Did you at least get paid for sneak-advertising Coca Cola? I don't understand how this disgusting company is still allowed to advertizise at big sport events all over the world, when it should have been long since closed down by US government or UN for the systematic killing of union leaders in Columbia. However, the Rubel has to be kept rolling and the economy has to grow exponentially till all eternity. Who cares that our natural recources are depletable? Cosequently this will never happen. "To you immortals of tomorrow I predict today and here: Even before the next millenia begins, is the only God that everyone serves, the insatible greed" - Graf Krolock, Die unstillbare Gier (Tanz der Vampire, 1997).

“Citizen Coke: The Making of Coca-Cola Capitalism” by Bartow J. Elmore tells a story of how Coca- Cola have changed its industry as well as the globe by utilizing natural resources. To start on his journey about Coca-Cola, Elmore questions the success of the company behind selling Coke, a low-priced mixture of “sugar, water, and caffeine, packed in glass, plastic, or aluminum” (Elmore 8). Elmore discovers that even though advertising plays an essential key in selling products, Coca-Cola is mostly profitable from outsourcing the supply (Elmore 9). Besides explaining his research on the Coca-Cola capitalism, Elmore also emphasizes on the ecological evidences that support it, which make this book an environmental history of Coca-Cola capitalism (Elmore 14).
The book Citizen Coke: The Making of Coca-Cola Capitalism by Bartow J. Elmore is about the environmental history of Coca-Cola. Elmore is a historian who grew up in the Atlanta area, where the Coca-Cola Company was formed and has a presence to this day. The book discusses how the Coca-Cola Company came into existence and how it acquired resources to manufacture the best-selling product, Coke. After doing a little bit of background on the three book options offered for review, I chose this book because I was most interested in how the company came into existence and how the products were manufactured. What I discovered was that the Coca-Cola Company is a consumer, not a producer. I will go on in this review and discuss the reasons why it is a consumer and not a producer.

While this book begins by defining stage money as “Imitation money used in theatrical production, in film, and by magicians,” the next seven chapters are not spent describing these fake dollar bills (v). Donahue and Patterson step away from analyzing the aesthetic value of theatre and analyze what it costs. As corporations of today take steps into the 21st century, Broadway is forced to evolve with them. Due to the lack of ability of performers to increase productivity, the environment is high-risk. Investors can put in millions of dollars into a project and lose it all, simply because audiences were not drawn to the show. However, investing the same amount in a successful show can make millions. This “survival of the fittest” mantra describes
Today, the Coca-Cola Company is the biggest soft drink corporation on the planet. It accounts for about 44 percent of soft drink sales market in the United States and the company spends on average $3 billion on advertising annually (Smith). Coca-Cola is one of the most iconic brands of century promoting itself as the drink of freedom, choice, and US patriotism. However, behind this carefully crafted image exists a selfish dollar hungry and greedy company. Greed can be defined as the excessive or rapacious desire, of possessions, power, especially for wealth. Coca-Cola Company is exploiting less developed countries of resources, spoiling the environment, as well as bring about an assortment of heath issue
“There’s a moment you’ve been waiting all your life for. When you find the very reason you’re alive for.” This semester included a small moment in my life, which had an impact on my life. My love for musicals began to heighten beginning college. I have created a fifteen-hour musical soundtrack playlist, to paying $400 to watch “Hamilton: An American Musical” in Chicago. Musicals have a way of inspiring individuals and have increased my drive to work in the entertainment business. This semester, I casually looked at what musicals were playing in the Indianapolis area, and I came across the musical “Finding Neverland.” I ended up getting tickets for the October 20 show. Little did I know this show would have such an impact on me.
Coca-Cola argues many points in support of its marketing and image. Especially in the years following WWII, Coke has worked hard to present an image associated with having a good time. Since the late 1800s, Coke’s advertising has shown people in beautiful places and in beautiful clothes, having a beautiful time and enjoying their beautiful lives--even in times of war and economic recession. While wars, riots and scandals rage in this country, Coke has been “holding forth to the world a picture of itself as pleasant and rewarding--the kind of place most people would like for it to be” (Watters 216). In Coke’s more recent advertising, Coke continues its image of fun and beauty, showing teens enjoying a sunrise and at a rave dance party in the woods. However, these more current commercials were in response to two other adds that were considered “not funny” and “mean spirited” by public opinion polls (Sampey par 1-4). Those ads showed family members and friends physically fighting with each other because someone had forgotten to bring Coke.
Coca–Cola a leading manufacturer, distributor and marketer of soft drink products. Coca–Cola was not always the sugary syrup soft drink most people know today. As a matter of fact, before 1886 Coca-Cola was made with alcohol and cocaine. Concocted by Dr. John Pemberton a pharmacist in Atlanta Georgia Coca-Cola was originally named Pemberton’s French Wine Coca. Dr. Pemberton marketed the drink as a cure all for mental and physical disorders and was sold from a soda fountain at his local drug store. A step ahead of prohibition, Dr. Pemberton replace the wine in his formula with a sugary syrup. The cocaine portion of Coca-Cola was removed before 1914 when cocaine was deemed illegal in the United States of America. Coca-Cola as we know today still contains coca but the narcotic portion of cocaine, it is removed. Today, Coca-Cola has expanded to over 200+ countries. From concerts to sport venues to local restaurants you are more than likely to come across a Coca-Cola product, Coca-Cola has had such an impact on society that it is given credit for how we portray Santa Clause today. Other credits should also be given to Coca-Cola like an increase in diabetes and other diseases.
One of the company’s most popular jingles was known as “I want to buy the world a

Despite - or perhaps in spite of - the turbulent political climate, the dawn of the 20th century saw the accelerated growth of the arts sector. European arts institutions began to expand into smaller communities which resulted in the emergence of national networks and more jobs for managers and artists. After World War II government support for the arts increased, possibly to raise morale, to enhance the continent’s air of sophistication or to stimulate a rebirth of culture. The 20th century also saw the introduction of radio, film, off-Broadway shows and residential theatre companies which created job opportunities. Growth in the arts was also supported by the NEA’s grant matching program and expanding course offerings across the arts in western universities. In the 21st century the growth of the arts sector has slowed but there will always be a cycle of companies coming and going and managers are needed for permanent major events such as fashion week, Olympic ceremonies and the Super bowl half time show. Ultimately the arts have a responsibility both to comfort and to confront societies, as it has done for millennia. Presently issues such as the refugee crisis, racial inequality and increasing radicalism confront our society. To address this Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre took a production of ‘Hamlet’ to a refugee camp in Calais “Because, of course,
nothing contributes as much to the present-day success of the Coca-Cola company than . . .
1. Do you think Coca-Cola will surpass the scandals around the world like it did in the past?
In a globally competitive environment, Coca-Cola engaged in questionable conduct such as channel stuffing, falsifying marketing research, anti-trust issues or racial discrimination for a few reasons (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, 2013). Coca-Cola used channel stuffing as a short term tactic to artificially report an increase in sales, which could entice more shareholders to invest into their company (Edwards, 2015). But in the long run, it becomes similar to a Ponzi scheme. The distributor returns the unsold cases of soft drinks to Coca-Cola, in which Coca-Cola would add them as sales returns on their accounting ledger. The shareholders see an increase of Coca-Cola shipments and an increase of sales revenues on the financial reports. Channel stuffing draws a lot of attention from executives and investors as profits decrease and sales increase (Edwards, 2015).
While visiting Younkers, I experienced various sounds, sights, and smells. In regard to the sounds I heard, Younkers is always playing music in their stores. I have found that I really enjoy their mixture of music. After shopping here for a while, I have noticed that they play some of today’s hits, a lot of hits from the past ten years or so, and everyone’s favorite classic hits. Since the music mostly consists of “older” hits, it gives me a sense of nostalgia. I find that I genuinely want to spend more time in the store just to jam out to the music. One study from this week’s reading found that customers listening to classical music bought more expensive wines than those who heard “Top 40” hits (Areni & Kim, 1993). It is clear that the music we are
