London’s Carnaby Street was a new fashion wave described as modern in the 1960’s. Rapid growth and success came from the ability to bring key fashion trends to its store for the fashion forward consumers, both men and women.

This resulted in a number of shows about blacks, such as A Different World (1987–1993), Fresh Prince of Bel Air (1990–1996), and In Living Color (1990–1994). The latter show purposefully based much of its irreverent humor on African American stereotypes. The Fox television network, which produced Living Single, Martin, and South Central, became the first television network to focus on attracting black viewers.

Up until that time, clothing trends had largely been set by fashion houses that catered to the adult market and the dress style of young people had simply followed adult fashions. As cinema, television and rock 'n' roll swept the world, however, the youth market clambered to copy the 'style of the stars'. Teenage fashion quickly developed into a huge industry in its own right. During this period, teenagers also had increased buying power. Newly-affluent parents could now afford to give their teenagers generous pocket money, much of which was spent on acquiring the latest fashions.
Zero Tolerance In the article entitled “No Mercy,” Malcolm Gladwell writes on the zero tolerance policies in our schools. The essay is an argument against zero-tolerance and a return for discretionary justice. He gives different examples to identify his position such as a Cambridge University student that attempted to poison his tutor, and a football quarterback that was cut from the team for being overpaid on his job.

Gladwell’s argument draws your attention to the fact that at some point in life children will be children and make stupid mistakes.

A solution to the Amex problem would be to temporarily shut down their company since they can’t handle being truthful to consumers based on their false advertising about the Blue Sky program. Temporarily shutting down the company would address the problem by making Amex realize what they are doing to consumers isn’t okay. The government has a federal agency called the Division of Advertising Practices that need to monitor advertisements more carefully because the government needs to stop these crimes immediately.The government should step up solving these crimes faster because Georgia Peanuts was selling salmonella-infested peanut butter to the public for MONTHS before the government did anything. Amex was scamming people for 9 YEARS before the government found
After the banning at Concord, many libraries followed this precedent, banning it regularly from the children’s section. Twenty years after the publication of Huck Finn, it was also banned in Brooklyn, New York. Adults believed Huck was a bad role model for kids: he ran away, stayed dirty, used bad grammar, chewed tobacco, and never followed rules. Since the 1930’s, many libraries and schools across the nation have adopted the use of a revised Huck Finn with omitted scenes and substituted words (“The Banning of Huckleberry Finn: The Pros and Cons of the
