Mcdonalds Ethical Issues

When an ethical dilemma turns to lies. On Oct. 20, 2014, Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke shot 17-year-old Laquan McDonald sixteen times. Once the tape was released thirteen month later, the relationship between the community, the mayor, and the Chicago Police Department was shattered.

The chain of restaurants started in the U.S. more than one half century ago (actually the first McDonald’s was open in 1940. The idea behind it was pretty simple: to feed fast and good as many people as possible. At that time there were just few of these restaurants but now people all around the world know McDonald’s and know where it came from: from the United States. The whole company is therefore often viewed as American but nowadays it has franchises in many states around the world. We can find over 30 thousand restaurants in 118 countries. However, the headquarters of the whole company is still in the U. S., in Illinois.

“Mickey D” as some call it has many fans, but with fans come haters. A few years back Mcdonald’s had a fake meat scandal which stopped many customers from ordering food. We soon found out that there was real meat, but also something called ammonium hydroxide or ¨Pink slime¨. Thankfully though Mcdonald's has stopped using this product in their meat. But according to https://www.thankyourbody.com/mcdonalds-hamburger/ “ the vast majority of fast food beef comes from CAFO (concentrated agricultural feeding operation) cows. Not only is this horrible for the animals and the environment, but eating meat from sick animals will only make you sick. Eat a McDonald’s hamburger and you might be getting a mouth full of antibiotics, hormones, and dangerous

McDonald’s began as a barbeque, and the brothers strictly offered burgers, fries, and pop. Ray Kroc heard about McDonald’s one day and went to visit the restaurant. Kroc was surprised by their efficiency and the quality of the food. Kroc liked the fact that the brothers could focus on the quality of food, due to the limited menu items. Subsequently Kroc realized their success could amount to much more and shared his vision. Kroc told the McDonald brothers that McDonald’s could be a national business serving people across the country. (At this point, Kroc did not even think about being international). Dick and Mac were thrilled with what they heard, so in 1955 Kroc founded the McDonald’s Corporation and opened the first McDonald’s in Des Plaines, Illinois. By 1960 Kroc had bought exclusive rights to McDonald’s. In 1961, Kroc developed Hamburger University where new employees were trained on how to run a successful McDonald's. Kroc wanted to develop the most efficient methods to store, cook, and sell food, so he had a laboratory built at Hamburger University where students' test different ways to make McDonald's more productive. Hamburger University is still in use today in the search for ways to better McDonald’s. McDonald’s had their first sit-down restaurant in 1962, and then in 1975, McDonald’s had opened their first drive-thru restaurant in Arizona. The first drive-thru restaurant was

Burger King and McDonald’s are two of the most popular fast food restaurants and have been in competition for years. Both of the restaurants have been in business for over 50 years, though Burger King was started before McDonald’s. Burger King was established in 1953 as Insta-Burger based in Florida. The company ran into financial issues and was bought out by David Edgerton and James McLamore in 1954, and the name was then changed to Burger King and a year later, the king was introduced. McDonald’s was first opened in 1940 by Dick and Mac McDonald in California as a drive-thru barbecue. After several attempts the brothers sold the business to Ray Kroc in 1955 and he established the McDonald’s franchise. These

Ethics- Ethics are defined as what society determines is right or wrong. Or a persons’ moral principles that determine if something they do or are going to is ethical or morally right. In a business however, the business management or CEO will write up a set of rules that they determine are the correct moral principles that need to followed when in the business. In terms of the film Ray is extremely unethical because he completely steals Dick and Mac’s McDonalds restaurant business and Brand. He does this slowly by unethically breaching his contract and as Ray opens and sells more franchises he starts to take over McDonalds and makes decisions without correctly consulting the 2 brothers.

McDonald’s is a public limited company, meaning that ownership of the company is open for sale to the public. This may cause problems within the company in the instance that McDonald’s wanted to propose a change in their company. This means that the request would have to go through all the stakeholders in the company first. And since McDonald’s is a public company, it would be mean even more of a hassle trying to get all the stakeholders to agree to a new proposal.

As the world's largest franchised corporation, with over 31,000 restaurants in 120 countries employing 1.5 million people, McDonald's is also one of the greatest consumer contributors to the trash epidemic facing our world today. As a corporation that boasts of its environmental responsibility, the question is: are they doing all they can.

McDonald (2001), asks for the decision-maker to consider all of the potential consequences of a decision prior to it being implemented. Although a decision had already been implemented in my situation, and I feel that the young client described above was not treated as he should have, I do believe that the actions taken to ensure client and staff safety were the best options. As Interior Health (IH) illustrates in an online posting, interventions for high risk code white patients include the use of restraints, including seclusion; two-person care at all times; use of a CCP; removal of all items that can potentially be used as a weapon; and initiating the process of transferring the individual to a higher level of care facility (Interior Health, 2012). With the described IH interventions, and considering the client’s reason for admittance, the modifications to his room were all a part of the recommended
