Americans have become hypnotized by the trend of lawsuits. If an individual can find anyway to sue then a lawsuit will occur. David Zinczenko introduces this concept in his article‚ "Don’t Blame the Eater." He states that many frequent eaters of fast food are beginning to sue the corporations because they are now considered obese due to the food served to them at the fast food restaurant. I am of two minds about David Zincenzko’s claim that fast food corporations are to blame for obesity in America

Businesses Don’t Need a Social Conscience In this article‚ “Businesses Don’t Need a Social Conscience” by Jack Harris in the issue of Today’s Business Student February 2007‚ Harris stated that businesses do not have empathy for the people or the community. Companies only focus on the primary goal of generating a profit and do not care about their customers; however‚ more issues should be addressed. He has a valid point that businesses focus mainly on their profits. An example of this is that they

David Zinczeko argues in his article “Don’t blame the eater” that fast food companies are not to blame for the hundreds of millions of people suffering from obesity. He claims that this is a matter of personal responsibility‚ regardless of nutritional label and mislead advertising. “We should know that it is bad to eat fast food more than once a day.” I concur with Zinczenko on this argument because a 13-month study had shown that even with nutritional labeling on fast food products customers did

Northrop Frye Writing Assignment When writing literature‚ one must focus on the form and expression of the content rather than the content itself. In “The Singing School”‚ Northrop Frye argues that “the literary writer isn’t giving information‚ either about a subject or about his state of mind: he’s trying to let something take on its own form…” (Frye 17).

“Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life” (Faulkner 54). Time represents the ultimate decision maker throughout a person’s life‚ allowing for an individual’s triumph‚ but also for one’s downfall. In William Shakespeare’s play‚ As You Like It (1994)‚ this time that destroys and grows may appear to freeze as the characters move into the Forest of Arden‚ without use or knowledge of time‚ but it most certainly

This molecular orbital model can be used to explain why He2 molecules don’t exist. Combining a pair of helium atoms with 1s2 electron configurations would produce a molecule with a pair of electrons in both the bonding and the * antibonding molecular orbitals. The total energy of an He2 molecule would be essentially the same as the energy of a pair of isolated helium atoms‚ and there would be nothing to hold the helium atoms together to form a molecule. The fact that an He2 molecule is neither

Hades: Better than you think Most of the time‚ when prompted to think about Hades‚ you’d think of a god that’s so related to the dead that he’d be evil to every extreme. Death‚ destruction‚ malevolence‚ and suffering right? All sorts of evil for the god of the dead and ruler of the underworld. However‚ what if I told you that Hades wasn’t evil‚ he was actually better than he’s made out to be? Hades is actually not as bad as he’s thought to be because of his role‚ his personality‚ and his location

Lord Byron’s Don Juan is a satirical poem that offers a seemingly comical and serious outlook of sexuality. In three different sexual relations in three different places‚ the events that surround Don Juan are both laughable and questionable. From an early affair with Donna Julia‚ to an innocently‚ beautiful engagement with Haidee and finally an unfulfilled and avoided relation with the Sultana Gulbeyaz‚ Don Juan escapes through the clutches of love with shattered innocence‚ a broken heart and near
