Go Further

I thought that the film Go Further was very well done. I really like how the group of people was devoted enough to spend so much time and travel across California to spread their message. They really pushed themselves to keep going even through injuries and opposition.

I support the groups effort to inform people on how to leave a lighter footprint on the earth. As a society we need to work on using less resources from the earth and learn how to make more resources available. The only thing that i don't agree with is the notion of only eating "raw food". I think that meat should still be eaten, just that growth hormones and other chemicals shouldn't be given to livestock before they are fed to us.

When it comes to organic food, i also agree with them. Many companies are using genetically enhanced seeds for crops, which could eventually lead to crop failures and mutated crops. When you grow food organically, it makes sure the seeds will last and also keeps harmful chemicals from getting into our food and into our environment. Organic food is not only safer for the environment but also for the consumers.

My parents chose the name Nathan for me. I don't think that they chose this name for any specific reason other than the fact that they liked the name. I looked up the meaning of my name on a couple different sites and they all gave me about the same meaning. The name Nathan comes from the old testament and means "giver" or "to give". It is also the name of a prophet from the old testament and was a son of king David.

I think this meaning suits me well because i have always been a giver when it comes to other people. I love giving gifts and I try to give help to people whenever they need it.

In the library session I learned a lot about how to look up and find books within the library system. I also found the use of the databases very helpful in finding good, useful information about my topic. Though i didn't find many print resources dealing with my topic choice, i did find a very helpful e-book that had a ton of good information.

Regarding my paper i feel that I am very well prepared and that i do not have many issues with it. I think that I have chosen a strong topic and have enough information to write a good, solid paper on it. The only thing I'm slightly worried about is the time issue since we only have one week, but i think that i should be able to put together a good rough draft within that time.
