Can Hazing Make a Team Stronger?

http://news.discovery.com/human/psychology/can-hazing-make-a-team-stronger-131113.htm

This article is talking about the controversial topic about hazing. This article is pro on hazing because it is to the believed that if it takes complete hardship to join a group it becomes more important. And an other reason is that when every member has something traumatic happening to them as the join they form a bond. But the reason why its so controversial is because some of the hazing ideas are far to extreme and end up injuring or hurting someone.In my opinion hazing is wrong. There is no reason to harm someone or make someone to do something embarrassing to enter a group.

Hate Crime

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/26/nyregion/man-sentenced-to-9-years-in-10-attack-on-cabdriver.html

This article is referring to hate crimes. And in this article Micheal Enright is imprisoned in jair for 9 1/2 years for attacking a cab driver. This man was a alcoholic for many years and as he was entering the cab he was also drunk. Micheal asked if the driver was Muslim and he responded with a yes. Because of this Micheal killed a innocent life. Its referred to hate crime because it discriminated a specific religion.

As for what was being discussed in class I believe that everyone has judgment in them. Because that's how the beginning of time was. Though we have evolved greatly from that time, those feelings still come in our human nature. Its something that is unstoppable.

Many may thing it can hurt the baby, but clearly it befits the baby  it also contributes to the the women body to stay shape.

http://health.usnews.com/health-news/news/articles/2013/11/05/childhood-music-lessons-may-offer-lifelong-benefits

This article is talking about and suggests that children they grew up learning and practicing music are far more educated then kids who didn't. The study included 44 adults from the age of 55-76.Because of learning and playing music it is said they were capable to responding to speech sound. I think that this could be really true. Because music requires skills and discipline that is needed throughout our lifetime.

Concussed Kids Need Break From School

Concussed Kids Need Break From School



This article is talking about kids that have got a concussion. The article states that kids who have got a concussion should take time of out of school. Doing this will allow kids to slowly get back into their academics. By doing this it will help the recovery team and will put less stress on the students brain. Some people my argue that by taking the kids out for a while will ruin their education but, in my opinion by taking the kids out your relaxing their brain and easing them  back into their regular study habits. Which eventually will help the student instead of hurting him and his brain.
