Writing a memo for Wally World

Wally World is a famous resort with an international reputation for family oriented attractions and

entertainment. Their corporate ventures range from film and television shows to amusement parks and

commercial stores. Recent announcements for corporate expansion include plans to build a new (and

largest to date) amusement park in the nation of Gonkgnoh.

Because Wally World resorts are a favorite wedding venue, careful consideration must be given to the

spaces and menu offerings to be made available. It is a long standing wedding tradition dating back

thousands of years in Gonkgnoh to serve a soup made from the organs of a unique species of mountain

yak. This tradition stems from the belief that consumption of this soup will bring luck to the newly wedded

couple and ensure blessing in building a family. Wally World must decide whether they will offer yak soup

at their new Gonkgnoh theme park.

The yak is currently endangered and environmentalists are concerned about the impact that harvesting

might have on the remaining population due to their slow reproduction rate. This species of yak cannot be

farmed due to dietary demands and their preferred high elevation.

You are the media relations manager for Wally World and it is your job to write an internal memorandum to

the CEO advising him of the position that you think Wally World should take on this issue bearing in mind

the cultural importance of serving the soup, the environmental impacts of harvesting the yak, ethical and

moral considerations, and important issues you think should be raised in a press release that will

announce the corporate decision to the public.
