CAT # 5

 

     According to Larry Rosen’s passage he states that he is a strong advocate of children using technology such as Internet and mobile devices to do their school work. He also states these types of technology works best with preteens and teens as a teaching tool. However he also knows that children spend too much time plugged in and this can led children to have health problems like obesity but he has come up with a formula to help balance this problem out. I disagree with the Dr Rosen’s point of view that children cannot be denied the use of technology just because it helps them develop and grow.

         I strongly believe that all this types of technology are ruining our children in the way they interact with each other, the down grading of their writing skills and lack of outdoor activities drop. Children no longer interact like the way we did when we were children. Nowadays children no longer care if they are around other children or if any contact with each other. Interaction has become very limited and impersonal. When I was a kid one of the things that I enjoyed the most was having that physical contact with all my friends I couldn’t way to talk about what had happen in the school.  

    Today children seem to be writing all the time, but are they really writing? Yes they are writing in a way that doesn’t teach them to write in the proper way because most of the messages that children receive and send are not full sentences rather they write with code and most of the words are abbreviated. I don’t think these children are going to become good writers.

    For as long I can remember children use to spend so much time outside playing with their friends and we never saw the amount of obese children as we do today. Why play basketball outside when you can play sitting down on your couch. When teens play outside they learn techniques that are involved in all types of sports. By playing outside sometimes is the only way you can learn how to play a game also by trying and falling is the way children learn and grow up healthy and we a positive attitude.  When children play games at home they don’t learn consequence to the actions.

Technology is here to stay with us for their remainder of our children lives and beyond.  We cannot stop our children from using it for their school work however it is important to allow our children the use of this technology with some limitations. Sometime simple ways of learning can also be effective tool to learn

I believe your the essay is too short and I didn't see the author claim. The only thing that I saw is that you summarize the author evidence not yours. Next time make sure pur your own claim like I believe that when people multi- tasking.......... What you need to do is write some evidence and some examples from your onwn experiences.

FAST FOOD 3.4

 
   According with article Happer's Magazine the reason why many of these companies likes to target a poor inner city communities is because many of this consumers are not aware of the risk by eating this type of fast food could bring .for example many studies have show that these companies like McDonald's, Burger King, Krispy Kreme have streaming grown because they main focus is to increase development in areas like where lower income families live. I totally disagree with these companies main concern to over feed our inner city communities like the one I saw on television.

     About two months ago, I saw a program base on how much fast food had poisoned our children. They pick a particular are in the Bronx where many of these fast food are located in each corner in other areas are next to each other for me that was quite disturbing now I can understand the reason why this companies choose that specific part in the Bronx' and that is why has been re name is over weigh community. The blame for all that over weigh population is to the amount of food that people consume is just because they made it so convenient For instance the author Greg Crister states that when the lower income get off work they into high gear about five P. M  to get a quick bite to eat. These meals are ship in convenient to the workers. The workers might get unhealthy because they eat this all the time. This should be a concern for all us and we should try to help to educate these communities especially with them the school system so our new generation learned how to made better choices.

   One of the thing that our mayor Michael Bloomberg has done is to put pressure on all these fast food industry where they need to place the calories count on each of items on the menu, so when people desire to eat in one of these places they can see how many calories that item contains. For me that can be a good thing because if we can pay attention to the amount of calories that one of these meals represents people wouldn't be so over weigh. If we can add to that people don’t exercise or do activities what is going to happen to our future generation. That is a question that we all should have in mind.

     Fast food is going to stay we us for the remainder of our lives so it it time to educate our new  generation that way children begin learning what is the best way to eat. The best way to educate our children is through the school system because children eat breakfast and lunch at the school. In fact, children would learn how to eat if the school provide them we a good healthy breakfast and a nutrition lunch. Also another way to teach our children is with the teachers they would have a better change introducing them the value of fruits and vegetable and the danger of eating fast food.


    In conclusion these companies don’t care how much damage has done in the long run. They over feeding by super size the meals and the main target is our lower income communities. We need to be more aware what we eating and help educate our communities.

DAIRY 3.4

The reason why I choose the topic of dairy is because milk is one of the drinks that I grew up with and I  didn’t know about its history and how it the milk industry went from small  farms to big corporate farms.

Milk is supposed to be one of most important essentials in people’s homes, but I was really surprised to read about the conditions that our milk goes through in its processing. In the early days of dairy farming cows were kept in overcrowded and unhealthy barns and they are fed with waste residue from grains used in nearby liquor breweries. By the 1800’s, laws started to changes to make production safer but with our refrigeration and proper handing milk quality didn’t improve very much.  At the end of the 19^th century local governments pushed for the pasteurization of all milk which put a lot small dairy out of business because they couldn’t afford the equipment and the cost that was involve with it.

Today the majority of our milk is in the hands of a few big corporations and they are totally control of our dairy produce. Even though these large corporations have made milk “safe” It has been through processes which have caused milk to be unhealthy in another way. They have adding hormones, unnatural feed and new technologies to milk the cows faster.     

      The milk that my family grew up drinking for many years was the most pure milk that anybody can drink as it was provided for us by a nearby farm right after they milked the cow. These cows are not fed with dead cow’s parts or injected with hormones to produce greater amount of milk like the large corporate farms.

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.
