Part 1. In what ways did the meat packing industry in Chicago abuse its workers?

The meat packing industry in Chicago, but also in many other cities in America during the early 20th century was a very inhuman and brutal environment. This was a place of misery, exploitation, crime and corruption. Many immigrants that dreamed of freedom and material success were destroyed by the merciless work, and eventually replaced by other immigrants that shared the same horrible faith.

It would be easier to answer the question how the meat packing industry didn’t abuse its workers, as the opposite question give us numerous responses. The workers lived in poverty and hopelessness. Their exploitation occurred in all ...

Existentialism is understood as a general approach used to reject certain systematic philosophy rather than a systematic philosophy itself. It looks at how women become a term that acts in opposition of man, how structural components take away freedom from women and discourages the creation of homorganic man and subordinate women (Gardiner, 18). Derived from the school of thought of Simone de Beauvoir, it looks at how women are not powerless and do not need to depend on male-female relationship. Simone believed that, the key to women freedom is economic and therefore women have to get involved in income generating activities. In ...

The Situation

A few years ago, I had to move from a current apartment to a new apartment. I needed to move because the apartment building that I lived in was being repurposed into veteran’s only housing. This meant that staying in the apartment was not an option, and I only had a few months to find a new place to live. I wanted to live in a new area, one that was closer to parks and outdoor recreation, but still close enough to be near shopping areas, work, school, and other activities.

Should Reducing Waste and Reusing Resources be considered a Priority when Designing a Product?

There was a misconception that one should not recycle and reuse refuse as it could cause health-related problems. They also felt that reusing refuse would only cause time and money constraints. Wastes such as plastic bottles and corrugated boxes used in packing, were used in landfill or burnt to remove them. Little importance was given to reuse these wastes, as they were felt to be useless. Similarly, no effort was made to study possible alternatives to disposing them. It all changed once the damage had been done, and its effects began to show on climate change. Toward the end ...

Introduction

Packaging is one of the key components or elements of marketing, together with production services, price and distribution as well as it is very relevant in sales promotion.

With that in mind, management of operations and continuous improvement mentality is critical for the success of the companies (Peng 2014). This ...

Warehouses are structures that serve as storage areas for goods. The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) estimated that over 145,000 people are employed in more than 7,000 warehouses across the U.S. (OSHA, 2010). There are aspects of the warehouse environment that present health and safety hazards including layout, floors, noise, heating, housekeeping, and fire. However, proactively managing these hazards reduce the risk for injury. The warehouse must be assessed for existing health and safety risks to identify appropriate interventions.

Being a supervisor has its pros and cons. One of the advantages of being a supervisor is one gets a higher remuneration. Aside from the regular salary, some supervisors get other benefits such as paid vacations or paid memberships in clubs or professional organizations. Another benefit of being a supervisor is the authority that goes with the position. As a supervisor, one has the power to delegate jobs. He can set the work schedules of his department. But with authority comes great responsibility. If there are wrong decisions made, it is the supervisor who is answerable to it. It is usually the supervisor who ...

Chapter 1: The Founding Fathers

The chapter provides a historical backdrop of Schlosser’s discussion and provides a rather nostalgic look into the post-World War II era, a time when the economy was good and citizens were achieving their dreams. The founding of the Taco Bell is used as a reference point to discuss how the white Americans conjured up the images of Mexico. Suggestions are made on a leadership conspiracy to put the Mexican-American youths in jail in the mid-1940s for a false murder accusation.

Discussion 1

The New Deal refers to measures aimed at achieving a steady economic recovery, providing relief for the poor and unemployed, and reforming the financial institutions. These measures were taken by President Roosevelt in his first term in office. The significance of the introduction of the New Deal during President Franklin Roosevelt’s first term in office to constitutionalism in the United States cannot be gainsaid. However, during the mid-1930s, there was a major disagreement between the constitutional aspects regarding the New Deal and the Supreme Court (Strout, 1933). As a result of the disagreement the ‘Court Packing Plan’ emerged and a subsequent constitutional ...

Control Valves

A valve is a control device that is utilized in adjusting the flow rate of a fluid in a pipe (Doddannavar, Barnard, and Ganesh, 2005). This implies that the flow rate will change as the valve opens and closes either partially or fully, thus providing some obstruction to some extent (Rennels and Hudson, 2012). The valve comprises a flow passage in which the flow area can be varied. Operation of valves in most scenarios is manual. In cases where the valves are operated automatically, electromechanical actuators are used. The electromechanical actuators can include electric motors or pneumatic actuators that are motorized by air ...

Upton Sinclair’s novel “The Jungle” goes deeper than a simple expose of the meat packing industry, Sinclair’s real goal was to provide an in-depth expose of society itself. By analyzing the socialist messages within “The Jungle” the corruption of capitalism and fallacy of the “American Dream” reveal the seedy underbelly of society and the unsanitary / unsafe working conditions of the Industrial Revolution.

The Unsanitary Working Conditions of “The Jungle”

Meatpacking was still a relatively new concept at the time “The Jungle” was written. Meatpacking became an established business venture only after the end of the Civil War and only a few major companies participated in the ...

Upton Sinclair’s novel “The Jungle” goes deeper than a simple expose of the meat packing industry; Sinclair’s real goal was to provide an in-depth expose of society itself. Likewise ‘Fast Food Nation” by Eric Schlosser provides a more modern portrayal of the working class their struggle to survive in our times while their peers often live in excess. By analyzing the socialist messages within “The Jungle” and “Fast Food Nation” the corruption of capitalism and fallacy of the “American Dream” reveal the seedy underbelly of society.

Veterinarians play an essential role in ensuring the safety of the food supply chain. Before 1996, when the Food Safety and Inspection Service initiated the Pathogen Reduction; Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP), the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) relied on sight, smell, and touch inspections to fulfill regulations (U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1999, para. 8-9). While food safety and inspection has been around for over a century, in the past more people knew the source of the foods they consume. Today, with the existence of major meat-packing facilities and global transportation, the majority of meat-related food-borne disease ...

Literature is a way that to learn about the rhythms of cycles of life. Fiction with a good plot and interesting characters is entertaining but even in fiction the author is sharing the topics that he or she thinks is important. The ideas that are presented through the characters and settings may be universal such as love is good and hate is bad. But most often literature addresses complex and even controversial issues as one or more of the themes.

The thesis of this paper is that fiction entertains us while giving us an opportunity to explore important issues in life. ...

Operations Management Principles

1. The need for cycle time reduction is usually dictated by the highly competitive environment, cost pressures and capacity constraints. In the closed track race, fast car maintenance can become a competitive advantage and every second is crucial for the team’s victory, therefore all the efforts are put to reduce the pit stop time. Cycle time reduction in this case is achieved by decreasing set-up time and “internalizing” it by means of performing as many tasks as possible in parallel or even during the race.

Set-up time reduction is usually attained through standardization of maintenance processes and spare parts ...
