Hobby Lobby is well known for it’s large selection of art and crafts products, along with their framing center and decorative pieces they offer to customers. What once started as a home frame making production, has evolved into a huge corporation that continues to be sound in its core beliefs as it first did during the home production. David and Barbara Green, decided to open up the first Hobby Lobby in 1972 (Our). From the Greens’ home made miniature picture frames to a selection of over 70,000 crafts and home decor products, the family always wanted to ensure they remained grounded in their religious beliefs (Hobby, Our). Hobby Lobby’s core values are stated in their mission statement, “Honoring the Lord in all we do by operating the company …show more content…

Under the Affordable Care Act, employers have to provide health care for their employees at no cost (Fuller, 2014). Along with Conestoga Wood Specialities, Hobby Lobby felt like this law was violating their religious freedom under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (Fuller, 2014). The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) of 1993 states that the government cannot restrict an individual’s religious freedom (Hobby). More specifically, the issue at hand in the lawsuit against the Health and Human Service (HHS) Mandate, was whether for-profit corporations have a right to exercise their religious freedom under the Restoration Freedom Act (Fuller, 2014). After many hearings in court and prayers from the Green family, the case was taken to the highest court in the land (Fuller-Gryboski, 2014). The final decision was five to four, that the RFRA applies to privately owned businesses like Conestoga Woods Specialities and Hobby Lobby (Gryboski, 2014). Justice Alito’s opinion was stated “ ‘Our responsibility is to enforce RFRA as written, and under the standard that RFRA prescribes, the HHS contraceptive mandate is unlawful’ ” (Hobby). Over joyed by the court’s decision, the Green family stated that the decision was definitely a victory, not just for their business but all who seek to live out their same faith (5). I think this was a perfect example of how the Hobby Lobby corporation is unapologetically living out their faith in

Hobby Lobby, I was on the fence about how I felt. I first completely agreed with the Green’s because it is their right to say no to something that goes totally against their beliefs. As the Greens believe that life begins at conception, these contraceptives are killing a baby in their minds and religion. They don’t think of it as a  fertilized egg, they think of it as a little human being that they are paying for their employees to get rid off. For a department to mandate that is totally wrong.

Opinion: I believe with the ruling. I am on the same page with Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. I agree 100% with his writing for the court, which stated that family-owned companies like Hobby Lobby should not be enforced to recompense for insurance coverage for contraception for workers over their religious oppositions. I believe that this ruling is accurate because it means that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 is efficient and does what it says that it does.

Organizational decisions differ from individual consumer decisions in the following ways: the manner in which products are purchased, what products are purchased, and the involvement of people in the purchasing decisions. Organizational buyers are defined as “people who purchase goods and services on behalf of companies for the companies’ use in manufacturing, distribution, or resale” (Solomon, 2017). The buyers have a complex job in ensuring that the items that are purchased on behalf of the company is in correlation of past demands and future projections of necessity. For example, an organizational buyer for Hobby Lobby would have to ensure that fall, and Halloween products are purchased at the correct volume ( basing off of the previous

There are three mission statements for a company. One of the mission statements is about the customers. Comparing and contrasting with an analysis on mission statement for mission statement one is that: The strong point about this mission statement is that : The company valued their customers in contributing positively to the company and develop a balance interest in other lives and professional skills of other employees. The weak point is that this company develops their own selection or list of skills, and this company only valued customers while the customers contributing positively to their company this is weak and ineffective. You should valued all customers is they contribute to the business or not and you don’t mix your personal lives with your business.

The Roe v. Wade decision had a profound impact on American politics, polarizing much of the nation into pro-life and pro-choice camps. Despite significant public backing in the early 1970s, there was widespread opposition, particularly among those associated with the Christian Right. The Christian evangelicals, who had largely been silent in politics before the 1960s, saw abortion as a threat to traditional values and began to organize against Roe. Members of the Republican Party’s New Right approached Jerry Falwell and encouraged him to create a “Moral Majority” organization that would mobilize conservative Christians to become politically active in the hope of capturing Congress and the White House (McKeegan 1992). United in the belief that all innocent life should be protected under the U.S. Constitution, these two groups formed an alliance that would dominate the Republican Party and revolutionize American politics.

Burwell case, regarding the passage of certain aspects of Obamacare. His remarks were nothing short of fierce criticism and sheer disbelief. Scalia claimed, “‘The Court 's decision reflects the philosophy that judges should endure whatever interpretive distortions it takes in order to correct a supposed flaw in the statutory machinery. That philosophy ignores the American people 's decision to give Congress "all legislative Powers" enumerated in the Constitution’” (Vogue et al.).

Such as the Lorillard Tobacco Co. v. Reilly case which banned tobacco advertising. This decision was made even though it infringed on the corporations right to free speech (Hudson). I agree with this decision to ban tobacco advertising regardless of the fact that it is unconstitutional. This Supreme Court ruling refutes the validity of the argument that the individual right of free speech in advertising being more important than the common good, in this case the common good attributes to public health. It is clear these prescription drugs are a hazard to public health.

Chick-Fil-A Case Study Despite being a fast-food restaurant, Chick-Fil-A is widely known for its exceptional customer service.
