Is Hunting Ethnical?

When the movie Bambi came out on video I was just a little girl, it was my favorite movie it was the only movie that my mom could get me to sit and watch the whole thing. That movie made me think that hunting is bad because a hunter killed Bambi’s mom. It was sad for me. In our house we have a deer head on our wall and I remember telling myself that I will never hunt and I was mad at my dad for shooting that deer. Now that I’m older my mind has changed. The way that the population of deer is growing I think that if someone wants to hunt in hunting season for deer I'm okay with it. But if there are people shooting a deer not on hunting season is wrong. I feel that if someone shoots a deer make it worth it. I will never shoot a deer for my own reasons. I would never have eaten a deer for the longest time. For most of my life I was against hunting, it was wrong and cruel, which it still is, I just didn't understand how someone can shoot something so innocent and care free animal that hasn't done anything to harm people. I still feel this way but understand that the deer population is over flowing. So know I understand that hunting is a population control, not a game. The population is so bad that deer are being hurt or killed by cars and deer are also killing or hurting people by being hit by cars.

Cruelty, Civilty, and Other Weighty Matters

How is weight a public issue?
Weight is such a big public issue because of food. Food tastes so good. It is easier to grab packages of potato chips than to make a vegetable platter or a healthy snack.
Television is a big factor to our weight problems. The advertisements are very tempting to go get something to eat. From restaurants to chocolate they are all mouth watering good.
Now the majority of families eat their T.V. dinners in front of the television because it is easier to cook your dinner in the microwave and sit while watching T.V. something that I know very one likes to do. Instead of making a home cooked meal, setting the table, and sitting together as a family.
People now rely on fast food because it is fast and easy. Which are mostly hamburgers and French fries and you can super size it to if you are really hungry. People now no time any more, they barely have time to eat so when we do have a 10 minute lunch break fast food is the only opinion for most people. We don’t have time to make lunches in the morning or the night before with work and/or having children. Children have a adapted this eating issue to because their parents are a work all day so they have to make their own snacks and meals so parents buy easy to grab snack like pop and cookies and easy dinners or lunches like frozen meals to cook in the microwave.
I think there is a way to stop this nonsense. Make healthier grab snacks and meals. It’s all about making it easy for people with their busy lives and work schedules. We can’t stop eating; we have to eat to survive. So if we just make simple food changes we would probably see a lot of changes in our health and body.

Over Looking the Toothbrush

I think the toothbrush is an object that is over looked. The toothbrush is an important object that is not thought of much through out the day because we use the toothbrush two to three times a day that's only four to six minutes through out a 24 hour period. We wake up and brush our teeth but we also have a million other things to think about, by the time you are off to work you have already forgot about the toothbrush. Some might even wonder if they have brushed their teeth. The toothbrush is every important object for us because it can help prevent diseases and decay. For America our teeth are very important. Our teeth are part of a style, an image. Taking care of your teeth with a simple toothbrush is a fashion choose. The toothbrush boost self-esteem for reasons like; your teeth are clean so it is easier to talk to others instead of being afraid of people staring at your nasty teeth that haven't been brushed, the whole time you are talking. It is all about taking care of yourself and understanding why it is important to brush your teeth with a toothbrush. How many times a day do you think about the toothbrush, how it has a handle, and bristles that you have no idea how they stay in place. When you were a child you probably got the cool Power Ranger or a pretty princess toothbrush and you showed it off to all you buddies or gal pals when they would come over for a sleepover but that was the only time that you would even talk about that cool toothbrush. Your mind would chance to something else when one of your friends would run out of the bathroom yelling, "I can run faster then you, see!" Then you would drop the toothbrush and run as fast as you can to beat your friend at the race. It is important to not over look the toothbrush in our every day life it will save your teeth and maybe your self image.

The Greatest Gift

My blog chose is about The Greatest Gift. I can relate to this essay because I am a mother myself. It is discouraging to find out that motherhood is not like it is on television.
In this essay she got in a slump and could not understand why motherhood was not like the families on television. Her main focus wason Martha Stewart and how perfect she was. She did not understand why her life was not like Martha's. It did not help that her nieghbor and her baby, around the same age as her baby, seemed to have the perfect life she wished for. Family and friends overwelmed her when they came to meet the new baby girl. All she wanted was to curl up and for them to go away. When the relatives and friends finally calmed down and her husband had to return to work, it got even worse. All she di during the day was sit on the couch and watch television. On the television ther was a mother who killed her children and the writer felt she could relate to her. Not killing her child but the depression. She felt she was depressed about having a child and not getting what she expected. When her husband brought home a puppy she knew the puppy was going to be hard to take care of. She would have to feed, walk, and potty train the puppy. When she was cleaning up a potty mess she was thinking about how hard it was to have a puppy. Then she realized that her baby should be more important then the puppy. She went and got her daughter out of bed and just cuddled her, loving her like she was supposed to. She realized how perfect her baby and life is.
During this time Martha Stewart was sentenced to jail and right then she knew nobody is perfect, not even Martha Stewart.
