Personal Narrative: Mcdonald's

The author of this particular article, Working at McDonalds, Amitai Etzioni is a sociology professor at the institute of George Washington University and the founder of the non-profit organization known as Communitarian Netwroks. In this essay he narrates his strong belief that working at any fast food chain restaurants is detrimental towards a students future. He validates his reasons that student do not benefit any long-term skills as taught in these restaurants. He beliefs that these jobs take away time from school and/or after school activities such as sports, clubs, etc. This skews a students perspective of the importance of a high-quality education that leads them towards their dreams and goals of a career in the major they perceive to

Increasingly, younger diners are seeking out fresher, healthier food and chains that offer customizable menu options for little more than the price of a combo meal.

In "Working at McDonald's," Amitai Etzioni argues that it is unhealthy for high school students to work at fast food restaurants, such as McDonald’s because the jobs have a lack of structure, are non-educational, and result in poor academic performance.

The central argument of McDonald’s work is that Ryerson didn’t promote public education as a social reform, but rather as a form of social control. According to Burke and Milewski, “McDonald views Ryerson not as a humanitarian reformer but rather as a member of the elite determined to use public schooling to ensure a docile and loyal citizenry”(pg 37). This idea of McDonald's work is confirmed by McDonald himself by his views towards what is key to a stable and loyal political system. According to McDonald, “the minds of youth have always been viewed as the key to political loyalty and social stability” (pg 39). This idea that if the young minds of the next generation can be controlled by a centralized government run system, the system will mold the children to socially conform to what the government, i.e. the elites who run the government, wants.

Have you ever tried something new? Well I did one day at Kroger a few years ago. It felt funny, because no one else in my family but my dad would eat the food, and it was also a really weird food.

All through this course, I have taken in various systems for composing different sorts of essays. This class has truly enhanced my written work abilities; I can now effectively think of enough words, which was a major issue for me before this class. I couldn't have done these without the inside and out rules gave all through this class from the instructor's assignments and lecture notes.

“A good job is more than just a paycheck.” –James H. Douglas Jr. First jobs often provide a variety of experiences for teenagers. In many cultures, getting a job signifies the initial step towards independence from one’s parents. Not only do they represent new found liberty, but they also teach skills needed in the real world. Working at the local Giant grocery store has marked my transition to adulthood by teaching me about interpersonal relations, finance, and time management.

Hy-Vee helped me restart my life. At the beginning of August of 2016, my family moved from Hampton, Iowa to Mason City, Iowa. My dad’s job is in Mason City so it made sense for us to move. When my family moved, I didn’t know anyone up here and I needed to quit my job in Hampton as I wasn’t earning enough for it to outweigh the worth of the drive back and forth every weekend. I scoured the area for a job opening for weeks with several rejections and few promising results. Without friends or anything else to put my time and effort into, I started to drive myself insane.

AmitaiEtizion’s ‘Working at McDonald’s’ is an essay, about the impacts on teenagers of fast-food chains such as McDonald’s. While the author puts aside the issue of consumption, he focuses on the impacts of the jobs these types of restaurants offer, and argue that such jobs negatively impacts students’ school performance. The issue is presented in a critical way, as the author firstly looks at how parents think that having a part-time job between classes is a good thing for students. However, upon further criticism, the author finds that such jobs fail to offer the entrepreneurial experience they were hoped to give students, citing as examples the poor pay, routinized forms of work, unhealthy work environment, and long-term impacts on the job

I came into your store today at around 5:30 pm. I had purchased a t.v from the electronics department, for $800.00. When I got home I noticed as soon as I took it out of the box, the base of the t.v was scratched. It wasn’t scratched badly enough for me to want to take it back, until I plugged it in and the screen was broken. I immediately called Walmart and the manager of the electronics department, and he told me it was nothing he was able to do. I couldn’t get my money back or even a new t.v to replace it. I wanted to contact you personally to see if there was anything we can set up seeing how I bought a $800.00 t.v from your store that was broke. Thanks for your time.

“Buda-bup-bup-bup, I’m Lovin’ It!” Once you hear this noise: hide. All too commonly, Americans have traded in their beloved home cooking for the fast-food restaurant called McDonald’s; partly because of its swift delivery, but mainly because they are everywhere. In the small town of Claremore, Oklahoma (with a population of only 18,000), there are two: the convenient café and the “Oh my gosh they screwed it up again!” eatery. These tantalizing restaurants are illustrious for their massive amounts of calories and fat in each addicting bite, and have been serving the now-suspecting public for 71 years. In response to obesity trends in western nations and in the face of criticism over the healthiness of its products, the company has modified

George Ritzer describes McDonaldization as “the process by which the principles of the fast-food restaurant are coming to dominate more and more sectors of American society as well as the rest of the world”. McDonaldization is the idea that our society is becoming more efficient and more fast paced. Rational systems can be defined as “unreasonable, dehumanizing systems that deny the humanity, the human reason, of the people who work within them or are served by them”.1 Today there are many types of businesses that are increasingly adapting the same values and principles of the fast-food industry to their needs. Rational systems are dehumanizing our society and seem to be even more irrational than convenient. “Almost every aspect of

Much like a smile, the “Golden Arches” can be understood in any language. The McDonalds brand is the most well-known, internationally embraced fast food empire. McDonalds operates over 31,000 franchises throughout the world, with the United States leading the way with a whopping 13,381outlets as of May 2009 [1]. McDonalds has the fast food market cornered, offering an increasing variety of food of beverages, marketed to people of all ages to eat at any time of the day. However, being a corporate giant has its issues. McDonalds has faced a lot of criticism for its high-fat, high-sugar, potentially addictive menu. While the corporation is not likely to outright admit responsible for its actions, McDonalds has seen some changes to address

Not having to answer to a corporate boss is the dream of many and the flexibility that owning a business franchise creates provides this option. Success is not reached by simply creating a business, however. The level of success is measured by the size and efficiency of the business. Business growth is the driving force of the economy. The additional jobs and revenues created when a business expands allow the economy to grow at exponential rates. One of the fastest and most popular ways to increase the size of a business is to turn it into a franchise, which can then be purchased by individuals. Franchising provides opportunities that are beneficial to both the parent company and the purchaser. The company that owns the business can expand
