Blog Entry 19:The Story of Stuff

           In the story of stuff, a corporation from one country will extract or take resources of another country. The first country benifits because they are taking from that second country and gain profit by using the other countries resources to make their products.The second country suffers from this action because their economy decreases while they are forced to either buy back their resources or adjust to this radical change. This action is completly wrong,because someone greatly suffers from this type of action regardless of another's benifit.Evidence would be in the movie Sleep Dealers where the mexicans are forced to buy their own water from their river when the U.S. build a dam for their own benifit.

Blog Entry 18:Sleep Dealer essay

            In the movie "Sleep Dealers," Mexicans are forced to buy their own water because the United States
build a dam on their own river.The Mexicans cannot afford the water,so they are forced to work for the U.S.
In the cartoon "A Concise History of Black-White Relations in the U.S.A,"shows a caucasian male taking advantage of an African American male.Afterwards,he abandons the African American because he is done
using him.The movie and the cartoon connect because they both show the dominant race taking advantage of
the minority.
                                                                                   

Blog Entry 16:CAT Revision

                   Fast-food restaurant chains like McDonald's are criticized by "nutritionist and dietitians.Fast-food restaurants still target poor people.since the poor are looking for cheap meals,fast-food restaurants like McDonald's use their "super size" gimmicks to get more poor customers to eat at McDonald's.The super size
combo meal has 1,340 calories compared to the regular meal at 680 calories.Due to my personal experience with fast-food restaurants,what the article suggests is true.
                   An experience I had with fast-food proves the article's claim.One afternoon,at a McDonald's,I ate the Angus mushroom and Swiss and combo.The combo came with medium sized fries and a medium sized soda. When I finished eating the meal,I looked at the nutrition facts,to know what I ate.After I looked at the nutrition facts,the calories for the Angus burger were 380 calories.After I looked at the calories from the burger,I then looked at the calories from the fries and the soda.The fries had 120 calories and the soda had 140 calories. When I added the calories of the entire meal, it was half a day's worth of calories.
                  When you eat one fast-food combo,you are eating half a day's worth of calories.If you eat half the day's worth of calories,the calories you consume will be unused fat if not burned out.Excessive fat leads to diabetes,obesity,and heart attacks
