Loser Fatty: Weirdo-Ugly

Growing up, I loved Jelly Bellies. The colors, flavors and seemingly limitless combinations had me captivated for hours on long road trips as my family moved from state to state. Almost without thinking, I would sort them. Blues and greens, browns and beiges, whites and blacks. The problem with this sorting came when I would pack all of one color into my mouth, and that with a handful of cherry-flavored beans, I’d get an unfortunate cinnamon taste.

It is a benefit versus risk gamble that these companies take. An example: marijuana is a plant that is medically proven to reduce nausea. Long-term use has not been evaluated, and it is illegal in most states. However, people continue to utilize it for its alleviating benefits despite the risk of not being approved by the Federal Drug Administration.

Dr. Gottlieb discusses how the FDA tested a treatment for this disease by giving some children the drug and some a placebo, even though a placebo was not needed as doctors knew the symptoms of untreated Hunter’s Syndrome. The children who received the placebo deteriorated. Dr. Gottlieb said this study “tested the boundaries of what was ethical.” Dr. Gottlieb is using emotional manipulation to make

While it may have been my interpretation, but I was fairly confident that the runners at that camp were there to learn about running and not to listen to a day-to-day sales pitch in an attempt to raise

Collusion is an agreement between two or more parties, sometimes illegal and therefore secretive, to limit open competition by deceiving, misleading, or defrauding others of their legal rights, or to obtain an objective forbidden by law typically by defrauding or gaining an unfair market advantage.

George undermined the companies and his own values when he intentionally sells a customer a product knowing it’s not in the best interest of the company or the customer. George needs to meet his quota but doesn’t address this until it’s too late to reach it ethically. Baring nothing happened outside of his control George could have paid more attention to his sales and not dug himself a hole. George could have avoided this situation entirely but instead takes advantage of the customers initial trust. The customer initially trusts that as an employee George is going to give him the best deal possible. Instead George sells him an inadequate product which ruins the trust of the company and customer. After having to return the product the customer he won’t have a reason to trust the company, so there’s no reason to buy from them again. This negatively affects company sales and creates distrust between employer and employee. George acknowledges that he will have to sell more software next month to make up for the return but if he can’t reach his quota now it’s
