In addition, it attracts many tourists because of its historic district. I really enjoy driving everyday about 35 minutes along the tall trees and the green fields before I get in the torture house (that’s what I use to call my work place). I begin working at 4 pm and I usually get off after 1 am. I felt tired especially because this is my first job in my life. The good thing is I get paid weekly, it was a 10$ per hour, it was not enough for me to take care of my family.

In addition, the education…

Durham’s also paid their employees pennies on the dollar with no overtime pay or breaks. Durham’s takes advantage of the uneducated European immigrants just as…

As we all know, food production has drastically increased in the past 100 years. With the development of fast food companies such as McDonalds, who are the biggest buyers of potatoes, pork lettuce, tomatoes and apples, food production corporations like IBP (Tyson Foods), Smithfield Foods, JBS USA (Swift) and Cargill Foods, had to adjust to the large demand. This made the companies, which in 1970s controlled 25% of the market, today control more than 80%. Significantly fast increase in…

Jake Rompala Blue “Food, Inc.”, published in 2008 by Director Robert Kenner, was made to show us how our food is processed, sold, and processed again.

many CFU’s his chickens had compared to the monopolizing companies like Perdue and Tyson. The other argument raised was to take our meat back to what it originally was grass fed and hormone free meat production. Many big name beef companies do not allow their cows to feed on grass, but are corn fed. These cows have bacterial problems in their stomachs caused by eating the corn, which leads to disease and sickness. The cows are left standing knee high in their own feces so that if one cow gets…

made it to the throne after the passing of her brother Edward VI. Most notably, Queen Mary I’s short reign of five years can be seen as sheer terror. During her reign, Queen Mary I’s primary focus was on making the entire country go through catholic restoration. In the textbook, Early Modern England 1458-1714, historians Robert Bucholz and Newton Key state, “For those, protestants who could not leave and would not recant, Mary and Pole had one last remedy: burning at the stake.
