    People from the community and surrounding areas could welcome the chance to pull together and host a Christmas feast and auction. Dinners could be purchased at a nominal fee for individuals and families. Businesses from the area could be encouraged to join in and support the cause by donating items to auction after dinner and then we could hold a Christmas dance. Getting a local news personality to come in as auctioneer would definitely buy the event some mention on our local stations resulting in advertising the event. Because the XYZ Corporation has been meeting the needs of the medically indigent for three years now are we are recognized as a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization we could hold a joint fund raising activity with one of our affiliates such as United Way of America (Martin, 2001).

    Donating unwanted products to organizations that help people in times of need is undoubtedly a win-win for retailers. But as many companies have found, getting the right products to the right people isn’t always easy. Recipients have to be vetted, distribution has to be arranged, and goods often have to be tracked. Doing this project on your own can be time-intensive, frustrating and sometimes totally fruitless.…

    How Does Toys Affect Children

    Gender plays an important role in the way children are raised in today’s society. The common stereotype that feminine toys are for girls and masculine toys are for boys is prevalent, even with all of the political advancements our society has made to try to free the world from these stigmas. It starts as early as when a child is in the mother’s womb. Most women will celebrate the arrival of their bundle of joy with a baby shower. Pink colors will be used for baby girls and blues for baby boys. In toy stores you will find aisles filled with toys separated by gender: baby dolls for girls and action heroes for boys. During ages three to five children enter their peak playing ages where their minds are most vulnerable to absorb everything and anything at once. Due to a failing economy, many more families are depending on early childcare programs to care for their children while they are forced to have both parents enter the workforce. During this sensitive, and impressionable time in a…

    Monuments To Our Better Nature Analysis

    In Michael Byer’s Work “Monuments to Our Better Nature” he uses subjective descriptions to help us understand how magnificent he saw the National Mall as a child in comparison to his adult view. Both of his perspectives help us understand what experiences he has been through, and the changes they brought. As a child he takes time describing all the fascinating things he saw, and as an adult he feels nostalgic towards them. His title makes me feel that Byers as an adult he feels like, only the good things in history are represented but not the ones that can make us feel shame.…

    Child Development of Infant Toy

    We were given the assignment to create toy for a baby from things available in a home. I chose to create a toy for babies in the late infancy stage. My toys are “Noise shakers”. I took three water bottles, took off their wrappers, and in each one I added different things to create different sounds. In one bottle I put bells, in another bottle I put rice, and then in my 3rd bottle I added colorful craft beads. I filled all three bottles half way so there was room for the objects to move freely and create their different sounds. I then used something called Gorilla glue to attach the bottle caps. After that I covered the cap with two layers of colorful duct tape, so that it was extra secure, as well as adding color to the cap area. The age for this toy is 12 to 36 months. It falls in Piaget’s sensorimotor stage and the early part of the preoperational stage. Although this toy would not be for under 12 months or above 36 months. During the sensorimotor stage between 12 and 18 months “infants develop new behaviors that allow them to achieve their goals. Although the child still repeats actions over and over, now he does it with a planned variation to see what happened when I do this!” (P, 235/Levine). For example, the child will think, “when I shake this bottle I hear the sound”. This toy will stimulate the child’s senses; when the baby shakes it, it makes a sound. Also, these bottles have a soft but bumpy texture to the touch. This is important, because infants/young children take in information from their sense. This toy will encourage their growth of symbolic activity. When shaking these bottles, the young child will pretend they are different musical instruments; this is symbolic because they use one object to represent another. Piaget states that “During the Cognitive Development Theory stage 6 (18 months to 2 years)…
