In the infamous prose “Attention Whole Foods Shoppers” Robert Paarlberg, a Harvard international affairs expert divulges on the ongoing warfare with the issue of sustainability. Paarlberg focuses on how the rise in global starvation increases in less developed nations, but it is often ignored by those in developed countries because of their fixation with the green revolution. He asserts many claims as to why Africa and Asia still have high food deprivation rates, which quite contrary to popular belief has nothing to do with overpopulation.

His criticism of whole foods shoppers seeks to bring awareness to the issue of world hunger and how the quest to eat organically
In “Black Friday: Consumerism Minus Civilization” Andrew Leonard argues about ad spree by retailers and the consumers’ frenzy for buying on Black Friday that cross all limits of civilization. Leonard shows how Macy’s, Target and Kohls ad drive the consumers to buying craze on Thanks giving holiday. To illustrate his idea Leonard gives such specific examples of specific stores. While being so sarcastic about Black Friday buying craze, Leonard supports this to help American economy and employment. But, late night standing on line on Thanks Giving day outside the retail store to buy indicates our craziness.
Summary of Black Friday: Consumerism Minus Civilization The author Andrew Leonard states that the Black Friday insanity is not acceptable within the society. It is getting too out of hand and is leading to people being trampled to death over a good deal on something. Leonards information comes from Target employees who feel that it is unnecessary to have “Black Friday” sales on Thanksgiving, they feel like they should be able to spend Thanksgiving at home with their loved ones. The true meaning of Thanksgiving has been lowered, because people are too worried about getting a good deal rather than spending time with family and showing the true meaning.
It’s A Heart Thing Are we forfeiting the value of our holiday season? Have we completely abandoned tradition in exchange for consumerism? Some people argue that this is exactly the case. They would have us believe that we have surrendered every last bit of goodness, because we are so utterly consumed by physical possessions. Mark Walsh, in his essay titled “If You Go Black Friday Shopping on Thanksgiving, You’re Part of the Problem,” summarizes this perspective by claiming, “That’s the new meaning of Thanksgiving: count your blessings, and then buy some more blessings and count them again.”

For the past couple years I have had to work on Thanksgiving because I was in high school working at our local Tinsel town. So instead of enjoying Thanksgiving with my family I was planning what stores to hit first and what time frame we should be on the night of Black Friday. We've all fallen victim to this, and it's time we stop. Why is Black Friday,

Every year, you can almost predict the type of people you'll see when you go out and about on Halloween night. I say "almost" because you'll also always have interesting surprises and unexpected twists on costume ideas that you might not have thought of. It's always a fun time of year where the world of creativity takes the front seat and everyone can let their inhibitions sway to the side and get weird. Here are six of the most common outfits you'll most likely see don the streets every Halloween. Hellooooo nurse!

I find the notion that we should “occupy Black Friday””(Andrew Leonard’s “Black Friday: Consumerism vs. Civilization”). According to Leonard one act that a conscientious consumer could do would be a strike that would result in more layoffs, pay cuts, bankruptcies, and foreclosures.

Mom and dad left me at home by myself, since they went to an adult Halloween party. I had an odd feeling about being home alone on Halloween night, but all my friends had Halloween parties to go to and I didn’t really feel like partying.

I was only in there for 10 minutes when I heard the doorbell ring.
