This study focused on the TV viewing habits of children ages 5 to 11 and 13 to 15. The researchers found that the amount of television children watched increased as they got older. They found that children who watch too much television when they are young are at increased risk for attention problems as teens. I can use this article to address one problem associated with children’s TV viewing.
Kuchment, Anna, and Christina Gillman. “Kids: To TV or Not TV.” Newsweek, 18 Feb. 2008. P. 60. Academic Search Complete. http:// eds.b.ebscohost.com/ehost/detail/detail?vid=14&sid=29d36405-50b3-4159-86d8-368ca2918422%40pdc-v-sessmgr05&bdata=JnNjb3BIPXNpdGU%3d#AN=29413213&db=19h Accessed 9 July 2019. This article acknowledges that studies have shown that children watching TV leads to obesity and attention problmes. However, since most children do watch TV on a regular basis, experts are now suggesting that instead of not allowing children to watch television, they should carefully select the programs the children watch to decrease the chances of negative consequences. The article lists the recommended amount of television watching children should be limited to based on age. The article is useful for offering a realistic solution to the extreme of eliminating all TV for children.

Awuah, Patrick. “How to educate leaders? Liberal arts.” TED, June 2007, https://www.tex.com/talks/patrick_awuah_how_to_educate_leaders_liberal_arts#t-155136. Accessed 17 September 2021. Patrick Awuah’s concern is with the transformation of leadership in Ghana. He begins his talk with multiple examples of poor decision-making on behalf of the people in power. He discusses specifically poorly equipped hospitals and over-privileged law enforcement agencies. At Swarthmore College, a small liberal arts school in the US, Awuah realized that it ws the Ghanaian leaders’ bad decisions that direly led the nation’s economy toward collapse. Awuah’s transformation at Swarthmore ws that he gained the ability to think critically, to approach problems analytically, to create. Awuah took issue with the way the education system in Ghana produced their elite leaders, equipping them with a sense of entitlement over one of the ethics. Owing so much to his liberal arts education, Awuah wishes to make a liberal arts education available across the sub-Saharan Africa with his own Ashesi University.
As the founder of Ashesi University and the recipient of a liberal arts education himself. Awuah has plenty of experience with and a vested interest in liberal arts; he insists it changed his life. Awuah’s talk was given at a TED Global official conference in Tanzania. TED aims to spread ideas in communities around the world, and they invite educators, researchers, activists, and other academics to attend their events. Awuah’s purpose, considering the TED audience, was then to inspire others to enact change through education. This source supports the theory higher education is more than linear job training, but should equip all graduates with the ability to be a higher-level thinker and problem solver, similar to John Henry Newman.
Indeed Editorial Team. “What Careers Are Most In-Demand Right Now?” Indeed Career Guide, Indeed. 23 Nov. 2020, https///www/indeed.com/career-advice/find-a-job/in-demand-careers. Accessed 7 Sept. 2021. The Indeed Editorial Team reasons that anyone seeking a job should monitor current trends for the best changes of being hired, and for this reason has compiled a list of the top fifteen most in-demand jobs, along with related information about duties, education, and salary. The jobs range from home health aide, nursing assistance, and construction worker, to physical therapist, information security analyst, statistician, and software developer. The Indeed team’s first five inclusions posed no post-high school requirements, but they also have lower salaries. The remaining higher-paid entries on the list required degrees ranging from Associate to Doctorate/Professional.
On Indeed.com, the Indeed Editorial Team reviews up-to-date content for job-seekers every day; therefore, the articles is aimed at those currently in the market for a job. In linking higher salaries with higher education requirements, the Indeed Editorial Team shows job applicants that a college education is necessary to land a good job with good money, which helps to support the theory that the purpose of higher education is job training. This source then shares the same outlook as Shai Reshef’s TED talk.

Cabrera, Laura. “Pesticides – A Case Domain for Environmental Neuroethics.” Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics, vol 26, no. 4, 2017, pp. 602-615. Cambridge Core, doi-org.lib-ezproxy.tamu.edu:9443/10.1017/S0963180117000111. Accessed 24 Oct. 20xx. This article “Pesticides – A Case Domain for Environmental Neuroethics,” discusses the various health hazards pesticides pose. The author discusses how the most vulnerable are the youngest and the oldest generations. Even indirect exposure to pesticides is devastating. The author argues that prenatal exposure to pesticides causes mental health effects on future generations. Drawing on numerous case studies, and evidence, Cabrera claims that pesticides are the culprit behind the failing central nervous systems of humans. Furthermore, she argues that due to the lack of resources and education, pesticides formulate a worse situation for developing nations. Regulations and restrictions are scarce in these countries, and to make things worse, warning labels and related information are not printed in the local languages. The author further argues for the human and environmental rights of future generations. She challenges the pesticide industry and demands risk assessment strategies be altered.This is a scholarly article that is backed up by a number of credible sources. The author of this article, Laura Y. Cabrera, is an expert in the field. She is an Assistant Professor with the Center for Ethics and Humanities in the Life Sciences, Translational Science & Molecular Medicine at Michigan State University. She holds a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Charles Sturt University, Australia. Her area of expertise includes studies on environmental changes, and their impact on the human brain and mental health. “Pesticides – A Case Domain for Environmental Nueroethics” is a well-rounded argument that shows no bias toward the issue. This can be seen from how the author acknowledges and refutes counter-argument. Cabrera brings to attention how supporters of pesticides argue that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has regulations in place that assure a reasonable certainty of no harm being caused by these chemicals. However, the author refutes that these reasonable certainty benchmarks are loosely monitored, and are set to where a lot of the unwanted chemicals pass without a problem. This article will help me support my point that the unchecked applications of pesticides are causing numerous health scares. They hinder the growth of the human brain and pose severe risks to mankind. I will also use this article to help me refute the point that effective laws and regulations on pesticide use are currently in place. I will use this article against one of my other source articles, “Fighting the Fear of Pesticides,” which argues in support of pesticide use. This article has helped strengthen my belief that stricter steps need to be taken to help save the ecosystem.
Gilden, Robyn C, et al. “Pesticides and Health Risks.: Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic & Neonatal Nursing, vol. 36, no. 1, 2010, pp. 103-110. Medline, dx.doi.org/10.1111.j.1552-6909.2009.01092.x. Accessed 27 Oct. 20xx.In this article, authors Gilden, Huffling, and Sattler discuss how human beings from the embryonic stage to the childbearing age are extremely susceptible to harm caused by pesticides. Gilden, et al. mention that the effects of pesticide exposure can last for generations and can be traced in the blood and breast milk of young parents suffering second-generation effects. They blame pesticides for being the reason behind a number of health issues including thyroid dysfunction, decreased testosterone, and infertility. Gilden, et al. discuss that data collected in support of pesticide usage, through animal testing, does not really give true results since animals being tested are exposed only to the one kind of chemical they are being tested for. Humans, on the other hand, are exposed to a number of different chemicals every day. The authors then propose a solution to eradicate favorable conditions that allow pests and fungus to grow and multiply. They even share a study, in which participating hospitals used the “integrated pest management (IPM) techniques,” and were able to produce favorable results (Gilden , et al.). The authors state that if need be, the least potent chemicals should be used, and the use of pesticides and fertilizers for beautification and other cosmetic purposes should be banned.“Pesticides and Health Risks” is a peer-reviewed article that gives a forthright picture of the current situation regarding pesticides. This is a strong piece written in collaboration by three experts within the field. Author Robyn C. Gilden is a doctoral candidate and program manager at the Environmental Health Education Center, University of Maryland School of Nursing, Baltimore. Katie Huffling is assistant director of nurse-midwifery at Dimensions OB-GYN Associates, Cheverly. And, Barbara Sattler, is a professor and director of the Environmental Health Education Center, University of Maryland School of Nursing, Baltimore. Even though together, these authors make a strong team, they still provide a number of studies and evidence to support their claims.This source helped me narrow my topic to strictly the health issues caused by toxic exposure to pesticides, I will use this source to support my claim that many health concerns in the modern world exist due to the improper and unchecked use of pesticides. I will also use this source to counterargue that the studies based on animal testing are flawed. Additionally, I will use this source to support my recommendations to resolve the problem.
