The( Myth) about botteled water is that people are putting a price on it because its save and convinient.
First, You dont have to worry about fluoride because one thinks its 100% filtered and then that's when the water company makes you feel safe that all chemichals have been removed. Using a house-hold filter is less expensive and more reliable than bottled water. We the buyers have been told a lie, that if wedont buy a water brand name like Natural Spring Water or Fiji we will not be safe from fluoride and we believe that there water is the solution for the problem. Eventhoe, in my opinion tap water taste betterand its free. which means that my money will not be going to the water corporations.
The ( Reality ) is that tap water in my opinion taste better that botteled water. But for some people they cant tell the difference between tap and bottled water. People have this assumption that bottled water taste better and is safer to drink. But that is a myth, bottled water might have the same fluoride or even more chemicals than tap water. We can also boil water and remove chemicals, another problem is that when the water bottles are being re-cycle, it burns fossil fuels and this is hurting the enviroment. The more concious we are about protecting the enviroment and not using plastic bottles we are the safer we are from toxic factories.

Blog ( 11 )
In an article written by Cornell and Halcoman, " People want to Know" Jonh Stuart states that
" Humans rather live a conscious life and know the truth, rather than live in ignorance and carry
on while there lives without asking questions". I agree with John Stuart, that humans subsist life
and want to know the truth rather than live in a world like Neo's, being stuck in the Matrix which is
a world of fiction dark and mischange.
For me living in a world that all is lie's, does not work for me. I must know and require to be told the
truth. For example, When I was a child and my older sister was away in college and living on her own.
She would tell me how much fun it was living in a dorn, partying, and not worrying about a curfue.
To me, that sounded like a different world because i could not do anything she was doing, so I could
not way for my chance. Eventually when I got there, I soon enove found out that it was all a lie.
college is about hard work,coming to classes, and aquiring a dilploma.
When Neo first came abourd the Matrix spaceship, everyone thought it was a lie that because he was
failing all the tests that Morpheous was putting him through, but Morpheous new in his mind that Neo
was the one. Evidence? When the agents capture morpheous and Trinity and Neo went to rescue him,
that's when Morpheos new that Neo was the one and the truth was that he was the person who could
defeat the agents.So in conclusion, eventhoe some people rather choose to not be told the truth, I rather be told the truth.

Blog ( 7 ) Series ( 1 ) Reflection and Responce
What have I learned in terms of writing skills?. I have learned that one must use the proper word choice and
how to annotate. With my continuation of studying all I can do is get better.
What ( Proves that I have learned what I say you have learned). Well for starters, This blog series 7 is written as over due. And I have written 2 essays so far. In one essay I scored ( 31 ), the next one ( 47 )
that's an increase of ( 16 ) points. My evidence supports that I'm only getting better, and in time I will be
ready.
What of the material we have covered is still unclear or confused you? I say writing a proper essay,starting
from writing a summary.But as you can see, I am improving and eventually will graspe the concept.
Overall do I fell more confident about your understanding of basic writing skills? or less confident or the
same when you started? what makes you feel this way?. I fell more comfortable because at the begining I
was missing 2 days of class and not aware on the how to's. But by attending on a regular basis i am starting
to understand what is needed to complete the course and the work is getting easier. I study a couple of hours
daily and its still a little difficult but leaning more to the I am underatanding more part.
Anything else I ancshould know?.( Yes )...Dr.Smith, Thank you for being so comfortable with us the students. I notice every teacher is not like you. Your Cool and have a sense of humor and also sometimes
makes us laugh. We the students need that to feel that we can tell you anything and we know we can
how to annotate. With my continuation of studying all I can do is get better.

Blog Entry ( 10 ) New Post ( Here's Smoking at You, Kid
In an article excerted from Nicholas Balakar, " Imitation Of Film: Here's Smoking at you, kid. There was a
survey from a November issue of Pediatrics reports that adolescents raging from an age of 10 threw 14 have watched and copied what they saw on t.v. like smoking cigarettes and watching " R" rated movies.Also
Dr. Sargeant quotes " possibility that smoking began before the children saw these movies.When it came down to finding evidence, the truth is that adolescents imitated what they saw.
Its not shocking that young adolescents imitate what they see from
actors on t.v. like smoking cigarettes.Example, When I was a child I remember being 13 years old and ploting with my friends how to stop a stranger on the streets and asking if he or she could spare a cigarette.
And we would eventually get it. my friends and I just wanted to experience the results witch ended in some of us getting sick and throwing up.
To me it's not a surprise that young children do the darnest things and even sometimes imitate what they see.For example, I know that young children should not be watching " R" movies Beacause there will be a scene were someone will be naked or someone fornicating.For me, it was a thrill seeing woman undressing and having sex. And as a child I wanted to experience how it felt doing those things I saw from the actors.
In Conclusion , I say that young adolescents begin to experiment with cigarettes
even before they actually see actors on t.v. and there's a great chance they saw someone doing these and when it comes to watching "R" rated movies, children experiment with there own friends and kids there age because they saw it on t.v. or there friends want to see how its feels to do these things.

Blog Entry ( 8 ) The Allegory of The Cave and The Truman Show
After anlyzing the class readings and watching The Truman Show, I think that both compare to each other
because, It seems like the media and nation love the reality that takes place in these shows like Truman and The Jersey Shore. We all want to be tuned in and not miss a thing just like when The Truman show was on 24 hours a day. We want to see what's going to happen next its the thrill of reality and not the fiction.The Jersey Shore people watch because nothing is fiction everything is real and the party's and the drinking always leads to something.Just like in an episode when Snuky got punched in the face and that made the show more populer.
From my experiences, my friends talk about Reality Shows more than what's happening in there live's. It getting to a point where one day t.v. will be nothing but Reality t.v. Every channel you tune into,We the people depend alot alot on something happening to someone and the rults to be negative even if the situation ends up being fatal. I remember having a friend of mine back when I was in High School and getting a dispute over him stealing someone's bookbag, and he telling the other person that he was not the one who took it. Mean while someone in the crowd was yelling hit him, fight him, the other kids just wanted to see something happen.
So, Eventually they began fighting and when the it ended, one of the students said, hey, you left your bookbag in the gymnasium. The media love's when they can provide Reality t.v. to us because that will raise there ratings and more people will watch the show next time.I think that regalur t.v. or fictional t.v. does not cut it no more. Fictional t.v. is in a way similar to Reality t.v. like when something happens, but its not as exciting as Reality t.v. waiting on the next climaxe to happen.

Comparing my life to the life that Christoff created for Truman which was perfect in Christoff's mind.
no violence, minimal chaos, and being stuck in a socluded island sounds horrible.I say no, I would not like to live in a place like seahaven. But sometimes I think of being in a place like that. What I mean by that is with all I have going on know in my life as far as, attending college, working part-time, trying to purchase a home here in queens and dealing with life's obsticles, It can gets very tireyng. Sometimes it feels like I have the world on my shoulders and its getting heavier and heavier..But it takes time and sacrafice to be were one wants to be. So like I said I would not like to live in Seahaven.Cause I want to experience life, I want to go threw up and down's. I see the world just like when Truman wanted to live Seahaven. In the end all I want is to see how far I can go and with me putting 100% into the needs and wants that i desire.

I say comparing Socrate's description of the cave is interesting because been chained and not having a clue how this world can treat you and Socrate's description can be similar to each other..For example life inside the cave is a dimmed light, which is the fire. objects that you can only hear and see through images. Life is wonderful but you never know what you are going to get. Its very scary not knowing how will you survive and how the world will treat you. But, the world is a huge place just like when he left the cave and started to explore new places. Seeing new things and going through experiences make you stronger.
At what stage am I at?...Still chained? I am in a place I though I would never see myself in. Attending college, going through new experiences just like when they released the cave man into the world. Yes, i am in amsement, because when one begings to see the world in a whole different light its wonderful to experience these stages. What evidence supports my claim?. The evidence by coming to LaGuardia and learning and seeing new things is a whole new adventure for me. Going through up and down as far as academically and seeing myself excited just like the cave man when he came back to tell his friends which were still in the cave, how he has seen new things. Where do I think I am. I am in a place were I only can grow, become that person that i always wanted to be. Educated, with a good job and seeing myself grow in time.
Where am I palnning to go...I am planning on going to where my heart takes me.I have a plan and it starts here, I want to see the world and experience thinsg that I thought I would never see. Its makee you think about the life you live and were one wants to be in the future.
