Video

Message- we live in a systematic world and because getting food is so easy, we are gaining weight and eating more and more.




Purpose- to show the audience how food is prepared and processed. the workers looked Asian so it shows that our food is coming from other countries. Also, to help us realize what a problem obesity is coming.




Audience- I believe the intended audience was America. I think this because we are one of the most obese countries in the world and we get food imported easily from other countries




Tone- everything was sped up so we could see the progression of food preparation in 6 minutes. that's what kept our attention, because it was short and interesting to see the images. it was interesting how they went through the livestock's lives, from being alive to being butchered and then in our stores. The music was not a happy upbeat music. It was more solemn and influenced the audience in a negative way. There was no narration I believe because they just wanted to present this video to you without influencing you verbally.

Thesis Statement

Imagine being in dire need for an organ transplant but there were limited donors, and you begin to think maybe there is a better way to get organ donors.

Should we legalize organ sale?

In this article they state that Iran legalized organ sale and now there are no patients on the waiting list. This may be true but I do feel like people would abuse this new law and steal organs out of greed. People may not necessarily be directly killed, but without organs, one can die. The article also states that making the trade open, would decrease the violence and make it more acceptable. People would be consenting to the trade if it were legalized.
