On Youtube McDonald’s Canada had to close down the opportunity to comment on their most recent commercial because of all of the criticism the commercial was receiving and negative notes that it was creating.
Although McDonald’s receives a lot of criticism in the media and are constantly reminded with how unhealthy their product is; their product has made steady profits throughout the past 5 years (See Appendix 1). Information about the product has not seemed to affect the buying habits of customers and have even improved them. This could mean that there is a diluted population that do not like McDonalds and make their presents known online.
Tim Horton’s
Tim Horton’s has had a long a steady increase of sales since its opening in 1964 (Penhold, 2009). The company has branded itself to easily becoming Canada’s leader in coffee and fast food.

"What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself. --
Looking back from when I began my career, I can say I came a long way learning the concepts of understanding the expectations that arose from all my positions. In my first job just after graduating, I was appointed as a Business Accountant of a multinational company. Since then, I was caught in the myth that people who were in leadership positions or high ranking were leaders. Being in a junior position, I could have the least effect on any new ideas as my voice seems to have landed in deaf ears. I have seen how those businesses were not in line with their Missions and Values only to find later that many of the staff had left the company.
Tim Hortons is currently recognized as the largest fast food restaurant chain in Canada. It provides a variety of products that are appealing to a broad range of costumer choices and the prices are relatively attractive for most of the consumer range.

I believe that Excel can enhance the younger generations math learning skills. I think that as long as the basic math skills of calculating numbers are learned and mastered first, then Excel can be of a great benefit in the development of the critical thinking skills that are necessary to implement all of the different formulas. I believe that this kind of critical thinking that is required to realize how to formulate the data is a very important skill to develop. I do think that the younger generations and everyone else's calculating skills become a "little rusty" because of continually relying on Excel to do all of the calculating instead of doing the math out longhand, but this can occur even through the use of calculators. I think Excel

The exits are well lit and the exits consist of the main entrance, back entrance and side entrance. There are a fire alarm and sprinkler system and also an emergency plan on each floor.

•In the recent times McDonalds has been blamed for the high fat content in its products and many consumers perceive that the food served at their outlets is not healthy. Also, the consumers are becoming increasingly health conscious these days. McDonalds
Them starting to idolize McDonald’s foods can lead to obesity and other negative side effects (Traphagen, Brown). McDonald’s does indeed affect society in a positive way, but the cooperation needs to be held responsible for their negatives. They are one of the biggest money consuming companies in the world and make large profits. With their extensive advertisements towards anyone who will watch and winning over people to buy their products it’s no wonder why they’re so good at what they do. Sure maybe they don't go about it in the best ways, but McDonald’s corporation knows how to run a business and get people to come to the
McDonald's marketing targets everyone in every age,gender,races and does not have a select audience. The company claims that their restaurants offer meals for youngsters, a serene place to relax with free wi-fi for adults, and a quick delicious breakfast for those in a hurry in the morning.
McDonald’s also needs to focus on people and organizations that have a negative stigma of their brand when creating their social media campaigns. Some of these organizations may include People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and any other organization that works towards decreasing obesity. They also should keep in mind different media organizations that write about nutrition and health. All of these organizations will jump at any chance they can get to attack McDonalds. It’s important for McDonald’s to lean on the safe side when it comes to making social media campaigns because it’s such a huge organization, and there are many people out there who dislike it.
McDonald’s is the world’s largest fast-food chain, serving nearly 47million customers daily with over 31000 restaurants worldwide. American children see over 253 advertisements of it over a year, with that being spent of course on a lot of creative advertisements.
