Jamie Oliver under the eye of a keen critic...

Watching Food Revolution was quite an experience for me that was enriched with constant back and forth emotions about the fast food business of todays world.  At first, and throughout manely the entire film I criticized Jamie and his viewpoints on fast food and how it should be changed.  There was no way in my mind that he himself could totally change the fast food nation we live in today.  It is so intertwined into our society and culture as Americans that people would surely cause an uproar if fast food was eliminated.  As the show went on I began to switch my liking to Jamie because of all of the valid points he was making about how we need to make a change in the way we eat and what we feed our youth.  Even though the food board rejected Jamie's ideas and concepts he stayed persistant in his thoughts and feelings because he was determind to make a difference.  In the end, Dino falls into Jamie's ideas and ends up transforming his resturante into a healthier place to eat. 

Research Interest: Climate Change

I have been looking into a very broad research topic having to do with climate change.  I feel like this issue is on the rise and is becoming more and more of a world wide issue.  I believe that this is a great topic for me to tackle because it is something i feel strongly about and have some strong opinions about.  In todays world, the media controls everything and therefore it is tough to find out what facts about global climate change are true.  I look forward to digging deep and seeking out the facts about this growing issue.

The Social Network of........blogger shmogger toggler toddler logger mogger zogger taaaa

In the movie The Social Network, there are many ways that the content can be critically analized.  The two ways I will look at the movie are from a philisophical point of view and from a marxist point of view. 

A philosophical statement about The Social Network is even the most intelligent people make big mistakes.   Mark Zuckerburg made a couple big mistakes throughout the movie. In the beginning he was very arrogant towards his girlfriend which caused her to break up with him.  This then pushed him past his limits to blog and create a program comparing the "hotness" of girls attending Harvard University.  This turned many people against him.  Secondly, when Mark made the facebook site and it began to blow up in popularity and publicity, he gave a good portion of the company shares to his best friend who pitched in a lot of money to make the operation possible. Towards the end, Mark took almost all of the credit away from his best friend and reduced his stock holding in the company to .o3 percent just because more buyers wanted stock in the company.  This was a real sign of betrayal seeing how much his best friend contributed to the creation of the site.  Mark Zuckerburn is a very very intelligent person.  Although even though he is very intelligent, he does make big mistakes like everyone else. 

A marxist look at the movie The Social Network is that true hard work and dedication pays off.  This is exactly what happened to Mark Zuckerburg and his best friend when they discovered the possibilites of their new breakthrough social internet site.  They traveled all around the United States and to different businesses and campuses in hopes of promoting and gaining new members to their site.  A large ammount of cash was injected into the operation as well to make it succeed.  Mark kept getting great new ideas for the program that made it more and more popular amoung people's social lives.  Seeing that Mark is the youngest billionaire in todays world, the statement hard work pays off is a great marxist point of view of the movie.

OOOOOOOODE to HOUSE blogger nogger flogger frogger pogger shmogger chea

The overall message of this episode of House is that you cannot just trust one person's judgement.  In this episode, all of the specialized doctors think they know what is wrong with the woman who had a seizure.  They all have different opinions so therefore they all try to test their ideas on the patient.  It is not until Dr. House talks to other patients and doctors that he discovers that the patient really doesnt have a tumor in her brain.  She just has a tape worm in her brain which could be treated by just taking a medication for a  couple weeks.  They were going to stop giving her medication and treatment because they believed her condition to be malignant. If it werent for their communication and syncronization with eachother, the patient might not have been saved.
