Have you ever thought about suing a fast food restaurant because of how unhealthy is making your body? Well in his essay “Don’t blame the eater” David Zinczenko talks about children that are trying to sue McDonalds for making them fat. Growing up with divorced parents and a mother who worked long hours, Zinczenko was left with no other choice but to turn to fast food restaurants in order to sustain himself. He describes how it’s easy for kids to put on weight and turn obese by eating junk food. He argues that fast food restaurants are to be blame for people, especially children and teenagers, for their obesity. Honestly it is the parents fault. Is not like McDonalds put a gun to an individual’s head and forced them to eat their food. In my opinion I would have to disagree with David Zinczenko, it is your own fault and a parents fault and not these fast food places. Children are a parent’s responsibility. As a parent you take ownership on what your children eat. I know some parents do work long hours and find it very convenient to stop at a fast food drive through to feed that to their kids and themselves, but there is many things parents can do to guarantee that their children eat healthy.

Racism is defined as prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. In the workforce, the issue of racism and discrimination has been brought to the center of conversations around the world. Companies claim to be “colorblind” and not hire somebody based on their race or gender, but the employment rates among minorities and women around the world is significantly lower than the majority in the given country. There is also the growing issue of minorities, such as blacks in america, making significantly less money than whites. This issue affects people all around the world who happen

The following essay describes discrimination lawsuits brought up against the Hooters restaurant chain.

The religious discrimination lawsuits filed in federal court with the EEOC indicate that there were employees who believed their religious rights were not being protected. For example, Omari v. Waste Gas Fabricating Co. was a 2005 9/11 backlash case. Omari, a Muslim from Algeria, filed a claim with the EEOC for discrimination, hostile work environment, and retaliation under Title VII. Omari claimed that he was repeatedly called “Osama, terrorist, cave dweller, camel driver,” and was accused of making bombs and questioned as to whether or not he knew how to drive a plane into a building. Omari rejected the accusations and tried to explain that he was not an Arab, but the comments did

In a world that has been constantly changing since the beginning of time, the news it brings is no different. In watching the news over the course of a month it is political upset that over and over again earned its place on the front page. Issues within the Middle East often led as the most breaking news; reports on ISIS, upset in Iraq. In addition to Middle Eastern political issues, immigration issues often found their way into the news. Immigration may become more of a growing issue as globalization increases as well, allowing people the ability to easily migrate. For example, in the article “Britain 'struggling to cope' with immigration, says official report”, it accounts that Britain has seen one million immigrants within the last

Apparently consumers in California were just as dubious. In her class action lawsuit filed last week in federal court in San Francisco, lead plaintiff Colleen Gallagher of Piedmont, Calif., said that Chipotle deceived customers into paying more for their food and violated the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act with its false and misleading food labeling.

Working with the plaintiffs, we administered Juror Background Investigations and provided Jury Selection in this Sexual Harassment of a Minor case against Chipotle. After nearly two weeks of trial, the jurors awarded our clients $7.65 million.

The problem that Denny’s had with discrimination was that the black individuals were not being treated equally as the white ones. Two different lawsuits were talked about in this unit, one was about an employee that was being harassed by fellow employees and once it was brought forth to the manager they just ignored it, and the other as a group of people that were not being treated equally while being served. Denny’s corrected these issues with having better training for the managers when it comes to having employees harassed under their business. Denny’s also tried to hire a more diverse group of employees to help run the business. These incidents are a model for other companies because they handle their problems right away when it was brought

Juanita, after reading and noticing the mistake in the employee benefit policy and I would let  the supervisor know about this issue in a face to face conversation with them. In addition to this, I would suggest that the supervisor mention the document error in an email to employees to make them aware of the policy issue.
