Can You Really Get Cancer From Eating Potato Chips?

Exactly, doctors are trying to scare people into taking percussions of almost everything. If we live the life that will "prevent" cancer, then would we be living a life at all? According to the article "How to Live Life to the Max with Beginners Mind," there are steps to living a full life. One of these steps is to "discard failure." This to me means not to have the fear of death or illness. Life of fear is not a life that anyone wants to live. There is a difference in being healthy and being scared of all the things that cause cancer. In a blog that gave tips on how to avoid cancer, the list of things to eat and not to eat limits your diet to just about nothing. You are right when you say "the things we are suppose to give up for prevention of cancer are not only boring, but ridiculous." Be healthy and you will live a long and healthy life and actually live it.

Robot love: Are we too dependent?

In my previous blog posts, I discussed our dependence on technology and the possible effects on our future generations. Because we have become so accustomed to technology, sometimes we fail to realize the extremes we have taken it to. According to Psychology Today, technology addiction is considered a new form of compulsive behavior. While typically when you think of addiction, you think in terms of alcohol or drugs. In a research paper published by Clinical Journal of Psychopharmachology by a psychiatrist at Tel Aviv University, stated that Internet addiction be on par with extreme conditions such as gambling and sex addiction. A technology addiction is clinically described as some one who prefer encounters with technology(Facebook, Surfing the Internet, Texting, etc..) over human contact. While technology has greatly benefited us, many people have substituted it for face to face human contact. This only leads me to fear the effect of this and our dependence on the generation to come.

Gay People are NOT Monsters!

Supporting my views on this issue, http://www.slate.com/id/2097048/, says that an article in Pediatrics pronounced that "a growing body of scientific literature demonstrates that children who grow up with 1 or 2 gay and/or lesbian parents fare as well in emotional, cognitive, social, and sexual functioning as do children whose parents are heterosexual." Yes there have been some readings that I have come across that do not directly say that nothing is wrong with children who grow up in homosexual families(http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2001-08-23-kids-gay-parents-usat.htm), but they also do not say that it would have a negative effect on the child/ren. This article (the one stated prior to this sentence) explains how children with either one or two homosexual parents are interested in jobs that are not typically associated with their gender. It also explains to its readers how it is difficult to tell what sex the child is based on a picture of their bedroom.
Though there may be a few down sides for children with homosexual parents, I have yet to read an article about it being bad for the child. Never did I read anything that says that the child would be scarred for life if their mother or father is gay.
In fact, the idea that children do worse when raised by gay parents appears to be based on the assumption that there's something inherently wrong with homosexuality, was posted on http://www.beachpsych.com/pages/cc121.html. I cannot do anything more than to completely agree with this statement. This is what I have been trying to get at the entire time! Sure homosexuality may not be accepted by you or your religion, but it does not mean that the person who chooses to be gay is horrid in any way. They are still human. They are still sane. They should still be treated like a human being. And they should STILL be able to create a family of their own.

Women .vs. Men: Who's Better?

After all the reasearch and opinions I have collected, I still feel as if women are better than men. Women are better than men at many things. We are becoming stronger and dominant in society. Yes we are better liars because we plan our lies out before we tell them, men do the total opposite. Also, women can express their feelings and be honest about it. Men, on the other hand, just tell women what they want to hear. Now, don't get me wrong, not all men are the same ! But majority are. Women and men are equal but then again their different. According to Men & Women: Differences, Women think logically and men grasp a situation as a whole and think globally. Women select the most valuable knowledge and pass it over to another generation. Men are builders and creators. Men get sick twice as often as women, but women care more about their health. Women endure pain and monotonous work better than men. As stated in the article, men are better than women just as much as women are better than men, just in different ways. But like I've said before, WOMEN ARE BETTER THAN MEN !

Feminists Are All Lesbian Man-haters That Yell About Nonsense, Right?

In my last blog, it seemed like there was a bit of confusion on what my article was concerning. So to put it simply, the goal I am purely striving to achieve is to help redefine feminism. In my humble opinion, I hope that feminism will stop being viewed as women vs. men, and instead initiate the idea of people vs. oppression. I also strongly sense that this cannot happen until the public willfully eliminates the man-hating stereotype and other gender-
based labels from their perceptions.

I find it particularly important to exemplify;

• the patriarchal position gives people with power the ability to define people in derogatory terms, and in return decide what is or isn’t offensive for the rest of us.
• opposition to all forms of misogynist behavior, sexist attitudes and negative stereotypes
• ending the perpetuation of gender expectations
• equal pay and opportunities for careers
• preventing domestic violence, sexual harassment, and sexual assault.

Like I stated in my first blog, feminism is for everyone. It is for the poor and the rich. It is for males and females. And it is for anyone who is ready and eager to make some changes.

What Is Really More Important?

In my last post I talked about cheaper ways to help with the environment. I mentioned composting and recycling. In this post I am going to address the harm that will come if you do not recycle and the benefits from recycling. According to http://environment-green.com/, "By recycling1 plastic bottle not only saves anywhere from 100 to 1000 years in the landfill but also saves the environment from the emissions in producing new bottles as well as the oil used to produce that bottle." This an astonishing fact and should encourage someone to recycle themselves and make a difference. Landfills are starting to consume more land every day. The United States will not be able to keep putting so much trash in a landfill. They will have to keep building more to have somewhere to put all of our trash. Think of your own lifestyle and look at the things you can change. Everyone can make a difference if they just try. So we should ask ourselves, "what is really more important?"

3D Rules the World!!

In my first blog, I mentioned the definition of 3D and why it is important. I also stated the meaning of three-dimensional and flat figures and the reasons why three-dimensional objects are more understanding. I discussed that 3D can be used in different ways, whether it's to entertain, outline, or to simply give you a greater view of an object.
In the second blog, I discussed the difference in 2D and 3D, the different advantages and why tw0-dimensions are no longer in use verses the reasons why three-dimensionals are.
There are varieties of ways in which 3D is used today; not only is it used for entertainment and business, but also for scientist and Mechanical Design.
Mechanical Designers benefit from 3D numerously, with the help of 3D, it's used to create automotive design, engineering drawings, architectural plans or electrical circuit diagrams.
Another advantage of 3D, is that it can help decrease the cost of projects and prevent errors in projects (as mention in previous blog). Why not bring an object to life and have a greater understanding/ view of it and correct what needs to be corrected.
To make a long story short, 3D is the new era and it's making a humongous impact on the people of today.
