    Summary: In the essay, “Part-time Employment Undermines a Student’s Commitment to School” by Laurence Steinberg, it explains how studies show that teenagers that work while attending school are more likely to loose their commitment to school. Steinberg tells the effects on students when they work more than twenty hours a week. His theory was that students are more susceptible to losing their interest in school, while working. They may have to work in the evening time, which can interfere with homework, sleep and diet.

    Teenage workers are more likely to be untrained, and for this reason the job becomes more dangerous because the workers don’t know what they’re doing and could injure themselves by doing the wrong thing. Schlosser states, “The most common workplace injuries at fast food restaurants are slips, falls, strains, and burns” (Schlosser 83). While talking about the likelihood of injuries happening while working in a fast food restaurant, Schlosser mentions that armed robberies are more likely now in fast food restaurants than banks or even convenience stores (Schlosser 83). Although most of the robberies do not end with death, the chances of a violent crime in a fast food restaurant are high. Schlosser uses pathos because we view teenagers as innocent and as still being children, so we don’t want them to be in any danger. We feel sympathy for them because it’s unfair to have to work knowing that they are risking their safety. While the industries try to take action by “spending millions on new security measures,” the chances of a robbery happening are still

    McDonald’s is known for its greasy and unhealthy food, but many disagree that McDonald’s is to blame for people, particularly children, being overweight. Schlosser creates this image that McDonald’s is to blame for the escalated weight of people, specifically Americans. In this article, Schlosser ignores the multiple other causes of obesity. Many people are overweight due to health issues and prescribed medications that can cause increased weight gain. Schlosser is so focused on his view of McDonald’s being bad that he does very little to address the other causes and factors for weight gain. Eating at McDonald’s is more about personal choice, parenting and lifestyle issues. Americans choose not to exercise, and they choose to play video games instead of participating in actual sports; they eat McDonald’s instead of healthy and homemade meals. If a
