blog16 revision of cat-w #2

     In this passage Imitation of film :here's smoking at you, kid , Nicholas balakar states that "Children ages 10 to 14 are much more likely to take up smoking if they have seen actors smoke in the movies>" I argue that alot of tennager smoke because they have seen their favorite actor smoke.so they could to be like them they would want popular.Children think actor on t.v is healthy when they smoke so they try to do the samething as them.children also do smoking because of movies they seen.
        Balakar states that movies that are R-rated contain as much smoking.Children under 18 should not be watching movies that are R-rated.Parentsshould talk to their children telling them that smoking is not good for them They should tell their children that smoking can lead to lung cancer.Children shoukd not be able to go into a movie theatre with a movies that are R-rated without their parents.
       Dr James D Sargent,The lead author on the study and a professor of pediatrics at Dartmouth Medical scholl,States that kids begin watching "R-rated movies at fourth or fifth grades." childen should be doin school work at that age not watching R-rated movies.The study interview 6,522 children about their movie-viewing habits.Fifty films were chosen at radom form a list of 532 box." The researchers would add up the number of child who had been exposed to smoking in movies.The author also stated that "children who had the greatest exposure to smoking in movies were more than two a half likely to start smoking as for those who had the lowest".children would want to smoke because they seen their actor smoke but they dont know that they are not doin it for real and that they think they are more heathy.
    My stepbrother always use to say he would want to grow up to smoke because he had seen alot of actor smoking and he would to be like them,i would always tell him that smoking is not good for him.
     In my conclusion,children should not always want to smoke because they seen actor smoking.These actor smoke because they know what they are doing.They should take this very serious.

blog 15 part 2 responding to a factory farming issue

In this issue about food safety the newspaper reports that every single decision a farmer or corporation about growing or raising a certain kind of food affects the finally product. I argue to the newspapers reports that handful of food borne illnesses, 76 million Americans suffer from food because of a lot a harmful toxins and chemicals in their food.. I think this is important because a lot of people could die from bacteria virus. In this issue its stated that “According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 325,000 people are hospitalized for food related illnesses and 5,200 die in that same time period”. All the filthy condition inside a factory farms lead to many illness.in this issue they also stated that ‘inside animals has linked to poisoning, infertility,birth defects,damge to the nervous system and polentially cancer, so this is why a lot of people die or get sick from all these food from the farm. With such a significant increase in the speed of processing, workers are hard pressed to maintain the highest level of sanitation.Food safety are not only meat because in 2003 they stated that the largest recorded outbreak of hepatitis A was traced back to green onions in chi_chi.
   For example this video i watch about a man that wat to oversize. before he had start eating mcdonld everyday he went to the doctor and they told him that he was in a good shape so he started eating mcdonald for 30 days it messed of his health by giving him headache and chest pain compared to this most food infection are cause by what food people are eating.

        The summarizing of meatrix, Leo is a pig that live a normal live until one day Moopheus ask neo if he know anything about the metrix so he offered neo a blue or red pill. Blue pills meaning he stay and the red pills meaning he tell neo the true.neo took the red pill and finally realize wat the real worls is like.In the meatrix agriculture started factory in the mid 20th century.They feed antibiotics to animals to keep them alieve.Morpheus told neo that it never too late to stop.He need to let people know so that they could join and stop them.
        the second summarizing of the meatrix: revolting, 2years people are realizing where there food are coming from.neo and moopheus went to the meatrix to save the rest, Everything look same way but they are really not.The agent of the meatrix shot animals with hormone.cow disease that are fed by dead cows blood.At the end neo and the agent had a fight.they took moopheus neo and the chicken decide to get back moopheus.

blog 13 revision of cat #1

       In   this passage "the dangers of reality T.V". The author Timothy Sexton states that reality television reinforces several unsound message that are molding the minds of the young fans. I believe in this statement because alot of people believing in all this unnecessaries things.alot of people brains is not function because of all these reality.Sexton state that the value of image is goin out of use of education. sexton also states that alot of peoples is watching T.V shows such as "survivor awarding winners a million dollars or who wants to marry a multimillionaire".It is telling people that life is nothing but a competition about furtune of several millons.Sexton stated that the united stated is having more than one business because of reality t.v.sexton give example that singing on american idol who wants a better voice but less attractively "packaged" or someone on the apprentice who is for more competent but of lacks "personalities"
      I disagree with "Why go to school and fce the difficulities of learnin something when you can just get on fear factor,eat bugs and walk away with a bucket of money"because alot of people will be uneducated a person that are difficulties on learning something can always get tutor on their abilities on their work so that they could be better at what they are having hard times with.people should not want to go on fear factor or other reality shows just to win a million dollars.They should get an education so that they could walk away with bucket of money but wont be able to a college graduates or be educated. you could have your education and still become a milllionaire. people should go to school and try to get a better job another than goin on a reality show just to win a millionaire and some people g on the reality show and still dont win a millionaire so it betterto go to school get your education and get a better job that could pay you good money..
       An example of this is fantasia,she is an american Idol winner,but she didnt go to school so she couldnt write or read.she wanted to do something better with her life so that why she went for a try out on american idols so that she could do something bette with her life.
         In my conclusion Reality shows has been distrating alot of young fans minds because they just wanna be on T.V. shows just to win millions and notbe educated.

blog 12-- Summary and response to Red pill or blue pill

  In this passage, "Red Pill or Bill Pill: Is Ignorance Bliss,The author Christine Cornell and Patrick Malcomson stated the difference between the matrix and the alice's adventures in wonderland to show what is real and what is not.The life he had never led he was now experiecing it.
       Cornell and Malcomson give an example of the "Allegory of the cave " stated that the turning away from the light of sun is not the real world. Socrates stated that being it is difficult turning around out of the cave into the bright light.The author stated that neo eyes only hurts beacause he wasnt used to bright lights.The author tells us that "they cannot bear the shock and refuse to believe what has happening is true.this mean that everything they was doing they didnt believe in it and after the believes that everything is true.

The matrix Summary

1. Thomas A. Anderson leads a secret life as a hacker under the alias "Neo" and wishes to learn the answer to the question "What is the Matrix?”20. Cryptic messages appear on Neo’s computer monitor, which lead him to a group led by the mysterious underground hacker Morpheus 21. Morpheus offers Neo a choice between two pills: A blue pill that will return him to his old life, and a red pill that will allow him to learn the answers he seeks. 3. When Neo swallows the red pill, he abruptly finds himself in a liquid-filled pod, his body connected by tubes and cables to a vast mechanical tower covered with identical pods.4. The connections to Neo’s body are severed, he is flushed from the pod, and he is rescued by Morpheus and taken aboard the ship Nebuchadnezzar. 6. Neo's atrophied body is restored to full health on the ship Nebuchadnezzar 2. Morpheus explains the weirdness of Neo’s situation: Artificial Intelligence has enslaved
human beings, growing them in pods and harvesting the energy produced by human metabolism, while they unknowingly live out their lives in a computer programmed virtual reality—the Matrix. 8. Next, Morpheus explains the role of the Agents that have harassed Neo: they are “sentient programs” whose function is to destroy anyone who questions the virtual reality of The Matrix. 11. Lastly, Morpheus explains he has been looking for “The One,” who it is prophesied will come and lead humanity to freedom by destroying the Matrix. Morpheus believes “The One” is Neo. 10. Neo is trained as a member of Morpheus’ crew  9. The Oracle tells Neo that he has the gift of manipulating the Matrix, but that he is waiting for something. 16. The Oracle adds that Morpheus believes in Neo so blindly that he will sacrifice his life to save him.
13. The crew enters The Matrix to take Neo to meet the Oracle, a woman who has predicted the
eventual emergence of the One. 12. When the crew is betrayed to the Agents by Cypher, Morpheus allows himself to be captured so that Neo and the others can escape. 14. Neo and Trinity storm the building where Morpheus is held captive by the Agents and rescue him. 18. Agent Smith shoots Neo dead. In the real world, Trinity refuses to accept Neo’s death, confesses her love, and kisses him. Neo revives in The Matrix.
5. Now Neo is able to perceive the streaming lines of computer code that comprise the Matrix. Neo then uses to his new-found understanding of The Matrix to destroy Agent Smith. 17. The ship Nebuchadnezzar is discovered and attacked by machines called Sentinels. 7. A short epilogue shows Neo back in The Matrix, making a telephone call promising that he will demonstrate to the people imprisoned in The Matrix that"anything is possible." He then flies away.
