      This article is very interesting. It reveals things about today's youth culture being very technologically inclined. They say kids between the age of 8-18 spend up to 7 1/2 hours using technological devices. They also reveal that kids these days are talking to each other more using technology than actually talking face to face.

      This web page is very interesting because it demonstrates the adult perspective on teenagers. Not once did they interview a teen to know what their lifestyle was really about. According to this article, the main problem with teenagers is that they have problems of obesity, binge drinking and promiscuity.

The teenage cultural landscape - Teens - Canadian Living - 0 views

    • Catherine Delisle
       
      This web page is very interesting because it very clearly identifies the modern teenage culture while somewhat comparing it to what the past culture was. It explains that teens act mostly to do whatever their parents tell them not to do. They are driven to take risks to find that independence from their parents. Fashion is also changing very quickly. Loyalty is a crucial part for teenage friendships. Common interests are very important, but loyalty is the key element.

By the Color of Our Skin: The Illusion of Integration and the Reality of Race. - Review... - 0 views

  • I see America's rhetorical and "virtual" integration, as reflected on TV, as a sign of progress, even while I find the NAACP's threat to force it by lawsuit absurd.

      This website explains us how skin colour discrimination is viewed from a black person in our society. There is history to the reason that they can't see us (whites) as we are and vice virsa. Blacks really are the ones suffering the most which is something completely wrong and it is called inequality.

Intelligent design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.
  • version of the theological argument from design for the existence of God
  • leading proponents
  • ...21 more annotations...
  • The leading proponents of this version of the argument are all associated with the Discovery Institute, a politically conservative think tank based in the United States, and believe the designer to be the Christian deity.
  • irreducible complexity
  • The scientific community therefore considers intelligent design a pseudoscience
  • ID proponents have sought to overturn the methodological naturalism inherent in modern science, proposing that it be replaced by "theistic realism" or "theistic science" in which ID presents a broadly theistic understanding of nature.[12]
  • a single system which is composed of several well-matched interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning".[40]
  • mousetrap
  • Removal of any one piece destroys the function of the mousetrap
  • natural selection could not create irreducibly complex systems, because the selectable function is present only when all parts are assembled
  • bacterial flagellum of E. coli,
  • Coyne responds that in light of the evidence, "either life resulted not from intelligent design, but from evolution; or the intelligent designer is a cosmic prankster who designed everything to make it look as though it had evolved"
  • problem of poor design in nature
  • "What designed the designer?"
  • Invoking an unexplained being to explain the origin of other beings (ourselves) is little more than question-begging.
  • For a theory to qualify as scientific,[n 21][106][n 22] it is expected to be:
  • Consistent
  • Useful
  • Empirically testable
  • Based on multiple observations (often in the form of controlled, repeated experiments)
  • Typical objections to defining intelligent design as science are that it lacks consistency,[107] violates the principle of parsimony,[n 23] is not scientifically useful,[n 24] is not falsifiable,[n 25] is not empirically testable,[n 26] and is not correctable, dynamic, provisional or progressive.[n 27][n 28][n 29]
  • Intelligent design proponents argue that naturalistic explanations fail to explain certain phenomena and that supernatural explanations provide a very simple and intuitive explanation for the origins of life and the universe
  • There is a gap in scientific knowledge. The gap is filled with acts of God (or intelligent designer) and therefore proves the existence of God (or intelligent designer).[124]
