Bertrand's ACE Debate

Just because Burger Kings fries are healthier now doesn't mean everything there is better and healthier. An example is that McDonald's small strawberry banana smoothie may also have the little amount of 10 extra calories but they also have more protein then Burger King does.

Although Burger Kings bacon burger may be healthier other things on the menu aren't this way. For example in a cheese burger from McDonald's it may have 10 more calories, but that not even very much. Also McDonald's only had 110 calories from fat while Burger King has more, and McDonald's cheese burger also contains 30 mg less sodium.

Another reason why I think McDonald's is better than Burger King is because while McDonald's does have a dollar menu Burger King doesn't. Meaning that at McDonald's you can get more for your money, unlike Burger King.

Burger Kings "value" size is the same as McDonald's "small". So why would anyone want to pay for a "value" sized meal but get the same amount as you could a "small" somewhere else? Obviously people would want the same amount for the lower price. Information from: www.fastfoodmarketing.ord/media/FastFoodFACTS-PortionSizes.pdf

I agree because even Ayoub, after ten years of working in civil rights, has never seen such a egregious case of stereotyping. ¨There supposed to be teaching kids respect to other cultures.¨ Ayoub states.

Yet some mascots have changed to not offend people and even if they are a tradition I believe cultural mascots are disrespectful. Even Barack Obama was wary on the subject stating he would "think about changing" the Redskins name if he were to own the team. I think this applies to all cultural mascots teams.

I disagree, I think cultural mascots are very racist. Coachella Valley High School's mascot is "Basically and angry 'Arab' head- honk nose, long beard, head scarf and all." Said Abed Ayoub, a legal policy director. Ayoub has insisted that the schools mascot and any other "offensive" imagery are examples of Orientalism.

This may be true, that it will cost a high amount of money. Yet, I don't think that really is a big deal. For example, The Red Skins should be able to pay for it because they are a popular team. I think that they should pay for it and change the name. As Ray Halbritter, the current Nation Representative and CEO of Oneida Nation Enterprises, said in a ad "We do not deserved to be called redskins. We deserve to be treated as what we are- Americans."

Cultural mascots promote stereotypes. Some opponents of cultural teams show American Indian culture in a cartoon driven way. "American Indian mascots and logos promote negative stereotypes." Says Barbra Munson, a member of Oneida Tribe of Indians in Wisconsin.

I agree with this statement because the cheerleader dressed in all of the clothing, mocking the American Indians, had no idea that every feather on the top of her headdress would be representing a warrior that died in battle.
