Entry #1 Blog's

     I've never really read blogs and I don't understand why people read them. The only blogs I've ever read are all on current information such as news blogs. Nevertheless, this assignment has forced me out of my comfort zone and I've read some blogs I wouldn't've read otherwise. Earlier I was thinking of the Japanese government releasing radioactive water into the ocean in Fukushima and decided to look up blogs on the subject. What I came across was Interesting, although the blog had nothing to do with radioactive water it did walk me through someone's trips to research the revitalization of fisheries and coastal communities in Fukushima. I enjoyed reading this blog, it was short and taught me that I need to take a trip to Fukushima in the future. The locals look nice and the food looks immaculate. 

Moreover, the second blog I read was
more informative and served to give me a look at how other pet owners think. To sum up, most dog park have irresponsible dog owners and one must follow the five golden steps to becoming a responsible dog owner. Most of this information was common knowledge although parts I know most people don't do unfortunately like taking them to the vet yearly and keeping their weight in check.
Finally, this last blog really came out of no where and had me kind of confused. It has to do with a really popular online game known as only up which recently got really popular. Apparently the creator got really overwhelmed by the games success and decided to stop selling the game. I cant imagine the game was too difficult to make it was just a bunch of unity assets crammed together but they still managed 400k sales totaling to about 2.3million in revenue in three months. This upsetting realizing they could've done so much more with the game or they could've sold the title to some other studio.

    Hello Edgar. When I heard that we were doing blogs for a English I was also very confused. I always viewed blogs as something that people do when they are older and have no one to talk to so instead they use it as a diary of some sort. I like how you chose to look into blogs in order to understand them. The blogs that you viewed seemed very random which is what seems so cool about them because you get to learn random information without having to search for it. -Viridiana Sandoval F.

    Hi Edgar, When it comes to blogs I feel the same as you. I didn't really know what to think but here we are getting it done. For me the only blog I ever read before this assignment was gameinformer. It's a good thing I think because we get to try something new so it's not to bad. Breaking form your comfort zone is something we should all try every once in awhile.

    Hello Edgar, I also don't normally read blogs and was intimidated by the large content that was in store for me. I also found it interesting that you were looking for an answer about the releasing of radioactive water into the ocean in Fukushima, but instead got information about the place and now you want to visit it.

Blog #9 Artificial Food Dyes

Image
Some products in grocery stores like pastries, cosmetics, candies, soft drinks, and so much more contain artificial dyes that aren't good for people's health. These artificial food dyes are a problem that has plagued our country for decades. Countless articles and papers have been published about the various health problems associated with consuming these dyes. One of the biggest works on artificial food dyes is a paper written by Sarah Kobylewski and Michael F. Jacobson titled Food Dyes: A Rainbow of Risks. This paper discusses different food dyes and the dangers they present on the human body. They specifically discuss the dyes Blue 1, Blue 2, Citrus Red 2, Green 3, Orange B, Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6. In their research, they found that three of these dyes (Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6) contained at least one carcinogenic contaminant. Red 40 contains a carcinogen called p-cresidine which is used as a synthetic chemical intermediate in the dye-making process. Their r

Blog #7: Film Fresh

The purpose of this film is to teach the audience what happens to their food before they get to the grocery stores. The audience is anyone interested in what happens to their food before it gets to their stores and people interested in organic farming. The tone is serious since the topic itself is very serious, they present all the facts and the shady practices going on behind the scenes when raising these livestock. The part of the film that stood out to me the most was the part when they showed a McDonald's restaurant over a highway an hour and twenty seconds into the film. This McDonald's is so cool, you can cross the highway from the inside of the building and probably eat over the highway looking down on passing cars. This is probably one of the most American buildings I've ever seen in my life.  This film does a very good job of portraying how certain foods like chicken eggs get to our plates and I like their explanation of how the white spheres you buy at the grocery

Blog #10 Christmas

Image
Christmas is what most people consider the best day not just a holiday but the best day of the entire year. According to Statista Christmas ranks top 3 on the best holiday in the United States only being beaten out by holidays like Thanksgiving and Memorial Day surprisingly. Kids like this holiday only because they know they're going to receive something in the morning under their Christmas tree. At least that's how I viewed Christmas growing up, as I got older I started to understand that Christmas was more of a day that we get to spend with the family rather than just a day of handing out gifts.  In my household we treat Christmas like an upgraded version of Thanksgiving, some years we even cook a turkey up too. Other years we make meals for the family like pozole or tamales, something that we can enjoy that day and have enough left over to enjoy for the rest of the week. Every year my household is filled with my whole extended family including uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces,
