“Is ‘The Wave’ experiment a success?
Was “The Wave” experiment a success? I would say yes to this question because Ben Ross wants to show his students how Hitler controlled Germany without anybody stopping him, Hitler did this by saying, through discipline, we can have anything. In the text it says, “It looked like just another typical day in history class until the kids notices that their teacher had written in large letters across the blackboard: STRENGTH THROUGH DISCIPLINE.” What this quote means is that the Nazi’s overpowered with strength through discipline, and so did Ben Ross’ history class
Another example of that the wave is a successThe McDonald's Corporation is the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants, serving around 68 million customers daily in 119 countries.[4][5] Headquartered in the United States, the company began in 1940 as a barbecue restaurant operated by Richard and Maurice McDonald; in 1948 they reorganized their business as a hamburger stand using production line principles. Businessman Ray Kroc joined the company as a franchise agent in 1955. He subsequently purchased the chain from the McDonald brothers and oversaw its worldwide growth.[6]
A McDonald's restaurant is operated by either a franchisee, an affiliate, or the corporation itself. McDonald's Corporation revenues come from the rent, royalties, and fees paid by the franchisees, as well as sales in company-operated restaurants. In 2012, McDonald's Corporation had annual revenues of $27.5 billion, and profits of $5.5 billion.[7]
McDonald's primarily sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken, french fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, milkshakes, and desserts. In response to changing consumer tastes, the company has expanded its menu to include salads, fish, wraps, smoothies, and fruit.[8]
