The Meatrix shows the meat consumers how farm animals are treated before being killed. The way factories treat these animals with such cruelty. Just like in the movie The Matrix there is a real world and a world under lies. These animals are not even allowed to walk, all they feed them is hormones and they maintain them on antibiotics to prevent them from having infections. Unfortunately these animals are all put together in the same spot to have more space but these people don’t realize that these animals can get infected with horrible bacteria’s. While some people are against these kind of actions others are in favor, they want these animals to suffer giving them ways to have a growth level more increased therefore the consumers buy these kind of meats thinking they were just raised in a healthy way when it is not true. Once an animal has a bacteria and a human consumes it no matter if the meat is cooked or not the bacteria can get transmitted to someone’s body in an instant but the industries don’t care as long as their product is being purchased and people are consuming it they are fine with it. In The Meatrix they’re trying to stop the animal cruelty but in real life is hard to do so when people don’t motivate themselves in helping.

My experience with the tutor was worthy. She really helped me a lot with the mistakes I was making and explained to me where I was lacking the most. I was a little confused with the claims and reasons but she told me a way to pick them up a little easier. She helped me with blog entry 9 and I knew there were mistakes everywhere, she helped me fix the mistakes and now once I read it is much clearer and understandable. I hope we do get more time with the tutors before the CAT-W because it is easier when you have someone looking over and helping us fix our errors. It is a BIG help and easier to catch up before the big day.

Blog # 9 Argument Essay

Red pill or blue pill? Is ignorance bliss? As shown in "The Matrix" Neo had to decide if he wanted to continue living under lies or was he able to handle the truth. The red pill contained the truth which was hidden from everyone else and the blue pill was just going to bring him back to what he thought was reality. Sometimes I wonder if we can all handle the truth once is really revealed or would it be hard for humanity to accept it just like Cypher?. I think God only knows what kind of mystery we are all living in.

Sometimes I feel like we all are living like “The Matrix”, under so many regulations and disappointments, somewhere where no one knows the truth, and we just try to live day by day. Like for example on the passage there’s  a question stated by the author Christine Cornell “Why do we want to know the truth?” and I ask myself the same question why do we? I understand no one wants to be lied to but how can we find out what is the truth, if what we believe in is really a fact, it is hard when everyone just lie threw anything and has different believes. Also, there is some people who don’t care what reality is they rather live their life even if what their living is not the real actuality.Cypher's view was the same, he pretended to care for himself and his partners but at the ened he had the courage to betray the people who were like family to him. He showed that he couldn't handle the truth and he thought that the right way was to ignore reality.

 In reference to another movie called 2012, they show the viewers things that we are experiencing now, but how did they all know this?. Everyone is full of questions which can’t be answered with a correct response and that’s very unfortunate because we should all live by the truth and we should all have clear minds. In my opinion I think these movies are coming out to give people a hint of the lies we are living in, to give us a clue's of what we’re living in , it is so obvious some people want to open our minds and makes us think beyond a mere myth, but we don’t want to realize how many lies are surrounding us. As mentioned before I would’ve taken the red pill because I believe we have the right to know the truth no matter how difficult it can be to live it. Neo believed The Matrix exist at first but once he knew the truth he felt doubtful about what he was seeing and I think people would feel the same because everyone has their own beliefs not everyone will trust and believe.

In conclusion in my opinion we are all living under many lies, and others are making us believe in things that might not be true, everyone has different believes and no one is in control of changing your way of thinking, but I do believe that we’re living under too many lies and I know sooner or later the truth hopefully will come out just like in The Matrix.

Are you living in the matrix?

I sometimes feel like we are living in the Matrix because we live under so many regulations and so many rules to follow. Most of us do the same thing over and over for example like Truman from the Truman show, wake up go to work come home has dinner and then the next day repeats the same thing. I think most of us are going through the same thing living every day with the same actions work, school, eat, home etc. it does get a little overwhelming when you’re doing the same thing over and over. Now a day it is rare for people to take days off like before because they cannot afford it even thou they know they need that little vacation to focus more. it is unfortunate to know that you work every single day and you can't cover up for a little get away. Every so often I see people in the train in such a rush and I see how desperate they look to me, I think we look like mummies in some sort of way because we never try to change our environment and our daily routine. Unfortunately this is not only seen in America but the whole world seems to be stuck into the same thing daily and it’s unfortunate because kids will grow up doing the same thing. I feel like I am also living under The matrix because I sometimes feel like I don’t have time for anything it is all work and school and I know I’m not the only one feeling this type of way, I feel like an robot just moving from one place to another doing the same thing over and over barely any real time for yourself. I feel like we all are being manipulated and controlled by others who are superior to us, like If we don’t have any freedom of speech or we don’t have the right to act upon our privileges. I think in order for us to break free we need to start opening our eyes and try to change our lives by having a better outcome with our personal lives .

Reality television shows has become more popular on television than any other type of shows, and people keep signing up for these shows just for money. I agree with Timothy Sexton when he states that the “most dangerous message these shows send is that education is unnecessary to fulfill a dream”.Who doesn’t want quick and easy money?

Everyone loves money, especially when all you have to do is compete and for this reason more and more people keep signing up for these reality shows therefore they can have money in a  quicker way, but what they don’t realize is that these kind of shows are setting them on shame. Most of these shows make fun of the people in it and they don’t really care, all they care about is making their money and get over it as quick as possible. Competition might be the key to success but only when people compete towards something that makes sense to compete over. In my opinion most of these reality shows are not even real, they just try to consume the viewer’s time and brain wash them with nonsense. In order to achieve something you must work hard but people don’t believe in working hard anymore, what’s more devastating is that these shows are mostly viewed by the younger generation.

To be honest I am the kind to sit and watch show’s like these, but once I’m done watching them I feel as if it was pointless to watch it, but I can’t imagine how the people who are involved  in these shows must feel knowing that all they’re doing is seeking for fame and money but at the same time they’re just making a fool of themselves. There’s a show called “Love Games” and they compete with one another for money, but all the things they do is shameless, they argue, they hit eachother on national tv and the types of competition they do is beyond discusting.To me these shows shouldn’t even be on t.v where is so easy for kids to find them and get the impression that that’s the right thing to do. It is upsetting to watch these people compete for money this way but what’s even more upsetting is that most of these people don’t even have a college degree. As Sexton states ”Why go to school and face difficulties of learning something when you can just get on Fear Factor eat bugs and walk away with a bucket of money?” unfortunately some people just think this way and go for it but don’t even think “how about if I lose? ” What will happen after my time is done in this show?.
 

In conclusion people are just being obsessive with these reality shows not caring if they’re making a fool out of themselves, all they look for is the fame and money they’re offering. Society is learning from an image they shouldn’t learn from even if you do walk out with a couple of thousands I don’t think it is worth it, after all what will happen if you spent all that money Would the person go and compete once again and make a fool out of them one more time? some people do whatever it takes to have easy money but don't pay attention at the consequences this will bring to them .
