I think that the maker of the film wants to tell us that too much factory farming is wrong and should be fixed. In the movie "matrix" the world we live in was wrong place and neo tried to save the world. factory farming has been popularized since the industry revolution and it covers the house farming like the matrix covers real world so that people can't see the truth.

In blog series 1, I learned a lot of things like the structure for the whole essay and what kind of factor should be in each paragraph. I have done that on my essay and I got better than before. however, I still think that I need more practice on it and I need improvement on my word decision. When I choose some words for some sentences, sometimes, the sentence doesn't make sense because the word I choose is improper word for the sentence. I face many problems with this class but, especially time is the most important problem for me. I feel so overwhelmed when I take test like final test and cat test so I can't finish the whole essay on time. I couldn't finish practice CAT test this time too. I think that I need to have more practice right now. I should set the time like the real test whenever I write essays. It will help me to feel more relaxed and comfortable. I also think that I need to see other people's essay so that I can be more creative about ideas for essay. I hope I have more practice in this class and pass the CAT test.

Most people watch TV everyday and they can not even imagine how many TV programs and shows that they come across. The problem is that people are affected by these programs. I believe that reality TV is harmful to the society and it should be limited on some level.

In the article, author talks about how reality TV affects our society. Reality TV sends out the dangerous messages that the key to be successful is competition and image rather than ability in a capitalist society and emphasizes that the most dangerous message is that education is not important to come true the American dream.

I think that reality TV has a bad influence upon people' life. Reality TV shows that competition is the only way to be successful and everything seems to relate to competition in this society. When people watch that, they accept this theme on TV and think that it is right and natural without knowing what they are thinking. There are too much violence and sexual activities on reality TV nowadays and it affects people, especially for children. Children learn a lot of things from what they see and hear. Reality TV is one of the good medium for children to learn something. When they watch reality TV, they are exposed to a lot of violence and sexual activities. They just learn these things and absorb these like sponge and it remains their brain. Some children who watch too much violence on TV are usually aggressive and they often fight with their friend. Moreover, the children who watch a lot of sexual activities follow the  sexual activities and it leads them to be early pregnancy when they are not ready to be responsible for baby.

I emphasize that reality TV is bad for people it should be reduced. I hope more people to be aware that reality TV has some bad influences on them and to be careful about that.

In Dr J's question, I believe that taking red pill is the better choice because I don't want to live in a fake world and if everything around me is fake, there is no meaning in the life. In the movie"matrix" neo also wants to know the truth and choose the red pill to get out of the fake world. Later, he accepts the truth and try to save the real world.

The matrix discussion telecommute was a new experience for me and it was really nice. I could see a lot of opinions from others and i totally agreed with some of them. At first, I had a problem that I didn't understand some people's opinioin but I could understand them after I read their writing over and over. I learned that how to organize thea a claim and how to understand different perspectives. I also realized that im not the only answer and there are many different answers.

Truman lives in the city called "sea heaven" and this is fake world but looks real more than real world. every thing is not true in this world even his wife and friends and everything in this world is going around with Truman. So there is no problem which exists in real world. Truman doesn't have to face the problem and live the life planned for him. 

If I were in same situation with Trueman, I would not choose to live in cristoff 's world even if the world cristoff has created has no problem and seems to be more perfect than real world, it is not truth but just fake. I think that the world cristoff has created tell us about how horrible this reality is and there are so many lies around in the real world so that people can't even distinguish between truth and false.cristoff may think that the real world is 'sick' place and  had many problems like poverty, hunger, war, and lack of money so he wants to to clear these problems for Truman. On the other hand, he thinks that the world Truman lives is normal and there is no problem but just everything Truman needs. However there is no freedom actually for Truman because it seems that there is everything for Truman but that is for a TV show and audience. He takes one person's right to be free.

In conclusion, I hope more people find the truth beyond the reality they have now with facing the fear like Truman.
