The problem in the video is that Nestle is essentially gaining an astronomical profit from something that is not only free from our earth but they’re selling it to consumers for a substantial price. Nestle is making over a million a day stealing water and ruining our ecosystem for profit. I think it’s wrong for a company to come in and “recycle” for a profit. Not to mention‚ they’re not contributing back to the cities they DON’T pay taxes in and they’re creating hundreds of sinkholes from digging

Taylor Byerly Acting II Marriage of Bette and Boo December 4‚2012 1. The Marriage of Better and Boo was interesting‚ what I found interesting was that it definitely got darker as the play progressed making it almost more of a dramatic piece then a comedic. I definitely liked how they set the show‚ under a circus tent.

In the Julia North thought experiment‚ Julia North’s brain is transplanted into a different body. The underlying question arising from this case is does Julia North continue to exist after the operation?

The movie I have selected to for this assignment is Erin Brockovich. This movie is not only one of my favorites‚ it also parallels one of our class themes‚ "American Dream to American Nightmare". Although less obvious‚ it also demonstrates our class theme of "reification". Because it correlates with two of our fours class themes‚ I have decided to write on Erin Brockovich.
