Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White Spot, a popular BC restaurant chain, solicits hamburger concepts from third and fourth grade students and one of the student’s ideas becomes a feature on the kids’ menu. Home Depot donates playground equipment to an elementary school, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony culminates in a community swathed in corporate swag, temporary tattoos, and a new “Home Depot song” written by a teacher and sung by the children. Kindergarten students return home with a school district-prescribed dental hygiene flyer featuring a maze leading to a tube of Crest toothpaste. Schools receive five cents for each flyer handed to a student. While commercialism has existed in our schools for over a century, the corporate invasion of our schools reached unprecedented heights in the 1990s and 2000s after two decades of federal funding cuts and an increasing tendency to apply business models to the education system. Constant cutbacks have left school trustees, administrators, teachers, and parents with difficult decisions about how to finance programs and support students. Meanwhile, studies on the impact of advertising and consumer culture on children make clear that the effects are harmful both to the individual child and the broader culture. Captive Audience explores this compelling history of branding the classroom in Canada.

Download or read book Ultimate Passive Income written by RD king and published by 大賢者外語. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Step-By-Step Guide Reveals How To Create Multiple Passive Income Streams And Make Money While You Sleep ... Newbie-Friendly… No Prior Online Experience Required! Earning a truly passive income is the end goal of the vast majority of internet marketers and you could very easily consider it to be an absolutely ideal situation in terms of finances and business. What is passive income? Simple: it means that you earn money without having to work. That doesn’t mean you haven’t worked for it though – it just means you’ve sewed your seeds so that you can profit long into the future. In other words, you invest some time and money into setting up a business model that is capable of ‘running itself’ and from then on, you reap the benefits. You might even continue to work on the business model in your spare time to scale it further, or to keep it going, but the point is that you don’t have to actively trade your time for money any more. Once you have a passive business model, you can literally continue to earn money while you’re sleeping. Working online increases your freedom to a great extent because it allows you to choose how and when you work. But if you’re providing a service to a client, then that’s still not true freedom. At the end of the day, if you take time off, you lose money. And you can still upset your clients and end up losing your means of income. But with passive income, you really do get to experience true freedom. Now you can choose to take the entire day off, or to refrain from working for the next week even and there will be no repercussions.

Download or read book Poverty and Health written by Kevin Michael Fitzpatrick and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of in-depth essays focused on the health issues facing the poorest populations in the United States as it relates to the common good of all Americans. Despite living in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, far too many low-income and no-income men, women, and children in this nation are without health insurance or health care. More than half of those financially bereft have a serious health problem, with poor children three to five times more likely to experience chronic health issues than their more affluent peers. This set is a compilation of writings that address the complex problem of poverty and health across location and population. Through two informative volumes, the authors examine key issues including health care delivery, access, and disparities among various disenfranchised populations. Leading experts explore the reciprocal relationship between economic disadvantage and poor health, and ponder potential solutions to cope with these challenges.
