Ratio

That map actually really surprised me. The chart with 65 years and older was predominantly female but that wasnt surprising because i has been proven that women live longer than men. There was a little more females in most countries than there was males but in a few countries there were obviously more males. I really dont know why that would be. It could be due to natural causes or there was just more males or females born in hat country. Right now the charts show that there are a lot of young boys worldwide right now and I honestly have no idea why that is.

Women Rights

I think there is definitely still sexism in the United States. The article made a few key points but I really think that sexism is waaaaay worse in other countries. Other counries dont have laws passes to protect women like we do and many of them dont do anything at all about the problem. Sexism is just like any other prejudice and it is always going to go on because we cant change everybodys opinion on things. I think there is more we could do about protecting women in the United States but to do that many women have to conffess what is going on so that the government ( if change that drasti is needed) can do something about it.

Censorship

Kids are allowed to wear Christian shirts to school and have them appear in yearbooks; why cant kids wear atheist shirts to school? Censoring this kids "God is dead" shirt is kind of bias when it comes down to it. Now I dont necassarily agree with the message on his shirt but after all arent some of our oldest laws in America freedom of speech and freedom of religion? If schools are going to censor things like that they need to censor everything not just certain things.

Cameras on Students Laptops

Putting cameras on students laptops is a complete violation of privacy. I think thats appalling. Many people have their computers sitting on in their living rooms, bedrooms, etc. Thats not only violating the students privacy but everybody else in the house at the time. I think that the students and their families have the right to sue and get angry at the school because that is unacceptable. People have their rights to privacy and a school invading those rights is not okay. Schools may be able to do that inside school walls but anywhere else it is none of their business.

Trust in the Government?

After reading that article and seeing just how few people trust the government shocked me. I think it is not ok for people to trust in their government. That is where problems come in and start ruining the flow of things. Even I dont approve with how the government is going right now. It is sad how few people feel like they cant trust our government anymore. It is lower than its been for a long time. People should be able to feel good about the government and people in it. If so few people dont trust the government right now that makes me  think that there is something about it they dont like; such as a certain person. If trust gets any lower we coul have a real problem on our hands. After all isnt trust in the government the reason we left Great Britain?

New Infinite Power Source

This new source of power would be incredible if it were to work as they say it does. We would have infinite amounts of new power and many debates about other power sources could be left behind. I think we should have been informed us earlier than the experiment about the potential of this experiment. It makes me wonder why we havent heard anything yet. Putting that much power into one small object and heating it to millions of degrees is incredible. I think it is definitely worth investing in if it will work correctly.

Aliens

The idea that there is life outside of earth is always being contemplated. It has been thought about in the past, present, and most definitely the future. I think there is life outside of Earth. Whether it be micro or bigger than anything here on Earth. I think there is definitely life ouside of our solar system. The universe is unfathomably huge in size and continues to grow. As technology evolves at the exponential rate it is we should be able to dicover life of some sort outside our galaxy. It could be years or months from now but I think we will find something eventually. The idea that there is life comparable to humanity out there somewhere is an interesting concept to me but Im not going to worry about it until the time comes.

Video Games

I wont deny that video games are fun. Who knew there would be so many careers in gaming.... its opening up new opportunities to help our economy. I do think that the numbers are outrageous of people playing video games. I remember when many people didnt have their own game consoles but now almost everybody has one. There are games in phones, ipods, and all sorts of electronics. I think one of the problems is keeping up with the game industry. It is in exponential growth. I can remember buying the the original play station and the PS2. Now they have come out with PS3. Who knows how long it will be before the PS4 comes out. The video game industry is headed skyward.
