1500 Word Fast food Essay

          America is one of the fattest counties in the world. America wasn’t chosen randomly to be the fattest country. It was all the fast food. Nowadays people like taking the easy way out by eating fast food. Is this what it has really gone down to? In reality it’s just another short way to their deathbed. It has become really easy for people to buy fast food because of all the fast food advertising that we have now. Since there is no many people eating fast food every day that goes on there will be more people suffering from high blood pressure, effects of cholesterol, and obesity.     

          America will continue to be one of the fattest countries in the world, unless people take a stand. Whatever happened to "personal responsibility"? People do not take responsibility in what they eat. Nowadays people choose to go through a drive through instead of cooking a healthy meal at their homes. People choose fast food because it may be fast and affordable or they are just too lazy to cook.

            I believe that the parents are at fault, but not only the parents but the industries as well. The industry is only marketing the products, while the parents are the ones who allow the children to eat such high-calorie foods. Parents should be a role model for their children.  They should pay more attention to what they are buying their children eat. Instead of parents blaming fast food for their children suffering from obesity they should blame themselves for falling for all their advertisements.

            Set of short articles in “Fast Food: Who’s to blame?” Shannon Brownlee, in “Its Portion Distortion that makes America Fat” states that the fast food companies are the ones that the fast food companies are the ones that are responsible for the Americans being overweight. “If you Pitch it, They will Eat it” by David Barboza stated that “ a growing number of nutritionists call it a blitzkrieg that preserves children’s eating habits and sets them on a path of obesity.” Companies see their marketing as “harmless” but in fact the opposite; the results are within the children who are exposed to the “harmless marketing”.

            David Zincsenkojin “Don’t Blame the Eater” talks about how it’s not the fast food that’s at fault, but the eaters. “Kids taking on McDonalds this week, suing the company for making them fat.” I believe that it is in fact true about being the eaters fault because fast food companies aren’t forcing their food down there throat. It is also not the company’s fault for people not seeing how much calories their food item has when they have them up in their restaurants. I believe the only reason fast food restaurants should be getting sued is for poisoning people or selling bad and expired food.

            People suffering from obesity have increased over the last several years. It all starts during their childhood years. America will continue to be the fattest if actions aren’t taken. It all leads to all the fast food restaurants that they are exposed to nowadays.

Music & Teens

          For some people music is art, but for others is so they can express themselves. Music has been part of our history. It has been used in many cultures and traditions to express their feelings. Different people have different taste, and various types of music have many ways of leaving an impact on someone. It can be relaxing, angering, and many more. Nowadays teens have taken music to another level that changes their perspective about the way they feel and see things towards one another.

            Music sends either good or bad messages that have a big impact on how teens may act. Nowadays there is a lot of music with tons of profanity. Teens may act a certain way or say certain things when hearing certain songs. Music may influence a teen in a good way but most teens never tend to pick up the good things about music. Music gives a teen a certain style and attitude.

          One of the most influencing behaviors was the Columbine High School shooting, in which twelve students as well as a teacher were fatally injured, as well as 24 others who were injured. Learning the prior to their suicides, the two shooters, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, were heavy metal and Goth music fans, it seemed to be that the media immediately instilled a moral panic about that particular genre of music. Music had taken a big part of the two kids action. It all depends on the person; as well there are people who begin to use drugs when listening to a certain type of music. There are also people like me that music has no effect on them.

          Music is there and will always be there. Unfortunately we don't have a say on what other people may do when listening to a certain type of music. Music artist have to realize what they are doing to the society with their music and make a change. We as the people also have to be smart and not let the music have a bad influence on us. What is done is already done and we just have improve on the music that we listen to today.

Personification/A Toilet

          A bowl fitted with a hinged seat connected to a waste pipe and a flushing apparatus. I am used everyday by people all around the world. Everyday that passes I receive loads of crap from people everywhere. If it weren’t for me the world would be a disgusting place. Receiving human waste is the only purpose I was created for.

            My porcelain parts can last for many decades, easily over 50 years. My seat and the internal working parts have a much shorter lifespan and will usually work about ten to fifteen years. I last a really long time even though I am Being used a large amount of times during a single day. I will always be in everyone’s past, present, and future.

            I can be extremely filthy and may also be clean. In public places I am not always the cleanest object but it may also depend on the place that I am located in. some people don't see the importance of my existence. I instantly flush away all unnecessary things. If I wasn’t created there would be unnecessary waste everywhere.

            Having said so I am an object that twists waste clockwise, counterclockwise and sends it either to the sewers or a septic tank. Eventually, the water in the sewer or septic tank is sent to a “water treatment plant,” where it is cleaned and treated in a special way. In order for all that to happen, I the toilet has to begin this cycle.

Stand up Speak out

            I feel like homosexuals all over the world are being pushed away and

discriminated. People shouldn’t care of other people’s likings. Nowadays-gay people

are afraid of coming out of the closet because of people discriminating homosexual

people. Homosexuals should not have to feel different because they are the same as someone who is straight.

            Homosexuals should not be discriminated due to the fact that they are human beings and not some sort of extraterrestrial. Nowadays there are a lot of people making fun of homosexuals by calling them “fags” or “faggots”. If you are Mexican and there is someone calling you a wet back that person would get offended, which is the same thing as name calling for gays. If you don’t want to get made fun of than don’t go around making fun of gay people.

            I think people should really begin to mind their own business and not get into other peoples lives and going against there believes. If people decide they want to be gay than is there decision and we don’t have right to go against them because that is what they want. Straight people are nothing greater than gay people everyone is equal. A gay person should never have to feel less of a person. Gay people are just trying to love and trying to be loved back.

            Gay people should have the same rights as any other person and should never get excluded from marriage. Gay marriage doesn't affect anybody in anyway so I don't see why it’s a bad thing. There is nothing wrong with being gay. Having said that people should just let people live their lives how they want to live it.

Academic Autobiography

          

          My father the one who has always been there to support me in any way. He has always been there to keep me on task and up to date with all my academic assignments. In elementary I attended a school name L.A Elementary that is located in 1203 South Serrano Avenue, Los Angeles CA. I did not attend Pre Kinder I began going to L.A Elementary as a kindergartner. I went to the same Elementary school for all six years. When I graduated from Elementary I attended a school name Pio Pico that is located Arlington Avenue / West 15th Street, Los Angeles, CA. I went there for my three years of middle School. After I graduated from there I began my freshman year in West Adams Preparatory High School a school located in 1500 West Washington Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA. I am now a senior at West Adams class of 2012.

          I currently do not have a favorite subject but if I had to choose one it would probably be Math. I am not that great in math but I still find it a little more entertaining than any other subject. I have only taken two math classes that are Algebra 1, geometry and I am currently taking Algebra 2. I find it my best subject because in the math classes that I have taken I have gotten either an A or a B and I at this point I find Algebra 2 and easy A.

          One of the most influential teacher's I have had would probably be my Ninth grade History teacher. I find him an influential teacher because I remember him having us do assignments that were similar to some real life experiences that I have had or may have. At the time I didn't realize that it was going to help me with real life experiences but it did.

          In the future I see myself attending college. At this moment I do not have an idea of which college I want to attend but my plans after high school for sure is to attend college. If I were to describe myself as student I would have to say that I am an average student. School isn't really my favorite but I know that without education I wont go far therefore that is the reason I have plans to attend college.

          My first language is Spanish because that is the language my parents spoke me ever since I was a child. I learned to speak English little by little once I was getting older it wasn't really that much after I learned to speak Spanish because while I was learning to speak Spanish at the same time I was learning to speak English as well. When I was in Junior High I was an average student so my grades for English weren't that high but they weren't that low as well. My grades for my English classes would stay between a C and a B.

          The specific goals I have for this class is to understand the material and get a good grade in the class. The main thing I am aiming for is to get an A and if I don't I will do my best to get no lower than a B. As a teacher I expect you to just teach me the material that is necessary to keep me going for my future classes.
