Dinner's Done Assignment

Nowadays, many people start living a healthy lifestyle. People realize an importance of caring about what is in their food and benefits of home cooked meals over processed food. Home Cooking is not just healthier, but also it has tons of benefits. Simple examples are saving money, controlling body weight and avoiding food poisoning. “Homemade is the New Organic” written by Rachel Jones for the Atlantic (2015), discussed the new food trend-cooking at home. In her article, she explained how cooking is becoming popular recently. An earlier time, a family which has low-income had no choice but to use homemade food. Today, however, meaning of homemade food changes. People start to appreciate the goodness of cooking at home and intentionally choose the homemade. Moreover, she mentioned that social media has a huge effect on this change. Since we have all the necessary tools and food in our kitchen, only a bit of time needs to be devoted. Basically, she tried to inform a general public that home cooking has an essential value in our life. In my opinion, Rachel successfully achieves her intention with the help of following rhetorical strategies: logos, ethos and counterpoint.

“A Family Supper” by Kazuo Ishiguro has an interesting twist on love and family, albeit grotesque to some, the literature is meaningful. The characters played a major role in how the family dynamics played against one another. The family home sets the reader up to understand the isolation the father felt. The conflicts the characters experience have shaped them into the people they are presently. The lack of an ending also plays a major role in the way love and family is portrayed by the author and will conclude how love and family relate to this piece of literature.

If I could host a dinner party and I could invite anyone. I would invite Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Huey P. Newton. Martin Luther King Jr. led the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s and also in the 1960s Malcolm X was a national minister and spokesman of the Nation of Islam and Huey P. Newton led Black Panther Party in 1966 through 1987. I would invite these three men because they led different organizations to gain equal rights for African-Americans in the 1960s. They had different views on getting equal rights. For example, Martin Luther King Jr. believed in peaceful protesting and turning the other cheek but Malcolm X and Huey P. Newton believed by any means necessary that means they will do anything and everything to get equality. I would ask questions about how did they organization’s start and how they overcome all of the naysayers. I would serve roasted chicken and water served as a drink. We would talk about their deaths and did they felt they could have done more before they died. Also, we would talk about the current situations with African-Americans. I feel like we could use different tactics to get the job done. I think they will be upset how blacks are treated by society today. They probably thought after their deaths African Americans will be treated with more

In this task I am going to be speaking about and explaining a successful promotional campaign. The campaign I will be speaking about is the ‘whopper sacrifice’. The whopper sacrifice is a Burger King advertising campaign on Facebook that promised a coupon for a free hamburger if participants deleted 10 people from their ‘friends’ lists on the social network. I would class a good advertising campaign as: it is aimed at the target audience and uses the most effective medium for them. It should raise the awareness of the business and also increase the public's estimation of its importance. The main message must be the most prominent one, the one that stays in your head. The main types of advertising media are as follows: television, printed

Chick-fil-a is one of the fastest growing quick service restaurants in the United States. Specializing in chicken based entrees, Chick-fil-A boasts itself as being the home of the Original Chicken Sandwich. The Chick-fil-A culture is one of connecting with their clientele through clever media campaigns of cows supporting chicken as a staple of your diet. Obviously, the cows advertise how great the chicken based menu is in order to save themselves! A cute, subtle campaign, to undermine their closest competitors who are in the business of selling hamburger based meals. In addition to clever cow commercials, cows hanging off billboards along highways and the popular cow calendar, Chick-fil-a has managed to build a cult like following on social

Social media has greatly influenced people in terms of food choices. Some people eat fast food instead of cooking healthy food at home since it is easier to buy than to cook (Herron, 2014). Some food on fast food contains all the calories people need for the day (Fast Food , 2015). About 40% of the respondents eat fast food a few time a week, which could means, that social media is one of influence on food choices for people (Andal, Social Media Advertising, 2017). Social media changes people way of thinking about fast food through those pleasant food visuals. Social media advertisements increased portion sizes significantly that cause people to eat more unhealthy food (Herron, 2014). Social media advertisements have great impact to

In the world today, media is one of the major ways that companies and businesses sell or inform the society about their products. Television specifically uses commercials to get the attention of their audience by using language, sound, visuals, and persuasive strategies. The commercial, “A Boy and His Dog Duck,” was created by the company IAMS. This commercial is meant to persuade their target audience into buying IAMS food for not only one stage of their animal’s life, but for all stages of its life. The commercial that IAMS created, is quite effective for middle-class new mothers wanting their children to have a long-term companion.

An email invitation with survey link was sent to panel members, where they were randomly assigned to view one of five menu boards, which differed in types of labeling; and instructed to make a meal selection as if they were at fast food restaurant chain. Also, respondents had to fill out a questionnaire at the

Chapter two, The Dinner, is centralized around two main issues: the nation’s debt and where to locate its new capitol. While the issues were concerns of essentially every individual with political say, the three main problem-solvers presented in this chapter are James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson. These three individuals became involved with each other when Jefferson noticed Hamilton looing like an exhausted mess outside of George Washington’s office. Hamilton shared his concerns that his plan to solve the nation’s deficit had reached a stalemate in congress against James Madison’s faction. Jefferson then hosted a dinner between the three in an attempt to solve the stalemate because he feared a deadlock.

Households are the basic consumption unit for consumer goods (Hawkins et al, p. 186). Although there are different types of families, women could play potentially any one of the purchase decisions within a household. For example, a woman looking to purchase healthy tasty snacks for themselves and their family could be the initiator, the information gatherer, influencer, decision maker, and purchaser. Therefore, it is important for Jack Link’s to target this market by clearly demonstrating how their beef jerky could provide benefits, rewards, and solutions towards the need to purchase healthy snacks.

The message conveyed through the advertising appeals influences the purchasing decisions of consumers. In this case, the advertisement was aired by Carl’s Jr fast food restaurant to advertise their new “all natural burger”. It was aired during the Super bowl because majority of the audience, men and woman, are watching the game. And it makes it easy for them to put their product out because most people that watch the Super bowl just watch the commercials.

Every day while sitting on the couch eat a burger, and soon many people learn what the obesity hype is all about. Fast food companies are advertising more food for less money with fast service. The media tends to change images for their target customers, to make the food more appealing to those that are watching. Laziness is one of the main causes of obesity in our country. Obesity in the United States is at a high due to the increasing fast food chains, media influence, and a lack of exercise. The idea of having a meal made for them in less than five minutes is somewhat exciting to the view of many individuals.” fast food firms introduced these alternative meals in response to changing consumer tastes”(Buchholz). Many fast food stores offer the customer fast service, and a great tasting meal. They provide their service with a smile and a meal that can cost less than 10 dollars. When people mix poor diet with poor

Mealtime is the perfect time for families to get together, catch up and wind down. This time can be used to catch up with each other and learn new things about the people that we live with and love. Many families feel that there is not enough time in the day to cook and sit down together. In the article “ How Eating at Home Can Save Your Life” written by Mark Hyman, MD he states “Americans spend more time watching cooking on the Food Network, than actually preparing their own meals.” If families are saying there is not enough time to cook a meal and sit down and enjoy it together what does that say about their priorities? Meal time with our families need to become a priority
