In Melody Peterson’s “Our Daily Meds” , the history of marketing and advertising in the pharmaceutical industry is explored. The first chapter of the book, entitled “Creating disease”, focuses on how major pharmaceutical companies successfully create new ailments that members of the public believe exist. According to Peterson, the success that these drug manufacturers have experienced can be attributed to the malleability of disease, the use of influencial people to promote new drugs, the marketing behind pills, and the use of media outlets.
Walking through the door of Mrs. Saxton’s room in the beginning of September is like walking into a sauna on the sun. Waves of unbearable heat roll through the room and despite the efforts by the numerous amounts of fans, nothing can cool the occupants. Children and Mrs. Saxton alike despise the palpable warmth. It was this universal knowledge and shared disgust of the environment that gave us our inspiration for our pop: Chill soda. As we went through early drafts and ideas for our product, we wanted to come up with something that everyone could relate to, and Mrs. Saxton’s hot, sticky classroom seemed like the common ground we were looking for. Our thought was to create a product that would relate to the kids’ struggles and remove these troubles from our consumers. Thus, the idea for Chill was born. The main form of rhetoric we used was ethos- the idea of common ground and relatability with our focus group. Despite the lack

Furthermore, HERB intended to criticize and educate the public about the harmful biochemical that Ackman was selling. As Angela Burr stated in an article about the two different campaigns, “People should know about the adverse effects of Ambizac . . . [w]e feel it is our duty to make the public aware of this.” R. at 24. HERB is a health organization with a stated goal of educating the public about the benefits of natural medicines. Id. at 27. By employing Congressional lobbyists and investing in companies that produce “health-related products,” HERB is dedicated to eradicating risky biochemical medications. Id. With this proven track record, determining the motivating factor behind HERB’s advertisement is not difficult. As Burr stated, “It’s really a brilliant campaign. [HERB’s] informed the public of the evils of chemically produced medicine with humor.” Id. at 24. HERB, following its corporate mantra, produced the HerbaTab advertisements to make the public aware of the shortcomings of
We live in a world where being medicated has become a societal norm. Modern health care practices have set the stage for the proliferation of direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA) of prescription drugs by pharmaceutical manufacturers. Some of these practices include the emergence of managed care organizations (MCOs), the legalization of DTCA of prescription drugs, the emergence of the Internet as an alternative promotional channel, the increased desire by patients to become more involved in their own health care decisions, the disillusionment with traditional medicine, and the rise of ‘alternative’ medicine, to name a few. There is an ongoing debate as to the ultimate harm or benefit of this relatively recent practice of pharmaceutical manufacturers to direct their promotional efforts away from the physician and towards the consumer.

Another growing fad in the United States is the abuse of prescription drugs. The abuse is being done by not only adults but by teens. The most current trend today is the misuse of cough syrups and prescription medications to produce a “high.” Other medications abused today are stimulants (Ritalin), and benzodiazepines (Xanax). Health Watch (2004) state girls tend to lean towards the medi...
Second, we want to create innovative and sustainable products. We live to innovate -- it’s who we are. When our corporate responsibility initiatives begin leading us to new product development, it brings a new energy to our efforts. Whole divisions in our company open up to the prospects. Eyebrows are raised. There are results already: We’re finding ways to eliminate the toxic chemicals commonly used in making products and materials and teams are creating business models for generating revenue from ground-up old shoes; designers are developing products made of recycled polyester or organic cotton.
They work towards implementing greener business practices outlined in their Environmental Mission Statement, to help ensure a healthy environment for current and future generations. Their environmental statement acts as a shared philosophy that all members of the company anywhere in the world can adhere to as they carry on with their daily activities. By specifically highlighting a commitment to improving the environment, Bridgestone anticipates a heightened awareness to achieve a more sustainable society. The environmental mission statement identifies three areas of environmental progress – products and services, operations, and community activities – and two core strategies for growth – Total Environmental Advanced Management System (TEAMS) and environmental communication. By outlining these areas and strategies, Bridgestone is able to focus on three objectives: to value natural resources, to reduce CO2 emissions, and to be in harmony with
Increased expectations from society and demands to attract, satisfy and retain customers have made it strategically vital for companies to adopt practices and create products that strive to protect the natural environment. (Dangelico and Pujari 2010)
57). During recruitment, younger candidates are likely to show higher interest in a company with a successful sustainability program (SHRM, 2011, p. 33). Employers should seek those who seek to include environmental stewardship and social responsibility in their core values (Liebowitz, 2010, p. 52). Employers should also identify those individuals who are willing to work as team, adapt quickly to change, and inclined to take risk while finding creative solutions to problems. Success with new employees depends on early introduction of company sustainability goals; by including sustainability in the onboarding process, employees can relate the sustainability efforts to their job
Humans have been destroying the planet since we were able to stand on two legs. As a society, we need to work to reverse these terrible effects that our existence has on the planet. Sustainability is one way to begin reversing these effects, while still living our daily lives. In 2006, Al Gore presented his documentary, “ An Inconvenient Truth”, as a way to show the world the evidence behind global warming, climate change and the destruction of our planet. This documentary shocked the world. It was clear that changes needed to be made, but the destruction was more intense than previously thought. SInce this revelation in 2006, companies have tried to cut down on their greenhouse emissions, as well as offered sustainable products to their customers. Through a debate of morals and
In order to become a business (and HR) priority, there must be a business case for sustainability. When seemingly crazed environmentalists at Greenpeace and its ilk, state that the organizations that are the spearheads in sustainable, social and good governance practices have 25% higher stock value than their less sustainable compatriots, it is important to note that there is a robust business case for these organizations to behave in ways that are more responsible to the earth and to its people.
The primary goal of The Walt Disney Company is to become one of the world’s leading producers and providers of not only entertainment, but also information (The Walt Disney Company, 2014). The company aims to achieve this by utilizing its immense brand portfolio so as to differentiate services, content, and consumer products. While this is the overall goal, there exist other innate milestones that essentially touch on socially responsible business in enhancing sustainability. They include, but are not limited to; zero net greenhouse gas emissions, whereby the company aims to have reduced net greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2020; zero waste, whereby Walt Disney hopes to achieve a 60% reduction in waste from
The sustainability of ecosystems on which the global economy depends must be guaranteed. And the economic partners must be satisfied that the basis of exchange is equitable” (World). This quote demonstrates the complexities of sustainability. Another thing corporations should focus on when trying to be sustainable is their environmental impact. Annie Leonard in her book The Story of Stuff says that companies can significantly reduce their toll on the environment by changing their design. The design determines “the amount of energy used in making and using the product,” “the length of the product’s life span” and “its ability to be recycled” (Leonard). All these things determine the amount of resources a company must use, so simply changing a product’s design is one way a company can have a large impact on the sustainability of the environment in which it operates. One example of this is that “Wal-Mart attributed more that $100 million of its 2009 revenue to a decision to switch to a recyclable variety of cardboard in shipments” which it sells to a recycler instead of paying to send it to a landfill
