Video Summary: The All Americans Burger Video
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

    Morally speaking, diversity among individuals is dependent on thoughts that later prevail into actions. However, subsequent of said actions, thoughts may further devise for a later debate. Throughout American history, numerous advancements have further separated those once solely comprised of conservatism with vastly evolved morals. As a result, an abundance of controversial life-changing events dwindles within, thus establishing cultural issues. One cultural issue today resides within cheating, more specifically affairs. The animated television show Bob’s Burgers, centers one of its episodes titled “An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal” on the concept of affairs. The writers/producers allude to the social acceptance of partaking in an affair…

    Eric Schlosser begins his book Fast Food Nation by comparing the secrets Cheyenne Mountain hides as a metaphor for the hidden dangers of the fast food industry. From the outside, Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs, Colorado appears to be a beautiful mountain, just another peak in the wild wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. To an observer, there is nothing unusual about it. In reality it hides the North American Aerospace Command, the Air Force Space Command, and the United States Space Command. Cheyenne Mountain is a top-secret, underground combat operations center. It covers four and a half acres and is designed to withstand a nuclear explosion. Schlosser discusses the origins of fast food, how it is made, and its impact on communities and farmers.…

    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…

    The assignment was for us to give the viewer a “slice of us”. We were supposed to paint our something that means a lot to us. I chose an In-N-Out burger because that was the only picture I had on my phone from my first Thanksgiving in Nevada with my family. I want this piece to give you a good vibe when you look at it. You might not be able to comprehend why I drew this because it has more meaning behind it than just a painting of a piece of food. The reason I chose this picture to paint is because it was my first Thanksgiving with my dad’s aunt, uncle, and cousins. I really didn’t have any influences for this piece, but if I had to pick an artist or inspiration for my artwork would be In-N-Out Burger.…

    If I was a shopper in that store, I definitely would have said something to help. Unfortunately, prejudice is still prominent today, as the video portrays. The society we live in can be so belligerent to the world around us. As Americans, we are so distracted that we neglect those who really do need our help, and we should be able lend out a helping hand. The African American lady in the store was in strong need of a helping hand. Gratefully, she was helped by some shoppers in the store, but some is not enough. Clearly, prejudice is not allowed, but people still discriminate.…

    True event: When I was a younger man back in 1973 or 74, I was out in (Royal Oak) near the (Detroit Zoo). I cannot remember the reason I went out there more than likely just joy riding, I use to do a lot of that when I was younger since the age of 18, and mostly I have driven new cars all my adult life. I saw a sign for a delicatessen that offered corn beef sandwiches among others; so I stopped, and went in to buy a sandwich. When I entered there were people already in line placing and receiving their orders and more people came in after me; you did not need to have a number for your turn to place an order. The order taker or waitress a (white female), was doing a good job of calling the correct person for their orders until my turn was up. When my turn came the order taker asked someone for their order that I felt entered after I did, but I saw not sure. Anyway after this person made their order (MY turn), wrong; she asked someone else could she help them, but what she did not know was that me and this person had short small talk while waiting our turn. Instead of stepping up to place an order, this person said; I think gentlemen is suppose next, the order taker said (oh sorry), and asked me (what do you want)! I looked at her and said not a thing from this place, and turned and walked out. As I left I could hear a few people telling her about manners and he was just another customer regardless. Oh did I mention that I was the only person of color in the delicatessen. I was not embarrassed, but angry as a (**********).…

    Of course, I got easily upset by that comment, and I react by getting up from the chair, looking into that person's eyes and said: "That's why the people do not want us in this country, or anywhere else. Unfortunately, that comment makes our soul poor, and is sad that we -called Hispanics or Latinos have those prejudiced comments towards another culture ". Everyone at the table was silent, looking at each other. One of my husband's friends said: "you don't what you are talking about because you're a woman and you work with Afro-American people so obviously you will defend their race". I replied: "I respect, and all of you don't know the huge meaning of that word". According to the video #3; I totally support the lady's statement about how people treat us with a prejudice manner because we don't belong to this country or because our skin color is not white or because we don't speak English like everyone in this country. I support the idea that being bilingual is a huge impact that we can offer to this country. Moreover, male and female should be treated…

    Writers who have the same or similar ideas often interpret and present them in many different ways. Tone and style are two key factors that can differ one writers work from another. In American Fat by Russell Baker, he gets his point across in a more comical way as opposed to Politics and the English Language by George Orwell. George Orwell gets his point across in a more formal way with more facts and research. Even though both writers share the same idea about how words in the English language are commonly used unnecessarily, they presented their arguments in very different ways.…

    In that same article that I read she told about her childhood when the kids in grade school, her school serve tacos for lunch and the kids would throw them on my tray, saying, "Here, you eat them. It's your kind of food." No one should ever do that to anyone especially a kid who is in grade school and doesn’t know what to say because they can’t. This racism needs to stop soon because it is outrageous and no person should ever have to go through any of this kind of rude and horrible racism. It’s horrible to ever have to deal with that, kids now deal with it and they shouldn’t because they are young and they should grow up learning that people should be treated the…
