...What is behind every major brand in the world? An iconic sportsman endorsing it. The celebrity status of sportsmen all over the world has continued to grow, especially in the past decade. Sports stars are often regarded as role models and therefore it has been suggested they should only be able to endorse certain brands and messages. I will be arguing in this essay through the example of NBA star LeBron James how I agree due to sporting stars growing influence on society, especially children and teens, they should not be allowed to endorse negative brands or messages such as unhealthy food. The influence of sporting stars in today’s society is major. Most athletes idolised by millions around the globe, kids holding onto every word that comes from their mouths. Think of your childhood idol for a second. When you are a child you are so infatuated by your idols you want to be just like them, do what they do, eat what they eat and wear what they wear. With this kind of influence on thousands of people caution needs to be taken when deciding the brands and messages one can endorse.

...ENDORSEMENTS: A CRUSIAL AND CONTROVERSIAL PART IN ADVERTISEMENTS When you go for shopping in a supermarket and you come across many brands of various products. When you see a brand, it immediately reminds you of the celebrity who has endorsed or promoted the brand. For instance, Lux may remind you of Shahrukh Khan, Ashwariya Rai or even Katrina Kaif. The image of the celebrity in the ad leaves a lasting impression on your mind which motivates you to buy the product. Endorsements, by famous celebrities, whose personality matches that of the product help to create certain impressions of that brand on consumers. For eg. Bipasha Basu has an image of fitness freak and hence endorses Sugar Free Natura. Endorsements play an important role in making the advertisement successful.

...community. It’s up to parents to lead by example,” says Alexandra Salazar, a pediatric nutritionist at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore in New York City (Mooney 2011). Children in the United States are eating more and more unhealthy foods due to marketing directed towards kids, ads on television, celebrity endorsements, and food choices at school. Food Marketing to Children Various companies market foods to kids on TV, on the radio, on the web, in magazines. They do this through almost subliminal type marketing where the items are strategically placed to catch a child’s eye, but yet the film, commercials, clothing ads and toy ads aren’t specifically saying to buy this food item. As indicated by "Food Marketing to Children,” sustenance advertising procedures incorporate the utilization of: spokes-characters, superstars, kid's shows, premiums, collectibles, diversions, challenges, kids' clubs, and that's just the beginning. The aggregate sum spent on nourishment advertising to youngsters is about ten billion dollars a year (Center for Science in the Public Interest 2006). Indeed, there is no questioning the way that the objective of nourishment advertising is to impact kids' food decisions. Companies clearly believe that marketing works or they wouldn’t spend billions of dollars a year on it. According to a comprehensive review in 2005 by the National Academies’ Institute of Medicine, studies demonstrate that TV food advertising influences youngsters' nourishment decisions...

INTRODUCTION Traditionally antiperspirant/deodorants have been used to reduce underarm wetness and control body odour. They are made by blending active ingredients with waxes, oils, and silicones and moulding the mixture into stick form. Body odour is essentially produced under the arms where there is a high concentration of sweat glands. While sweat from these glands is initially odourless, it contains natural oils (also known as lipids) that provide a growth medium for bacteria living on the skin. These bacteria interact with the lipids, converting them into compounds that...

...What is Teen Dating Violence? Teen Dating Violence (TDV) is described as the physical, emotional, or sexual abuse that occurs within a relationship while dating. TDV can occur in person, or electronically by a current or former partner (CDC, 2014). Many adolescents and adults are unaware of the prevalence of TDV but a recent national study revealed that nearly 10% of adolescents have reported being hit, slapped, or intentionally physically hurt by someone they had claimed to be dating (CDC, 2014). About 20% of adult women who reported experiencing some form of intimate partner violence (IPV) also reported experiencing TDV between the ages of 11-17 (CDC, 2014). Also, black students experience TDV (14%) at a significantly higher rate than their white peers (8.9%) (Rothman, 2013). TDV is a very important issue to address because as teens mature mentally and emotionally, they are heavily influenced by previous relational experiences. If they do not cultivate positive, healthy relationships, TDV can be a dangerous precursor to experiencing IPV as adults. Victims of TDV are more likely to do poorly in school, binge drink, commit suicide, and engage in physical altercations (CDC, 2014). There are several risk factors involved with TDV. There is an increased risk for toxic relationships for teens who believe that physical violence is a constructive way to express anger in a relationship, use alcohol or drugs, have violent friends, have multiple sex partners, are depressed or anxious...

...Marketing Theory and Practice, Vol. 9, No. 4 (Fall, 2001), pp. 27-36 This study can basically inform RO 3a) i.e. contribution of celebrity endorsements to materialistic values. Introduction: The article takes a look at how role models impact adolescents’ market place knowledge. It includes teachers and parents as direct role models and entertainers and athletes as vicarious role models. The study gauges that athletes and fathers have the greatest impact on adolescents where materialism is concerned. Literature Review: Researching current literature we can see that consumers learn or model behaviors, values, attitudes, and skills through the observation of other individuals, or through observations of electronic or print media (Bandura 1977). Thus, social values of youth are shaped at their foundation by role models, one of the most influential of which are celebrity endorsers, particularly athletes. Moschias (1985) contends that it is during adolescence that consumers develop their buying patterns that generally continue well into later life. Therefore, this is a particularly essential time for companies to target consumers as it can lead to the generation of an exceedingly loyal consumer base. Ward (1974) also postulates that a process of consumer socialization is influenced by environmental factors including parents, teachers and celebrity endorsers, “each of which can play an integral role in helping an adolescent develop consumption behaviors, attitudes, knowledge...
