Mcdonald's Unfair Trial

The topic was “McDonald's Takes Olympic Stage to Announce Advances in Children's Well-Being, Menu Innovation and Access to Nutrition Information”. The message was communicated by McDonald’s US President and CEO, Don Thompson, McDonald’s U.K. CEO, Jill McDonald, Chief Brand Officer Kevin Newell; and, McDonald's Executive Chef Dan Coudreaut. Along with the press release, McDonalds opened up 4 Olympic Restaurants that served various menu items with an assortment of tastes and nutritional values (Hary,R 2012).

As narrator Paul Feine shows different perspectives of how McDonalds is viewed from different countries, one can decide who is to blame.

It will then follow up with critical issues, strategic alternatives, recommendations and implementation. The case studied is found in Appendix 2 of Mary Coulter's "Strategic Management in Action" book.

When an ethical dilemma turns to lies. On Oct. 20, 2014, Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke shot 17-year-old Laquan McDonald sixteen times. Once the tape was released thirteen month later, the relationship between the community, the mayor, and the Chicago Police Department was shattered.

The “McEthics” case describes how Mc Donald’s, the fast food industry’s market leader, faces charges concerning growing health problems in Europe and Asia.

In a 2003 court case, “Caesar Barber v. McDonald’s Corporation, et al.,” Barber claimed he was unaware of the nutritional and fat content of the fast food he ate on a near-daily basis for decades, and which he claimed caused his multiple illnesses (Daily Caller). The people of the court ruled that Barber’s choice of food was the cause of his many health issues, not the restaurants which supplied the fast food. In this case, the court held the consumer responsible for his selections; however, the court’s expectation of personal responsibility in food selection will most likely become anachronous. The article “Is Fast Food the New Tobacco?” addresses the issue of rapidly growing fast-food chain restaurants, such as McDonalds, Burger King, and Taco Bell, and the health issues that perpetuate from an increased amount of these restaurants. Anywhere we travel today, out of town, to a big city or a small village, consumers are bound to see some sort of advertising for fast food. Many billboards display life-size pictures of steaming hot sandwiches, fresh-cut fries, or an ice cold beverage. The streets are lined with bright, golden arches, fluorescent bells, or a red-headed, smiling little girl. All of these modes of advertisement draw consumers in, whether they be hungry or simply in a rush with no time to cook dinner at home, and feed them food that just isn’t up to par with healthy-eating standards. Notice, these restaurants don’t use force to bring customers in by the masses;

Many departments are claiming there isn’t enough funding to support the addition of cameras for the officers. As of Friday April 29, 2016 President Barack Obama and his team requested to begin funding the police body camera project. [4]“The Justice Department announced its providing $20 million to police departments for body cameras, the first installment in a three year program budgeted at $75 million.”[4] A couple weeks later a Grand Old Party(GOP) – controlled House panel reduced president Obama's request significantly but approved a new revised version. [5]“The bill establishes a $50 million fund to improve police-community relations through state grants to assess and improve their justice systems...Some $15 million would go to help local police departments buy body cameras... , half of president Obama's request.”[5]

Facts: Matt Theurer was an 18 year old adult that worked at McDonald’s part time. His friends and family worried about him because he had many extra-curricular activities, worked for the National Guard, and worked for McDonalds. McDonald’s informal policy did not allow high school students to work more than one midnight shift per week or split shifts. There was a special clean-up week McDonald’s held, Theurer worked five nights. One night he worked until midnight, another until 11:30pm, two nights until 9pm, and another until 11pm. On Monday, April 4th, 1988, Theurer worked from 3:30 until 7:30pm, followed by the clean up shift beginning at midnight

Despite the fact that television is still the dominant source, there have been shifts involving the consumption of news programming. There has been a significant fall in the reliance of the networks and their national newscasts for America's news. Today more people are relying on the reports given by local news programs than on that of the networks. Several surveys have recorded this shift as early as 1993, denoting that much of America cites local news on television as their major source of information.

This paper will consider the facts associated with the case of Stella Liebeck versus McDonald’s, resulting from Ms. Liebeck’s efforts to collect for damages sustained when she spilled extremely hot coffee into her lap in 1992. The issues, applicable laws and the conclusion the jury reached will also be covered as well as the subsequent impacts on American tort law following this decision.

Bulletproof clothing saves more than 30 people who died in the line of duty that may not sound like a lot but it is. The three main things are about are what type of body armor to get , how body armor works, and how body armor impacts people's lives but the the true question is how body armor works.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as bullet proof or stab proof vest, however, the use of ballistic- resistant body armor as mentioned before can protect against numerous significant handguns, and, rifle ammunition, and stab- resistant body armor can protect against knives and other serious sharp objects. Equally important, body armors are categorized into levels; the levels begin with 1 which provides the least protection, in contrast, the highest level is level 4 which offers the most protection. The levels are very important because a police officer needs to be careful when deciding the correct body armor in reference to the type of handgun in order for protection. The level of the ballistic- resistant body armor also includes important
