Review: Mozart's Lacrimosa

While listening to Mozart's Lacrimosa, I hear an orchestra playing and a choir singing. The sound is calm and serene with huge crescendos. 

The movement reminds me of rituals I have been a part of with classical music in the background. It also reminds me of studying where this kind of music would serve as white noise. There is a sad sound to it and it causes me to vividly see someone falling or being pushed off of a cliff.

Summary: Quite Possibly the most Eye Opening Six Minutes Ever on Film

In the first part of this video, chickens are fed into a conveyer where they are dropped into crates to transport them. Then that are sent down an assembly line where they are killed, hundreds of assembly lines cut, gut, and section the chickens into different groups.  In the next segment, cows are fed into a circular conveyer where they are milked while they feed. In the segment after, a female pig is on her side feeding piglets, the pig cannot move and has not choice put to feed the piglets. In the final segment it shows consumers at a store purchasing the meat and milk that probably came from the assembly lines in the previous segments. 

I believe that the purpose of this video was to show the average person what really goes on in slaughterhouses and what goes into getting food to the store. It also shows how unsanitary slaughterhouses are. It shows how inhumane the slaughterhouses are in their treatment of the animals. The food that was fed to these farm animals to make them grow to a size where they are harvestable, you could feed 10 times more people. The working conditions of the pig slaughterhouse were very dangerous.

While this video put into perspective the inhumane treatment of animals, the insanitary conditions, and how much the population doesn’t know about the food industry, there are many more that show a more alarming message. It shows a company that is necessary to feed society.

Kevin Carter Pulitzer Prize Picture

In Kevin Carters Pulitzer Prize winning photograph, a starving, young black child is stalked by a vulture on the African savannah. The child has fallen to the ground with his legs still touching soil as well as his head. His ribs are clearly visible and he looks to be near death. The vulture can be seen waiting on the ground close by the boy.

This picture contains a very deep meaning in it. it shows the hardships that many people are going through in Africa. It shows that the world is an unforgiving place and that not everyone will survive. What's more is that Kevin Carter, the photographer of this picture committed suicide after photographing scene just like this one for many years. It just shows that seeing this kind of life every day can take its toll.

New Job

Dear Current Employer,

The past several years at Pollution Risks Services have been some of the best experiences of my career. However recently I have been offered a very appealing position at another company and I have decided to accept their invitation. I hope that you understand that while I have enjoyed my time at PRS I need to do what is best for me as well as my family. If there is any way I can make my departure from the company smooth I will help in whatever way possible. Can we schedule a meeting to discuss what needs to be done to move forward with my resignation?

Thank you,

Paul Kriegel
