U.S. After WW1

    How did U.S. react after WW1 they where so many things americans were still afraid of because for the first time ever the whole world was fighting with each other American's were scared and the costs of living doubled and so farmers and factory workers suffered as war time orders diminished. Some americans aleviate some of these fears by becoming isolated as well as nativism and and prejudice against foreign born people.

  Germany's position on the map had a great advantage to make invasions because it helped them invade the countries easier. Who was Winston Churchill He was the prime minister He disagreed with England's prime minister because he had a stead fast refusal to consider defeat, surrender or a compromise peace.Did Russia Enable Hitler and Germany in a way Yes they did they knew it was bad but they helped them by giving them supplies and ways they could invade 18 European countries.

U.S. Starts WW2

        After WW1 WW2 came in because a lot of this that were not solved during the first war. A new war led to new leaders with new goals the leaders were Stallin Mussoloni from Italy, Tojo from Japan Adolf Hitler from Germany and Theodore Rosevelt from the U.S. They all followed a path similar to Hitler he promised getting people of their jobs Adolf Hitler who was a powerful speaker and organizer had promised Germany to get them oout of chaos. Hitler also wanted to enforce racial purification. He also told them he would secure German people land and soil. How were Italy, Germany, and the Soviet Union similar They were similar because both Italy and Germany were nationalistic they had pride in their culture they were Fasist and the Soviet Union was communist.






These were Adolf' Hitler's private armyhttp://goo.gl/KpKcHy
The Nazis took Germany by promising them to bring them out of chaos promised them to expand their country and enforce racial purification. How did the Great depression help the Nazis It helped the Nazis get to power promised the people they could join their private army known as the brown shirt and since the people were desperate they started to follow him. The results of the failures of the Leaugue of nations were that The Leauge Of Nations couldnt enforce the rules and trying to prevent the war wasent effective. The action that the U.S. took was not to get involved so they had adopted isolationism since many people had died the U.S. was still afraid of WW1 but in December 17 1941 The U.S. took actions and became the most powerful economic country with a powerful military.

Germanys Dissatisfaction

       Germany had many reasons to be upset with Great Britain and the U.S. a reason to this is because they had created a blockade that stopped Germany from getting reasources from other countries. Germany had no choice but to act against this blockade and so they decided to sink ships and kill innocent people Germany's action were because they needed to sustain its war effort and not loose because of lack of resources.

        Soon then came a guy known as Woodrow Wilson who as the president of the United States had goals for the world, those goals were to provide peace and not war. I would personally agree with Wilson if i were living during WW1 because of the fact that he wanted to stop the war and keep the people safe. Nobody wants to get killed over a conflict that doesn't involve them.

Why The U.S. Joined WW1

    Know as the Great War that started in July 28 1914 and ended in November 18 1918 with two groups one of them were The Allies and the central powers. The most interesting part of WW1 I found is how they fought for three years in their trenches. WW1 was important being the first war it created several memories that were never forgotten, for the first time many countries around the world were involved  a lot of people were killed. Manny issues were left in the war that led to WW2.

Two groups of WW1

   Something new I learned about WW1 are the four main causes that led to the war they are Nationalism, Militarism, Imperialism, and bad Allience. Another thing I learned is that now in the year 2015 war is conducted much more efficiently Because know war is not only fought in foot but they have airplanes now. They also have plans to put a group of fighters to surgically kill their enemies.

  Using this tactics helped the allies win WW1. The U.S. also had a role at the end of the war the U.S. had invested a lot of money they made a big difference help the allies win the war.

Food Inc : what is really behind your food

What is really behind this tasty food
http://goo.gl/0LwLWV


When I was the same age as you I begged my mom to buy me a happy meal almost every Friday. But there were things  I had to do first like do good in school and be good at home in order to get my mom to take me every Friday. As I grew older I started realizing that my whole purpose in going was for the toys they had  because I liked to collect the toys.
But what can really be behind all this food well let's find out.







In the documentary film food inc as a class we witnessed how food is really made. They also showed the reality of how they treat it before it is packaged in those beautiful packages that you see at the store, And the real thruth behind happy meals from McDonalds.


In 1950 when McDonalds was just a restaurant like any other. Later the Mcdonalds brothers introduced a new assembly line type of operation that made one person do the job and became easier to train and replace the workers.  The question is How do all restaurants get their ingredients to cook their food's and how is everything controlled.

As to this I learned that the percentage of American beef supply is controlled by four companies in a total of 80% . Especially how the names of brands and labels placed on meat and dairy products in the super market are  misleading because, in the movie it stated that packages in a way make you think that animals had a beautiful life and have pictures of them in a beautiful farm.  But there is at least two ways I learned how chickens are physically different now than they were in the 1950's now chickens are having big breasts  because they genetically inherit genes and also give them hormonal treatment that takes them 49 days to grow full.

While they were filming this movie Vince Edwards a chicken grower for Tyson, was not given permission to allow the filmmakers inside his chicken houses. The reason is that they didn't want the people to see the thruth of what is really behind meat and other products. Why is meat so cheap in the first place I'll will tell you why.

In the section of this movie called a cornucopia of choices  it told us about how about 30% of the United States land mass is used to grow corn explaining the role that government policy plays in making corn such a dominant crop. Because farmers are paid to overproduce food they grow corn and sell it at a cheap price. It also told us about why would the large meat suppliers would be interested in lobbying the government for subsidize for corn. This is because the government was paying to overproduce making higher profits the get really cheap corn to feed their animals at a low cost. For example three products that are partially made of corn are ketchup, coke, and twinkies. The movie also told us how cattle and other ruminants have evolved to eat grass, a problem that has emerged as a result of feeding corn to cattle instead  is because it makes them fat quickly. To get rid of really deadly  bacteria that goes into the meat something you get from heat excrement related so to this they will have to eat grass 5 days full to get rid of this bacteria that kills humans.

Another section from this movie is unintended consequences where Kevin kowwalcyk who died in 2001
of Hemolytic-Uremic syndrome caused by eating ground beef contaminated with E.coli the deadly bacteria and explained to us how the U.S government was somewhat responsible for Kevin's death. The movie told us that in August 1st they figured out about the virus and inspectors did nothing until august 27 so yes they were responsible for Kevin's death.

Some additive used in some meat fillers to prevent this E.coli contamination is a type of Ammonia hydroxide that helps kill the bacteria.

Another section was the dollar menu what kinds of foods are the cheapest why fast food products are
 the cheapests why because they are made out of subsidize corn we give the government money to pay for corn production . How does obesity, diabetes, and poverty are linked because in a way medication for diabetes is expensive and what is left is to buy cheap food ( dollar menu ) type 2 diabetes is an abundant of too much salt, sugar, and fat.

This  section was about the grass according to the USDA Joel Salatin's farm who is considered "unsanitary" why ? Because it's noisy, smelly, and unsanitary but according to what he stated in the film during an interview they produce organic food no supplement is being added and they do care about their consumers, not care about how much profit they make.

Now I'll tell you how  large meat packing plants gets most of its workers it is thru NAFTA the North American free trade mark, they get the employees from Mexico because they have too pay them really low and they couldn't really tell what was going on because for them is a job money that they need but the companies sends police ice to pick them in their house and deport them back to Mexico. What is behind all of this....

Another section in this movie was hidden costs why might the cheap costs of industrial food be dishonest or misleading according to the movie it said that nothing is true about the foods  either
environmental, societal, and health cost. Another section was The veil how are food corporations protected by laws so they wouldn't get sewed these laws are not in the best interestet to their
consumers because what they really care about is making profit.

In conclusion we learned the truth behind our food and how some tags in the packages cause confusion in the consumers making them think the animals we get our meat from were raised humanly  as to this you might be confused on the next step you will take in regards of eating meat or not I hope this information was helpful.


This is a deadly bacteria that can be  caused by  unhealthy products

America's Food Supply

      Perdue is a major chicken processing company based in Salisbury, Maryland, United States last year they made about 6 billion dollars. The third largest annually producing 59,320,000.
According to Nicholas Kristof and his article titled Abusing chickens we eat published by the New York times he states his argument saying that chickens should be treated and raised humanly its is also to show people that Perdue is a hypocrite because they are putting labels that are misleading. According to the evidence stated in the article that per dues chickens are being cramped so tightly and most shocking is that the bellies of the chickens are raw and flesh they became featherles and how they are now bred to have hugebreast. The best quote I found in the article doing "the right thing is things like treating your chickens humanely" I choose it because many people brag about doing the right thing but yet they stile need to keep in mind to treat the chickens humanely.  My opinion of this article changed my perspective in eating chicken yes it totally changed my perspective in eating chicken yes I would be more careful in choosing the food I eat.
People in 1906 in America had poor living conditions they had no control of safety food and had flies everywhere. How did the meat inspection act help Americans. It helped them to prevent adulterated or misbranded meat and meat products from being sold as foods and to ensure that meat and meat products are slaughtered and processed under sanitary conditions.
