Beyond Stones and Bones

            Beyond Stones and Bones is a really interesting article to read, not because how humans theoretically evolved, but how they survive for many years. Beyond Stones and Bones shows the family tree of the homosapiens.  It informs that the other human species had much smaller brain and different physical shape compare to the homosapiens. Otherwise some scientist said that homosapiens evolved from the monkeys, but to me that I am a catholic I don’t believe in that theory, but I am not disagreeing with science, and besides I respect what other people say. According to an scientist, homosapiens ancestors came from Africa, and then disperse throughout the world and evolving differently. Meanwhile homosapiens ancestors as they evolved without knowing, they use to be haunted by all kind of wild animals, but them as their brain mass was growing they started to think and eventually overtime they became the hunters, and with able to think more intelligent they were able to do incredible things. Certainly no one knows how humans evolved, or came from. Scientist traced bones and DNA them scientist find out that human like skulls had hole in them, that they say were made by big cats and raptors, and they were just amazed, but I say that how a dinosaur or a big cat died and a human ancestor didn’t to me just ironic. Otherwise this article was interesting to read.

 

Stronger Faster and Smarter

Stronger Faster and Smarter is an informative article, which tells us that running or doing any kind of aerobics makes people smarter and helps prevents Alzheimer disease. Although building muscles is considered an exercise this article says that working out doesn’t prevent or help someone being healthy. Stronger Faster and Smarter also says that doing exercise can increase blood volume which causes to produce BDNF cells. BDNF are cells that fuel almost all the activities that led to higher thought, is like a gas in our body. People that exercise daily can be smarter, personally I think that you decide whether to be smart or not because I know some people that are just incredible playing an sport but they are suck on school activities. To me an athletic person is just going to be better on a sport while not paying attention to the school, but a person that doesn’t exercise that much is going to be better at school, but is all on that person. Personally I think that that theory about exercising is true, because I experienced myself when I played soccer I feel that all my worries all gone, even though the next day I am wasted out my body want to go again, and when I go I feel like I get addicted to it is like a drug overtime that exercising help me so much not only to be fast, but also to relieving stress which makes me thinking clear. I will say that this article is very nice to read not because it makes a person smarter but to see what other person’s think.

 

 

 

 

 

The God Debate

            The God Debate was such and interesting article, and very polemical. Personally I don’t agree with the scientific theory of how humans evolve, because I believe in what the bible says, and I believe in god. Therefore I agree with Warren said in a paragraph, when god says no, and not yet to he is the only who knows better than us, and why he is doing it. Otherwise Harris that doesn’t believe in god, it is interesting what he got to say, because like Warren if we learn about other religions will we understand more about ours. The reason why this article is so polemical is because everyone doesn’t like that nobody else says something or critique our religion. Personally I will ignore, and would say nothing to critiques of my religion, to me it just depends on the place that somebody born, of course that they going to be raised according to their surrounding religions. Out of this population on earth only a couple people doesn’t believe in god. Warren said that he witness a miracle, and so do I and everyone else, our births. I have witness other miracles, when my little brother was real sick, he was about to die, and no medication work on him doctors practice thousands of x-rays and many other stuff till we pray and pray for a long time that he just got healthier and healthier everyday till he just got to be normal, without the help of any drugs, to us it was just an amazing miracle. Therefore this article was fun to read and interesting, to see what other people think about our religion.

 

 

 

 

The Green Giant

            This article had so much true, and for the first time I kind of support Arnold. The green giant says that we are responsible for the global warming, because not we only burn 40% of polluted gases, this gases include nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, methane, but also water vapor. Jean-Baptiste said the earth is like a glass ass it traps the suns heat it gets hotter and hotter over time and that is what is happening to earth. Overtime there is no going to belief as we use too see it, slowly earth life is going to decay all because our ignorance not believing that we are responsible. Otherwise I agree with Arnold that we can prevent the global warming to continue. There are many ways to prevent this, the easiest way is to drive less, this can reduce some gasses in the earth atmosphere, planting more trees, and decrease mines. Otherwise we going to have many consequences for our acts, its true that we can’t reverse the hole in the ozone, and global warming, but we can at least try to do farther damage to the atmosphere. I agree for a mass production of hybrid cars, because not only they are going to help us stop from burning more gases but is going to be best for our children children’s. Furthermore every people that wants to save the planet are doing what they can to help animals. I think this article is so important because it given us information so we can shared.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Making Of A Massacre

            The article “Making Of A Massacre” was so sadly to read. The massacre cause by a South Korean guy, he was 23 years old. Cho’s rampage was one of worst shootouts in US. Furthermore If any of the person noticed something strange before why they didn’t say something. Although he hated the rich guys one day one class he gave a speech about death and everyone freak out at the moment, later the teacher told him to stop those weird speeches or to drop the class, but he say something to the teacher. As the time approached for cho’s rampage his classmates started to skip classes because they were afraid of him. May be everyone taught that he had mental issues or something, cho also mentioned that he was like Jesus Christ, but I said that Jesus would not kill nobody for hatred. Cho’s rampage started just about 7:45 am when he shot two persons, then after he got away to another building he got into four more classrooms and claimed many lives including teachers. After the police arrived at the scene he killed himself, in total they were 32 deaths, and his death itself. Now all those beloved ones that were killed, are been remembered.
