- 23542: Tobacco Advertising and its Effects on Young People
- ... cigarettes are capable of to keep their industry alive and well. When kids were asked why they started smoking, they gave two contradictory reasons: They wanted to be a part of the crowd. Children don't want to be left out, they want to be wanted. If their peers are smoking then they will want to smoke too. They also wanted to reach out and rebel at the same time. When ... children are informed of the dangers cigarettes provide then they will prevent themselves from smoking. Identify family members who smoke and ask them to quit.

- 23544: Driving
- One of the greatest things that teenagers look forward to is getting their driverˇ¦s licence and getting the freedom to do whatever they want. Ever since graduated licensing began five years ago, on April 1,1994, many people have made good and bad comments about it. The government has ... it costs consumers less money, beacause fewer cars need to be repair. By having graduated licensing , there are fewer unexperienced young drivers on our roads. Also, insurance companies are a lot happier because they donˇ¦t suffer too much by having to pay out claims. If there are complications in getting a licence, then fewer people will take the test. They might consider taking public transportation, which is a very good ... cities, not on highways, and only during daytime hours.

They run to tanning salons so they can spare themselves the embarrassment of being seen white while working on their tan. But what these teens don't realize is that their tanning beds are not only more harmful than the sun but while technology is developing scientists are making the beds more dangerous than ever, while trying to give you a faster ... beach. "If the tan color is that important to a person," Dr. Siegle suggests the "tan-in-a-bottle products it stains the skin without damaging it".

I think the movie was much easier to follow than the story. Within the first twenty minutes of the movie, I noticed at least five differences, and I wasn’t really looking that hard for the differences. I found some similarities, but not as many as differences. One difference is that In the movie, the detective had an assistant. In the story, The detective was ... arsenic, and in the story it is a pistol. There are also a few similarities as well. For instance, In both the killers fool proof plan does not work. (It is ironic, because Agatha Christie’s own fool proof plan to kill her husband had failed years later.) Also, The wife is killed by the husband in both movie, and story. Another similarity is that the detective is the same. ...

We care so much about fitting in that we don t want to be different because we fear that nobody will like our true personalities.
