False advertising is also another unpleasant practice that fast food companies use to lure in costumers. Some of these practices include no warning labels on advertisements like there are on dangerous things like tobacco and confusing labels on food served that lead customers into eating more calories than intended. David Zinczenko advocates that it is some of the fast food companies fault for the decline in America’s general health. At the end, David chooses not to complain about the legalities, but instead encourages us to let the justice system do its work. In the article David Zinczenko discusses “Shouldn't we know better than to eat two meals a day in fast-food restaurants” we the people of America should know by now that it is
Vidal states, “Commies will stop us from making everyone free, and we shall end up a race of zombies” (884). Vidal purposely uses “zombie” as satirical of his observation to spark an image of eerie, insecure and death to audiences. In addition, he combines “race” along with “zombies” to create more dramatic scene, as if the whole generation can turn viral with insipid addiction drug. For example, marijuana and other addictive drugs are artificial; similarly, non-natural foods from McDonald’s also attract to many consumers. Despite the unhealthy, some addicts will careless and continue to do what they want; comparably, some people still go to McDonald’s.
This omnipotent God has no say in what you do; you are the one overcome by the desire to act. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. The bomb exists, somewhere. Blue Mondays lurk in the concrete jungles of far off societies. So though you’re not quite sure of your own existence, in the same way you are unsure how likely it is you’ll get your bum brother to move out or your waiter to not mess up your burger again, you can be sure of one thing: the Blue Mondays change.
The way technology has driven the last half of a century has changed life astronomically. Everyday people crave and desire the next big thing on the market. Whether it is the hybrid car or touch screen phone, the need for something more leaves room in life for unhappiness when those items are not obtained. Lao-Tzu strongly argued that when people do not want anything, they are okay with living simple. This is beyond the truth of today.
Many became work oriented, getting married later on. The American viewpoint is closely tied to this concept, Americans have also pushed marriage back, in order to complete an advanced education, and climb the corporate ladder, many feel that marriage would hold them back from those accomplishments. Another change from the Renaissance, and arguably the most notable change, was humanism. This was not the form of humanism that many today are familiar with, but it was an educational stance based on greek and Roman literature. The new form of learning inspired many philosophers such as Isaac Newton and artist like Leonardo da
The whites not working made it official.” (90). Burke is saying that The Great Depression didn’t hit home until it affected the white people. And the fact that no white people and as well as no black people were working made African-Americans view The Great Depression as being equal with Caucasians. African-Americans were used to these Depression conditions. Clifford Burke made the remark that their wives would go to the store and get beans and a big piece of meat to cook for dinner and the white man could not do this, if he were to bring back the same items his wife would threaten to leave him.
The addictive and yet fattening qualities associated with fast food leave people constantly craving one more bite. However, Schlosser makes a decent point in the epilogue section of his book when he states that under no circumstances is anyone actually forced to purchase and consume fast food products and those who desire change should simply "stop buying it" (Pg. 269). No matter how many excuses the fast food industry or average consumer comes up with, consuming fast food is just not worth the endless list of consequences
These conflicting views on technological advances in these novels can be related to the modern age that we live in today. Yes, there are numerous benefits to technology, but we humans cannot allow ourselves to become dependent on technology. The benefits are related to The Killer Angels: technological advances have helped make our lives much easier. For example, with the internet, we no longer have to painstakingly research information from books. The dangerous prospect of humans becoming too dependent on technology is seen in Jurassic Park.

Should New Orleans Be Rebuilt New Orleans is an amazing, mixture of culture and its own unique flare, but since Katrina hit now it is an utter death trap, unless we make plans to rebuild. Rebuilding and making the levees bigger and better will take an outstanding amount of time and money, (Document C), but I believe it would be worth it to save this small piece of our American culture and history. There are many people who have the opinion that New Orleans should not be rebuilt, because of it lacking a good education system or distrusted law enforcement, (Document F). I think these are bad reasons; New Orleans must be completely rebuilt, and what better place to start than with the law enforcement and education systems. Just letting go of such a historical place is just immoral, the site of the 1853
