Entry #10: Kids now vs kids then

Image
Almost everyone has access to a cellphone. Including little children. When I was a little kid I never had a cellphone. When I was a kid I had hot wheels. I played with them in my back yard with my brothers and with my cousins. I didn't get my first phone until I was in high school. Even then I didn't have a nice phone. I had a flip phone. I grateful I had a phone. Nowadays I see two or three year olds with Iphones walking around the stores. My little cousins all have phones that they use to watch you tube videos or to play games. What I noticed is that when you take the phones away from them its like their whole world is falling apart. That is the worst thing that a child can experience. Kids that I have been around whether they be a part of my family or some of my friends family aren't like how me and my brothers were in the past. Some bond together now by playing video games together. My and my older brother would bond when we were little by riding our bikes. Afte...

Entry #9 Fast Food.

Image
Why is this picture interesting? Well, in ads on TV the food always looks delicious. It never looks like how it actually looks like in person. Advertisements on television  is made to bring people into their restaurants. They do that by making food look like its beautifully made by a professional chef. It looks like a masterpiece.   People are led to believe that the food is fresh. When in reality. The meat is frozen and all the workers have to do is heat it up in a microwave.  Fast food has a lot of fat and sodium in their food that it can lead to health problems if you eat it often. Then with their low prices at almost every fast food place anyone can go in and buy a sandwich for a dollar.  One way that I can think that companies get people to buy their food is by competition. For example Chick-Fil-A against Popeyes. Popeyes went viral over a chicken sandwich they then called out Chick-Fil-A. Now the wait for a Popeyes chicken sandwich is like 4...

Entry #8 The Police

Image
One thing that I really hate that people say is that all cops are bad, all they do is arrest people because they want to. Well guess what, that's false people don't know that a big part of their job is doing paperwork. Being a Mexican american police don't bother me. My parents are immigrants and they also don't like when people say that all they do is pull people over. But we also have to be truthful and say that there are bad police officers who are bad people. In my government class in high school we had a class discussion about the law. In student then proceeded to say that she hated the police because they were all racist. They don't care about minorities all they do is arrest people because the feel like it. I was a quiet kid in that class but I was quite offended by that comment. Why? Well one of my closest relative. Being a police officer must be difficult and scary. One of my favorite movies is End of Watch. This movie is a sad story about two polic...

Entry #7 Fresh Recap

Image
Overall I thought that the movie fresh was interesting. This film was made to inform us about food. Most importantly how food is made and what goes into food. The purpose of this video was to inform everyone about food. There is n specific audience targeted because everyone eats food and because everyone should be informed about what goes into the food they consume. It had a very serious tone. It showed how farmers use pesticides on their crops. Some of them can cause harm to our bodies. The video creators care about food and about people enough to inform the public about the harm that some companies cause. This movie made me think about what I should consume. To be more aware about what to put into my body. The part that stood out to me the most is towards the end where the farmer would teach people from his community to farm and the importance of growing your own food. Another fun part to watch was when people where playing with the worms and helping him plant. This film wa...
