Research paper- new experience.

I had an experience with research paper in my country, but I have never done it in foreign country and language. At the beginning I couldn't find any interesting information about rooftop farms because the only source which I used was Google. After I found out about how to use Cuny Online Library System, I found many interesting articles and books about my topic. During doing research paper I have learned how to use Google Books and Amazon Books. I have learned about how to quote in my paper and how to cite my sources. I think it was really exciting experience for me. It was a huge challenge. When I was collecting necessary materials, I went to interview the owner of the rooftop farm, which was also an amazon experience for me. I have learned a lot not only about farming on the roofs, but after 1hour workshop, I bought tomato plant for my apartment, which is growing right now like crazy. So I'm considering myself very lucky getting Prof. McCormick as a teacher, because I have learned not only how to write essay and do research paper, but I have learned new exciting things, which I think are going benefit in my entire life. Thank You Prof. McCormick.

"Super Size Me"

The movie "Super size me" shows us an evil face of the food corporations through how their actions affect on our everyday life and health. Although people always has a choice and nobody forces them to make irresponsible decisions about their everyday diet. In my opinion movie didn't really show view from the customer's side. Why do we eat McDonald's? To be able to run good and profitable business you have to follow motto: sell people what they want and demand, and not as you think they would like to. McDonald's is a good example to prove it. As one of the respondents in this movie told us: McDonald's works totally different in Europe because of the different customer's expectations. In Europe, McDonald's looks more like restaurant than fast food place. In Poland, food is very expensive, so people who eat outside has high expectations about quality of food and place, where they eat. Beside food culture in Poland is different than in America. Eating in restaurant is not as common custom in Poland as in America. People go to restaurant once in a while, and they spend a nice time while eating and talking. Most of people cook at home because they grew up on home-made food. It is our national food culture. Big fast food corporations such as McDonald's know people's food custom, and they adopted it. They don't have so much impact on people's eating habit. In America we have opposite situation. The fast food nation, which is under the control of fast food corporations, is more likely to change their eating behavior. They grew up in this unhealthy food environment, and it is going to be very hard to change this. Superlock, in his movie is out to prove the physical and mental effects of consuming fast food. Many American admit they have problem with a bad eating habit, but still they are too weak, and I would even say too lazy to change this. The only way to win with the big corporations such as McDonald's is to start changing our eating behavior from the early childhood, and not when we already have a habit of eating harmful food.
