    The film “Fed Up”, produced by Katie Couric and Laurie David, was an interesting and informative film about the dangers of sugar consumption and its contribution to obesity. The strengths of the film were that they gave examples of two major changes that the food industry made to try and save themselves instead of putting the people’s best interest first. Therefore, the American Academy of Family Physicians teamed up with coca cola to say that soft drinks had nothing to do with obesity, when science showed otherwise, while 20 doctors that helped make up the association publicly resigned. Then came the McGovern report in 1977 that issued the first dietary goals, stating that the American diet was overly rich in fatty meats, rich in saturated fats and cholesterol, and rich in sugar,…

    The song that I chose to analyze is “Changes” by Tupac Shakur. The late Tupac Shakur was an African American rapper who was shot dead years ago. His powerful lyrics have impacted the rap industry to this day, because he spoke the truth. His lyrics directly related to his everyday struggles, and how being a successful African American is not an easy task to achieve. Rap usually talks about events of everyday life, and the song “Changes” talks about racial profiling, poverty, and how racism affects the everyday life of African American people. Note that this song came out in about 1996 where things were different, however the lyrics of this song still ring in the ears of people who are affected by the evil of racism.…

    The privilege I would ask my parents for would be the privilege to have a phone. I would like to have a phone because I have an iPod that is practically broken. Also, I can’t contact my friends using social media or messaging apps because my friends might have no data or want to overuse their data and I don’t have internet at certain times during the day. Sometimes their phones don’t let them use the messaging apps that I would be able to text them on and the only way for me to contact them is to use the built in messaging app but I can’t because I don’t have a phone number. Another thing is that my family always try to message me about something that I don’t even receive until I get home or into an area with internet. Now that I’m almost…
