Fat Trish - Parody of 1984
Dystopia: Fat Trish

August 14, 2128 Status: Feelin Smart
When the companies took over 42 years ago, things changed. At first, they were slow and helped. After the incident, society began reconstruction which allowed the society to reinvent itself. As this process commenced people looked up and praised the companies for supporting and keeping them alive. This resulted in the unbreakable trust between the companies and the people. As time went on, the companies convinced the people that the nation would be safest with them having control over everything. At first it was a dream come true; the companies were endlessly feeding the people, rebuilding communities and cities, and there was peace and happiness. But soon after, the company began cutting corners and turned to oppressing people. The people began to realize this, but as soon as the companies included manipulative sedatives in their food, the people were unable to realize the company’s subjugation. Only few of my kind still exist. People whose status has entitled them to food without sedatives. I am a rare breed. I am Fat Trish.

Today is my birthday. My dads present for me is the creation of the holiday to celebrate the namesake of my favorite food, bacon. So today is now known as National Bacon Day. Nation wide there are festivals celebrating bacon. At school my friends all commented…on how much they appreciated my dad giving out free bacon products; there were no comments about my birthday. It doesn’t make sense. This went from a present that seemed like it was for me to a political statement and a way to keep the people in our country happy. I do not know why he did this, His intentions were completely misleading. This was not about my birthday…why is he focusing so much on other people and not our family? Why do other peoples perspectives matter so much so suddenly?

    Schlosser And Wilson's 'Chew On This'

    Schlosser and Wilson made several valid points throughout Chew on This. Facts about business strategy, marketing, food composition, and slaughterhouse conditions all blended together to make one bad appearance for fast food. As intended, many flaws that exist in that industry were looked upon in a new light. The authors’ main point was to point out the flaws of the industry itself and expose fast food to America. They wanted not only to show the vindictive behaviors of the businessmen, but the cruel conditions that go into making the food. They wanted to open the eyes of the public to what they were really eating.…

    Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Essay

    Sadie Nussbaum, an eighteen-year-old Jewish girl who had lived in the United States of America her entire life along with 148 of her fellow workers, was killed in the fire in the Triangle Shirt Factory(Nussbaum death certificate). Ever since, historians and advocates have asked the question, “Who should be held responsible for their deaths?” After looking at many sources it seems that the owners of the building, Blanck and Harris, were ultimately responsible for the fire. This is because they failed to keep the building properly inspected, had terrible working conditions and over crowding, and only had one exit door.…

    EST1 Task 1

    Under the theory that social responsibility helps determine if a company is successful, let’s examine Company Q’s attitude toward social responsibility. Company Q recently closed down a couple stores citing that these two stores have been consistently losing money. It must be noted; however, that both stores were also located in higher-crime-rate areas of the city, which may cause the community to speculate about the real reason the stores were closed. Could it have been the fear of the neighborhood itself that caused Company Q to decide to close those two stores? The closing of these two stores could suggest that Company Q is more interested in profits and revenue rather than providing a much needed service to the community. In addition, Company Q’s customers have been requesting health-conscience and organic products for several years and they have just recently started offering these products. This change of heart may appear to be a positive step for Company Q if it wasn’t for the fact that not only did it take years of requests from their customers but all of the health-conscience and organic items being offered are high margin items, again making it appear that Company Q is more interested in profits and revenues than doing right by their customers and…

    EST1 Task1

    According to the current situation Company Q has a damaged attitude toward social responsibility within their company, all because of low profits being made. Due to high crime rates in certain areas the company has been closing off stores, not realizing the problem they have caused. The people that live in the prospected area where the stores where closed are now forced to travel further for groceries. This causes a problem especially for the poor, who do not have the extra money for extra expenses. I recommend the company take precautionary measures to help catch and promote others not to steal. They could do this by offering a reward, or installing cameras. This would help promote social responsibility within the company. Another very serious problem is the companies unwillingness to donate food for those in need. Especially since the company isn’t losing much or nothing at all by donating. The sudden unwillingness to donate is due to the distrust of the owners with the employees. They believe the employees will start to steal while saying they are donating it to the poor. This is yet another sign of a weak social responsibility within the company. These particular problems and fears are direct situations which concretely damages the social responsibility within the company, as well as the community. My personal recommendation is to draw out concrete guidelines and procedures that the employees have to follow before donating food. This would allow a company to gain trust within the employees as well as being benevolent towards the poor. Especially if cameras are involved employees tend to be more honest. They can also use an employee hiring technique that is based on a persons honesty and dignity. The last problem that the company has is its unwillingness to offer more health conscience food. If the above recommendations are taken into account, the…

    Eric Schlosser's Fast Food: The Hidden Cost

    Eric Schlosser begins his book Fast Food Nation by comparing the secrets Cheyenne Mountain hides as a metaphor for the hidden dangers of the fast food industry. From the outside, Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs, Colorado appears to be a beautiful mountain, just another peak in the wild wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. To an observer, there is nothing unusual about it. In reality it hides the North American Aerospace Command, the Air Force Space Command, and the United States Space Command. Cheyenne Mountain is a top-secret, underground combat operations center. It covers four and a half acres and is designed to withstand a nuclear explosion. Schlosser discusses the origins of fast food, how it is made, and its impact on communities and farmers.…

    Conformity In Working At Wendy's

    In the article Working at Wendy's, the author needed a flexible job. During the day he had to watch his child, so he needed a job where he could work nights. The author is in school and in the top 5% of his class, yet he had to conform to work at Wendy's because he couldn't get a different job. The murder of Kitty Genovese shows how the people who decided not to help were conforming to their own fear. They were afraid for their lives so they conformed to fit their fair. In Fast Food Nations the workers conformed to working conditions simply because they need a job.…

    Wgu Social-Responsibility Critical Analysis

    Unfortunately, Company Q has not made wise decisions as it relates to social responsibility. There are reports that the company 1) chose to close much-needed grocery stores in economically depressed (read: minority-occupied) parts of town, 2.) chose to start offering health-conscious food items only after it could locate the highest-margin products it could find; and 3) ashamedly refused to provide day-old food to the local food bank under the auspices that it was concerned that its employees would steal the food instead of donating it. The goal of this analysis is not only to highlight this absurd behavior and reasoning but also to offer solutions that are conducive to meeting social-responsibility concerns and maintaining financial viability. With any hope, Company Q will heed the counsel and institute immediate changes.…

    Secondly, American businesses have a responsibility to make sure that their suppliers working conditions are humane, just as we expect to be here. In the early-morning hours of December 3, 1984, a toxic cloud spewed out of a Union Carbide pesticide plant and drifted through the city of Bhopal, India. More than 2,000 residents died within hours of the leak and activists place the eventual death toll from the accident as high as 20,000. Hundreds of thousands of people…

    “Captain of Industry” or “Robber Barons”?

    There were factories where the working conditions were harsh and inhumane, the pay was low, and there was also little or no regard for safety on the job because it interfered with productivity. There were alsotragedieslike the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire where a total of 154 men, women and children worker were killed. The workers were locked in, in order to prevent them from taking breaks and losing production time. The building caught on fire and they did not have any means of safetyescaping the blaze, they resorted to jumping out of windows or were burned to death (48). It is hard to imagine how any good can come from such a tragedy but it did. We learned from our mistakes and groups that regulated…

    Mission Impossible-Heels Nation

    I am not a big fan of any of the Mission: Impossible movies. I also think that Tom Cruise is getting a little long in the tooth to continue making action movies. (Only a select few stars, such as Sylvester Stallone and Liam Neeson, can convince me of their action heroics in an older age). Every movie I have seen from screenwriter and director Christopher McQuarrie has produced a lukewarm response in me, at best. All of these factors combined to leave me with relatively low expectations for this installment of the Tom Cruise franchise. But Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation far exceeded my, albeit low, expectations.…

Obesity is a defeat to our nation becoming the fastest growing cause of disease and death in America. This new wave of obesity is hitting us where it hurts and spreading its grip on our homeland. Obesity is becoming a modern day murderer and the fact that this phenomena is completely preventable is mind boggling.

    Corporate Greed

    Have you noticed people around the country protesting near a government facility? It started on September 17, 2011. One month later similar thousands of people have joined the protest. It has spread in different parts of the world; protesting against “Corporate greed”. The group started in a park next to Wall Street, mainly by college kids spreading the word in social networks. They created a grass roots movement with a slogan “We are the 99%. Saying we the regular people work for the 1% that control all the wealth in the U.S. and certainly the world. Their message is that corporations must make profits no matter what the cost is. They create pollution, destruction, monopolize markets, and break laws; lobbying in Congress to enact laws so they can continue to control their greed. For example the BP oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, getting only a slap in their hands. For the past 20 years corporations have been gaining power from a law stating that corporations can be classified as legal entities. Having the same rights as individuals, but with little risk, in case they go bankrupt. During the Iraq war a corporation named Blackwater controlled security giving them power beyond the army. Halliburton was awarded trouble free pipelines filled with oil so they can charge anything to the American people. Mean while here at home, the pharmaceutical industry has paid millions of dollars to the Food Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Cancer Institute to sell exclusive drugs and patent procedures to combat cancer. The unfortunate thing is that the medications and procedures only kill people instead of helping them fight the decease. Take chemotherapy, it kills all the good cells to fight cancer hoping the body will create more good cells than bad ones. Since the early 70’s a clinic in Houston, Texas led by a Dr. Burzynski has treated cancer patients with a much better success rate than any other treatment available today. He discovered…

    Community Illness Solution

    There has been an odd rise in similar and extensive illnesses in not only adults but children as well. This is becoming quite a concern for many of the residents in this community because that just means a rise in their chances of catching the illness to. If our community does not resolve the problem as soon as possible it will continue to spread and possibly affect the entire community. Upon further investigation into the reasoning or cause of this problem, I have found a legitimate reason why this is happening. I have discovered that the cause may be from the gas company’s malpractices either before the community came together or sometime afterwards. I found my reasoning by keeping an open mind and investigated any and every possibility there could be. The gas companies practices are the only issue I have found that could cause a problem such as the one in our community. As well, once I found that reasoning I looked also into the illnesses and what could have possibly caused them, and again I found that the problem with the gas company is the root cause for the illnesses. I have begun to spread the word about my discovery to make everyone in the community aware of the issue that has led to our problem. I believe that with the strength of our entire community we can unite and fight for our justice against the gas company who has caused our community such a great problem. My first idea in the fight for our justice is to go straight to the gas company and explain our findings and demand them to do something about the issue to help fix the problem. If our community cannot seem to meet an agreement with the gas company, I say we take it to a higher level. We need to possibly approach the mayor of our town or even the court system if we must. We need to keep our viewpoints open and not stick to what we think is going to resolve the problem because one idea may not instantly resolve our problem. We not only need to resolve the issue with the gas…
