Document Summary
Capitalism- an economic system where trade and industries are privately owned (as opposed to state-owned) and are out there to make money. We all have our own stuff- it"s how capitalism works. Technology being part of what influences the other systems. If the gov"t doesn"t get too involved with trade, then the economy will thrive. You do the work, you keep the money. Increase in obesity- soda, candy, sugar cereal- if you see their advertisements, you"re more likely to want it. Kids want the stuff- and they"re more likely to eat it. For younger bodies, they need to be eating healthy foods more often. Kids don"t know they"re being persuaded, and they have to have it. In capitalism, there"s trickle-down effect, and all who advertise to kids are manipulating them, and it"s a problem because it"s there all the time. The thing you really want to have that you don"t need. Environmental problem- eventually, everything ends up in the dump.
