A solution to the Amex problem would be to temporarily shut down their company since they can’t handle being truthful to consumers based on their false advertising about the Blue Sky program. Temporarily shutting down the company would address the problem by making Amex realize what they are doing to consumers isn’t okay. The government has a federal agency called the Division of Advertising Practices that need to monitor advertisements more carefully because the government needs to stop these crimes immediately.The government should step up solving these crimes faster because Georgia Peanuts was selling salmonella-infested peanut butter to the public for MONTHS before the government did anything. Amex was scamming people for 9 YEARS before the government found
These days people have been very caught up in how societies disposal of fuels and waste products have effected the environment. This has led to certain products of our manufacturers to be examined and looked at for change. Kim Jeffery is the president and CEO of Nestle Waters North American Inc. He and others within the bottled water industry are feeling pressure from critics accusing bottled water plastics adding too much bulk to landfills, and a large quantity of energy is being used to transport them. Since Jeffery is a CEO of a water company, the position he takes on this debate is very clear that he is not for a ban on bottled water.
Contrary to the serious tone of Mr. Herbert’s letter, the letter from Mr. Seaver is immediately critical and mocking of Mr. Herbert’s letter. Mr. Seaver’s ingenious solution to the Coca-Cola Company’s issue is that “to request the sales personnel to make sure that what the customer wants is the book, rather than a Coke.” His statement is satirizing the ridiculous idea of approaching a book company to revise their statement because it might be confused with a soda. In addition, Seaver mimics the format and use of words from Herbert’s letter further proving the purpose of Grove Press using the slogan. Seaver also uses a belittling tone when closing his letter “With all best wishes”
-Activists in India charged that the company’s bottling plants used too much water depriving local villagers of supplies for drinking and irrigation - Primary Stakeholders: Coca-Cola, local villagers, non-governmental organizations and India’s government - Expectations v. Performance: There were multiple concerns raised by stakeholders such as environment and government bodies, and various organizations that were creating awareness against the company due to the above discussed issues. Their expectation was that the company should be a responsible social entity that is accountable to the community in which it operates, and hence it has to change its ways in a way that stops causing harm to the larger society.
In the civilian world it would be tantamount to a state law forbidding store and bar owners to check ID before selling liquor to younger customers. Such a law would force the proprietor of a bar to assume the risk that if an underage customer drives and accidentally kills someone on the way home, the proprietor will be held liable. That risk is reduced by the posting and enforcement of signs stating “We Check ID.” Properly enforced liquor control laws protect the public interest even if some 18-year-olds successfully conceal or lie about their age and some adults do not ask for proof. It would not be accurate to claim, however, that the age of customers is “personal and private,” and state law allows 18-year-olds to drink alcohol as long as they do not say they are underage. This is, however, how the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy worked.
The failure of many marketing campaigns can be attributed to over looking this key element. The Coca-Cola Company forgot the governing rule of marketing when developing New Coke 20 years ago. Did current consumers of Coca-Cola want or need a NEW coke? Based on national reaction the answer would be no. If the client’s needs would have been foremost the current customer base may have been polled to determine to the reaction to a NEW coke?
Yet there are sensible solutions in handling this growing problem. Current laws and policies dictate that alcohol is and inherited evil substance and that only abstinence from alcohol should be accepted. While some people do choose to stay completely away from alcohol it should never eliminate the need for honest, open discussion about drinking. Just like anything else in life, drinking responsibly is something that must be learned. We expect teens and young adults to stay completely away from alcohol and never have one drink until their 21st birthday.
“It’s the Real Thing” was first used in advertising for Coca-Cola over twenty seven years ago to refer to our product”. Herbert does this because he does not want Seaver to use that phrase. Through this Herbert believes it can take many of coke’s customers away if there is a slogan that is similar to theirs. He also believes if he can show the history of can and the slogan it can make Seaver change the slogan out of his book. Herbert also uses Ethos in his letter to persuade Seaver.
Bloomberg proposed the ban on July 24 and the ban was confirmed on July 24, and banned sodas because it would have no effect on his daily life. Just because Bloomberg doesn’t drink soda doesn’t mean he has to ban it. Mayor Bloomberg said, “All we’re doing is educating.” If we want t live fat, let us. It’s our right to drink and be fat. It’s not “Nanny Bloomberg’s” decision.
Unit 6 Project: Nationwide Synthetic Drug Ban Alaina DAmbrosia Kaplan University CM220-12 Professor Millard April 10, 2012 Spice, K2, bath salts, or incense are all names of dangerous drugs that are being distributed all over the United States.
