In this paper I will discuss two new product ideas that McDonald’s can incorporate into their menu to meet consumers wants and needs, while maintain a positive dietary and…

At the very moments that I was being molded into who I was by the influences of my surroundings, I tended to believe that everyone in the world was sharing in these same experiences and being shaped in the same way.

I believe that no matter what people think there are many benefits by using these pens. I am planning to give the reasons to keep them, and then give the counter thought and why it is weak.
