I have to be honest with you, I don't think there are any conclusions to come to at this point. I haven't heard of any statistics that have to do with the "McDonalds model" and how it affects different societies.
If you talk about "Fast Food Culture", the best you could do is just provide examples of things like the KFC Christmas Chicken deal. There might be some other things like that in Japan... but none that I really know of. I can only imagine how many things like that exist around the world though. That sounds like an awful lot of research for an English paper. "My professor said that there was a study where some sociologists sat in some McDonald's in China and observed how people acted near a McDonald's compared to as away from it, and also how they acted when they were in it." This sounds cool in practice, and will probably give somewhat accurate resutls, but I think it's far from being a completely sound expiriment. I guess sociology is just one of those things, but obersvations alone might not capture the depth to which McDonalds affects societies. Obviously I don't know anything about the study, but like if they're gonna go to a restaraunt and compare how people act to how they would normally act, I'd hope they went to other restaraunts to provide a "control". Speaking personally, I get pretty anxious when I'm hungry, so I'll probably be a little more rude than usual. That will probably make me give off more non-verbal signals than just being in a place that is different from my home-culture would. At any rate, is there a website that has the study that you are talking about on it? |

I checked it out on Amazon... it looks like there's a new version (ver. 6). It has examples "from the digital world" which could very well be the wifi-access that I was talking about.
It sounds like a very interesting book. I might have to take a look at it. By the way, that might be just what you need for your essay. Have you read one of those books yet? |

Komitsuki, check out the wikipedia article on Lotterias.
Lotteria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The word McDonalds is written there almost as much as the word Lotterias. Lotterias might not have been had McDonalds not existed. "Stop complaining. We have more piracy than never before and there is no way to bring the piracy rate down. You can complain this for the rest of your life." This just sounds ridiculous. I can kind of understand things by giant corporations... maybe, but we're talking about a book written by a college teacher. And X2cool... I know what you mean. $30+ is a gamble on something that you're not entirely sure about. I've wasted a ton of money on books in my day. On the bright side, you could always check out some libraries in your area. If they don't have it, ask your teacher-- maybe he or she has it. Although there is something very cool about digitalized books that I'm lookign forward to... ctrl F. I can only imagine how many hours of my life I could've saved if they had a ctrl F function on paper books. If only I was born in the late 90's! |
