The food unit has been reflected more or less in the stories "The allegory of the Cave", “Truman Show", The Matrix, “Red pill or blue pill”. Writing constantly responses and essays that were based on those stories and movies, I learned a lot of things that are going to be useful in my life. That we are always given choices in our life, and it’s up to us how we want to make our life, to go the right path or the wrong one, to look forward for a brighter future and opportunities or stay in the same place. For example the food, which is an important factor in our life, can be healthy and harmful at the same time. We are the ones who have to decide what it is better for our families and us. Either we don’t care about our health and purchase all the products from supermarkets where most of the food has additives, or we choose to live a healthy life and protect our families by buying organic products that are sold in store like “Farmers Market”.
From the series “The Meatrix” I got to read more about the issues of the food that nowadays is highly processed and contains numerous food additives, plus I learned about the animal welfare and the antibiotics that are making the animals grow faster. It is very sad about what’s happening in the world. It seems to me like the more technology is getting into our lives, the less quality we are giving to ourselves.
I believe that after so much practice, like commenting on Dr.X’s students blog entries plus the CAT practice that we have done in class, I feel more confident about writing the CAT at this moment. But, I feel that I still have to work on developing more my ideas and make them clear for the reader. Maybe by giving more examples from my personal experience that would be related to the topic. Therefore I still hope to do well on the cat and get a good grade.
