Should children have homework? | Debate.org - 0 views

  • I looked through the NO side. While I was doing so, I saw many errors. Most of the NO side complain that they have sports to do first, did it not occur to you that studies come first? If you fail school, the coach will (most likely) not let you play in that tournament/ game/ meet. As for the grammar errors on the NO side, I believe that many could use some Language Arts homework.

      People don'y do homework cause their lazy and say they have a lot of homework has it ever come to mind that studies com first than sports.
  • Students should have homework because it prepares them for high school and college. If we don't prepare them in middle school and elementary school they will be more overloaded in high school and college because they didn't expect it. Long Live Homework! Plus, if we don't have homework, kids will go home and forget everything they learned.

      If people do homework you prepare them for high school and collage plus they always have to review what they did that day

Five Stages Of Sleep ... Sleep Cycles Explained - 2 views

  • Stage 1This is the lightest stage of sleep, the transition phase, where you feel yourself drifting off. If you were to forget about the alarm clock and allow yourself to wake up naturally, Stage 1 sleep would be the last stage before you fully wake up. You don't spend too much time in Stage 1 sleep, typically five to 10 minutes, just enough to allow your body to slow down and your muscles to relax.
    • lobo5879
       
      The stage 1 of sleep is when you are starting to relax your muscles and start to sleep. This stages is not very long it is about 5 to ten minutes. This stage is when you wake up more quickly for example if someone touches you you will easily wake up.
  • Stage 2The second stage of sleep is still considered light sleep. Your brain activity starts to slow down, as well as your heart rate and breathing. Your body temperature falls a little and you're beginning to reach a state of total relaxation in preparation for the deeper sleep to come.
  • Stage 3Stage 3 sleep is the start of deep sleep, also known as slow wave sleep. During stage 3, your brain waves are slow "delta waves," although there may still be short bursts of faster of brain activity (also known as beta-waves). If you were to get awakened suddenly during this stage, you would be groggy and confused, and find it difficult to focus at first.
    • lobo5879
       
      this stage is when your body is finishing to relax and example is: if someone trys to wake you up you would be confused and do not know what is happening because you were already finishing to completely relax

  • Stage 4Of the five stages of sleep, this is the one when you experience your deepest sleep of the night. Your brain only shows delta-wave (slow wave) activity, and it's difficult to wake someone up when they're in Stage 4 of sleep.
    • lobo5879
       
      this stage i when you are more hardly to be awaken. In this stage is when you start to dream and this stage is when the kids start having nightmares
  • It's during Stage 4 sleep that children are most likely to suffer from bedwetting or sleep terrors. Stages 3 and 4 can last anywhere from 5 - 15 minutes each, but the first deep sleep of the night is more likely to be an hour or so. This is the time when the body does most of it's repair work and regeneration.
  • Stage 5 This is the stage of sleep when you dream. It is also referred to as "active sleep" or REM sleep, which stands for the rapid eye movements that characterize Stage 5. During REM sleep, your blood flow, breathing, and brain activity increases. An EEG would show that your brain is about as active as it is when you're awake.Another aspect of Stage 5 sleep is that the muscles in your arms and legs will go through periods of paralysis. Scientists speculate that this may be nature's way of protecting us from acting out our dreams.The first period of REM sleep of the night usually begins about 90 minutes after you start drifting off, and lasts for about 10 minutes. As the night passes, the periods of REM sleep become longer, with the final episode lasting an hour or so.Babies may spend as much as half of the time they're asleep in the REM phase. For a healthy adult, Stage 5 occurs for about 20 to 25% of the time you are sleeping, and decreases with age.Scientists and researchers are continually learning more about the mechanics and physiological effects of sleep, and what happens during the five stages of sleep.

Stanford research: The meaningful life is a road worth traveling - 2 views

  • One can find meaning in life and be unhappy at the same time. Aaker points out that this type of life has received less attention in the media, which has recently focused on how to cultivate the happy life.  Examples of highly meaningful, but not necessarily happy, lives may include nursing, social work or even activism. The unhappy but meaningful life involves difficult undertakings and can be characterized by stress, struggle and challenges. However, while sometimes unhappy in the moment, these people – connected to a larger sense of purpose and value – make positive contributions to society. Happiness without meaning is characterized by a relatively shallow and often self-oriented life, in which things go well, needs and desires are easily satisfied, and difficult or taxing entanglements are avoided, the report noted. And so, the meaningful life guides actions from the past through the present to the future, giving one a sense of direction. It offers ways to value good and bad alike, and gives us justifications for our aspirations. From achieving our goals to regarding ourselves in a positive light, a life of meaningfulness is considerably different than mere happiness. "People have strong inner desires that shape their lives with purpose and focus – qualities that ultimately make for a uniquely human experience," said Aaker.

      Happiness comes from having stuff only if you think about happiness like that. Happiness actually comes from not being stressed and trying to be with your family.
    • Nany Rocha
       
      People think that happiness comes from having phones,toys,etc.but thats the problem,Thanks to other peoples blogs and myths people think that the only way to be happy is from having stuff,and from having the "Happiness stuff" comes being "Buried alive".
    • Nany Rocha
       
      Being happy is not about having stuff,its about being with your family,Happiness is the best thing that can happen to anybody.Happiness is kind of the meaning of life,it gives us a meaning of what to do and when to do it.Happiness gives us a path to life,happiness is when you are with your family,happiness helps us understand that we can do better than what we already do.Happiness as you know doesn't come from having stuff,

      Happiness is also known as a goal of life.It represents us as who we are. Happiness shows on our face.It makes other people see our pride sometimes other people feel our pride so much that they show their pride,and the happiness influence goes and goes until at some point it stops.nI clearly think that if it wasn't for happiness,pride and making our goals (Not soccer goals) we would still be cavemen and cavewomen because without them we would be terrible we would feel stupid we would feel so dum that not even Benjamin Franklin would've created the light because he probably would've felt stupid. So thats why being happy is important because without happiness we wouldn't have accomplished anything.And look at us now we already went to the moon we made a tv we made a telephone and now we have iphones.it all happened thanks to our 1 and greatest feeling:Happiness.

      Sometimes people feel sad and depressed so they go to the mall and go buy clothes and other items,then they claim to be relaxed and happy but Jennifer Aaker proved that its not true.In fact she proved that there are lots of ways to be happy but only 1 way is the most true hearted : Social work and also being with your family.But you cant be happy by just standing besides your family,you would have to be social with them.
  • A Stanford research project explored the key differences between lives of happiness and meaningfulness. While the two are similar, dramatic differences exist – and one should not underestimate the power of meaningfulness. "The quest for meaning is a key part of what makes us human," the researchers concluded.

"The quest for meaning is a key part of what makes us human," the researchers concluded. BY CLIFTON B. PARKER Social psychologist Jennifer Aaker studies happiness and meaningfulness in life. While lives of meaningfulness and happiness overlap, they are distinctly different, according to Stanford research. But not everybody understands that happiness comes from within not from having or buying stuff. 50% of the world population (Not counting the babies) thinks that the more stuff they got or get the happier they'll be!But of course that we the "smart" population think otherwise. Social psychologist Jennifer Aaker has studied her whole life everything about happiness and she taught us that happiness comes from within happiness comes from smiling everyday from being social with friends or family.Happiness doesn't come from having stuff not at all!! Happiness is the greatest gift of all,happiness isnt just a feeling,happiness is a friendly shadow that follows you everywhere only if you let it.

      The Stanford research project of Jennifer Aaker explains how to get happiness and why it is important.But now I realize that not everybody understands that happiness comes from within not from having or buying stuff. 50% of the world population (Not counting the babies) thinks that the more stuff they got or get the happier they'll be!But of course that we the "smart" population think otherwise. Social psychologist Jennifer Aaker has studied her whole life everything about happiness and she taught us that happiness comes from within happiness comes from smiling everyday from being social with friends or family.Happiness doesn't come from having stuff not at all!! Happiness is the greatest gift of all,happiness isn't just a feeling,happiness is a friendly shadow that follows you everywhere only if you let it.When I say that happiness is a shadow following you only if you let it its because this days happiness is a complete shadow.Not everybody is happy and someday we might never feel happiness ever again,But while I get off topic you should think : "Wow,I should listen to her.I should be grateful for what I already have, instead of getting more stuff." Because the more you think about it the more you understand that happiness is our path to life.that happiness is our friend happiness is our heart that keeps us alive.Thats why we smile thats why we cry thats why we love laugh and live. Without happiness we would be grumpier than the grumpiest cat.We should think more about being grateful than thinking of what to buy to be happy.

Your Eyes - 0 views

  • Your eyes are at work from the moment you wake up to the moment you close them to go to sleep. They take in tons of information about the world around you — shapes, colors, movements, and more. Then they send the information to your brain for processing so the brain knows what's going on outside of your body.

Why do people cry? - WebMD Answers - 0 views

  • “Crying is a natural emotional response to certain feelings, usually sadness and hurt. But then people [also] cry under other circumstances and occasions," says Stephen Sideroff, PhD, a staff psychologist at Santa Monica--University of California Los Angeles & Orthopaedic Hospital."People cry in response to something of beauty. There, I use the word 'melting.' They are letting go of their guard, their defenses, tapping into a place deep inside themselves."

      Crying is something created by emotions and feelings such as sadness and pain. But people also cry because they want. People cry because you reach the highest limit of your eyes like when you hit it hurt so much and the hurt goes to all of your body so you destroy your defense/guard and  let the tears pass your eye from deep inside you.
  • Crying may also have a biochemical purpose. It's believed to release stress hormones or toxins from the body, says Lauren Bylsma, a PhD student at the University of South Florida in Tampa, whose research has focused on crying.

      If you cry it can also have some effects that it lets out somethings like hormons toxins and stress from some part of you. And when you releze all those things you feel kind of dizzy.

How are rainbows made? - 0 views

  • The birth of each rainbow begins with millions of tiny rain droplets.  The rain droplets serve as a type of reflector of light.  White light enters one individual rain droplet and exits as one specific color of the spectrum.  Without millions of rain droplets, a rainbow would not occur.  If you only had a few rain droplets you would only see a few colors.  This is typically why rainbow appear after a rain storm
  • Each rain droplet has a function in the formation of the rainbow. Sunlight enters the rain droplet at a specific angle and the rain droplet separates the white light into many different colors.  This angle is a fixed measurement between your eye
  • and the sun.  What color is refracted depends upon the critical angle,                   which is the angle the sunlight strikes the back of the rain droplet.  Red light bends the least, exiting the rain droplet at a 42 degree angle, while Violet light bends the most, exiting the rain droplet at a 40 degree angle.  All of the other colors of the rainbow exit the rain droplets at some angle between 40 and 42 degrees, thus making up the colors of the rainbow ROYGBIV, this order never changes.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Each rain droplet reflects all colors at a given point and time, but only one color comes back to your eye, requiring million of rain droplets to create a rainbow.  As the rain droplets fall through the sky, the colors of the spectrum being reflected and refracted are constantly changing.
  • The perfect time and place to look for a rainbow you need bright sunlight to your back and rain clouds off in the distance in the direction of your shadow. If it is later than 4:30 in the afternoon or earlier than 8:30 in the morning at these condition there is a very good chance you will be able to see a rainbow in the sky.  Other places you may see rainbows formed are fountains, in the ocean as the waves crash against the rock which create a mist in the air, waterfalls, sprinklers and mist from a garden hose. Always remember to have the sun at your back to see a rainbow, happy rainbow hunting!!!!!!
  • Rainbows form a complete circle, however only half is visible.  The horizon only  Picture from the web site of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Arizona State University                                                             allows us to see half of the rainbow circle, so we see just an arc.  What causes the rainbow to have a circular formation is the way that rain droplets fall.  The rain droplets do not fall is flat sheet, however they tend to fall at various distances and speeds.  On some occasions you can see a full circle around a garden hose.
    • garza6544
       
      each rainbow is made by millions of rain droplets. the rain droplets make a reflect of light and it makes different colors. While light comes in a specific Droplet then it makes a specific color. Without milions and milions of rain droplets the rainbow cant be formed. If you only have a few rain droplets then you will only see a few colors. This is the reason why they happen after a rain storm.
  • function
    • garza6544
       
      Each rain droplet that rains  is always useful to make a rainbow because every rainbow needs to do something different to make a rainbow. The rain droplets separates the light into different colors.

Dreams. Sleep for Kids - Teaching Kids the Importance of Sleep - 0 views

  • Everybody dreams every night. But you don't always remember your dreams. People dream during the stage of sleep called Rapid Eye Movement or R.E.M. You spend about two and a half hours dreaming. Most of your dreaming sleep happens between 4:00 and 7:00 in the morning.  Scientists are not sure why we dream or what we dream. They do know that R.E.M. sleep is important for learning and memory. TV shows, video and computer games, real people, and actual events can show up in your dreams. Your dreams may be related to how you feel, your worries, your hopes, or things you are excited about.

Nightmares - 1 views

  • While you sleep, your brain doesn't just turn off. It goes through several sleep stages, including REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. Why do they call it that? Because during this stage of sleep, your eyes move back and forth under your closed eyelids. During REM sleep, you have dreams and sometimes those dreams can be scary or upsetting. About every 90 minutes your brain switches between non-REM sleep and REM sleep. The amount of time spent in REM sleep increases with each sleep cycle through the night. The longest periods of REM sleep occur towards morning. If you wake during this REM stage, it is easier for you to remember what you were dreaming about. That's why your most vivid dreams — and nightmares — occur in the early morning hours.

Stereotypes Examples - Examples Of Stereotypes - 0 views

  • Whenever we don't have a good understanding of a subject, say, of people or countries, then we tend to make assumptions about them. Stereotype is nothing but those assumptions that have become common knowledge. Whenever you make judgments about people without knowing them, you are stereotyping them. Stereotyping makes people generalize things. More often, they are all false assumptions. Though there are both positive and negative stereotypes, a majority of them are offensive. People generally stereotype out of bias against a particular group of people or religion. Stereotyping becomes a way of conveying their dislike. Of course, stereotyping stems from a commonly held view of a particular group or race. This view may arise from an incident or false assumption, and then maybe used to color the entire community with the same brush. There are various types of stereotypes. However, the most common ones are racial stereotypes and gender stereotypes. Race, nationality, gender and sexual orientation are the main factors of stereotyping. Stereotyping must be avoided at all costs, as it leads to treating groups as a single entity. Given below are examples of stereotypes that people commonly use.
  • Examples Of Stereotypes Negative Stereotypes All blond women are dumb. All red heads are sluts. Christians are homophobic. They are blinded by God and will recruit you if you go near them. All politicians are philanders and think only of personal gain and benefit. If I wear Goth clothing I'm a part of a rock band, depressed, or do drugs. Girls are only concerned about physical appearance. Guys are messy and unclean. Men who spend too much time on the computer or read are geeks. Men who are not into sports are termed as gay. All librarians are women who are old, wear glasses, tie a high bun, and have a perpetual frown on their face. Girls are not good at sports. All teenagers are rebels. All children don't enjoy healthy food. Only anorexic women can become models. Women who smoke and drink do not have morals. Men who like pink are effeminate.
  • Positive Stereotypes All Blacks are great basketball players. All Asians are geniuses. All Indians are deeply spiritual. All Latinos dance well. All Whites are successful. Asians have high IQs. They are smarter than most in Math and Science. These people are more likely to succeed in school. African Americans can dance. All Canadians are exceptionally polite. French are romantic. All Asians know kung fu. All African American men are well endowed. Italians are good lovers

  • types Women Women always smell good. Women take forever to do anything. Women are more brilliant than men. Women are always moody. Women try to work out problems while men take immediate action. All women like the color pink. All women like dolls. Women become cheerleaders. Women take 2 hours to shower. Women hog the bathroom. Women love mirrors. Women like make-up. Women are fussy about their hair. Women work in department stores. Women like fashion magazines. Women are discrete about intimacy. Women do not drive well. Women never take chances. Women always talk too much on the phone. Women actually use only 5% of what's in their purse. Everything else is junk. Only women can be nurses.
  • Men Only men can be doctors. Men are stronger and more aggressive. Men are better at sports. Men hate reading. Men always have an "I don't care" attitude. Men don't get grossed out by scrapes and bruises. Men are tough. Men are thickheaded. Men like cars. Men become jocks in high school. Men take 2 seconds to shower. Men like hats. Men could care less if they become bald. Men wear whatever is clean. Men usually work in messy places. Men like car or porn magazines. Men brag about intimacy. Men take too many chances. Men always lose all arguments against girls. Every race, culture, country, religion and a community has a stereotype. It is a way of oversimplifying groups of people. It is one of the easiest ways of establishing identity. By conforming to a fixed or conventional image, the identity can be recognized and understood. And, herein lies the problem. It's hard to be objective if one doesn't reject stereotypes. So, it is better not to use any stereotype and pass judgments only when you are familiar with others.
  • Every race, culture, country, religion and a community has a stereotype.

How do broken bones heal? - HowStuffWorks - 0 views

  • If you experience engine trouble, you take your car to a mechanic. If your pipes leak, you call a plumber. And if you fracture a leg, the usual course of action is to visit a doctor. But unlike other things that may break in life, bones begin healing on their own before you even set foot in a waiting room.The human body possesses amazing healing powers that enable it to bounce back from a vast array of illnesses and injuries. Sometimes broken bones can heal so thoroughly within a few months that even an x-ray can't determine the original fracture line.Doctors often play a vital, sometimes lifesaving, role in a bone's healing process. But, these experts basically help the body heal itself. Doctors provide optimal conditions for bone repair and healing to take place. The rest is up to your cells.But how does this amazing biological process work? How can a fractured limb grow back to its former strength? To understand, you first have to take a closer look at just what bones are made of and how alive they really are.

FYI: Why Does Some Food Taste Bad To Some People And Good To Others? | Popular Science - 1 views

  • ARE YOU A SUPERTASTER? To find out, put blue food coloring on your tongue. Blue dye doesn't stick to taste papillae, so if your tongue doesn't get very blue, you're probably a supertaster. The bluer it gets, the greater the chance you are a subtaster. More hot sauce!

      If you want to find out if you're a super taster, then simply put food coloring on you tongue. Let's say you put blue food coloring on you're tongue. Blue coloring does not stick to your papillae so if your tongue doesn't get very blue, then you're a super taster but if your tongue gets very blue the you're a sub taster.
  • People who have a lot of papillae—the bumps on our tongue, most of which house our taste buds—often find flavors overwhelming. They're "supertasters," and as such they add cream to their coffee and order food mild instead of spicy. Subtasters, on the other hand, have low papillae density and prefer their chicken wings "atomic."

      People who have a lot of papillae normally finds flavors to be a little bit to much, that shows that you're a super taster. But when you're a sub taster you have a very low amount of papillae.  
  • Most toxic plants taste bitter, and nomadic groups that came into contact with a variety of plants would have, over time, developed a variety of receptors. People from malaria-infested parts of the world tend to carry a gene that makes them less sensitive to some bitter compounds, specifically those that contain cyanide.

What Are Taste Buds? - 0 views

  • When you have a cold or allergies, and your nose is stuffy, you might notice that your food doesn't seem to have much flavor. That's because the upper part of your nose isn't clear to receive the chemicals that trigger the olfactory receptors (that inform the brain and create the sensation of flavor).
