Motivations: Climbing Mt McKinley

With my wide-rimmed cowboy-like hat and handkerchief across my face along with all kinds of weapons dangling from my harness I felt like an outlaw in the wild west. My gear jingled with each step and I could draw an ice screw like a handgun. We donned our packs and hitched our sleds and we were ready for battle. A battle with Mount McKinley. We buried two days worth of food at base camp and marked the cache with a bamboo wand and a flag provided by the Park Service with our name on it. We would use this food if we came back to Base Camp during a storm and had to wait a while for a flight out.

Adventures in Hiking and Biking

Few mountain names strike as much fear into the hearts of mountaineers as “The Peak Above the Nubble.” Some brave hikers even refer to it as “Trail-less, Nameless Peak.” Browsing the New England Hundred Highest Mountains list one day Eric and I came across this foreboding mountain and decided we would see what the hype is all about. We found out that old “Nubble Peak” had a

few tricks up its sleeve.

Through our bike ride from Alaska to Montana in 2008 we discovered that cycling is a good way to see the country. It’s four times faster than walking and it’s much stealthier than driving a car. You feel the sense of accomplishment of seeing the world by your own power instead of the power of gasoline. You don’t just see the scenery, you feel it. You sweat every uphill and roar down every downhill; you curse every rainstorm and cherish every tailwind. When you want to camp it’s easy: you find a flat spot and plunge into the bushes. If you’re good at “stealth camping” the only thing you actually need to pay for is food and the occasional bike part. After the summer of 2008 we were looking for the next spectacular place to go for a long ride…

Advertising to Children

Roy F. Fox, “Warning: Advertising May Be Hazardous to Your Health: Ads Pose a Threat to Physical, Emotional, Social, and Cultural Well-Being,” USA Today Magazine, November 2001. Copyright © 2001 by the Society for the Advancement of Education. Reproduced by permission

Roy F. Fox contends that advertising is harmful to the physical and social health of children. He argues that the thousands of commercials seen by children each year cause obesity and other health problems by encouraging the consumption of soda, candy, and high-fat foods. Furthermore, Fox maintains, advertisements help children develop negative values such as materialism and instant gratification. He concludes that schools, governments, and professional organizations must take steps to reduce the effects of advertising on children.

What inferences is Fox making about children?.

Questions to Think About

• What makes advertising and other forms of product promotion effective?
• What are your favorite brands of food, drinks, and clothes? Can you remember ads for those brands as well as for competing products? Did any of the ads help you develop a strong brand loyalty?
• Look at the clothing, accessories, makeup, skin color, and age of the actors and models who appear in major ads. Do these models look like people you would encounter in your own community? In what ways are they similar or different?

Since the 1950s,we have been conditioned to down more and more sweet soda. During that decade, standard soda containers held 6.5 ounces. Next came the 12-ounce can. Today, the line of massive machines in my campus office building—machines that are seductively curved, like that luscious bottle—sell only the 20-ounce size. Fast food outlets and convenience stores offer special deals for the "Double Gulp." I doubt, though, if most people can down 64 ounces in two swallows. Fox

Advertisers bombard us with powerful messages reflecting values, attitudes, and ideologies that are not always conducive to social and environmental health. These include, but are not limited to, valuing appearance over substance, instant gratification over delayed gratification, action over reflection, consumption over frugality and recycling, competition over cooperation, and materialism over spirituality.
