Evening Discussion
I liked the article on cuddling. I have to agree with it. Having people in my life that I care about and vice versa is probably the most important thing to me. It is what makes my life so rich! When I feel bad having other people to go to is what always helps me through it. And yes cuddling makes you feel better to. There is something about it. The warmth, the love, the trust. It makes you feel warmer and happy inside.
"Debunking Captivity"
This was an extremely sad article to me. I believe that dolphins need to be out in the wild in their natural environment. It must be so depressing to them to have such a small area to swim in and live in. The reason for keeping these dolphins given most was for research. I do not see how this research could be very valid though. The best research would be to see the dolphin in their natural environment with other dolphins. To see how they interact with other dolphins, how to they get food, how do they protect themselves. These type of things cannot be seen holding them captive in such a small space. Also saying that it is educational for people to come and see is bogus. People go to see for a show.

Week 13
"the human species is living as if it had more then one planet to occupy..."
I do have to say that I agree with this quote and I think it is scary. But in my normal life this fact is not something that I personally see and this is the same for many others. I do not see where all the waste goes or all the CO2 that is being emitted into the air. This problem is not personally affecting me at the moment. And I am not saying at all that I do not care about this issue. What I am saying is that since it is not apparent to so many people it is hard for people to have any interest in changing. Many people are not educated about these issues so they see no reason to change. But this is a huge problem. It is a problem that keeps getting worse. Sometime in the future we will have big consequences for our actions.
This weeks discussion...
This week on Biodiversity I learned a lot. There were a lot of different things covered. I think it is good to be educated on things like GMO's. I personally would like to see companies go with the natural route but that is just not the way things are headed unfortunately. What I did find interesting was everyone's comments on the slingshot by coca cola. At first I thought it was a good thing for the company to be doing. But after hearing everyone's comments it seems like they are just trying to look good. I think that coke and other soft drinks are very toxic and addicting. And it takes so much water to produce soda. But although coca cola motives might not be the best I do hope that this product could help other countries in water crisis'.

Biochemistry week 12
1. I was interested in the article about scientists detecting blue fish tuna through radiation. It was good to see that at least something positive is coming out of Fukushima, although I would still prefer that the disaster did not take place. But I do believe that everything happens for a reason. Scientists are hoping to unlock secrets or you could call them mysteries of ocean life. Hopefully many good results can come out of this. But I also hope that the radiation is not extremely harmful to ocean life. The Blue Fish Tuna are just the beginning of the research. Scientists plan on studying many other species if they can detect radiation in them. One of the parts of the article that I found questionable was it saying that the radiation is not at a high enough level to harm fish or restaurant goers. I would prefer to avoid eating any fish with radiation in them.
2. I have been made very familiar with cells with my Kinesiology major and still find them confusing. Cells are so complex and scientists still have many questions about them. One of the main questions I read about from the websites is how did cells evolve out of non-living cells. There are many theories about this but we still do not have a definite answer. I will look forward to learning more about cells in Biochemistry.
