My Project : Spinach Pastry or Roll

Dr.J this is my project of making spinach pastry, which is one of the common food in my country. Spinach roll has been in our tables for many and many years and has been passed thru generations and it will continue to do so for as long as god knows. I will show step by step how did we make them.

1-1 pound of fresh green leaf spinach
2- garlic
3-mozzarella cheese shredded
4-butter
5-1 box of phyllo dough pastry sheets
6-salt

In  medium pot, we put the spinach to cook it for at list 10 min. Then by hands we have to squeeze the spinach to drain all the juice that comes out from a spinach leaf. We add some salt, and also in the same time we add mozzarella cheese and mixed for at list 5 min.
In another pot, we put the butter to warm it up and malted so its easy to spread around the dough. After butter is compliantly melted we take a cooking brush and have the butter spread around the phyllo dough, then we put the spinach in the dough by rolling it slowly.
Than we have to put it in the oven for at list 10 min in a 450.
After cooking done and ready to serve to the table the best drink to get with it is a glass of fresh yogurt.
 Thank You and bun appetite.

U.S is considerate to be number one of the highest productive and consumer goods in the world. This evaluation came from many studies and researches made on American’s life population comparing to other countries overseas. Keeping this high level of consuming things, like food, electronics, clothes, cars, and many other products that we use everyday, lead to so many companies around the world to keep the highest product for America by exporting the most of they’re production in our doors. This happened because they know that America, the country of freedom and the country of having the highest population in the world, will consist of bringing the highest money make in the world. But besides that our economy is build in that way to keep flowing or recycling old things to new things in a matter of short time, because this companies that are bringing they’re production in here are making things to not last long, so people will keep buying and buying.

For example: Cell phones are the most usage product in U.S. Every year a specific company will bring a new product with many new features, to make you replace the old one with a new one, or build the phones in that way to last one year and for you to have no choice but buy the new one. This recycling process or better way this wheel rotating in our life will bring to that point of saying that for real U.S is number one country of the highest productions, because number one the people, and number two the government.

Based on what we see, on what we learn, or what we read ill come to the agreement with

Annie Leonard, because all that junk that we waste money for, will go in the same way as a junk in the garbage, by creating mountains of trash. These trash will effect the pollution of the air, intoxicating everything by contaminating many goods as water, animals, air and the leaving creatures human been.

Let’s stop this for good by eliminating a little our consuming. Let’s make America the land of well preserved air, food, and mother nature.

America considerate to be one of the most countries that has majority of immigrants hired to work in many dirty works. Many of these immigrants had no papers or legal working permission because they had came in U.S by passing the border illegally. From this point of view many of these industries and factories are hiring many of them to work in the most unsafe conditions and pay them with the lowers salary that would exist because it would save them lots of money and it would increase the production.

The advantage they get from these migrants is very high because for an average U.S employee they would have to pay for medical insurance, vacation days, and overtime but for an illegal migrant which can’t speak no English, no legal papers to work, they would do whatever they want without the government knowing anything.

For example: The search made in meat factories has come out that 80 percent of employees are illegal workers from Mexico and the rest of 20 are regular U.S employees having all the benefits. These unbalance percentage has come because most of 80 percent of these people doesn’t care of the working condition as long as they get paid and have place to sleep. The low cost labor also had created a big poor community, which will lead to so many crimes, drugs, prostitution in order to survive.

Based on what I know and read I came to one conclusion that being an illegal migrant in U.S will lead to a discrimination against you, because your rights will be very limited to that point of not caring for you as a human being.

United States army is the most advanced and well equipment technology of the world.

The development of army came to that point to have soldiers commanding they’re equipments to enemy territories with out actually being there to fight and to get killed.

The new generations of controlling things were very helpful because it decreases the number of wounded soldiers and it helped them to get to enemy positions with out them noticing. Many of these machines are commanded from real soldiers that take orders from above. These orders are very strict, which has to be followed no matter what.

In the movie of the Sleep Dealer, we noticed the reality of future and the technology of connecting people to real computer system, of them commanding machines by using they’re brain and sending they’re nerves to main computer.

The thing is that US government is using poor countries people to experiment they’re advance technology, because they know that poor people in order to survive will do any kind of jobs.  

Memo this Mexican kid had a dream to go to the city and having the nodes install to his body so he could start working to help his family. He though that being part of that life will fix his life once for good. His body and his strength start changing getting weaker and weaker, but he cared less because on his mind was just money to help his family.

He always had his fathers face in his mind getting killed from these machines, till one day he finds out the real killer was a human being commanded from a computer system.

Rudy, the pilot who killed Memos father explain to him that he had no choice but follow orders to eliminate the target no matter what.

In conclusion I came to one main idea that US government is being very crucial with this poor countries by taking their goods and wells, and using they’re population to work in the most extreme condition. This is not the future. Human being has to survive and not using them for experiments, no matter what condition they are.

After watching both videos of our number one fast-food Mc Donald, i realized the consequences of eating those burgers, fries, and enormous cup of soda on our body.

I think all the American people who eats fast-foods all day long should see this videos, because it would tell exactly what it would happened to your body if this routine of eating will go on and on for a while. Consequences are devastated because it will lead to heart failure, stone in your kidney; cholesterol will go high and high, and many and many bad symptoms that will bring your death. This kind of experiment of eating without any control, and trying what will happen it connects very well to our previous stories of

The Allegory of the Cave," The Truman Show, The Matrix ect, because they all focus to one topic of what will happened at the end, and what is the truth behind the reality.

Believing is what we see and what we see is the reality of facing things in our daily routine.

Participating this class really helped me out to focus on many things that I have to improve of passing my CAT-W test. Dr. J the way that he explain things and the way that he worked with us it got me to that point of realizing many of my issues of reading a story, annotating, highlight the main ideas which I have to look for.

Also reading my blog entries one by one I realized the improvement that I put on in each one of them. The CAT-W practice was a very good idea of Dr. J, because it help me to think more deeply, and to be more confidence of my self before I get the real CAT-W.

Working as a group, it was a very good experience, because I could talk about my ideas, and see if my group agrees or not, and also many ideas of the group I could use them to improve my essays skill.

I hope the best of my self of passing the CAT-W. I am very thankful of Dr. J that helped me on ability of getting thru of my writing issues.

In Happy Meals the author Michael Pollan is bringing up many good issues that consist in our eating behavior and food productions. I like the saying that he mentions that: Don’t eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food. I totally agree with him in this fact because today’s stores are filled with many conserved food, most of them imitation of the real one, and also tons of junks that is been put out there just make profit out of it. When you walk to supermarkets you see twenty rows of rafts filled with lots of products which most of them you have no idea where they came from, how to cook them, how to eat them, and also what is more important is that how good this product will be for our bodies.

Besides that American life is build in this way of rushing and laziness, because most of the people eat they’re meals when they drive, when they walk to go to work or even eating outside because there are lazy to cook. But all depends how your life is build.

For example: In Japan people live longer than any other place, because most of the food productions in they’re tables are plants and seafood. This fresh products will expend they’re bodies to live longer because nothing is raised from antibiotics, nothing is fake and imitations.

When I first got to America me and my family didn’t know much of the food in here.

We start having the same routine as the American life. After I while my dad start having heart issues and the consequences were the food which thickness his blood and high his cholesterol. After the surgery and the entire medication, doctor told him that from now his primary food has to come from vegetables, because it will reduce the cholesterol and it will thin the blood. This fact gave us a good lesson to check all the labels and to cook at home which primary has to come from leaves. But as my family i think the whole American people should concider this fact as a very serious issue which has to be done immediatly.

In the US bottles of water are the most consume liquids of the populations, because it’s the cheapest drink, it’s more convenient to be carrying around, and it helps to keep your body from dehydration on the hot weather. Many people in the US think that buying the water bottle is safer to be drink rather than tap water that runs on our houses, in the public parks, schools, jobs ect. This idea of buying water came from our society, and media, which lead to many companies and factories to start producing bottles of water filled from the same source of water that comes on our house. But for a water bottle factory this could be a big plus because all that productions will put on their pockets a lot of money. But many people don’t understand that all that waste money to buy bottles of water is for free in our houses on our tap water, which very well it could be consumed to be drink by boiling that water for a certain time and put it on the fridge, so you can have it fresh and clean as the bottle of water comes from the supermarket.

I believe that cities and government have to work more on this event of making tap water more reliable for people to drink rather then buying that on the stores and groceries. Local health department have to come with many reports to prove that tap water it could be consume in our houses, public parks, schools. These could be also environment protections from millions of water bottle that people consume everyday. Lets all work together to bring people trust on the tap water, more saving, and eliminate plastic bottles once for good.

Meat production is one of the highest products sold in food market, and one of the most usage products of human been. Based on this calculation many industries of meat productions are having a ridiculous competition between farmer’s production and themselves.

Before factory meats booming around, many farmers had to raise their living creatures until a certain age, and then sell them in the markets which they will get the profits out of it, but after certain years this routine change, and the new generations of meat product came around which change totally the living life of the real farms.

I believe that many of these farmers were corrupted from these industries to sell their fields so they can build huge meat factories, which will bring more production in the market in the quicker way.

So the new generation of antibiotics started, by using any type of injections on animal’s body. These antibiotics were used in these poor creatures so they can increase the meat and the milk production. All this events that was happening and still happening were close in these deadly factories which animals were treated and killed in the most bizarre way.

The caring of these animals was very low, which lead of start spreading diseases among the animals and also the consumers; however these issues from the factories owners didn’t care, as long as the profit getting from them was raised every day by getting high and high.

Meat productions will always be in our tables, labeled, stamp, sealed in plastic which will prove the freshness of it, but no one will know exactly how this meat was raised. We as a consumer we have to look this event in more serious way, because whatever goes in our body has to 100% pure clean and naturally raised.

The Meatrix -1

In the first video pig find out that the world and he was living was just fake and an imagination of the real world. By taking the red pill he got to the reality of animals life which was no more an open field but a factory box that would lead them to a crucial death.  He was surprised to see how the real life of an animal was treated to make a big profit out of them by killing the animals in such unnatural way. Many house farmers were destroyed and returned to factories to cut down the cost of the living animal and to increase the production of them.

The Meatrix-2

In the second video pig into the reality of the  Meatrix.  He sees the treatment of cows chained and caged allover and way of feeding them by antibiotics overuse so they can grow up quick. Also he sees that factory agents give to cows artificial hormones to make the cows produce more milk which will they will get a lot profit out of it. Based on this he sees that many diseases were spreading around the cows but the factory agents wouldn’t care. A dead cow was through away in a open field or even in a river which contaminates the water and the people using that water for other purposes.

The Meatrix-3

In the third video pig and chicken were saving Murphies from the agents factory. Now pig is facing the reality how these leaving creatures turned to be killed and hanged down in a bizarre way. Many of the factory workers were working in these extreme conditions by injuring them self, but the agents wouldn’t care about it besides that they pushing them to work harder and quicker so they can get more and more profit. Finally Murphies was saved from the killing blades but that crap still is out there no matter what.

People Want to Know

Ability of knowing what surrounds the humans in they’re life’s is a virtue that society builds in people’s mind, from the time they born till the day they die. Curiosity generates this truth of knowing things in more open way, so people will get more intelligent. Many things that people will step on, will lead to an ambition of knowing more deeply rather then a surface look. Everything out there has a history which will interfere in people’s mind ether as a truth or as an imitation of the truth.

For example: When Bin Laden was killed, many people wanted to know if this was just fake news or a real event that happened, because many of them were waiting for that day for ten years to judge him for his unreal crime of the twin towers. Many and many news channels were showing the place and the time where this happened and how it happened but none of them was showing his face to the real world. So people besides the news of his death, they start having this doubts, that the whole thing was just fake, because this is how the governments wanted to circle the news in people’s mind, so the things would copy the reality and fool the whole world.

This is a real case, which people wanted to know the real story behind the curtains of the government or even media shooting these videos. Something that will stand out there very empty and it could be just a shadow of fake news.

Facing the reality is what people want to know. Is an issue that will follow them in any direction.

 From the excerpt of Nicholas Balakar “Imitation of Film: Here’s smoking at you, kid the author is pointing on young age kids, starting smoking, from be in exposed to R-rated movies. Many of this movies, will push the young generations to get addicted of trying, and become real smokers In a early age, because they will be inspired from they’re favorite actor or even a curiosity of trying and get the real feeling of blowing smoke out of they’re system. But If we look this issue in different prospective, we can not just blame R-rated movies but also the environment and the society where this kids has been raised.

When I used to smoke, movie didn’t affect me of getting one pack a day of Marlboro. I started smoking because I was pushed from my friends to become part of they group and acting like a real man. In that time the addiction and the consequence of smoking for me was just a pleasure that I had to show and exposed to my surroundings.

I won’t agree with the author saying that kids start smoking, because of R-rated movies.

The issue of young age smoking will be from many sources and reasons that these kids are faced in they’re daily routine. Some of them could be pushed from they’re friends, some others from media, commercials, or it could be from a family member. These are three to four ways that kids will be affected from starting smoking, but out there could be more than I mentioned.

I will agree to one fact that author mentions that, this association should be taken very seriously because our future has to be healthy. We as a group, parents, teachers, or even media included we have to work together to stop these reality of kids smoking and guide them away from this bad behavior. In this case parents has to work on more and get control of this event.

Claim: I don’t think that I would generate my life in Seahaven or any other fake world which everything that surrounds me will be just imitation of what real life is.

Reason: I won’t be able to pursue the real future. My whole life will be commanded from left and right.

Evidence: In this case Truman is a perfect example of living shadow to this imaginary world which every inch of it is made by human hand and command from a human hand. Everything is perfect, nothing happens is just like a on and off switch light which to me looks so boring

After analyzing the class readings and watching The Truman Show, I think that media will roll the human society from one point to another because many source of information will be based on what media brings in our world. Today’s media is booming from new generation of technology, which will give more accuracy and reality on the daily life and future. The media and many sources that support this word like TV, internet, phones, and commercials will have a non stop movement and it will run in one bin which has no end. Everything out there has a story, a life and an end which many of us has to know and many other question related to what we need.

In the Truman Show, media is playing a very important scene in this man’s life, which in this case this TV show is following him from the day that he was born till he realized that his whole life was rolled inside this bubble box, but for other millions of people this was an entertainment which media brought up but in reality was one of the most viewed one. As we see the show we see that Truman wanted to know what was beyond Seahaven, how the life was scrolling outside of that same routine because he wanted to face the real world, and breathe the real life.

Based on the reality of my life and Truman’s show I come to one conclusion that media will proceed in our destiny because is a need that will lead to a new generation of human society.

I know the truth.

Human mentality is surrounded from many lies and rumors that most of them will stick on they’re real life as part of them which in reality this rumors are just words that get from one point to another ending in different shapes.  Many people use the concept of truth by believing what they hear. Many others use with what they see in reality or even a life experience.  But not everyone is the same. Society of this days is made from different categories of human been but me as part of this environment I will suggest that knowing the truth is something that I have to see with my own eyes or something that it got me into it in the real life. For example before getting to the states I used think that living there would be a paradise and the whole opinion came from media like television. Watching American movies really made me think that this is how America is but in reality it’s not because moving to the states and breathing the American life is not easy because this part of the world is work hard to get where you like. Knowing the truth comes to one conclusion that we have to believe for what we see but facts will strongly agree unless you put your opinion from your own life.

blog 5 : I know the truth so don't bother me with facts

The significant idea from Jeffrey Kluger : I know the truth, so don’t bother me with facts is that how sticky       false beliefs are and what it takes free people from believing them.

I agree with Jeffrey Kluger and also so many studies of human society came to the same point that human brain is like a tape recorder that gets and erases rumors, lies, and many words that passes through.

Our society is moving around from media and news that in order for them to bring something in our table they willing to get any type of news from any kind of sources which they would be true or false because this is how they make the money and this is how they would inform us.

So basically I come up to one point that believing is what you see and the facts that prove it would be the most believing and trusted truth

blog 4 The Allegory of the Cave.

Summary:
Chained in the wall, in that underground cave which darkness screams around and cover they’re body with her shadow for not make them see the sun light which warms the spirit of human being. The pain and the anger is extremely painful, but no one knows no one hears besides this cave chained up all over. Shadows of humanity walking up to they’re heads, made them think the real life of outside freedom but for them is just an illusion, just a broken dream, that will disappear on that darkness. Who knows when, and who knows how the real life it will be and when they will join the gods gift.
My life in the cave:
This cave is part of me also. I am looking this prisoners hanging on those heavy chains and the pain hitting them all over. I can’t move, I can’t scream, but I’m just waiting for my judgment day so I could release my spirit to haven away from this darkness and this coldness. Days passing, years follow each other but for me what’s left is just a blurry vision of people and animals shadow that walk up to my head with they’re pride freedom. I close my eyes and dream the sun light, but it won’t last long because pain and cold is biting my heart is draining my blood deep to my bones. No more thoughts, no more dreams just nothing but hope.

blog 3 I know the truth, so don't bother me with facts.

By: Jeffrey  Kluger.

Based on the facts we make our decisions. Subjects that are presented with data people stick on them more strongly, however many false beliefs still are very hard to delete them from they’re brain. We can’t always agree on the facts but what we can is that use them as imaginary truth.

blog 2 Reflecting on Annotation

.                      

When we read a book or some novels or ether if we watch a movie we always have to be in a point to really understand what was all about. It is really important to know or to specify the most hit part. In your mind you have to high light the most typical sentences or thoughts that really makes you understand the topic. Talking about annotations helped us to have more ideas and opinions and based on the whole talking we can come down with a very understanding writing.

Majority of people around the word find the easy way to search things on internet, but there is some that prefer to ask around or flip pages or even use ideas as a life experience.

But somehow two guys created this web that help and make easy search for so many and many fox .Google. Can we always relay to google for anything that we really need to know? Can we really hide our ignorance by clicking google? Can we do any other search without google? And many, many other question related to one word. Well looking in this point of view really I can say that many times google helped me to my researches. When it comes to the question Does google makes you stupid? For me is very important to get accuracy of what I am searching. It creates more secure and leads me to the right answer.

blog 1 Competation

Advertisement and commercials are part of our society that will follow us no matter where we are, what we doing and where we live. It is true though that most of them sometimes they get so annoying but without them we can’t separate or choose the best for what we need. Back in a days, Advertisement and commercials were not that populated so things that people buys it were just from hiring around, like a family member or a friend or any source which I may not know. Years pass and technology got more advanced to that point that everyone will see or buy things with click of a button or with just a phone call. So how we end up doing this things or what made us create all this gadgets.

1.      Consumer.

2.      Money.

3.      Reputation.

4.      Power.

5.      Competition.

6.      Life easier.

Whole this six points create what we call commercials. My opinion, commercials are like a poker game ether you win or you lose. Lucky enough I get what is best, bad one, well I will start spend extra more green paper to get what I am looking for. It’s all about search and time and of course not an empty pocket.
