Corporations And Tv Ads

TV commercials play a big role today in the corporation world. Have you noticed that every time you turn on the TV, you see a major corporation with a commercial on TV? This is not a brand new subject to us. The corporations of world have to have good commercials with compare and contrast to sell their merchandise. For example, everybody knows that AT&T sells a lot of products without even having their other products exposed on TV. Fact is, they need the TV to get the information across the country and world. Another example is the Nike Corporation. This company has been around for a long time and has a lot of experience when coming to this. The problem is, do these companies be trying to persuade people into buying their products? This is a problem to some people that have children. These people have children, that kids sit in the room, and watch TV and see these characters on TV commercials. Are these corporations putting too much on TV? Should they expose their selves a different way? I think they should find ways around the whole propaganda theory. There can be conflicts with. There are people out there who think that these corporations be lien about what they be saying. If you are going to make a commercial to help your company in anyway, then you can do it the honest way. This means, if your product only does one thing, don’t try to lie and say it do other things as well. What do you think?

Corporations On Holidays

Have you ever wondered why some of the major corporations, be open on holidays. I have noticed that for a while now. Its not always the big corporations either. I use to work at the dollar movie theatre in North Little Rock. We were opened on every holiday that you can think of. That kind of mad me upset, even though I got paid extra on holiday I didn’t want to be stuck at the movies on Christmas. I think each corporation should have a number of holidays that they could be open. I work at Wal-Mart, there will be times I will work on holidays, and I will have to cut my schedule short with my family. I do think that is wrong. We should be able not to work on major holidays and spend that time with our family. There should be some done about this. I have asked my about some information about this topic. I was told that some stores like Wal-Mart and Kroger have to be open on Christmas. The reason being, because there are family out there that will come to the store on the day of Christmas and get things at last minute for their family dinner or last minute Christmas shopping. I think its wrong for stores to be open on holidays. Its taking time from the people that is working, from their families. What do you think about this situation? Do you think corporations should keep working on holidays, or not?

NFL and The Lockout

There are many fans out who love the game of football. They will probably go crazy if something was to happen to the National Football League. Well in case you didn’t know, the NFL is in a lock out. Players are refusing to play, because they feel like they’re not getting paid enough money to do their jobs. This is an issue were players money, and fans entertainment are on the line. I can’t say I agree with what the players are going through, but I can agree with the fans and put my opinion about the situation. To me they’re just being about what they want, they jus want the amount of money they deserve. It is wrong what the commission is doing. This is also affecting the incoming rookies. A average first round first draft pick, is expected to get around 60 million dollars. If Matthew Stafford was too go in the draft and go first pick he would get 60 million, and guaranteed 40 million. With the lockout going on, officials are trying to say rookies are getting paid too much. This means they’re trying to cut that in half. The rookies feel that if their worth 50 million dollar, then they should be getting all of their money. This lockout will also hurt the fans that paid for package plans with their cable company, and fans that also purchased tickets to go see their favorite teams play. If the lock out continues then, the worst will happen referring to the NFL. The board needs to come to an agreement so there can be a season.

Fast Food And Good Hygene

Have you wondered how many people wash their hands before preparing a meal? I’m here to give some information about this topic. We all eat out at fast food restaurants and wonder who is cooking our food and are they hands clean. I’ve known a lot of people in the fast food industry, which said they have seen people prepare food without washing or sterilizing their hands. This is a serious problem that can have an effect on other people’s health.http://qctimes.com/news/local/article_c2a31a6a-7bf0-11de-a98e-001cc4c03286.html this article says more than half of all employees in the fast-food industry fail to wash their hands properly or use gloves when working. This is a huge problem. Why are the people not washing their hand the correct way? Before you get hired to work in fast food, you are required to watch and read material on keeping good hygiene at all times during work hours. If workers don’t keep their hands while making food, or even before while their touching meat, their can be a spread of diseases. A person may have a serious case of staff infection, and then goes to make some food; staff infection can get into the food if he did patch up the wound, or wash their hands. I think the fast food corporations need to build more strict consequences on this topic. It will cause the company less problems with customers. It can happen anywhere and to anyone. It will likely happen in a restaurant that you wouldn’t even think of having a problem.
