    Coca-Cola Company Vs. Seaver Of Grove Press Inc.

    The correspondence of letters between Herbert of the Coca-Cola Company and Seaver of Grove Press Inc. serve to establish which company has the precedent to use the slogan “It’s the Real Thing.” Through satire and irony, Seaver undoubtedly offers the more persuasive case. Herbert appeals to his sense of logos to persuade Seaver to refrain from using the slogan by offering an accumulation of reasons to support his argument. Seaver’s initial tone is one of business sand politeness; upon further inspection, his scathing tone reveals itself by his rebuttal of each of Herbert’s arguments.…

    Coca-Cola Vs. Herbert's Diary Of A Harlem Schoolteacher

    The world of business is often complicated and unpredictable, as are many aspects of life. The conflict between the use of "it's the real thing" for the advertisement of Coca-Cola and the novel "Diary of a Harlem Schoolteacher," is quite humorous, to the point of absurdity. The letters both present each side of the case; however, the one written by Richard Seaver is far more persuasive.…

    Promotions at Uptown Bottling and Canning Company

    The majority of racial discrimination cases are very difficult to analyze. The case of “promotion at uptown Bottling and Canning Company” is not the exception. The key points that I found to study in this case are the ration of management positions offered between black and white employees, the time when Grant applied for the open position and was granted to Thompson and the leadership potential excuse that Grant was given when the company denied him for the promotion.…

    A Brief History of Coca-Cola

    This year marks the 125th anniversary of my beverage of choice - Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola was created in Atlanta, Georgia, by pharmacist Dr. John Pemberton on May 8th, 1886 and in its first year only 9 glasses of the beverage were sold. Today, the Coca-Cola company sells 1.7 billion beverage servings per day on average, and its product portfolio has expanded to offer more than 3,500 beverage choices to consumers. One hundred and twenty-five years later, Coca-Cola is sold in more than two hundred countries worldwide – but that just scratches the surface of what the company is about. In addition to being the world’s number one beverage producer, Coca-Cola is leading the charge, around the world in sustainability; especially in the areas of waste reduction, renewable forms of energy and water conservation.…

    The Controversy Of Racial Discrimination In The United States

    Everyone accepts racism when they see it right in front of them. However, it is often hard for people to acknowledge the benefits that they are given because of systematic racism. While one in four black males are incarcerated, only one in seventeen white males are. When the term white privilege is used, people tend to squirm as they are reminded of the history of their ancestors and the foundation of this country. The term gives many people an uneasy feeling; it causes them to feel guilty, rather than informed. The second I mention the term, heads turn and people stare. It is not an easy topic for white Americans to acknowledge, because of the guilt it carries. However, the US will not be able to move forward in the fight for equality if white…
