Reflection

 

            This semester I have learned a lot about what we eat and food safety. From doing my research paper on Factory Farming I learned how animals are being mistreated. I also learned of diseases such as salmonella and E. coli, which are being caused by sanitation errors that can harm our food and animals. Mad cow disease is another food safety hazard that happens in the slaughterhouse of mistreated cows.

            I have also learned more of how fast food companies direct advertising of unhealthy food towards children. Reading the book Fast Food Nation I’ve come to see Walt Disney and the McDonalds Corporation perfected the art of selling things to children. By them doing so it led many other companies to aim marketing efforts at kids. These companies take advantage of the innocence mind of these young kids.

            My weakness in writing is my grammar. I also have trouble with my introduction and my conclusion. Being in Eng101 helped me to work on my issues. I think my grammar has improved from the begging of the class, but I still need to work on it. Writing will play a big role in my future because my major is paralegal. Finally, this class was very helpful and I learned a lot and ready to learn many more in Eng102.
