Cadillac

I have a friend from Southern California, and she told me she did not even know we were in a drought. When she said that I was shocked, I thought how could she possibly not know? After reading the chapter China Town, in the book Cadillac Dessert by Marc Reisner, I finally got my answer. How could she have known there was a drought when almost all the water in California gets pumped down to the heavily populated desert area. The chapter begins with some background. The author states that…

In the early 1900s, Cadillac was one of the most known car companies. Most people think of Cadillacs as being a luxury car. Even back then Cadillac models were one of the most comfortable cars made. Also, they were one of the few cars that had a steering wheel, rather than a rudder. Cadillac was important to the early 1900s, they made cars, people could use the cars to get places faster, and Cadillac was bought by General Motors. Cadillac was a luxury car company in the 1900s, and they…

Cadillac and Ford use implicit communication techniques to talk about our consuming habits. To begin with the Cadillac video, they want to convince us that everything we got in life, we deserved it, if we overconsume or buy things we didn’t need, we work hard for it and we did sacrifice, like he said, we took only two weeks of vacations. He promotes the car because he says implicitly that luxury is the result of working hard. At the opposite, the Ford video tried to explain implicitly that…

All of the efforts that are proposed as it relates to healthcare is to control cost and utilization. The Cadillac Tax is no different. By introducing a punishment tax of 40% to individuals that hit the threshold of a certain amount, will cause in theory, the concept of minimizing utilization of healthcare services. I believe that there is a possibility of this tax being a success in accomplishing this mission, however I can see were this type of “punishment” could backfire. For example, the…

justified and did not do the right thing at the time. In the realistic fiction stories, “The Gold Cadillac”written by Mildred D. Taylor and “The Bracelet” written by Yoshiko Uchida, the stories prove this statement. In the story “The Bracelet”, the government caused people to be separated from their families and move away from their homeland just because they looked Japanese. In the story “The Gold Cadillac”, the government made it legal to have colored people treated unfairly in the…

On May 15, 1994, Officer Jim Thielen received a tip saying that there were several people sitting around in an apartment bagging a white powdery substance.

One of my greatest toys as a child was my battery-powered Cadillac Escalade, an enormous five-hundred dollar car my mother worked so hard to get! My mom and grandpa even went to two different stores just to get it for me, because my mom really wanted me to have it. I remember being three-years-old and waking up to this half-scaled, maroon car and just being in awe at all the features it had! I remember it being roofless, and having a plastic key already in the ignition so that when you turned it…

I have to say that I secretly love the "Cadillac Tax" backed by the current Obama regime. In fact I think all conservatives should feel the same way. Why? Because it is one of the best examples of how bad this health care idea really is. Think about it, how often do you see the big labor unions and the rich and the middle class all upset about something? When that happens you know it has to be a bad deal. Of course the scary thing is that it is also one of the best examples of how this current…
