I think because/reading

this term we have done a reading rotation.One of the things was to read an article called, should children's beauty pageants be banned. After we read the article we had to do a task called I think because here's mine:

I THINK… BECAUSE

Children's beauty pageants should be banned everywhere	they wear tight dresses, heavy makeup high heels and expensive jewelry.
Children's beauty pageants should be banned	it ruins girls self of steam and they won’t get a proper childhood.
Children beauty pageants should be banned	there getting praised for having makeup and tight dresses.
That children should only enter in beauty pageants if they want to so that parents can’t make them enter	then if children don’t like entering beauty pageants then you don’t have to, and if you like entering pageants then you can.
That there should be a certain age (like 10) that you have to be over	then you won’t have little kids like 5 wearing heels and make up.

Rosa Parks change maker speech

For inquiry in class we had to write a one minute speech about a change maker and why you think they are a change maker.For my change maker I did Rosa Parks.

Here is my speech:

Rosa Parks was an African American woman who lived in Alabama. Rosa and her husband were members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) because they wanted to get equal rights.

On the first of December 1955 Rosa was catching a bus home from work. When she and a few other black people were told to stand after a white man boarded the bus due to segregation rules, she refused. The bus driver threatened to call the police but she still refused. Soon after, the police showed up and arrested her. She was charged for breaking a segregation law but she refused to pay saying that the law was illegal. African American leaders got together and decided to boycott the city buses and continued this boycott for 381 days until finally the U.S Supreme Court ruled that the segregation laws in Alabama were unconstitutional.

I chose Rosa Parks because she made changes not only to help herself but to help others and she had the courage to take action when others were too afraid. She saw other opportunities to make changes in other ways as well.

Explanation Writing

Radiation

Ever considered what damage is being done to your body from the everyday use of electronics? Radiation pulsing through your body  as you hold your cell phone to your ear?

It is quite possible that your everyday appliances are more dangerous to your health than you know.

Radiation is energy that comes from a source (like your cellphone)  and travels through some material (like your body).There are many different types of radiation,but the ones we are exposed to are microwaves,radio waves and infrared waves.

Microwaves:

invisible to the eye,we use microwaves to heat our food quickly.Telecommunications satellites use microwaves to transmit your voice through phones.Microwave energy can also penetrate through haze,cloud and smoke,that means its easy to transmitting information.Some people use microwaves for radars,like Doppler weathermen use for the news.

Radio waves:

also invisible to our eyes,radio waves have the longest  wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum (up to a football field long).Radio waves bring music to radios,sound and pictures to televisions and also carry signal to cell phones.

Infrared waves:

Infrared waves lies between the visible and the invisible EM (electromagnetic) spectrum.TV controllers use infrared light to change the channel.We feel infrared every day from the sun’s heat.Infrared photography can detect temperature differences.Snakes can detect infrared radiation,thus lets them able to detect  warm-blooded prey in total darkness.

Electromagnetic radiation is very harmful to the human body as it increases the risk of cancer and other health problems. Microwaves are extremely bad for your health,as they take the nutrients out of the food leaving it without any health benefits or life energy.Microwave ovens heat food unevenly as the food only heats up when water is present and in most foods the water distribution is uneven.In Russia microwave ovens were banned as a result of studies that proved that microwave ovens are bad for your health. The studies found that carcinogenic substances formed from the microwaving of nearly all foods tested.

If you want less chance of getting cancer,other health problems or too much exposure to radiation than you could cut down on the amount of time you spend on your phone,iPod,computer,PlayStation etc.It’s also a good idea to not have your device's (phone/computer etc) next to you (near your body) while you're sleeping (it also helps turning the WiFi off at night).Having a good nutritious balanced diet will help and not using microwave ovens at all.

In short, micro radiation,radio radiation and infrared radiation are all radiation that we (humans) are exposed too, if we get exposed to too much radiation it enhances the risk of cancer or other health problems.Also remember to keep those devices away from your body at night and not to eat any foods (or drinks) from microwave ovens.
