Background and Issues This case was about an ethical situation that George Stein, a summer intern at Eastern Dairy, faced at one of the nigh shifts he participated in. George was raised in a middle class family in which living expenses were not the primary concerns for all. Instead, George showed greater interests in gathering with friends, especially his girlfriend Cathy, rather than working hard in school. In order to have extra money for dating, he spent every summer in working part time in the local community. At the time when the case happened, George was working at Eastern Dairy, a local ice cream mix company serving the metropolitan area. While George’s shift had no on-site manger to supervised, he and his teammates usually sought advices from one member of the team, Paul. George was responsible to remove containers of mix as they came down the line and stacked them in the appropriate places. The case started to surface when George noticed that some milkshake mix began to spew out of one of the …show more content…
The first approach was obviously attracting. As Paul’s opinion, since all products would go through the pasteurization process eventually, no further bacterial was expected in the output. Without concerns of public health, doing so not only save 500 gallons of remaining mix, which were significant loss to the company, but also allowing them to finish the shift on schedule and leave. Since there was no manager on site, this could be tempting to George as it was terrified for him to take on the responsibility of wasting so much of the company’s produces as a part-time intern. He needed the job to save for his wedding with Cathy. Moreover, being one of the only six employees at night shift, following Paul’s suggestion not only allowed them to leave on time but also avoided to be complained by co-workers for any extra

Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Holding Inc., commonly known just as Ben & Jerry’s, produces ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet. Founded in Burlington, Vermont in 1978, the company is a subunit of the Unilever mega-company. Founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield created the company after completing an ice cream making course at Pennsylvania State University’s Creamery. In May of 1978, with a small investment totaling a little over ten grand, the two business partners opened an ice cream store in Virginia. Two years later, the two took their talents and started packing their ice cream into pints. In 1981, the company became a franchise, opening their second store in Shelburne, Virginia. Today, Ben and Jerry’s locations have expanded across the globe.
George, like all other men, see women as exchangeable objects that satisfy certain needs with the exchange of money. Women were either seen as this type of stereotype or as nothing more than a stay home wife. This is shows how so call “men” can be seen as cowards because they think they have all the power in the world. “George said,’She’s gonna make a mess. They’s gonna be a bad mess about her. She’s a jail bait all set on the trigger. That Curley got his work cut out for him. Ranch with a bunch of guys on it wint no place for a girl, specially like her’” (Steinbeck 93). George is setting an example of how women are seen as weak and have no mean to be in a man's work place. Curley’s wife soon becomes like an animal in Lennie’s hands, for women were considered as
F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is a superbly written and an intrinsically captivating novel that deals with the decline of the American Dream and how vapid the upper class is. To illustrate and capture the essence of these themes, Fitzgerald uses characters Gatsby, who epitomizes the actual American Dream, and Daisy, who is based on the ideal girl. Yet, as these characters grasp the topics Fitzgerald wants to convey, there is something inherently like missing from the story as a whole. To fill this void, Fitzgerald utilizes minor characters as a means to move the plot along, develop characters further, and build upon the themes present in the novel. One such character is George Wilson.
Eventually George would escape from the people who capture him, and join his brother again as they would be guided by there owners. As being a black slave, they never adopted the last name from there parents. Only after the end of the Civil War, both James and George picked Carver to be their last name. George would stay with his owner’s that took care of him, and he would help out with the chores to show his appreciation. He became very fond of plants and at a early age George would plant and maintain the garden on the farm. He became so good at planting and gardening, his owner’s would give him the name “The Plant Doctor.” The Carver’s taught George many of the basic things that every child should know at the ealy age. George learned how to read and write with no problems. Many people thought and knew that George had an excellent future ahead of himself due to the fact that he has a quick ability to pick up on new traits that he learns.
Lennie and George’s companionship meet and transcend all the needed requirements. They are a textbook example of loyal friends. They, together, are like peanut butter and jelly in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Lennie gives George someone to talk to and someone to keep him on track. George gives Lennie insight on the world and someone that will respect him even though he isn’t intelligent. They, more importantly, give each other something to live for. If George wouldn’t have met Lennie he would be a drunk in a whorehouse dying of cirrhosis. If Lennie didn’t meet George he would of died soon after his aunt did, because he would either have got himself in a bind with no one to help him or he would of simply wondered off and died of loneliness.
George’s relationship with Lennie has made him selfless; his conversations, with and with out Lennie, are generally revolving around Lennie, although in the case of their dream-ranch George seems to find fulfilment for himself as well. Due to these altruistic tendencies that he shows throughout the novel, a danger is bestowed upon George; he tends to care for Lennie far too much, and too little for himself. In occasional moments, he escapes his sympathy and compassion for Lennie, and realises the burden that he causes. This usually results in George taking his frustration out on Lennie, which can often harm his simple mind, leaving Lennie upset and forced to confess to his own uselessness, and George feeling guilty for what he has caused. We can learn very little about George through his actual conversations, which made it necessary for Steinbeck to focus the novel on him in particular, and let the reader gain an closer insight on him through his actions. Generally, he seems to be caring, intelligent and sensible, but is greatly worn by the constant attention Lennie requires. This illustrates a major theme in Of Mice and Men, the dangers that arise when one becomes involved in a dedicated relationship.
In the short story "weekend" by Ann Beattie, there is one main central conflict between the main characters of Lenore and George. This conflict arises from that fact that George and Lenore have a child together, live in the same house, yet they have no apparent relationship. George is always bringing back women to the house in front of Lenore and she hides how it hurts her deep down. George’s character is portrayed as an alcoholic older man who does not seem to care too much about anything that is going on around him. While Lenore is shown to be a “simple” woman who just lets George walk all over her by showing up with younger girls and who rarely shows emotion. Although Lenore is not as simple as she leads on to George, she has a lot of emotion buried inside of her that she does not always show, and her character is a lot more complex after a second glance.
He’s a smart, small man that works well and could possibly find a lady to settle down with. George still tho chooses to stay with Lennie, Lennie is also really hard to take care of as George says, “I could get along so easy and nice without you on my tail.” (Pg7) George knows tho that without Lennie he’d get lonely. He knows that without anybody his life would be even harder. George says “I want you to stay with me lennie.” (Pg 13) That proves to us that George needs lennie. George knows as a migrant worker companions are hard to get. Even know George has Lennie he still finds himself lonely. As the quote at the beginning of my essay says you need an intimate relationship too to not be lonely. That's what George is missing in his life. He doesn't have a girl to be with which makes him depressed, and lonely. Lennie also gets in the way of him getting a girl but george needs Lennie. George knows that it's better to stay with lennie
Though George is a social and a smart migrant worker, he is still a very lonely guy who only has Lennie to rely on. George says, ”If i was alone, I could live so easy.” (p11) He says he would get along so well without him because he wouldn’t have to keep Lennie out of trouble all the time and he could keep a job. He also says, “Lennie, I want you to stay with me.” (p13) That states that

Altogether George had no more...
