    In “The Jungle – Upton Sinclair” it was stated the meat packing industry was being very unsanitary by the way they produced their meat. It also said that there were other things inside the meat that are not supposed to be inside the meat, like mold, rats, insects, and other things. As well as things that are not supposed to be in the meat, they also used the meat even if it was rotten, and made it into something else. Some of the reforms made to stop this were the pure drug and food act, which banned the sale of foods that could be considered poisonous, and unhealthy to the public. They also had inspections of the food to make sure there was nothing on the food in the first place causing the quality of products to go up.…

People who work on farms or work with pork meat do have a higher risk of getting swine flu. It is not a disease that is easily caught and spread, due to the advancement in knowledge since 1918. However, the 2009 outbreak proved otherwise.…

    One reason for this problem was that there was no real inspection of the meat.

If you were a sociable person, he was quite willing to enter into conversation with you and to explain the deadly nature of the ptomaines which are found in tubercular pork; and while he was talking with you you could hardly be so ungrateful to notice that a dozen…

    Today in our society, the attention towards vegetarianism and animal abuse is becoming very popular. Many organizations around the world are trying to send messages out to the public to reveal the truth behind the horrific things animals go through. This one particular organization named PETA, People for Ethical Treatment of Animals, created an image to persuade people to consider the vegetarian lifestyle, to treat animals as equals, as well as to visually reveal what these animals go through before hand. While the intended audience and viewers are those of us who eat meat and treat animals cruelly, the importance of this is if we do not slaughter humans, animals should not be slaughtered either. In that case, wanting to catch the audiences eyes, PETA used a beautiful woman as the center focus because of who she is, as well as the effective slogans in order to get their message across.…

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
