By providing conflicting viewpoints, using irony, tying in religious references, and giving anecdotes, Schlosser proves that success is not equally attainable for every fast-food worker, but is restricted to those on top. By narrowing down his argument to the general principles of success and failure, Schlosser provokes intense emotion and understanding in the reader.

This also connects to the way she maximizes and satisfies her work and life.
The seeds of the United States and its preliminary colonies were first planted in the 1607 establishment of Jamestown, Virginia, a critical moment in the United Kingdom’s first steps into colonizing the New World. As the UK’s presence in North America climbed following the success of Jamestown, groups of British settlers gradually began to replace Native Americans, yet interactions between the groups consistently varied between active assistance to armed conflict. Four years following Jamestown’s founding, William Shakespeare authored The Tempest, which drew a parallel to European colonization; a boat of foreign travellers lands on an unknown island, where inhabitants of both environments exchange for the first time.

Good role models lead by example. I have always thought of managers as a live billboard of how to present them in the workplace and exude the organization’s vision through their leadership. If management falls short then the employees will not be enthusiastic.
