THE REAL POST # 13 !!!

What does it mean to be an "informed citizen?"  If more people were "informed," what would that mean for our local community and our country?

To be an informed citizen is a person that knows what is happening in its community and is informed on everything.  I think this person is a kind of person doesn't likes to be told by other people, but they go on and investigate and go into depth until they find out the truth.  A good example of this would be people that study and analyse what is going on with the government because they don't believe what the new tell them or the news paper but they go and do research to really find out what is going on.

   If more people were informed i think  this country would change and the whole world would have a Big Impact!  If more people were informed i think we would be able to have a better future for our children and the generations to come.  I think that if more people were involved on what is going on in their community they will have a big change a good example of this global warming.  if the people really knew what they cause when they don't recycle and how that can pollute our world then they will make a change.  An informed citizen is a person that is out there and trying to find stuff that are hidden.  This happens a lot in laws many people don't know their rights and that is why they are informed citizens because they not only informed them selves but they work hard to informed other people.

*****Ms. McCarthy I couldn't get to the articles some were blocked and others it took for ever to load**** This was the same issue for Sadia****


I think that an informed citizen is a person that knows everything that is happening in its country or around the world. I think is a person that is always paying attention to the news and what is happening, i think that these types of people don't let other people come and tell them what to do, i think that they investigate by them selves and go and research and try to find every single detail of the problem.
If more people were informed i think this world would be way different! there are many things that are hidden form the people that make up this country and I think that if people knew their rights and all that the government is doing secretly this country would have a different way to see things. I also think that if we really knew what is going on with global warming we would be more considerate with our planet.

2.- yes, I think that fast food restaurants should be held responsible for obesity problem in the US because the only thing they care about is to make some profit. I believe that is up to the customer too, to be responsible too, because they should have some self control over them selves. The majority of time is that the companies fault bacause they would never care for their customers; a good example of this is that McDonald's salad, people think that just because it has lettuce and tomatoes is healthy but the realty is that it has more calories than a regular burger.
4.- I think that most people are getting woried because more people are diyng of their overweight problems while there is still the starvation problem, I think this concerns many people. At least for me; is hard to think on people that just died bacause they consumed many fats and they got a heart atack, while others are diynd bacause they don't even have clean water to drink

When i was reading the book Feed i had a lot of AHA!! moment i thought this was pretty cool because i learned a lot and figure out thing that i wasn't sure about, like i heaved always wondered how the world was going to end but when i read the book Feed i figure that it was just going to affect the humans and the world.  not like i though that some day you were going to go to sleep  and then never will wake up, well that is what many people say and they are many saying but i try to stay way from then, but the good thing is that i learned something in this book. so that  is why i think if i had the opportunity to keep studding this i will study the end of the world i think is pretty interesting and is a lot of mysteries.

Feed #9

-When i read the book feed i think that they are pretty content with their feed i think that they are so use to it that they are not going to be able to live with out it, is just part of their nature to have it and that the feed thinks for them that they are not going to be happy when they are without it like when they went to the moon and they had the accident.  it looked like they were going crazy.

-When i read the book it looked like it was more like inappropriate behavior than good behavior, for us their behavior is pretty dumb but for them  it comes very natural.  I thought about their parent but the truth is that they are the same as them,  a good example of this is Titus dad he acted like a teenager instead of a business man.

-The only normal person that i see in the book is Violet, she is the one that is always following rules and that thinks and uses her brain instead of the feed.  The rest of the them, i could say, they go with the flow.

-The way they talk is pretty strange instead of using friend or guy they use (unit) and they are always going on Mal so that is kind of normal for them.  Another thing that i saw is that they use a lot of cursing even the parents like Titus dad.

in page 125 in the book Feed talk about they took down a forest and they made an air factory instead of having natural air.  When i read this was pretty shocking, i thought to my self how can people live without any air but later i found out thy had air factories.  I understand what  Violet was saying  because she is the only one that looks normal to us but when i think of the people that have the feed is like they don't even care, the feed has taken over their minds that they cant even think that air is a good thing for us the human beings, like Titus dad took it very normally.  If i had to ''blame'' someone or say that they are responsible for it would be the feed or the creators of the feed like I've said before they are taking up their mind it looks like they want to have control over them.
