Diversity

My article is about the new diversity in barbie dolls. In the past when you would walk down the barbie doll asile it only had caucasian barbies. A typical looking American girl with blonde hair and tall. Although she was way to skinny. In the past september they have come out with African American dolls. simalar to the caucasion barbies dolls except for the skin color and hair color. The African American dolls have fuller lips, a wider nose and more pronounced cheek bones. They have three main African American dolls; Grace, Kara, and Trichelle. An African American woman that lives in Denver, CO. said that when she was younger there were no dolls that looked like her and that there were only the caucasian dolls. She thinks that it's great for kids to see this now, because the race differences will make a difference in the kids future. And since we have an African American president that's even better. They believe this being the first diversity in toys for children and it is most influential for them.

This is timeliness news because it has happened in the past few weeks. It will also have an Impact because it will affect a large amount of people. Oddity can be referred back to this because it is unique and it is also Progress news because it is new improvement for diversity. There is now diversity in Barbie Dolls for kids so the can learn at a young age that skin color doesnt matter. It's going to affect children and parents of all races. There are kids all over the USA and their are tons of people of different races, so it will effect almost everyone in america that have kids. This is an important event because it shows physically that races and colors of skin are something to judge people by and that will give kids clearity in the minds that you can't judge others because of that. It shows kids that diversity is a good thing.

I think that this is a great way of showing diversity to children and that it will work out well for the future. I'm sure if they had started this back along time ago then the world now would not have a problem with diversity. Also now that we have an African American president that shows that diversity is physically changing. As long as this is continued in the future then I think diversity will just be a problem in the past.

Leadership Web Site Article (Leader 2)

This article is telling you about how you should hire costumer-oriented people at your restaurant. If you hire costumer-oriented people at your work your costumers will give you a lot more respect and return. Also your reputation for your restaurant will go up. For the best results from costumers you should have the costumer-oriented people work as a waiter/waitress and in the fast food restaurants the should be working at the drive-thru and at the counter in the front. There are always going to be problems, nobody is perfect, so the best thing to do when a costumer is dissatisfied is to turn the negative into a positive and understand that the costumer is always right. Costumers are the most important part of the food service industry. Keeping your costumers happy will bring you a successful business.

This person seems like a leader because they didn't have one negative thing to say in the article and she gave you many solutions to bad situations. She is trying to help owners and managers of a restaurants so they know what will make them most successful and thats with costumer satisfaction. Well since restaurants are everywhere around the world and pretty much everyone eats at them, it will have a big affect on the whole population, but mostly in America. Everyone is a costumer and they want to be respected and have a good time when they go out to eat, so it will have a big affect on the population. This is an important leadership article because it's helping managers and business owner's if you want the best reputation then you need to have good costumer-oriented employees and that you need to take charge and make sure that your employees are right for that position.

I support everything it says in this article. I think that it is exactly right when it comes to having costumer-oriented employees because I hate it when I go out to eat and the person that is serving me isn't very nice and doesn't seem like they care at all. Since my dad is in the food service I know that this is exactly how it should be and these are the kind of people he would want to hire. It's always about the costumers. So in the end I think that all the things said in this article is the best way to get your restaurant the best reviews and reputation.

Head Butt article

1. What are your thoughts about this case? How did the video make you feel or think? Should the athlete be charged criminally for this act? Why/Why not?

I think that it was pretty crazy what happened. I don't get why someone would do something like that. That's just something that you don't expect in football, but we don't know if something had happened between these two players before it happened. I think that him being criminally charged is fine because he attacked him physically and this is what would happened to someone if it were outside of football too.

2. When competing in contact sports, should you have the same rights and protections as you would as an ordinary citizen regarding assault or should there be an expectation of violence? Why/Why not?

Well I think they should be the same if they literally start fighting during the game because most sports involve some contact. If anyone were to start fighting during a game it would pretty much be for the same reason if it were outside the game.

3. From each stakeholder perspective I want you to answer the following:
Here are the stakeholders: both players, each players parent, police (or state), teammates of both players, the coach, the athletic director and principal. FROM EACH OF THESE PERSPECTIVES I WANT YOU TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS SO YOU SHOULD HAVE 9 different stakeholder perspectives!!

How would this make you feel?
What would you want done about this situation?
What would you do about this situation?

Player that head-butted the other player:
I don't feel good about what's happening to me. What I did was wrong but I think they are being a little to harsh, I don't think i should be charged for this. I will do anything else besides being criminally charged.

Player that was head-butted:
I don't know why this guy did this to me. I think that him being charged is what should be done because he attacked me.

Parent of the player that head-butted the other player:
I am very disappointed what happened was wrong and shouldn't have happened. I don't want my son being charged but this is what he gets for doing that.

Parent of the player that was head-butted:
I was so scared for my son. It's unbelievable that this happened, it's not something you expect to see in football. It definitely wasn't right, that boy deserves to be charged.

Police:
The criminal charge is definitely what the player deserves. He attacked the other player and it doesn't matter that it was during the football game, he still would have been charged if it were outside the game.

Teammates of the player that head-butted the other player:
We think that he shouldn't be charged, it's a little too much. He should just be suspened from a few games. He doesn't need to be charged.

Teammates of the player that was head-butted:
This was very shocking, nobody expected this to happen. The player should be charged.

Coach:
Our player's decisions was very wrong of him. He shouldn't have done that, but since he did he has to pay the consequences. It's his own fault.

The athletic director and principal:
What this student did is very embarrassing for our school. He made poor choices and it is only right for him to criminal charged. If the other family thinks this is what needs to be done then thats the right thing to do.
