Entry #7: Fresh the Movie

Fresh, is an documentary film show casing the agricultural world here in America. It showed the point of views of farmers and how the agricultural market has become a competition against the big industrial companies. They all talk about how much agriculture has changed drastically throughout the years and how it has affected our foods. They try showing this towards anybody who eats and how it can affect us at home that watch this film. It really caught my attention in how our agricultural really can affect us. I always knew there was problems but never really understood the depth of them. With the use of pesticides on crops, antibiotics being used in livestock, overfilled livestock factories, and many more. What really stuck out to me was one of the farmers talking about how cows are fed dead cows. He mentions several times how one shouldn't mess with mother nature, he gives the example of how herbivores shouldn't eat meat. They should only eat what mother nature in

Entry #4: Concept of a Pet

It's crazy how so many people have pets nowadays. The main ones being cats and dogs but there are also 'exotic' pets, such as snakes, birds, lizards, and so much more. Google 's definition of a pet is, "a domestic or tamed animal kept for companionship or pleasure". It's funny if you think about how one chooses an animal and makes it a part of their family. Myself for example, I have a Chihuahua mix that I got about 3 years ago a day before New Year's Eve. I think it's a funny concept that we as human do. According to an article, The Human-Animal Bond throughout Time , the human-animal bond started about 15,000 years ago but it was more of a 'win-win' situation. Animals provided protection and some type of service to people while humans provided food and protection as well. To this day people still offer these services to their pets but some may now go beyond that, such as buying luxuries and gifts for these pets. Some examples:

Entry Two: One of the Hardest Jobs One Can Do

I believe being a mom is one of the most difficult jobs one could do. Whether you're birthing your baby or not you still have so much to get ready for the arrival of this baby. As well as, any other responsibilities you may already have it can become a lot on your plate. Even before having your baby, you already have a hard job to do. If you're birthing your baby, you already have the difficult job of growing him/her. Your body changes both physically and mentally. You also have the job of getting everything ready for the arrival for your baby; keeping up with doctors appointments, getting a car seat, taking any classes if needed, etc. I'm expected to have my first baby girl this July 2023. I am excited for her arrival but there is so much work to get done before she gets here. It comes with a bit of stress and a lot of hard work but I would do this all over again in a heartbeat. I've already grown and learned a lot about becoming a mom as well as myself

What I Learned About Blogs

There are so many blogs all over the internet. All these blogs talk about so many topics that almost anyone can find one that talks about their interests. To find blogs interesting, you have to look for those that talk about topics that have to do with your interests. After looking at a few blogs, one that I found interesting was Billboard . It talks about music and talks about the music that is currently trending. Unlike Billboard, a blog I didn't quite find interesting was Yahoo! Sports . This was due to sports isn't a topic I find interesting, therefore, it didn't really catch my attention and I wasn't on their site for too long. You just have to find blogs that you find interesting and that best suites you. There are so many interesting blogs for one to look at, it's all just part of finding one you like!
