From the vogue for nubile models to the explosion in the juvenile crime rate, this modern classic of social history and media traces the precipitous decline of childhood in America today-and the corresponding threat to the notion of adulthood.

Deftly marshaling a vast array of historical and demographic research, Neil Postman, author of Technopoly, suggests that childhood is a relatively recent invention, which came into being as the new medium of print imposed divisions between children and adults. But now these divisions are eroding under the barrage of television, which turns the adult secrets of sex and violence into popular entertainment and pitches both news and advertising at the intellectual level of ten-year-olds.

Informative, alarming, and aphorisitc, The Disappearance of Childhood is a triumph of history and prophecy.

A Little Too Oily
These little pads work great in removing eye makeup after cleansing your face, but they leave an oily residue on your eyelids. I found that wiping with a cold wet cotton ball removes the excess oil from my eyelids but is necessary. I saw these in an advertisement for youthful looking skin, but I have not seen these results from the short period of using them. I will add they are soft on the eyelid and not scratchy and easy to use. Give them a try.

Will be my go-to
As good as my almay brand, but at a better cost point. Also removes waterproof mascara without eye irritation.

Gentle, refreshing, and doesn’t dry my skin out!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It’s great for everyday use, especially if you have sensitive or dry skin. The texture is smooth, it rinses off easily, and the scent is light and pleasant. I’ve noticed my skin looks clearer and more even since I started using it. Definitely a great option if you want something simple, gentle, and effective for daily cleansing!

Gentle Fragrance free Non-greasy Gel Cleanser
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this for my two teenage sons. I tend to lean towards more natural products. It's challenging to find affordable effective products that not loaded with all the additives and chemicals. While all the ingredients may not be completely "all natural" it is gentle and effective. My oldest has been using this for about 6 months and has had great results so far. He has already went through an entire bottle and asked for more. It does help keep his face well balanced and his break outs under control. It is a fragrance-free non greasy gel cleanser with a thin consistency. I got a good discount by purchasing two which is a great value for this product since it is already a decent price for what you get. My family also uses the Thayers witch hazel, milky cleanser, and milky toner and they are all great. We have some sensitive skin types in our family and Thayers does well with sensitive skin types including this Ph balancing cleanser.
