    After reading the essay “Should Fast-Food Workers Be Paid $15 per Hour” written by a student who goes by the name of Trudie Makens, it was clear that her piece fell under the genre of “articles in public affairs” (27) even as an exploratory essay for a class discussion. The topic of whether minimum wage should be raised or kept the same is discussed through various viewpoints from minimum wage employees to a business perspective. The essay’s purpose is to allow the reader to be exposed to the two sides of the argument and allow the reader to formulate their own opinions on the topic of potentially raising the minimum wage of low income jobs. Makens’ essay was incredibly effective in allowing the reader to ultimately come up with their own…

Nike is a corporation that considers itself not responsible for its contractors and treatment of its workers and has little regard for CSR. Ballinger on the other end is a crusader for closing the gap for low paid worker’s wages and holds corporations responsible for CRS.

Ehrenreich was made to feel inferior when she was working at Merry Maids, in a similar way to how bell hooks felt at school. If you treat someone like they are inferior, eventually they may begin to believe it…
