U.S. After WWI

      When WWI occurred many conflicts and tragedy's hit American lives. Americans began to have a fear against war, Fear of the consequences that happened after WWI. The economy was in a difficult state, returning soldiers faced  unemployment they took their old jobs away from women and minorities. Another consequences after WWI was the cost of living it doubled and farmers and factory workers suffered. One big fear that Americans faced were the spread of communism, with the spread communist would put an end to private property and many other factors that would affect the residents.
     With all the issues that Americans were facing they reacted and came with the idea of

U.S. used the technique of nativism to prevent war
against foreign-born people

nativism meaning, prejudice against foreign-born people. Another technique that the Americans adopted with the experience of WWI was isolationism known as being isolated away from the countries.
U.S. had fears regarding the League of Nations so, they decided to not care for others. They didn't know if they wanted collective security.
  The goals of the Communist during the war was to take full control over the people and make the country all the same  for everyone to have the same beliefs and the same rights.  

Communism became a fear to the U,S,
it was the concept that countries adopted in WW1

Germany's Dissatisfaction

   During  WWI, many conflicts occurred between nations due to  the alliances that had been created at the time. According to the article "Germany's Dissatisfaction" by Danny Blas, Germany from the Central Powers was blockaded by Great Britain who was on the other side which was the Allies. Great Britain soon saw that the U.S. was shipping ammunition to Germany so, they decided to take a step and create a blockade.

     Then the U.S. found out about what was happening they decided to stop sending ships to deliver supplies in consequence  it upset the Germans. Approximately 750,000 Germans died from starvation as the result of the British blockade. The Blockade was intercepting every  U.S. boat and didn't let any supplies come to the Germans so they took action and attacked.
       Germany  in response for their attack used U-Boats to sink British ships not caring who were on the ships. A tragic experience that Americans faced was in May 7, 1915 when many American were lost.

Woodrow Wilson try to prevent war and make peace.

       The U.S. president Woodrow Wilson at the time didn't want to get involved in physical action with Germany instead  they tried to come to an agreement. The U.S. mediate a compromise between Germany and Britain. Woodrow Wilson through WWI wanted to keep things calmed and not go into physical  action and prevent to go to war because of the blockade.
      If I livid during WWI in my opinion i would agree with the goal that Woodrow Wilson had in mind. I believe the idea was a good start to first be calmed  prevent war and try to talk things out. Then come out with an agreement.  
     

Why the U.S Joined WWI

      Dirty hairy disgusting rats crawling on your body while sleeping eating your food at night. This is how the soldiers in WWI had to live for 3 years nonstop fighting back in trenches. Diseases spreading everyday with the infested rats running around at night looking for something to eat.
     In my history class by reading the article WWI Begins for the U.S by Danny Blas WWI was an important event because, it was the first war where almost the whole world was involved. While reading the article and going more in depth I didn't know what caused the war so, I figured out that Nationalism, Imperialism, and Militarism and the formation of a system of alliances were the causes that led to the WWI. When the war was finally over The Triple Entente known as the Allies, France, Britain, Russia, and the U.S won the war by making a stop to the endless war that kept on going against the Central  Powers. With the help of U.S the Allies had faith in winning the war.
   The U.S. was not a major enemy against the other countries, but once the U.S. entered the conflict the other countries were beaten up and the U.S brought the end of the war. Without the help of the U.S. war would had not been over in a rapid amount of time and would still kept on going with no solution. Soldiers fought with the technology they had they didn't have cellphones or communication to know what the other was doing. Since WWI we have improved over the years how we fight in war.

Here we saw how soldiers stayed in the trenches

  Back in WWI war was conducted by using trenches where soldiers slept and protected themselves. Now in 2015 technology has grown. Now a days we control war by having small groups of soldiers attack. Another big factor that is different in WWI is that now we have women that serve our country and can go to war. Back in WWI weapons were used but, now we have different weapons that are controlled by people in buildings.Furthermore  transportation that we have  now  is an  advanced technology that can be controlled at any time. Since WWI we have advanced in the new techniques of fighting as we had back then  we fought in trenches.

In this picture we see one kind of guns that were used in war.

Food Inc: What is inside our Happy Meal?

  When I was in 4th grade McDonald's Happy Meals were my favorite thing to eat. The food was good, but the reason why i dragged my mom was because of the special toys hidden deep down in the bright-red boxes. I couldn't wait to open the red box and look at the toy I got. In order to earn this bright-red I had to behave and do my 

responsibilities at home. 

  In the documentary film Food Inc.,we were able to see how our food is created. How it goes to the farmers and how it gets to our Happy Meal. Also how the animals are being treated before getting killed and turned into food.

    When McDonald first began in the 1950's the workers delivered the food in roller skates. McDonald brothers realize that they were gaining a lot of money with their company so, they decided to go with a new process that would make them gain much more money. They decided to make their food in factories know as an assembly-line. The factory way had less workers with lower pay. If workers didn't work for them anymore the owners could replace the workers easily.  

     Of the food produced in America 8 out of 10 patties are controlled by four companies, Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and National Beef. When the food is delivered to the supermarket labels are misleading,because they give false advertisement to the consumers by saying that animals are being raised by humans when they are raised in factories. The industrial food is considered "dishonest" or misleading because they don't have the labels that indicate the environmental costs which are the causes that will be made to the environment. Another costs that people don't label on the food is the societal known as, the impact the the item will have in society. Last they don't include the health cost which are the proteins, nutrients etc in the items. Before all the labeling the chickens have to be treated with chemicals and the killed.  

    When chickens are raised in factories the workers in the farm inject the chickens so, that their body looks different to satisfy the needs of the people. With the treatments it causes the chickens to grow faster and make their breast bigger. Back in the 1950's chickens were not injected with chemicals they would grow normal. Fourth more in the movie we saw how company's don't let the media see their chickens in the factories.
      In the movie we saw how Vince Edwards the chicken grower for Tyson didn't let the filmmakers inside his chicken houses and,see how they are raised. Tyson didn't want the filmmakers to enter because, they don't want us to know the truth of how chickens are living and see how the chickens never see the sunlight.
   As I watched in the movie Joel Salatin's has a farm that produces organic food, which is animals that are raised naturally outside and not like factories animals. According to the U.S. department of Agricultural they believe that Joel Saltin's farm is considered "unsanitary," which means dirty and unhealthy because it's a open air farm. The USDA believe it's a unsanitary environment because, they kill chickens with kitchen knives in the open air. On the other side factories kill chickens with machines or other materials and not letting the chickens see the sunlight ever in their life.

     When we eat our Happy Meals and our fries we are eating corn. About 30 percent of the United States land is used to grow corn. The government pays to produce as much corn as possible to make food that we eat daily such as, chips, coke, and ketchup. The big companies of meat like the idea of having as much corn because, it's a very cheap and helps the farmers to feed the animals.
     Over the years animals have been feed with cheap corn to make them fat causing the cows to have E. Coli, which is a disease that affects
 your kidneys and other parts of your body. The disease can kill children and elders.

   When we eat meat or beef that is contaminated  can cause us health problems. Kevin Kowalcyk a 3 year old died in 2001 because he eat a hamburger that had E. Coli. When the government knew about is death they didn't do anything about it. Over the years scientist have discover a material to add to meat that has E. Coli known as ammonia to wash down the E. Coli. Ammonia is a pink slim that is added to meat in factories to take off the chemicals that can causes diseases. Many people still buy the food anyways because now a days food is very cheap and anyone can buy it.
    When we go to McDonald's we notice that the dollar menu is very cheap and we are able to buy as many items with not a lot of money. The food is very cheap because it's made of corn and it's a over cropped food. When people don't have a lot of money they go to a fast food restaurant and start buying food that they believe its healthy. Fast food can cause obesity,and  diabetes because of the corn that is in the food and the unhealthy chemicals that make you be unhealthy. People at times can't afford to buy healthy food in grocery due to the fact that its expensive instead they buy unhealthy food to make them not feel hungry. when people start to become sick they decided to buy food and bot pay for the medicine because, the costs is higher and fast food is cheaper.
     As we enter McDonald's we see tat there are many people working you may wonder where do some come from? The large meat packing companies get most of their workers because of Nafta that stands for  North America Food Trade Act it allows immigrants to work in the factories.
     Food corporations are protected by laws and they can't be judged in the media. If someone talks bad about a company they must go to court and fight against the company.

 

America's Food Supply

     Perdue is the 3rd largest chicken processing company based in Salisbury, Maryland, and United States, with annual sales of 6 billion. The company stated that they treated their chickens humanly when it was far from the truth. In the article Abusing Chickens We Eat by Nicholas Kristof published by The New York Times, the author argues that Perdue should treat their chickens humanely. He also argues that if chickens that are not raised humanely they shouldn't consist of labels that indicate that they are and give false advertisement to the costumes.

                Nicholas Kristof stated in the article if humans were to grow at the same rate as modern chickens in the Perdue industry they would overcome the normal weight of a human. Poultry Science calculated that a human would weigh 670 pounds by the age of eight weeks. Furthermore, Kristof examines how the chickens don’t run or roost as birds normally do, instead they collapsed as soon as they get up not being able to carry the weight that they have in their breast. It’s a stinging ammonia that causes away to eat feathers and skin. In the article a farm boy stated that he has raised small flocks of chickens and geese, and had never seen anything like that.

Based on the Article the best quote that represents it, was when a farmer that worked for Perdue had an attack of conscience by, watching a video of Jim Perdue and seeing how they mistreat the animals and said, “My jaw just dropped, it couldn't get any further from the truth." "U.S.D.A.is the accomplice of Perdue in the fooling of consumers," says Leah Garces, American director of compassion in world farming, she indicates that consumers shouldn't get false advertisement.

   Based on the novel ''The Jungle by Upton Siclair he stated that in the 1900s rats were scattered around factories in the night eating the food that was left outside. People threw their excrement outside due to the fact that they didn't have a specific location to throw them. Causing health conditions to the people that came in contact with the unsanitary materials. After reading the novel Theodore Roosevelt the president passed the Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1906 that prevented adulterated or misbrand meat from being sold as food. It also ensure Americans life by providing sanitary food.

On the article Abusing Chickens We Eat by Nicholas Kristof I conclude that the article opened up my eyes to what actually happens behind the scenes of raising a chicken. By reading this article I learned that chickens are not always treated humanely and companies give false advertisement to the consumers. I also believe that chickens should have an open space so they can move freely and the barns should be clean. As well as providing sunlight to the chickens in other words chickens should be treated humanely.

What Happen to the 43?

      The Ayotzinapa School is located in the state of Guerrero. The mission of the collage is to train new teachers to be successful with students from rural areas of Mexico. The Ayotzinapa students consist of communist ideas.  The government on the other hand does not agree with the beliefs of Ayotzinapa students, due to the fact that they don't want students to stand up for themselves.
    On the night in September 2014  Iguala, Guerrero faced a devastated incident where there buses of Ayotzinapa where going to a protest in Mexico. That night the police intersected the three buses and began to shoot the students. Many innocent lives where taken in just a second, three students followed by three bystanders. After the incident occurred the police kidnapped 43 students.
     Jose Luis Albarca is the mayor of Igual, and Maria De Los Angeles is the wife of the mayor. They are both connected to the Iguala ambush because they were linked to the drug cartel in Mexico. Jose Luis Albarca order the police to stop the 3 buses that contained the 43 students.
     The Mexican Government has not contribute to the findings of the 43 innocent students that were kidnapped. On the other behalf the Mexican people want the Goverment to do something about the missing students. Parents of the missing students have lost faith in the corrupted government, they also believe that they are establishing relationships with the drug cartel. However parents are not giving up and, are searching for the lost ones. Mexican people have also conducted marches in order to let the Goverment know that they are not giving up.
      Enrique Pena Nieto is the president of Mexico, he signed the paper that promised to have the Goverment backing. Angel Aguirre is the governor of the State of Guerro, that helped the parents with the investigation but gave up on the. As soon as he found the the bodies that were found were not the 43 students.
