In her article “When Kids Play Across Gender Lines” CNN reporter, Emanuella Grinberg uses many elements to show why we should remove gender-specific toy marketing. Grinberg uses both fact and stories to develop her argument. Both of the stories Grinberg uses in her article support my argument that gender-specific marketing harms kids because it can ultimately lead to kids getting bullied. Her first story comes from author of Calling on Toy Retailers to Eliminate Gender-Based Marketing, Carrie Goldman. Grinberg then uses multiple points from Goldman’s book to support her argument.

Ellen Goodman, in her article “The Granny Voters, Getting out the Vote” (September 11, 2014), implies that nowadays, politicians attempt to gain favoritism from senior citizens by suggesting stereotypical ideas regarding their future, rather than their grandchildren’s. Goodman develops her point by heavily using pathos to highlight the value of children while asserting sarcastic remarks. Her purpose is to promote the message behind her newly formed group, “GrannyVoter”, in order to influence grandparents to publicly speak out their values beside “social security, prescription drugs, and medicine” and the changes they truly want to see. Goodman formulates an informal relationship with her audience of grandparents who are not pleased with the
I enjoyed reading this article because it was very informative about the program of intergenerational playgroup. Prior to this article I knew of IPP, but after reading about a research study and it is statistical evidence about how effective the program can be it is hard not to be interested. This article was a learning experience for me as a professional and as a person because I may not work with older adults right away after I graduate it gives me a good foundation. The population is growing older and older and you will come in contact with older adults sooner or later in life so it is important to have a wide variety of skills in that setting. All of the benefits that this particular program offers for older adults with and without dementia
One sweltering, stifling hot afternoon in July, I had the immense privilege of participating in Share-the-Lake Day as one of my first volunteer events being a member of the National Honor Society. Share-the-Lake Day is an annual sponsored event that offers nursing home inhabitants an outdoor lunch and a day out on the lake. I have always enjoyed spending time with elderly people because I find their wisdom and experience to be incredibly intriguing and fascinating.

Unfortunately, the eighty-seven percent of African American informal elder caregivers who do not self-identify as such may unintentionally hamper the receipt of much needed support from formal eldercare providers and health care professionals. Based on the lack of caregiver self-identification, formal eldercare providers and health care professionals may not acknowledge them in that capacity as well, and not consider the caregiver as part of the care recipients’ care team. If this is assumed by formal eldercare providers and health care professionals, this may trigger an appraisal that the African American elder caregiver has no decision-making authority concerning their care recipient, which may lead to marginalization. Another disadvantage
