...September, 2014 The toys in the 1970s were a big propaganda tool for new generations. For instance they had commercials of them cooking in kitchens. Elizabeth sweet stated “Gender has always played a role in the in the world of toys.” (Sweet). Which personally I think is true, but why should gender play a role in the world of toys? When kids go to the store they don’t care whether the toys they want are together or separated by gender. They just care about getting the toy they want. “Individuals are born sexed but not gendered, and they have to be taught to be masculine or feminine.” (Lorber). Parents make their kids masculine or feminine by telling their kids what toys they can get and what toys they can’t get. No parent wants their son or daughter playing with toys from the opposite sex. So toy stores separate their toys because, stores know they can make more money by selling the same toy, but in a different aisle of gender. There’s been a study on parental toy purchases on parents leaving toy stores right after they buy toys for their kids; it’s been said that they’ve bought their kids the toys they did because there kids asked them for the toy. If this study is correct, I don’t believe that toys need to be segregated by gender. If parents just end up buying the toy their kids want. Taking kids to a toy stores and having them pick toys or picking toys for them is sexist and it’s gendering. Having worked at a toy store and having to separate toys for boys and girls, makes...

...favourite colour is, and chances are she'll shout "pink". Toy aisles and clothing rails are packed with this shade, but is nothing but pink for girls harmful? How different it was in the early 1900s, when blue was for girls and pink for boys. Any colour so long as it's pink | The Women's Journal explained it thus: "That pink being a more decided and stronger colour, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl." DressMaker magazine agreed. "The preferred colour to dress young boys in is pink. Blue is reserved for girls as it is considered paler, and the more dainty of the two colours, and pink is thought to be stronger (akin to red)." Rkgnifnviovn hree years ago, while she was on maternity leave, Ros Ball and her partner, James, began a diary of their children's lives. Their daughter Josie was three and their son Clem three months old. They wanted to record the moments when their children were made aware of gender stereotypes; when they were directed towards a view of the world in which girls and boys inhabit separate, rigid spheres of pink and blue – the first sphere passive, pretty and gentle, the second aggressive, active and strong. The results were tweeted under the title Baby Gender Diary, and Ball, a broadcast journalist who lives in London, couldn't believe how much there was to write about. On the first day, they went to a pantomime with a toy stall, where Josie's older male cousins directed her straight...

...Sorting Wooden Toy The toy I chose was the shape sorting wooden toy. This toy is for 2 to 3 year olds, in the basic version of the shape sorter consists of the wooden or plastic cubes or balls with different shaped cut outs, along with three dimensional shapes to fit correspondingly shaped holes. This toy is educational for this age group because with this toy it helps children with early mathematical skills and teaches the child how to learn about problem solving skills. For example, when a child attempts to fit a triangle into a circular hole and it does not fit, they then stop trying to fit it in that hole and moves to another hole. The wooden shape sorting toy is developmentally appropriate because it helps kids become familiar with their shapes and color, also it helps develop the smaller muscles in a child’s hands and feet which helps with movement and coordination. When a child picks up different shape in their hands, turns them over, and tries to fit them into the corresponding hole this is called fine motor skills. The wooden shape sorter is very appealing to children because of the bright bold colors; the manufactures make this toy with bright colors because it keeps a child’s attention and makes them wonder what this objects is, and what also makes I appealing is because of the shapes, since children at this age curiosity is at its peak they will want to know why this object feels the way it does and how does it work. A parent would select this toy for their child...

...Wheels Hearing the commercial “Hot Wheels” is an attention catcher. Growing up as little boy, all I had were toy cars. That’s what the majority of kids had as a child, their toy cars which were hot wheels. When I went to the park, I would see other kids play with their toy cars and scream “Hot Wheels!” Hot wheels would be in commercials during every kids show from Nickelodeon, Disney, KTLA Saturday mornings. When I see a Hot Wheels commercial, I see nice cars going in extreme speeds and crashing into one another thinking that it was okay to do so. This toy brand does a great job in persuading little boys to get this type of toy. When Lin talks about Barbie and how every little girl wants it due to the marketing of Mattel, “Constantly feeding the public with newer shinier toys, the Barbie enterprise illustrates America’s propensity for consumerism. Upon close examination, Barbie products foster materialism in young females through both their overwhelmingly large selection and their ability to create a financially carefree world for children, sending the message that excessive consumption is acceptable. This consequently perpetuates the misassumption that ‘ the American economy is an endlessly fertile continent whose boundaries never need be reached”. I agree with what Lin is saying because Mattel does a great job to persuade kids get their product thinking that it’s okay to have more. Every Saturday morning I woke up trying to watch my favorite show like Yu-Gi-Oh. None of...

...Everyone has a toy that they loved to play with while they were growing up. However, most did not realize that these toys were building blocks for their development. There are numerous toys that are being sold in stores, like Toys R Us and Babies R Us that are amazing for kids. Toys are able to stimulate perceptual abilities, motor skills, etc. with bright lights, animal sounds, bright colors, and various shapes. The toys I picked to analyze are, Fisher-Price Bright Beats Dance & Move Beatbo, VTech Busy Time Activity Cube, Fisher-Price Classic Xylophone, and Fisher-Price Wood 40-Piece Learn and Grow Blocks. The Fisher-Price Bright Beats Dance & Move Beatbo is a very colorful and interactive toy. This toy is for the age’s 9-36 months. I believe this is an...

...Toy project (Part One) When it comes down to choosing toys for children it is a very important responsibility for the childcare provider or parent to make sure they select an appropriate but useful toy. Although there is a great number of toys available to children not only in their homes but also in child care settings, after doing my research I found that there are many toys that are inappropriate or dangerous for children. However, I believe the need for open-ended opportunities is great, because toys give young children supportive play, which I believe is an essential element in child development, I also believe that the variety can be very dangerous if not selected properly. While doing my research I came across this list of things that you should take into consideration before purchasing a toy. Note: This list of guidelines was first published by the author in Chapter 15: Choosing Appropriate Toys for Young Children in A Right to Play (1993).] 1. The toy is developmentally appropriate. • Challenging but not frustrating • Appropriate level of complexity 2. The toy can be approached from a variety of levels. • Variety of developmental stages addressed 3. Toy is safe for intended age group. • Passes choke test (for infants through three-year-olds) • No sharp edges • No danger of suffocation 4. Toy is durable and intended for extended use. 5. Toy is appealing to children. 6. Toy is appropriate for intended use at home or child care center...

...month, Penn begins marketing its familiar, fuzzy orbs to some undeniably loyal customers: dogs. R.P. Fetchem's is a traditional tennis ball that has been gussied up as a ``natural felt fetch toy'' for pooches. ``Ten times more people own pets than play tennis,'' explains Penn President Gregg R. Weida, owner of a schnauzer named Jake. NO DYES. Penn is teaching an old ball new marketing tricks--and hoping to bounce its estimated $70 million in sales up by 5% to 10%. For the benefit of four-legged consumers, Penn has made the balls dye-free. They sport the Ralston Purina Co. logo, thanks to a licensing deal with the dog-food giant. The biggest change is the price: $4 to $5 for a can of two Fetchem's vs. $2.50 for three old-fashioned tennis balls. That hasn't deterred retailers. [pic]PetsMart Inc. will test them, ordering 400 cases for its 413 stores. ``The fact that it's got the Ralston name and the natural felt are pluses,'' says Greg Forquer, [pic]PetsMart vice-president for merchandising. But that won't attract more tennis players. For Penn--a small Phoenix-based division of chemical and defense conglomerate [pic]GenCorp Inc.--making a move into dog toys may be one indication that tennis shows no imminent signs of a comeback. The game has a base of 5 million hard-core players, but it's losing the weekend whackers, explains Brad Patterson, executive director of the Tennis Industry Assn....

...see employees forcing people into their restaurant? I sure don’t. In today’s society people are upset with their weight gain but still decide to go to eat at fast food restaurants and blame it on many other things but themselves. It’s not only that they eat fast food it’s how they choice what they eat on the menu. “McDonald’s food can fit into a healthy, well-balanced diet based upon the choice and variety available on our menu.” –Lisa Howard, McDonald’s spokeswoman. People take their own decisions into consideration when they step up to order their food. They could order something that could fit in their daily healthy diet like Lisa said, but eating this so much to the point where it’s a risk to your health and weight then that’s your own responsibility. “The analysts stress the importance of personal responsibility in preventing obesity, maintaining that there is no justification for criticizing McDonalds because ultimately a person can blame no one but him or herself for becoming obese.” It could be as simple as self control. Children’s obesity can be another issue brought together in blame of McDonalds. When a family walks into a store, it could be seen as the same environment as possibly a fast food restaurant. There are many toys/junk food and things there to catch the eye of a...

...Toy World, Inc. is a company that manufactures plastic toys for children. It creates toys of many different areas including toy cars, trucks, construction equipment, rockets, spaceships, animals, rockets, etc. The company as a whole has been doing quite well since it opened in 1990 and has experience profitability since early 1993. Although they have been doing satisfactory, there is always room for improvement. They are currently pondering the idea of switching their scheduling production from seasonal to a more level production. It is believed that by switching it will save the company substantial amount of funds and help reserve its factory equipment. Also, they are and need to find a solution to the current loan agreement they have with their bank to coincide with this new plan. Adopting a policy of level monthly production was the idea of Toy World Inc.’s Production manager, Mr. Hoffman. He has stated multiple issues with the current production schedule and exclaimed projected ideas & results with the new level policy. Current problems arising from the seasonal production schedule include overtime premiums reducing profits, seasonal expansion and contraction of the work force resulted in recruiting difficulties and high training/quality costs, machinery was idle for months at a time and subjected to heavy use, frequent set up changes in the machinery, confusion in scheduling runs, and frequent setup changes that resulted in inefficiencies in assembly and packaging...

...Martin Lynch 10/28/2013 SOC 3200 Getting Society Inside The culture that was instilled in me since I was born was two families, my mother’s and father’s. My father’s family is of Irish Catholic descent and my mother’s family is of Italian Catholic descent. I was born and raised on the Southside of Chicago and I do still refer to that beautiful city as home. All of my beliefs and values are a result of these two families, but as I have grown up it is amazing how similar they could be and how different they can be. I know for an absolute fact there are two values that are agreed on by the Irish and the Italians. Those would be an undying work ethic and a strong Christian foundation. I remember being five years old and my father saying, “You are either working hard or hardly working.” It was not just expected by my family to work hard, it was demanded. If you wanted money, you went out and got it. I was a golf caddy for about eight years and still to this day go when I need some extra cash and also worked at a Chili’s restaurant throughout high school while playing two sports and a member of the Honor Roll. My siblings and I were never allowed to leave the house until our homework and chores were done. It was an expectation by not just my parents but my family as a whole to be hard working productive members of society who respected their elders and treated people with the utmost respect. Growing up it was expected to go to church every Sunday and thank God for what...

...Once I was nine years old. One day I went to Wal-Mart with my mother and I wanted to look at the toys. "Hey Mother," I said "Yes?" My mom said. "May I please go look at the toys in the toy area?" I said. "You may just looking, we may not buy any toy," My mom said. "Ok, thank you mother," I said. So I started walking to the toy area, there were all these awesome toys and stuff. I was there for at least an hour, I was just there waiting for my mom to pick me up. I was getting exhausted from walking, and I didn't have a phone so I couldn't call her to ask her where she is. After another fifteen minutes, my mom had finally passed by the toys area with a cart filled with all this stuff for...

...Week 1 Assignment Discussion Questions RQ1. Describe three factors that would cause a company to continue doing business in traditional way s and avoid electronic commerce. This answer can be found on pages 15 and 16 and Table 1.5. If we start with the first reason, traditional commerce is well suited for the sales of impulse items that are for immediate use. For instance, I’ve been taking my son to his baseball games for the past few years and every time we have to stop for sunflower seeds. Not only are they an impulse purchase, but they are inexpensive and a “low value. This is reason number two. Items that are low-value transactions, under $10.00 are well suited for traditional commerce. The final reason is for the sales of unbranded goods. Now that makes sense because when you engaged in e-commerce, you can’t physically touch and feel the product, so your instincts will lead you to the brand you recognize. RQ2. Figure 1 -5 lists roommate-matching service as a type of business that is well-suited to a combination of electronic and traditional commerce. In one paragraph, describe the elements of this service that would be best handled using traditional commerce and explain why. I haven’t had a roommate for years, but for a matching service, it would be prudent to meet the person in real life. Profiles for any one online are traditionally self inflated and based on the subjectivity of the writer. But actually meeting the person in person, one can get a better feeling...
