...Article Rebuttal Week 3 BCOM 275 Article Rebuttal Work policies or rules are good tools to run a business. At spouse’s workplace, there are two policies or systems that could not agree with. First work policy is with regard to “One mistake and you’re fired.” It is always been observe at work, and this intimidates the workers, especially the Flex, and Part time employees. I do understand of the importance of this kind of policy because this requires a very intense training, patience, and much of common sense, especially in the well-being of the children. Sometimes this policy is not the answer to fix the problem. Because of just a simple mistake, employees are laid off from work. When new employee or someone becomes a “Ratio worker” he or she has to go background check, physical test, and enormous amount of training. In approximately two months, he or she can work with less supervision and considered as a ratio worker. With single mistake, a worker is sent home with no reassurance to return for work or he or she is fired. This I consider an inconsiderate or not reasonable to fire an employee just because of one mistake. The mistake should be weigh according to a degree of seriousness. No guideline or what basis why someone is fired just of a mistake. Everybody makes mistakes because no one is perfect. If the mistake posed a very serious offense it is understandable, but the mistake should serve as the reason for learning to solve the problem in case it...

...Week 3 Assignments Article Rebuttal: Marijuana BCOM/275 September 25, 2012 Gregory Hearnes Article Rebuttal: Marijuana According to Elon (2006), [Smoking a marijuana cigarette deposits about three to five times more tar into the lungs than one filtered cigarette. Smoking three to four joints per day causes as much harm to the respiratory system as smoking a full pack of cigarettes a day. Marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke.] The truth of the matter is that scientific studies show that marijuana is not toxic to humans, and the “overdose” amount is so unrealistic as to be laughable. More people have died from prescription drugs, firearms, alcohol, aspirin, or peanut butter than marijuana. There is no evidence that supports marijuana having ever caused any medical deaths. Alcohol and tobacco are both more addictive and dangerous than marijuana (Hubpages, n.d.) “Accident records from one study showed that up to 12% of non-fatally injured drivers and up to 16% of fatally injured drivers had marijuana in their bloodstream” (Elon, 2006). Just because an individual has marijuana in their bloodstream does not mean that they were under the influence at the time of their accident. Marijuana can show up in the bloodstream over 30 days after actually consuming it. This study is not accurate because it does not show that the individuals...

...Week 3 Individual Assignment - Rebuttal Paper BCOM/275 – Critical Thinking Patty Haynes 07/24/13 Virginia Carter The Rolling Stone magazine has recently been met with a slew of angry outbursts and boycotting for placing the well-known, suspected Boston Bombing Terrorist, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on its cover this month. The magazine is under scrutiny not just for placing his picture on the cover, but for how the picture portrays the suspect. Tsarnaev’s photo is a very glamorous, dreamy eyed, tousled hair, sexier version of himself in the photo. This glorified photo is exactly how The Rolling Stone portrays famous actors and rock stars that are meant to be admired. Harold Maass is the executive editor for an online forum called The Week. He currently posted an article saying that The Rolling Stone shouldn’t be chastised for their choice and it is simply a ploy to sell heaps and heaps of magazines. He states that maybe we shouldn’t be so angry at The Rolling Stone publication because the New York Times posted it on their cover first. Maass also backs up Janet Reitman of The Rolling Stone saying that the only thing that happened here was that he happened to be a huge news feature, and features make the covers of publications. He also agrees with other authors that claim this could help the American public snap out of their daydreams and see that terrorists don’t have to be dirty, rag wearing, foreign language speaking, Muslims. While all of these comments can be boiled...

...Legalizing Marijuana Article Rebuttal Bruce Wayne BCOM/275 October 24, 2011 Dr. Phil Jackson Legalizing Marijuana Article Rebuttal A persuasive article on legalizing marijuana was published by TIME magazine. The reasoning for legalizing marijuana was that it would generate the government an estimated 1.4 million dollars in tax money. This figure does not include additional taxation which could be applied to activities or jobs within the agricultural, marketing, and retailing sectors that would be generated if marijuana where to be legalized. Although legalization of marijuana may produce more jobs, stimulate the economy, and possibly reduce the majority of crime produced by the illegal distribution of marijuana. I still disagree with the idea and choose to rebuttal this article for the lack of reliability, validity of data used, and the faulty comparison that was displayed in this article. First off, TIME magazine is a well-known newsmagazine that has been publishing articles on politics, world issues, and business related topics since March 3, 1923 (TIME magazine, 2012). They are also partners with Cable News Network (CNN) which is a respected news source. Both of these factors are enough to convince the majority of individuals to think they are reliable sources when reading information regarding certain topics. For the most part they are, unfortunately I found a correction noted on the bottom of this article which causes me to think otherwise. The correction...
