Mcdonald's History Chapter 10 Summary

McDonald's failed in warning customers of the extremely hot coffee the Stylophone cup held. Furthermore, the defendant argues that the plaintiff had the personal responsibility since she accidentally spilled the coffee in her car and not McDonald's. However, McDonald’s quality assurance manager testified, “a burn hazard exists with any food substance served at 140 degrees or above” indicating the coffee unreasonably dangerous and defective. McDonald’s knew that the holding temperature can cause serious injury to

Bryson goes on to joke about Presley’s audience being much like his fame, the elderly being the only guests in the house. Nevertheless Bryson claimed to be glad that he stopped, the upcoming City of Columbus was next. Unfortunately for us all Bryson has to comment on during the drive is the endless rows of shacks lining the highway all the way to Columbus. Shortly afterwards he observed that the poor population had several signs along the way, advertising “Gas, Fireworks,Fried Chicken,Live Bait”. Bryson attempts to add humour to the situation, by joking about some or other restaurant that dealt with live bait as

Organized crime as well as criminality is represented by Meyer Wolfshiem, who is a character based on the gambler Arnold Rothstein. Wolfshiem introduces Gatsby to a scheme that makes easy money, namely criminal capitalism and gangster economics. Those without class and even-handed society advertised in handbills inducing immigrants to venture into America proves to be a lie (Levitt, 2011). There was an obvious disregard for the law as presented by a large majority of the characters. Nick, Gatsby, Daisy, Tom, Jordan and Myrtle were all noted to have consumed alcoholic beverages throughout the story.

“It’s never too late to make a bar mitzvah!” called out 14-year-old Yankel Raices. The group was on a trip to the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center in Skokie, the highlight of which is to hear a first-person account from a survivor. “We can do it right now. We can put on tefillin.” Winthrop’s family intended for him to have a bar mitzvah; as a boy, he had even chosen which bicycle he wanted from his uncle’s shop as a birthday present. Then came the Nazi invasion, and on Nov. 14, 1939, the imposing Great Synagogue of Lodz—where Winthrop’s bar mitzvah was to be held a few days later—was

The Temperance Movement, starting in 1808, was the first significant attempt to outlaw alcohol. Members of the movement believed alcohol was unconstitutional and caused family violence and crime. In 1900, Carry Nation, who believed saloons were associated with gambling, prostitution, and violence, organized the destruction of many saloons and was arrested. Later in twentieth century came the Prohibition Movement. Supporters thought the poor were wasting their limited money at saloons, and industrial leaders believed a ban on alcohol would increase productivity of workers.

However, this became necessary in 1917, when German submarines started sinking one in four British merchant ships in order to cut off the food supply and starve the population. Food prices rose creating a wider gap between the rich and the poor. At this point, voluntary rationing was introduced, but when this proved unsuccessful, it became compulsory. The poorer population when hungry, and there were many illegal food deals and trading. The government subsidized the “ninepenny loaf of bread”, so that all families could be guaranteed

It was like Wal-mart on Black Friday. The first sound of laughter was when Angie and Liz mocked Mark and Alex's handshake with one of their own after making a comment. Liz received the two tickets for "Hamilton" at 7:41. Her brother, Steve gave her the tickets. Steve received them from the company he had been shadowing at.

Jay Gatsby has a huge mansion, and it symbolises how Gatsby changes throughout. Nick knows not much of this man Gatsby, but he seems to have parties every weekend Nick explains, “There was music coming from my neighbor’s house through the summer nights” (Fitzgerald 43). The reader can infer that Gatsby is a popular man. The reader also knows that Gatsby has an enormous mansion, and he uses this mansion to lure in Daisy to get her back in his life. The mansion symbolises what Gatsby would doing personally, but he lets his mansion do all the work.

There is no treatment for Yellow Fever, and his search for one may have only made it worse. Benjamin rush was desperate for a treatment until he finally settled with bleeding, a bland vegetable diet, and high amounts of mercury. I don’t know where he got the idea that vegetables and mercury would help, but I strongly disagree with bleeding. His patients were vomiting blood, and he thought taking away more would help? I don’t know what he was thinking, but I would bet money that some of his patients died from his bleeding.

“Discrimination on the basis of age is an outrage and a violation our civil rights!” (Source 3) There’s many reasons to refuse service to someone whether it's for not dressing to their specifications, for practicing a different religion, or if that person is a non-paying customer. There have also been cases where people have been banned based on stereotypes or generalizations. In this case, Joseph Jones’ has banned teenagers from his restaurant, Munchy’s, because he believes that their rowdy behavior is the cause of his restaurant losing money and less adults eating there. I don’t believe this fair for teenagers to be banned for a stereotype that doesn’t apply to all of them. To begin with, adults, mostly business people, can be loud and obnoxious as well.

First of all Bryce didn’t even try telling Juli about the whole egg situation until Juli found the egg cartons in the trash and that’s when Bryce said,” So I told her we were afraid of Salmonella poisoning because her yard was a mess and we were trying to spare her feelings. This shows that Bryce can’t tell Juli about their problem with Salmonella and now Juli is now mad Bryce of telling her.
