Module 3, Week 1 Discussion

Tavis Salas posted Nov 15, 2019 7:58 PM

It’s unreal to think that fast food chains and distributors are to blame for the obesity crisis.  There are healthier options and lifestyle alternatives open to everyone.  I firmly believe that it is a choice, and no one is FORCED to eat a certain way or follow a specific unhealthy diet.  Even though it is the marketing that catches the consumers’ eyes with commercials, billboards, or other means of advertising, that doesn’t mean the public HAS to have it.  It really comes down to what ideas companies come up to better serve their customers.  (Tanner & Raymond, 2012).  It’s business 101.  What attracts them?  How does an organization grab the market’s attention?  Businesses only exist if society allows them to.  The one thing food marketing may do is highlight their new products.  Everyone wants to see new, and everyone wants to try something new.  Look at the noise that was made when Popeye’s released their chicken sandwich.  The public went wild!  In terms of the “obesity” crisis, companies should (and already do) make nutrition facts available so consumers know what their products contain.  It is not their responsibility to monitor how much and how often the public buys them.  At the end of the day, a fast food market is only concerned about profitability.  Yes, I do think it costs more to eat healthier, but a lifestyle change other than dieting also contributes to a good fitness journey.  It’s not always about what you see, but what you decisions you can make to better yourself.  But to blame someone else for the decisions YOU choose to make is a little far-fetched.  I enjoy a nice Big Mac from time to time, but I also know I’ll have to put in some work in the gym…because I know McDonald’s isn’t the reason I may or may not put on a couple pounds.

Economic

/in /by

Shelly Acres, whose grandmother gave her a family recipe for making pies, loved to cook, and she decided to start a business she called Mrs. Acres Homemade Pies. The company produces specialty pies and sells them in local supermarkets and select family restaurants. In each of the first six months, Shelly and three part-time employees sold 2,000 pies for $4.50 each, netting $1.50 profit per pie. The pies were quite successful and Shelly could not keep up with demand. The company’s success results from a quality product and productive employees who are motivated by incentives and who enjoy being part of a successful new business.

 

To meet demand, Shelly expanded operations, borrowing money and increasing staff to four full-time employees. Production and sales increased to 8,000 pies per month, and profits soared to $12,000 per month. However, demand for Mrs. Acres Homemade Pies continues to accelerate beyond what Shelly can supply. She has several options: (1) maintain current production levels and raise prices; (2) expand the facility and staff while maintaining the current price; or (3) contract the production of the pies to a national restaurant chain, giving Shelly a percentage of profits with minimal involvement.

 

  • Explain the relationship between supply and demand for Mrs. Acres Homemade Pies.

Poems about America

/in /by

Please answer each question in a well-developed paragraph. This message board is worth considerably more points than usual since it involves several reading assignments at once and since we are not having quizzes over these readings, so take your time! As always I encourage you to engage with the posts of your classmates.

1) What is the tone of Walt Withman’s poem, “I Hear America Singing”?  Notice the kinds of people/professions he mentions and how he describes them.  What is his view of America?  Why is he “singing” about it?

2) Langston Hughes is one of the most famous black poets to come out of the Harlem Renaissance (you can Google this if you want – we’ve talked about it before with Ralph Ellison).  Think of his poem, “I, Too [Sing America]” as a response to Whitman’s poem.  How does Hughes feel about America and what is the tone of his response to Whitman?

3) “The New Colossus” is engraved on one of our most famous national monuments: the Statue of Liberty.  It was commissioned as a symbol of the United States to people coming here for the first time through Ellis Island in New York. Do you think “The New Colossus” is still an accurate description of America?  Have our attitudes changed about welcoming in outsiders?  For the better or worse?

4) Billy Collins (who you read last week) usually writes funny poems. His poem “The Names,” however deals with very serious subject matter.  While he was serving as the national poet laureate of the US (like a national representative who writes poems for special occasions), 9/11 occurred.  Collins, as the poet laureate, was called upon by Congress to write a poem memorializing the event to be read on the floor of Congress on the one-year anniversary.  Did you find the poem a moving tribute?  Why or why not?

5) Martin Espada’s poem is also a tribute to those who lost their lives on 9/11.  Espada is particularly paying tribute to the undocumented men and women who worked in the World Trade Center’s restaurant.  Because they were undocumented, on the yearly reading of names at the memorial service, their names are not read.  How does this affect your reading of the poem?  Do you think Collins’ or Espada’s poem is more powerful?
