PETA Asia-Pacific | The Issues | Animals Are Not Ours For Entertainment - 0 views

shared by Esteban Cantu on 03 Dec 14 - No Cached
  • Zoos claim to educate people and preserve species, but they usually fall short on both counts. Animals' normal behavior is seldom discussed, much less observed, because their natural needs are rarely met. Even the largest of zoo enclosures cannot compare to the vastness of an animal's natural habitat, and the signs on these enclosures provide little more information than an animal's species, diet, and natural range. The only thing zoos teach people is that it is acceptable to control every aspect of an animal's life.

What Causes Teens Not to Do Homework? | Everyday Life - Global Post - 0 views

everydaylife.globalpost.com/s-teens-not-homework-7807.html homework causes teens to not be motivated
shared by Diego Hinojosa on 03 Dec 14 - No Cached
  • Teens who do their homework without complaining might do it because they want to get good grades, and some teens don’t want their parents to get mad at them for not doing their homework. As for those teens who fail to do their homework, child behavioral therapist James Lehman believes it’s not that kids aren’t motivated, it’s just that they're motivated to do the things they want to do. What they want to do might not involve doing homework.

      Some teens do their homework because they want to have good grades on academics. Or in other cases they do it because they don't want their parents to get mad.But on almost all of the cases they don't do homework.Because they don't have things social things to do.

Why aren't lakes salty like the ocean? - 0 views

  • The ocean is salty for several reasons, one of which is the groundwater from rain which trickles down into the ocean and picks up salt from the earth along its way! But this same water trickles down into lakes… so why aren't lakes salty?
  • The reason lake water usually isn't salty (or at least it's less salty than ocean water) is because the salty groundwater not only runs into the lakes, but also back out of it! Unlike the huge, vast ocean which already covers most of the Earth and therefore can't open up to any larger body of water, most lakes have outlets from which water leaves. This means that the salty groundwater has a chance to filter out and escape! (In the ocean, it has nowhere e

      Homework can be heavy work for kids.And sometimes the homework that you are assigned aren't the needs of some students.Homework not just stresses kids it also stresses family. Research shows 90% of americans who do have homework can't have practice for social abilities.For example you can't have time for friends.

  • 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.

  • 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!

      the water of the world ist goes in a contninouse cycle first evaporated and then it rain.
  • Water falls all over the planet, but when it passes through soil and rocks it slowly dissolves bits of minerals, including sodium chloride (salt). This means rivers and lakes have tiny fragments of salt in them, which — little by little — are carried into the sea.

      the rain falls to the grownd between rocks and pants. that rain becomes into river and the earth becomes salty. Like there are vocanos under water the volcanos have minerals and the sea keeps them.
  • Rivers and lakes are replenished with fresh rainwater, but oceans are a sort of dumping ground where water with accumulated salt keeps adding to the salinity. There are also vents and volcanoes under the ocean that increase the amount of minerals, especially salt.

  • The idea that sugar affects behaviour is widely believed and there are various hypotheses that attempt to explain how, including some children might have an allergic response to refined sugar, or have abnormal patterns of blood glucose levels.

      Sugar can be called beer for some adults because sugar gives the same effect to children that eat or drink a lot of sugar as adults can get the effect from drinking a lot of beer.so in conclusion you could get "drunk" for eating or drinking  lot of sugar because when you eat or drink a lot of sugar you get a tummy ache which then a sugar-rush follows causing you to get "drunk"

Yale Scientific Magazine - Does Sugar Really Make Children Hyper? - 0 views

  • Years of oral tradition say yes, but modern science disagrees.

      Parents around the world often say that sugar really causes kids to get hyper but real studies from scientists actually proves that it doesn't. 
  • Science first became interested in the link between sugar and hyperactivity when the Feingold Diet became popular in 1973. Devised by allergist Dr. Benjamin Feingold, it advocated the removal of food additives, such as dyes and artificial flavors, from children’s diets because they might lead to hyperactivity. Although this special diet did not originally mention sugar, sugar became grouped under the category of food additives due to the common belief that it affected behavior.

      Scientists became interested in sugar and how it affects kids just when the diet turned popular in 1973. Allergist Dr Benjamin Feingold has been deciding to do the "removal" of food with color dye and artificial flavors from kids diets because they might get to the point of hyperactivity.
  • Through various experiments over the years, scientists have discovered that no substantial evidence exists to support the claim that sugar causes hyperactivity.

      Even though scientists say that sugar does not cause hyperactivity, they still have no evidence for that.

  • Nonetheless, other experiments show that sugar may at least influence behavior.
    • Isabel Herrera
      Isabel Herrera on 03 Dec 14
       
      But others studies show that sugar might not affect hyper kids, but it may affect behavior 
  • Dr. Wesnes conducted a study in which he found that having a large amount of sugar for breakfast led to a severe deterioration of attention span when compared to having no breakfast or eating whole grain cereal. Dr. Tamborlane, also from Yale, reported that children given sugar had higher levels of adrenaline. A possible explanation for this effect is that since sugar is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, blood sugar rises quickly, which can lead to higher adrenaline levels and thus symptoms similar to those associated with hyperactivity. Furthermore, children with ADHD also tend to have higher levels of insulin.

      Dr Wesnes found that if a kid has a huge pile of sugar for breakfast it can cause them to not pay attention at anything. But if you have a whole grain breakfast you can be more concentrate more. Also Dr Tamborlane says that kids that eat alot of sugar have "higher levels of adrenaline. Another way to say this is that if you eat a lot of sugar all the sugar is absorbed to the "bloodstream" and blood sugar goes up quickly, that"s why kids can have higher levels of "adrenaline."

  • Eye color is the result of variations in the amount of melanin, a pigment found in the front part of the iris of the eye.  The lack of this pigment results in blue eyes, some pigment gives green and lots of pigment gives brown eyes.   So light brown eyes just have a bit less melanin than darker brown eyes.  All of the different shades of eye color happen the same way.  Blue-green eyes have an amount of melanin between green and blue, hazel eyes have an amount of pigment between green and brown, etc.
