America’s vast military, continuously flourishing economy, and foundation that is built upon perceived independence, makes this country a powerhouse. America paints its exterior with the false illusion of honesty and morality. The United States is a classic example of a country that mass-produces items while using cheap materials and fillers. The American government only allows its citizens to know so much about the potentially negative implications that can come from manufactured products. In the process of making specific products, corners are cut so the manufacturer can profit more and save a couple of dollars. The ideological principles of the United States consist of a common belief that is prominent throughout the country. Since the United …show more content…
Companies are only concerned with making profits with higher quantities than offering a safe and quality product for civilians around the world. For example, in the short story “Dawn of the Dread” by Geoffrey Philp, the character Georgie grows weed crops using fertilizer that is imported from the United States. In Georgie's case, the chemical filled fertilizer makes his crops grow faster, but at the same time poisons the herb and turns every person that smokes the weed into a “zombie”. Geoffrey Philip defines the zombies as; “They were still as stiff as though they were dead, and their eyes buldged out of their heads. Their faces were screwed up like they had been eating sour lime for all their lives” (Philp, 15). The weed grown by the other grower, Darren, uses no fertilizer on his herbs and lets the process take however long for it to naturally harvest. They were forced to burn his entire weed and blow it all over the town using fans to cure everybody from the zombie effect. As a result, Darren's crops had a much safer effect on the people who inhaled his marijuana because it was …show more content…
The guidelines of honesty and morality that the United States is so quick to claim they follow, do not always seem to be exhibited in the products that they promote and produce. The fertilizer from “Dawn of the Dread,” was just one example of the real motives behind American production and influences. United States companies only care about making their money even if that means that their product can cause harm on people or the environment. Consumers want a product that they can trust at low price with high quality ingredients. While it can sometimes be hard to create an efficient product at the specific price point buyers want, the consumers should be informed of the danger that can happen from using this product. In the end, Darren and his naturally grown herb was able to cure all of the roaming

Puritans can be executed to death for having connection with the devil through the association of witchcraft . The satan can take possession over the weakest individuals, for example women and children. The opening scene of The Crucible, Arthur Miller creates a scandalous rumor. Betty who is only ten years old was very ill. Parris claim to have seen girls dancing in the forest like pagans, which makes everyone get suspicious and timorous.
Humans are born to be afraid. A feeling of fear is only natural for humans to feel; it is a part of who we are. However, it can be more than just a feeling. Fear can be a weakness in humans even though it is only our natural instinct for survival. Sometimes, fear is so powerful that it can blur our rationality and dominate how we think and what we do.
Throughout American history, propaganda pieces have been used to sway the public opinion on one matter or another. The famous Federalist Papers were used to sway the early American public to ratify the Constitution. The Civil War also heavily relied on propaganda to recruit soldiers and boost morale. At the turn of the 20th century, Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle was written as a propaganda piece on socialism, however, it was remembered for its cometary on the ethics of the meat packing industry.
The last chapter of Edgar Huntly I read was chapter 26, in this chapter we see Sarsefield’s reaction of the events that to place back in Ireland before Clithero fled to America. Sarsefield tells Edgar that he detests Clithero and speaks of him in the same way he spoke about Wiatte. Sarsefield describes Clithero as being “unnatural; devilish; a thing for which no language has yet provided a name.” I found it interesting how Sarsefield’s conversation with Huntly parallels to the conversation he had with Clithero back in Ireland, but now he was describing Clithero in the same fashion. Sarsefield despised Clithero so much for nearly killing Clarise, whom he had mistaken for Mrs. Lorimer, that he “did not want to occupy…the same world with him.”
Breeze desperately wants to solve this murder case and he will do anything to place the blame on someone. One night, Breeze and his partner, Spangler, decide to give Marlowe a visit. Although Marlowe does not invite them into his apartment, they come in anyways and start snooping around. They have no warrant and could get in a lot of trouble if they get caught. The atmosphere of this scene may be uncomfortable, but Marlowe finds a way to add a humorous tone to the situation by giving both on duty officers a drink.
This quote is not spoken, but instead is a thought that passes through Jack’s mind about something Willie said earlier in the chapter. Willie told Jack and Adam that Hugh Miller wanted the one thing that he could not inherit: goodness. He then goes on to explain that humans cannot inherit goodness because they are inherently bad. Since humans are inherently bad, everything good must come from bad. Humans must use their badness in order to create some form of goodness.
“The Crucible” is a fiction story that took place in a small town called Salem in the state of Massachusetts in 1692 during the spring time. The plot of this story is about a group of girls who went into the forest led by a black slave named Tituba. They were all dancing in the forest until Reverend Parris caught them dancing in the forest and even saw one of the girl naked. Parris’s daughter Betty who was there in the forest falls into a coma-like state when Reverend Parris caught them. Reverend Parris only noticed his daughter was sick the next day and accused Abigail William, who is Reverend Parris’s niece, of witchery and caused his daughter to go into a coma-like state.
Of the themes propagating The Crucible, three are prevalent among others. These are Authority vs. Individual Freedom, Abuse of Power, and the Search for self, or internal struggle. Abuse of power is probably the most extensively used theme amongst those three mentioned. Take for example a rather simple conversation between Proctor and Parris, where Proctor implores Parris, “Can you speak one minute without we land in Hell again? I am sick of Hell!”
In the article entitled Monsanto's Harvest of Fear, Donald L. Barley and James B. Steele demonstrate that Monsanto already dominates the United States food chain with their genetically modified seeds. They are currently targeting milk production which is just as scary as the corporation's legal battles against the small farmers. This situation leads to a history of toxic infections or diseases. There were many disagreements between Gary Rinehart and a stranger about the innovative seeds. They were under surveillance and an investigator came in the picture.
The three essays assigned this week had several common threads running through them. The strongest core theme is the rapid change in the food cycle in America and the vast changes that have taken place in the way by which we grow, produce, and process the food that average Americans eat. The food we eat now is drastically different from what our grandparents grew up eating and the three essays each examine that in a different way. Another theme is the loss of knowledge by the average consumer about where their food comes from, what it is composed of, and what, if any, danger it might pose to them. “Monsanto’s Harvest of Fear” by Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele is a harsh look at the realities of food production in a country where large corporations, like Monsanto, have been allowed to exploit laws and loopholes to bend farmers and consumers to their

Both Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” and Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird” are both books that present us with the theme of ‘men of conscience’. John Proctor and Atticus Finch, both fictional characters from the books, are considered to be ‘men of conscience’. A man of conscience is a man aware of the moral and ethical judgements he has a strong desire to do the right thing whenever possible. The life of these men is ruled by their desire to seek the truth and justice in the situations around them; these traits are displayed in both of the characters throughout both the novel and the play.
Fruits and vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet as they provide the human body with nutrients and energy. Without them our bodies may experience digestive and cardiovascular problems, as well as additional chronic diseases and some forms of cancer, thus highlighting their importance (Donvito). When shopping, consumers in search of healthy produce often times pick up contaminated options. They’re contaminated by the very things that aid in their to grow: pesticides and fertilizers. Pesticides are products that are meant to control pest and much like the way we take steps to keep our gardens from pests and disease, farmers use pesticides to save their crops from affliction; this ironically results in crops that aren’t properly suit to be consumed.
