Assignment for week 12

1.

I find our class discussion of coke cola very stimulating.  Through class discussion I understand that many of the students in class are very informed of how corporate propaganda works in our society.  It is very encouraging that it is so obvious to most students in our class that big corporations are trying various ways to boost their public image by sponsoring various charity and public health projects.  Yet their real intentions of making profit at the expense of public health is very unlikely to be altered.  After all what coke cola is selling is really carbonated sugar water, with both of its main ingredients(carbon dioxide & refined sugar) being harmful to our body.  Just by stop selling their products they can do more good to public health than all their public health projects combined.  And yet they will not consider this as an option because this runs counter to the profit making goal of the corporation.

I find the links to various cell structures very informative.  Each type of cell has it's unique structure that is suited for the survival of that particular organism.  The virus cell structure is very unique as it is not even considered to be a "living" organism.  The bacteria, plant and animal cell structures are also very different from each other.
