When looking at the selecting or filtering of information it seems natural to discuss Broadbent’s bottleneck theory of attention (as cited in Broadbent, 1958). Broadbent proposed that incoming information is filtered out early based on physical characteristics, thus suggesting the majority of received information is not consciously processed. In the aforementioned procedure Broadbent discovered participants were able to recall information (sets of numbers) simultaneously presented to each ear…

Do you ever just get on a social network and post about how you are doing or where you are at and what you are doing that day? Many of us are guilty of this, but very few to none think about any of the consequences. Whatever the reason may be for one to have a social network, my research shows we need to pay closer attention to what we post; we have no control over who can really see our profiles. Everyone needs to understand the good and the bad consequences of having social networks. Weigh out…

meat packing plants that begs the question (Fast Food Nation). His work bears a remarkable similarity to Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle written almost one hundred years ago. Schlosser wrote his book from a different approach but contains shocking information of how our meat is still processed today. He is rightly known as the Upton Sinclair of today. Schlosser went on a meat packing tour and explored the meat packing plant for himself (169). At the time of his book, he stated that meat packing…

binary images. This said to be pre-processing of images. Then filtering was performed for removal of noise from images. Color of traffic light was detected based on threshold values. Hough transform was done for the detection of shape and based on the medval the road signs are classified. Fig 1 represents the work flow of the proposed system. 3.1 Pre-processing of images Before extracting information from the image, it is necessary to apply some pre-processing procedures. The first step is to…

thirty-eight (Pollan 113-117). This is just one of the many bizarre and often dangerous results of the conduct of the food processing industry. Many other foods carry a much higher risk. Americans should be made aware of the questionable practices used during commercial food processing to allow them to make informed decisions about what to buy and eat. Many of the problems with the food processing industry are a direct result of the issues in corn production. The United States Department of…

Eric Schlosser, in his book, Fast Food Nation, advocates for changes in how American food is recently being produced in meatpacking industries. Schlosser’s purpose is to end meatpackers ability to sell and raise their cattle as they wish even if it is less than acceptable. He argues against the corporate corruption using the devices of anecdote, logos, and tone. Schlosser begins chapter nine of his book by narrating the consequences of the industrialization of beef in america. He appeals to the…
