Create a Boycott

 
          Boycotts are important social actions that have an astounding effect on what goods are produced and how they are produced.  By boycotting goods or services, it effects supply and demand nationwide.  
         Create an informational flier which will support a boycott.  Choose a good or service that you wish to boycott.  Within the flier explain what the product is, and give at least 3 reasons why you believe it should be boycotted.  Also include what alternatives the person reading your flier could do to support the boycott.
 Be creative with your explanations, but make them believable.

    DON'T GO TO MORNING PRACTICE!!!! IT IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH!!!! Going to morning practice takes away from valuable sleep time, which therefore will affect all aspects of your life. In addition to taking away from valuable sleep, running upwards of 6 miles a day is not good for people's bodies. Join me in not going to morning practice and preserve your health.

  2. I am going to boycott pop. Pop is unhealthy for you do drink while you are involved in a sport. I will be able to perform better in the sport that I am competing in. There are always better things for you to drink than pop. Water would be a better choice. Even flavored drinks are better for you than pop.

  3. I have decided to boycott the Newton Taco Bell as an act to get them to extend their hours past eleven P.M. The fact that Taco Bell is only open until eleven is inconvenient for Newton residents and surrounding areas. Also the Newton Taco Bell often has rude employees. I would like to be served my Tacos with a smile. One more thing about the Newton Taco Bell is that their bathrooms are vulgar. I think it's disgusting. Until the Newton Taco Bell decides to change their hours, work on their customer service, and clean up their bathrooms. Please boycott the restaurant. In the meantime feel free to use Taco Bells in other locations or just simply visit McDonalds or any other fast food joint when you're feeling hungry. Thanks for your support!

  4. I'm boycotting the Hesston Sonic. Whenever I go to Sonic in Hesston to buy a drink I more times than not receive slow service. The wait to get a simple drink during Happy Hour is annoying and should be a concern for Sonic. Also there has been a couple times that I have received the wrong drink and/or meal. Sometimes they are busy and it's somewhat understandable, however there has been times that I was one of the only ones there and I got the wrong thing. That doesn't really make sense. I have also heard from multiple former Hesston Sonic employees that the place is not very sanitary. I have been told that when cups are dropped on the floor (which is not clean enough) they still use them! I wouldn't want to drink out of that cup. Instead of going to Hesston Sonic you could just drive to Newton to their Sonic or go to some other fast food place.

  5. I am boycotting cross country morning practices. Waking up at 5:30 in the morning is insane, not to mention it cuts into the sleep time you need. On top of being tired from waking up so early, running 3miles makes you even more exhausted causing you to sleep during class and getting Saturday schools. Plus, all this running isn't healthy. You could pull a muscle or get really dehydrated. NO MORE MORNING PRACTICES!!

  6. Im going to boycott Abortion. I absolutely am against abortion. If you didn't want a baby you should have used protection. Sometimes things happen in life that cannot prevent pregnancy. The seed in your stomach is a person you just cannot kill it. Everyone should have a chance in life just like you. I THINK ABORTION SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED!

  7. I am going to boycott the school lunches we have here at Hesston High. The lunches are terrible, there not just not good, they are TERRIBLE. I understand they are following the rules but the amount of food they are providing is ridiculous. For a football player like me three meatballs for a main dish isnt going to fill me up for practice, i am going to pass out when we start doing gassers because i wont have any energy! Noone eat the schools lunches, maybe if no one buys anything then they will stop servicing icky meals. they also are in my opinion overpriced. they cost 2.10. That is a lot for a person who doesn't like fruits and vegetables because that would mean all they would get is 3 meatballs and a skoop of mac-n-cheese and that is not worth the 2 bucks.an easy alternative is going into the Pit Stop and buying a good sized meal for an okay price. No more school lunches, overpriced, not enough food, and the food is just bad, simple as that.

  8. I am boycotting McDonald’s. The worst part about McDonald’s is that they are promoting unhealthy eating habits to children. They are persuading kids to eat their food by including cheap toys in their happy meals. Fast food companies use free toys related to popular movies to appeal to kids. Most of their advertisements are about toys, rather than food. Then, they try to make the meals appear “healthier” by adding bags of apple slices. Typically the apples are expired or close to their expiration date. Plus, they are just plain gross! McDonald’s is also a MAJOR contributor to the increase of obesity among children. Instead of buying food from McDonald’s, go to places like Subway to get a meal that is healthier and has way less calories!

  9. I have chosen to boycott homework. I have stayed up till 11:30pm doing homework. Then the next morning the teachers expect me to be awake and paying attention. I can't do that after I have worked late into the night. I will have to sleep in until 8:30 just to catch up on sleep. I just wish that teachers would talk about who is giving out homework so all the kids don't have loads of homework. If the teachers would talk about it I think that would help.

  10. I am boycotting Spanish class at Hesston high. Why should we have to learn how to speak spanish if none of us speak Spanish. If immigrants come over to our country they should learn our language, not make us learn there language. We could use the money from all of the spanish classes into funding english classes. If say an immigrant cant afford a class, we could use the money we saved from not having spanish class to english classes.

  11. I am boycotting the Hesston sonic. I am boycotting them because i have had to wait a very long time many times. Sometimes it is ridiculous because I am one of the only people there. I have also had my order messed up many times. I can understand this if it is full, but not if there is not that many people there. I would just go to the Newton sonic instead because they have never got my order wrong. I have also never had to wait a long time there.

  12. I am boycotting lunch at Hesston High School. Every day we have to eat the food with no taste in it. It is outrageous that they serve the food without giving any flavor to the food what so ever. Until the food's taste has improved, I will bring my own lunch and will not eat the food at Hesston High School.

  15. What I would like to boycott Trucks that are lower then usall. There many resons why I would want to boycott because it’s a disgrace to trucks and it makes their truck company’s look bad as .so they should get rid of all trucks that are low and the lowing kit. Most people just lower the trucks so they can drift, Which I find worthless. If you want to drift just get a regular car and not do something like that to a truck because most trucks are made for haul or transport things.
