The Indian residential school was a government-implemented institution that engulfed all aspects of an Indigenous child’s life. As the long silence is being shattered and more survivors tell their stories, the full scope of the tragedy of residential school discrimination and abuse is gradually being revealed. In the documentary, Muffins for Granny, Nadia McLaren offers a raw perspective of the practices and repercussions of residential schools through interviews with seven First Nations elders. Their honest face-to-face accounts are paired with stark animated moments and home movie footage to illustrate this difficult chapter in Indigenous and Canadian history that, for many, is not over (McLaren, 2006). Through the strength of personal narratives,…
In the documentary, Supersize Me, Morgan Spurlock claims multiple times that fast food, such as McDonalds is the cause for America’s overweight predicament. Multiple doctors and even an advertisement agent for some of the best known brands, agrees with Spurlock. On the contrary, director of Fathead, Tom Naughtin, believes that Spurlock could not have consumed 5000 calories from eating “3 square meals”, he proceeded to back up this claim by looking at Mcdonald’s nutrition facts. After examining the easy to find nutrition labels, Naughtin then tries to obtain Spurlock’s food journal, but is denied. He then realizes that Spurlock must have been overeating, which would make sense to the high calorie count.…

The reason why Mimi persisted in searching for the biscuit under the red cup is because of the object permanence method and the A-not-B method. Mimi’s father kept putting the biscuit under the red cup, but when he put it under the yellow cup she did not attend closely when it was hidden at a new spot. The reason why Mimi kept choosing the red cup is because she had the habit of reaching of the red cup and she is continuing to look at the red cup and the red cup only. Since Mimi didn’t move around when looking at the cups this will increase Mimi’s chance of making the A-not-B search error. Mimi doesn’t bother to look under the yellow cup, because of the constant looking under the red cup.…

As a girl who grew up in the south her whole life, certain foods such as fried chicken, sweet potatoes, sweet tea, cornbread, eggs, bacon, and collard greens, is the typical food that northerners believe that all southerners eat. However, that is not the case for all southerners, there are many cases of people like myself, who don’t eat southern food at all, even though we were born and raised in the south. We are going against the stereotype that all southerners consume greasy unhealthy food, by not eating various food groups, such as meat, dairy, eggs, fish, honey, or anything that comes from an animal.…
In the documentary Super Size Me, narrated and directed by Morgan Spurlock, Mr. Spurlock sets out to see just what effect eating fast food can have on a person’s health. Numerous questions are posed during the film, so it is difficult to determine the exact thesis of the argument. After filtering through all of the information, I determined the main point of the argument to be that McDonald’s knowingly provides unhealthy food to Americans and wants us to eat as much of its food as we can, therefore making us fat. Mr. Spurlock sets out on an experiment with himself as the subject, in which he eats nothing but McDonald’s food for 30 days. Although Mr. Spurlock does present evidence that fast food is unhealthy, I am going to focus on all of the inconsistencies and fallacies in his argument.…

McDonaldization is defined as, “the process by which the principles of the fast-food restaurant are coming to dominate more and more sectors of American society as well as the rest of the world.” This paper will discuss two different cafes which conduct the same matter of business, however one business conducts more like the principles of “McDonaldization” compared to the other business which is a local café in Dubuque that is more traditional (has a less emphasis on the formal rationality).
