Role Reversal between Children and Adults

1) thither are certain dangers that nurtures often over quality redden if they try to pamper their child and one of which is the immature culture that has emerged in our very plaza (Beder, 1998). This brings far more danger to their child than they target imagine. Consumerism is what advertisers teach our children as they bombard them with advertisements of junk fares, toys and essentially any product that has children as their target.They teach children the immunity to choose from tons of flavors of junk foods that they release in the market making the parents obliged to ask the preferences of their children to begin with buying the product. The parents therefore get hold of less or no influence on the food or toys for their children. They buy what their children demand to simply avoid the nag concomitantor from their children and to save time in re twineing(a) food that their children does not want to eat. This in a way reverses the role of the parent and child whe re the parent ought to decide for their children.In this generation, parents bestow in to their children when it comes to food and toys. Children at the age of five now confirm the license to choose what kind of food they want and the toys they want to play with. Since these children have no purchasing power, they turn to their parents who give in to their demands. The parents claim that their children know a lot more of the products than they do. This can be attributed to the fact that magazines for children have most of the pages allotted for junk food and toy advertisements.At an early age the children are perspective about commercialism and the culture of consumerism even if they have no purchasing power, thus the book born(p) to Buy by Juliet Schor is appropriately named. Even kids present tense have their concept of booze as decision of Wynne Tyree, the director of JustKid incorporated show that kids physical exertion dough instead of caffeine to give then faculty for the day. It is used the same way as adults use coffee. 2) Kids nowadays are way different. They tell you what they want and if you dont give them that they can be a real pain.I do agree that the new culture that is cultivated in the minds of our children through the media has a lot to do with this behavior. I dont intend for my kinds to be raised in a culture of consumerism. They ordain become a knuckle down of capitalism and will buy and spend even if they have no money for such luxury. I believe that parents should still decide what heir children will eat since they know what is best for their child. We should not give in to their demands and prevent the reversal of roles.Advertisers only encourage, talk through ones hat and persuade these children into a lifestyle of wastefulness and luxury and what is worst is that it has long term effects on our children. It is a parents goal to be a good provider for our children but backing their excessive demands is way out of context. I prize responsible parents should think for their children when it comes to the goods that we buy, after all, we are the ones who have the power to but. With that power is the responsibility of buying the adept kind of goods for our children.
