Business Ethics

In the documentary film SuperSize Me, Morgan Spurlock's objective is to see what happens to his health after thirty days of eating only food from McDonald's.

McDonald’s is killing Americans, at least that is what Morgan Spurlock believes. In his documentary Super Size Me he embarks on a quest to not only describe and use himself as an example of the growing obesity trend, but to offer the viewers with base-line nutritional knowledge that will allow them to draw their own informed conclusions. Spurlock's primary intention is to prove through self-experimentation that eating solely McDonald's food is dangerous. His secondary intention is to denounce the rising obesity rate in American by using statistics, his own research, and the opinions of experts. His broader message is for a general audience while he tailors select chapters towards more specific demographics such as parents or McDonald's

The purpose of Mr. Spurlock’s experiment was to see how eating McDonald's each day affected the daily lives of the American people and see how eating fast food contributed to the obesity. He travelled and investigated nutritionists to see what they recommended on how much fast food a person should eat and he used himself as a test subject. He went and asked people’s opinions of fast food and he saw that many eat it as convenience.

Fast foods are one of the biggest contributors. The documentary, “Super-Size Me”, shows a very detailed journey that Morgan Spurlock takes to investigate the real effects of consumption of McDonalds. Morgan Spurlocks deal is to eat McDonald’s for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day for thirty days. During this time his health would be tracked by a gastroenterologist, cardiologist, and a general practitioner in order to receive accurate medical attention and tracking. Within Mr. Spurlocks first two to four days he had vomited and started his days just not feeling well for no clear reason.

Now, what justification does Mr. Spurlock get for going on a McDonald’s diet for a month? Well before we get to that let's talk about the story that started his McDiet. Two girls sued McDonald's because they felt it was McDonald's fault that they were obese. Ashley Pelman was the young 14-year-old girl who was 4 feet, 10 inches tall and weighed about 170 pounds. Well the other girl, Jazlyn Bradley was 19 years old, 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighed about 264 pounds. Multiple courts had all said that the claimants would win the case if the somehow proved that McDonald's is dangerous if eaten on daily basis. After Mr. Spurlock heard about their story he was intrigued, and being a starved director wanting more than 10 minutes of fame he orchestrated an experiment in which he found out first hand how McDonald's would affect the average American if eaten every day for the next 30 days straight.

The doctors help appeal to logos through quantitative data and expert testimony by examining him before the experiment and determining that he is in great health condition with a body fat of ll% and a body weight of 185.5 pounds. They also examine him during the experiment to determine the effect of eating McDonalds on his health. In the course of eating McDonalds three times a day he gains weight and by the end has gained a total of 24.5 pounds and gained 18 percent body fat. The doctors concluded that his chance of developing heart disease had double due to his elevated blood pressures, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels. By having the doctors provide the data and expert examinations the credibly of his experiment was reassured. Along with the doctors lawyers that were suing the company were interviewed and a former US surgeon general. They all agreed that fast food was a problem but that eating out had increased over the years causing the increase in obesity. After completing one month of eating nothing but McDonalds, Spurlock and the doctors concluded that McDonalds’ fast food was the main cause of his dangerous

In the documentary, Supersize Me, Morgan Spurlock takes a big risk and sets out on what he calls “every eight-year-old’s dream.” He undergoes a month long, three-meal-a-day binge at McDonald’s to expose the tragic health effects. In one month he eats the same amount of McDonald’s food that nutritionists recommend eating over the course of eight years and gains nearly twenty-five pounds in the process, along with numerous health problems. I was shocked to see how quickly his health began to decline a week into the experiment, not only physically but emotionally as well. The more he ate the fast food, the more his body craved it. I think Morgan took a big risk jeopardizing his own health, but I think he really proved a point of the negative impact

Section 2: Key points. The McDonald's story begins with Morgan Spurlock. Morgan is an independent filmmaker, who conducted an experiment where he consumed nothing but McDonald's for 30 days. He traveled across the United States, speaking with various community groups about the hazards of eating fast food, all while setting himself up as a human guinea pig. He submitted himself to a full medical examination and was determined to be physically fit. After 30 days of nothing but McDonald's, he gained 25 pounds, his liver rivaled that of an alcoholic and his cholesterol level had risen from 168 to 230. He documented his personal journey,

With Several legal suits have been brought against McDonald's Restaurants that they are knowingly selling food that is unhealthy. Some of the court decisions have stated that the plaintiffs would have a claim if they could prove that eating the food every day for every meal is dangerous.

In 2002 in New York, two teenage girls sued McDonald’s for knowingly selling them unhealthy food that ultimately caused their obesity. One of the girls was 14 years old, four feet, ten inches tall and weighed 170 pounds. The other girl was 19 years old, five feet, five inches tall, and weighed 264 pounds. Several courts stated that the claimants would have a case if they could prove that eating McDonald’s food every day is dangerous to the human body. In response to these claims, director and filmmaker Morgan Spurlock created a documentary called Super-Size Me. Using his own body, he conducted an experiment to discover just how dangerous eating McDonald’s food can be to the average person’s

an action can't be right if the people who are made happy by it are outnumbered by the people who are made unhappy by it.

He has to eat everything on the menu for an entire month (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). He started by checking his body weight, height and shape with 3 different doctors, a nutritionist and a physical therapist, and need to keep check with them over the course of the month.

In this essay, I will discuss three sections of business among many which hold ethical issues. Those sections are advertising, product liability, and leadership ethics.

I will then choose one ethical issue and go into the detail about how ABC Widgets Inc. will implement a policy on how to avoid the ethical issue.

A: Karl has to deal with some ethical and possibly legal issues in the marketing of his game “Breakaway”. It is an issue ethically simply because he himself has to find out it is suitable to market a game that primarily gives its focus on nudity, violence, and gambling. When it comes to legal issues, is it legal to market these things in foreign countries and on the Internet? This is what he needs come to reality with and needs to think about. If they have the ability to market this game in other countries, then they would have to change different parts of the game for the countries that Will has looked into

Discrimination related to the employment in the businesses is one of the major ethical issues nowadays. It creates many problems in the workplace and can reduce the motivation level, loyalty and commitment with the firms. Discrimination on workplace can be defined as the imbalanced or unequal treatment with employees based on biases. This biasness may be based on age, sex, race, ethnicity, nation, language, religion and disability of employees etc. It is the right of the people to be treated equally and provision of equal opportunities without any discrimination in any sense. The discrimination has many forms in the firms like unequal pay compensations,
