The Importance of The Matthew Movement

By: Matthew Mendizabal

The need for car safety started in 1800’s when Mercedes Benz made the first car. People started to die get injured and had to go to the hospital. Kids didn’t wear their seatbelt people didn’t pay attention to the road and crash.  Since the first car hit the road cars have begin to get safer.

Crash Test Dummies

Crash test dummies were invented by Samuel W. Alderson he was born (October 21, 1914 – February 11, 2005) He was the inventor of the crash test dummies. A crash test dummy is a plastic human that is built  to see what will happen to humans in car crashes.  The only thing a crash test dummy can do is break into pieces. Crash test dummies only move when they get impact in a crash test. on October 30, 2014 Humanetics made new crash test dummies that weigh 100 more because more people in America are getting more fat.

Seat Belts

The modern seat belt were made by Nils Bohlin in 1959. He was born on (July 17, 1920 – September 26, 2002) He was the inventor of the seat belt a seat belt is a strap that’s rubber it goes over your shoulder and across your chest to your waist. Volvo was the first car company to make seat belts Volvo was made by Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larson they created the company in April 14, 1927.  Assar Gabrielsson was born on(
August 13, 1891 – May 28, 1962) Gustaf Larson ( July 8, 1887 – July 4, 1968 ) Seat belts are made for people to survival car crashes so they don’t get hit that hard or take a big impact.

Air Bags

Air bags were made by John Hetrick he was born on(1840 – 1934)airbags were insulted in 1980′s and early 1990′s. Air bags were made for cars so people don’t hit hard on the steering wheel or anywhere else in the car. Frontal airbags have saved 25,782 lives between 1987 and 2008. However, they are supplemental safety devices. Always wear your seat belt. Place children 12 and younger in the back seat. The rear seat is the safest for children.
Cars are safer now, but people should be careful before they hit the road.  Be sure to check your car to see if there is anything wrong. I found this quote: “It takes 8,460 bolts to assemble an automobile, and one nut to scatter it all over the road. ~Author Unknown” So don’t be that nut and do everything you can to keep yourself safe.

The Importance of Civil Right Movement

By: Joshua Chavez

The Civil Rights movement started in the 1950’s, Before the Civil rights black people weren’t treated equally and segregation in schools forced colored people out of white people school.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr was a great man but was arrested many times. He was born in Atlanta, GA. He was educated in Booker T.
Washington High School. When he speaks it sounds like he runs the country. Before he became famous he was a pastor at a church. In August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr was on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial giving his famous “I have a Dream” speech at the end of the movement. About 200,000 people went to see Martin Luther King Jr give his speech. He influenced African Americans all over the USA to join him in peaceful marches and protests.

Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks was a brave woman that became an icon for the Civil Rights movement. She was born in Tuskegee, AL. She was coming back home from work. She was getting on the bus and found a seat then a few minutes later, a white passenger came. She w
ouldn’t give up her bus seat to the white passenger. So she was arrested because she didn’t give up her seat, it was the law back then. Then when she w
as released from prison she was the leader of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Little Rock Nine

The little rock nine are nine brave black students that wanted to go to the high school near their homes.  On September 24, 1957 the nine students go to Central High School which is only for white people only and the Little Rock Nine are black. At first they weren’t allowed to go to that school because the Governor of Arkansas and white people near the school.  Segregation had ended so they were allowed to go any school they wanted. They ended getting into school because they were guarded by US soldiers sent by President Eisenhower.  The Little Rock 9 were picked on by white students.  One was even burned by her classmates, but they never gave up and kept coming back to school.

As a result of the Civil Right movement Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and The Little Rock Nine all changed the rules of the USA. They all showed the country that there was no reason to treat other people differently because they are human beings and should be treated equally.

The Importance of Kids Safety Movement

By: Natalya

The Kids Safety Movement was a very important event to remember to this day. In the 1970’s when children were born, hospitals would charge parents a lot in their insurance funds. Also, back then there were no car seats, or gates. Since then, car seats were never invented so more children can get hurt easily. Over the past years everything has changed.

Child Seats

Over the years a man named Leonard Rivkin came up with a brilliant idea. CAR SEATS!! Leonard Rivkin has also made the most popular children seats called The Booster Seats. Booster seats were very popular back then and now, kids under 4-7 unless kids are too small now will be allowed to use the booster seats. Car Seats are exactly like Booster Seats but the only difference is that Car Seats have belts that are connected to the baby seat and it protects the child from getting hurt.

Bike Helmets

When it comes to training kids to ride a bike its very hard to keep them safe because its not YOU riding the bike its your CHILD thats riding it. Sometimes kids don’t like wearing their helmets just because its cool and other kids are wearing it, but what kids don’t know is when you have your helmet on it will protect you when you fall but when you don’t have a helmet on kids.  Your helmet will only work if you put it on
properly.  Make sure your helmet isn’t too big or too small.  If you are worried that your helmet isn’t right for you, you can ask someone that works at a bike store.

Bike helmets, baby gates, and car seats are all inventions that help keep kids safe.  Parents rely on safe products that need to be used correctly to keep their children safe. With today’s technology it has been very helpful because less kids get hurt and more kids are safer.

Tobacco safety movement  

by: Amanda carpio  

Tobacco and the use of it has been going on for more than 400 years including 2014. Smoking has killed many people also people suffer of having a hole and tube in there neck to breath. Packaging for tobacco has now changed to warn people or young adults about the dangers of

Now in 2014, 30% fewer people smoke now than then because back in the day they thought that tobacco healed everything. Every week more than 8,400 people die from smoking. Smoking does hurt your body including your lungs and heart. For each of those deaths young teenagers and adults become smokers and smoke every day.Cigarettes have chemicals like methanol, methane, toluene, and tar. Each of these can cause many bad things when you consume them.

Back in the day they had to ban TV ads that were cigarette based.They had to ban those ads because younger adults and children were influenced by those ads.That means no more advertising on anything else for example clothing, mugs, socks.

Back in the day people would put lettuce in the tobacco tube to try and help their addiction and hope it would be the same. There’s a lot of people trying to help people with their addiction with a whole load of treatment.

 
 How Volvo helps

One of the companies that helped car safety was Volvo. The founders of Volvo were Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf  Larson they created the company was in April 14, 1927.Volvo helped a lot because they were the first cars to have seat  belt. In 1958 the seat belt was released by Volvo. The creator of the seatbelt was Nils Bohlin.Volvo also created the anti-lock brake which was made in 1966.The anti-lock brake helped a lot because it

was stronger than all the other ones. In my opinion Volvo is the safest car company.

How Ralph Nader Helped

Ralph Nader was A famous person that convinced people that if yo u go to fast you might die. He was born in February 27,1934 The way he convinced them was by making A book called unsafe at any speed. It was published in 1965. With that book it made big changes to the United States. Another fact about Ralph Nader is that he ran for president.

Volvo and Ralph Nader did big changes to the U.S.A and in this essay it told you most of it. This is the end of the essay and be careful in the streets, put the seat belts on, and drive in speed your suppose to.

The Moment of Tobacco Safety
By: Scott

The Movement of Tobacco safety started in the mid 1960 ’s and continues today. The movement has changed or saved the lives of countless people. The sale of tobacco started in the USA when Indian tribes were here and went global. It still goes on today. It will probably go on for years maybe decades or possibly centuries.
Did you know a cigarette company used no tobacco and instead was made of lettuce? Since it didn’t have tobacco in it, it failed to sell. This info tells you only cigars and cigarettes with tobacco sell and are wanted. The people that smoked before 1964 thought it was a medicine for everything. They thought it was a miracle drug. They did not know that it harmed there body. It was depressing that it killed them and they had know idea what it was.

7.3% of mixed races smoke all over the world. Every day more smoke. So many people die or get sick all because of smoking. 1.875% of smokers die every year. 3.0% of people join smoking and 2.0% quit. In 1965 42% of the world smoked, that went down to 18% in 2012, and now its at 7.3% of the world on 11/25/14. I am proud of the people who quit. 34.7% of the world quit smoking. From this data it says that tobacco safety movements take a huge part, and grown ups quit when they gain responsibility.

India steps up tobacco warnings to combat nearly 1 million deaths!!! India has stepped up efforts to curb nearly 1 million tobacco-related deaths a year by issuing new rules to embolden (strengthen) the health warnings on tobacco packets and make the country one of the world’s strictest (enforce directly) in terms of tobacco labelling. But while regulators (a person or thing) try to crack down on branded (types) cigarettes and similar products, there is still a vast unregulated (not controlled or supervised by law) market for tobacco in India. And it’s far from clear that slapping warnings on cigarette packs will have much impact on health.

Cigars and cigarettes will destroy your lungs on the inside. Heres a picture of what it looks like.

The smokers lung is terrible. Healthy lung is somebody who doesn’t smoke. There both nasty but one is healthy. That is what is in your body. There is a difference, good lung and bad lung.  What if you smoked and it showed on the out side. Nobody would want to look at you. I’m not going to show you a picture, though there are pictures. Here is a web site if you want to see http://shiftucc.wordpress.com/2014/03/01/the-smoking-gun/.

Overall you should not smoke. I hope you learn from this info about tobacco and never use it. You can help to stop tobacco, and help people get from harms way. Help the the fight to end tobacco! Encourage people to quit! Never use tobacco products! Teach people, and we can end tobacco use. Overcome tobacco and help others overcome it to. Help end the fight.

Kid Safety Movement

By: Kyla Randolph

Introduction

The Kid safety movement started in the 1970’s. Terrible things can happen when children aren’t safe. Children all over the world can get hurt at anytime. Parents try to babyproof their homes so there babies won’t hurt themselves. Sometimes, children over the age of 12 are responsible for their younger siblings if they have any, for when their parents leave to do something. Families, companies, and the government have worked to make sure kids are staying safe.

Parent gotta do what a Parent gotta do

People keep their children safe to protect them from dangerous things like closing there finger in the door, touch a sharp knife or a needle, and especially when children don’t listen to their parents and do things when their parents told them to not that practice and never knew not to do it. Parents should know how to take of their child.

A Baby is Born
When you take your child from the hospital born or adopted you must take care of it. This is a privilege to have a child. So you must protect them as you would protect your family. Now you have little people running in your house. You never know when they may hurt themselves and will start to cry. You are there guardian.

Car Seats

Child car safety should be thanked by Graco, Gerber, Orbit baby, Diono, and other types of children companies to keep them safe. Parents don’t listen to the law and they just break it. Parents let children sit in the front seat, never have their seat belt on while they are in the car and driving.

In conclusion

I want to stop child harm and I want children to be safe and and to have parents follow the rules so NO child will get harmed. I see children get all the time and I wanted to stop that. I lost family members that I lost, but losing a child is more scarring and disperating. I listen to the knews children get hurt the time. Join with me and help the children safety rank to the number one priority so everyone can start child safety.
