The owners of Hobby Lobby Stores Inc., the Greens, devoted Christians and married couple who filed a suit back in November 26, 2013. This lawsuit was filed because of what the Green’s had to offer their employees in their health care agreement. Being devoted Christians, it is against most people’s belief to use contraceptives. As a business owner who is closed on Sundays and pays 90 percent more above the federal minimum wage, it 's safe to say that the Green’s mix their religious beliefs into their business and make sure there employees are taken care of. Out of 20 FDA approved contraceptives that are federally mandated, the Green’s had only objection to four of them.
In the 1970’s, a mysterious person named David Green started his own small pet department. He’d been interested in retailing and marketing since his youth. David had worked at many shops before building his own crafts store which he thought could be as successful as the pet department. With a loan of $600, David, his wife and two sons began making frames in their garage which soon became famous. A few years later on August 3, 1972, the family opened their first shop, a tiny 300-square-foot place (David Green).
Christian-owned arts and crafts chain Hobby Lobby has been accused of hypocrisy after it was ordered to pay $3 million as fine over its role in an ancient artifact smuggling case. Hobby Lobby president Steve Green started collecting ancient artifacts in 2009 for a huge Bible museum to be opened in Washington. On July 5,the Oklahoma City-based corporation agreed to pay the ordered fine after it was embroiled in the smuggling of ancient clay tablets and other archaeological objects which could have been looted from Iraq, the Chicago Tribune details.
Cailen Hollins Assignment #1: Nickelodeons Many nickelodeons began popping up all over the country in the year 1905, but all seemed to have one thing in common: the owners attempt to bring in an audience by decorating their store fronts. Images 2, 5, and 6 are great examples of this practice, although each is decorated in a different way. In Image 2, the owner of the “Princess Theatre” adorns his storefront by advertising for the current film he is showing. A sign for “101 Ranch” hangs across the entrance and animal hides cover the windows. This sort of elaborate decoration is also seen in Image 5, but instead of advertising for the movies themselves, the owners of this nickelodeon are trying to appeal to the publics’ sense of national
I truly believe that The Supreme Court is currently effective at maintaining and upholding the rights and freedoms of Canadians. I think The Supreme Court is necessary and is vital to our society. The Supreme Court brings justice to not only individuals but considers the needs and betterment of society in the R.v. Jordan case, Irwin Toy Ltd. V. Quebec and Saskatchewan (Human Rights Commission) v. Whatcott.
On June 30, 2014, the Supreme Court granted a landmark victory for religious liberty, ruling that family-owned corporations do not lose their religious freedom and could hold religious objections that allow them to opt out of the insurance coverage for contraception under the Affordable Care Act. The decision caused and uproar and ignited protests around the nation. No matter how unpopular the ruling in favor of Hobby Lobby was or how you feel about contraceptives, the ruling was a victory for believers who seek to live by faith and arguably, no other family in America, fit this mold more than the Green family. David Green, Hobby Lobby’s founder, and CEO, consistently made business decisions and choices based on biblical principles and his

The guilt of having had fallen victim to these toy companies is well planted, so Boog draws on the consequences of the toys to evoke fear on top of what is already producing turmoil in the hearts of his audience. Boog raises this level of fear when he makes a startling comparison for today’s parents. He relates Hello Barbie to another tech character that the generation of parents likely already has fearful memories of. Boog says, “Hellos Barbie even learns about your child through conversation, a lo-fi HAL 3000 from ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ channeling a perky and dopey teenager” (7).

Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen was highly criticized for undeniably demonstrating woman’s issues in the 19th century. While the play doesn’t change setting much at all, Ibsen clearly focuses in on the characterization of three insightful characters: Mrs. Linde, Nora, and Helmer. Mrs. Linde is a minor character; however, that doesn’t alter her effect on the play. She provides the mold for the perfect, idealized wife. Nora, the main character, develops rapidly in the play, and her character is a stark contrast to Mrs. Linde.
