Potential ramifications to consider in marketing

Potential ramifications to consider in marketing

There are ethical issues and potential ramifications to consider in marketing, when unhealthy products (or those that would be unhealthy when consumed in excess) are sold. Examples could include some of the advertising used for sodas and sugary drinks, alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, and high-calorie “junk food.” A particularly sensitive topic is the issue of marketing to children. Think about how perceptions of “healthy,” what business practices are socially acceptable, and where responsibilities lie have changed over time. Several very good articles on this subject have been identified for you in the South University Online Library and are listed below. Review those and conduct your own research on this topic. Then respond to the following:

Ronald McDonald has been a staple in advertising McDonald’s fast food restaurants since the 1960s. What ethical issues do you see in using Ronald McDonald or McDonald’s new mascot, Happy, to market to children?

Is it ethical to use either Ronald or Happy in McDonald’s charitable efforts? What issues concern you?

Should McDonald’s and other food sellers do more to make their menus healthy?

What changes do you think should be made to try and resolve some of these issues, and how would you go about implementing them?

Different ways to conceptualize health policy and law

Different ways to conceptualize health policy and law

We have learned about different ways to conceptualize health policy and law, one of which is to look at key stakeholders affected by policy changes. Every couple of years a proposed bill goes to the New Jersey legislature that would require all public water sources in New Jersey to be fluorinated. Please name one key stakeholder and describe the implications such a bill would have on that stakeholder if it were to pass.

Roles and responsibilities of managers

Roles and responsibilities of managers

The roles and responsibilities of managers and leaders are closely intertwined and related; however, a manager is not necessarily a leader and a leader is not necessarily a manager.
