Blog #6: Animal Cruelty

Do you know what animal cruelty is?

 According to the internet animal cruelty is "The infliction by omission (animal neglect) or by commission by humans of suffering or harm upon any non-human." Animal Cruelty

Animal abuse is extremely sad! Animals are living things, just like we are. You know the number of animal cruelty raises every single day. That is frightening. It happens everywhere, including urban and rural areas. Although it can happen to any animal, statistics shows that it is more common in dogs, cats, and horses. These are possible house pets. How could a human hurt another living thing? It is certainly not okay to abuse an animal. Animals are loving and caring when treated correctly. 
  Picture There are websites you can get on and find out more information. (https://www.aspca.org/)For now this pie chart shows enough. People should do anything to prevent any type of abuse toward animals. Please be kind to your pets.

Blog #5: Fresh

Have you wondered where your food is coming from? I never have. I always knew that it was from animals, but I never wondered about the process. After watching Fresh, I realized how disturbing it actually it. It's even sad. There were baby chicks being thrown to the ground like if they're not a living thing. They were extremely mistreated. It made me sad watching that.

Look at these innocent chicks!
The film is trying to convey you to shift your point of view for a different future in the productivity of foods. They want people to stop agreeing with chemicals, just because it cheap and produces 3 times faster. 

There is proof of hoe bad this can be. It involves  e coli (what is e coli) and mad cow. These two are terrible diseases that come from the chemicals. They call it the magic drug. How terrible! To some it works wonders, but it is nothing but negative that comes from our industrial culture. 

People just have to take care of the grass, because that also means taking care of the animal. Yes, organic foods cost more, but they are more healthier and authentic. Meaning they are worth way more than that cheaper stuff. 

I enjoyed watching the film, it taught me more about what goes on behind making food. This film is significant because it educates people about the harm. I believe everyone should worry, but I will leave that up to you.

Blog #4: Suck at organizing?

Have you ever wanted to be productive but you can't because things aren't in order?
Well there is an easy fix for that. There will be 6 steps to keep things organized in your life.
Yes, people live busy lives. They will eventually forget something they had planned throughout
the day. Instead of being disappointed, let's look at these 6 steps to help you be organized.

# 1 : You need to buy a planner, so you can begin writing what you need to have done throughout
the day.

# 2 :  Make a schedule! There is nothing like a well prepared day with a planner. If you plan out
what you want to accomplish in your day. Write down what you need to do and what time it should be done.
Make sure to write down deadlines; therefore you will not turn anything late.
# 3 : Make goals, you will be more motivated to get things done. After reaching
your goals, award yourself for getting things done.

# 4 : A big one is do not procrastinate!!! If you leave everything for last minute,
you are bound to miss some deadlines. That is not a good feeling to feel,
you will feel like you didn’t get anything done.  
# 5 : Color code things. In college, you want to make sure you
can identify your different courses. Maybe make one class orange,
then in your planner whenever you have an important reminder for
that course stick an orange note. You will be able to recognize what class it is for.
# 6 :  Also buy some cheap folders, in different colors, and put your courses names.
Keep all your papers from different classes in the correct folder.

By staying organized you will be able to do better in school. You will also feel motivated
because everything will be nice and neat. I know after a long day of school, I enjoy doing
my homework by having everything organized, resulting in right through all my assignments
and checking them off when they’re done. An example of me rewarding myself after all my
work is done is watching TV and relaxing before I go to sleep. A YouTube video
that can help you keep your notes organized: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7zd2noASo8
