Should kids be in modeling?
On the yes side, why not? We sell clothing in all shapes and sizes and that includes kids sizes. It is only logical to have kids model them. There is nothing wrong with placing your child in the hands of a reputable modeling agency. Not only is it a wonderful learning experience for them, it earns them money which can be set aside for their future education.
What child would not enjoy all the fuss and attention paid to them on a modeling assignment? And if the parents can work it into their contract that they keep any clothes that they model, what is wrong with doing so? And who can say whether their experience as a child model will lead to a career in fashion modeling? Any parent would be proud to see their child be a highly paid model as a child or an adult.
But that only covers modeling clothing. What about modeling that isn’t quite so clean cut and above board? What about using children in advertising with implied sexual content? That is the darker side of child modeling that no one likes to talk about. It’s the controversy behind the beauty pageants that parents place their precocious little girls into without thought of the possible consequences. Anyone who has heard of the name of Jon Benet Ramsey knows what I am writing about in that context.
There are many who say that parents, particularly the mother, tries to recapture her youth and live vicariously through the daughter in the beauty pageants she enters her into along with modeling. Those cases are definitely a negative vote for kids in modeling. It is the opinion of many people that child beauty pageants should be banned altogether for the trauma potential they have for the child.
In our culture, we have been taught that youth is everything. We continually search for books, products, and doctors that will turn back the clock for us. We see models becoming younger every year and being rejected by the industry as soon as the bloom of youth starts to fade from their face. Because of that, we will never stop kids in modeling, but we can campaign for ways to police this l lucrative industry in such a way as to protect them.
Eastern and Western Toilets - A Question That Makes Me Feel Flush!
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you read the above title? Is there a difference between toilets in different countries? The simple answer is - yes.
In the west we are used to seeing commodes that have a bowl with a seat that we sit upon to have a bowel movement and urinate if you are a female. If you are a male, you must lift the seat to urinate and put it back down afterwards or woe to you when the next female enters the bathroom!
Bidets, which need no explanation if you ever watched the movie, “Crocodile Dundee”, are like a toilet except they have no seat. You hover over them somewhat bent over so that when you flush, the water gush that is projected upwards cleanses your anus. Another style has a handheld device that can be used with the same commode so there is no need for two toilets in your bathroom. European countries have bidets in the bathrooms as a matter of course, but here in the western world they are only added as a request.
There is some conjecture as to why that is so, but the simplest and the one that makes the most sense to me is that trees were plentiful in the new world for the manufacture of paper products including toilet paper, whereas trees are conserved in European countries. I personally feel a bidet is better for cleansing and gentler on your tush, but the paper industry is a powerful lobby so we probably won’t see bidet automatically put into new housing for a long time - if ever.
Another difference between western toilets and eastern toilets is the toilet that is inlaid into the floor like a trench. This can be quite disconcerting for westerners as it requires some skill and experience not to wet your clothes, yourself, the floor or the walls surrounding the trench. The suggested method is to pull your clothes forward as your semi-squat and hold them as tightly to your body as possible to prevent wetting or soiling them. Back up until you see your buttocks reflected in the center of the water then go as quickly as possible to reduce accidental misfires.
Whether you are used to toilets in the east or the west, the truth is that like an essay, it’s always a relief to get if over with...

Well I was wondering the same thing. But do you mean Persia as an essay question? Can you really write that much about Persia? And for imperialism you mean as a an compare and contrast questions? Australia and Pacific? Is that even important? And yeah I don't think it''l compare Russia and China, that was aLready a past CC question. Possibly CCOT about Persia post WW1, when it became Iran? And I w as thinking the CC question could maybe something like compare the Indian Ocean Trade Network to the Silk Roads? They have't had an essay on IOTN since 2008 and Silk Roads since 2009. And it's def not going to be columbian exchange that was last year. Maybe imperialism?

i dont understand the second one but i get the first one, try to use the same format for the 2nd one.
ok firstly, introduction- state what u r trying to say and give ur opinion briefly
secondly state some issues whether u agree or disagree with kids in modelling, just think of some examples
thirdly, whatever ur opinion, do the opposite so ur showing someone elses opinion about the essay question. use examples and explain.
finally -a conclusion, round it all up into a brief paragraph and give ur final statement about 'kids in modelling'
hope this helps!
