This is due to the fact that the higher priced toys are located at eye level and on the lower shelves. This allows easier access for the children to grab and beg their parents to get them the toy. By doing this, Wal-Mart promotes higher sales. The toys are also separated by gender on each isle, and are now available in multicultural backgrounds.Task Three

Summary ThreeIn watching this movie I noticed several different cultures/backgrounds with the characters. I seen how the movie promotes self-esteem by showing children participating in many different activities. Morality is present in the movie when the kids track down and capture the men trying to scare every one away, and then when they call the police to arrest them. It is also present when the money that the criminal men were after is used to combine both camps instead of the kids using it on their selves.
