Dance Through Life


Dance has been around for thousands of years. Almost as long as humans have been on Earth. Dance has always been a part of life. It is another form of art, rather than paintings and sculptures. You use your body to express feelings, to tell a story, to make a statement. Whether it was cultural or just for fun, it has always been involved in life, and it will never go away.
Dance has evolved from being specifically for cultural to being done at parties and celebrations. People make choreography To express feeling. The synchronization and thought of every single move within the dance allows the feeling to be expressed, and a story to be told. For example, the video is a choreography that is amazingly well done, along with a story being told. 

Creativity is endless and shown within each and every dance. Everyone has their own unique style that is beautiful no matter what. Some people use dancing to help get through their life. Creating a dance piece to let go of anger or sadness. 

Put on your favorite song right now and just start dancing. It can turn a bad day around, and put you into an awesome mood. Dancing should be a part of everyone's' life.

Simply Puppies

Simply Puppies

During the puppy period, dogs are like babies and anything that occurs will shape its future. This is the most 
important time of their life. They learn many life skills during this period of time.
During the puppy stage,
humans need to work together with the puppy

What Occurs During Puppy-hood 

During the childhood of a dog, puppies will learn how to behave around humans, as well as other puppies and dogs. 


The owner must train the puppy well. In order to do this, here are just a few good tips.


1- Be a good leader for the puppy.
2- Expose the puppy to other kind dogs, so he won't grow up to be aggressive later.
3-Train the dog with reward, rather than punishment. Punishment is used for when the puppy does something bad or unwanted.
4- Slowly work towards goals and achievements
5- Allow relaxation time as well of course. Their entire puppy life should not just be about training.

Those are only some tips. For more tips you can visit websites such as http://dogtime.com/article/puppies.html and http://www.cesarsway.com/dog-training/the-basics/starting-your-puppy-off-right

I believe puppies are insanely cute. However they are also a lot of work to handle. They require a lot of attention. I would suggest not getting a puppy unless you are sure you can provide it with enough time and love. If you can, then be my guest and get a puppy. I'm sure you will definitely love your puppy.

Technology Affecting Society

Technology Affecting Society


Technology has improved drastically throughout the years. Evolving from small things that barely affect daily life, to something that almost everyone uses daily. Technology allows things to be very efficient, however it could also negatively impact society.

Some Positive Effects Technology has

-Easier access to everything
     Technology causes it so virtually everything is available for people to use. Researching is simpler and finding things on the internet is also more efficient. 

-Entertainment is endless
     Finding something to entertain you is much easier with  technology. Technology is made almost just to entertain people.

-Communication applications
     Technology allows people from Japan to easily talk to friends or family from across the world in the United States, or anywhere else in the world. It causes the world to seem smaller and distance isn't a great factor anymore.

Some Negative Effects Technology has

- Less social interactions
     Due to technology, social interactions are not greatly required to live.

-Children becoming worse
     The next generations in general can become worse due to technology. Because of all the freedom children can have on the internet, it could cause an issue, and has in the past. It could become worse. 

-Anxiety from being separated from technology
     Being away from technology can cause separation anxiety for some people. 


There are many positive effects of technology, as well as negative effects. It will be interesting to view how technology advances even more. As well as viewing if the positive will outweigh the negative, or possibly the opposite will occur.

The Bias Within Everyone

Within Google

According to the article "Exposing Hidden Bias at Google" at www.nytimes.com, it appears that within Google there is a substantially dominant amount of males over females. Google is saying that they are attempting to remove the bias differences. However, "The company has no solid evidence that the workshops, or many of its other efforts to improve diversity are actually working." (As quoted from the article itself. 

However, this is also apparent in many other similar industries like Apple and Yahoo

The Quality Everyone Shares


You can do your best to try to stop being biased, but it's inside everyone. No matter how much you attempt to deny it. It's there. Discrimination and prejudice is a human trait that is embedded into our culture. 

Laszlo Bock gave a lecture stating exactly that. The article states that Mr. Bock's statement was a fact rather than an opinion.

The fact that Google is attempting to equal out the gender roles in their company is a good role model, and other companies should attempt to do this as well. When people decides one's fate they should view them equally and have the same standards for both men and women. Women can do the job just as well as men, possibly even better.

I agree that all humans have at least a slight amount of bias within them. It is undeniable. However, although a small amount of bias belief cannot be stopped, one does not have to display a great amount of bias. Also, your bias does not even have to be displayed to others. Though you may think it, do your best to not let it show. Perhaps it will be a step towards equality.
