Entry #5: "FRESH"

I come from a country where people use to work in a factory that producing products by contract and animals farming, so I thought I kind of know the process of how people producing food but not really. After watched the “Fresh” film, I realized that how terrible it really is. In addition, there are a lot of news and posts on social media say today people are using a lot of chemicals in their veggies and animals to help them look fresh, big and heavier so the farmer would get more benefit from their produces.

There were some baby chicks being thrown to the ground like they weren’t living things that part of the film made I felt so upset because those chicks are living things and they are still alive in that time, so they must get better treated.   

The film is trying to show everyone the terrible views that are hidden behind the word "food". Also, It lets people think about the future of productivity. They are trying to tell people to stop produce food with chemicals just because of 3 times growing faster and cost cheaper price! Someone who cares about their health might choose to consume organic food instead of eating regular food that has chemicals in.

The film taught me more about the process of making food. It is a special one because it showed people things that go on behind the process of making food. It helps everyone to understand what is good and bad for their health, and how could food affected their health. I believe that everyone is much worry about the food that they are consuming after watching this film.  

Entry blog #4 Arizonans And Raining!

I am new to Arizona so I am very surprised by the act of people who live in Arizona for a long time. It's the time we welcome the dusty, windy, and rainy weather that only seems to happen around this time in Arizona. Some of my friends keep texting me like “It's raining!!!” with all caps of excitement saying it's raining even though they know that I can see the droplets pouring down. Also, some people act as they’ve never seen rain before. It sounds overdramatic but really, some people act like that. They also take many pictures of the rain and post it on social media with the excited caption. It seems like they extremely love the rain but nobody leaves their house to enjoy the rain as they mean to. Some people keep saying that they love rain and don't mind it, they wish if the rain would be longer and harder. Don’t they even care about the flash flooding, or the rain going to turn into big rain storms? Moreover, whenever it’s raining you will receive a noisy alarm message on your smartphones about the approaching of the storms. The ringing sound of that message is always loud and obnoxious that can cause someone into thinking the phenomenon is much worse. However, It's funny if you are in a large public place and everyone’s phone is ringing at the same time; it happens because each phone in the room receive the alarm message in sync.
