He brings up a lot of arguments and points in his book and one he uses is Logos to better his points. One specifically he uses is his point on how the fast food industry is the largest group by far that employs low wage workers. He says no skill required and I really like this “The annual turnover rate in the fast food industry is about 300 to 400 percent. The typical fast food worker quits or is fired every 3 to 4 months” (90). Schlosser betters his argument with the use of strong facts and gives the points strength.

The state gives them over 500,000 thousand-dollar budget for the facility every year but it’s mostly for bills. The course architect was Howard Maurer, The course offers a wide variety of holes favoring the diverse topography. With a unique balance of link-styled holes this course is surrounded by mountain range a beautiful view and has 4 sets of tees. The only negative thing about the facility was that it took so much land of the community, which some people don’t like. Which is true but I believe it makes the community a better place and makes it look
In a numbers sense of the issue, it just seems completely absurd to be fighting over hundreds of thousands of dollars while they are making millions in a country where even dangerous and exhausting public service jobs pay just thousands. This is why Heeb also introduces a new perspective to the reader in which he still uses pathos and logos. “I am a high school teacher/coach from Missouri. In 2007, the average teacher in Missouri made $42,246.67. In 2009, that number increased by 1.19% to $42,750.
Theoretical Concepts within “The Hunger Games” Jessica Ivonne Hernandez University of Texas Pan American Jori Alyssa Sechrist SOCI-4333-03- fall 2013 Full title The novel “The Hunger Games” is very interesting. The novels plot illustrates a unique society far unlike the one we have today. It holds a totalitarian dictatorship government. There are a couple scenes and ideas in the book that I found related to Karl Marx concepts, and one related to Simmel. The Karl Marx concepts I was able to identify were class division, capitalism, and exchange value.
In The Hunger Games it tells a story about a girl Katniss and she has to goes through, in which a way she just has to discover herself, also to show that the government has control, they hold a competition in which children compete against each other, and only one victor comes out. The reason the government does all of this is because they want to show the people that they have control over them, and they can’t do anything about it.

My grandfather on the other hand thinks differently as he spent most of his youth in this period of time in fact he was once sixteen in the year of 1956. With the war over and Hitler dead for at least ten years up till then food was still rationed and some things such as fuel were in short supply, many countries were or had already finished rebuilding their destroyed and war-torn nations, but they were also rejoicing at the fact of world peace the war was over. Eventually the world calmed down and began spinning again at its normal speed, and with this, new ideas and inventions became brought to life. Thus from these we received the television remote control, truly a sign of laziness but an invention nevertheless. Sport seemed to be plundering on all throughout the year.
When dead and decomposed, we are still capable of being labeled by our monetary value. The more one’s life insurance is worth, the worthier one will be. Unfortunately, Willy Loman makes the discovery that his death holds more money than does his life. Despite Charley’s efforts at convincing Willy that “nobody’s worth nothin’ dead (98),” the salesman proceeds to end his life for the “$20,000 proposition (103).” While some readers may have frowned upon his actions, they are not far from our own. In an attempt to increase the value of their lifeless bodies, millions of people invest money every month into a life insurance policy.
I know this to be true because my family has donated many items to the local school districts in our area. The schools are doing the job our government should be doing. “In four western Michigan counties, Gratiot, Ionia, Isabella and Montcalm, the number of homeless students has doubled in less than a year from 666 last spring to 1,242 homeless children in January, 2011” (Watson, 2011). Without jobs or help most of these people after losing their homes are living in vehicles, bouncing from one relative or friend to another so they don’t run out their welcome. Some also live in motels, rv/trailer parks, and camping grounds.
Old Spice The power of advertising has never had a reach so far as it has over the last decade. Billions of dollars every year are thrown the ways of writers and directors to create an appeal to audiences everywhere in hopes consumers will purchase their product and stay on board for repeat business. This is especially critical for companies such as Proctor and Gamble to do with older brands such as Old Spice. Having been around for over seventy years, Old Spice was in need of a campaign that would not only appeal to the purchasing audience, but also to revamp the image of such a staple in the hygiene industry. The advertising drive of 2010 featured the hit slogan “The man your man could smell like” (OldSpice, 2010).
