Exploitation in the Fast Food Industry

 The exploitation in the fast food industry is much obscured. Vulnerability is usually the key factor when it comes to exploitation. The two sub factors of exploitation is one, vulnerable children, and two, the workers who are usually desperate for work. Children are usually exploited because they aren’t fully developed to understand what they want in life. Ray and Walt use cartoon characters, catchy jingles and give the ideal view of happiness in their publically domain broadcasted media. All of which a kid has a hard time turning down. These workers are usually “materialized” as Schlosser explains the desperate, the elderly and the young. These are easy targets for fast food industries because the elderly are really unlikely to be hired another agency. The desperate that are economically displaced in society and are eager for a job. Then the young adults who are usually in the last years of high school and early years of college who are universally stuck in the materialized society, especially the high school students. The early college students are usually indebt with books, transportation and tuition. These factors are the light and benefital for fast food companies because these people are willing to work in these conditions because they are socially displaced.
