Entry# 7 Healthy Food

    Food is very important in people's lives, so we have to know what we eat. 
 I never thought about the food that I ate before, but after I watched Food, Inc movie I changed many things in kind of food that my family eat every day. My son favorite meal is hamburger, and I always buy it to him. After I watched this movie, I try to prevent him to eat hot dog or hamburger because I don't know how the factories do these things. Most of factories owner don't think about people's health; they just think about how much they will earn, so I prefer to cook at home, for I know what I do. I shocked when I see the animals treatment. And how they kill them especially the chickens; it was very sad for me. Before a few days I watched another video, and I saw the way to make hot dog; after that day I never buy hot dog to anyone at home. I am very sad  because of the lack of respect for humans by some American businesses. The business people just think of money. And there are many companies in every country change the expire date of the food or cans; they don't regard about people's health. Furthermore, I know how is the corn important to do many kind of food especially bread. In addition, one of the big problem is the amount of hormones in most kind of food especially fruits and vegetables. Nobody care about how these hormones affect on persons health as well as it is not easy to buy organic products because they are more expensive than regular product. I wish we can eat food without hormones.

Entry#6   Things Make Me Unique

      I think everybody thinks that he has unique characteristics , and I am one of these people.

 There are many things that make me different. People think these things are simple

things. But I think they are an important thing for me, and these features affect my life. They

make my life easier. I have three things that make me unique, and these things are doing

multiple chores at the same time, doing my makeup and my hair by myself, and finally forgiving

people.

     First, I do a lot of things at the same time. For example, I cook at home every day and clean the

house. Also I take care of my two sons, and I study English language.

      The second thing is that I can do my makeup and my hair by myself. I don't need to go to the

 beauty center when I have a party or any other occasion . I am very ingenious when I put on my

makeup, and these abilities help me save time and money.

        Finally, I am a forgiving person. I cannot hate any person, even if he is not

good to me. I can forgive anybody who has hurt me.

         I think doing many things at home at the same time is not easy, but I can do them . And not

many people can put on their makeup or do their hair by themselves, but I can do them. Also,

these days few people can forget or forgive other people. But I am one of those people. These

simple things  make me unique.

Entry# 5 Technology Makes People Dependence

   This video shows us how technology affects on humans and how they become dependence in everything in their lives.
Also it show us how technology destroys face to face relationship; people speak with each other by phone or laptop. They don't have time to visit each other because of technology. I agree with this video, for I see how people become lazy; they can't do anything by themselves. They depended completely on technology to solve all their problems, so if something happened to their phone or their laptop, they become unable to do anything. People become very lazy; they can't move. In addition, there is something common between this videos and the culture now. I see how the people become obese because they don't do anything by themselves. I rarely see people walk  in the street. Everybody uses his car. I think If people depend completely on technology, they will destroy their mind and their ability to think.

Entry#4 My  Country Iraq Vs. U.S.A

       There are a lot of different things between my country Iraq and America, and these things make  people's lives difficult when they come from Iraq at first.
     First of all, is the food. The food in my country is healthier than the food here. Most families in my country cook at home. In the U.S., most of families eat fast food in a restaurant, and the fast food is full of fat. Also the fruits in my country are natural. In the U.S. the fruits are full of chemicals. Another different thing is the social life. There isn't any social life in America. Everybody spends most of his time at work, and when he returns home, he wants to sleep immediately. In my country, the families visit each other many times, have fun and eat together . Last thing, the study in Iraq is free. But in the U.S., people have to pay a lot of money. Also in the U.S., people have to buy the books and the resources, but in Iraq the school and the university give the students books for free. Also the students can't go to any university they want. It depends on their degree in high school. But in America they can choose what they want to study. It's a good thing that the students choose what they want to study. I think there are bad things and good things in Iraq and America. And the difference between the two cultures makes  life hard, but the Iraqi people try to adapt to the new culture.

Entry#3: Modern Innovation

  There is no doubt that the modern innovation become part of our daily lives .
     We use a lot of these high-end devices in our business and our contacts and our entertainment ; among these devices are mobile phones, computers and many other things. These devices help us to accomplish many of the tasks and responsibilities very effectively and in record time which saves time, effort, money and and provide information and facilitate communication with sound and image. Also linking people in different parts of the world is what makes the whole world seem a single village. But like most other things, we find that these devices have disadvantages also. For example, that regular use of e-mail and text messaging reduces the level of intelligence.  Experts attribute the cause of low IQ when using personal devices listed to mental confusion and lack of concentration. Watching TV for a long time hurts the eyes and exhausts the body. In addition, dependency is one of the disadvantage.Most of people  start to depend on computers and other forms of technology for everyday existence. So when a machine breaks or a computer crashes, people become almost disabled until the problem is resolved. This kind of dependency on technology puts people at a distinct disadvantage because they become less self-reliant.
    I chose one video that I like it a lot,"An amazing TV without control."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnmU2NomIiQ

 I like that invention because I don't need to look for the remote control. I spend long time to look for it, for most of time my son lose it.

     

Entry# 2.  My Mother

I want to speak about a wonderful woman in my life my mother. I love her and I respect her because she is a hard-working woman. She helps everybody without complaining and she helps me a lot all the time; She always worries about me. She is a teacher inside and outside the home.Also when I was young, she helped me to know that the certificate in any field in the university is very important to my life; in addition, she encouraged me to only study, and she didn't let me do anything to help her at home because she wanted me to become a successful woman in my life. She is an amazing homemaker. She washes the clothes, cleans the dishes, cleans the house,takes care of the plants in the back yard and she cooks every day.

She takes care of my first baby when I go to college,

when I want to study and do my homework, when I want to go shopping, or when I have any 

appointment and anything to do. Her help makes me do a lot of things. And now I have another baby.  She takes care of him also. She never tells me that she can't help me even if she has a lot of things to do. I can't imagine my life without her. This is my amazing mother. 

Entry# 1       My opinion

      I read the blog http://thepioneerwoman.com/ and I really like it. At first, I like how she did her blog. And the manner that she put videos together. When we click to any video, we see the information about it. Also I like these videos because it helps me to learn how to cook some kinds of food. I love to read the blog that has benefits, and I can learn something new on it. After I read this blog, I tried to do some of these plates. It is a nice blog. And I like it also because I think it is something relate to the woman that like to cook. I hope I can do like this blog.

 Also I read the blog http://crappypictures.com/ and I love it. Valentine Day is a special day to many people. And I always wait for it. Also I agree with the person how did the blog because in the past I could celebrate with my husband alone without any interrupt but now we have two kids and we can't go anywhere and celebrate together. In addition, my son eats all the chocolate that my husband bring it to me. 

I read the blog http://thebloggess.com/ but I don't like it because I can't imagine how can I live with cat at home. I don't like cats. I wonder how she can leave the small girl sleep with the cat. If I touch any cat by wrong, I will wash my hands many time. How can I leave my kids with animals.
