    Over the past 20 years, the population of overweight individuals has grown tenfold. Within Northern America, many cities, towns, and even school cafeterias are inundated with fast food options. Eric Schlosser, in his book Fast Food Nation, conducts an in depth examination of the "hidden meal" within fast food companies, assesses the multiple influences of the fast food epidemic on modern American life, and analyzes the preparation of fast food. The book is divided into two parts; the first exhibits Schlosser’s extensive research, whereas the second part of the book is where Schlosser begins to reveal his viewpoints and ideas on the radical development of the fast food industry. Furthermore, Schlosser discusses how the commercialism of the American fast food industry has had a revolutionary influence on not only the average person’s diet and health, but also on popular culture and media, both farming and cattle industries, work habits, and every day life in general.…

    When Fowler first meets Pyle he involuntarily likes him. He is quiet (unlike most of the Americans that Fowler comes into contact with), thoughtful, and naive. Pyle’s intentions in Vietnam are ernest: “He was determined – I learned very soon – to do good, not to any individual person, but to a country, a continent, a world.” (Greene 32) Pyle is obsessed with an author called York Harding, an American who writes about the virtues of democracy and especially about a “third force” in Vietnam. The third force would be a native army fighting for democracy. Later in the book it becomes obvious that though Pyle’s intentions are invariably good, he isn’t self aware and is consequentially destructive. At one point Fowler converses with Pyle: “I’ve been to India, Pyle, and I know the harm liberals do. We haven’t a liberal party anymore – liberalism’s infected all the other parties. We are all either liberal conservatives or liberal socialists; we all have a good conscience. I’d rather be an exploiter who fights for what he exploits, and dies with it. Look at the history of Burma. We go and invade the country; the local tribes support us; we are victorious; but like you Americans we weren’t colonialists in those days. Oh no, we made peace with the king and we handed him back his province and left our allies to be crucified and sawn in two. They were innocent. They though we’d stay. But we were liberals and we didn’t want a bad conscience.” (121) In that situation there is no doubt that Pyle is the liberal. His actions are all selfishly motivated because they all serve to qualm his own ideals, his own moral standards; he never stops to see the concrete results of his actions. Though Pyle’s blind belief in an ideal is at first endearing (if mildly annoying), he goes too far when he plants a bomb in a crowded market in Saigon at the bequest of General The, who he believes is the “third force”. Fowler is initially livid at Pyle for causing the deaths, but after berating him…

    Students may choose a crisis or legal dispute not assigned by me in this course that has affected the meetings, events, or sports industry (or seriously affected a single meeting, event, or sports event) and write a thorough analysis of the occurrence using the best practices and principles discussed in this course. A case analysis is expected to be 5-7 double-spaced pages long and well organized with headers and clear explanations of what occurred, how it was handled, the outcome, and the fallout (e.g., a regulation was changed, an annual event was discontinued, etc.). Include a list of resources that pertain not only to the case itself but to key issues in the case (e.g., if your case is a specific attrition dispute, include a resource list for further learning about attrition).…

    What will happen if United States declare its official language as English? Will the country continue to accept immigrants afterward? It will probably be the end of the long history of the immigration in the country. It will need additional one or two generations to fully shift their languages to English. What about the legal U.S. citizens immigrated to this country and have continued to use their mother language until today? Do they have to switch their language to English regardless of their own long history in this country? Why do they have to do so? Additionally, it will have to solve numerous problems related to the issue of multilingualism in order to be monolingual. Rejecting to be multilingual will mean in rejecting to be America. Immigrants do not need to shift their language to English as quickly as possible, yet their culture and language should be treated with respect and integrated rather than assimilated into American society.…

    “The lottery” is a story that begins describing a village. The first descriptions that took my attention were “flowers were blossoming profusely” and “the grass was richly green”. After describing the village it passes to what people are doing. It says that they are getting together for an event, which is the lottery. All the heads of the family, who were men, had to drawn for their family. This had been going since before the oldest man in the village was born. We don’t really know the reason of this lottery until we get to the part where Old Man Warner starts mocking the young people around the other villages, who had stopped doing the lottery. He says “Used to be saying about ‘Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.’ This shows that that’s their tradition of getting heavier fields with corn, and their tradition was to stone one person for everyone else to be happy.…
