Borelli, Lizette 5 Reasons Why Cellphones Are Bad For Your Health. Web Consumer News.
July 12, 2013
Cell phones or mobile phones have become a very important part of our daily lives. It is very
difficult to imagine our live without a cell phone as most of our work is done using cell phones.
Everything has its pros and cons and mobile phones too has its positives. They can let us
communicate, entertain and study.
The very first positive point of mobile phones is communication. With mobile phones you can
communicate with anyone from anywhere at any time. Now days, the smartphones which are
coming are small in size and light in weight which makes it very easy to carry them. You dont
need to sit beside the receiver as your mobile phone is not attached with anything.
Mobile phones have become a source of unlimited entertainment. The things which we never
thought would be present in a mobile phone are now possible. Smartphones have come into
existence which not only help you in making calls but also help you to stay entertained by
allowing you to play games, listen to music and do lots of other stuff. Mobile phone even come
with special apps for kids to increase their brainstorming which is pretty good.
If you are using a smartphone, you can take advantage of it in your studies or your business. The
smartphones which come with Android, Apple iOS and Windows Phone operating system come
with educational apps which can be used while you are in college. If you are into business you
can install applications like Skype which will help you in communicating with your clients on
the go.

Juan Enriquez during his Ted Talks presentation focuses on what people post on social media and
how it can tremendously effects their lives. Eventually he connects the Greek character
Narcissus. Narcissus was a creature loved by everyone, but he didnt loved anyone one. He just

loved himself and thought nobody equaled him. He was punished by Greek gods to feel in love
with himself. One day he saw his reflection in the pool and fell in love with it.
Therefore, the author relates Narcissus with our social media because what people are mostly
posting about themselves. Taking pictures all day long and posting them on social media. It
becomes an addiction and more and more people start to notice their pictures. Then people start
to fell in love with them, just like Narcissus.
However, I think social media has a lot of pros and cons. We can talk to people living far abroad
in seconds and make sure people get immediate help in the disaster. But on the other hand people
can post stuff which can affect their jobs. If we use social media positively we can better
ourselves. If we use it negatively we can destroy our lives.

Gregoire, Carolyn. 5 Scary Health Effects of Sleep Deprivation during the Teen Years. The
Huffington Post. 24 July 2015. Web. 12 Sept. 2015.
I agree, sleep is very important for well being and functioning of our daily life. Less sleep can
effect both of these. In order for me to get enough sleep. I take a 2 hour nap after school and then
and then go to bed at 11 pm and wake up at 6 am. Doing this helps me in the school and I
perform better at the school.
Lachnit, Annie. The Lion King L.A Times. July 1994 Web. 9 Sept. 2014.
The argument made by Anne Lachnit in her article The Lion King is that lion king glory
sexism, racism and violence. To support her argument she writes, Disney male lions take center
stage while few take a seat at the action. In this quote. Anne Lachnit is suggesting that the male
lions appear on stage but female do all the work. In conclusion Anne Lachnit thinks that females
should also be on the center stage not just males. In my opinion, Anne Lachnit is wrong because
she doesnt have a good analysis of female lions and male lions. More specifically, I believe that
female lions are more featured than male lions. Although Anne Lachnit might object to male
lions being superior, I maintain that because they do most the struggle. Therefore, I conclude that
both male and female lions are showed superior.

Sept 2015.
The video Learning the Brain. It told about how brain controls our body, and whats inside it.
The brain weighs 3lbs, and it can power a light bulb. Cerebrum is in the brain that makes us
solve the problems and speak. Neurons are microscopic cells and they are in billions and it has
tiny pathways called dendrites, and electrical signals travel through them. The more we use
brain, the thicker these pathways become. The brain effectiveness can be affected by stress. It
can make it difficult to learn. Stress also results in chemical reaction in our brain releasing
cortisol. Water can be used to calm the brain. Without brain we wont be able to do anything, and
we can learn a lot by staying calm.
You Can Grow Your Intelligence. Mindset Works. 2002-2014. Web. 3 September 2015.
In the article You Can Grow Your Intelligence, researchers states that the brain is a big piece
of body and works exactly like a muscle. By training the muscle, it get Stronger. The brain
develops by practicing. By practicing, more connections between neurons and dendrites become
stronger. Babies are born with very little neurons connections. By practicing, to speak the neuron
and dendrites becomes stronger, and a baby starts to speak. Trying different ways to learn helps
make the brain smarter. Nobody is born dumb or smart. Practice makes the brain smarter.
Practicing is hard, and people fail. The key is to keep practicing to achieve the goal. Same is with
the animals they are born with nothing but as they grow and practice these neurons develop they
are able to do much complicated jobs. The more the training, the better the performance.
