Summary Of Working At Mcdonald's By Amitai Etzioni

Amitai Etzioni asserts the idea that students who work at McDonald’s lack structure and guidance. Etzioni believes that most high school students who work in fast-food have no supervision, other than from peers, which results in poor discipline and inappropriate behavior.

In Amitai Etzioni’s essay “Working at McDonald’s”, he argues that the jobs teens take up at popular fast food restaurants are detrimental to their education. His proposal was that working at these fast food restaurants negatively affects their education by encouraging teens to be more concerned about earning money than being successful in their studies. He claims that teens are getting these jobs to spend on petty items. Etzioni states that the routine and lack of creativity of the jobs are harmful and the hours in which teens work are long and interfere with students’ abilities to further their studies and complete assignments. He states that teens that have dropped out and are working at these restaurants have fallen into a stagnant condition

“Working at McDonalds”, by Amital Etizonal, speaks out against the social economic issue of today's teenage fast food jobs and their negative impact from an educational standpoint. This analysis of the fast food industry is done by comparing the sought-after morals and values of the jobs of the past while revealing the importance of those lessons for jobs of the future. Two key points are used to analyze the fast food industry to determine how educational the employment really is; the first point evaluates morals and values, and the second point evaluates school attendance and involvement. The problems addressed are then met with a solution that schools and parents can actively pursue.

In the article Working at McDonald's, author Amitai Etzioni expresses a strong viewpoint as to why working at McDonald's, and other establishments such as McDonald's is in fact hindering our youth more than benefiting them. He says that jobs such as these provide our youth with little to no fundamental skills that will propel them into a promising future, limits the room for initiative and creativity and also distracts them from their studies. He supports his claims with numerous studies and statistics, mostly from the early to mid 80's. My first impression from this article was that it was very one sided, and in many cases Etzioni's claims could be proven false. He seemed to start on a specific issue and then ended up a tad all over the place.

In working at McDonalds, Amitai Etzioni asserts that working at a fast food chain restaurants is dangerous for teenagers. He feels this because of the mass production jobs offered to these kids. Etzioni argues that McDonalds if a pioneer, trendsetter, and sign that give jobs to the teenagers.

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.

A goal I have for myself in regards to this challenge, in this course and beyond, is to not get lost in the details and the wavering viewpoints and to find specific ideas and thoughts to focus on to help guide my papers to be more clear.

I hope, as my writing skills develop and progress, I will have a successful four years at Boston University and in my future

This is the second writing course I’ve taken in college, and it has ultimately helped with my writing abilities.

From an early age I have been passionate about reading. Like seriously, when I was five years old I was upset that I didn’t get the newest Little Mermaid book for Christmas. However, I have never had an interest in writing. Unfortunately, as I plan to go to graduate school to obtain my Ph.D, I really cannot avoid it. Over the years, my lack of enthusiasm about writing has caused me to view most English classes as a chore, something I needed to do in order to advance to what I really wanted to do with my life. With the risk of sounding like a suck-up, this is one of the first English classes I have valued because I have felt like I improved some aspect of my writing in each essay.

I remember feeling uneasy when getting an introduction to the first written assignment. It was noticeable that the teacher was motivated to get familiar with a new type of outline the english department had came up with since it seemed like the one before was of no support to us students. The outline seemed bearable at first glanced but at the back of my head, the question of “how do i put my thoughts into words” still remained a mystery. I was aware that for my writing to improve, my way of organizing my thoughts in words had to improve too. The teacher used the outline and showed us how to write a proper essay including how to phrase our thoughts in the direction of our writing. In that class i had an awakening and was enlighten to what was the begining to my first real writing. I remembered writing that first assignment with interest and comprehension. My thoughts formulated its way into my writing. My writing constructed into a well written essay about the universal idea of the book ‘Of Mice and
