Entry #9 The Dairy Industry


If you're anything like me, you probably couldn't go through 5 seconds of this video without dry heaving. This is the exact point that peta wants to make about the dairy industry. They flash gut wrenching images at you and make you listen to the screams of helpless animals in hopes that you will be fearful of eating or drinking any dairy products at all.

Peta wants to instill this feeling of guilt into the things that you eat. They want you to shy away from drinking milk for that night at the very least and they don't necessarily tell you or even show you exactly what's going on in the dairy industry, but they do flash you these horrifying images of cows being hit, abused, and bleeding everywhere. 

Their soul purpose is for you to stop drinking milk, stop eating cheese, and overall become a vegan. I've been a vegetarian myself for almost 14 years and this video has definitely made me skip milk and cereal this morning. It's hard to realize that being a vegetarian alone doesn't diminish the mistreatment of animals. I always thought that we did it like my first grade field trip to the farm was. We all lined up to pull on the cow's utters and that's how we got our milk. I didn't know that it involved raping cows and obtaining their milk forcibly and mechanically.

This video by peta isn't there to give you every detail into why consuming dairy products is bad. It wants you to research that yourself. It wants to shock you and wants to make you aware that no, our dairy industry isn't that happy cow on the front of your milk carton. It's fear, pain, and torture, and you have to see for yourself. You have to look farther and dig deeper into what goes on behind the things that you eat.

    I have watched these videos before and I hate how these animals are treated. I find it interesting the technique that peta uses to inform their readers that this is a major issue and it should be stopped. Their technique gets the reader thinking of ways to make the problem stop.

Entry #10 I Swear Musicals Aren't That Boring

Image
Since I've spent most of this blog talking about music, I really just wanted to share a bunch of different types of musicals with you. I know a lot of people find musicals pretty boring, but I feel like those people just haven't found the right one to watch. I mean there's a musical for everything. There's Spongebob the Musical, which I kind of find stupid, but I mean, if you find squarepant humor funny, I'm sure you'd fine this to be great. There's also Shrek the Musical which by the way is on Netflix and then there's even a Spiderman the Musical where someone actually died during a stunt right before the performance.  Cartoon creators of South Park, Family Guy, The Simpsons, use musical numbers as comedy all the time. At one point in family guy, it seemed as though every other episode had some type of catchy and amusing performance. The creators of South Park love musicals so much that they actually wrote one called, "The Boo...

Entry #11 You blogged what now?

This journey as a blogger has definitely, well been a journey. I absolutely hated the idea of this thing sitting in class that day in January. I thought I had finally won and was done with it in March and then comes the first day of English 102 and HAH! SURPRISE! You have to do it again! (insert non-verbal maniacal laugh) I pretty much died at the fact that I'd have to come up with 5 more topics for blogs. I mean the last entry I had for last semester was just a poem I had written during some recent midnight thoughts. Luckily, I had been playing a lot of piano over the break, a few minutes after you announced the fact that we had to do the blogs, my inner soul ruptured so much that it initiated a light bulb effect where I came up with the three classical music directed blogs I had this semester.  I was pretty reluctant to write these until I actually started to write them, it felt like a chore, but in all sincerity, I also kind of love it. I got into A...

The infamous song, "Imperial March" has to be one of the most influential and widely known pieces in the world.
