...of life during that specific time or place. Since the dawn of this new era, the economy has relied on fast food, sports, and television as their primary source of entertainment. The three categories listed above have overlapping patterns suggesting individuals to purchase their product being mentally or physically. Food industry’s use artificial visual prop’s such as plastic or wax items to help portray luscious tasting food to help entice a hunger experience. Driving by Arby’s a billboard picture shows five roast beef sandwiches for five dollars, leading individuals to believe this is an excellent value. On the other hand, Arby’s does not inform customers of the calorie intake, sodium, and other ingredients that are harmful to individuals’ health. Consequently, these additives tremendously increased over the years. Another example of a food artifact is McDonald’s golden arches.

Non Monetary Reward

...INCENTIVES AS A MOTIVATIONAL TOOL IN SPORTS  664 argued that an athlete’s motivation is very critical, but what is more critical is the understanding of what exactlymotivates athletes.

The bonus was entirely based on passing the ball. Hardaway passedthe ball a lot, particularly towards the end of the season. When interviewed, the former start admitted that to gethis bonus he had sometimes passed even when he should have shot the ball. He was highly driven by themonetary bonus.

Women in Sport

...Sports of old were merely competitive activities rooted in heroism and romanticism. Sports activities today, however, have no such innocence or simplicity. Currently in America, the activities that make up our sports culture is not only the competitive events themselves but the processes and issues that underlie and surround them. Entwined in our sports culture is the giant business of mass broadcasting. Indeed, sports and the media go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly, like Mickey and Minnie, Darth Vader and Luke. They are intertwined and depend on each other to continue to grow.

Playing with the Boys

...English 190 7 March 2014 Playing with the Boys Sports have been a tremendous part of society all over the world for hundreds of years. From ancient competitions such as the first Olympic games in Greece, to modern exhibitions like the World Series or the Super Bowl, sports are a cherished and important tradition to many. Women were excluded from the first Olympic games in 776 B.C. They held their own games to honor the goddess, Hera, ruler of women and earth (History of Women). This is where separation and inequality first began for women in the competitive and discriminatory world of sports. In almost every modern sport, women are forced to play under different rules, lighter or smaller equipment, and receive less pay or less support for their hard work and dedication. Women have spent hundreds of years defending their rights, and they should not be taken away when it comes to the sports scene. Women deserve every ounce of respect as men in any and all categories, including athletics. There is no denying there are certain differences between a man and a woman's body. Generally speaking, men are taller, faster and have more upper body strength than women (Caitlin). But these differences in anatomy do not merit sports fans to ridicule or make a mockery of women's athletics. Women's sports have often been the butt of jokes and the object of derision, despite the fact that female athletes put every ounce of dedication into their sport as their male counterparts. They sweat, hurt,...
