P.F. Chang's

Yes P.F. Chang's did the right thing by giving out the free vacinces. The trade off was that they got the free vacinces but they got hepatitis. People were concerned because they believe they might have gotten it from that 1 worker.

I think that P.F. Changs did do the ethical thing by giving out free vaccines. The trade-off for the victims were that they got a free vaccine, but they might not have even had hepatitis. People were so concerned about it because the disease is very dangerous.

I think P.F. Chang's did the right thing. The trade off was to pervent hepatitis,they had to get a shot.They are so concerned because they didnt want to recive it because it could hurt there liver.

A) Yes, P.F Changs did the ethical thing providing free vaccines for the people that ate at the restaurant, they stepped up to the plate and they knew that one of their employees had hepatitis after getting tested and paid for all of the customers that went to the restaurant, for their vaccine. The trade-offs for the victims is that thought they had eaten at P.F Changs and could have possibly had hepatitis and got the vaccines paid for them by the restaurant. The people were so concerned because they had thought that they had hepatitis because a employee that worked for P.F Changes had hepatitis, and they had thought that had it.

Yes, the P.F. Chang’s did the ethical thing. The trade-offs for the victims is that they may not of hepatitis A but they got a shot just in case. Another one is that they got there vaccination but they had to wait a while to get it.

P.F. CHANG'S

Yes they did do the ethical thing to keep in business by paying for free hepatitis A vaccines.
The trade-offs for the victims are if they ate at PF Chang's then they will have hepatitis A. People were so concerned because they were scared that they would have hepatitis A, so they wanted a vaccine.

I think the video was interseting. I thought they did the right thing because if they didn't they would have got sued. Bad: Might get heptitis A. Good: Get's 2 shots. They were concerned because they might have hepitisis A.

Brooke S. said...

Yes, I think that P.F Changs did the right, or ethical thing to give the people free vaccines. The trade-offs for the victums were that while they ate their food and had a good meal, they thought or had a good chance of getting hepatitus A. The poeple were concerned that they could be getting Hepatitus A when they ate the food at P.F Changs.

Rodney. said...

Did P.F. Chang's do the Ethical thing? Yes, they did the ethical instead of not telling the customers the worker had hypetites A.
What were the trade-offs for the victims?Cause they ate a P.F. Chang's than the customers have a chance of getting Hypetites A.
Why were people so concerned? Hypetites A ruines your liver.
I liked the video but i would not want to be in their postion.

Keith S said...

I think is is very weird how one worker can do that. Yes thay did the right thing because they never would have any more customers and they hurt all those people with hepatitis A. Also they were concerend because the might of had hepatitis A if they didnt get the vacine.

Amanda K. said...

I think I would be mad about maybe getting the disease and I wouldn't eat there again. P.F. Chang did do the ethical thing because he told the people about the hepatitis. The trade-off for the victims was they got their vacancies for hepatitis A but they had to wait a long time. People were concerned to see if they got it or not.

I like the video and don’t want to eat at P.F Chang’s ever. P.F Chang’s did the ethical because they spent a lot of money to give the people a vaccine. The trade offs of the victims was they got the free vaccine. They were concerned because you can get hepatitis A though drinking water or other liquids and food so they all had a very high chance of getting it

A)I think that what happened was so gross and I wouldn’t go back to p.f. changes. I think that P.F. did the right thing by giving the costumers a free vacine. The trade off is that they got the free vacinces but they had to wait to get it. People were concerned because one of the workers got hepatitis A.

P.F Changs Katie Koch core B
Yes, I do think they did the ethical thing, because they owned up to what happened and admitted to what happened. The trade offs were that they ate at the restaurant, the restaurant paid for the treatments to help the victims. People were concerned because hepatitis A is spread by food and drink, and the person who had the illness was touching their food.

1. I thought that this video was crazy how 1 person can give over 400 people Hepatitis A, just by being around food.

2. They did the right thing by giving them the shot’s for free; the bad thing is that they had to wait a long time to get it. And they should have not let the person who gave it to them. They should have tested everyone for it, when the first person got it.

3. They had to wait a long time to get the shot, so they could spread to other people.

4. People were concerned about having it or not.

1. I think the guy who had Hepatitis A should have told the other workers and not came to work until he got better.
2. I think P.F Chang’s did the ethical thing because if they didn’t do that they would have gotten sued a lot and no one would ever eat there again.
3. The trade offs for the victims were that they had to wait hours to get the vaccination but the good thing was that they got vaccinated for free so they were safe and healthy.
4. They were concerned because it causes flu-like symptoms like fatigue, appetite loss, fever, nausea and vomiting.

1. I am doing the heart. The heart pumps blood though the whole body.
2. The structure of the heart is a muscle.
3. The heart is a muscular cone shaped organ about the size of a clenched fist of the same person.
It is located in the upper body (chest area) between the lungs, and with its pointed end (called the apex) downwards, forwards, and pointing towards the left.
The main purpose of the heart is to pump blood around the body.
4. The heart belongs to the circulatory system. The circulatory system is made up of the vessels and the muscles that help and control the flow of the blood around the body. This process is called circulation. The main parts of the system are the heart, arteries, capillaries and veins.
5. If your heart becomes damaged you could be in serious danger. If the blood can’t be pumped though the body then your body will shut down and your will die.

1. The bladder is the organ that collects urine excreted by the kidneys before disposal by urination. A hollow, muscular, and distensible organ, the bladder sits on the pelvic floor.
2. The bladder is attached to the stomah and when you drink something it goes down to your stomach and out your bladder.

3. The bladder is like a little pouch that holds urine. It's function is to retain the urine of the body until it can be released to the urethra and out of the body.

4.The bladder is a part of the urinary system. This system's function is to filter out excess fluid and other substances.

5. You could get a bladder infection, which you need to go and get medicine for. Or maybe evn have cancer. & sometime's your nerve's will send your urine to release at the wrong time.

1. Bladder- Hallow, balloon-like organ that is used as a pouch for the urine.

2. The nerves assist the bladders function.
3. The bladder helps your body hold your urine inside of you. It is hallow and ballon-like. The nerves tell the body what to do and when to do it.
4. The genitourinary system is what the bladder belongs to. The genitourinary system has the hormone production and regulation production. It filters and excreting wastes.

5. The bladder getting damaged can cause the nerves to get all messed up also it will cause an overactive bladder.

1.The organ that I picked to study is the lungs. The lungs’ main function is to help you breathe so you can live and survive. The lungs also play a role in the acidity of the blood.
2.The lungs are organs in the respiratory system. Both the left and the right part of the lungs are cone shaped and they sit on either side of your heart.
3.The function of the Lungs is with each breath we take, the lungs take in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. The air we breathe enters the lungs which goes into two main tubes supplying the right and left lung. The area of the lungs is huge . It’s larger than the surface of a person's skin. The lungs are also important in the body's defense against infection and other harmful things.
4.The lungs belong to the respiratory system because breathing couldn't happen without the respiratory system which is the nose, throat, voice box, windpipe, and lungs. With each breath, you take in air through your nostrils and mouth and your lungs fill up and empty out.
5.Some health problems you can get from having damaged lungs are you can get Lung diseases like Asthma which is when your airways are inflamed (closed) and it can cause wheezing or shortness of breath. Another disease is Lung Cancer which is has many forms and can develop in any part of your lungs. Most often this is in the main part of the lung in or near the air sacs. One last one is bronchitis which is caused from a lot of coughing.
