Super Size Me

In the movie Super Size Me one man tries to eat only Mc. Donalds for 30 days. There are some health precautions with eating Mc. Donald's food for 30 days and they claimed that it can be a problem to your health and heart. I don't deny that, but what I don't like is the people that is sewing Mc. Donalds for them being too fat. Well I think it is not Mc D's fault that the people got so fat and unhealthy, instead it is the persons/ peoples fault for eating it. They can choose to not eat Mc Donalds food, and yet people still do, even if they know it is bad for you. So I think it is up to you on what you eat and you shouldn't blame Mc Donalds for your bad food choices.

The Persuaders-word choices

In the movie the Persuaders there was a man talking about the importance of word choices and the right word to use. He found what world to use to capture our interests the most. I agree with him that the right word does make a difference and can change my opinion one way or another. A good example would be with the air liner company Song. When that word, Song, is use for an air liner company it sounds stupid, unrelated to what they do, and makes me not want to know about them just from the name of the company. But on the other hand the Bluejet air liner sound much more cool and interesting and I actually know what their about from the name, it has the word jet in it. So i agree that using the right words or word does make a difference.

Racial Issues

To start off i think race is a hard topic to talk about, it just makes people uncomfortable. with that said I think we as society would like to think that racism has stopped but i think it really hasn't. I also think there are lots of racial stereotypes too. Not trying to be racist but here are some that I have heard, Blacks can run fast and jump high, they are good at football and basketball, and can't swim. On the other hand here are some stereotypes for whites, they cant jump, all like hockey, and are smart. so if these racial stereotypes are still said then we are still racist. Also saying someone is racist is a huge problem in society. People say "that's racist" or "Your Racist" well so, I don't care. Here is a question for you how come black people can say nigger to each other and its fine, but when a white person says it to a black person, even if he was quoting someone, it is the biggest deal ever? So If black people call themselves niggers, then that leaves me to think that they truly are. Just don't say that word white or black, it is wrong to say it no matter what.
