Most of us have seen the popular 1960s-1980s television show “The Jetsons”, when you were a kid or if you have children of your own. Even if you weren’t alive back then maybe you have seen the show, or at least heard of it. If not let me tell you about “The Jetsons”. To sum it up “The Jetsons” were a fictional family that lived in a futuristic community set to be 2062, there were flying cars, drones, robot-maids, smart-houses, robot-dogs, and to beat it all the neighborhood was above ground. It was in the sky! How much more futuristic can you get? The neighborhood was perfect for them, it was all they could ever dream of. In addition, my perfect future neighborhood would consist of teleportation, smart-houses, and the most important factor …show more content…
Teleportation could be useful in many ways. For example, if you have elderly family members that cannot travel then teleportation would be extremely helpful. If you needed to get somewhere swiftly due to an emergency or forgetfulness, teleportation will have you there immediately. In addition, you could go to a good college far away from where you live that has a high over-night tuition, you wouldn’t have to pay the expensive tuition along with that you wouldn’t have to leave your home. In the morning all you have to do is get ready and get into the device and type in your destination and you will be there in a jiffy. How simple is that? Also, many kids have divorced parents and the parents live far apart so it is difficult for the child or the children to see and spend time with both parents. Teleportation would also help solve that problem, the child or children could just step in and one of the parents could type in the destination and the kids would be on there way to see the other parent. Teleportation would also help government officials communicate between countries and help clear any misunderstandings between the countries. Teleportation could solve a lot of the problems that we face …show more content…

In the article The Cosmic Perspective by Neil deGrasse Tyson he examines a range of topics from human life coming from Mars to how our perspective of the universe relates to religion. In the year 2000, a new space show opened at the Hayden Planetarium called Passport to the Universe, which compared the size of people Milky Way and beyond. While a show like this might make someone feel minuscule and insignificant, Tyson says that seeing the size of the universe actually makes him feel more alive not less and gives him a sense of grandeur. I agree with his idea that looking at us as a people in comparison can actually give you a sense of grandeur. However, when I compare myself to the vastness of space, it puts events on Earth in perspective while showing how influential we can be as a people even if we are small.
The movie, Juno, features a female teen who is faced with the challenge of an unplanned pregnancy by her classmate. The protagonist, in the movie, is a 16 year old girl named Juno. She is sharp, sarcastic, and humorous. She learns that she's pregnant from having sex for the first time with her best friend, Paulie Bleeker. Although she would rather not be pregnant, Juno is realistic about her situation. Paulie is initially shocked about the whole situation and decides to leave all the decisions about the baby to Juno. Unlike most TV shows and movies, this pregnant teen is not a deviant or an outcast, she is a character that we are encouraged to identify with. She is not like the pregnant teen we have seen on Jerry Springer or Montel, who are promiscuous and claiming that they got pregnant on purpose to the dismay of their parents. She first tells her best friend, Leah, about the pregnancy and then they decide to get an abortion. When she decides to 'nip it in the bud' and terminate the pregnancy, Juno goes to the abortion clinic where she finds one of her friends from school outside protesting. Even with her friend protesting, she still decides to go into the clinic. While she is sitting down filling out the paperwork, she stops to look at this place. The atmosphere of the building and the fact that it ‘smelled like a dentist' made her leave the abortion clinic and decide against getting an abortion.
Isn’t it overwhelming to consider the fact that approximately one in eight deaths in the world are due to cancer? To make this more comprehensible, the number of deaths caused by cancer is greater than caused by AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. Along with the idea that this disease does not have a definite cure is a mind-staggering concept to grasp. If not caught in time, cancer means guaranteed death. These types of thoughts were floating around my head when my mother had told me that my father had mouth cancer.
Isha Judd once said, “Say yes to changes, to surprises, and to unexpected events; you will start to appreciate the perfection within everything.” In Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven, this quote seems to sum up Libby and Jack’s life after everything they’ve gone through. Libby, an overweight girl, only wanted to get through the torments of highschool, while Jack, a popular boy with a secret disease called prosopagnosia, or face blindness, wanted to keep up his facade; they never thought that, through a slight altercation, they would end up having anything to do with each other, and especially nothing more. These intriguing characters, an unpredictable plot, tied together with a lasting theme all make this the best book you would ever read.
Cancer is a deadly disease that millions of people die from a year. Many loved ones are killed with little to no warning affecting families across our world. My family happened to be one that was affected by this atrocious disease. This event changed the way my family members and I viewed cancer.
Fifty years ago, a president boldly said “I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth” (Kennedy). Since then, we have split the atom, spliced the gene, and roamed the surface of the moon. There has been an incredible advancement in medical technology, so why can’t we find a cure for cancer? If the United States government made research less of a financial liability, establish subsidies for less wealthy cancer patients, and let independent researchers be at the helm of research, finding a cure for cancer may be within our grasp. I understand that finding a
Cancer is a leading cause of death in the United States. Near 8.2 million people die of cancer each year. Is cancer going to be a continuing leading cause of death around the world in the near future. According to one of the world’s leading experts on cancer says,”An effective cure for all types of cancer could be just five to 10 years away.” Although no cure is currently available for cancer treatments are sometimes available. In some cases treatments are not available or effective so the only thing left for them is oncoming death. Forevermore, there are ways to keep people comfortable or speed up the process of death so they don’t have to suffer or have their family watch as they are in painl. So the problem of cancer with a prognosis of
Teleportation is pretty much against the law if humans were to use it, as it would be an act of murder and creation. It wouldn’t be worth investing all of the money into teleportation, because there are a lot more cons than pros with the concept. The human race would be a lot safer without it. People would rather use up twenty-four hours of their life to fly overseas, rather than make a replica of themselves and risk their life just to get to the destination quicker.
One advantage of having a cell phone is that its very helpful when a person needs to contact a friend or a family member (9). For example, when someone is lost in a place they have never been in. But now a days people owning a cell phone can never get lost because now phones have a map that tells you where your location is. Now a phone can also be a credit/debit card swiper for someone's business.
