(US average is 23.2%). Over the past 20 years Americans are consuming twice as much high-fat snack food and three times as much soft drinks. Youth age 2 to 18 spend an average of six hours a day playing video games, surfing the net, and watching television. It has been shown that 82% of coronary heart disease and 91% of type 2 diabetes are caused by high-risk lifestyles. he number of deaths from sedentary living is two times greater than that from microbial agents and also exceeds all deaths from firearms, illicit usage of drugs, sexually transmitted diseases, and motor vehicle accidents.

Water Conservation Research
Public perceptions: People believe that as an individual they can make enough difference in terms of water conservation and also are not aware of how important it is.
Problem: Water shortage both national and international. (Water being wasted) Peoples lack of knowledge of the problem also.
Affected: People with water deficiencies, more so in the West were rain fall and precipitation is not as common.
Causes: Increase in population.
Statistics: 20% more water than what is now available will be needed for the additional three billion people who will be alive in 2025. As much a two-thirds of the world’s population could be water-stressed by 2025. Aquifers, which supply one-third of the world’s population, are being pumped out faster than nature can replenish them. Half the world’s rivers and lakes care seriously polluted. Major rivers, such as Yangtze, Ganges, and Colorado, do not flow to the sea for much of the year because of upstream withdrawals. The global demand for water has tripled over the last 50 years, while water tables are falling in many of the world's most populated countries, including the United States, China, and India. Many of the world's great rivers are a fraction of the size they once were, and some have dried up completely. Earth's lakes are vanishing at an alarming rate; the Aral Sea, for example, is less than a quarter its original size. Nevada's Lake Mead is half its original capacity; a recent study concluded that there is a 50/50 chance that the lake will be gone in less than fifteen years.
Cultural & Social Circumstances: The changes in earlier generations and how our generation wastes more and earlier were more conservative. Entertainment like golf courses and lush landscaping has also aloud for more waste to occur.
Organizations: Bureau of Reclamation Water Conservation Field Services Program, Water use it Wisely.
Promoting themselves: The provided information and helpful tips on how to conserve.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager1. The purpose of this ad is to get people to get interested in watching this original series on ABC family.
2. The intended audience is family oriented people who spend their Monday nights at home watching TV.
3. The advertisement is a side view of a young pregnant girl looking sadly down at her belly with the words of the ad on the right side of her, with a blue sky and clouds in the background.

2. The intended audience is young girls.
3. The ad has the 90201 actresses on top and the new colors of nail polish bottles toward the bottom of the page.

6. The cultural values in this ad are that young girls in California are all beautiful and have nice things.
7. I really find the effects and filters used on the photo intriguing and work well with the new colors of nail polish being shown.
Nikon 1. The purpose of this ad is to make people interested in the new Nikon camera's touch features.
2. The intended audience is mostly men because of the main quote is trying to make men jealous of Ashton.
3. It is a few pictures of Ashton Kutcher in different posses with the Nikon camera.
On the bottom of the ad it says "He's the man with the touch" and demonstrations of different features the camera has down at the very bottom.
4. The visual and textual contents work well together, both have a lot of movement but they don't fight with each other.
5. This ad uses perception and intellect prominently.
6. The cultural values that are represented in this ad are that men want to be wanted, by having that special something.
