Human Cloning

         Many people feel human cloning is a violation of the natural order of things and that all research in the area of human cloning should be banned. Others feel that this is natural progression of science and human evolution and that research in the area of human cloning should be a priority. In human cloning what is there to see and know about it. Human cloning can have its pros and cons in the process and people's opinions as well. Would you go against human cloning, or in favor of it? How would you feel if you had another identical yourself.

         Human cloning is the creation of genetically identical copy of a human, not usually referring to birth, but to a human cell or human tissue. The ethics of cloning is an extremely controversial issue.  Cloning an organism involves replicating the DNA of that organism in a new organism that, as a result, has the same exact features and charatcerisitcs. Human cloning would mean recreating the person that is being cloned.

           Human cloning has its pros and cons at times. Cloning in human beigs can prove to be a solutionb to infertility. Cloning has the potential of serving as an option for producing children. Cloning may make it possible to reproduce a certain trait in human beings. We will be able tp produce people with certain qualities, human beings with particular desirable triats, thus making human beings a man-made being. Cloning may allso help us combat a wide range of genetic diseases. Cloning can make it possible for us to obtain customized organisms and harness them for health benefits of society. Also, can serve as the best means to replicate animals that can be used for research purposes. Some cons can be cloning created identical genes. It is a process of replicating a genetic constitution, thus hampering the diveristy in genes. While lessening the diversity in genes, we weaken our ability of adaption Cloning detrimental to the beauty that lies in diversity. Whil cloning allows man to tamoer with genetics in human beings, it also makes deliberate reproductio of undesirable traits, a probability. In cloning human organs and using them for transplant, or in cloning human beings themselves, technical and economic  barriers will have to be considered. Human cloning can put rights at stake.

         In my opinion, I would feel that it is a violation of the natural order of things and that all research in the area of human cloning should be banned because it is not right to make clones even though scientists might use this for an experiment. Even though if it would be for that, I dont think its a good idea to do human cloning because someone doesn't really know what the clone would be use for and what harm can it make to the world if there was doubles everywhere. Reproductive Cloning on humans has been banned in many countries including USA and UK.In cloning a human, no one really knows if they can have the same intelligence and capabilities as normal human beings have. Human cloning is really risky, even though it can help people to produce new organs for transplanting old organs. I just think it isn't right to do human cloning and it should stay banned.

Essay Prompt #13

Communication among people

            Many of us spend hours in front of our computers and communicate more by e-mail or instant messaging than in person because it helps shy people communicate more openly with others. Others say that computer communication prevents us from developing interpersonal skills and limits our ability to have significant relationships with others. What do would be more helpful to us? How can this issue affect us in our daily life? Well, we can communicate in different ways in life, but how you communicate with someone depends how it can affect you in ways through out time.

        Why do people communicate more by e-mail or instant messaging than in person?  People communicate more by e-mail or instant messaging than in person because of the shyness people carry inside them and can open freely with others. This helps people like me express things without getting judge in a way by someone in person or making the conversation into an argument. For example, many people have their instant messaging and talk to people they are barely meeting or already know. The thing is that while communicating over computer and you feel it would be better for someone to say something personal well it can be good in the way of letting what you have inside that might be hurting out or just speaking your mind, what we do not know is while doing this the message/conversation can be save and posted up to people that you may have ask not to find out about it. Sometimes people can be shy enough to say something in person to someone else in the way of thinking how would we reacting to what you have to say or just not your thing of talking things out because that is just how one is in general.  When meeting people through the computer communication, it can be a good thing to make new friends, or to meet strangers, why. Because meeting new people helps people conversed with each other to get to know one another and learn new things, but people do not know that while the communication gets interesting they might not know if someone is lying, pretending to be someone else, or just trying to mess around with you. This can happen if you do not know how the person may look like and get curious with too many questions or says. It can be risky at the same time it can be good to communicate if you had a problem with your phone or just want to rather conversed through e-mail or instant messaging.

         Why do other people believe that computer communication prevents us from developing interpersonal skills and limits our ability to have significant relationships? People as well as me, do not always like talking things out face to face in the fact of being shy and just rather not have the courage to have a conversion one on one in person for different reasons. Many have thought it would help you in the way of speaking and saying things when talking in person. It can also start to get the shyness away from you through the time when communicating. For example many can say it would be a good idea to be open minded in person, but others can say we should be careful of what to say that is where the trust can begin and is felt by someone if the communication goes well. In the world there is many forms of communicating in life, but someone’s life can not be fully told behind those keyboards and it can influence bad attitudes that is why it is better to communicate most of the time in person to have a better understanding and knowing who and what you are saying to each other.

           In my position, I use to do more of computer communicating than in person because of my shyness, but also I was scared to know how it would be if what I said in person would turn out to be or seem to others. Well I use to stay in the computer for hours chatting with friends, and doing homework at times. It really was not good for me to be doing this because I began to get my vision blurry and I had less communication in person with my friends, I did not feel telling really comfortable to say something out. The communication with my friends in person began to get better when I was getting to know my boyfriend because if there wasn’t really communication then what else would you call the contact between two people. My boyfriend and I have been working in our communication as in talking things out in person to feel and see the honesty between us two and know there is no hidden stuff among us. When two people have communication face to face then there is a significant relationship among them. Communication in relationships or friends is not the only things people do they also communicate to do team work and participate in events, etc. After going through computer communication, it came to my mind that it would be more helpful to have a conversation in person to feel that there is trust and is not a confusion of explaining things. Many have a confusion or hard time to explain something through e-mail or instant messaging because of too much writing. Others learn to speak stuff out in person just to save time up on the computer or because it can sound better what you have to say then written down. Everyone has their different opinion in this, but some can be similar to others.

        In conclusion, many people communicate differently depending on how they are (personality) and how they take in consideration communication through computer (e-mail and instant messaging) and communication in person. In my point of view, it is better to speak your mind out most of the time in person to learn to get the shyness out of you and to see the difference and trust someone can have on someone else in talking things out and getting to know one another more. You have to know how to say things properly depending on the person you might be trying to talk to. The way of communicating is an important thing in people’s life in the world.

New Sandwich

The sandwich I would invent is a salad guacamole sandwich. This sandwich doesn't really need to be for people that are in a diet, it can be just for people that would like to try new things even though it may sound nasty. This sandwich would have two wheat breads with lettuce, chopped tomato, guacamole, chopped carrots, chopped cucumbers,broccoli and ranch. It may sound crazy putting all these items, but they are nutrient for a human being that should at least it this once ot twice a week. It doesn't really cost you to try something healthy for your tummy.

Won them!!! Yay!

The time I won something took me strength and dedication to it. I won the good strong trust of my two wonderful parents when maturing myself over time. I won my parents the hard way because I know it wasn't easy to tell them many things and don't know what I would expect in turn if an advice or a yell. Winning my parents wasn't easy because imagine not being the only daughter they have and trying to manage their time to talk to us or just chill with us if my other siblings can get jealous. I began to talk to my parents about school and how it was going and what wasn't going really really well. I was scared at first to talk to them straight out, but my mom especially had said if you just need to tell me something, anything you can tell me. Well, I had told her I didn't have the guts to because I would be scared she would get mad. It's funny because it would feel weird talking to my dad about what is happening with me at times . Through time, my parents and I had better communication because I took a step to say something to them about having time for me to talk about what is going on in my life and that I had the right to start to confront what I need to at times with them. Their trust really made a big difference in my life because now sometimes I can hang out with my friends often if possible but before I really couldn't because they would be worry what I would be doing and with who. Parents can be like really over protective, but somtimes they have to take a break and realize we not little kids nomore, more like teenagers. Putting my trust on my parents and my parents giving me that trust back really helped do to many things(previleges) or say many things without worrying of the reactions after things are said. Happy to have won that trust from my parents!

What superpower would I mostly like to have?

The superpower that I would mostly like to have is invisibility. I would like to have invisibility superpower because I would like to see how people would react with me scaring them and make them think they going crazy, especially my friends. I would like to be invisible to see what things are done when I am supposely not around. Also, I would choose this as my superpower because at times people don't want to be seen when they might get embarrass or hiding of something that occurred. My invisibility would help me take cover when necessary like getting in trouble, shyness, or even just cause you having a bad day. Kids would take these superpowers to play around as if they were heros and "help out" the world, or hiding.

Spending an afternoon with ...

If I could spend an afternoon with one member of my extended family, it would be my aunt/godmother, one of my dad's brother's wife.My aunt is sort of young in her twenty's. I would spend my afternoon with her one reason is because she is outgoing and cool person. She always has a interesting conversation about anything, but also she gives advice for me when it comes handy in fixing problems or not making mistakes with friends. She is the person I would go out to shop with beacuse she and I both like to take our time to look at the clothes and shoes. She and I would also watch movies together and take me out to work with her. Some people may think it would be boring to work with an adult but her job isn't boring. i enjoy helping her and she makes things we do fun and interesting. My aunt/godmother is the greatest aunt/godmother I am happy to have because she can act like an old teen with me and make the afternoon I would spend with her a really good day.

Visiting the moon...

Would you want to visit the moon? I know I will want to visit the moon if there was a possiblity. I would want to visit the moon because I can get a closer view of the stars. I would lay on the moon and observe the nice, clear, quiet night sky. I would like to see how it would be to sit on the moon and watch everything that is happening in the city, which I doubt it. I think everything under the moon would be small to observe from a far distance apart. The moon seems like a white, circular natural satellite to visit. I think since I like heights it would be a good experience to try new things and take a visit to the moon.

Meal I would cook...

If I could cook any meal for my family, I would cook Mexican Cheese Enchiladas. Enchiladas are Mexican wheated-flour or corn pancakes that can be spread with some spicy salsa and stuffed with almost anything in handy, but in this case it will be stuffed with cheese. Start by making the salsa: first tip the tomatoes into a sieve over a bowl to let the excess liquid drain away. Next remove the stalk from the chilli, cut it in half, remove and discard the seeds, chop the flesh very finely and place it in a bowl. Then add a little less than half of the chopped onion, the drained tomatoes, and season well with salt and pepper. Now give everything a thorough mixing. Meanwhile, mix the 2 cheeses together in a bowl if you would like. Next put the frying pan over a high flame to pre-heat and, when it's hot, dry-fry each of the tortillas for 6 seconds on each side. Place one tortilla on a flat surface and spread a tablespoon of salsa over it, but not quite to the edges, sprinkle over a heaped tablespoon of the cheese mixture, then follow this with a tablespoon of the crème fraîche. Then roll the tortilla up and place it in the baking dish with the sealed-side down. Repeat this with the others, then spread the remaining crème fraîche on top of the tortillas in the dish and sprinkle the rest of the salsa over the top, followed by the remaining cheeses and red onion. Now place the dish on a high shelf of the oven for 25-30 minutes, and serve absolutely immediately. This is how you would make cheese enchiladas.

There was something about the way she makes me laugh. Everytime I am around her she has to come up with her jokes and comments of people doing something funny just to make me laugh. She always finds a way to make my day fun. She is always there for me giving me advice even though it may be funny and work. She is a great friend to spend my time laughing my butt off with. This girl is so hilarious with her way of being generally. Is it the way she says things that makes me laugh? Is it the face? Is it the smartness in her that brings out the funnyness? I don't know really what it is, but whatever it is makes me laugh either way.

These children would at least be happy to see someone really willing to help them in life since their parents left them behind and didn't care for them. The hundred dollars would really help out this orphanage thats why I wuld give it away to them.

Do you remember the day you came back?

Television Violence

Many people believe that television violence has a negative effect on society because it promotes violence. The effect of television violence on society has been clearly studied and vigorously debated. Among the scientific and public health communities, viewing violence poses a harmful risk to children/teenagers. Researchers claim that exposure to television violence leads to real-life aggression. Nearly two out of three television programs may contain some violence, avergaing about six violent acts per hour. Fewer than five percent of these programs featured on anti-violence theme or consequences of violence. Violence was found to be more prevalent in children's programming about sixty-nine percent than in other types of programming about fifty-seven percent. Violence can lead children/teenagers into brutal behavior. Teenagers may become numb to violence not just due to the huge volume of violent content being shown on television, but also because of the forms that the descriptions of violence often take. Children's cartoons exaggerate violence, but also teenagers have a form of violence of the "reality shows". Graphic descriptions of brutal violence are common in television programming. By the time a teenager, sees outright violence on television, we may have become accustomed to violence and no longer are shocked by such content. I said we because I am also a teenager not going through television violence, but just a teen. Television violence can make easy transition in the teenager from the fiction of a television program to the factual circumstances of our lives. Television violence may have an even more dramatic effect on us teenagers who already have emotional problems and have demonstrated aggressive behavior in the past. Also, television violence can bring up people risking their lives in content that is dangerous.Violence takes away a teenager the good way to become an educated individual. Some other effects of television violence are its a sort of addiction for the impressionable teenager, and the time that this television viewing occupies takes away from the time that the teenager would most likely be used to study, read, or enrich our lives. A common perception among most people today is that urban teenagers are all violent thugs with no moral compass. Violence occurs overall because of the large violence numbers of drug addicts, homeless individuals, and poor, all of whom may turn to violent crime to gain the money they need for theit addictions or their families. In conclusion, nit has been shown that television can have negative influence on teenagers mostly. This is why I agree with many people about television violence has a negative effect on society(children/teenagers).
