Blog 7: The Heroic Choices in The Matrix

I think that some of the important decisions that Neo had to make throughout the movie started when he decided to follow the rabbit. He did cause' he was curious to find out where it leads to since he was bored of being in his appartment hacking so he wanted to know what the person on the other side of the pc was trying to tell him by following the rabbit. Another important decision that made him curious was when Morpheus offered him the pills, so he had to decide whether to leave or stay in the matrix in order to find out the truth about him. In fact, most the important ones are when he decide to save morpheus sacrifying his life which made him become a real hero. Also, when he saved Trinity from dying when the helicopter was gonna colapse to the ground that Morpheus said he is tarting to believe in himself. At last, when he died and had to come back from death that without any doubts made him the hero cause' everybody realized that he was the one who was going to save the world.

Blog 4: "The Allegory of the Cave"

In passage The Allegory of the Cave talks about prisoners that were living in a cave from their childhood, having their legs and necks chained as if they were slaves excluded from their rights so that they couldn't either move or, see what was before them. Furthermore, they were prevented by the chains from turning round their heads, which means that they were living in a world of illusions where they didn't know about the real world outside the darkness that waited for them. In fact, as the story went by, it explained that one the prisoners escaped from the cave and discovered that the world he used to live in under the ground was only an illution of what he thought the real world looked like.So when the man saw the light outside of the cave, he couldn't see anything for awhile because the man was living in the dark almost for his entire life. After the man was capable to open his eyes, he couldn't believe in what he was seeing because he never imagined that the life he was living in the cave was just a lie. 

blog:2 hype

           According to the article "Hype" by Kelle Lasn discusses that ads are everywhere or on everything we watch on TV, listen to the radio, or see on walls and post while walking on the streets are filled with a logo or product massage.  the article also said that are just to affect us pursuing our feeling or more simple change the ways we think toward ourselves. in other words, ads are to distract our attention and make us spend money and time.
           The article states that "advertisements are the most prevalent and toxic of the mental pollutants." It means that advertisements and logos are everywhere to catch our attention on TV commercials, the internet, shop windows, and much more. Making people's minds desire their products. For instance, when we see anything cheap, we want to buy it affecting our pockets. Another example is that in the ad for Gatorade an athlete is drinking a bottle of Gatorade and it makes him or her become more powerful showing you that if you try it, you are going to become as powerful and full of energy as the athlete is. As a result, this is similar to the article because it shows how ads take over our minds and make us feel like weak if we don't buy it. So believe it or not, advertisements change our attitudes toward ourselves and affect us in some ways our thinking manners, which is bad because we spend money and time.
           Moreover, the article also points out that "your kids watch Pepsi and Sneakers ads in the classroom. The author is trying to say that ads makers don't care about anybody's health because they keep making more and more ads that even in schools our children are exposed to see ads when they should be focus and learning instead. This makes our children become fond of unhealthy food like Pepsi and Sneakers, which are easy to consume and contains a high percent of calories and oil that damage our hearts. For instance, I watched in the morning news like two months ago that one of the reason why we are seeing our kids getting overweight at very young ages is the bad food they eat when go to Macdonald's after school due to all the ads they see in the classrooms, hall ways and even at the school's GYM when they are working out. According to the article, ads are everywhere even in schools damaging our kids health which is similar to my example. In fact, I understand that we need ads but in these days they are too much out of control overwhelming our lives styles.
           In conclusion, the article "Hype" explains that ads in north America are very annoying and mentally stressful because they are everywhere you put your eyes. As a result, I suggest the government to pay more attention to this problem banning many of them which have become worldwide. Affecting our society, cultures and the way we live nowadays. I hope that people by reading this article be more aware and help fix this situation.

blog 1: "How to do one thing at time"

       The article "How to do One Thing at a Time" states that multitasking is a bad habit because when we do it, we tend todo things wrong or less productive than when we do one thing at a time in other words, the article explains that when we multitask , it limits our ability to think faster and effiently.
        first of all, the article refers to " a experiment where a group of student where asked to spend 30 minutes simultaneously compiling a music playlist, chatting and writing a short essay. The group who focus on each test individually for 10 minutes did better than their multitasking peers." It demostrate that when people focus on one thing at a time when do much more better because when our brain is performing in sequence we worse than we expected. For instance, when i'm at my job, i use to check paper work for trucks to pick up merchandise. So every time i do two or three papers at the same time i wind up making a mistake either the merchandise was wrong or i misscaount the product. There for doing many things at the same time isn't helpful like i said before because our brains don't work properly as it should.
