Causation

=NEW NEW QUESTION:= WHY DO PEOPLE USE CANDIES IN OUR SOCIETY? Synthesis


 * Laura Madriñán, Maria Jose Negret, María José Perez, and isabella Osorio 27-05-12 : **

What we learned about the causation question is:

Candies affect our society in many different ways, for example, in commercials, what I have seen in TV commercials, especially in KIDS commercials is that the majority of them is about sweets, but a real conflict, is based in a REAL example long time a go, I saw a pin pop comercial, (pin pop is sort of a lollipop), in this commercial this people not only promote the lollipop they ALSO gave a horrible message to kids. In this commercial it was talk about love on teenegers, this is not a bad thing but to present it to little kids, yes it is. It was shown images that are not suitable for under age kids. This commercial was defendant for advertisement not appropriate for little kids. Another example is BON BON BUN this commercial will be bellow, this have NOTHING to do with the product.Another reason why sweets is affecting our society is in family conflicts, parents teach their kids seems babies that a sweet are like a prize they reward their childs, for example, they said that if they eat their vegetables they will won a sweet, so when they grow up they start thinking that if they do the right things their parents will give them a prize, and when they dont, it startes a big conflict between family that also affects our society. The following data shows the evolution


 * In 1800s is the biggining of the history of sweets because the first valentines day,the american candy bar, the first branded chewing gum, the first packaged box of Whitman's Chocolate, the first candy corn, were created


 * In 1900s all does factories created and start to get famous in our society started to grow and grow and finally grow!


 * In 1910s They most famous candy companies started to increase their resources, and became bigger such us milk chocolate bar and Hershey's chocolate kisses.


 * In 1920s new products start to sell on super markers, and famous candy companies started to create new products.

=The History of Lollipop Candy= MARIA JOSE NEGRET,MARIA JOSE PEREZ, 17, may, 12 In the 17th Century, as sugar became more plentiful, the English enjoyed boiled sugar candy treats and inserted sticks into them to make them easier to eat, too. Linguists say the term ‘lolly pop’ literally means ‘tongue slap’ (which we find hilarious) since the word for ‘tongue’ is ‘lolly’ in Northern England and ‘pop’ means ‘slap.’ London street vendors may have coined this term as they peddled the treat, which was soft rather than hard, but still considered a possible forerunner to the modern lollipop.
 * The first incarnation of the lollipop was probably created by cave people thousands of years ago**who collected honey from beehives with a stick. Not wanting to waste the sweet nectar, they most likely licked the stick, thus inventing the world’s first lollipop. Good for them (good for us). Archaeologists believe that ancient Chinese, Arabs, and Egyptians all produced fruit and nut confections that they "candied" in honey, which serves as a preservative, and inserted sticks into to make easier to eat.

If the 17th Century English version doesn’t count as the first modern lollipop, you could look to the Civil War era for another early forerunner, when hard candy was put on the tips of pencils for children. The early 20th Century was the era of automation, which is when the birth of the lollipop as we now know it begins in earnest, but there are still discrepancies as to who is the true creator.

As early as 1905, the owner of the McAviney Candy Company may have stumbled upon the lollipop by accident. The company made boiled hard candies that were stirred with a stick, and at day's end, the owner brought the sticks covered with the candy home for his kids to enjoy. It wasn't until 1908 that he began to market these "used candy sticks."

Also in 1908, in Racine, Wisconsin, the first automated lollipop production was brought about by the Racine Confectionary Machine Company that introduced a machine that put hard candy on the end of a stick at the rate of 2,400 sticks per hour. Owners of the company believed that they could produce enough lollipops (although they weren’t called that yet) in a single week to supply the nation's demand for an entire year.

In approximately 1912, Russian immigrant Samuel Born invented a machine that inserted sticks into candy. The machine was called the Born Sucker Machine and the City of San Francisco considered it so innovative that they awarded him the keys to the city in 1916. George Smith, owner of a confectionary company called the Bradley Smith Company, took credit for inventing the modern version of the lollipop which he began making in 1908, and in 1931, he trademarked the term ‘lollipop,” borrowing the name from a famous race horse named Lolly Pop, which is when the term lollipop finally connects back to the 17th Century phrase (‘tongue slap,’ remember?).

As you can see, the development of the lollipop took its time and there is some competition for the title “creator of the lollipop,” but regardless who gets credit for it, it’s here to stay and it’s currently one of the most popular candies in existence. Modern companies such as the [|Spangler Candy Company](creator of [|Dum Dums], [|Saf-T-Pops], and other favorites) can produce up to 3,000,000 per day, which still hardly satisfies the nation's sweet tooth.

Lollipops today come in all shapes and sizes, and [|we offer more than 100 varieties]. Whether you want a [|Charms Lollipop], a [|Tootsie Pop], or a [|lollipop with a cricket inside], our selection is second to none. So go ahead and order yourself and your loved ones a ‘tongue slap,’ and then enlighten them with all of your new knowledge; they’ll be so impressed. Finally, if we may end our History of the Lollipop with a lesson: when you don’t know what else to do, put a stick in it. = HISTORY OF CANDY BARS: MARIA JOSE PEREZ 17 MAY 2012 =
 * For a while, the Maya and the Aztecs were the only ones enjoying the fruit of the cacao tree,**something they had done for thousands of years. In the 16th Century, Spanish explorer Hernan Cortez paid a visit to the Aztecs and when he met their leader, Montezuma, he got a taste of the spicy, chocolate drink that was a local treasure.



Cortez returned to Spain with the recipe (we like to imagine it scribbled on a Post-it note) and a stash of cacao beans and the chocolate drink quickly became a favorite delicacy in the aristocratic circle.

For a while, the rich Europeans had all the fun, but over the next couple of centuries, cacoa and sugar became widely traded in Europe and North America, filling the growing demand for the chocolate drink among all the classes. In 1847, Englishman Joseph Fry figured out a way to create a chocolate paste to press into a mold, thus creating the candy bar. Nice going, Mr. Fry.

In 1875, Henry Nestle realized that adding milk to the chocolate mixture makes it less bitter, another major milestone in the world of chocolate, soon followed by an even bigger one. The 1893 Chicago World’s Fair featured chocolate making machines that caught Milton Hershey’s eye (he was already rich from making caramel, but saw even more opportunity in chocolate, smart man). One year later, the world got the first chocolate bar from Hershey, marking the beginning of the mass-produced American candy bar.

The candy bar genealogy from that point goes something like this: Clark Bar (1916), Oh Henry! (1920), Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (1922), Baby Ruth and Milky Way (1923), Mr. Goodbar (1925), Snickers (1930), 3 Musketeers (1932), Kit Kat (1933), and Nestle’s Crunch (1938) (for more juicy details, check out our [|Candy Timeline]).

With mechanized candy bar production that began in the 40’s, the market became flooded with new and inventive candy bar creations, to the tune of 40,000 over the years. We don’t have quite that many candy bars on our site, but we do have a lot, and surely there are some you haven’t tried. Call it a history lesson and dive into our [|Candy Bar] selection and fill in those gaps.

=Mr Ben Comment=

This doesn't answer the question WHY do people use candies. Your answer is more the ways in which they do which is FORM. Think about the causes of why people use Candy. Where does this societal trend come from??

Question: NEW QUESTION:

WHAT ARE THE REASONS WHY PEOPLE USE CANDIES WITHIN SOCIETY AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS?
prior knowledge: 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. 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.**

candies affect our society in the way that the advertisements are always of sweets and there's none of vegetables, fruits, etc. Kids think candies are rewards. And candies have become a common present or a snack in parties or special celebrations...

**Questions that are based in prior knowledge** The following questions are based in what I need to find out and what I want to know. 1) Why do people use sweets to make commercials involving love or scenes that are not appropriate for under age kids?.... Example: pin pop commercial: 2) Why parents need to give a sweet or a prize to their kids for them to make the right things? 3) Why does the people that make commercials especially in sweets commercials, exaggerate them or lie for US to bye their product? 4) Do you think that sweets commercials said the truth? 5) Why factories such us Bon Bon Bun make prizes for us the costumers to eat their product?

According to a 2000 investigative report by the British Broadcasting Company (BBC), it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of children are being sold or stolen and taken to the Ivory Coast where they are forced into a life of slavery on the cocoa farms. Many are killed or beaten if they try to leave. >> When a newly freed slave from a cocoa plantation in West Africa was asked if he knew what happened to the cocoa he harvested, he replied, “No.” Had he ever tasted chocolate? Again, “No.” So we asked him, what would you say to those millions of people who eat the chocolate made from the cocoa you have grown?//“Tell them,” he said, “when they eat chocolate they are eating my flesh.// For those of us who work to speak out for animals who are exploited and killed for food, we can imagine that this is very close to what animals would say. <span style="background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #242424; font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">That makes you think, I hope. Somehow I lose my taste for chocolate when I know it costs lives. <span style="background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #242424; font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The good news is that there is some ethical chocolate out there. I know it can be argued that even fair-trade chocolate has its issues, but the fair-trade chocolate (and tea and coffee) is purchased from collectives, usually, where fair prices are paid so the people working to grow the crops can afford to feed their families. If your favorite chocolates aren’t fair-trade, send them a note asking them why not, and switch to a fair-trade chocolate in the meantime. Even cocoa powder is available fair-trade!

= summary: = as we understand here, companies have kidnapped people so they can work for them. BUT you don't really know in which conditions, they've make an interview to one of their workers and they asked him if he had taste a chocolate, his answer was NO! he worked harvesting cocoa and he hadn't even taste the flavor of it! but that's not all, he didn't know what happened to the cocoa he harvested. if someone tried to escape they just beaten him or even worst KILL them. these poor workers didn't know that their sweets were sold 10 times more than they won in a day. HOWEVER fair-trade ( []) pay them what they deserve and treat them how everyone should be treated. more info in the page above.

What Majo Negret put is actually correct, because my mum also saw that commercial and told both of us what it was about, .... Candies affect our society in many kind of ways, our point of view for example of a candy since we are little, when parents say... if you are nice today, or if they say if you eat all this vegetables we give you A SWEET! and thats why its start a conflict when the kids work good expecting their parents to reward with a candy or a price but actually parents do not understand what kids are trying to tell. And the other conflict is with publicity.

Candies affect our society in many different ways, for example, in commercials, what I have seen in TV commercials, especially in KIDS commercials is that the majority of them is about sweets, but a real conflict, is based in a REAL example long time a go, I saw a pin pop comercial, (pin pop is sort of a lollipop), in this commercial this people not only promote the lollipop they ALSO gave a horrible __message__ to kids. In this commercial it was talk about love on teenegers, this is not a bad thing but to present it to little kids, yes it is. It was shown images that are not suitable for under age kids. This commercial was defendant for advertisement not appropriate for little kids. Another example is BON BON BUN this commercial will be bellow, this have NOTHING to do with the product.Another reason why sweets is affecting our society is in family conflicts, parents teach their kids seems babies that a sweet are like a prize they reward their childs, for example, they said that if they eat their vegetables they will won a sweet, so when they grow up they start thinking that if they do the right things their parents will give them a prize, and when they dont, it startes a big conflict between family that also affects our society.
