Part 1
This summary explains about the men and women from Mexico, Central America, and South East Asia that migrated from there homelands to seek oppertunity. They searched for job's and many of these people turned to meat packing jobs. They called this factory the Slaughter House giving the job a good empression on what conditions the job offered. The workers where payed $9.25 cents per hour which is right above poverty wages. This job had its affects as you can see it described that average worker quit, or was fired every three months. So it explains the harsh conditions that these immigrants faced. I could imagine how many of these immagrants felt over worked, tired but was left with no choice but to work. I worked at mcdonalds and thought that was tough labor, these workers often where injured, sick,or even faced amputations for minimum wage jobs.

How to do one thing at a time
This summary identifie's that we shouldn't multi task, since our brain's have congitive limits. Yet people are working while on the phone, or multi tasking decreasing there lack of focus. Which can result's into you being less productive. Then multasking can become more dangerous when texting while driving, or talking on the phone. That make's it very dangerous for people's lives thats are on the road. Since you are multi tasking it makes you get carried away from a your other task, which can be driving resulting into some ones life. So it shows what degrees multi tasking can have on us. So its alway's better to do a task according to sequence.
What i like the author mentions is that it was proven by Professors at Stanford University for some students to multi task, and other students to focus on there main task. The students that performed there main task with out multi tasking exceeded way better, and had better memory. I felt that was a very significant idea to prove we shouldnt multi task, due to the lack of focus. Us humans have a certain amount of task our mind can work on. So it's jus better off to take it task by task by completing it according to sequence.
I am proof to explain that multi tasking can be very defective. I am a sales associate at macy's and work with selling woman shoes. There where days like black friday i would be faced with up to ten customers at the same time.Customers complaining they have been waiting to long for shoe's, resulting into me being less productive. When the days go by smooth and i can serve one or two customers at a time i am always being productive. so thats proves that doing task according to sequence is proven to be better.

The most interesting idea in this article is the devolpment of how fast food originated. In this article it explains how the poor who have no home food go out for cheap fast foods, and as time accumulates businesses notice this is what people are spending there money on. So buisnesses create new fast food restaurants, giving great advertisments and deals which gives them lots of recognition. What i dont agree with is that they say young black men spend most of there money on fast food. People all around the world even if there black, white, chinese, or latino consume there money on there own specific fast foods, giving fast food more recognition.
What i never noticied was that many teenagers are protien poor but fat , and carbohydrate rich. This is due to the fact of all the supersizing, and overdosing of fast foods making teenageers unhealthy. This gives a high percentage of obiesity in our communities. At the end of the day its the people choice, we all have the right to choose what we eat. So all these fast foods actually are you using good buinsess tactics making americans want to spend on there buisness.
What this article reminds me of is a movie called supersize me. In this movie called supersize me it views a man that was perfectly healthy according to doctors. It would view this man eating mcdonalds for the two months for breakfast, lunch, and dinnner. As time grew and he consumed mcondalds his blood pressure was rising, he gained 25 pounds in two months, and had lots of body fat making him completley unhealthy. Showing the criticism that nutritions had against mcdonalds or even fast foods.
After this article i wouldnt recommend that you stop eating fast food. I would jus recommend that you would balance how much you choose to eat fast food. If you choose to eat some thing to much or even take medicine to much there can be side affects to overdosing. Just as the side affect this man in supersize faced obiesity throwing up, and high body fat. Fast food is a verry taste experience and i dont go against it, but i go against to much consuming of fast food.
