Mcdonald's Video Analysis

Decent Essays
In 2015, someone released a video that demonstrated the farms where McDonald's bought their chickens from were stabbing, beating, and crushing live chickens. These chickens are bred in huge, cramped, and windowless sheds. They are bred in these kind of sheds to quicken their growth. If humans were placed in the same kind of environment as these chickens, by 2 years of age a child would weigh 348 pounds.This is twice the weight of the average male.

McDonald's is always launching new products, but you shouldn't expect to find these on the menu any time soon. In 2000, a woman reported that she found a whole fried chicken head in her box of McNuggets. In 2006, a man found a dead rat in his salad dressing which he then sued the company for 1.7

    The Mardi Grass Video demonstrated two different cultures know so little about each other. In the first part of the video, it demonstrated how the simple colored beaded necklace that we can easily find at a local Dollar Store, are being used as a reword after individuals physically exposed themselves to the public. When random individuals were asked, where the beads came from and who made the bead they had no idea and I also had no idea or had never really thought about it. The film then takes us to a factory in China were those same beaded necklaces that people were using as rewords are made.

    Europeans identified and treated the people of St. Domingue horribly and as if they where inferior to them. They forced them to work and ranked people based on how much “black blood” they had.

    Dr. Amen’s lecture helps me to understand how different parts of the brain can negatively affect a person when the parts are dysfunctional. In the video, Dr. Amen states that a hyperactive anterior cingulate gyrus can cause a person to become argumentative and it can also lead a person to have a grudge-holding tendency.

Chickens are one of the most abused animals worldwide. If abusing one type animal is immoral, abusing any type of animal is also…

    The reason why we believed this was a good approach to the situation is that with dwindling down their menu, they can start to focus on producing quality hamburgers, their core competency. As a group, we felt that McDonald’s was starting to produce products that didn’t fit well into their core competencies, which in turn was hurting their profits and the overall experience a customer obtains from going into a McDonalds. For example, even though the exact items of removal were not disclosed, we felt that McDonald’s should not be producing salads of any sort because people do not go to McDonald’s hoping to eat a fresh garden salad.

The other measure that the article mentions that McDonald’s is taking is adding computer tablets to allow customers to add toppings of their choice to their favorite sandwich.…
