In Waiting for Superman, The music and audio features provide a humorous tone and also, at times, a more serious tone. Ethos is established throughout the Waiting for Superman documentary by having experienced teachers and presidents of well known educational companies give their thought on what needs to happen with the schooling system in the United States. The experts in this topic talked about how many of the public schools in the United States are considered to be dropout factories, which is where more than forty percent of the enrolled students drop out. This means more kids sitting on the street with no jobs or education. Furthermore, crime rates will go up, as well as the poverty level because the children can not get a well paying job. It is made known in Waiting for Superman, that the good schools are very expensive and only have limited spots available. To get into these schools, there are often raffles in which you enter for a chance to get in. This method is unfair because there is no guarantee you will get chosen, therefore you may end up getting a worse education than what you know you can receive.

Chapter five analyzes how the different studies, like retrospective and prospective studies are useful in clinical studies. To better understand a clinical study first, it is important to take in consideration that there are key words that we need to read before assuming that a piece of information is statistic significant. For instance, there is a difference between all the studies that scientists used to determinate the relationship of a disease status and an exposure. These studies are experimental studies, randomized, and doubled blind and nocebo effect. I found interesting the nocebo effect, because it is a new term that I learn. I agree with the author, when he is making the comparison of lung cancer between wealthy and poor people.

In Chinese society they try keeping the world a balance and equality to women and their kids. A world full of all men and you won’t be able to see any female, that’s what’s happening in china right now because of the one child-policy. Can you imagine what’s going to happen when Chinese culture is destroyed because of males taking over and reducing female gender, more crime, and also the most important thing would be war going one.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common cause of mortality worldwide, especially in developed countries. But they are also largely preventable, and many studies have tried to clarify the related risk factors, and what could be done to avoid them.

Its Grace, I wanted to let you know that I got caught with booze in my room I did lie about it because I was very scared this is my first offense and I am 3 1/2 months away from turning 21. I understand that this was wrong and I am beating myself up about this more than you can image. I called my parents and talked with them about it and they are very disappointed in me.

Cardiovascular diseases are potentially chronic illnesses that affect many individuals of all ages across the world. Heart disease is a condition that consist of the narrowing or blockage of blood vessels in the human body that leads to myocardial infarctions, chest pain, and even strokes. Concerns about the effects of heart conditions have inspired scientific research to help address the problem. The article, “Heart Therapy” by Gabor Rubanyi examines a different approach that can be used to prevent serious heart problems. The article is based on the premise that people can be at risk of developing blood clots or a thick buildup of plaque in the walls of the arteries that can block an individual’s arteries leading to a heart attack and in other severe cases, death. Rubanyi is a physician, and co-founder of Angionetics that intends to use gene therapy to grow new blood vessels in the heart. This paper will provide a summary and critique of the thoughts and ideas posited by Rubanyi.
