These opposing viewpoints include if we are using too much of them, the availability of them and how reliable they are. First of all, the first opposing viewpoint of this issue is if we are using up too much of our resources and how bad we are handling these issues. Here in America, we just resort to using our fossil fuels as our primary source of energy, but that has raised a lot of eyebrows and caused a lot of opposition. People of opposition did not like the fact of how these fossil fuels were being handled and how fast they were being used. Knowing that we have renewable resources, the opposing voices argued that we need to use less fossil fuels and more of the renewable resources.
The merger between Live Nation/Ticketmaster would be problematic according to critics because it channels in on an increased marketing strategy. While they also generate revenue they are also distracting people from the actions of Ticketmaster. With the merger between Live Nation and Ticketmaster it almost seems as though they control the sale market because of their controlling nature with Ticketmaster being the fore front of ticket sales and Live Nation being the largest management company they are controlling profitability. Which is evident in John Seabrook as stated “the company could deny its superstar acts to venues that refuse to use its promotional
Prescription drug ads are just a sales pitch, that is not regulated efficiently by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), causing consumers to purchase prescription drugs based on misleading information. Drug ads informs consumers about available medications and give important information about the product, yet these drug ads can be misleading. Harmful side effects are not described in detail in the advertisement, causing consumers to know little to nothing about the prescription. Patients may find themselves requesting prescription drugs based on advertisements rather than the effectiveness of the medication. Ads use marketing tactics to create the false impression that they are educating the public.
These three topics can violate the Federal Trade Commission rules because they are misleading. People believe the promises that advertisements present to them.

It’s like a toxic candy with poison inside but sweet sugar covering outside. Congress may not be able to predict the consequences, or it could have already recognized the negative outcomes but still chose to continue because the results sound good to people. Raising the minimum wage won’t be efficient unless it’s adjusted sufficiently and accordingly to the movement of market wages and inflation (even by doing so, there will be still a number of job losing but that’s unavoidable). Otherwise, nothing but the opportunity of teenagers –the future of the world- will be damaged. Works Cited Frisby, John.
Advertisement, commonly viewed as a way to promote a product, is more than what it seems. In the present day, critics view advertisements as a propaganda that guides the audience the wrong direction. Mr. Schrank suggest that some people who watch advertisements are vulnerable to the “ad’s attacks.”(Doc. E) However, I disagree, advertisements are informative to our daily lives; without them our world would probably fall apart. They do just more than promote a product; an advertisement helps wage for jobs, educate people, and also explains how to make our lives better.
Prior to polices established by Law of Commerce Henkel Iberica participated in aggressive pricing to increase market share. The consequences of this were a negative effect on margins, contribution margins, and profits on sales. To contend with its competitors, Henkel invested in promotions and additional product mix to increase sales, but due to lack of accuracy in long range forecast it was often left with either over stock that is difficult to reallocate or loss of sales due to out of stock products which eventually led to a decrease of net earnings in sales year before.

Obviously it is evident that Henkel Iberica current process isn’t working due to challenges of forecast exactness and demand variability for all the products it offers.
