Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics. As it happens, Feldman’s accidental study provides a window on

to a form of cheating that has long stymied academics: white-collar crime. (Yes, shorting the bagel man is white-collar crime, writ however small.) It might seem ludicrous to address as large and intractable a problem as white-collar crime through the life of a bagel man. But often a small and simple question can help chisel away at the biggest problems. Despite all the attention paid to rogue companies like Enron, academics know very little about the practicalities of white-collar crime. The reason? There are no good data. A key fact of white-collar crime is that we hear about only the very slim fraction of people who are caught cheating. Most embezzlers lead quiet and theoretically happy lives; employees who steal company property are rarely detected. What purpose does the “bagel man” serve in this argument? to shift the focus toward a specific man to entertain the reader with a funny story to show the seriousness of cheating to shed light on white-collar crime

What might Schlosser want people to do after reading this<br> selection?
alexandr1967 [171]

Explanation:

I could not find the selection that is missing in your question but I assume that you are talking about Eric Schlosser. He is most famous for his investigative journalism. He wrote ''Fast Food Nation'' and I think that you are talking about it because it is his most famous work.

  • In ''Fast Food Nation'' he is trying to inform people about the food they are eating at the fast-food restaurants and about what is prepared for them. The main idea of his work was to show everyone what the food production and preparation in America actually is and how commercialism and consumerism are having an effect on us and our children.
  • He surely wanted people to eat healthier and to be aware of the fast-food restaurant and how bad that kind of food can be for us.
  • But since the question is what he 'might' wanted I think that it is considering our\my own opinion and I think that he also might want people to begin avoiding meat. I think that because he was talking a lot about meat preparation and also later in the movie ''Chew on this'', an adaptation of ''Fast Food Nation'', he is talking about the ways chickens die and how the meat is packed and more.

The author researched the Great Depression.<br> sentence fragment<br> complete sentence
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Complete sentence.

Explanation:

A sentence fragment is a clause or a group of words that are part of a sentence but do not form or make a complete sentence. They can be best identified by the structure or composition of the sentence, as it will miss either a subject, a verb or an object, or a complete thought. Even if it contains both a subject and a verb, it can sometimes be a sentence fragment.

The given sentence "the author researched the Great Depression" is a complete sentence as it has all the necessary elements of a complete sentence.

lesya [120]

Not sure exactly what you are asking for, but when you refuse permission, an appropriate response would be:

"I do not wish for my child to participate in today's events as I do not feel it will benefit his learning."

A good response to give permission:

"I give permission for my child to participate in today's events."
