                                                                    Nature VS Nurture  Have you thought about how you got your personality? Nature VS Nurture is a very good debatable idea that comes in everyones mind. Nature means genetic and nurture means acquired. This debatable idea is studied by psychiatrists that mostly study twins who have never seen each other or didn't know their twin even existed.    Nature refers to all of the genes and hereditary factors that influence your behavior. Twins that have never seen each other are  the best candidates to be tested to check if nature determines your behavior. Plato and Descartes are very good philosophers who believe that certain things are inborn in the environment around you, yet are in your genes. Examples of things that are inherited ...

                                                               Multiple Intelligence        After taking the MI test my result was Spatial Visual which is the interpretation and creation of visual images, pictorial imagination and expression, and understanding the relation between images and meaning. That made me find out what I can work as and that my hobbies can actually get me a job. It also made me find out the easiest way of learning which is with pictures, shapes, images, and 3D space. The MI test also helped me find out what I can work as in the future, now I can choose my subjects wisely in high school.      I think that schools should take the MI test into consideration . They can give students the test at the beginning of high school so it can be accurate, and then separ...

                                                     Americas Bombs   America has intercepted bombs sent to important people or places such as CNN, Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton and others. A bomb was also approaching the White House for Donald Trump himself as well. A weird package was also intended for the California Democratic Rep. The San Diego Union-Tribute was evacuated after the "suspicious/weird package" incident. Trump responded to these actions by saying we have to unify and become one uniform in these moments or else the people responsible for the bombs will send more and take advantage. Trump is also trying to figure out who is responsible for these actions and why they are doing them.

                                                                         Gamal Khashoggi  Gamal Khashoggi is a saudi journalist who went to Istanbul's country council and didn't come out since then. Many rumors came out as the time passed though no one found what actually happened with him until now. Egypt came out with the news that Gamal got killed in Istanbul. Personally I believe that maybe Gamal wrote or said something that would ruin Istanbul's reputation so they held him hostage, but then the story became popular and they decided to kill him. Though I also believe that Istanbul may have tortured him and he was just done with it and committed suicide.

                                                                  Favorite Toy 5 years ago both of my siblings saved money to get me barbie dolls for my 8th birthday. Back then barbies were so trendy and I really wanted one since all my friends had them.  Everyday I begged and begged for barbie dolls and I was so mad that my dad didn't get them for me when everyone had them. My siblings got me a tower of barbie dolls and since then they were my favorite toy(s) because they remind of when my siblings were actually nice to me and got me things that I want. I also liked the dolls because it reminded me of the great time I had with my friends when we traded the dolls and played with them like they were actual people. What was your favorite toy 5 years ago?

                                                                                                           Destiny or Free Will Destiny or free will? This question went around the world for centuries and generations, however no-one found the right answer because there isn't one. This is a very strong reason for arguments or debates. For me, I believe in destiny because god has everything written down foe you. People might say yes but you choose what you want to do or what you want, but I would tell them god knew you were going to choose this thing because its your destiny. There is also scientific proof that life is built on your destiny, your unconscious mind doesn't choose while it does your destiny. An exampl...

                                                     Alabama Prison Arts+Education programs       The Alabama prison provides the prisoners a chance to learn arts and have education programs.  They believe that if they give the prisoners arts and education programs, they will have a better chance at the free world. Its a few people which are  15 out of 1500 that have the opportunity to learn, discuss, and create new ideas. A prisoner says that he likes having a chance to express himself in jail and forget about his past that he doesn't want to stay with him. The Alabama arts and education project started back in 2002.     In my perspective, I believe that the project is really successful. That way the prisoners can have an opportunity and think about how they want to spend their free life in the ...
