Food Inc

After watching the movie Food Inc, I remembered that I didn't want to eat fast food at that moment. I found that food becomes very unhealthy which just become products and made with assembly line.  The food Inc makes food and gives consumers a very good view in supermarket or good taste in restaurant. But people don't know what's the truth that behind these nice taste and good package. For the animals, most of them will just be farmed in the factory, and people make them be fat and have more meat to sell and eat.  Some animals such as hens, they just feed as fat as they can, and some of them even can’t stand up. That’s so cruel for the animals. And if they are sick, they also may have some bacterium, people who collect the chicken don’t mind if they are sick, so people may eat a chicken with bacterium.  We’ve already know food is made by the machine, but I also found that people who work in the industry are also like machine, they do the same work every day and have less money.  That’s also cruel for people. Even though, there are a lot of disadvantages of Food Inc, we still need to eat their food because we need food. That’s sorrowful.

My favorite word

I think about my favorite word for a while and I think the word--shanghai is very special for me. Because English is not my first language and shanghai is a word that have the similar pronunciation. That's very interesting word for me and it's also a word which easy for me to remember. Shanghai is a modern city in China. Look! There are many tall buildings in this city. But it also saves a lot of old buildings to save the history of the city. More importantly, the food in shanghai is delicious, I can eat a lot of fodd from different foreign country but I also can eat some delicious shanghai snack. These snacks are special and have the taste of home. The other reason this word is special for me is that Shanghai is the city which I have lived for 18 years. My parents and grandparents lived in shanghai. I also have lot friends in Shanghai. I had a good memory in Shanghai. I remember that when I had Toefl test, there is a question that describe the city you living, shanghai is the city I living, Shanghai is my favorite English word and shanghai is also my home.

    I found more information and articles about my research topic this week. I wrote some evaluation for most of them. I think I have enough information and articles now but I don’t know how to arrange them to my assignment. I also found some visual elements to support my argument, but I don’t think it is very relevant to my topic. I need to find some other visual elements. I have presented my topic to my friends, they think it’s very popular topic but it’s difficult to stay at one side to argue. So, I feel uncertain about this assignment and I may go to take different position to evaluate both advantages and disadvantages of video games but mainly evaluate the bad side of video game addiction. I found that an essay of 2500 words is a little difficult for me. I think I need to go to writing center and get some advice.

Research Log2

I changed my research topic: the impact of video games contains the video game addiction. 
I think technology is a very large area, so I changed my topic to video games. I think that's a very hot topic and I can find a lot of information on the website, news, and books. I found many articles about video games. They are mainly about the impact of video games and the definition of video game addiction.
According to the work that I have done, I think that I can argue about that for 8-10 pages and  I may take different position to evaluate both advantages and disadvantages of video games but mainly evaluate the bad side of video game addiction. Because I found that there are too many serious problems of video game such as social isolating, confusing of fantasy or reality and even people’s health. I also found some study, statistics and experiment to show the impact of the video games. These research can be very powerful proof to prove my argument.
I need to think about how to allocate these information and write more my opinion about this topic.

I have decided my topic: If technology development is totally good for people?

Nowadays, technology is around us everywhere. I thought about this topic long time ago. When I went to a party with my friends, there was a moment that everyone just looks at their cellphone for going on internet, playing game or sending messages. Then, I start to think about this topic. Because of technology develop a lot; people may think that people are convenient to talk with each other. But people become not talk face to face. So, if it is really closer the relationship between people.

I don’t know if I can argue about that for 8-10 pages so I may take different position to evaluate both advantages and disadvantages of technology. I can easy to found resource on the internet such as the background of apple stores or Facebook and other chat. But I think I need to make my topic to be specific. Because technology have very large area and I need to choose one products or one tools to evaluate.

That’s a hot topic that many people may have talked about that. I need to conclude other’s ideas and figure out something to make the main idea be new.
