When someone throws a plastic wrapper out the car window, or down the sewer drain, does it ever occur to them where that trash goes? According to litteritcostsyou.org, 1.9 billion tons of litter ends up in the ocean each year. Plastic is polluting Earth at a disturbing rate; humans are essentially killing themselves and killing everything else that surrounds them off this planet due to prolonged littering. What most people don’t know, is that litter such as plastic bags and cigarette butts, do not dissolve or disintegrate, or at least within a human’s lifetime. Marine life and other animals that live near bodies of water consume the trash humans carelessly dispose, which kills them due to choking and other hazardous effects from trash consumption.…

I cannot imagine a company trying to create a product that is the best of its kind, being staffed by people who don’t passionately care about the product” (Page 157). The management structure and culture is another aspect of Patagonia that makes it truly unique. It is the farthest thing from a man in Louis Vuitton suit barking orders at a bunch of robots in cheaper suits.…
McGregor’s Theory Y supports the integrity of the desire of an individual to work as a basic activity of life (Kreitner and Kinicki, 2013). The potential work environment someone finds themselves in can be either extremely rewarding or significantly painful or possibly somewhere in between. The effectiveness of any organization can be correlated to the quality of the employed personnel (Little and Miller, 2007). Person-organization fit theory supports the basic concept that like minded individuals and like minded organizations seem to be drawn toward each other (Little and Miller, 2007). Therefore consideration for working at Whole Foods will be driven by factors that will strike the potential employee’s fancy.…
Paid maternity leave has become a standard benefit in many countries throughout the world; however, the United States is the only advanced economy that does not mandate maternity leave for its workers. Not only does the United States not mandate maternity leave – it also does not pay for it. Maternity leave is very important for the child, for the family, and for the economy. With women entering the workforce, they must be able to support themselves and their child(ren) while they are taking care of their new-borns. Without mandated and paid maternity leave, the mother’s may choose not to bear a child – which affects the economy and the population, and it will affect the relationship between the mothers, children, and the family as a whole.…

Another problem businesses have with extending maternity leave is the fact some employees never return from maternity leave at all. This can be particularly saddening if the employee was well-liked, but other employees wait until the minute to notify their supervisors they will not be returning. At that point, the temporary employee has already been given their last day and the employer must begin the whole recruitment process over again. Many employers also become frustrated with women who come back from leave and expect the same pay and level of authority, but also the flexibility to work fewer hours and to leave early for soccer games and ballet recitals. Some employers have even admitted that there is a temptation to avoid hiring young…

It is clear that the Coca Cola Company cares more about obtaining a good profit than the health of our population. In order to be healthy, we should have a healthy diet which includes exercise in our daily routine. The article discusses how we should avoid sweet drinks in schools; I think it is a great idea. Besides avoiding Coca Cola products in the school districts, not allowing purchasing sodas with the Food Stamps will be great.
