Business Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In “Inclusive” Marketing of Bud Light, and How Did It Become So Controversial? Business 0 In the second half of March 2023, one of the biggest beer brands, Bud Light, promoted a new campaign targeting certain people: LGBTQ+. Bud Light have put trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney forward upon their campaign and have implemented a new edition with a rainbow cover representing the LGBTQ community. This campaign has aroused a boycott from some groups of people, especially from the right-winged people. The Bud Light Vice President, Alissa Heinerscheid, asserted that the sense of “inclusivity” was necessary to achieve the brand’s evolution and elevation. Among the tension and boycotts between different groups, some experts suggest that inclusive advertising is effective apart from the controversies surrounding the issue. To give an encapsulation of the response of consumers, there are two representative groups: LGBTQ+ and right-wing people. Some of the right winged consumers have strongly shown their discontent with the new campaign. They have uploaded a video showing their objection by shooting the Bud Light beer or throwing the beer out in the sink. Their displeasure is getting aggressive and has aggravated the tension among the public sentiment about the campaign. The consumers did not simply feel disagreement or displeasure with the campaign but further felt a sense of betrayal and quoted "In Bud Light's effort to be inclusive, they excluded almost everybody else, including their traditional audience” (Byrne). The rage and the boycott did not stop but got bigger and the criticism and condemnation turned faces to the influencer Dylan Mulvaney, the trans activist. The partnership between Mulvaney and Bud Light Gaining a positive left media reputation over the original customers; has been controversial but it can be considered successful marketing. Despite of backlash about the campaign from conservative customers, some experts claim that Bud Light’s marketing was successful, in fact, it is lucrative for business. The consumer’s response creates a doubtful point on account of a large number of people in opposition, and the boycott. However, Bud Light was not the only company that has tried LGBTQ marketing. LGBTQ marketing has been popular and highly effective in terms of admitting the excluded community as a member of society and attracting them as consumers. Converse, Youtube, M&M and so many other companies have shown successful LGBTQ marketing and their responses were positive. However, Bud Light’s advertisement is notable for the extreme anti-trans backlash when it is compared to the other companies that also have used LGBTQ marketing. Targeting a certain group of consumers are a typical and common marketing tactic over years. Nonetheless, when it becomes a political issue, people become unrestrained and reveal hate. Likewise, the controversy surrounding Bud Light’s marketing strategy has resulted in the same consequences: conflict between two different groups with different political states. The constant blaming and hostility towards the different political groups have to come to an end. 2023/04/23 Share Jeongseo Park Works Cited > News Business Robinson Review Favorites A Review of Alternative Bottleless Water Ooho Dongha Kim Three Reasons Why the U.S. Shot Down the Chinese Spy Balloon Seunghyeon Lee How Truly Significant Is the Collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank on the U.S. Economy?

Weekdays, Month Day, Year 00 °c Log In RR X CI Workshop PFAS: A Seemingly Harmless Molecule That Poses Serious Risks Share Photo by Carl Tronders on Unsplash Share Chowon Park Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoralkyl Substances (PFAS), also recognized as the “forever chemicals” are ubiquitous. PFAS exists on carpets, raincoats, and most typically, Teflon frying pans. Such substances are also present in water and soil. The Abundance of PFAS PFAS molecule’s long body consists of fluorine and carbon, one of the strongest chemical bonds. As such, elements including water, oil, or rays cannot react with this PFAS because the molecule’s bond works like a jacket, protecting it from breaking. Even at school, there are PFAS molecules. Many schools reported that in the water fountain, which poses potential health risks. Furthermore, there are also some in school uniforms, just to make them “stain-resistant”. Risks Associated with PFAS Once scientists discovered the molecule’s unique properties, PFAS was mass-produced and widely applied where resistance to chemical interaction was desired. Yet, the prevalent use of PFAS yielded concerns. Researchers noted the risk of developing diabetes and various types of cancer increased as PFAS accumulated in the body. PFAS, unlike other substances including sodium, arsenic, and uranium, does not interact with the body’s molecules or cause harm through chemical reactions. There are two theories as to why PFAS is detrimental. First, PFAS has a similar molecular structure as fatty acids, which have hydrogen-carbon bonds instead of fluorine-carbon bonds. The carrier protein naturally grabs fatty acids while accidentally picking up these PFAS counterparts. Unlike fatty acids, PFAS molecules cannot function and protect the body. If increasingly greater numbers of fatty acids are replaced, the body will eventually malfunction, leading individuals to be affected by multiple diseases. Second, another theory is that PFAS molecules, when inside the body, may disrupt the genetically controlled receptors, nullifying the receptor’s role of regulating insulin production. Ways to Prevent Risks Associated with PFAS The existence of PFAS is inevitable, yet adopting certain lifestyle changes may help to minimize its harmful effects. PFAS is most commonly found in food packaging. In fact, multinational companies, like McDonald's, are reportedly removing PFAS from their food packaging supply chains, but this has yet to be definitively confirmed. As such, they are more mindful of the products consumers purchase and come in contact with. Opting for PFAS-free may be alternatives that contribute to minimizing health risks. Another way to avoid this chemical is to investigate one’s local water supplies and to take necessary action. In 2023, a variety of PFAS was detected in most tapwaters in the USA. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) made a standard to control it. However, the control was highly unobtainable, costing the agency billions of dollars. “Knowing your drinking water source is the most important,” said Lauren Zajac, who is a professor in environmental medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine. PFAS may appear to be harmless due to its chemical inertness, yet its ubiquity and degree of potential harm continue to affect individuals around the world. Nonetheless, it is possible to reduce exposure to PFAS through proactive measures. It is critical not to ignore the threats PFAS pose to both human health and nature.

Science Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In The Harmful Chemical Effects of Plastic Packaging on the Environment Science 0 Mankind’s inventions are often double-edged swords. Scientific advances and technological innovations make everyday activities faster, easier, or better. However, darkness often lies on the other side. Since the Industrial Revolution, many innovations aimed at increasing convenience have also disastrously destroyed the environment. However morose this may sound, this is also true of plastic packaging, something that is so widely and casually used that it is hardly recognized as a threat. Chemicals found in plastic packaging can be unimaginably harmful to the environment and the health of organisms - including humans - due to toxic metal additives, accumulative UV stabilizers, and production impurities. Metal additives that are used in plastic production can be highly toxic to organisms. Metal, including mercury, cobalt, or tin, is used in plastic as an additive to increase the stability of the material, add properties, or enhance reaction during the production process. Since metals such as cadmium, lead, and mercury are toxic, they are regulated as toxic metals in some countries. However, they are still poorly or completely unregulated in numerous countries. In fact, research conducted across several years shows that toxic metals were continuously found in packaging (Toxics in Packaging ClearingHouse). These toxins can cause organ damage or disorder and increase cancer rates, when consumed or inhaled. In natural environments, they can easily be a huge threat to the life of countless organisms as well as contaminate food chains. Another highly dangerous component of additives in plastic is its tendency to accumulate without disintegrating. UV stabilizers are used to prevent photo-degradation and increase the lifetime of plastic . Two of the commonly used stabilizers are PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which show high persistence and bioaccumulation as well as toxicity. High persistence is an enticing trait in plastic because it creates durable consumer goods. Yet, this also means that when plastic accumulates in the digestive organs of fish and birds, it will stay inside their bodies for a long time without disintegrating, causing system disruptions and disorders. The toxic and accumulative additives mentioned above are purposely included in plastic packaging to enhance its performance but production impurities can also lead to unexpected presences in plastic packaging. While it is impossible to control absolutely everything throughout the production process, there is one chemical that might catch the public’s attention. PAHs, or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, are naturally occurring chemicals in coal, crude oil, and gasoline (“Polycyclic…”). Therefore, they can also be naturally found in plastic materials, which are made from crude oil. They, too, have unsafe properties, being carcinogenic, toxic, or biotoxic. The dangers of such impurities must not be ignored, but rather considered as an additional factor of the environmental dangers of plastic packaging. The public is blind to so many of the things included in the plastic packaging that they use every day. Ingredients such as heavy metals and stabilizers, as well as uncontrolled impurities, contribute to the biotoxicity and strong tendency to accumulate in the materials. If not taken care of, these chemicals will leave irreparable scars on the health of the environment and ecosystems. 2023/02/05 Share Jian Lee Works Cited > News Science Robinson Review Favorites A Review of Alternative Bottleless Water Ooho Dongha Kim Three Reasons Why the U.S. Shot Down the Chinese Spy Balloon Seunghyeon Lee How Truly Significant Is the Collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank on the U.S. Economy?

Business November 22, 2023 at 3:57:54 PM 00 °c Log In Business Roles of Starlink and Elon Musk on the table of the Israel-Palestine conflict Business 2023/11/14 Share Seongyeol Choi With the recent outbreak of the Israel-Palestine conflict, the space exploration technology corporation owned by Elonmusk, SpaceX, has responded by showing interest in providing Starlink internet service to the city of Gaza. Starlink internet service is a satellite network operated by SpaceX itself. On 28th October 2023, Elon Musk announced on the social media platform X that Starlink would support and provide to the “internationally recognized aid organizations in Gaza.” During the interview, he stated that he was somewhat globally pressured to help Gaza. Back in 2022, Elon Musk sent Starlink to Ukraine after receiving funds from the U.S. defense Military. However, Elon Musk’s intention seems to have left optimistic expectations; it is almost understood that Musk’s play was all for marketing his Starlink network. While Elon Musk, with his continuous interest in support, other professionals from all over the globe have stated that distribution of Starlink would be challenging. Since the Starlink network requires a satellite receiver to operate, transporting the receiver into the land of Gaza is nearly impossible. Thus, many analysts asserted that Elon Musk is speaking up for spreading the name of his own products. In addition, these actions from numerous companies show how they actually produce positive ripples to companies’ reputations. Elon Musk’s effect on the company clearly outlines the benefits SpaceX can acquire. Alongside Elon Musk’s intention to support Gaza, he has left SpaceX with positive gains. Elon Musk has shown support to nations in severe conflict for two consecutive years. Even though his intention might not successfully reach its goal like the one he withheld during the Ukrainian war, it is doubtful that no harm will degrade SpaceX Musk’s post. Not only has Elon Musk’s reputation benefited from his actions, but SpaceX also used this opportunity to spread the name of Starlink to those focusing on the issue of the globe.

Business Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In Works Cited > News Share Hyunseo Kim 2023/04/16 0 Twitter was accused of “outrageous” deficiencies in regarding cyber security and personal data. It was first revealed by a whistleblower Peiter Zatko, an ex-executive of Twitter and head of security. His alleged security problems of Twitter included too many of Twitter’s staff having access to central controls, twitter's executives covering up serious vulnerabilities to the public, and not monitoring bots on the platform. Another potential problem was that there could be one or more employees at the moment who may be working for a foreign intelligence service. This sheds light on the potentially very harmful social media industry. The multi-billion dollar industry seems to have prevailing personal data protocols. It is widely known that Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter do not properly delete user data even when an account has been deleted. These actions have eventually led to boycotts or criticism against social media giants, and monitoring the current situation to see Twitter's subsequent actions is necessary.

Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In Works Cited > News Share Joonseo Choi 10/31/2025 0 On the 11th of September, 2025, President Trump signed a memorandum ordering a National Guard Deployment to Memphis, Tennessee to combat crime. President Trump has described this act as a replica to his federal crackdown in Washington, D.C., whilst some described it as a test of the limits of presidential power. Regardless, this act has been met with a considerable amount of backlash and controversy, and has raised questions regarding the balance of power between state and federal governments in the U.S. This is not the first time that such question has been raised. Historically, there have been contests of power between the state and federal governments. The U.S. Constitution guarantees that states have certain reserved powers and autonomy, however, it is vague when it comes to legal clarity regarding “who controls what”. Because of this, since the 1930s, there had been increasing federal intervention, especially in domestic policy areas. Although there have always been tensions regarding domestic policies, there have been little to no events where tensions have escalated to this degree due to security issues. In other words, because of matters regarding the use of violence. This is not the first time President Trump has been criticised for raising state-federal tensions. June, earlier this year, he deployed roughly 4,000 members of the National Guard along with 700 marines to Los Angeles to suppress protests, which not only largely escalated tensions between California and D.C., but also raised concerns regarding the amount of power checks on the President and the federal executive. President Trump has been known for suppressing critics of his administration, and his use of the National Guard and U.S. military further demonstrates his desire to create a more centralised and “regime-loyal” United States. This event, along with other cases in which Trump has employed violent crackdowns, raises questions on the extent to which local state governments can protect people’s civil liberties from the federal government. The United States, like any other modern liberal democracy, follows the following principles: rule of law, where no one, even the head of state, is above the law, and the principle of freedom of speech and expression. The U.S. President has been heavily criticised both from within and outside the U.S. for disregarding these principles, as well as the U.S. Constitution. President Trump’s use of force has shown the limitations of power checks on the federal government and how vulnerable individual states can be against the federal government. In a sense, he has redefined state-federal relations by ‘going beyond’ and interfering with areas that previous presidents did not dare to touch, and by demonstrating what the federal government is truly capable of regarding state matters. As these concerns are raised, concerns regarding President Trump’s second term are also on the rise.

Business Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In Business Consequences of Fast Fashion - The “Fair Price” of Handmade Items Business 11/30/2023 Share Yeounseo Kim Quick and Cheap Fast Fashion is a term referring to the trend of fashion industries, where the hottest trend changes rapidly, and items are used less frequently before they are considered out-of-trend. Notable characteristics of fast fashion are that they are oftentimes cheap and suggest a wide variety of new products in a short period of time. What makes it so cheap? People often focus on the cheapness of fast fashion products, but its cruel downsides are not so explicit. Fast fashion businesses consider these factors: rapid change in fashion trend, high demand for new products, and countless target markets that will increase their profit. This means that the business should produce new items on a big scale, and cut costs at the same time. Unfortunately, to do so, most big fast fashion businesses choose to use human labor in other poor countries where jobs are scarce and expected wage is low, often exploiting human rights and placing their workers in unethical, hazardous workplaces. Despite such cruelty, businesses won’t stop using and exploiting human labor, because it helps them cut their prices, and customers won’t care, because prices are low. “I can buy this in Shein for $2!” Amongst small business owners operating on Instagram, the quote “I can buy this in Shein for $2” is indeed infamous. Shein is also a fast fashion brand, where they sell tens of hundreds of new items every month at ridiculously low prices. Like what mentioned before, such low pricing is available due to their exploitation of human labor and mass-production. While ethical issues surrounding such fast fashion brands are well recognized, the harm and even hatred that small business owners receive, especially those who sell handmade items, are not spotlighted. Handmade items often require hours of patient and delicate work to finish a product, and it is rightful for the owners of handmade small businesses to sell their items at an appropriate price. This appropriate price should include costs for material, labor, marketing, CS, and many other factors that the business owners manage. Sadly, most handmade items are now replicable due to advancement in technology and machinery, resulting in big corporations producing the same item through machines that cut costs and effort, and enabling such businesses to sell the product in low prices. Now, let’s consider the two very similar products, one made by hand and one mass-produced by a machine. Consequently, the price for machine-made items will be cheaper. What’s bad about this is that it makes customers compare the prices of similar items, without considering the time and effort taken to accomplish a product. This may lead to disputes between small business owners and customers, potentially causing conflicts that may threaten the business’ existence in the market.

Business Tuesday, December 23, 2025 00 °c Log In Business How the boycott affected Businesses supporting Israel Business 01/24/2024 Share Jiyu Sohn The Israli-Palestinian conflict, a protracted and deeply rooted conflict, continues to persist until now. Recently, there has been an ongoing genocidal military campaign against Gaza from Israel, resulting in the death of countless innocent civilians of Palestine. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, between the 7th of October 2023 to now, over twenty three thousands of Palestinians have lost their lives. In respond to this detrimental and alarming situation, there has been a global movement, calling for the boycott of businesses that are profiting from the genocide of the Plaestinian people. This economic boycott of Israel mainly aims to pressurize Israel to adhere to the international laws, and to appease private company's participation in such crimes. The movement to boycott Businesses supporting Israel is mainly derived from the BDS National Committee (BNC) leading the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. This movement aims to hold businesses accountable for their contributions to the Israeli government, whose tax revenues are implicated to maintain the oppression of palestinians. These boycotts seek to disrupt the financial supporters of Israel, as the underlying purpose is that such economic measures will help mitigate Israel’s deleterious actions. Israel is seen to be especially susceptible to these boycotts, as they heavily rely on international trades, leading these initiatives to be potentially impactful in fostering changes to the Palestinian cause. One of the major businesses affected by the repercussions of the boycott is McDonald’s, facing significant financial setbacks across a number of markets in the Middle East. For instance, in Malaysia, a local branch of McDonalds is in the process of pursuing legal actions against a national boycott movement for $1.3 million loss of their profit, claiming that the accusations held against them are “false and defamatory.” In response to the circumstances they faced, Chis Kempczinski, McDonald’s CEO, expressed that “Our hearts remain with the communities and families impacted by the war in the Middle East” The Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains as a deeply entrenched issue, marked by a recent movement advocating for the economic boycott of businesses profiting from this crisis. These movements are imposing destructive impacts against many large businesses such as McDonalds.
