Blog 7 "The Heroic Choices In The Matrix"

  Neo had to make many choices during hes path to being the "one" through out the movie's story,  at one point during the first minutes of the movie Morpheous called Neo from at cellphone the was deliver to him by a mailmen he told Neo the he was in great danger that the agents were on their way to hes office to get him, he told him you got two options to either follow hes rule to get out of the building or to go through were the agents came from which is the first door, at first Neo chooses to go with morpheous plan and escape through the window but right when hes about to do it he gets  scared and decides the go with the agents were the capture him and take him to a room were the bug him with a kind of robotic insect.

Another choice neo had to take in the story was to either save the life on morpheus or save hes on life were the agents capture morpheus and get him hostage in an office in the top room of a building neo had a choice to either go in a mission and rescue morpheous from the agents or let disconnect the cables from hes head and let him died without having to go through the pain that the agents were going to get him through, Neo decides to go and save morpheous and get him out of the hands of the agents,  Neo is succesfull on hes task and gets morpheous out of danger.

I think the biggest decision Neo had to take was when he was told to escape with the phone called from the matrix to the real world but Neo decided to stay and fight the agent in a fight were he both improve and demostrated hes skilled of being the one and also finished the agents once and for all. In one scene Neo was killed by the agent who shot him with a gun, i though the would be the end of neo proving the he was not the one but then Trinity gave neo a kiss which brough him back to life, i was not so schocked the neo was actually the saviour in the movie but for a moment i felt like he was not going to revive and though the he was going to stay dead but like i expected neo woke up with the kiss by trinity and killed the agents with no hesitation in what so ever. I think this was the biggest decision to neo since is the one the shows how he is the one to save the world from the matrix.

Blog 6 "I Know The Truth" {essay}

The article  "I Know The Truth, So Don't Bother Me With Facts" writing by Jeffrey Kluger show us  how simple minded people like to stick to their idea of reality and do not like to be judge for what they think is the truth, but this people are not the only ones who like to stick to their own ideas as they are others who just do not know how to maintain the truth so they ignore the facts and stay to their ideas because many times they are scared the the truth might be to great for them to handel.

 A good example of how people like to get absorb by publicity stunts is giving in the text when Feisal Abdul Rauf the iman who is leading the effort to get a center in ground zero which will have a mosque is being target because in the wake up of 9/11 Rauf said "America involvement in wars in the arab world made made U.S. an accessory to the terrorist attacks" people got confuse and  though the Rauf was in  the side of the terrorist by saying the words the he said even though  he was not because Rauf wants to foster tolerence between the east and west as stated in the passage.

 It is almost sad how we as people are easily convince by lies the are many times made up by other people who just love to create arguments or sometimes this type of lies are just made up by people who misinterpret the truth and fall for a lie the they themselves created, Is always good to do a little research on a topic the you are not so sure about it being truth or not because listening to a story that those not have any facts is not worth arguing for.

Blog 2 "Hype"

   The passage "Hype" states the dangers of advertising and how they affect our everyday life, the passage describe advertisements as a brain pollutant the damage the brain by making people by their product telling them how there product is much better then the other,nowadays is very hard to evade and adv because they are everywhere from television to enormous billboards the are many times place on big buildings on the streets to catch the attention of the consumer.

  A very interesting fact giving by the author let us know how everyday an estimate of at least 15.200,000 commercials and ads are dump into north America's collective unconscious, such a great and affecting number the daily is trigger to make us crave for new goods being lunch to the public, but grown ups are not the only ones being affected kids are also being expose to commercials the makes them want to ask mom and dad to buy them the latest toys and brand sneaker the recently comes out, the author goes on even more and tell us how kids watch" Pepsi and snickers ads in the classroom" this show's us how we are not save even in our working hours from adv's and how dangerous it is to kids when they are on their learning environment.


  Is true how advertisements can affect both the lives of you and others, but i do think the if you can handel the way the you shop and control your brain to not want every singel  new product the you lay your eyes on then advertisements and commercial could be helpfull to get you to keep in touch with whats new and necessary to yourself.

Blog 1 "How to do one thing at a time"

Doing more then one thing at a time is not such a good idea, when a person multi-task they are forcing their brain to do more then one activity,which affects the person's capacity to think and to process information.

As it says in the passage "The brain does better when it's performing tasks in sequence rather then all at once" meaning people work better and acumulate information better when their brains are focus on one thing and not in more then one.

It has been said the it is possible to recover your concentration by fallowing many methods the help the mind stay focus and dedicated to one topic the one's wants to accomplish, some of this methods are said to be yoga and acupuncture as writing in the passage.

Multi-tasking is a serious problem and it happend's to the best of us, I my self had experience multi-tasking in several occasions and am right to say  the every time the I experience it one of the things am doing goes wrong because is not good to have the brain working on more then one thing at a time, is always good to  finish up one first to start the other.
