The aesthetic beauty of the natural world is of great importance to the individuals who encompass it. To witness the rolling mountains of the San Fransisco Peaks and to smell the formidable pine wood trees is breath taking. This is the main reason I came to Northern Arizona University. It provides me with an environment for which school work is enjoyable. I love to sit out in the grass and breath in the fresh air while writing a paper. It not only offers a relaxing environment, but creates a world in itself. One can become entrapped within the bounds of this phenomenal world and not even know it. It's absolutely great. Plus, I find doing homework out in the open a applicable way of attaining superior work. In the end, the environment that surrounds us has a great impact in terms of our behavioral and social outlook. Thus, the way we view the world is in direct correlation to the way we view ourselves. In turn, the aesthetic environment can bring about a positive outlook toward oneself; not only bringing about positive self-awareness but also portraying life as great!

Fast food within the United States is an ever growing multi billion dollar industry that feeds off of the ever expanding ideal of quick and fast paced living. This industry, in my opinion, is one of corruption and deceit. Like a parasite feeding off of its victims, the fast food industry, too, feeds off its customers. I mean, can we truly classify eating at Burger King or Mac Donald's a choice. I mean, with all the subliminal messaging through advertisements and the media, our way of life sort of emulates around fast food. Its enough that we have to drive down the street and pass fifteen different fast food restaurants, but to have to witness the grotesque operation 24/7 through television, radio, bill boards, and posters is utterly despicable. The food that comes out of these various joints is anything but good for you. Plus, the various individual corporations themselves put chemicals in the food to make you more hungry. Is it just me or does that concept seem wrong! This industry is a plague to this earth and needs to be stopped. In the end, I believe the fast food industry needs to have stricter government regulations regarding what they can serve people.
