document found among Imperial tobacco files described their priority: “…having our imagery reach those non-reading young people who frequent malls should be our chief goal.”(1.170) Unaware of how important the under 18 market was to the industry, the government could only attempt to lengthen the distance between schools and billboards because they’re ineffective attempts were ignored by the large corporations. With many billboards concentrated in small areas it put the idea in children’s minds that smoking was socially acceptable and that t...
Smoking has been a major part of American culture since the end of the nineteenth century. While it made its most public debut while prohibition of alcohol was going on, it was seen as a negative thing just the same as drinking. With people beginning to feel negatively against smoking, as the same as drinking alcohol, it almost made the activity more popular. At this time there was a “rise in popularity in tobacco, especially in its new and most devious form, the cigarette” (Brandt, p.45).What brand a person smoked was all on preference, but the popularity of them was all on how it was advertised. It was known that a person “buys brands rather than cigarettes and it is the advertising that has built up this prestige in the consumers’ eyes for a particular product (Brandt, p. 78)”. One of the first main brands that became popular was Camel under the company of RJ Reynolds. Camel cigarettes were very successful and their advertisements are more than half the reason for it.

...people to educate themselves about tobacco disease and prevent current and non-current smokers from smoking. This is minorities people are not aware of tobacco’s health risk because of low level of education or low income are put under high stress. Also, low income that is usually a factor of lack of education, puts people in a lot of stress making them to reach for cigarettes more often. Therefore, all these reasons contribute to the fact that tobacco pictorial labels are not misleading and advances the interest of the government. Many research provides evidence of tobacco being harmful, showing government that smoking is a main factor of causing thousands of deaths in the United States and around the world. With all that said, one of the American Actors, Jeremy London said “A lot of people in my life are getting sick or potentially going to get sick from tobacco.”

In this article “Tobacco Advertisements Encouraging Smoking” the author claims that the advertisement makes cigarettes most successful product in American history. According to the office of the Surgeon General, in1998, tobacco companies spent 6.7 billion dollars on marketing (Williams.pp.50). We see the big poster on the wall and a hero demonstrates smoke as a good behavior in the move. As we look back to 2007 campaign for the feminine Camel No.9 brand, girls’ night parties, gift bags, and print ads in fashion magazines had a significant impact on teens. Indeed, tobacco companies have a strategic advertisement for consumers to smoke (Roman pp.1). However, I believe that the tobacco companies maintaining cigarettes ads in order to play role in people life to make a decision to smoke. As I see the three main reasons to start smoking; Advertising, Friends smoke, and Family members smoke.
