McDonald's filps golden arch

         This happened on Thursday march 8th in Lynwood california. In the U.S 6/10 restaurant owners are women and it's only fair to show them support.The famous fast food chain Is turning their arches  upside down in honor of national women's day. The special day has been around for awhile. The first celabration of a women's day was held in New York City in 1909. The move was intended to honor the extraordinary accomplishments of women everywhere. About 100 restaurants across the country plan to participate in the gesture, and customers will also see the flipped logo on packaging and crew member’s hats and shirts. By Thursday, all of McDonald’s social media profiles, including Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, were filled with images of the upside down golden arch. 

1. Do you think this is bad or good publicity and why?

I feel it is good publicity because it will bring in more coustomers and female employees. I don't think this will promote healthy eating habits though. It's just nice to see the support and it would be cool if other restaurants did this.

2. Do you view this day as important? Why or why not?

I feel that this day is very important but not many people know about it. I think this was a perfect way to bring the celabration to light. It is important because not all women know that they are appreciated and to have a day for that is very nice.

  • Good job overall but all of your comments were done on one day. Be sure to comment three different days.

  • I think its a cool idea but I don't think they need to go that extreme. It just kind of makes women look favored over men and the whole equality thing is being broken. I do think that National Womens Day is important and I am wondering why we don't celebrate national mens day too. 

  • I think it is good publicity because many women would be in favor of this. It symbolyzes womens strength and represents women all together. I think this day is important although it is very unknown about. 

  • I think this could be good publicity because it might bring in more customers, it is just good to see the support from this restaurant. I do think this day is important because it celebrates everything that women have done in the past and it makes women feel a little more important. 

  • I think it could be good publicity because its showing that they respect women anywhere i dont really know how much more they could make from doing this but. I think this day is really important it celebrates how far women have come and all there accomplishments because they had to go throw all the struggles that men didn't.

  • It good be a good idea because then it may bring more people to come there and even people to work there. It is important but there are alot of people that do not know about it and they need to know.

  • I think that this is good publicity because it makes McDonald's look better about how they treat their customers and employees. I think that this will draw women's attention in a good way which will happen worldwide. I'm not sure what my opinion is about National Women's Day because I don't think there should be a need to celebrate it. Everyday should be a celebration of the strength people have, not just women and not just men, but everyone. It is a great way for women to feel empowered and important thought, so that part of it makes sense.

  • I think this is good publicity. Many people will love this, and it is a good image that McDonalds is creating, many people will support it and then more customers will visit the restaurant. The day is important to many people, I think that other holidays are more important.

  • I think this is good publicity. Many people will see this as a very good image for McDonalds and give more support to their restaurant. In my opinion, there will only be a handful of people that do not support this and avoid eating at McDonalds. 

    This day is important to many people, but I don't think it is as important as other holidays are. 

  • I feel like it would bring a lot more people and give jobs to women that need them. I do not think that it is really healthy. It would be cool if others did this and just good to see the support. Yes I do because some women feel like they do not get appreciated.
