Boycotts are important social actions that have an astounding effect on
what goods are produced and how they are produced. By boycotting goods
or services, it effects supply and demand nationwide.
Create an
informational flier which will support a boycott. Choose a good or
service that you wish to boycott. Within the flier explain what the
product is, and give at least 3 reasons why you believe it should be
boycotted. Also include what alternatives the person reading your flier could do to support the boycott.Be creative with your explanations, but make them believable.
This is due POSTED before you take the test on Friday.
Boycotting McDonalds
ReplyDeleteTrey
If I were to boycott one company or product it would be McDonalds. Their food is unhealthy and I would help everyone to believe that and make them change the unhealthiness to healthy. The benefits of the consumers would be healthier food. The benefits for the company would be they get more people to come to their fast food resturaunt and be feeding people healthier food. The way to do this is to eat at different resturaunts that are healthy and make McDonalds see that they cannot keep feeding people bad food or else they will go out of business.
Boycott L’Oreal Animal Testing
ReplyDeleteMelissa
L’Oreal tests their makeup on the animals to see if they react badly.
Don’t test on Animals! They will shave your animals, and test ingredients on them to see if there is a reaction. Animals don’t wear makeup; so don’t put any on them!
Why should animals have to suffer for our personal looks?
Alternatives: Stop wearing L’Oreal! Wear a different type of makeup, or just stop wearing makeup!
Benefits: animals aren’t being tested on, and live a normal life
Boycotting Gasoline
ReplyDeleteFreddie
Gas is polluting the air and that is always not a good thing. You would also save tons of money not buying gas. People made electric cars for a reason, stop buy GAS! Alternatives are ride a bike, walk, or drive an ELECTRIC car.
Boycotting Trees being chopped down in the rainforest
ReplyDeleteMadyson
Trees being chopped down in the rainforest is a serious issue. It not only takes away from nature but also from everything that lives in the trees. There are many things you can do to help prevent these actions. Many species have become endangered because of this issue. It occurs everyday, and takes shelter and food from the animals that live within the rainforest. These species can't stop us from destroying the rainforest, but we can stop us.
Alternatives: Using computers, recycling, using hemp and cotton paper instead, and making sure to encourage each other to help save the earth
Benefits: Multiple species saved from extinction, a cleaner and greener earth, not destroying nature!
Boycotting Caterpillar Inc.
ReplyDeleteBrance
While their products may be useful for construction and agricultural uses, this company produces weaponized bulldozers that are used by Israeli soldiers as weapons of war. They are being used to destroy Palestinian homes, property, and roads. One such machine was also used to kill a young American volunteer, Rachel Corrie, who was trying to prevent a Palestinian home from being destroyed.
Alternatives: construction and agricultural companies are encouraged to purchase vehicles and equipment from corporations other than Caterpillar

Boycotting Jewish Businesses
ReplyDeleteGabby
The Nazi boycott of Jewish Businesses in Germany took place on April 1, 1933, soon after Adolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of January 30, 1933. The Boycott was the first of many measures against the Jews of Germany. It was a state-managed campaign of ever-increasing harassment, arrests, systematic pillaging, forced transfer of ownership to Nazi party activates and ultimately murder of owners defined as “Jews”. In Berlin alone, there were 50,000 Jewish owned businesses when the Nazis came. By 1945 they were owned by Christians

ReplyDeleteI think we should boycott any cosmetics that test on animals. Now with the technology we have, there is no need to test on animals. There are plenty of good products that do not test on animals and are all natural. This way, we can get some companies that do test on animals to stop.

ReplyDeleteShark fishing, men fish for sharks and cut off their fins and throw the body back. this is animal cruelty and is just wrong. They only use the fins of the shark to make soup. If you are going to capture the shark, use the whole body and not just the fins.

ReplyDeleteI would boycott everything related to KU. I would boycott, all of the merchandise, all of the fans, and all of the students and education. They always try to trash talk against K-State. They think their teams are good when really, they suck. Instead of going for KU, they could buy K-State merchandise and support K-State athletics instead of wasting their time and money on KU. I think it is wrong that KU is even involved and heard of in this world.
