...in an organization by damaging group dynamics and creating unhealthy conflicts which can escalate over time (Green, 2006). PepsiCo is a company that is committed to delivering sustained growth through empowered people, acting responsibly, and building trust among its employees and customers. This paper will take PepsiCo and analyze the origin and subsequent evolution of personal and workplace values. It will explain how individual values drive actions and behaviors and analyze the degree of alignment between Pepsi’s stated values and its actual plans and actions. Finally, we will analyze the degree of alignment between personal and organizational values as reflected by PepsiCo’s plans and actions. Personal and Workplace Values Our personal values derive from our experiences, personal aspirations, culture, society, and some values are learned and passed down through the generations. Our values, in a sense, drive our actions which result in if and how we accomplish things. Values are important for not only individuals, but organizations as well. Organizational values should be directly connected with personal values. Organizations should set their values in the hopes that their corporate leaders will embrace upon their employees the importance of buying into these value systems in an effort to steer the company towards their mission and vision (Taylor, 2008). PepsiCo believes that their values are a reflection of a socially and environmentally responsible company and as stated...

...Genetically Modified Animals SCI 115 Professor Li November 29, 2014 Biological Basis: A genetically engineered animal is an animal that carries a known sequence of DNA fragments that have been joined together in a laboratory. This process involves removing genes from the DNA of one species and inserting it into the genes of an unrelated animal. “The foreign genes may come from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans.” Retrieved November 27, 2014 from, http://www.responsibletechnology.org/gmo-education. Transgenic refers to those specific genetic engineering processes that remove genetic material from one species of animal and add it to a different species. Due to the high similarity in genetic sequences for proteins among species, transgenic organisms are able to effectively assimilate and express these trans-genes. These genetically engineered animals are also known as “transgenic” animals. This process may be called Genetic Engineering or Genetic Modification; they are one in the same. Genetic engineering enables animals to produce useful proteins and are being produced to assist with human medicine such as biopharmaceutical products. Some of these include, antibodies that can be used for the treatment of infections, cancer, organ transplant rejections, and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Gene technology has only been possible since the 1960’s due to the greater understanding of DNA and how it functions following the discovery...

...Nutrition is neglected in the United States of America. Although sugar is considered bad for you, it is a necessity for health. Balancing sugar in a person’s diet keeps the body feeling fantastic. Nutrition in America is a constant factor that is neglected by Americans on a day to day basis. It has been thought that sugar and fatty foods are associated with deaths in the United States. This is not an incorrect statement, according to Jamie Oliver’s chart; the leading killer in the United States to date is heart disease. This realization should open the minds of those whose ignorance for statistics shields their view. Instead of binging off of junk food, limitations need to occur. Nutrition improves the wellbeing of humans. Sugar is a main...

...concerned with the quality of life and prevention of many health diseases, life expectancy will continue to gradually increase. One popular approach to increasing awareness about healthy lifestyles includes the focus on maintaining a healthy eating lifestyle and living actively to ensure the human body is strong in every sense. More companies and businesses have started offering healthy alternatives to their product lines to remain competitive with the growing health awareness trends of most consumers. However, one aspect of healthy living which is just as important as healthy eating or awareness is the personal one-on-one guidance when concerning making the right food choices and fitness activities that individuals need. This industry has not been widely accepted or positively viewed as affordable and necessary. Lifestyle Fitness-Who We Are and What We Do From my personal experiences, it is important to have a support team in place before making a lifestyle change. Not only will individuals be faced with food temptations, but they will also find reasons why they cannot go to the gym or participate in other physical activity. People find it easier to stop doing something when there is no one there to...

... The main ideas Kim states in order to dissuade his audience from adopting vegan diets are that 100% vegan diets lead long term to the development of nutritional deficiencies and significant health problems, that the morality of vegan lifestyles are questionable, and that the organizations that promote vegan lifestyles have ulterior motives. While Kim makes a weak argument against 100% vegan diets, his assertion that diets with a majority of plant based foods are healthy for you, but eating only plant based foods is not, is valid. Kim states that “people can survive for many years on a strict vegan diet, but almost always with one or more significant health problems.” His article does not present a strong argument in support of this statement though. He offers no...

The author, Zinczenko blames fast food industries for increasing the obesity rate. The author gives us his personal experiences about how he feels about the fast food industries. He also mentioned how he escaped the dungeons of fast food industries. He considered himself as “lucky” because he went to college and joined the Navy Reserves. (463).However, if it wasn't for his involvement with the health magazine, we wouldn't have seen his perspectives on fast food. He thinks the reason why the obesity rate has increased is because “the lack of information about what, exactly, we’re consuming.” (p. 463) The reason why it lacks information is that when it comes to fast food because you would not know a number of calories you are consuming. (P. 463) Another reason why fast food industry lacks information is because they want to protect themselves. (P. 464) Therefore, Zinczenko is 100% against the fast food industry, even if they are convenient for people....
