         My top three blog entries for the semester would be Blog 1 “Hype”; Blog 6 “The Truman Show” and Blog8 “Red pill or Blue pill: Is Ignorance Bliss” the reason being for me to have choosing these blogs as my top 3 because I believe that they were my strongest blogs. I feel as though I put much more thought into them, also I enjoyed these blogs the most. In blog1 “Hype” it help me to see what was my weakest point in writing and what I need to improve in, such as sentence boundaries, my grammar and putting the period and common in the right places. Blog 6 “The Truman Show” inspires me to be thankful for the life that I have and to be happy that my life is not planned out for me, unlike the protagonist Truman, who life was planned out for him since he was in his mother stomach. Besides that it helps me to realize that everyone goes through obstacle and life changing moment, but that is what life is all about. In blog 8 “Red pill or Blue pill: Is Ignorance Bliss” helps me to learn that freedom is not mandatory, it’s a choice either you like the idea of people controlling your life or you rather be able to control your own life and learn from your mistake.

       Overall I think all of my blogs were my top, because I was able to learn from my mistake in writing and to improve in aspect of certain lack of ability, to be a better writer. Writing online was more fun than any other writing experience, because I despise writing papers with pen or pencil, I’m more of a typing person and also I am able to fix my mistake on the computer. I felt as though writing online was a shared experience because it helped me to look at my fellow classmate work, to see how to start off, or their point on a situation. I often looked at their blogs, so that I can get an idea on how to start my own. I never really thought that others were looking at my blogs, like I was looking at there’s, it probable was a possible they were to do exactly what I was doing to their blogs.

        The lesson that I would take when leaving this class is to read something two-three times, so that I can truly understand what I’m reading and to always annotating when reading a passage it really helps. The thing that I would of like to of came across more in class, was the CAT, I would of wished we would of got to take more of the practice test. And spend more time with it than doing the blogs, even though the blogs did help out.  I feel as although, my writing skill was on an 8^th grade level now it has improved drastically. I still need lots of work so that it can be a college level. I feel as nonetheless I’m leaving this class, with somewhat of a basic understanding of writing strategies. My most memorable moment in this class was discovering, why I was in the class and how it really helped me out, from when I first started it. I recommend any student to take this class, and to let them know that it’s not easy, but it will help you improve your writing skills.

               In the film "The Story of Stuff" Annie Leonard argues that the people living in countries with resources do not have value because they don't own the resources, even if they've been living there for generation. The person that is responsible for this reality is the government the reason being is that the government does not care about the people they care more about the corporation, than the people. The corporation are benefiting from this because they’re getting more money and have more business. The people that are suffering are the third world people, the people that help create the products, from Mexico, China or even South Africa, are suffering. we the people are benefiting by this because were able to buy certain things for five dollars or less, while the person that created the product only gets 5 percent of their work. In my opinion this reality is not necessary because the people in the third world should not have to suffer for our needs and wants. By us crazing for the new iPods or other electronically device we need to see, were it comes from and how it is made and delivered to the United States. Even though these products. Are (Of the people, for the people and by the people) It still effects the society that we live in. and it leaves a big impact on it. We the people should have more value on the things we buy.

              In the movie "Sleep Dealer" it discuss how soldiers are able to go on missions by remote-piloting drones, to far away places. these mission that they are committing are televised live. and the advantage of these kind of remote warfare is that the United States use drones such as these for combat in Afghanistan, and to portal the border between the US and Mexico. the disadvantage of these kind of things is that the people that, they may be attacked, might be innocent bystanders. that didn't know they were disturbing something.
             In my opinion i do not think it is a good idea to have such vagueness, things done in the United States, i feel as though, by having soldiers in other countries and having them with unprotected weapons and safety that, is good enough damage to our country than to provide these drones killing so called suspect that we consider enemies. these type of weapon will not help better the world. but it will help destroy it.
                         In the Film Rudy Ramirez a Mexican-american drone, in other words "pilot" heisted before he explodes the enemy. (Memo father) in my eye the reason  for the hesitation is that it is rare to see the enemy face, and to see the enemy alive before there final death, also because by seeing the enemy it make you restrain yourself that this person is a human being, just like you and that they have love ones that are going to miss them because of you. it should be hard to kill someone at war because you have someone blood on your hands, that you are not able to wash away.
                 To me it is possible that in the world we live in that televised war can happen soon, the reason being is that our world is so crazy already with 911 and other bomb threat, also with t.v shows showing how cops take in hostage. that i wouldn't be surprise that they broadcast a show of people blowing up distance place, and people cheering them on, like that's the right thing to do. i for one wont watch it or have anything to do with it cause i don't condone that type of violence.

The New Industrial Migrants (Part 1 and Part 2)

         In  the New Industrial Migrants, it discuss people who are immigrants that have to travel to a different location to obtain a jobs because they do not speak any English. most of these immigrants are Mexican, who lives in old trailer or motel  that have rusty mattress and also share rooms. these worker work several hour a day and only get poverty wage. they do not receive vacation or insurance if something must to happen to them on the job.these workers or working like slaves.

                  IBP a business insurance that is trying to turnover the way things are for the immigrants so that they can have a better life, and be able to take care of their families.  
 these companies had recruited homeless people, to work in there factories just so that they can stay in business. the real  cost of these meat market factories is to insurance to clean the food that we the people coincidentally eat. but it dose not reinsurance the people who life is at risk by taking on such task in cleaning the meat. and getting such little pay.

In The Article "Let Them Eat Fat" Greg Crister from Harper's Magazine, discusses the issue with, young teenagers eating at McDonald due to the cheaper meal and super sizes. he also discuss how fast-food companies have grown more aggressive to their target of poor inner city communities and pick on these people because of there low income
i agree with Crister because a lot of kids, after school nowadays will be crowded in one particular fast food restaurant, such as McDonald. the reason being is that they don't eat cafeteria food or that they are aware that there parents are not going to be home to cook them dinner. In addition i feel as though that parents should make more time for there kid, especially when it comes to there eating habit, so that they will be healthy and not constantly eat fast food, every day, also i feel as though the school have a big impact on what kids eat and should provide more healthier and tastier food for the kids.
Also i feel as though fast food should stop super-sizing, there meal, and just keep it at a regular size for the same price. Therefore fast food consumers won't eat as much fast food and there calories will not increase.
In all Crister gave some valuable suggested on how fast food is damaging the body and how we the people should prevent it from continuing and est more healthier

In the Food Unit, it connects with the other unit that we discussed during the course. because it relates to the Brave New World quote "you shall no the truth, and the truth shall make you mad." this quote reflect the decision of bearing the truth that you may or may not want to know, for example for ("The Allegory of the Cave") the cave men didn't want to learn the fact that there was a world beyond, the world that they were living in, by here the truth it mad them expand the real world, unlike with The Truman Show, it basically drew Truman crazy just to find out the truth, about the so call world he was living in.
In my opinion the maker of the Meatrix, used the Matrix as there argument by connecting the food industry and the fake and real world, by describing the food as good food and bad food.




In my opinion the task that i completely finish very well was, my blogs the reason being is that, i am consent update with them, and also i put a lot of effort into them and i try my very hardest to do, the best that i can with it, the challenge that I'm facing is dealing with the CAT, and learning how to structure an essay with the period and pronunciation. also with trying to have supported evidence for my claim/thesis. for my responded from the CAT 3 i think, i need more help dealing with writing an essay and development it so i can get my point across. with that help i think that i can get my point across with being a better writer.

In the article "Happy Meals" Micheal Pollan discusses the ideas of eating better, and suggest ways to do so, some of the things he suggested are helpfully and others i don't know if I'm going be able to do it.

things that are helpfully to me to eat better are avoiding food products that contains ingredients that are unfamiliar to me that are says high-fructose corn syrup on it, they are able to do because they will help me eat better, and most food i eat nowadays are not high syrup or any other type of high fructose, also eating mostly plants and eating less can help me to be more healthier, also by spending less time in the supermarket can help me be eat better cause the supermarket barley have fresh whole food, that does not expire. or rotten.

things that are not do able to eating better is eat anything my great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food, I'm not to sure about that because than i wont be able to enjoy my certain junk food snacks, that i have craving for , also i dont think i will be able to plant a garden in the time that i do have because planting a grarden takes lots of work,

But Overall, i think that Pollen ideas will benefit me in the future on my decision to eat more healthier.

In the "Story of Bottled Water" one of the myth that is mention is that bottled water tastes better than tap water,this is a myth because people can not tell the difference from bottle water to tap, even with the test that they make theirs know difference between bottle water and tap water. and people believe that bottled water test better than tap water because the way that it is advertised and also because they downgrade tap water making it seem as though, its not good for you and that it is not filter and has bacteria roaming threw it, while most all bottled water comes from tap water.and tap water is more secure than bottle water.

By exposing the myth of how bottled water taste better than tap water is by stop buying bottle water and buy having a bottle and putting tap word in it, also the only difference is that were actually paying for bottle water when we can get tap water for free and it is more conveniently.Furthermore we can advertise tap water and show the different of it to bottle water and how its more affective and cheaper.
