Another rhetorical strategy Moore proposes is the use of a sarcastic tone throughout his excerpt. “Chances are, the genius representing you in the legislature won’t score 50 percent on the above test” (Moore 132).
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).

In 2012, Metro PCS released plans to broaden their marketing focus outside of their norm of young urbanites to families, expanding their family plans, which is a good start to gain more brand identification. However, their ads have been touted as “ethnic stereotypes…that perpetuate negative images of any community of people” (adage.com).

While theft and low income consumers bring the possibility of providing only moderate revenue gains, if not a loss, operating in impoverished areas can also be a source of growing potential for the business. Many companies advertise philanthropic missions, such as donating to charities every year or helping to provide for the families of their employees. While these are messages that consumers hear, a more powerful message can be the one that the consumers themselves see. Rather than closing down those stores, Company Q should focus on the reasons for the high crime, and offer ways to reduce that crime rate.

Many of the values that were the cornerstone of doing business during our forefather’s time are now considered optional if staying true to said values threaten the profit margin. Benji has to ask himself a couple of questions before he makes his decision. The first question being, “ Can I work for a company that does not share my core values and beliefs?” The next question is a little more difficult to honestly answer when faced with the prospect of a good salary and benefits package fresh out of college, “ Can I remain

In the eyes of children, they see their parents time is more important than their wallet. In his book Consumed: How Markets Corrupt Children, Infantilize Adults, and Swallow Citizens Whole, Benjamin R. Barber quotes the song All You Need is Love by the Beatles, saying “That is especially what children need” (Barber 184).
With the help of these teens, this will begin to improve our economy. Lastly, tourists' that are underage drinkers would not want to come to the US.
