Blog # 14 The New Industrial Migrants(part II)

        Migrants everywhere in U.S.A.Because of unemployment they come here. A lot of problems for them.In the article' The New Industrial Migrants"Eric Schloser states that immigrants would work for less money and without have health insurance. The article shows us that office, runs  ads and radio stations  offering a lot of jobs in US.The article shows that slaughterhouses can be much higher and illegal immigrants can work in meatpacking like a dog for less. GFI  on the other hand drove workers from Texas to Minnesota for plants to Minneapolis in bad conditions only for their gain.Working like a dog is bad for illegal immigrants because they can work for less money and without health insurance.                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Working too much for less is a minus for immigrants.It is true when people don't have money to raise their families they can work so hard and they can sacrifice everything. They don't care about their conditions but they care to have a job and to have some little money in their wallet.They sacrifice to be illegal immigrants only to raise their families.As  the article said that "immigrants would work for lower wages than American citizens", it is true . They can have higher salary because of illegal. On the other hands this is America's interest and not immigrants interest.Coming immigrants from Europe years ago I realized that they can have they really job they can work for less money For example if a American construction worker has a check payment  $ 250 and  works  less while an  illegal immigrant has a down payment $ 100 and hard work.My example shows that nobody helps and gives more to them. Another idea from the article is true that"one- quarter of all meatpacking workers are illegal and proportion at some slaughterhouses can be much higher", it is true when illegal immigrants want jobs from the first they come to America they don't care what kind of job it is they care only to work and earn some money.It is true  working in  meatpacking,  slaughterhouse  it  is to hard.The more they work the less they work.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Not only do immigrants earn less money, but they also are without  health insurance.Without a document you can't do anything.Spending the money for health it doesn't work .Where is the gain? No where. GFI and America  can't afford to them insurance because of expensive and of deal.It is true when the author shows that"Poor workers drive up local medical costs"The check up for illegal immigrants  to the  doctors cost an arm and a leg.How about others? It is expensive. The most money they spend to the doctors when they need their services.For example months ago a relative came from Greece.He used to work in construction .Latter on he had an stomach pain .In Queens hospital he paid around $5000 for all his services. My example shows that without health insurance it is impossible.The money goes tho the doctors .                                                                                                                                                                                In conclusion I have to emphasize that working as a dog for little bit it is dangerous because  the health can ruin . The state and the big companies should help immigrants in a better way and should care more for these immigrants who struggle themselves to earn money for their families without any price.

Blog # 13 XXXL: Why are we so fat Book 1 : the Fattening of America

 In the article "The fattening of America"Eric Finkelstein and Laurie Zuckerman argue that Americans start to be fat because  food has got  cheaper  and fattening food has become bargain.between 1983 and 2005 the cost of fats and oils declined 16 %.The article shows that before ice cream and soft drink reserved for special occasions today is the number one in their list.At the end the article sticks with the idea that the lower price of the food make Americans fat.I disagree with the article because it's not the cheap food that make people fat but other things do that.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          People eat a lot junk food and exercise too little. It is true in this days people eat too much, without a schedule  and cause to them to gain too much weight and they don't exercise .Lack of exercise causes obesity for them. Neglectfulness make them not to pay a lot attention in their body and as a result they don't exercise and they get fat.Even at work when they eat don't movie to another table 'space or restaurant but they eat in the same space where they work.My close friends is almost in the same situation. She eats all day long a lot of junk and when she see her self overweight she think to exercise.My example shows that people have to think about themselves and to make a nice schedule and a combination eating + exercising  because of that they can care about their body.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Some illness make people fat. Theroide is one of the illnesses that makes people fat.Even tough people have a strong diet they cannot stop the fattiness.My mom for many years suffers from theroide Even though she eats little bit the theroide causes to her fattiness.It is true sometimes we cannot do nothing to stop from getting to fat.   

     In conclusion I want to say that junk food and different illnesses make people fat.People should take care for themselves and select food that is the best for them because of this they can stop they body to be fat and they can be healthy.

                                 How Your Cell Phone Hurts Your Relationship                                                                   
                 Technology  can connect us to the world, but in the same time can separate us from each other. How in touch we are with each other? How the cell phones effect our relationship and why? In the article" How Your Cell Phone Hurts Your Relationship" Helen Lee Lin states that using a cell phone or having nearby can harm our relationship. From Weinsteins' experiment between pairs of strangers results that presence of the cell phone impacted lower relationship quality and can affect on interpersonal relationship which can lead in less trust and empathy in situation in which the participants discussed something meaningful or casual.At the end, the author advises that we should forget for little bit the cell phones and spending a lot of time with people who we care and communicate with them face to face.Using a lot cell phone hurts us because we forget to communicate face to face, leads less trust and empathy and lower relationship quality.                                                                           Using the cell phone we forget to communicate face to face.The relationship will gradually begin to fall apart once the text messages has been reached , because text ting can go too far . Texting, calling or Skype are not the same as talking face to face because by texting our thoughts are short. It is okay to text sometimes but when it is always cause problems in the relationship, it can lead in misunderstanding. I remember many years ago my best friend always was busy and for her was easy to text, send pictures,to write comments or Skype.For me was the opposite because I hated the  text messages. Not only that but I couldn't spend time to write.I figure out that my relationship was a text messages and not communication face to face.My example shows that I like to communicate face to face  with the person who I am talking and to see the facial expression like smiling because of that I can satisfy my conversation. It is true when the author say that "Cell phone usage can reduce our social consciousness",because cell phone can reduce our relationship in misunderstanding which lead in separation.I can say that wide spread of cell phone and text messages are hurting humans communication , not help it.                                                                                               Cell phone can lead in  less trust and less empathy.Texting a lot can lead in disrespect,short conversation and dislike. I remember last month my friend and me after class we went to the restaurant for pizza. During our conversation another friend sent to her a  link on Facebook. She was distracted by the link ,  was laughing and was texting to her friend.Because of that situation fast I ate the pizza and I said to my friend I was leaving .From that day I never went to eat with her. I understood that her action was disrespect.I cannot trust her anymore and I feel empathy for her. This example shows that when someone doesn't care for you or not respect you , you feel less trust and don't like him/her anymore and you try to be short in any conversation.Disrespect for each other can lead in less trust and less empathy.As the author mentions that "cell phone presents less empathy and less trust ", it is true Respect in relationship is the most important , but replace with a message or link is disrespect.                                                                                        
                 Finally cell phone leads in lower relationship quality.Having a cellphone nearby during the day with friends  leads in poor relationship.Imagine a couple  who have a conversation and the wife needs some advice from her husband . He doesn't pay attention on her conversation because he is distracted from his cell phone which is on the table and  his answer is What did you say? My hypothetical example shows that Having a cell phone nearby make our relationship  poor. When this kind of situation take place in our relationships  our relationships go away.As the author mention that "simply having a phone nearby without even checking it , can harm the relationship", it is true people give importance  cell phone than their relationship and as a result their relationship leads in poor and not closeness.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                In conclusion I want to say that Helen Lee Lin is right that people can prepare for important conversations and throw their cell phones into the closet or leave in the car and spend the day with people you really care about , because of this they can have a good and strong relationship.

Blog# 11.Happy meals.

        Eating is the most important for everyone especially when we are talking about health.
In the article" Happy Meals" Pollan's suggests us different ways for eating better and healthy.                                                                                                                                                                                                     To begin with possibilities for me and me family I really have to say that eating is the most important for our health.Back to my country Albania eating fresh  and healthy food was possible.We used to plaint a lot of vegetables in our garden . We used to produce our oil olive . We used to have our farm with animals which milk, meat and eggs were fresh and because my father was fisherman we use to eat fresh fish .As you see our food was fresh and healthy,  but by the time  when we came here we try to stick with our tradition.We try to shopping and pay more in Greek supermarkets such as Titan and Mediteranio  because of a very nice quality of   fresh food and to  avoid rotting food . Also in our small garden we plant every year vegetables.We use to eat home food because of this we can avoid illnesses and we can be healthy.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Not everything is possible for me and my family to have fresh food exist impossibility in New York.As the Pollan mention in the number 5 and 6 shopping in the supermarkets is important and is impossible to avoid them. Even  thought we can have some fresh food we  still need some other groceries .After a nice dinner we need to eat a sweet which we can buy it in the supermarkets. Sometimes we have to go in many supermarkets to by all our staff we need it.But I always I try to buy the best because is all about health.                                                                                                                                                                
            Even thought I used to eat fresh food sometimes is hard for me to stick with a tradition food because our curiosity make us  to tray other  food like yogurt  or cereal or sometimes we like to eat in restaurants which their food is not as fresh as we think .They don't care about our health ,they care about  their business and about money. Really I can say we try hard our food to be healthy and looks  like the some as back home.We should eat healthy.

Blog # 10 : Manufactured Demand.

             Myth : "Bottled water tastes better than tap water."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              That's not true. The water doesn't have taste.In Albania in all my life I used to drink tap water and when I came here I started to drink bottled water. I didn't see any difference between them.I think that companies business and a lot advertisement make people crazy about water and they think that bottled water tastes better than tap water.                                                                                                                                     As the article said that"Whether one tastes better than other- it's how our tastes are shaped by advertising.We not only buy their myth, it turns out we pay extra for them."  That true people spend a lot of money to buy bottled water.They think it is the best.I don't think so.Exist a big advertisement which make people to think like that.  Last week I went to B.J for shopping. Was crazy day.A lot people were shopping bottled water. I shocked and I was curious about this action. I took a advertisement block from B.J. In the first page was a big advertisement about water  and I understood that buying 60 bottled of water you have $2 off.My example show that people pay  attention to advertisement and they buy more water than other food.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Blog # 9 Part 1 : Summaries of the films : The Meatrix, The Meatrix Revolting and The Matrix II 1/2 Part II : Responding to a factory Farming Issue

                                               Part #1  Summary                                                                            
    In the film "The Matrix" we see a conversation between Leo (pig) and Moopheus (caw). Leo wants to know what is the Family farm .Moopheus offers to him two pills Red (the truth) and the blue (the fantasy ) He take the red pill and understood that where the food comes from . He understood that milk, eggs and meat comes from factory farming which keeps these poor animals to live in cruel condition that cause disease and to keep these alive give to them a lot of antibiotics.All this can cause an epidemic that we cannot stop which affect the humans health.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             The film "The Matrix revolting" shows that how cows with injections and artificial way  growth hormone. Also this film show us that calves are separated from their mothers and the modern factory feed them with milk replacer  made from cow's blood.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      The film "The Matrix II 1/2" shows that  how the "Happy Farm"can process 5.000  caws in a day to make fast food nation.In the some time explain that meal packing is the most dangerous food.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Part # 2    Food Safety                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         The article "Food Safety" states that million people get sick from unsafe food. Unfortunately the dangerous production and the industrialized ways that are producing food  cause the problem about it..Governments regulation, obligation of corporate food producers and separation  their stranglehold on the food system are key steps for a improvement on food safety.                                                                                                

      One big problem  is that unsafe food  is dangerous.  As the article shows us that "50 million people get sick , more than 100,000 hospitalization and 3,00 deaths from unsafe food" means that we have to be careful about our food .The industrialized ways of food  and as we saw at the "Matrix"  make us to worry, about our health.With this big numbers it is  easy to say that death is around us.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Bacteria it is also another factor for unsafe food.At the Matrix revolting we saw that with injections and artificial ways we grow hormone,   nice food and cheap,but the way it taste is different .This can contain bacteria which are dangerous for humans The way that factory farming  raise the animals and the different antibiotics that they take can cause a lot of illness for people . Also the article mention that spinach eggs ground turkey have resulted in hundred illnesses because of the way they are produced .Imagine a lot of injections and a lot of pesticide who the workers using to produce food that mean a lot of mister about food  .I remember years ago in my country was a big epidemic. Even though state tried to save them was impossible For making a lot money from hundred cows farmers butcher them but many of people died from that meat.My example shows that a lot of bacteria and virus case hundred death.                                                                                                                                                                                                                   in conclusion I want to say because food in important for peoples health should the government make strong rules and people try to find nice, fresh and healthy food.  
                          

Blog # 8 Midterm Reflection

Writing an essay is not easy ,especially when English is a second language.We have to think about how to use the words to make sentences,how to write a good organization,how to connect our ideas and which transition words we can use and the most important is how we can manage our time during a catw  essay.During my class ENG 99 with Dr Gallardo I learned a lot. After many essay in this class I can say that my best essay is "Hype "  I am proud about this essay because I think I liked the article and was easy for me to express ideas in this essay.Not only that but I think I had good organization and good body paragraphs The examples and the ideas from article were used good and I had good explication.                                                    
     
                                        Writing a lot essay during this class helped me a lot to practice my basic writing skills.The summary of the different articles and the thesis statement helped me a lot to develop my basic writing skills.During this class a learned new things and I learned to organize my thought and my knowledge better than it used to be. .First, I learned that passing a catw essay we need to write at list an introduction,  short and good summary, 3 body paragraphs, and nice conclusion .Second, I learned that a body paragraph contains Topic sentence, evidence + explanation, explain of evidence and a nice conclusion.Third , I learned how to write nice claim + reason ( thesis statements). We worked in groups and discussed many ideas about different topics .Fourth, I learned to finish my writing in 90 minutes Not only that but we practiced in the same time many topics and prepare for ENG 101.                                                                                                                              

       
                                           During the next four to five weeks I will concentrate more in the grammar and vocabulary because I think is my issue.Having  ideas in your mind is easy but writing them on the paper is so complicated.Another important thing is I will read different essays and I will concentrate more in developing of the paragraphs.                                                                                                                                                                          
           
                                       In conclusion I strongly believe that Dr Gallardo had played a positive role in catw writing essays.All her advises  will be a wheel man in my education .

Blog # 7 People want to know

Most of the people want to know the truth rather than to live in ignorance. Many questions come around and  What if I do this ? or Why this or that? Most of the people are not philosopher or scientists, but some  are so curios about everything and they prefer to know the truth than be an uninformed. Knowing the truth give us the ability to make choices and investigate and take a risk. Nobody know what is going to happen. People like to know the truth . As I saw at the Matrix , Neo asked Morpheus  about The Matrix. Morpheus explain that all am offering is the truth , nothing more but  by taking the red  pill Neo understood the truth about Matrix (a computer generated) he filed  it  the "real world" who blind him from the truth ,dream world of the Matrix.He made his decision  and he deal with it. At the comic  movie "The Shadows Of Life" people didn't  know anything about life but only shadows.When a person told to them  that wasn't life but only shadows and darkness and took them out of the cave  they understood that exist sun and real life.                                                                                      

           Sometimes knowing the truth gets us out of our comfort zone and make a decision a practical choice but sometimes are certain things which are better know , so as to avoid exploitation.Everybody knows that hurricanes are dangerous and people have to deal with them. as I remember last year with hurricane Sandy. People knew that Sandy will be dangerous and for that people made many preparation to protect and survive from this hurricane and some other people lost their life to to help other people. My example shows that when people know what is going to happen they decide to protect themselves and if is possible to help other people .At the "Matrix" when Noe went to Oracle , she spoke confidently and tolled Neo he was not the One .Instructing him and tolled to him that soon  he will make a decision between his own life and Morpheus's life.She claims that Morpheus will willingly give his life for Neo. Knowing the truth Neo decided to help Morpheus and to risk his life. That is true knowing the truth before happen we make quick decisions.

             
             In conclusion I want to emphasize again the people are the most curios humans  being who want to know and decide about everything and deal with everything.

Blog # 6 http://www.nytimes.com2014/04/21 opinion/the public- health-crisis-hiding-in-our-food.html?ref...

People like to eat different food.Some use to eat at the restaurants almost every day and others eat home food .Eating a lot that's mean people consume  too much sodium.In the article "The Public Health Crisis Hiding in Our Food"Tomas A. Farley shows that consuming too much sodium raises blood pressure and heart attacks.The article shows us that sodium is killing a lot of people.Experts recommend less milligrams of sodium.  The reasons why everyone eats too much sodium is because our food is fool salt.The article shows that even though blubbery muffins are sweet they contain double salt than potato chips or vegetables juice contains over 500 milligrams.Restaurants  use more sodium than is recommended and the food industry too.In the other hands doctors recommend people to eat less salt because of blood pressure. The British data shows that reducing the salt people dying from heart diseases and stroke and a few scientific crises have been in conclusion that reducing salt is risky because can increase mortality.Twenty-one companies trying to put less sodium in common products but some other company ignore the idea about salt.At the end the article advises the federal government to start and fix this important problem for saving a lot of lives.

Blog 5 Truman and Me

In the article  "The Truman Show"Jim Carry shows that Truman Burbank main character of the movie lives in an artificial world constructed especially for him.Truman  born and raised in Seahaven  works in a insurance company.Every day he see the same people, and live unhappy with his wife.Tired from this life he wants to get way by going to Fiji to find his love a college girl named Silvia who is trying to fix her face in the office and  supposedly lives there.Trying to go there by bus or flights it is impossible but taking the boat he comes up against difficulties and finally he discovered stairs. He realized that his life has been manipulated but Christofer his producer "father" who tried one more time to dissuade him but by repeating his catchphrase "In case I don't see you good afternoon, good evening and good night" he gives end to his artificial life to get freedom.I agree with the Truman show because everyone doesn't like to be obedient but likes to live free and have a normal life.                                                                                                                                                             To begin with sometimes we have to accept subordination.Born and raised in Albania seems like Truman's life.For 40 years from 1945- 1985 Albanians used to live in  dictatorial rules by leader of Albania Enver Hoxha. His rules such as elimination of the opposition, death penalty or long prison and evacuations from their homes and internment in remote villages were strictly controlled by secret police. People were afraid to talk and express their ideas about movies or news. They were talking to each other about unimportant things or stories. People were afraid to weir good because others will ask  ,Where did you buy this? and there was no answer. People were afraid to think differently.They always knew and believed in what the saw a life full ignorance about culture, tradition, customs and religion for other states ,ignorance about media and education..Even thought there were best students no one had the opportunity to study in the best college in Europe or U.S.A.his power eliminated adults illiteracy and learned Albanian toward become agriculturally and self-sufficient.My example show that people couldn't live free .Unity, struggle and negation for education and religion guided their lives for 40 year. This life ended in April 1985 when Enver Hoxha died.People started to think differently They went in different states such as Greece, Italy, Germany, England, U.S.A for freedom and better life.Living in a cave such as communism gave people less opportunity for everything , a lot of stress and struggle.                                                                                                                                                                  Living in communistic dictatorship gave to me less opportunity to learn on time.After I finished High school I couldn't study  in the major I wanted ( teacher elementary school )even thought I was one of the best students in High school because of the system. On the other hand my parents had to work hard to support my necessities for(food, clothes and books) and I couldn't help my self because they were no jobs and because of schedule of the school full time.After graduated from University I started work. Working as a teacher elementary school in 1-4 grade I learned that my students had the best opportunity to study what they want and where they want.Opportunity to learn a lot languages and to study in public and private schools that in my years of education didn't exist  because of system.Coming  in New York 5 years ago because tired of the situation in Albania gave me opportunity to learn and explore a lot of things in the world.I met different people,I learned new languages,new cultures tradition and religions.I leaned new rules and best opportunities in education .My example shows that freedom is a big opportunity for everyone , opportunity  to think and live free.                                                                                                            

Blog 4 "The Allegory of the Cave"

In Platos "The Allegory of the Cave", Socrates tells a story to his student Glaucon to explain that we live       unexamined life, we live a closed life, always on the same level of knowledge, near being able to increase that knowledge.They are illusion,are created by our culture society(by those who benefit-from keeping us ignorant) and we believe these illusions to be "real", "true".When we are given knowledge, we become free of these illusions but gaining knowledge is a slow, painful process.Gradually, we become wise, when we try to explain what we learned, what is "real" (true and right) to others, we feel because they deny or cannot understand the truth.They conclude  that the knowledgeable person is ridiculous, stupid or crazy and dangerous.I agree with the author because people are  afraid to fight to mix with different cultures and lazy to learn.                                                                                                                                  
   To begin with people are afraid to fight, to mix with different cultures and lazy to learn . All people around the world know that Greece is in an economic crisis.Two years ago my older sister who lives in Greece decided to come in New York because of unemployment.She shocked when she saw a lot of population, highways, wonderful stories,and the beautiful places in Manhattan.She couldn't adapt in American's life and culture.She wanted to go back to live easy even thought the situation in Greece was bad. My sister's example shows that some people even thought have opportunity to live and work in other development places, they are afraid to clash with the reality. They like to live in shell, like in small cities without try to learn new things around the world. They don't know and they don't like to have knowledge about development countries.They are afraid to learn and  live the new life.

Blog 1

By comparing  these essay I learned that a good organization and a nice development can be a good way to pass the catw . Reading a lot essays,  I learn how to write a response, I gain a lot of  knowledge in writing and I learn  that I have to work hard to improve my  essay.

blog 3 of I know the Truth, So Don't bother Me with Facts.

Rumors, rumors, rumors,everywhere.They are part of our lives.We discus and listen them every day.Do you think rumors are dangerous or just stories ?Do you think  people are interesting about [interested in ] them and still believe in them? In the article " I know the Truth, So Don't  Bother Me with Facts", Jeffrey Kluger explains that how humans have long been trick and fooled by rumors and complete lies.A study wants to find facts how people easily believe and how to get people to them.Two professors came in conclusion that it easy to fool people to believe in rumors and ones people believe with rumors it's hard to remove them from the brain. At the end the article show us how the brain can help individuals to reject these rumors .I agree with  Jeffrey kluger that people have been fooled by rumors and lies because people like to believe in rumors and they tend to be stubborn and have strong ego and when they faced the truth they fall into denial.                                                                                      
              To begin with , people like to believe in rumors.I have witnessed that  many people fall prey of rumors. They believe easy in them and they don't have to think about reading or searching for them,but they believe what the others say.Most of the people believe in president Obama.Everything he says it is significant for them,but in reality a lot of promises and nothing is true nothing happened. [notice how you moved from "rumors" to "promises" here--be careful not to change the topic] During his presidential camping in 2008 Barack Obama  pledged ,to bring back the jobs lost in 2007 and 2008  and to fix the economic problems.Even thought people still lose the jobs on the other hand they still believe in false promises that they will get their jobs soon.They want to believe this rumor because the reality hurt them. This problem needs to be  solved as soon as possible. The faster they get jobs the less they will suffer and less problems they will have. People should stop thinking and believing in this rumor but to think about reality and how to solve this problem.
                                                                                                                                                                                 Not do people believe in rumors but also they tend to be stubborn and have strong ego.As the article states "none of us like being told we're wrong" "which was backed up by studies proving people stick to their own beliefs even strong when shown data that opposes theirs . In the 2008 Election  spreaded  rumors that  President Barack Obama is a Muslim. Even thought he says is a Christian and was raise from christian parent  and believe in God.Most people find this uncertainty.Obama unusual middle name Hussein which unfortunately for the senator happens to be the name of the famous Iraqi dictator.Some people wonder why does a Christian have a middle name of Islamic background. Even though they listened before about Obama's religion people still think that President Obama is a Muslim.People tend to believe rumors that agree with their own point of view and stick with the idea sometimes they don't care  about hurt and damage to e personal reputation.People should stick and believe with real fact.  [good attempt at the sandwich paragraph--keep this up]                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
              Finally when people faced a truth they fall into denial. People sometimes believe strongly in something and when faced with a contradicting truth they fall into denial. As the article show us the debate over the supposed planned mosque at "Ground Zero" This show us how this false beliefs stick in peoples brain's.      [needs further development--how is the "mosque" a type of "denial"?]                                                                                                                                                                
                In conclusion I want to emphasize that people still believe in rumors in untrue stories which can be harm and can stick in their minds. People should avoid these rumors and they should thinking right before speaking,because rumors even thought are not important can hurt.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Blog 2 "Hype" second draft

                 In the article"Hype"Lasn states that advertisement are the most current and poisonous for our brain. The article shows us that our brain floods everyday with a lot of commercials. They are  everywhere  we see those and they try to influence us.At the end Lasn compare them like a sing a song.I agree with the article that advertisement are poisonous and part of our lives and they try to influence us every day in different way.
              
         To begin with advertisement are everywhere and keep us informed . That is true. Everywhere I go I see different advertisements. Everyday we are bombarded with commercials and we can found those everywhere.As the Lasn mentions such as schools, buses, billboards, stadiums, TV gas nozzle, bank, classrooms  and three thousands marketing messages per day  .It' s true advertisement are everywhere with a large number and inform us; first about new products such as food, snacks, drinks, cosmetics etc, second about services such as transportation, internet, TV, cards,  communication and third about events such as movies, parties, Olympic games etc.Advertisement not only are are a message for people and inform them, but also they want to reach new costumers, to make a lot of sales and to make a lot of money to maintain the company.I remember when I came to New York 5 years ago.I didn't speak English at all. I was on the bus and there was a commercial about English classes "Zoni Language Center"in Flushing.I started to learn English there .This commercial helped me a lot, because of that I learned English and now am studying in College.Not only does this commercial informs international students about where they can learn English ,but it is also a successful business and strong learning center everywhere such as in Flushing, Manhattan, Miami, Vancouver. The more advertisements we see ,more information we get and more we learn.                    

            Even though advertisements can give to us a lot of information those can become harmful. The problem is that we allow advertisements to have access to our brain and we accept most of them without thinking. Sometimes people spend a lot of money for products which are fake. Most of the people believe what they are showing. In spite of some unclear meaning unfortunately we cannot live without advertisements. Advertisements attract not only adults but also children.As they watch a lot of advertisements in their classrooms about Pepsi and Snickers they start to think that they can have everything they want as a result increase in children emotional problems and obesity.Imagine a kid who every day  beg her mom to give a dollar to buy snack or drink at school. This bad habit can lead to her overweight and she cannot stop it. Lasn is right when says "There in no where to run. No one is exempt and no one will be spared." It's true no matter where we are , there are a lot of advertisements which will try to influence us and there is no way to stop them. We get used to advertisements.                      
           In conclusion I want to emphasize again that advertisements are everywhere and those influence on peoples' lives  in positive and negative way.People should think careful about advertisements and use them for their benefits.
