UNIT 8 The Star of Starbucks
Background
Howard Schultz
Howard Schultz is an American
businessman and entrepreneur most
widely known as chief global strategist and
chairman of Starbucks.
Background
Starbucks
Starbucks is the world’s largest
multinational chain of coffee shops.
Its coffee shops in the U.S. and
Canada are especially popular
among students and young urban
professionals. Stores are now
found in China and the United
Kingdom, as well as other
countries.
Background
Moby Dick
An 1851 novel by Herman Melville. It describes
the ill-fated voyage of the whaling ship Pequod
to find and destroy the eponymous white whale,
driven by the obsessive Captain Ahab. The
language is highly symbolic and many themes
run throughout the work. Although the book
initially received mostly negative reviews, MobyDick is now considered to be one of the greatest
novels in the English language.
Background
American Dream
The American Dream is a belief that in the
United States of America, hard work and
determination can lead to a better life,
usually through the earning of money. The
American Dream, however, has been
criticized for its emphasis on material
possessions as a way of finding happiness.
