The All Americans Burger video shows a mother and daughter trying to order, however the mother doesn’t know English properly. The daughter speaks fluent English and assisting her mother to read the menu. The situation is being presented in this video is that people that don’t speak English are being discriminated in the United States. People responded by speaking to the manager, others by facing the aggressor and some by inviting them to eat. The way this people act towards this situation make me happy. Knowing that there's many people that do not judge others just because they can’t speak a certain language is horrible. The purpose of this video was to show how many people are judged incorrectly by disrespectful people. If I had been in this…

Captivating audiences and myself from the first episode, Friday Night Lights, has a complex and dramatic plot line. Dillon, a small Texas town, rallies around the high school football team on their journey to the state football championship, but the voyage is not without love, drama, and learning experiences. The characters within the program have diverse dispositions, representing the wide variety of personalities within Southern culture. Friday Night Lights exploits the events of what would happen in a real Texas football town through a fictitious story, while highlighting many common themes of Southern culture, such as, escapism, the Southern Belle and Gentleman stereotypes, and the depiction of “white trash”.…

The film “The Breakfast Club” directed by John Hughes is a compelling film that illustrates the inner working of the teenage mind-set. A film quite literally opens your eyes to how teenagers work within different stereotypes. John Hughes is able to show how although each character may give the impression that everything is “OK” but really, on the inside their whole life is just constant stress. This stress, which numerous things, including their parents and peers brought on, effected them in a way in which throughout the film, we as the audience have more insight into their lives as teenagers. Many of the characters in this film are easily relatable; however, Hughes has been able to show the differences within the inner workings of their…
The purpose of this assignment is to examine the Five Guys Burger and Fries recipe for success as it relates to entrepreneurial leadership. Five Guys Burger and Fries was established in 1980 by Mr. Jerry Murrell and Mrs. Janie Murrell. Since that time the company has blossomed into a franchise with locations all over the United States and Canada. In developing this paper concepts will be identified in the areas of the free enterprise system, factors that drive supply and demand, factors of stability in a nation’s economy, and social and ethical responsibility. According to Boone & Kurtz (2012), “the willingness of individuals to start new ventures drives economic growth and keeps pressure on existing companies to continue to satisfy customers” (p.11). After reviewing the Five Guys website it is evident that the company has what it takes to remain a competitor in today’s fast food market.…
Entrepreneurs are the heart and soul of the American economy and are responsible for the creation of many of our Country’s jobs. 99% of all U.S. businesses meet the definition of small business; “a business that is independently owned and operated, does not dominate in its industry and employs fewer than 500 employees” (pg 433). Without individuals that are willing to take risks and who are driven to succeed under their own power, we would not have companies like In N Out Burger. The Snyder family founded In N Out Burger in the pursuit of the “American Dream”; work hard and prosperity will follow. The American Dream is what this Country was founded on. Had the pioneers feared failure, we would not be here today, “Fear: In business, as in life, we all get afraid, but what do we do about it? Successful entrepreneurs learn how to push through fear and embrace their failures. When the fear of failure is looming at the door, these men did not look for an escape route. They pushed on.” (The Daily Record). At some point, it seems, everyone dreams of being their own boss and leaving the politics of corporate America behind, many succeed, but many more fail. “The SBA reports that as many as 60% to 80% of new businesses fail in their first five years of operation” (pg. 436). Failure has several definitions, but ultimately it means the end of a business. What makes one business flourish and another fail? There is no one answer to this question. What makes the ultimate difference in the success of a business, is people. In N Out Burger is an example of a company that continues to thrive because it has great people. The leadership of the company maintains the values that help found the business and invests in its people so it can continue to be a profitable business. In N Out Burger started as a roadside hamburger stand in 1948 by…
John Oliver's observations changed my views on this issue dramatically and refuted my strong belief that decades of more open discussion of transgender persons' problems by popular media managed to ensure their cultural acceptance in the same way as educative attempts made by media over last decades helped to reduce cultural prejudices against bisexuals or homosexuals. This comedian also challenged my belief that decades of discussion of this issue by media would inevitably result in substantial increase in awareness about transgender people and their needs. Nevertheless, contrary to my beliefs, many people who regularly appear on television still lack basic knowledge about transgender people what in turn demonstrates that American popular culture is still not ready to treat all people equally without regard to their gender identity.…
The television show Family Guy has been one of the most popular tv shows of all time, and for good reason. While an entertaining and amusing to most, the show reinforces stereotypes and labels given to those who are in lower social classes and of color. The premise of the whole show is following a man named Peter Griffin and his family on whatever adventure they may embark upon. In every episode, there is some type of remark, gesture, or even all out rant on another culture or person. In the episode, “Stewie Goes for a Drive”, Stewie, being the youngest in the family and only a baby, decides to go for a ride in Bryan’s car. Once Stewie is out on the open city streets, he becomes distracted by looking at his phone, then the radio, and before…
When All in the Family came out in 1971, it caught an impressive amount of attention. The CBS sitcom ventured into the dangerously taboo ideas and viewpoints held by conservative individuals in the early 1970s and brought them into the public dialogue through the loud, uncensored mouth of Archie Bunker. Like it or not, this show proudly displayed the inner racist, sexist, and otherwise bigoted monologue of many Americans. This is an impressive change as compared to the insult-minimal days of the Leave it to Beaver show in the 1950s. Instead of Beaver failing a test, this show dealt with substantial and current problems such as racism, sexism, and politics; however, this is only one reason why All in the Family was so hotly discussed and debated over at the time of its release.…
Since the government issued some policies to make racial discrimination illegal and Since President Barack Obama succeeded in stepping on the American political stage, it seems America has entered the post-racial era. However, even though the U.S. has made an improvement in terms of racial issues, it is not easy to completely change the whole nation’s attitudes towards minorities. In fact, stereotypes and panics about minorities still exist. Among them, one popular stereotype is that minorities are hypersensitive to race issues, which is partially derived from the whites’ panic that the population of minorities will exceed that of whites. This can be best illustrated by…
For my social norm violation I decided to order Burger King’s and Wendy’s food at McDonald’s. I chose to break this social norm because, here in America, the majority of people know what type of food each fast food chain offers. For example, everyone knows that a Big Mac is from McDonald’s and a Whopper is from Burger King. I wanted to see the reaction I would get from the McDonald’s employees if I tried to order a Whopper and a baconator. So, I went to the McDonald’s on Weber at a time when it wasn’t busy (so I wouldn’t hold up the line if I took a long time). I pulled up to the McDonald’s drive-thru menu and the man asked me what I wanted. I told him that I would take 2 Whoppers with no cheese and a small fry. At first, he said ok but then realized what I had just said. He…
Picture a gorgeous landscape of lush green, exotic flowers, and the bluest ocean you have ever seen. The sun gently warms you while you attempt to absorb the explosion of colors around you. Your'e patiently waiting on a Hawiian beach to meet with the love of your life, except your'e not alone. There are fifteen other women also patiently waiting to meet "the love of their life". This is the opening scene for My Antonio, one of the many reality t.v. shows that grace our television sets today. One might claim that this is an example of how the american morale has declined. Trying to find love on national television by having multiple prospects at one time. David Whitman writer of "America Is Not In Moral Decline" contests that the American morale is not one of a declining matter. He continues to go through a list of hand picked facts in the attempt to give his claim value and relevance. Let's take a moment to picture and compare America today with America 50 years ago.…
“They have no central leadership, no master plan, no fixed structures, and no self-representation as a single entity. Their actions as a group are the result of local contacts and temporary synchronizations. These forms of collective performances are responsible for numerous ongoing cultural, social, and political transformations.” (Fischer-Lichte, 2009:1)…
Racism is the belief that one’s race is superior to another’s. With this belief people act accordingly and treat the inferior race unfairly. In the past this country has gone through their fair share of racist acts and laws. From slavery of African Americans to the Jim Crow laws, we as people have constantly placed labels on others to make ourselves superior. Although currently the level of racism has diminished greatly in comparison to our past, racism still does exist today. It can occur in an office, in a supermarket, or wherever there is an abundant number of different people and different cultures. But there is an area of racism that goes unnoticed in society that needs to be addressed and that is racism in restaurants.…
