Why haven't fast food workers unionized and what tactics have management used to defeat union efforts?
I feel like fast foos workers have not unionized simply because they are scared. I feel like many of them can not afford to lose there job so they take a backseat and follow all the rules. They fear that if they try and start a union that they will be threown out of there company and never asked to return. I think that managements uses the tactics of fear and just making it very hard to get a union started. I have heard that its certain laws that need to be passed in order to form a union so now only does management make it hard but also the government makes it hard. I just feel like people are installed with fears and like no one will ever step up at the risk of losing 7.25 dollars and hour.

ch 2
Discuss the fast food industry's marketing to children and explore the ethics of targeting children, especially as they relate to advertising in schools. To thoroughly address this prompt your response will need to be at least a paragraph long.
I feel that fast food marketing to children is wrong. I feel like kids dont have a clear understanding of what they are puting into their bodies. I feel like fast food place bribe little kids into wanting to eat the mess they call food by advertising toys, mascots and of course the play grounds. i feel like its not right because of course love of the toys and stuff so of course they are going to chose to eat fast food. I also feel like some parents make it no better because they give the kids whatever they want and them as parent should no what they put in their food and why is not healty for ones body.
Although i feel like advertising in schools is wrong i feel like it is a very smart idea because school is a must for every child. I also feel it is smart because you catch the kid when he or she is not with the parent. then the child goes home and fources the parent into buying them what they want. I feel like advertising to children is just wrong they can hardly think for them safe, there minds are still growing up so they do not have a clear idea of what they want or what they need.

Ch1 of Fast Food nation.
Intro: How is the 'American world view' embodied in the fast food industry?
I think that americas world wide view is embodied in the fast food industry because they see that one thing is good or was good they want to bring it all over america. I feel that there is also a lot of power involed in the ongoing of all the best fast food places in america.
Chapter 1: What elements of Southern California "culture" contributed to and encouraged the development of fast food restaurants?
I think the elements that contributed to and encourage the development of fast food were the people and the advertesing market. I feel like fast food would be nothing with out the people who eat and support the restaurants, and the people who get paid to advertise them.
