http://rss.cnn.com/~r/rss/cnn_health/~3/Y6Rk0YsA-gE/index.html


      Hi everyone,I read this article about the recent earthquake in Nepal.It is really sad to see alot of people lose their lives unexpectedly.You can wonder how many years it takes to build a house and it is painful to see the building go down in a seconds.These means all we have been working for all this while can be lost in a seconds.The earthquake was really terrible,it will be difficult to give the accurate number of people that loss their lives during the earthquake.Some could sill be trapped down there in the buildings, unable to call for help.

Gender Bias

     Hi everyone,I read an article about how gender bias pervades textbook worldwide.I think this has been going over the years.For example,in academic writing when the world ''men'' is used it generally means both male, and female but some kids may read an article that contains the word ''men'' and they may think it only means male.Moreover,some religious books such as the Holy Bible also contains the word ''sons'' and when some children or adult read this holy book they will think it only means sons.In addition,some people in Africa believes that women should not be doing hard jobs such as auto mechanics,truck drivers or construction jobs rather they should be doing jobs like marketing and sales jobs,accountant or bankers jobs.However,rewriting most of the textbooks used in schools will help to minimize the rate of gender bias in the world.

Preserving our memory

http://rss.cnn.com/~r/rss/cnn_health/~3/bz6UxF9VgiM/index.html

         Hi everyone,I read an article about the ways one can prevent Alzheimer's disease which are socializing and doing creative activities such as painting,sewing,reading books.I think this new discovery would go a long way to reduce the rate of Alzheimer's disease in our society today.I believe all jobs really involve using your own brain.Although a lot of people are involve in one job or the other  which they find to be boring; we should make our job fun,and try to think outside the box.It is good to try this way of life in order to stave the brain of Alzheimer's disease.In summary,all the message in this article is simply keeping the brain active.

The Right to Die Bill

http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2015/04/03/397257185/california-faith-groups-divided-over-right-to-die-bill?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=science

       Hi friends,this article is about the right to die bill.In my won opinion I believe people should be given the right to make their own decision.If someone wants to die  because of pains or fear of losing independency,then that's fine.It is better to be in peace than to be in pain and tears for an unknown period of time.Although some people may try opposing the bill because they don't know what it means to experience pain or depend on people totally for everything.God gave each one of us the power of choice, so we can decide what we want, and we are responsible for every decision we make in life.Hence whether someone choose to die or not,it is a choice.
