Water makes up 75% of human body. It is the most important ingredient in our bodies. Today many people ignore drinking water and concentrate more into the carbonated drinks. One of the main reasons I would think people drink more carbonated drinks (such as sodas and sport drinks) is because of the way a company hype up their products and use their marketing strategies to influence people into buying them. Many benefits come out of drinking water. First, it quenches one’s thirst much better than any carbonated drinks. Second, it keeps one’s skin clear and healthy looking. In addition, it protects the human body from several diseases. Many people choose drinking sodas and sports drinks than water because water does not have much of a taste and carbonated drinks are flavored and tasteful. I guess I am one of those people who has being caught on to the hype of the soda companies. I do not really drink much water I would say I barely drink two cups a day, but I know the how good water is for my body. So I am modifying my behavior by adding more water to my diet.
Target Goal-
I have being drinking a lot of sodas and sport drinks, and maybe barely two cups a day of water. I guess I am one of those people who care more about the taste then its contents but I have to change to have a longer lasting health. I know the advantages and benefits of water so I am going to reduce drinking carbonated drinks and concentrate more on drinking water. One of the benefits I see that comes out of drinking water is I will be saving a lot of money on sodas and sport drinks. But the main reason to drink water would be to achieve good and better health.
Design-
I drink around one cup of water everyday. Therefore, I will start my baseline recording from drinking a cup a day. I am going to start my first week off with drinking 2-3 cups a day for 5 days a week. My overall goal is to drink 10 cups of water per day for 5 days a week by end of this assignment. I decided to use the changing-criterion design for the modification to drink more water. In this design, I am going to increase my criterion by adding 2 drinks to the previous week for 5 days week every week. The first week I will start out with drinking 2 cups per day for 5 days a week. And then finally the 5th week end up at 10 cups for 5 days a week. My detailed criteria of the treatment phase are going to...

...th 10 cups for 5 days a week.
The fifth week rolls around with 10 cups a day for 5 days week. I wasn’t really sure about this week but I also wasn’t about to give it up. I planned out the next 5 days so I finish my criteria of 10 cups a day. I would carry the bottle around with me and keep track of how many cups I was going through. I started doing that Sunday and I did it till Thursday. I made it by drinking 10 cups a day for 5 days a week. I am not sure if I will be able to keep pace with the way I did for the previous weeks. But I am sure that I will be drinking a lot of water then before.
Conclusion-
I made my goal of drinking 10 cups a day for 5 days a week. It felt good to have set my mind on something and actually accomplish it. I felt challenged and disciplined, which were sometimes difficult but good to have. I hope to keep up with this program and drink some more water. I don’t know if I will have as much water consumption as I did during the project but I sure will be drinking more water than I used to before this program. I had 156 cups of water within these 5 weeks of program. I am glad I did this project and have a great feeling of accomplishment.
But Wal-Mart’s care for us goes beyond that simple relationship. As many of us have seen if we have been to a Wal-Mart, they hire people who normally would not be able to get a job. The company knows that by broadcasting itself as positive and helpful in nature it can increase its revenue and in turn increase the amount of assistance it provides to us the consumer. “In 2004 Wal-Mart donated over $170 million. More than 90 percent of these donations went to charities in the communities served by Wal-Mart stores.’ Even more heartfelt than this, Wal-Mart was the leader in goods based relief efforts for victims of hurricane Katrina. “Walmart’s response to the hurricane was lauded even by its critics: it donated more than $20 million worth of merchandise, including food for 100,000 meals, and it promised jobs for all of its displaced workers.” And the first supply truck to arrive at the superdome was a Wal-Mart truck.

Corporation has is to increase profits for its stockholders. Through a utilitarian perspective, we can see that Wal-Mart is acts in a way to product the greatest possible balance of good over dissatisfaction for their stockholders. Wal-Mart upholds the fiduciary duties to their stockholders by not increasing wages of their employees, instead they take the sum of money and return it back to their stockholders and shareholders such as customers and suppliers. Wal-Mart creates the happiness for the amount of people who invest in the company. Ethics is about the consequences of an action and the consequence of Wal-Mart’s actions creates the greatest amount of good for the people who are the primary stockholders of the corporation.
After a long deliberation I decided to do my behavior modification project on my unhealthy eating habits. There are many meaningful reasons why I choose this as my behavior to modify. I want to kick start a healthy lifestyle change by eating healthier and being more active. Another upside to modifying this behavior is too hopefully *fingers crossed* lose a few unwanted pounds. The long term goal of this change is to live a happier, healthier life, and become more confident in myself. I have high hopes that I can achieve all of these goals by cutting out junk food and sweets and replacing those items with nutritious and balanced food.
The term collective bargaining is quite common within organizational circles. The term captures the reality of the issues that exist in the relationship between employers and workers. Indeed, employers need employees to provide the necessary labor to achieve organizational goals. Irrespective of whether the employer is the government or from the private sector, collective bargaining is an important element for ensuring a better working relationship with employees. To understand this, it is prudent to provide a definition of collective bargaining because it captures its essence. Collective bargaining entails a negotiation process between employers and workers regarding better employment terms and working conditions. Often, employers and employees
After a lengthy literature review on the subject, Card and his colleagues argue that “As this discussion [literature review] makes clear, the impact of unions on the structure of relative wages depends on both which types of workers tend to be unionized and on how union relative wage impacts vary across different groups of workers (Card, Lemieux & Riddell, 7).” This means that the demographics of workers in unions and how union wages impact these varying groups is significant, includ...
Based on the information and data collected through research the statement that soda has no nutritional benefits for the human body and causes harm, opposed to stating that soda has no negative effects to the body can be made. Soda is often a big part of a human’s diet. Therefore, the harmful effects of soda are occurring without people knowing soda is to blame and not having the knowledge of the illnesses that are linked to it.
In today’s world of employment, one can choose to work in a unionized or a non unionized workplace; both situations have positive and negative attributes. In a unionized situation, members experience benefits such as union representation, and aversions such as layoffs and strikes. In a non-union situation, workers experience benefits such as better treatment by management, and aversions such as decreased benefits and overall decreased wages. Although over the last few decades union membership and growth have decreased, organized labor is becoming popular.
Humans use water on a daily basis, in everything from drinking, to cleaning, and for recreational uses in pools or waterparks. But the human body itself is the main contester in how it is used. Water is a dissolving essential in vitamins and nutrients for food and for delivering them to cells. Our bodies also use water to flush out toxins, regulate body temperature, and aid our metabolism. The human body is 50-75 percent water, and when that water is lost in digestion or sweat, it needs to be replenished to continue functioning.
Surveys have shown that sugar-sweetened beverages are the primary source of added sugar in our diets. According to a Coca-Cola history website, the soft-drinks’ bottle sizes have been enlarged drastically over the past 40 years, basically meaning that we are drinking more soft drinks than ever. As an example, half of the population in the US consume sugary drinks every day, in which about 25 percent gain at least 200 calories from these drinks. Sugary drinks are also the top calorie source in teen’s diets, increasing the risk of diseases such as obesity, diabetes and heart problems from an early stage. It is a significant factor that leads to obesity, so I believe resisting these sugary drinks and promoting healthier products could definitely assist the goal of elevating the number of a healthy
Soda contains carbonated water and that does not contribute anything beneficial to your body. There are some experts who claim that carbonated water is not nearly as good when it comes to hydrating your body as regular water. You also gain no health benefits from drinking diet soda as it is excreted out through instant urination. Soda is very rich in sugar and the average America can of soda contains nearly 40 grams of it and this is definitely not good for your
Drinking more water will keep people healthy and energized, by just drinking a cup a day.
Walmart, a conglomerate with global sites, has influenced its subsidiaries and co-operate in managing, addressing, enforcing and formalizing its foundation because of organizational structure and culture. For example, “Approximately 500,000 Wal-Mart associates throughout United States have participated in the Personal sustainability Project (PSP), a voluntary program encouraged by CEO Lee Scott (Ferrell, Fraedrich, Ferrell, 2011).” “Scott called also called for Congress to increase minimum wage and noted that Wal-Mart had increased spending on health insurance (Ferrell, Fraedrich, Ferrell, 2011).” They share values, disciplinary actions, standards of learning are the same with all their stores. They are leaders in their business and they lead by example. This category share corporate social responsibility which rate from zero to five is in richness according to the content analysis theory (Jizi et al2014) that is used to measure corporate social responsibility, will prove that Wal-Mart’s chains-stores: Sam’s Club, and other owners in the Wal-Mart company, value key stakeholders including the minority individuals. These are people who are interested in an “everyday low price.” It is used to measure the content of CSR disclosure of community involvement, environment, human resources, and social products and service quality according to (Jizi et al2014).Wal-Mart is quite aware that being socially responsible is very expensive. However, with the annual disclosure giving greater transparency in daily operations, I believe that more investors will become interested in its evolution and be able to benefit from its profit. For example, China is the largest supplier for Wal-Mart according to (Ferrell, Fraedrich, Ferrell,
The United States working class has long lagged behind other industrialized nations in collective bargaining coverage for public- and private-sector workers. Yet the right to collectively bargain is essential so that working men and women have the strength to improve their living standards, provide for their families and build a strong working middle
While I was tracking my eating for these three days, I began to learn about the benefits of the food that I am eating and the nourishment that they provide for my body. I had never realized how big of a role that the food that I eat plays in my everyday life. Eating has never been something that I really think about it is just something that I do. After I looking at the data of what I eat on Choose My Plate, I realized that my eating habits are far from balanced and that I needed to work on bringing my eating habits to a better balance. While there are a lot of things that I have been doing right, there are also many things that I can work on.
