This is a major reason why I am not too keen on my little one watching so much television and cartoons as well as buying her cartoon themed clothing, bedding, toys etc. Even LEGO has jumped on the bandwagon, LEGO Wonderpets, LEGO Hello Kitty. Every time I go to the supermarket with my little one she wants a specific cereal, yogurt or ice cream just if it has a cartoon character on the packaging!!!
It's so true...If you're interested in more information about children and marketing and trying to avoid it there are lots of good books by Marion Nestle
I wanted a place dedicated to all the humanitarian and environmental issues that I come across daily. My goal with this blog is to help create awareness concerning issues of social/political injustices, poverty, human rights, the environment, sustainability, psychological and spiritual health. So if I can facilitate in that awareness, channel people's attention, educate, and organize these ideas and policies for my readers, I believe collectively we can change society and humanity for the better. Reflections will contain some of my own musings but for the most part I will be pooling and gathering ideas from other talented activists, organizations, and writers already leading the charge on these vital issues. The goal is to inspire an evolution; this is the era for change!
