Neglecting

   I was watching a show on tv this week and I was terrified of what i've seen on that show. The show is called Animal Cops. I do not usually wach this show ,but i was going through the chanals and there was this horse that they were trying to rescue from the owner aggressive treatment and neglection. I've never seen a horse that sick and weak. It was terrible to see how he was treated and the conditions he lived under.
 
   It makes you think ,what human being would do that to those animals?. Its insane, he didn't a decent amount of food in two months and had no water at all;only when it rained he would drink from a little bowl that was there. I can't even describe how dirty it was where he was locked up. The neighbors started to notice the smell and saw that he was locked up with no food. I think that those people shouldn't be allowed to have any animals, no animal deserves to have that kind of treatment.

Post #8 Weather affecting moods

       I don't know if this happens to other people too, but for me it's very effective. Weather changes my mood and not only that. It depends on the weather if I'm tired or happy. Sometimes I don't do anything on my days off when it rains and i feel more tired and depresed than i would feel in a completly busy day. When it;s suny and the wind it;s just a brize that;s when i feel the most energetic, i feel like it gives me strenght. I don't like high temperatures, i usualy feel sick and not the greatest mood.
   
    heard that there are people who move to different locations of the country or around the world just becuase of the climte in one place or an other. For me it's not that extreme , but if i had a choice i would move to a place without so much rain. I really think that rain is important for the environment and all that, but personaly i don't like to get wet everytime I step outside, of course we get used to it at some point I guess.

Post # 7 Stress

    I didn't hear people talking about this very often, although everybody has those times when the stress rules one's actions. I was thinking if there are such people who get along with a calm life , all peaceful or at least not having to worry everyday. Being under a lot of stress brings people sickness , loss , or even taking wrong decisons at wrong times.
   Some people do better than others when it comes to stress. Others really take it to the point where it kills them while others have learned how to deal or how to manage their emotions. Being under a lot of stess makes people think unclear , taking immediate decisons , taking wrong decisons which they won't be proud of  later. There are millions of cases where regerets came after a stress period that happened.
     I wondered if the whole purpose of this life is to have a good position , a wealthy living and then die of whatever sickness hits, from all that stress that the body carries. Is this the right way people should live, I mean, I know that we can't change much the system our world has, but can't we cut some stress from our lives.
   The reason that I thought of stress and the crazy lives some people have, is because I've seen with my own eyes a family that was under a lot of stress and how their life was. I wouldn't want that kind of life for me or for anybody elese. I thought it was the worst way to live the life you have, as some people say that there's only one life to live.
  I know it't not easy for anybody, and sometimes without wanting ,difficuties make their way into our lives. There is also a time when there should be peace , give this body a time to rest. It won't make anybody happier being wealthy and sick. Anyway , that's just the way I see it.

Post #6 Publicity affecting the way people think!

    Thinking of the way publicity affected me and other people i know , i thought i might as well just write my opinion on it.
   It is funny in a way how some don't even realize how much publicity affects them in their subcouncious. Especially for women. The way models look on tv or on magazines, wanna make them do anything possible to change their look. Then they start using lotions, makeup , surgeries  and a lot of other procedures. As much as i've seen , none of it worked for anybody as it looked on the models.

   I wonder if the only purpose of those produces is to mess with people's minds and make them feel hopeless just to buy their products! People look up to those comercials and then they start comparing themselves with the comercial images.
  I used to compare myself a lot with their looks and wondered if I'll ever look like that. I have known a lot of other people who also looked and were desperate to get that image. Some people end up sick or others depressed. Well i was just wondering... i don't know what the real purpose of the comercials are, but still it's a big issue in today's world!

Post #5 Smells

  I was talking to my friend Tatiana about smells and thinking how pople get used to new smells easily . It is kind of ineresting ,when entering a building or a different house than the one you live in. How a person senses the smell and seems hard to breath for a  moment. It is the same when entering in a hospital or a store! It takes a while for a person to adapt and get used to it.
   Some people get used faster and some need a while. But after all they just get used to it and don't sens it anymore. I never realy thought about it since i this week when i entered a building and thought for a second that i couldn't breath. But by the time i had to leave the building, i noticed that i didn't have any trouble breathing or didn't sense any difference in the air i was breathing in.
  I was wondering if there is a scientific expenation for it, or that's just the way it is?.

Post #4 Technology

    I was thinking of what we learned in class this week about the cell unit and how everything works togheter for the same purpose, to keep us going. I just went in this week  to cutomer service for computer problem i had ,while i waited in line ; i was thinking of my biology scientific paper that we have to have done. All of the sudden i found myself thinking about the cell again and comparing it to the computer system. It is true that our brain works as a Control center, but for the brain to be a control center it has to have other units that take commands.

   So the cell has a nucelus that gives all the information and all the control, but there are the organells that all help in the cycle of the cells. It seemed very funny at first, but then i tought deeper into it. If one stops doing it's job than everything goes upside down.
   
    Thinking of the computer's structure , i wondered what if the control unit breaks. It will be a bigger mess and that's when everything dies. As the nuclus is the center command of all the cell, if it dies than the cell dies! It just seemed interesting to me ...

Post # 3 Hm... healty or unhealthy foods?

    I was thinking about what we learned in class, about all those trans and cis fats  or the carbs and proteins. I went grocery shopping with my mom this week and i kind of  wached what people do when buying food. Will they stop to look at the nutrition facts or they just got what was "a favorite" food or snack. It came to my attention that some older people tented to scan the nutritional fact on the packages but not quite as many as I expected.
    I thought that for some people is not the first time they buy that kind of produce and it is normal not to waste time reading the nutritional facts. But others would just grab it and say "Let's just try it ,to see how it taste!" and it's obvious that they do not pay attention to what it contains.
    I was also thinking , that there are some people who don't know the significance of the nutritional facts on the produce and maybe that is one reason why they don't pay attention to it. There is a huge difference between people that know about it and you see them reading and comparing products and the ones that go by the "taste".
   It is also true that some people don't even care about it, and that's why they don't even want to know what it means. I think, that it could  be out of habit , or a bad addiction to unhealthy eating or large quantites.That's where eating desorders and obesity comes in, if one doesn't care now, neither would they tomorrow and later would be to late. Some become obese, some have high bood presure, and others are even worst and end up in hospitals. ,
   So that's what i was wondering walking throught the store this week. I have to say that i was surprised to  see how many people are actually carefull on their choices of food.
