Difficult to Define a Human

It is very hard to define a human. A human has various details. Every single human is different and have different characteristics. There are various reasons why its hard to define a human but im only going to explain two main reasons.

The first main reason is that every human being has there own characteristics. It will be impossible to find a human that look alike and have the same talents as there partner. You maybe able to find people that look alike ,but not the same talents its is highly doubted. If you do find some people like that you should be given a world record that you found a pair of people with the same talent and look alike. Now back to the point it is impossible to be able to define human.

The second main reason is that the differences of how other people act. You can probably find a majority of people that act the same but highly doubt that everyone will act the same.

That is it for this blog post. Here is a link to all the questions you have!

Your words define your actions, and your actions define you.

     At first when I was given this idea that actions define you, I thought it was as simple as that. That actions define who you are. But after reading this article my whole point of view had been changed, the article shows an example of a man, a man Hauls at a man and punches them in their face then walks away, and says nothing. Sounds like a criminal type right? but if he says, "If you ever touch my ten year old daughter again I'll do worse!" Then it's a whole different ball game, people root for the man then, but previously they would be on the other mans side, the man who gets punched would be the victim here. But just a few words and its a different story, this is an example that shows that if an action is done without words it could be less reasonable than it would be if you spoke out.

     It is not only the action that defines who you are, it could be the difference of being either a hero or an evil-doer, it is also the words which define you. For instance, if you saw a man with a gun and he pulls the trigger, and then the man of who was being aimed at drops, you would immediately infer that he shot him. But there is always a back story to everything that you see, he could be shooting some type of fake bullet and the other man drops as a form of acting. In that sort of situation you might have accidently done something extreme, perhaps running at the armed murderer and pushing him off the cliff. Now that would be bad, one thing you have to do before making extreme decisions, is that you have to observe everything that happened very very closely, otherwise you might end up throwing someone off the cliff!! 

     I'm sure I'm not the only one that made this mistake, but one time, I saw two kids with their fists in a ball and swinging at each other, I immediately thought it was a full on fight, but they were doing near miss punches (a form of play fighting where you swing at the target but nearly miss/skin them). I broke up the fight and I ended up stupid breaking up a play fight... I'm starting to get off track here... What I'm trying to say is without words, you can't really be sure of the actions that are being presented to you, words define an action, and actions define you.

Who Deserves What?



Some people might say that a rapist deserves to die, no mercy should be shown. Others might say that the rapist is a human and deserves the same treatment that any other human would get.

Well my opinion of the matter varies. A rapist shouldn't get the same type of treatment a freeman should get. The rapist or person has done wrong should be punished for their wrong doing, and if any type of mental illness has occurred they need to be treated and once they are cured they may have the same treatment that a freeman would have.

But, a freeman and a freeman should be treated with the same type of respect and treatment as any other man. No matter race, gender, and religion. 

In our society unfortunately we can see people not being treated equally because of their race, gender, and religion. And it will never change. I have heard people say that the United States is definitely 100% equal to everyone. Well that's a lot of garbage. In present time, a man will get paid more than a woman would. Does that sound 100% equal to you? Someone might not hire any other race unless they are the same race as the person. 

In the story The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer, a boy named Matt is a clone and is treated like a dog. The people treat him terrible because he is a clone. That is not right at all. I could see if Matt looked like a dog, but he doesn't. He looks like any other kid on the block, no different than any other human. Yet, he is still treated terrible. People ignore him, think he is a beast, because of him being a clone. 

In this day in age we don't have the clone problem (not yet anyways), we have the problem of race, gender, and religion differences.

In the article "Clinton: All people deserve to be treated with dignity", Hilary Clinton says, "All people deserve to be treated with dignity, no matter who they are or whom they love." This statement speaks for itself. No matter how different someone may act, look, or think. They deserved to be treated equally.

CLONING IS REALLY JUST NATURE


Hey hey. So you might be wondering why my title is "CLONING IS REALLY JUST NATURE", right? Right. I went online and found this website article thing that has this cool 8 minuet long video about cloning and I have to admit, I couldn't care less if someone cloned me! [:

The big question here is does science and morality have anything to do what each other. My answer is yes and no. Basically what this scientist guy is saying is that cloning happens everyday with humans! Yeah. EVERYDAY. It's when a mother has twins which are like 2 copies of one person. Trust me; the scientist guy explains it waaaaaaaaaay better. His accent is just so convincing!

Anyway, it's true when people say if you clone someone you're, "playing God". But God knows everything. Like past, present, and future. So if He allowed you to make a clone or even discover that it's possible then He obviously did it for a reason!

Just watch the video please; it would totally prove my point. The scientist guy also gave a good example of some lady or couple that sent him a letter or something saying that they had a baby with a brain problem and died. The couple was wondering if he could use the tissue from the baby to clone him and see what their little Mark was going to turn out to be. That's sad right?

Back to the big question, in my optinion it's fine because what are the morals against creating a clone? That you're trying to play God? Well he created this for some reason right? Having twins is also kinda like cloning. And when women need help having a child they're given drugs or something that causes her eggs to come out more, potentially leading to having twins ARTIFICIALLY.

It's like, nothing is real anymore these days so why fight it? xD

The role were given, Should we except it?

                                                                   Excepted or Denied
Everyone has different roles to play in life,and we should except the role we are given? I have to completely disagree with this, because just because someone lables you as something it is not always who you are. In these articles they all give different examples of how society looks at a group to judge them, and the group excepts the judgment as their reallity.
 
If you are  not sure what I am talking about I will give you an example, that applies to my life. Ok as you all know my race, some people feel that it is their place to categorize me. People often love to ask me whether I like koolaid or fried chicken which are both tacky sterio types. I feel the color of my skin has nothing to do with the piece of meat I prefer or the drink I like best. I have grown a tolerance for the childish jokes; because I have realized if I react how it is expected, I will be placed back in the race box.
 
It is a sad truth that people want to be excepted so bad they will except this harsh title, that is placed above their heads. If someone says you are a killer, because your father was a killer, why would you except that. Sometimes we have to listen to what people say, and decide for ourselves if we like the way that sounds, when someone is referring to you.
 
 
The role are given in life, should we except it? I would not, but can you? Sure. If you like for people to judge you based on someone in the past, hey that is cool for you. Live in a box, and except the role you were given. Once you take the role, it is your responsibillity.

What is a Human?

As simple as it sounds, the definition of human is commonly misunderstood by many. It's one of those words where you have to look up right when it gets you thinking. According to this dictionary page it is any individual of the genus homo, especially a member of the homo sapiens. This may sound true however this is the scientific definition of a human being. Is there a way to put it in your own words? Well I believe that a human is an individual creature in which it has it's own opinions and way of life along with it's individuality in physical and mental appearance. Either way it has something to do with individuality but how are we all alike as in a species? Well most of us have similar characteristics such as having eyes and ears although some may not be grown up with them we were meant to be created with a similar structure. And although others may disagree with my definition I bet it will follow the same path as my statement.


Therefore the definition of the word human is like an opinion. There's no right from wrong and every one has their own. So, what I'm basically trying to tell you is that there is a definition for this word that is so mind blowing when it comes to trying to put it in your own words. Yes, there is a definition but there's one from all of us and I believe we can all agree that we are all alike in some ways thus making are ideas and opinions about our self's less complicated when it comes to expressing them to one another.    

Animal testing, according to this article, is cruel

     Animal testing is used to find cures for diseases which humans are currently infected with. But in order to test cures on animals they have to be infected with diseases first, for example, in order to test cures for brain cancer, first they must be infused with brain cancer, otherwise there would be nothing to test on. That is surely the cruelest part of animal testing, they have to go through the immense pain that the disease brings to them, and most of the time they end up dieing from the disease, or even worse, living with the disease.

The costs of animal testing is unefficient and expensive, it would  be much cheaper to use alternative sources, such as cadevers, instead of using minks, which people in the university of collegedale use, they could much rather use cadavers which are cheaper and more efficient. Some say it is a necessary evil to test on animals for the sake of saving humans. It isn't fair to the animals, many people would speak for these mute animals which are forced to be tested on, if they could speak up I am sure that they would rather not volunteer to be testing dolls, if they could speak up I'm sure they would not want to be infused with diseases like cancer or other types of diseases, I know I wouldn't, and animals have a mind of their own and they shouldn't be treated so differently as to how humans are treated.

I know that it would be much more efficient to use other alternatives, such as cadavers, and other than those, you can use corrositex, to measure the amount of corrosiveness, and another source is computers, you can program it to show how a disease progresses and how it festers, it would be much better than hurting animals.

Overall I think that testing on an animal is unfair, costly, and unefficient.

(This blog post was hard because I would much rather argue for how it is efficient and necessary)

Animal Testing

Animals always have it bad for them. There is various reasons, but the main one is animal testing. Testing animals to people are good for somethings but sad at the same time. It is good in some cases like dieases.

The main reason why animal testing is good is because animals never stop breeding. When animals breed they have about six babies. So if you test on an animal that has six babies it wont really matter. It is good because if there is a diease, they can inject it and see if it harms the animal. If it doesnt harm it then it will be able to let out to the natrual enviroment. That is a short way to explain this reason.

In an article named "Why America Should Ban Animal Testing" it states that animal testing costs a lot. Well if the scientist were smart they wouldnt waste there time testing animals they could donate to a charity or dosomething for the community. It also states that 90% of the wild animals have it worse than labotory animals. Well, would a animal be locked up in a cage or be out in the wild you answer that! My facts are stated!

Yea animals have it bad for them but look at the animals in cages at the labatory. Yes it is good to test the animals but also very cruel!

I REALLY DON'T CARE


So Glenn Gordon had a lot of good points in his article, but i would still not agree with him. I'm 99.9% okay with animal testing!

If we didn't have animal testing then where would we all be right now? PROBABLY DISEASED AND DYING. Well maybe. I really don't understand what he meant by testing on dead people. How are scientists gonna do that? "Oh let me just infect this dead tissue with mold and see how the white blood cells are gonna fight it off! Wait, THE BODY'S CELLS ARE DEAD." Even if they find some "good" way to do that on dead people I probably still wouldn't care. I'm actually whatevers about all of this.

Okay sure animals have feelings but I mean they're already for people's pleasure anyway by being pets. And the mice; well why don't you make an article about mice being sold to snake owners to feed thier snakes?! HUH?! Yeah, there's something you might find interesting since every little unnessesary arguement gives you the urge to write an article against it. They don't have souls anyway so if they die then they just die.

Then Glenn says we treat animals as an inferrior species, or something like that. Well sorry but I don't see fish with a presidant or dogs who pay taxes or rats who go to school for an education. Um, yeah. They are inferrior compared to us.

And apperantly using animals is "incredibly costly". I don't know about you but I'd pay $1,000,000,000,000 to help find a cure for cancer if I had the money. Plus don't scientists get grants and stuff? I'm pretty sure they do! Plus the US is in debt anyway so #YOLO! Haha, just kidding. But seriously, if you need to pay for food for the snimals it wouln't be much of a big deal cause you know why?! BECAUSE THEY ARE LIKELY TO DIE SOONER ANYWAY. [:

In conclusion, I believe it's okay to test on animals. It's better for humans annnnnnnnnnnnnd... well yeah! Glenn, you had good points but I think we all know that deep inside I'm right. [:

Protect The Animals! No Argument.


In response to the article "Reasons We Should Protect Our Animals" I totally agree with there reasons for protecting animas. There reasons are because it to expensive, it's cruel, and because there are other effective ways than using animal.

I especially agree with there reason. "... there are far more efficient alternatives to animal testing." I agree strongly with that point because there are so many other ways of testing to where you don't have to use and hurt animals.

 It is crazy that our society chooses to hurt animals instead of using something less harmful, less expensive, and is still as effective. Why would anyone choose to hurt an animal rather  than using a computer. And with the computer and other things instead of animals, you can use it more and get the same if not better results.

 So I do not understand why people chose to use animals. It is like they want to hurt the poor, innocent, and defense less animals. More people need to stand up for the defenseless animals, because it this rate Humans will be the only thing on the Earth.

Animal Testing.... Oh I Mean Animal Cruelty

Many people consider animal testing to be a safer way to insure that medicine is efficient enough for human consumption, when in reality not only does it deeply affect the animals, it also leaves a bad impression on today's way of showing something is safe, by using it on an innocent animal. Animal testing has got to come to an end due to the fact that animals, which are like are neighbors kind of, are creatures that share the world we live in which gives us no right to mistreat them in order to make sure something isn't toxic. Not only is it cruel, animal testing is also expensive, therefore banning this cruel act can give us a bit more time and money to keep animal's and their habitats safe instead of putting them in jeapordy. But how will we know that medication is safe for the consumption of humans? Well, there has been found a skin-like substance that mimics our body thus giving scientist and doctors the right data of whether or not the medication is safe. Either way if I made a medication that had a risk of affecting someone negativily I would throw it in the trash. We have to take care of animals as if they were kids. Therefore banning Animal testing will prevent animal cruelty thus making the world a more peaceful place not only for us but also for our fellow "neighbors." Banning this cruel injustice shall benefit us all not in a bad way but in a positive nice way.

Black Friday

Black Friday is the day after what you are thankful for. The day when there is violence is involed. This is the most favorited day of the whole year. There is only one main reason, and that is the deals!

The main reason why Black Friday is brutal is because of the great amount of deals. Here is one of the websites of the deals. People in the United States acually fight over anything during Black Friday. Recently, over five people have been shot over a stupid little thing during the sales of Black Friday. The deals in the stores like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target etc. are out of the ball park they are so low. That is the main reason why Black Friday is what it is.

Some may differ about the deals, and the brutalness that happens during Black Friday. Like, the deals are not that low. Well guarenteed if you look at the link in the other paragraph you will find low deals like nothing. If somebody says something about the fights the only thing to say is search in Youtube Black Friday fights.

Well the most favorited and funniest to video tape day is Black Friday. This day is all about low deals and the burtalest fight ever seen live.
