= Question: = = ** Which are the ways candies are used in our society? ** = = synthesis!!! = 1. Candies are used in our society in order to express friendship, love, and to show caring because when some one had make somethings bad and wants to forgive what usually a person would do is to make a little not saying sorry and for apologizing a sweet will be ideal, For teenagers that they usually are in th eir love story sometimes they want the next step and that step is for being more romantic is to give some Chocolates to your peer, an d our age is the one that usually nobody have boy or girlfriend but yeah we do have BFF and let me tell you that when the BFF wants to show their friendship with the others they give sweets or candies. (I know because when I had Mariajose Orozco as a BFF she gave me some "Foot" and when we where a best friends group Maria Jose Negrte gave us a pack of "Foot") here is the photo and for love and care: 2. Candies are us for rewarding, parents use it for that! could you believe it? well is true, some of them say things of this type; or more and more of this type of phrases that involve candies, I know you maybe will think this is a prior knowledge but not because when I start realizing this type of phrases parents make I hear them from my own parents... (some of them) and this is a video I made showing the problem... psd: sorry for the spelling but the clips of the video were accidentally deleted so this is the only thing I have from it: media type="youtube" key="ZwMn_1eaHuo" width="425" height="350"
 * NEW QUESTION! **
 * Laura Madriñan and isabella osorio 26-05-12 **
 * What I learn about this question of Form is: **
 * "if you behave good you will win a candy!"
 * "If you eat all things you will have dessert if not sorry"
 * "WOW you had an awesome report, do you want to eat an ice cream?"
 * "Cause your brother have a very good assembly today we are going to eat an ice cream!"

3. Also candies are use in our society en special celebrations like halloween, saint Valentines day, christmas, birthdays, Easter, Festivals, and Carnivals because lets see this in halloween: the Idea of making Halloween is for kids how to houses they might not known before and ask for Candies (actually they ended up with a big pacage full of candies) and eat them on an exaggeratedly way, on saint valentines day: the idea of it is to show your friendship or love to someone through candies, chocolates, and little notes. (it is romantic don't you think so?but they make kids and teenagers eat chocolates in an exaggeratedly way) I know because at school happens with carnations.

= synthesis!!! = What I had learn about this question of form is:
 * Maria Jose Negret and Maria Jose Perez 25-05-12 **

Halloween is one of the events in which candies are used because the idea of it is to walk the hole night asking your neighbors for candies. Saint valentines is also one of the events in which candies are used because the ways that you express your ** care **, ** love ** and ** friendship ** in that day is with ** candies ** .Christmas also, because in that month when they make novenas, celebrations, family meetings etc.. most of the desserts are **candies** or **sweets**. I n birthday more or less the **hole** day you are eating candies, for example in the surprises and piñatas. Also in Easter because the idea of it is that the "easter bunny" hide the ** chocolate ** eggs between trees and rocks so the childrens need to search for them, as I told before the "easter bunny" hide the ** chocolate ** eggs and the ** chocolate ** is a ** candy ** .In carnavals and festivals also because there are ceremonies, such as parties where always they are giving out ** candies. In the folloween pictures you will realize this examples: **
 * 1) ** Candies are used in our society in special **celebrations**, such as: Halloween, saint valentines day, christmas, birthdays, Easter, Festivals, carnavals. And other **situations** such as: Romantic situation, friendship situations, forgiving situations, happy situations, thankful situations, to encourage your friends and family friendship situations, to blackmail and reward people.

Candies are us for rewarding, parents use it for that! could you believe it? well is true, some of them say things of this type; "if you behave good you will win a candy!"" If you eat all things you will have dessert if not sorry" "WOW you had an awesome report, do you want to eat an ice cream?" "Cause your brother have a very good assembly today we are going to eat an ice cream! And more and more phrases involving candies such as rewarness. In the following video you will see this example.!  ps: the creator of this video was lalis, she did a very good job doing it please see her efford in this video. media type="youtube" key="ZwMn_1eaHuo" width="425" height="350"
 * 2) ** Candies also connect to friendship and forgiving situations because friends always give candies to each other to forgive bad situations and live the happy present. When friends fight what we usually do is making them a little card to apologize them selfes, if you give our friend a card plus some sweets it will be ideal.Also teenegers give sweets to their peers to be more romantic so sually they give their boy friend or girlfriend some chocolates, in our age: 11,12 the majority of the year doesn have a peer but we do have bff, that also acomplish this role, friends and bff always give ccandies to each other to express their care friendship and love for example my best friends mariajose orozo gave me some foot, a very goodcandie to express there care to me and I gave also other friends the same present to express the same thing. In the folloween pictures you will realized this examples:

Take a look on the following video in a step it says that paint the box were you buy them so nobody see you, this means that you are making the wrong think if schools say is a very serious fault. Could you imagine how this action the writer and maker of the video has being making? this is very serious because they want to break the rules. media type="youtube" key="PUwCwzE0rRQ" width="425" height="350"
 * Laura Madriñan Serna 23 may 2012 **

This video shows that this girl is breaking the rules, she is selling things at school! and guess what she was selling CANDIES... this means that kids will like to make the same and that makes kids grow up with a rebellion way of living. and could cause many conflicts in the society... This girls wants to break the rules, and it will (could) finish on trouble. media type="youtube" key="Fk9MqjZdrjM" width="425" height="350"

Another problem in the school community is the following: SHOOL FIGTHS (are the ones that in the cafeteria or other places people take the food (or candies) and start throwing them form one to each other) I had an experience with this problem actually at home. On halloween this year att my new house were making the halloween party and I invited some friends that live neer to me, and we met with a friend of my building, after making trick or trick we diced to go home and we showed each other the amount of candies each one had. when we finally finished we eat some of them and my CRAZY friends started to become overactive and throw candies to each other! like if it was "A war of candie" or a " Candy fight )... at the next day many of them were mad with each other...

"Sweet Romantic Things to Do for Your Sweetheart" this copy and paste are the tips that appear on a web site for having a better relationship with your pair, guess what in the 1ST tip says something about sweets i want you to find our CHECK IT OUT... By Kathryn D'Imperio 1. Leave little love notes or piles of candy when you visit each other. Stash them away where your honey will be sure to find them, whether in the car, under his/her pillow or in a travel bag. 2. Call just because you are thinking of him or her leave a cute message in the voicemail or send a text message with a sweet or seductive meaning. If you prefer to leave a message as opposed to talking, call when you know he or she is unavailable so a little something sweet is waiting upon return to the cell phone, home or office. 3. Send an email, or better yet, get old-fashioned and send a letter or a card through the mail to express your love. After all, who doesnt love getting mail (well, except for bills!) as a surprise? 4. When you are getting together for an evening or even for just a few minutes, pick up his or her favorite treat or snack, a specialty coffee or dessert as a sweet surprise. If you are going to rent a movie or spend some quiet time at home, get a few snacks to enjoy with a flick or some television. 5. Speaking of renting movies, surprise your sweetheart with a movie you pick out that you know he or she would really enjoy. I often have a difficult time making up my mind about which movie to rent, so it would definitely be a huge but much appreciated step if I brought one over that I knew he would like. 6. You know those sweet things you think of when you are together or just thinking about your honey? Well, next time a thought pops in your mind, voice it! Girls especially love to know what wonderful things go on in the inner workings of their guys minds, so chances are, guys may also enjoy a few catch phrases. http://www.romantic-lyrics.com/sweetromantic.shtml

 * Rewarding Children For Good Behavior ** MARIA JOSE PEREZ LAURA MADRIÑAN, ISABELLA OSORIO AND MARIA JOSE NEGRET 14-5-12
 * Give your children inexpensive creative gifts, like making a crazy bath with colored (food color) water or baking cup cakes for them.
 * You can also award your kids with their favorite book or read out their favorite story.
 * Offer children random awards too, so as to keep them motivated to be a good person in life.
 * In case of girls, you can reward them with a bracelet or an accessory for their doll.
 * Children who are fond of gardening can be awarded some seeds to sow in the garden or plants that they can keep near their window.
 * Serve your kids their favorite snack or dinner, also making sure that it is full of nutrition.
 * You can allow your child’s friends to come over and let them have their ‘Pajama Party’.
 * You can reward your kids by allowing them to have snowball fight (made of socks) in the room or even have paper planes races.
 * An indoor picnic or a camp at the backyard of the home will also excite and motivate kids to behave well.
 * You can award the children their favorite cartoon character stickers or cap, with its picture on it.
 * Offer a music freak child a family concert every week. This will keep him/ her motivated for the whole week. You can even call his/ her friends on a holiday and play with the music instruments made out of bucket and steel drums.
 * Allow the child to watch his/ her favorite movie or cartoon an hour daily, if he/ she behaves in the desired way.
 * Make a reward box for the child and randomly drop a gift for a good behavior that you did not ask him/her to do. It will make the child feel that behaving nicely is something very good and boost his confidence levels.
 * If your children are inclined towards picture books, like comics, buy them their favorite ones from the nearby bookstore.
 * Give your child a reward that would aid him/her in developing a hobby. For e.g. if he/ she loves making drawings, reward him/her with a drawing book or even colors.
 * Praise your kids for what they have done and if they have helped you out in your work, say ‘thank you. A simple thanks can also works wonders on kids.
 * You can also make your own medals and honor the child with it, in front of all family members.

= maria jose perez, Maria Jose Negret, and laura madriñan 10-5.12 = young people also buy and sell candies at school to their friends usually that is not aloud at school but because they want to collect money for a specific reasons they sell them in private or secret. REFLECTION: This affects family because kids start to tell mom or dad to give them more money that usual but the thing is sometimes they dont say for what so kids start to hide the truth of the extra money to thir parents until the kid that sell candies in secret is discovered by any teacher and the game ends... OR they want also money because they want something parents would not give them such as iPhones, macs act and they say their parents "but if I give half the money could you buy the other part for my birthday?" and their is another problem we just show you... WE TOOK THIS INFO FROM OUR FAMILY... EACH ONE ASK THEIR PARENTS AND THEN WE PUT THE INFO TOGETHER...

Sugar has been produced in the [|Indian subcontinent][|[5]] since ancient times. It was not plentiful or cheap in early times— [|honey] was more often used for sweetening in most parts of the world. Originally, people chewed raw sugarcane to extract its sweetness. Sugarcane was a native of tropical [|South Asia] and [|Southeast Asia]. [|[6]] Different species seem to have originated from different locations with // [|Saccharum barberi] // originating in [|India] and // [|S. edule] // and // [|S. officinarum] // coming from [|New Guinea]. [|[6]][|[7]]

One of the earliest historical references to sugar cane is in 8th century BC. Chinese manuscripts that also refer to the fact that knowledge of sugar cane was derived from India. [|[8]] It appears that in about 500 BC, residents of present-day India began making sugar syrup and cooling it in large flat bowls to make crystals that were easier to store and transport than the cane itself. In the local Indian language, these crystals were called //khanda// (खण्ड), which is the source of the word //candy//. [|[9]]

Sugar remained relatively unimportant until the Indians discovered methods of turning [|sugarcane juice] into granulated crystals that were easier to store and to transport. [|[10]] Crystallized sugar was discovered by the time of the [|Imperial Guptas], around 5th century AD. [|[10]] Indian sailors, who carried [|clarified butter] and sugar as supplies, introduced knowledge of sugar on the various [|trade routes] they travelled. [|[10]] Buddhist monks brought sugar crystallization methods to China as they travelled around. [|[11]] During the reign of [|Harsha] (r. 606–647) in [|North India], Indian envoys in [|Tang China] taught methods of cultivating sugarcane after [|Emperor Taizong of Tang] (r. 626–649) made his interest in sugar known. China then established its first [|sugarcane] plantations in the seventh century. [|[12]] Chinese documents confirm at least two missions to India, initiated in 647 AD, to obtain technology for sugar-refining. [|[13]] In South Asia, the [|Middle East] and [|China], sugar became a staple of cooking and [|desserts].

The triumphant progress of [|Alexander the Great] was halted on the banks of the [|Indus River] by the refusal of his troops to go further east. They saw people in the Indian subcontinent growing sugarcane and making //granulated, salt-like sweet powder//, locally called साखर, pronounced as saccharum (ζάκχαρι). On their return journey, the [|Macedonian] soldiers carried the "honey bearing reeds" home with them. Sugarcane remained a little known crop in Europe for over a millennium, sugar a rare commodity, and traders of sugar wealthy. [|Venice], at the height of its financial power, was the chief sugar-distributing center of Europe. [|[8]]

[|Crusaders] brought sugar home with them to Europe after their campaigns in the [|Holy Land], where they encountered caravans carrying "sweet salt". Early in the 12th century, Venice acquired some villages near [|Tyre] and set up estates to produce sugar for export to Europe, where it supplemented honey which had previously been the only available sweetener. [|[14]] Crusade chronicler [|William of Tyre], writing in the late 12th century, described sugar as "very necessary for the use and health of mankind". [|[15]]

SUMMARY
1st paragraph: on the first paragraph it's said that in ancient times sugar wasn't so cheap because honey was mostly used to sweet the food. originally they chewed sugar cane to extract.

2nd paragraph: Chinese manuscripts that also refer to the fact that knowledge of sugar cane was derived from India. It appears that in about 500 BC, residents of present-day India began making sugar syrup and cooling it in large flat bowls to make crystals that were easier to store and transport than the cane itself.

3rd paragraph: Sugar remained relatively unimportant until the Indians discovered methods of turning sugarcane juice into granulated crystals that were easier to store and to transport. During the reign of Harsha in North India, Indian envoys in Tang China taught methods of cultivating sugarcane after Emperor Taizong of Tang made his interest in sugar known.

4rd paragraph: The triumphant progress of Alexander the Great was halted on the banks of the Indus River by the refusal of his troops to go further east.

= What are candies made of? How? =

We decided to change this question because it has NOTHING to do with sharing the planet, with our mentor and teacher's help we realized this problem, we research a lot of sharing the planet and we found the perfect question that leads exactly with sharing the planet. This question is on the higher side of the page, on the lower part is shown all our process until we dicovered the error.
 * ohho ohh.... this question don't leads to our topic and central idea the new one will be above the page **
 * Maria Jose Negret and Laura madriñan **
 * Reflection **

= MEDIA = The following information I took it from this link: http://www.whyzz.com/how-is-candy-made Candies dont have an specific form to be made, due because all of them are different so they have different ways to be made. Candies are mostly made with sugar, this sugar need to be boiled in an specific temperature, (it depend on the candy). Most of the cases the temperature is extremely hot, hotter than boiling water, well, it depend on the candy, like i've said each candy have different, steps, temperatures, ingredients etc.. I n addition to sugar, candy uses ingredients like flavorings, nuts, gelatin, egg whites, and butter, depending on what it being made. Ones the ingredients are boiled, they have to ne shaped and then coolen until they harder.

Candy is made by dissolving sugar in water or milk to form a [|syrup], which is boiled until it reaches the desired concentration or starts to [|caramelize]. The type of candy depends on the ingredients and how long the mixture is boiled. Candy comes in a wide variety of textures, from soft and chewy to hard and brittle. Some examples are: [|caramel candy], [|toffee] , [|fudge] , [|praline] , [|tablet] , [|gumdrops] , [|jelly beans] , [|rock candy] , [|lollipops] , [|taffy] , [|cotton candy] , [|candy canes] , [|peppermint sticks] , [|peanut brittle] , [|chocolate-coated raisins] or [|peanuts] , [|hard candy] (called // boiled sweets // in British English) and [|candy bars].

SUMMARY
Candy is made by dissolving sugar in water or milk that then is boiled till the mixture starts getting concentration or starts to caramelize.

The final texture of candy depends on the sugar concentration. As the syrup is heated, it boils, water evaporates, the sugar concentration increases, and the [|boiling point] rises. A given temperature corresponds to a particular sugar concentration. In general, higher temperatures and greater sugar concentrations result in hard, brittle candies, and lower temperatures result in softer candies.

SUMMARY
the texture of the candy depends on the sugar concentration. when syrup is heated it boils water evaporates and the sugar concentration increases. higher temperatures and greater sugar are hard flavored candies and lower temperatures are softer candies.

here in the videos below you can see how chocolates are made:

media type="youtube" key="rdTpA0luD2U" width="425" height="350"

SUMMARY
as you can see here with the example of chocolate, it has colorants and it has passed through a lot of machines. However in this factory there's not a bad process, why don't we watch this one, i'm sure you can recognize this chocolate: media type="youtube" key="vq8gfLZwBm8" width="425" height="350"

SUMMARY
well, i think we already learn enough from chocolate. however i think they aren't as bad as i think so, they use cocoa seed and (as i could se in hershey's) no colorant! but, what about bubble gum?

media type="youtube" key="WB3st6SQnsk" width="425" height="350"

SUMMARY
ok, over here the thing completely changes! didn't you heard that? today bubble gum is synthetic: made of PLASTIC and RUBBER! also, 100 of colorants! first they were opaque gray and magically, a shinny pretty pink! bubble gum is not a candy, it's just rubbish. lets see gummies:

media type="youtube" key="qrypdAGEZBg" width="425" height="350"

SUMMARY
gummies, not so different as bubble gum it's made just of chemicals: gelatin, flavoring colorants, sweeteners,citric acid and wax. natural resources anywhere? difficult question right?

=** PRIOR KNOWLEDGE **=

==== What I know about candies is very simple and general just as majo's and isa's comment. I know that candies are made of chemicals and an specific sugar, some of this chemicals make you become addict to them, some of them make you become happy, i also know that this chemicals bring energy to your body. ==== what i know about candies is very general and small just like isa´s coment i know they are made with lot of sugar and chemicals but they must have a special chemical that makes you happy i am not really sure but havear that in the news.
