...or luxury. Our appetite for shopping dates back hundreds of years to the bazaars and markets of old times. Over the years, our fascination with shopping has increased and evolved. There are more smart and sales-conscious shoppers. As a result, the markets and vendors have evolved in order to accommodate the evolved shopper. It has resulted in the creation of mass markets, industrialization, and cultural attitudes. With the increasing amount of shoppers, and countless markets and vendors, companies are competing to gain shopper interest; they invent new products, create persuasive advertising, and offer sales on current merchandise. For companies, their largest revenue gain comes around the holidays. Therefore, they make big pushes for consumer sales on those designated days. However, a large portion of their revenue comes from one non-holiday, the man-made holiday, Black Friday. On this day, consumers spend more time and money in preparation than they do on their goods. There is a significant change in their attitudes and behavior; they become more competitive and more aggressive. This single day affects both producers and consumers. The combination of aggressive shoppers, sales, and limited quantities can be a recipe for chaos and disaster. To many shoppers, Black Friday spawns the beginning of the holiday sales. In an effort to save money and take advantage of the holiday sales, many shoppers participate in the Black Friday shopping events. Shoppers seldom think...

...------------------------------------------------- University of Phoenix Material Food Safety Worksheet Read each of the following scenarios. Scenario 1: Jeremiah went grocery shopping on a hot summer day. He bought food for an upcoming family BBQ; ground beef for hamburgers, a couple of steaks, and the ingredients for making potato salad. When he left the store, he put his groceries in the trunk and stopped by the sports outlet store to pick up a Frisbee and croquet set. It took about 10 minutes at the sports store, and then Jeremiah headed home to prepare the food. He was concerned that it had been too hot in the car, but everything was still cold when he got home. Jeremiah took the groceries home and put everything in the refrigerator. The meat fit well on the top shelf, right above the potato salad ingredients. Later on, he got the groceries out to prep everything for the BBQ. He cooked the potatoes and used a sharp knife to trim some excess fat off of the raw steaks. Then he cut up the rest of the vegetables for the potato salad with the sharp knife on a cutting board. Jeremiah formed the hamburger patties, seasoned the steaks, and finished making the potato salad. With only about 45 minutes to go before leaving for the BBQ, Jeremiah left everything sitting out on the counter while he showered and got ready. When he arrived at the BBQ, he set the potato salad on the picnic table and went to grill the steaks and burgers. He cooked both to about...

...Keep Hope Alive: Fighting Obesity in America Jonathan Gilchrist Advanced Composition SPRA11 Sec AA Professor Jeffry Berke April 5, 2011 Keep Hope Alive: Fighting Obesity in America Introduction America is the one the richest countries in the world. One would think that it would hold a similar title for being the healthiest. That is far from the truth. Obesity has become a vast dilemma in our nation. Adults, children, even animals are suffering from obesity. It has come to be all too normal. The media has latched onto the dangers of this disease, while various diets and weight programs have been released to the public. It is very difficult to understand why America ignores the warnings of countless TV shows, the government, and news. Even the event of a family member’s death doesn’t seem to wake our nation up. The American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery shows that Obesity and overweight issues cost the U. S 117 million dollars in healthcare annually(McCue, 2010). Tobacco is currently the lead cause of preventable death, a statistic that obesity could soon obtain (Lemonick, 2004). Excess weight takes a horrible toll on the body. Various health problems such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and more come from obesity. Michael Limerick’s (2004) “How We Grew So Big,” places the blame on technology stating “We humans have utterly transformed our environment; over the past century especially, technology has almost completely removed physical...

...LEGAL ANALYSIS Negligence The plaintiff, McDuff, is suing Jetson for liability in a negligence case. In order to prevail in a claim for negligence, the plaintiff must establish six points, referred to the law as a prima facie case. They are the following: 1. Conduct; 2. duty; 3. breach of duty; 4. actual cause; 5. proximate cause; and 6. damages Conduct and Duty In order to establish duty, there are three factors in determining whether to impose a duty at common law. They are the following: 1. The relationship between the parties; 2. the reasonable foreseeable harm to the person injured; and 3. public policy concerns The existence of any of these factors is sufficient for the court to impose a duty and although conduct is mentioned as a factor, generally, it is not discussed as an element in the prima facie case. In this case, there was no relationship between Jetson and McDuff. The next factor would be aligning the reasonable foreseeable harm to the person injured. As a general principal, a defendant owes a duty of care to all persons who are foreseeably endangered by his/her conduct, with respect to all risks which make his/her conduct unreasonably dangerous. In this case, there is reasonable foreseeable harm to the person injured because the defendant, Jetson, owed a duty of care. She had to make sure that by driving; she would pay attention to the road and make sure that she is wearing appropriate shoes for driving. We know...
