my mom said he had to deal with a lot with dying because she is getting older and some of things that young people take for granted she cant do anymore. but my mother wasn't bothered with the fact that she was going to die she was more focused on whats happening now. she understands that death of dying comes with life so she just wants to live the best life that she can. i guess my mother has a point because thinking about death is a waste of time because time doesn't wait for people. we have to focus in what happening now because we exist now we don't know whats going to happen after we die so we need to just live our lives. well until it starts happening to you. but my mother does want my grandmother anywhere near the hospital because my mother doesn't want to lose her. i find that interesting because i thought the same way i didn't really care about dying or people dying i just cared about the people that i know that could be in that situation. i think most people in the world think like that as will people don't care about things until it happens to them, like a skinny person that becomes fat because his unhealthy diet but the skinny person thought that it would never happen to them because they were born skinny. i wonder if that's being selfish our its in our subconscious to act that way.

i haven't experienced much with illness and dying because i have all my grand parents and when they are sick i don't get to see them. i guess every person deals with illness and dying differently. it must be hard to see a loved one go through an illness because you wouldn't want to be in there situation just laying down wondering whats going on outside of the hospital walls. illness is a state of poor health and dying is on the road to death. somethings that confuse me about illnesses is when people make fun of illnesses certain people get offended but when we make fun of a perfectly healthy person people laugh. why cant everything be funny or why cant people stop making fun of people. my experience with is just people talking about there family or people making fun of illness and dying history i have no real personal history. i think the people that get offended when people make fun of an illness and still laugh at a healthy person wardrobe or how they look is a hypocrite because you still making fun of someone on someone else expanse. i wouldn't know what to to if someone that i knew was dying or had an illness, there wouldn't be that much to do in the first place since you don't have the illness or your not dying. all i would do is make the person feel comfortable as they can until that certain day comes. i wouldn't give the person hope if there is none then it would be disappointing to both parties because you know that there not going to survive and the person now thinks that hes going to have a normal life. when i look at illness and dying there are two sides the people that are dying and crying and there are people that profit from us dying. i think its a big problem that private organization can profit so much in one person dying, some times i think when i go to the doctor" is this doctor going to make me sick intentionally". why does the untied states treat people so differently then the rest of the world. do you think it right what we do to certain Americans that don't have health coverage, do you think we should have hospitals that aren't owned by the government. looking back at all i wrote illness and dying is such a said and expensive thing to go through i hope my family just stays healthy and doesnt go through the pain and hardships like the others.

I've learned a lot from this unit, from what goes into our food and why our food is prepared. For the final project i choose to eat differently so tired only eating at whole foods and eat more salads. it was really difficult for me because my friends didn't want to got whole foods because of the location. I learned that a lot of factors go into choosing food then just the price and the taste. my sister always shopped at whole foods and i loved the way the food tasted but my sister said it was really expensive. but then i went there myself there was more then i thought, in the union square whole foods there is place where you can prepared food, they made the sandwiches in front of you and they list what's inside the sandwich. usually when i eat fast food i eat a lot because i thought i need to eat a lot to get, but when i just got a sandwich from whole foods i didn't really feel like eating more. i really didn't think that i would fill me up even when i went home i didn't the sudden urge to eat. when i first was going into this unit i didn't know that much. but when andy started to talk about the food unit i started to get really interested in how our food is prepared, after that i looked up a documentary called Food Inc. it talked about how our meat was prepared and the politics of the food industry. looking bak at the food unit i can see why some people don't care about what happens to our food because its really difficult to change people lives and way of thinking.
