...Television Is Affecting Children Negatively Larry Hering ENGL 101-B25 June 18, 2012 Gerald Spence Abstract Television and television advertising are effectively altering the way children think, act, and interact. Sedentary lifestyles are thought to be synonymous with watching too much television and childhood obesity has become a major issue in the United States. With all of the data and recommendations showing the negative affect television is causing, parents are in control of the issue right in their own homes. All that is needed is for them to assume responsibility. Television Is Affecting Children Negatively Over the last thirty years obesity has tripled in children ages 5 and up (Eaton, 2010). It is an epidemic that needs to be addressed in order to regain health among the nation’s children. While there is clearly more than one factor, technology has to take a major part of the blame along with parents. Children are spending too much time watching television and using systems such as Play Station and X-box. Computers are another source that takes away from activity Sedentary lifestyles are taking the place of wholesome activity-based play. Notice this child is sitting approximately three feet from the television and still uses a remote (see his left hand). His only activity appears to be eating potato chips and drinking soda. This image could be from any home in the country as sedentary lifestyles have become common. -based fun. Sedentary lifestyles...

...Television and Children In the last couple of years the growing concern over the effect of television on children has gripped the nation. Studies have shown that today’s shows on television have a negative effect on the social behavior on children, causing them, among other things, to be more hostile toward others, and interact less with others. While in the past, cartoons could have been an easy target by parents and other watchdogs on this issue, these days, other types of shows and programming have been culprits as well. The suggested solutions on how to remedy this stem from parents connecting with their children. As the saying goes, easy to say, but hard to do. In today’s busy world, parents often miss how big a presence television is in their children’s live. According to the University of Michigan Health System, “television viewing among kids is at an eight year high” (Boyse, 2010, para. 6). Children spend an average of 32 hours a week in front of the television, collectively from watching movies, playing videogames, or just watching shows on TV. As their parents get busier with work, children spend more time finding ways to entertain themselves, and the most obvious choice is the TV. Television executives are aware of this, of course, and today many shows are being geared toward babies and toddlers as opposed to past generations, making television the number one teacher in the early lives of these young ones. According to Jerry Odland (2004), “young children are spending...

...Fourier Transform and its applications Jatin Kumar Murray State University Abstract It has been widely recognized that waveforms are an integral part of the various universe phenomenon. Waveforms can be used to represent almost everything in the world. Therefore it is understandable that concepts related to waveforms or signals are extremely important as their applications exist in a broad variety of fields. The processes and ideas related to waveforms play a vital role in different areas of science and technology such as communications, optics, quantum mechanics, aeronautics, image processing to name a few. Even though the physical nature of signals might be completely different in various disciplines, all waveforms follow one fundamental principle; they can be represented by functions of one or more independent variables. This paper would focus on the concept of Fourier Transform, the technique through which signals can be deconstructed and represented as sum of various elementary signals. It briefly describes Linear Time Invariant systems and their response to superimposed signals. Fourier transform has many applications in physics and Engineering. This paper would also cover some of Fourier Transform applications in telecommunication and its impact on society. Introduction Some of the basic signals that exist in the world and are useful in various technology fields are continuous and discrete time...

...Agency Problems and Dividend Policies Around the World Rafael La Porta, Florencio Lopez-de-Silanes, Andrei Shleifer and Robert W. Vishny* January 1999 Abstract This paper outlines and tests two agency models of dividends. According to the “outcome” model, dividends are the result of effective pressure by minority shareholders to force corporate insiders to disgorge cash. According to the “substitute” model, insiders interested in issuing equity in the future choose to pay dividends to establish a reputation for decent treatment of minority shareholders. The first model predicts that stronger minority shareholder rights should be associated with higher dividend payouts; the second model predicts the opposite. Tests on a cross-section of 4,000 companies from 33 countries with different levels of minority shareholder rights support the outcome agency model of dividends. The authors are from Harvard University, Harvard University, Harvard University and University of Chicago, respectively. They are grateful to Alexander Aganin for excellent research assistance, and to Lucian Bebchuk, Mihir Desai, Edward Glaeser, Denis Gromb, Oliver Hart, James Hines, Kose John, James Poterba, Roberta Romano, Raghu Rajan, Lemma Senbet, René Stulz, Daniel Wolfenzohn, Luigi Zingales, and two anonymous referees for helpful comments. 2 The so-called dividend puzzle (Black 1976) has preoccupied the attention of financial economists at least since Modigliani and Miller’s (1958, 1961) seminal work...
