The Jungle

Natalia Flores Professor Benuto English 255 9 April 2014 The Jungle; The Most Dangerous Job 1. What is the Goal of Both excerpt? Both goals of the excerpt is to meet a quota goal, that seems to build and build. The fast pace or unsantitzed food is the point that both animals and workers are abused. Both use manipulation to keep their workers quiet. The industry doesn’t care about anything more than making money on the expense on public’s health. 2. What kind of details do both authors include in their excerpts to make their point? The details that were used on the workers of meat packers such as injuries sustained. They hire low educated and illegal immigrants to keep their plants secrets unwrap. The sanitation in the Jungle story verse the stories in The Most Dangerous jobs are to keep their plants moving regardless of the public health, from workers to food that is being processed. The both use everything from rotten products to unhealthy solutions from dispensation of meat to worker. 3. What were the effect of the Jungle publication and have possible effect of The Jungle? The fast pace is the only thing that matters from rats that been poisoned mixed with meat to process lunch meat. The old rotten meat processed into smoked with couple ingredients will increase profit margin. Again no regards to the public’s safety to what they consumed to the workers in the meat plant whom hide injuries or grossly neglected and abused. The side effects of the Jungle just traded from abuse what the public eats by feeding us faulty product, just switch to abuse the workers in “The Most Dangerous Job’ that you can do the same to the employees.

Walmart: The High Price of Low Prices

Natalia Flores Professor Benuto English 255 8 April 2014 Wal-Mart: The High Price of the Low Price 1) Is it ok for Wal-Mart to conduct business that drives down other business to close? They way Wal-Mart comes in closed self owned business owners such as H&H hardware store or Ery’s supermarket that has ran in a small community for 40+ years. With Wal-Mart arrival business owners are forced to shut down within months. Wal-Mart depreciate local building value, as many other business understand won’t be able to conduct business profit with Wal-Mart in area. The United States government and cities help Wal-Mart provide land and building permits verse the average American business owner, is far from fair to the normal business owner. Thus causing the public to fight back to city officials of Wal-Mart is not Welcome Protest. The government is allowing a large corporate market of Monopoly and favoritism as the Walton family contributes much earnings to political parties. 2) How the ethics are are conducted how the workers get treated with including wages and insurance benefits? Wal-Mart exploiting workers from wages not being properly paid, as no overtime is allowed but you must get work done within a unrealistic time frame. Women workers are not promote to managers and are being discriminated against. Refusing insurance for workers and if provided have unrealistic premiums or deductibles are met with wages are provided. Afro-American are allowed to be mistreated and other Caucasian employees are singing racial jingles, without any ramifications of employee disciplinary actions taken. Wal-Mart freezes wages of their employees for a year don’t allow a union begins in the United States; but allowed in Germany. Crime rate is huge and growing as they don’t provide security only surveillance cameras, as workers and shoppers are being robbed, rapped, kidnapped and killed. Wal-Mart have 30 spy vans to stop workers from forming and becoming union, scaring their workers from speaking up. Instead of utilizing money to control workers a decent thing to do is contribute to workers and safety of the public as well. 3) How does the Walton family proclaim how “American” and “Christian” base company are really are? If you ever notice the advertisement’s that Wal-Mart uses the slogan the American company and way, hardly ever. With the consistent purchases from oversea have forced lots of American company industry to close, as China bought products are ongoing. They have several sweat shops in Mexico for clothing, were workers are grossly mistreated. The Walton family is paid 18 million(s) within 3 and builds their selves to the fortune five hundred yearly as their workers are not provided with decent. Instead of donation their money to charitable causes the keep contribute their donations to politics. A preacher in Inglewood had implied real Christians don’t build empires on the backs of their fellow man.

Why Education Is Not an Economic Panacea

Natalia Flores Professor Benuto English 255 8 April 2014 Education is an Economic Panacea 1) Does slapping a class for few college units in Humanities going to change poverty overnight? At the beginning of the author’s writing he seemed to have no excitement of graduation and noticed a large number would begin. During the course the classes would get smaller and smaller. John seemed like didn’t really think too much of program but was being fully funded books in all for all people under 120% poverty level. John can to the conclusion more of a realization that low-income people are burden today about issues of not having enough. Most students were coming from most students female (Afro-American to Latinas) with one to two jobs and mothers. Found out would be more difficult to overcome poverty and the student’s situation than just one class consisting of several week courses. 2) Was President Bush blaming not enough education for rise on poverty? President Bush did make a statement that education was falling behind since in the new postindustrial era. Those before people with a high school were able to maintain a middle class earning. Thus drawing attention away from the lost economy and jobs lost or even left overseas. It helped giving President Bush an advantage of pushing the lost to other areas such as education. Just addition to one program does give someone hope and direction to change but there are so many other issues that needed to be addressed as a president. 3) Did the teacher feel different towards the end of the article about teaching? And did graduation become a more a special advent? After the end results the teacher John realized that it helped besides just a couple of college units. As many of his students were female and many in domestic violence situations gave these women better insight of social issues as a whole and not hidden home. It gave John a better insight as well as his parents were below poverty level too. As he seen many bloomed and others changed life for the better. Just proves that was quoted by Cesar Chavez ““Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.” John became more familiar in his students lives and struggles as graduation of few units became more valuable to give his students a greater incentives to began the struggles of combating poverty.

Nixon Says Goodbye

Natalia Flores Professor Benuto English 255 30 March 2014 Nixon Says Goodbye The visual expression and the raise of hand from President Nixon’s head with peace signs on both side would be a considered of happy retirement. The President seems to be happy event of the 37th President did a well job and was ready to enjoy some time off, well earned. A feeling of euphoria of relief as the President stands on the top of the steps to the presidential helicopter. There’s a magnitude of a great pressure off his shoulders with an overall visual of Presidents Nixon facial features. It gave a portrayal of great work and accomplishment of fine work Nixon had done during his term in office. That appears to have looking forward to time off and finally away from the Oval Office. The first brief article on post underneath his portrait with a brief editorial that he was that had given his resignation on August 4, 1974. The most convincing of lying is when a person is offended and gets angry. I seen footage of the Watergate with resignation. Nixon is blaming congress that they don't have his support anymore and has tried to roll over instead of admitting wrong doing. Was revised per “Our long national nightmare is over,” the new president, Gerald R. Ford, told the American people in his first address after Nixon resigned in August 1974. “Our Constitution works; our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here the people rule.” Helped us reshape our thinking of being naive to civilians day to day thinking the government will take care of us.I consider it a realization of what continuously plaques my mind of book “Night” by Elie Wiesel, to be content and think everything is ok. In reality there’s a lot of motions in action and never has to do the behalf for the people. In conclusion, that any relationship the best is to always never complete to trust always evaluate; people tend to always do what is best from their selves.

Food Inc

Natalia Flores Mrs. Kim Environmental Science 225 31 March 2014 Food Inc. After further review of Food Inc. documentary, was really astonishing occurring for food standards guide lines. The beginning of food rush started off with corporations through the fast food industries such as McDonald’s. Their policies of cut cost of simplifying factors with practices of one worker trained to do the same job time and time again. Comprehending, that fast food markets are the largest purchasers of chicken, lettuce tomatoes, pork, and beef. The four different key run into five different industries categories: 1. Corn Industry making huge profits and turned into a monopoly. 2. Sanitation with ingredients and preservatives. 3. The use of illegal immigrants for workers in huge food corporations. 4. Monopoly in the meat packing industries. 5. The United States Government, allowing these policies. These are large issues that the United States public should be aware of, it’s has become a public safety issue. People need to start becoming aware to advocate our health for our self but our future generations as this has converted a profit not safety dilemma. This system has failed and started with not only the fast food franchise, but the corn engineering. It seems that Monsanto has engineered corn to come to be a Mafia corporation. They are one of the hugest key players of overall commerce; because they have engineered a corn into considered “their product” Monsanto thinks they own all the corn that is produced. Farmers aren’t allow to use any of their seeding as again the United States government has let another organization take of the United States public health into their hands. Thus allowing these consumers not only alter the process of food but allowing them to pump these items with antibiotics for livestock such as chicken. Then later the consumers such as ourselves eating the produced but only to have these harmful items such as antibiotics plus the what they have secretly added pesticides. We put on our plates everyday not just for our self’s but loves one leaving you feel so hopeless. The sanitation the government to let these food processors continuously changes not only harmful for our health to the public but causing a deprivation of the United States farmer. The farmers are usually owned due to contracts with another large business such as Tyson (one of the largest producer of chicken). Has the farmer expected to run and manufacture to their policies such as keeping the chickens enclosed in huge coops without any ventilation. Unrealistic as one farmer who boldly spoke up against them said that Tyson’s constantly asking to changes that cost over 500,000 USD but only earning up to 18,000 USD. The Famer also had exposed that chicken were dead and were unable to walk with the corn that made them mass produce their breast and legs. The chickens were only able to take few steps, then had to sit with the corn that were contracted to feed making them enlarged within weeks instead of months. Consumers thinking changing their health to chicken because of health benefits; to only find out them not only being processed un-sanitized fashion. These industries are grossly using illegal immigrants or low income public to abuse and to keep their business unwraps of exploitation. The poultry employed the Afro American population which was often low educated and low income workers. Now the poultry companies use illegal immigrants to keep them quiet so these corporations can continue to corrupt their products and feed the public. A secret camera revealed of chicken sick and half way dead being kicked and tossed and sent out for shipping for manufacturing. Making the consumer to purchase from local farmers with farmer markets and look for products that organic. The beef and pork manufacturers were worst the sanitization was ghastly, the methods not only exploited the animals but the workers as well. Cows were forced to be feed corn (which isn’t its natural diet) causing these animals to build up of E-Coli, thus affecting the consumers who eat and become infected. Thus causing the death of a toddler and making his mother’s loss into an advocate, still with rising death’s across the nation and recalls. The rapid productions of meat industry making the butcher’s job market the most dangerous as well into slavery. The Government is the most to blame as the pollution depends on the United States health department to insure the ingredients that are being used. But more of the measures of what actions should be continued to be held with these large monopoly corporations. As more and more of the public continue to suffer the consequences it is the Food Drug and Administration responsibility that it held accountable of fatal deaths happen annually. There should a greater concern about the well-being of not only it’s public but tax payers who rely on the government for its overall health in products that are being purchased in the United States industry. In conclusion again the people can’t rely on its government as many times had failed their public in the past. Considerations of growing your own crops in season such as tomatoes, with having a couple of fruit trees as well to get the people back on being self-reliant.

Liberia: War Underfoot

Natalia Flores Professor Benuto English 255 4 April 2014 Liberia: War Underfoot The portrait presented of Monrovia Liberia the Capital, the first thing noticeable was the all over was ridden with huge amounts of bullet casing. Every square inch of flooring is bullet casing and a person seems to be male wearing flip flop sandals. Large quantities of casing bullets not just in a bunch in one particular area; give you an indications of a high crime country. The scenes of the building with bullet holes, with a greater understanding of fear and chaos all around within Liberia. The fear the people of Liberia made me upset and great heartache to realize that all people don’t live free but with fear on a daily basis. Further reading in Central Intelligence agency and overlooking history, sadness me to see that the United States did help established Liberia. Somewhat used area and resources and no longer utilized just abandoned the country into harmful political powers. It was established for the convenience of the United States to deport salves back. Then United States allowed them to relay on the government while got used to military being station there for since until the Cold War was over. The United States just left an allied country in shambles with dictators that ruined the country in destruction. Recently found an article with an Emboli outbreak that has risen nine hours ago, but Liberia was spared for now. Liberia is located south west of Africa; south is north bordered at Sierra Leon, dense with tropical rain forest. Founded in 1822 by the United States to elevate the United States of freed slaves ‘and shipped them back to that part of Africa. The United States plays a huge part in coming in oppressing people in a political nice way then disregards the country when no longer needed. In conclusion, there is a possible way for the United States can figure a way to find resourceful way to help an allied country.

Bottlemania

Natalia Flores Mr. Benuto English 255 6 April 2014 Bottlemania Wondering how did we acquired into a bottle water nation, what made us transition from tap to bottle? Even if regardless of 89% of meting water regulations, what are so many reasons? It is the for suppose to loading gallons, cases of water, or filling up at the local water seems all to obscured when you can just lead over, just simply turn on the faucet? In reality we call can recall a moments of turning into a store and either filling carts or ice chest with neatly package of purity. With many health concerns or even times of mistrust in your nation, people have transition to bottle water from various reasons. There are many germophob’s that ideas of coming coming up from possible pipelines from the city to their mouths are hard to consume. Personally have witness my own mother and daughter unable to handle drinking even water from a cup just prefer bottle otherwise. It helps fuels the water company ‘with their sale and advertisement quoting “Untouched by man”. Assisting with images of other companies beautiful clean natural surrounding and elements such as Fugi or Dasani. Additional questions with even the plastic that is manufactured and processed of the chemicals that are use aren’t the healthiest either. It not evens a worldwide epidemic with just American consumers, what gives us the strong desire to purchase them continuously. Even the journalist even admitted doesn’t make any pay for it as the average American 27.6 annually, but seem to buy large various brands as an important meeting. Maybe it just a compelling nature to want to take that extra measure to take care of people such as family, friends and various people of importance in our life’s. Consumers purchase for many reasons such as parties, guest or even busy people on the go. There’s even more of a concern for individualism. In conclusion, we must be careful as a consumer as they add many beneficial properties sometimes nothing is beneficial in another luxury in spending extra money.
