What have learned from doing a research paper.

Before doing a research paper, I had a wrong idea that doing a research paper was a very complicated. I didn’t have any idea how to do a research paper? Yeah, it is complicated if anybody do not know the process of doing it. When my Prof .teaches us the techniques, it becomes easier to me. Process involves:
The more you search the more information you will get.
Read your topic both positive side and negative side.
If you support positive side and you are getting negative information more, do not worry, still you will gain knowledge and will be able to write. You can make counter argument.
You can find information from e-books by searching Google books and Amazon. Com. find scholarly articles from Academic search complete and Lexis Nexus Academic For me doing a research paper is a great experience. I know how to write a work cite page and how to write a bibliography. These are a enormous achievement which will help me rest of my study life. Everything I mentioned above is new for me. Finally my expression is I am very happy to do the research paper and also very happy to get a very nice and helpful Prof.

Super Size Me

The movie” Super Size me” documented by Morgan Spurlock is a real example of American people who eat fast food too much and become obese. By watching the movie I become to know that one hundred million people of U.S.A are overweight. Americans are very much fond of fast food and every four in one people go to the fast food restaurant especially in McDonald’s everyday. The McDonald has run its business all over the world and in the United States; it is contributing forty three percent of total fast food markets. In the school lunch, you see all fast food like potato fries, fried chicken and fried rice, burger, pitzza, sandwiches. All the students know very well the cartoon of MacDonald’s. They do not know even the Jesus.

Trough this movie, Spurlock shows us by taking an experiment on himself that eating fast is bad for health. Showing that if a person takes his or her meal like fast food continuously a month what the consequences will be? For his 30 day’s of experiment, he ate nothing but MacDonald’s and the consequences were terrible. He gained nearly 25lbs and his body fat increases about 11 to 18%. In addition, his cholesterol level increases 165 to 270. His liver became fatty and he lost sex drive. American children are growing up with fast food bearing knowledge because of huge fast food advertises in the television. Fast food industry spend 1.4 billion dollar for advertisement where fruits and Vegetables Company spend 2 million dollar.

The most heartbreaking scene in this movie is two girls become overweight because of eating fast food. And other example of this movie is the school boy was crazy for McDonald’s. These examples show that how Americans are influenced by eating fast food.
He pointed out the medical problems which are life threatening. Hypertension, breast cancer, nausea, chest pain, high cholesterol, gestational problem etc. are common health problems for obese people.
In conclusion, this movie is representation of the problem of eating fast food. People should understand that taste is not the main thing. We have to choosy about food for being healthy.
