The Meatrix 3.4

     In this segment we learn that majority of cattle wind up being slaughtered for the fast food industries.
 Speed is the number one priority  and worker safety becomes a secondary to the production. Meat packing
have been called the most danger place to work in the US. In the Meat Matrix video the owner of the plant
they consider the worker expendable so the safety is not a big deal for them. By the worker working an a
faster speed the increases the chance to getting  hurt. When this increases speed the meat have the
possibility to be come contaminated animal manure resulting in possible E coli disease.



Meatrix 3.4

     In part two we learn that through  Leo 10.000 minds have been freed by making healthy food choices. we also learn that diary farms used to be a very humanly run, but now they are inhumanly run by big corporations. Animals are keep in horrible over crowded conditions where the animals don't room to move. they spend they whole lives between the milking barn where they don't see the sun life or breath fresh air.The corporate farms also cute the cows tails and shot them up with large amounts of antibiotic RGBH.  Calves are separated from the mother and feed with a blood  milk mixture which may cause Mad Cow Disease. This disease kill cow as well is humans.         

The Meatrix 3.4

      
This animation film was very interesting, after Leo takes the red pill he see's the farm for what it is a large crowed, nasty and cruel place.The corporate world hasdestroyed the family run farms  business. Some of these farms has been around for  many generations but are they have replaced by big industry farms.


   Their intentions of these big corporations is only how to made a big profit and they don't care who is in the way. For them profit is the only priority so the conditions that the animals are raised  are horriable and the communties and the environment around the farm are polluted with all the waste.


    These corporate farms go as far as injecting hormones into the animals and adding vitamins to the feed,so they can speed the production process. With this process the animals can become contaminated with many disease that can kill the animal is well is consumer ,but this industry don't care.

Cat 3.3

  The main point that the author is trying to make is whether to find out who can be responsible for the death of this young man. I believe that this poor man was place in a position that we can only blame the power of technology in this case. Internet has become the new tool for people to do these inhumanity acts.
When it comes to invasion of privacy the internet is the one who has encourage people most. In today’s society this is a dilemma that has many people talking about. This is becoming a crisis amount many school, work places, streets, and not but also in the privacy of your own home. The statistics on cyber bullying amount United States school system is on the high numbers. In fact because of this high numbers we are being watch other time by our big brother. I was not surprise what had happen to this young man because this is a problem that is increasing true out the entire world and is getting out hand if we the people we don’t start doing something about. For example, many of the thing that people do in the “private life” is there on business why make public for some else satisfaction. 
In today's world  the cyber bullying in not being addresses enough therefore is important to make this issue more aware throughout the entire nation or to make tought laws where people is aware that what they doing is a crime against people confidentiality like the author states “It can affect different people in different ways” . So is also important to educate the public by provide them with place where people can receive some type of therapy.
Technology is here to stay and is going to be part of our lives. So is necessary as parents, school officials and coworkers to be more aware of what people are doing so we can all help on what is becoming a big problem in society and hopefuly we can preven tragedies like what happen to Tyler Clementi.

The Cyborg Advantage

The Cyborg Advantage  is an article which makes the point that between the power of human mind and  that of machines is a force which when put together can be a very powerfull tool.The author gives us an example on how average humans are powered with smart machines they can solve complex  problems and process information  faster and better together. He  also states that is a big debate between folks who love the modern digital enhanced life style and the ones who are unsettled by it.

   Nnowadays,it's unbelievable the amount of people who  find  it thrilling to use technology from the minute that they wake up to the last second before they go to sleep. It is common practice for these people to be on Face book, Tweeter, and Blogs posting, viewing and obsessing over them throughout the day and night.These are the people  who are so attached to the modern technology  that  they don't see nothing wrong with it or for that matter they can't live without it.

On the other hand. I'm one of individuals who are unsettled by excess of technology that I have to deal with everyday. For example, even though I enjoy some social network sites I don't like that everything is in public eye, also it takes me too long to learn how to use them properly.When I used  pen and paper to write my friends I spent less time writing and more time doing other things.What I also hates about these new technology is that people don't like to call anymore they rather tweeter or send a text message. Infac I notice when people is around other people conversations is out of equation what they do is looking to  their phones that is how they obtain a full conversation. I also feel that by  these online distractions  are taking away human interaction and replacing them with a touch of a button. 

I know that technology is here to stay forever, but I also know that I will never be one of  them who like to spend the majority of my day looking at a screen I rather see my friends expressions hear the voice and touch whenever I would like to.

Reason: 1
When people own these devices they provide a big help in order to keep family  to gether . For example  I live in the United Stated in is hard for me to travel other time  and end up cost too much money. However with these fantastic devices it help me stayed in a better state of mind in fact because i can talk to my family on a regular basis like many other people who have  family far away.

Artifacts # 3

     Jerry Springer's  TV show proves that Americans are willing to put their family issues out for the whole world to watch. People nowadays are not ashamed to admit to drinking, fighting , cheating and any other bad behavior that we can think of. These types of programs shows us how far we have come that we prefer to go on television and try to seek help while people are cheering,booing and laughing instead of trying to solve them by speaking to their priest or a professional counselor. It makes me wonder what is in store for future generations. Will they be able deal we their issues without an audience? I hope not because I believe that addressing family issues should be done in more personal environment rather that in from of millions of viewers.

     As you look as these women in this news story you can no longer doubt how much artificiality of modern life there exists in our modern culture. The very essence of what makes us real is being changed by millions of people getting cosmetic surgery all over the world everyday. Now days, the topic of most people conversations is whether or not they should have a cosmetic procedures,so they can look as perfect and beautiful like a young models on television. This new modern techniques have the whole world going crazy trying to compete against the aging process. Humans have always gone to great lengths to alter their appearance as I remember reading a book by the name Snow Flower the book was about a young girl at age of seven binding their foot so they can look different from other, but now days, that is no enough people are not longer allow wrinkles to show on the face also if their breast become saggy the put artificial breast. I guess this new moder artificial life is going to take us to a new world where we are not going to know who is who any more because eventually it will be more artificial people walking and that other would look out of place.

The reason why I choose Madonna's song The Material Girl is  because I grew up in the 80’s listening her  music. The song on the surface was suppose to be about love, but instead love becomes secondary in her song  and we find out that money and materials things was her intension. Madonna is not the only artist who sings about money. They are many other artist who thinks that when they sing what is important to society is material. Today many music stations are playing this type of music like (You have to have J O B if you wan to be we me) or ( who can put the ring on me). Today, society are not longer base on nature feeling rather on your material possessions and is very pathetic to live life only base on what you have.

Warrior


The Warrior
       The reason why I choose this particular picture is because I see her as a strong women capable of fighting for everybody. I choose this character over others because I liked her pose. It represented to me that she is very strong , she has  experience, and she has the capability to take on the world. At the same time she has a face which tells me she can have mercy, courage and she is loyal to her beliefs. If the homework we did shows that this is my archetype then I want to be like her.

Many people believe the warrior archetype  has to fight and be courageous in battle to be a warrior but that's not always true. There have been many warriors who haven't fought with swords or killed anyone but still changed peoples lives such as Jesus, Mohamed, Gandhi, Mother Theresa,Rosa Parks and Dr Martin King just to name a few. I believe the warrior archetype has to have the ability to stand up for what she believes in and if necessary fight for it but she should always try to the peaceful way first. What matters is that she fights for her rights and for the peoples rights in order to have change.



   I choose this video of Ingrid Betacour because represents the warrior archetype as a women who was  held captive for six years in the jungles of Colombia.  Thought her time as a prisoner she never broke down nor did she give in to her captors. Despite being taken away from her family she came out as a fighter willing to continue the fight for the rights of the people of Colombia knowing that the same people who kidnapped her could come after her again.


The reason why I like Xena The Princes TV show is because it was one of the first shows that I watched  that has a beautiful women with a gorgeous body and  who is so feminine kicking some ass and fighting for good just like men have done before. However the only negative thing about the show was she had to use lots of violence to solve the problems she faced.


I tried to find a cool web site on warriors for this blog but I couldn't find anything that I liked but I did read some blogs which are about everyday people that interested me because I see more use to listen to how average people use the warrior archetype than the usual fighting stories do.


All the songs about warriors are about the military and the war in Iraq which are important but I didn't fit this blog. However I'm a big eighties music fan and I really like this song and it is called the The Warrior. Hope you will like it.
          


                                                The Altruism

File:Belisaire demandant l'aumone Jacques-Louis David.jpg

                                          
This picture is a representation of what  altruism is all about. The woman in the picture is willing to overcome any obstacle in order to go with her instinct to provide help where is needed. This is a very important moral value for many people who feel the necessity to do so. I love the picture because I see her and even though she appears wealthy she is reaching out with mercy to those who need it. She saw her self morally obligated to help the little girl with her father.



One of the missioners that  I admired the most was mother Teresa of Calcutta because for many years she showed so much compassion for many people thought out the entire globe. She went to places the no one that were not visited often and were forgotten about. Her mission was only to provide the food and care for many people who they were sick, dying and in desperate need of help. She provided compassion where it was need  the most. This is the kind of people that scientist should clone. We should have more Mothers of Calcutta in this the world.  




Bill Gates, is another person that has archetype of the altruism in him because he is willing to share his wealth with children who he feels  are entitled to receive a good education. Even though he doesn't need to share his money, his altruism guides his conscious to do so. He is a fighter against for children who live where they don't have education opportunities. He and his wife have traveled the globe to see where help is needed.

I found this story very interesting as not only is Jorge Gomez is a fellow Colombian but he does something really special that I have always wanted to do.Jorge is a school bus driver who makes $700.00 a week yet he has decided to share what little he has and every night he makes and delivers meals for more than hundred daily workers who wait on the corners of Jackson Heights.Even though he only makes a little amount of money he doesn't mind spending on total strangers and receive nothing in return except as he says to see a smile on their faces when they are eating his food.

President Obama gave Mr Gomez a medal recently and he was a little embarrassed accepting it because he says he only doing something his mother taught him which is to share.
