"WORKING AT MCCDONALD'S"
The author of “Working at McDonald's”, Amitai Etzioni, believes that working at McDonald's as a teen-ager is “bad”. Etzioni uses studies he has researched to support his position. In paragraph 2 he starts off with a statistic about teen-agers who hold part-time jobs and where McDonalds stands on the list of fast food job holders. Etzioni also uses examples of jobs that teen-agers pursue. Lastly, among many other studies that Etzioni researched, the study in “1980 by A.V. Harrell and P.W. Wirtz” helps support one of his reasons to his position. This study shows the rate at which high school students holding part-time jobs drop out of school because they are “gobbled up in the world of low-skill jobs” (para. 10). Overall, Amitai Etzioni wrote a very good essay about the working teen-agers at McDonald's and helped his intended audience, parents, to think hard about making their children work through-out high school.

Very good response to the questions posed.
Do you believe it matters the age of the resources Etzioni used to back up his claims?
I think that the age's he used were perfect for his claims. They related to his topic sentences.
It’s exhausting to find educated folks on this subject, however you sound like you understand what you’re talking about! Thanks casino play
