Fast food restaurants represent one of the largest segments of the food industry with over 200,000 restaurants and $120 billion in sales in the U.S. alone. Fast food restaurants, also known as quick service restaurants, are noted for their short food preparation time. Some of the largest players in this category include international giants like McDonald 's and Yum! Brands, national chains such as Wendy 's and Burger King and regional players like Jack In The Box and Sonic. Firms within the fast food industry fall under the market structure of perfect competition. Market structure is a classification system for the key traits of a market. The characteristics of perfect competition include: large number of buyers and sellers, easy entry to and exit from the market, homogeneous products, and the firm is the price taker. Many fast food franchises fit all or most of these characteristics. Competition within the industry as well as market supply and demand conditions set the price of products sold. For example, when Wendy 's introduced its $.99 value menu, several other companies implemented the same type of changes to their menu. The demand for items on Wendy 's value menu was so high because they were offering the same products as always, but at a discounted price. This change in market demand basically forced Wendy 's competition to lower prices of items on their menu, in order to maintain their share of the market. The previous example illustrates the elasticity of the fast food industry. Supply and demand set the equilibrium price for goods offered by franchises within the industry. Competitors of Wendy 's must accept the prices established by the consumer demand for the value menu. If consumers didn 't respond so positively to Wendy 's changes, other firms wouldn 't have had to adjust prices. On the flip side of this concept, there is no need for franchises to further…
The parental responsibilities that I think would be the most challenging are teaching discipline and supporting them financially. I have come to this conclusion because teaching discipline is a great challenge because sometimes children are rebelious and disobedient. Supporting your…
Since I grew up in a family with an abusive father, my response to conflict differs from most people. My father resolved conflict by shouting, degrading, and often physically abusing the other person. My mother’s response to conflict was to try to settle a compromise or walk away until her own frustration was no longer there. I think based off the conflict responses I observed growing up, my responses are a mixture of my parents. When in an intense argument with someone, I attack their character and then silence them out. Family members play a big part in how we resolve conflicts, because a good portion of our lives begin by us spending time with and watching our relatives. We, as a society, adapt skills and mannerisms from those closest to…
The family dynamics of the TV show “Married with Children” depicts a dysfunctional, but yet understanding between each family member. Their daily interaction with each other would suggest lack of communication that is taken seriously in the family unit.

From the day you were born, the different styles of parenting have influenced every breath and every step you have ever taken. This world of parenting involves many different intricacies and techniques that many people may not have even noticed. The endless amount of parenting tricks begs many to question at which techniques actually work and which ones that just aren’t true. Luckily, thousands of generations of parents have made it easier to ascertain which parenting techniques are the most effective in properly raising a child.

In the essay "The Color of Family Ties" by Naomi Gerstel and Natalia Sarksian, the authors assert that traditional nuclear families are not the only ones capable of supportive relationships and strong family connections. In the other hand, minority families also discover that their families illustrate the most supportive relationships and strongest family ties. According to Gerstel and Sarksian, they states "Black and Latino/a, especially Puerto Rican families are more disorganized than White families, and that their families ties are weaker" (47). People usually believe Black and Latino/a are weaker and more disorganized than Whites. But the authors also point out "Minority individuals are more likely to live in extended family homes than Whites and in many ways more likely to help out their aging parents, grandparents, adult children, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, and other skin" (48). In my opinion, I agree with this statement and I believe untraditional families are more likely to live with extended family than Whites. In "An Indian Story" by Roger Jack, it talks about nontraditional families with supportive relationships and strong family ties, which is a good example to describe of minority.…
We are a multi generational family moving in together for the first time.

Wyatt's grandparents are currently living in San Pedro and the LAUSD does not offer these services. So the decision was made to move in together despite the obstacles to give Wyatt a home and the…
