Blogging Reflection

I've decided to leave my blog public for the world to see, as I don't have anything to hide. I already do live streams and youtube videos so I'm not shy on the internet. I haven't invited or shown my blog to anyone, as I just don't find it interesting. I'm pretty sure my blog wouldn't affect my writing, and I included all of my reflections here. This reflection is here as well, because I want them all to be visible. Blogging has been comfortable for me, since I already enjoy keeping a journal.

Video reflection

In my opinion, this video did a good job of portraying the public's view of organic and smaller supermarkets, with the poor rather going to the grocery store to get cheaper, affordable food, instead of more expensive food at other markets. The poor feel attacked and oppressed in the long run, even when the new supermarkets are affordable.

Service Learning Reflection 3

My latest Experience with service learning was a success for me. I sat down and perfectly planned out the dates for me to go, and finally finished my service learning last week. I missed a few days though, since the instructor didn't show up without warning. That proved to be an issue with communication, unfortunately. It felt gratifying to give my time, but even better when I finished!

Eat Food Focus Reflection

I agree with Michael Pollan's advice in "Eat Food: Food Defined.". I plan to try and eat cheaper, yet maintain healthier eating habits, as mine have never been good to begin with. I plan on cooking more meals myself than eating fast food, and work to eat cheaper and socially, with friends. Though our diets all differ, we can make it work. I hope to improve my personal eating habits as well, and carry them into next semester.

TED Talk Response

Ron Finley made it clear that actions speak louder than words in his TED talk. His ending remark of "Plant some shit" makes the point that instead of sitting around and waiting for something to happen, we should take action to make something happen. His way of presenting his ideas seemed to be effective, with visual and verbal aids and cues. He grabbed his audience's attention, and maintained it well. Overall, I liked this video, and would even support his initiative.
