In the Meatrix video the main idea was about spreading the word to consumers that support these factory farms. There were animal cruelty, antibiotic resistant germs, massive pollution, and there were family farms destroyed in this communities. Moopheus gave Leo an opportunity to know the truth so he offers him some pills. The red pill would free him from his fantasy world and show him the truth about factory farms. The blue pill would keep him in the fantasy world. Finally he made a chose to know the truth and it was horrible for him to know how these animals were being mistreated.
The main point of the Meatric 11 Revolting was to persuade people to stop purchasing from the dairy factory and eat from healthier small farmers. According to Moopheus in the past two years they freed ten million minds from the meatric. Their goal was to stop the agents of the meatric from pumping cow with RBGH which is an artificial growth hormone that Canada and the European Union have both banned. Also the agents do not care about antibiotic overuse, artificial hormone, and they made these cow drink other died cows blood which created mad cow disease. Lastly as I said before healthy eating and stopping those agents was Moopheus and Leo focus.
The main idea of the Meatric “previously inside the Meatric” was about the dangerous working condition, manure in the meats, but most importantly it was all about the profit. “This factory could process five thousand cows in a single day”. The agents’ goals were to supply as much cows so they could keep up with the demand of the fast food nation. They felt their worker was replaceable so they do not care about their working condition. In addition the factor was moving at a speed so fast which cause manure to get on their meats.

I can totally do with out (Go- Gurt, Breakfast-cereal bars, Nondairy creamer, and Protein water) simple because I eat healthy foods that satisfy my appetite.
There is no way I would buy products with high- fructose corn syrup. When I go grocery shopping, I always look at the labels to see the ingredients so if I saw anything that is unfamiliar and words that is unpronounceable I would put it back.
It would be impossible for me or my family to compromise our health. Moreover companies should not be allowed to false advertise health claim if it is not truth. It is becoming extremely obvious that food products are labeling things that is not truth.
It is almost impossible to shop in supermarket now they have strategies like fresh foods are only located on the walls. Then processed foods are in the center of the store and this marketing strategy is crazy. I enjoy eating real food and that is the bottom line.
It will be a life changing process but it is do-able to stop spending my money at these supermarkets. The farmer market would be an intelligent decision to make what more can I say besides eating nutritional quality foods are better.
I maybe able to do with mostly eating plants especially leave. Plants have been known to things like antioxidants, fiber, and Omega-3 which is an essential to a healthy diet. Also if you eat a plants-based diet you will consume fewer calories.
I may be able to do that as far as pay more, eat less because I enjoy eating health foods. We should all be able to eat healthy but unfortunately there are people who still can not afford quality food.
I can totally do a cook meal right now as we speak. Just because fast foods are cheap, quick, and easy it does not mean it is good for your body.

The main idea of the video was to empower society with facts about tap water and bottle water myth. Annie Leonard is a narrator who spoke out about the myth and false believes that the manufactures told us for many years. Also there were studies that took places to test whether tap water was contaminated.
I was surprised by what the reality video revealed because I thought for many years that tap water was not safe. However there were studies on five different waters and it showed that the most expense one which is Evian was rated as the worst. Wow!!!! I thought how that can be true. Also tap water came in third places it was shocking to me but at the same time now I know the true. Before this video I use to spend about sixty dollar monthly on bottle water. Although this may be true my lady still enjoys her bottle water.
I believe our reality can be different if we stop purchasing bottle water because it is creating a major pollution problem. In fact if there were less pollution our environment will have a better quality of air to breathe. We could make our life different definitely, it start with simple things like stop buying bottle water. Then demand that we have clean water resources to drink. Next we can take active towards people and manufactory that is causing this situation. Finally after all of this chaos is over hopefully this issue will be resolve or at least some of them.

In the article” Imitation of Film: Here’s Smoking at you, kid” by Nicholas Balakar. There was a nationwide survey published in the November issue of Pediatrics reports on children ages 10 to 14. The reports included information about the influence that R-rated movies has on young children smoking. “R-rated movies contain twice as much smoking as other films, said Dr. James D. Sargent, the lead author on the study and a professor of pediatrics at Dartmouth Medical School".
I agree with Dr. James in this case because in R-rated movies the actors are smoking constantly and they are our children heroes. Although this may be true, parents need to monitor what their children are watching. At the same time children who are in the fourth or fifth grade should know right from wrong, but negativity can be a powerful influence on young adolescents. In any case whether you are a young adolescent or an adult, smoking is extremely dangerous to our bodies. For instance smoking can cause cancer and some cancers are treatable while others can be fatal.
The reason why I agree with Dr. James in this situation is because I have a daughter who is in the fifth grade. I do not allow her to watch R-rated movies because of the smoking and other activities that go on in those movies. In spite of the smoking in R-rated movies there are actors drinking alcohol, using drugs, and sexual scenes in these movies. Nevertheless it makes a parent's job more arduous raising children who have been exposed to R-rated movies because now you have to explain not only why smoking is dangerous, but also the other things they saw as well. In other words there are numerous things as I have noted on alcohol, drugs, and sexual scenes so who really want to explain these topics to a fourth or fifth grader.
Furthermore, my evidence that I can corroborate will include my experience as a young adolescent. When I was in the fourth and fifth grade I was very curious while watching R-rated movies. As an adolescent I was influenced by some actors like Freddy Kruger, Jason and many others. On these films there were other actors who I saw smoking and I felt that it was cool. I started smoking at the age of twelve years old moreover; I thought it made me cool. R-rated movies had a great influence on a lot of things I did growing up. However I would not want my children to follow what I have done as far as smoking at a young age. In fact Dr. James quoted “Our studies show that kids begin to view R- rated movies at about the fourth or fifth grade.”
In conclusion, there were studies done which involved a 6,522 interview with children nationwide about their movies- viewing habits. At the same time a fifty film were randomly chosen from a list of 532 box offices hits from 1998 through 2003. As I have shown in my writing how R-rated movies play a major role in younger children live. Before this is an issue we as parents should work together on and stop our children from watching R-rated movies.

In “Red Pill or Blue Pill: Is Ignorance Bliss? “By Christine Cornell and Patrick Malcolmson. Cornell and Malcolmson explain how “freedom is not something that most people are going to be inclined towards or be receptive to’’.
My argument is simple and straight to the point I feel people should be inclined toward freedom. Living in a world with out freedom will be chaotic I would demand to be free because I want to know the truth. I would have done the same thing as Neo did and swallow that red pill. People desire to have freedom and I would stand strong to who every challenge that.
Suddenly, the world that I use to live in would have been behind me YES!!!!! I am free now.
Once the red pill dissolved in me there would not be no turning back from the truth I been searching for my whole life. Now Morpheus and his team can guide me to the proper place and prepare me for my next encounter.
Since I was nine years old I knew that a change will come one day. It was difficult growing up as a child feeling like something is missing but I did not understand what it was. Now I understand that I wanted to feel free from all the negativity that was surrounding me in my environment. All the lies that I heard I just wanted to know the truth about the world we lived in and why are people so vindictive.

In “The Dangers of Reality TV” Timothy Sexton explains how reality TV pursue young fans in a negative way. According to Sexton, reality TV is promoting that competition is essential, it also creates an illusion that image is more significant than ability, and reality TV is implying that education is trivial. These messages are dangerous because it is molding the mind of young fans. Reality TV has a great influence on these young people and something has to be done to stop this now.
Reality TV should be band from influencing our youth especially when it is implying that education is unnecessary. It will destroy their minds and cause the younger population to become illiterates. Further more reality TV have episodes that parents would not agree or allow there children to watch. These episodes are exposing young kids to drugs and alcohol substances. These are not great quality that children should be exposes to. We need to put a stop to those reality shows that encourage our children to behavior in a negative fashion.
The reason why I feel so intense about reality TV molding young fans life mostly is because I have young children. My children love watching reality TV and so on, but when I see things like young adults drinking and smoking on reality TV. After I just had a conversation with my children about saying no to drugs and alcohol it bothers me. In addition I do not like how education is looked at as something that is not cool for young fans. Education is needed in our life with out it we will all be illiterate.
In my life experiences I always believed that what a child encounter while growing up will have an affect on their future. When reality TV send out messages that education is not necessary to accomplish the American dream. I taught back to what my children principal spoke about at a meeting. She explained to us that jails are build according to fourth grader's performance. If that is the case reality TV is dangerous to our children development. Now is the time to make sure our children have a fantastic upbringing so jail will not be their second residence.
Now that we are knowledgeable about reality TV and their dangerous messages, we can better prepare our children about the negativity that they will faces in the future. Therefore when their are interrupted with question like '' Why go to school and face the difficulties of learning something when you can just get on fear factor, eat bugs, and walk away with a bucket of money? '' Another thing our children will be faces with is drugs and alcohol product do to watching reality TV. I hope one day those individual who are behind reality TV will charge the way they expose young fans in a negative way. After all raising children is an arduous task, but we have to continue to be our children role model.

In blog six I will tell you a little bit about myself and how I disobeyed society rules. Growing up as a kid in the streets of Far rockaway was a challenge every day. I always hang out with old males that were five to ten years older than me. They teach me a lot about girls, fast money, and luxury items. Some of the many luxury items were cars, clothes, and jewelry. Those same items cause me a lot of problems growing up in a poor neighborhood. It made a lot of people jealous of me because I was able to afford expensive things. I got into fight with people in my neighborhood some my age but most of them were older individuals all because of jealousy.
I did not care about braking rules or the law as long as I could maintain my life style. What made me disobey the rules continuously was the power of independence and the adrenaline rush it gave me. Just knowing that I could make a six figure income with no education I felt omnipotent. When I purchase cars 90 percent of the time I buy it cash. Luxury cars made me feel like I was gliding on air.
What I expected from all the things I done was an adequate amount of currency so I would be able to open a business or franchise. Also my appearance had to be correct especially when I went places to network for business opportunity. Since I was a young adult I was taught to dress for success beside it made me feel empowered as well. Clothes do make a difference in how you conduct yourself or what society sees you as many times. Even thought I am not where I expected my life to be I did not give up.
