Food

When I walk into my kitchen today, I am not alone. Whether we know it or not, none of us is. We bring fathers and mothers and kitchen tables, and every meal we have ever eaten. Food is never just food. It’s also a way of getting at something else: who we are, who we have been, and who we want to be. (Quote by M. Wizenberg)

What does food mean to you?

•  Memories from childhood
•  Tradition/ change
•  “Sense of place”:  My town/country/family
• Comfort, celebration, ceremony

Adverts are all around us whether we like it or not. Some say that are they are necessary in a free world for information while others see them as an invasion of their privacy.  Some see adverts as works of art and cinematic masterpieces to be judged alongside the works of Hollywood while others see them as a message pushing a product.
 
Is advertising necessary?
What would a world without advertising be like?
What are the best adverts that you’ve seen?
What makes a good advert?
What makes a good slogan?
How and why can they be controversial?
 
Help answer these questions and design your own advertising campaign.

Age…is it a number, a feeling, an attitude? 

What age do you want to be? 

Description:

Age is typically very important in many countries, especially where rules and social systems require people to be of a certain age to either buy products or services, participate in particular events or even retire.  How old you are is certainly a question asked at every stage of someone’s life…a certain age to start school, drive a car, retire … it’s all in the number!  Or is it?

•       In your country, at what age is somebody considered an adult?
•       At what age do people in your country retire?  Do you think this is fair?
•       In some countries, it is traditional for retirees to go and live with their children.  Is it the same in yours?
•       Do people respect elders in your country?
•       Is there a difference in the youth of today versus the older generations?
•       Do you think that younger people today have less family values?
•       Do you think younger people should give up their seat on a train or a bus for an older person?
•       Define middle aged.
•       At what age do people usually get married and have children in your country?
•       Woman usually live longer than men do, why do you think this is?
•       What age do you think it’s best to be?  Why?
