After a Concussion when can teens return to the football field? word count:210

This article was long and it had some valid points about concussions. There were around 1,500 kids that suffered from concussions in Missouri in 2012, however most of the kids did return to the sport after two weeks. The article also talks about how dangerous it is to play with a concussion. It could do more damage to the brain because the first concussion softened the brain up and the second one (if you still have the first one), can seriously injury your brain. The doctors are trying to not send a kid back out to the field too early. If something major happens like he gets another concussion and now the kid can no longer walk then the doctor could get into trouble for it along with losing his job and having to deal with the fact he sent a kid out too early and now he cannot walk that is going to haunt him. For recent activities of concussions some parents are forbidding their kids to play football. To prevent players from returning too early some schools have computerized test that you take at the beginning of the season and if they believe you have a concussion you go and take the test again and they compare scores.

Rise of the Machines Word count:227

In the future we could see something like the terminator. The reason being is computers are getting smarter to help us achieve our goal as being lazy. We are making computers smarter to help us but if they get smarter then us then they can out smart us and possibly kill us. Computer geniuses are trying to make a super computer or AI to make our life easier but what happens if they make it too smart. It could get rid of humans so we couldn't shut it off. Google is one of the companies trying to make an AI but they are trying to ensure that the AI will not try to take over the human race by making a team of computer science employees. They are used to regulate the intelligence of the AI to make sure it will obey humans all the time. There is one problem the team has to decide what is and is not moral for the computer to have. The question will remain when will robots be able to lie. This has already happened in 2009 Swiss researchers placed hundreds of robots in arenas and programmed to find a food source and they would communicate with others by using blue lights but when they found a food source they would quit communicating with other robots to hoard food for themselves. 

Poetry word count:202

For me poems are just too confusing. I have  only read old poems when they use “where art thou” . However, when Mr. Smith showed us the old poem mentioning something about the rapture and nature I thought poems were not so bad. The poems I loathe the most is Shakespeare. His poems are confusing and in my opinion they are stupid. I have learned about poetry from reading a poem and as a class breaking it down to better understand the context. It is not easy to learn about poetry it can be confusing and difficult to process or understand. The reason for this is grammar rules are different than normal writing a paper rules. I like certain childish poems by doctor Seuss. I like them for the main reason they are easy to understand it rhymes and you know what they are talking about all the time. Some people want a more confusing harder to understand poem and I cannot give any recommendations. I am a person who does not read poems often. I prefer poems of war and battle not of love and romance. One thing I like about poetry is how they are formatted on the paper into stanzas.

People are Causing a Mass Extinction on Earth word count:200

What do you think of mass extinction do you think of the dodo bird or the dinosaurs like a trex. There have been five devastating disasters nearly killing off all life on earth. Some extreme wildness lovers are telling us that the next extinction his coming and we are the cause of it. We have a lot of animals becoming endangered because we are growing in population and they are not. We have destroyed their habitats for a place to live, but what happened to top of the food chain. There is a reason we are driving cars and cats aren't because we are bigger and stronger and in the beginning we were not at the top of the food chain we have fought to get here. We can help though by doing something similar to what the did in New Zealand they killed rats so the Kakapo parrots survive. We could bring in endangered animals and force breeding to repopulate and then enter then into the wild. We could also just sit back and enjoy our life and say that's the next generations problem. We could possibly bring back animals that have been extinct thanks to genetics and biology.

Stand Up for Your Health word count: 205

This health thing is really a matter of the type of person you are. If you are a hard worker then you do not have to really worry about being on your feet, because you're working and you're on your feet most of the time. If you're lazy then you're going to be fat and have weak muscles. It mostly  depends on how you were raised. If you were raised to work hard than you have nothing to worry about. If you were raised with getting everything you want then you there is a good chance you won’t be ready for the real world. If the government thinks putting pedals on desk is going to help then you are wrong. The people who do not exercise enough are not going to use them anyways.  It really matters on the type of person you are and how respectful. If you want to be healthy then you have to work at it its not easy but its better in the long run. It is a life choice it is up to the person whether or not to be healthy. The government needs to stop forcing to people to get healthy the strongest of the people will survive.
