November 30, 2011 Supersize Me People are often drawn by curiosity to experiment with various activities in their lives. In the movie Supersize Me Morgan Spurlock decides to experiment with his own health. He got the idea for the documentary after watching the news about two teenage girls who were suing McDonald’s for making them obese. To discover the true harms of the fast food industry, Spurlock goes on a 30 day long McDonald’s binge. He allows himself to eat nothing but the unhealthy food from this restaurant for a whole month abiding by certain regulations.
Juarez, Mexico a town with a population of nearly 1.5 million people is an up and coming economic city near the Mexican-American border. An average American just as I have buys their SONY LCD television excited about the amazing image, or how great football will look on Sunday. The one thing that does not go though our minds is why is it that I bought this television for cheap? The answer is very simple. There are young twenty something year old woman working in maquiladoras or factories assembling these electronics for more or less $5.00 a day.
A woman helped my sister and I follow along with the chants, a man later translated a nun’s discussion of a documentary we watched, and, in addition, another woman bought us some sandwiches and fruit tea, which I must say was delicious, in the Tea Room. Upon attending the weekly chanting service – held every Sunday at 10:30am – I must record my observations of the ritual itself. When first entering the Temple, an attendee will see three doors. Opening into the Main Shrine room, there are three gold-plated statues of Buddhas. In the center is Lord Śākyamuni Buddha, the Great Teacher of Buddhism.
Shawnett Foster 11/12/2014 To My (White) Friend Dear Jessica, MTV is airing a ton of commercials for their Look Different campaign. I’ve seen ones for Jews, Blacks and Guatemalans. I’m waiting to see if they air one of Native Americans and will keep you posted on the outcome. November is Native American History Month, which is ironic since it’s also the same month the nation celebrates with thanks the conquering of the so-called “New World” by your ancestors (Prichard). That’s how we’re introduced in the history books, like an afterthought.
Even though Spurlock makes many valid points in his documentary, I still believe that the eating habits of Americans today are based on their own choices and they should be responsible for those choices. According to the documentary Super-Size Me by Morgan Spurlock, 60% of adults in America are either overweight or obese. Spurlock decided to make the film when he heard about two teenage girls who filed lawsuits blaming McDonalds for them being overweight. His experiment involved him eating only McDonalds for 30 days to see what would happen to his body. Spurlock decided to follow four main rules during this experiment.

I never knew exactly why I wanted to become a RN, besides the fact I wanted to follow in my dad’s footsteps. Until my grandpa started to go downhill. Before I started going to kindergarten, my dad would always drop me off at my Grandpa’s house while he went to work up at the University of Utah’s Hospital. Our mornings together consisted of going to the Coffee Shop where everyone knew who we were. We would always sit at the bar each morning while Carolyn, our waitress, would bring my Grandpa his coffee and me my chocolate milk.
“You can’t really tell what’s most important so it all becomes important. I would be afraid to change anything. As long as I’m winning, I do everything the same,” said Denis Grossini, a pitcher on a Detroit Tiger farm team, when responding to Gmelch’s question about his ritual of eating tunafish sandwich and taking two glasses of ice tea on each pitching day. Gmelch explained that Denis Grossini always go to the nearest restaurant for two glasses of ice tea and a tunafish sandwich on each pitching day for the first three months of a winning season. In going further, he stated that Grossini always wake up at 10:00 AM and go to the restaurant at exactly 1:00 PM.
“Every Tuesday and Friday morning in a dining area tucked behind Dunkin’ Donuts in the Pentagon’s main food court, a gay coffee group meets to talk, do a little business and tell a few jokes.” “Started quietly by a handful of Air Force officers in 2005, the gathering has grown to as many as 40 people since the repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy last September.” (Bumiller, 2012) This support network that gays in the military started prior to the repeal is stronger today than ever before. During the initial onset of the repeal there was fear of extream actions against the gay members of the military. But according to Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta “My view is that the military has kind of moved beyond it.” Despite the comments of the Defense Secretary there are still cultural issues with military members showing their open gay
