Write a 5-6 paragraph essay that includes an introduction, a preview, three or four points, and a conclusion. You will be graded on your content, critical thinking, organization, and grammar/style.
If you decide to incorporate sources, they must be cited properly including APA in-text citations, and a reference list at the end. It is okay to include sources but NO MORE than three. Here is the prompt you will use to complete the assignment.
More and more critics argue that we should enact legislation that prevents corporations from bombarding our youth with advertising. Ads for junk food, fast food, and sodas encourage poor eating habits, and some people argue that ads for TV, film, and video games encourage violence and laziness, adding even further to America’s obesity problem.
Some even argue that constant exposure to fashion models encourages eating disorders in young women and girls who feel they aren’t attractive unless they are as skinny as the models.
Should advertising directed at children and teenagers be limited by government regulations? What problems do you see, and what solutions do you propose?
