Chapter 3 Question
Why haven't fast food workers unionized and what tactics have management used to defeat union efforts? It will take a paragraph to thoroughly answer this question. Answers should be posted on your home page.

Fast Food workers can't unionize because if they do the restaurant can just ignore their efforts and move directly to getting new workers. Usually if it is an illegal immigrant working then they can't go to a lawyer of a person to help them, because they aren't people of the USA.  


Chapter 2 Question
Discuss the fast food industry's marketing to children and explore the ethics of targeting children, especially as they relate to advertising in schools. To thoroughly address this prompt your response will need to be at least a paragraph long.
Targeting the children is a good way to get to the parents because if they use toys to get the children to want to come, knowing children most of them will whine till they get, which will get the parents to get the food with the toy, and knowing a parent they wont have wanted to buy the food to be wasted so they will make the children eat it, if the children enjoy the food, they will want more of it along with the toy later. So, the parent will hopefully be persuaded to go there more often to appease the children.

1.This article is discussing how marijuana should be legalized. If marijuana was legalized we would make more money from taxes and save money by not having to spend so much on law enforcement and putting people in jail. If marijuana were legalized we wouldn't have to spend so much money on taxes to keep people in jail just because they owned marijuana. In the end there are just to many benefits of legalizing marijuana that it would be idiotic not to.

2.The author is telling us that there are a lot of benefits to marijuana and legalization of it as well. It would bring in a lot of money, lower prison taxes, and create new jobs for our economy. His main argument is probably to try and show us how it is foolish that we continue to make marijuana illegal when so many benefits are open to us if we would we just change our mind.

3.One assertion made is that if marijuana were legal California would be able to bring in 1.4 billion for the country. Another assertion is that marijuana is used in medical treatment of people with cancer, aids and other debilitating diseases.
