      When humans are encountered with something they don't know how to handle they try to rationalize it b making it seem right and sensible even when their mortality says it isn't.

      I think that maybe the level of trust has gone down in the community and nobody know who to trust anymore with these new issues.

What Makes Us Moral - A to Z Health Guide 2007 - TIME - 16 views

  • And why are we so inconsistent about following where they lead us?
    • nova clark
       
      i find it interesting that we don't follow where our intuition lead us but we follow our heart and brain. What if our intuition is what kept us surviving?

      does this mean that every human being is the same in their feelings? that one action done unto someone will have the same reaction to another even though they are both different? i think people would have different reactions to a situation and not feel the same mutual hurt.

Teaching Kids How to Break Up Nicely - NYTimes.com - 23 views

      many parents talk to teens about the dangers of a relationship not on how to break up with somebody. That is something teens learn from themselves and their peers.
  • 1Breaking up shouldn’t be a competition!”

      this is true..breaking up with somebody shouldn't be a happy occasion where u can immediately move on to another person. It should be a sad time that a relationship with a person who you really like didn't end up the way you wanted it too.

  • troubling trend of young people breaking up with one another via social media
    • nova clark
       
      I think that this is due to the invention of technology. Teens don't have to deal with seeing the hurt and crumbled expression of another person. Usually if through via email, the other person wont respond. This is a easy way out of a relationship.

Obama remembers September 11 with message of tolerance - CNN - 40 views

      i agree with this because it isn't fair to punish a whole country just for something a religion did. It's like punishing a class just because one student didn't write in the correct pen color.

      I think that everyone especially the survivors of 9/11 should live everyday to its fullest and try to make that the lives lost weren't for nothing and that America can rise up and become stronger than ever.

The Power of Birth Order - TIME - 29 views

    • nova clark
       
      why cant parents just treat each child equally? It's not the last or middle child's fault when they were born and in what order
  • Mom and Dad are likely to invest even more in that child, placing their bets on an offspring who—in survival terms at least—
  • A disproportionate number of them were choosing to be arrested."

      I find it interesting that first borns get all of the smarts. I am a middle child and am considered better at school than my sister was at my age. My brother doesnt really like homework and is a active boy but is still smart.
  • the firstborn is going to get into Harvard and the second-born isn't."
    • nova clark
       
      I can't believe that the possibility of getting into a amazing school can be depended on something you don't even have control over, if you were born first or not.

      wouldn't this depend on the parents? on how much they want to educate their child?

Mark Moffett Ants | The 'Jane Goodall of ants' - Los Angeles Times - 45 views

  • intricate parts of the insects' social behavior
    • nova clark
       
      I find it interesting how ants are interesting yet apparently they have a very intricate social life.
  • Colonies of leafcutter ants put their trash in their innermost chambers that can be huge and take years to construct

      I find it cool that ants have a "garbage bin" for their trash.
  • his level of effort tells us something about a topic we're just beginning to recognize as important, in terms of how we invest in dealing with waste.
  • much as human armies use spies.
    • nova clark
       
      If find it intruiguing to compare ants armies to human beings. We are so tall and ants are so small yet they are also very productive.
  • wander off and die on their own rather than infect anyone else
    • nova clark
       
      i never knew that ants are very unselfish creatures that care a lot about their colony and doesn't want to affect other ants. That they are wiling to leave their loved ones behind for the sake of not infecting the other ants. It shows how close ants are together.
