While watching the Jimmy Kimmel clip I found it kind of funny because he had started out saying that Starbucks now has released their most expensive drink which is 7$. He then says that they are asking coffee drinkers to drink from 2 cups to determine which one is the 7$ coffee. Just know thatContinue reading “(JCB) Chapter 4: Coffee/Class – 7$ coffee”

The one topic that William Van Dusen Wishard talked about was how a new stage of technology to replace humans is coming in the near future. The reason I liked reading about this one topic so much was because I feel very similar to this feeling as well. No matter what position I’m in IContinue reading “(H) 535-546: Wishard, Caught Between the Ages”

All I can say about this chapter is damn. This women gave up her whole life for 1 month to see what it’s like for welfare recipients and single mothers will survive in the low wage work force. She worked a number ours amount of jobs and struggled almost every single day. She met lotsContinue reading “(H) 411-424: Ehrenreich, Nickeled and Dimed”

I would not like to work at a McDonald’s for several reasons. Let’s start with reason number 1. They treat you like crap. I have heard & learned that doing fast food is not a good job. The supervisors & managers don’t treat you respectfully whatsoever unless you make friends with them. Personally I’m notContinue reading “(H) 497-507: Leidner, Over the Counter at McDonald’s”

With fast food and the wages they pay and how bad it is, the economy keeps dying. What I mean by economy is the people who eat fast food. What I mean by dying is people getting obese. Let me explain. Let’s start with the low paying wages. Low paying wages in fast food restaurantsContinue reading “(JCB) Chapter 3: Fast Food/Work and Economy”

I believe that fast food employees should get the 15$ minimum wage. A lot of customers have fits and have some issues and complain over the littlest things. Some employees work more then 8 hours just to provide for their family. If the minimum wage was raised to 15$ they wouldn’t have to work longContinue reading “JCB p. 79 Fight for 15$”

I’m not all too sure what corporate brands connect with me. I use a lot of brands and go to different places all the time so it’s hard to really figure out which ones connect with me. If I had to choose one, I guess a car brand or phone brand would connect with me.Continue reading “Required entry: JCB p. 79 Corporate ideologies”

I honestly do remember of a time where I purchased something just to fit in. I believe a lot of people did this just recently and it’s kind of ridiculous. The item I bought to fit in was the Popeyes chicken sandwich. I believe everyone bought this. It was a world sensation and everyone keptContinue reading “JCB p. 140 Shopping for “we-ness””

Conducting an experiment like Stanley Milgrams would be something I would never do. Personally to me I find it in humane to try and do something that he did. Doing an electric chair is different from doing this because the people on death row actually did something horrible. The “teachers” that participated in the experimentContinue reading “(H) 269-276: Meyer, If Hitler Asked You…”

Some objects that are important to my sense of self would have to be letters that my grandpa had wrote to me, my ring, my phone, the two music boxes I have, and my masquerade masks. The things I listed are only some of the things I can think of. I’m sure there are moreContinue reading “(JCB) Chapter 10: Branding/The Self and Social Interaction”
