Born Genius

http://captionwit.com/wp-content/caption/New_Beginnings_bpclz_r.jpg

It is incredible what people born with a genius can do. In the video they use as an example a child named Marc Yu that was born with an incredible ability to play the piano. This contributes with the theory that genius is born with because he just simply knew it when he was born. Fortunately, for Marc Yu his mom also pushes him to the best because she wants him to develop as best as possible. Even though Marc is just 8 years old he is studying with his mom subjects that an average kid would learn at the age of 14. As a musician Marc is able to read, feel, and hear music all at the same time. This is due to the cerebellum of Marc; every musician will have a better cerebellum than normal people because the cerebellum helps to speed up communication to play better. The video also recalls a case of a girl named Genie that was kept in a room for 13 years without being able to socialize, talk or to do any other thing. This exceptional case taught science that the brain uses a theory in which if you stop using a part of your brain you will lose it, better known as use it or lose it. Genie's case support the idea that genius is created because like she was never taught anything, then she couldn't walk, talk and lots of activities. Scientists have also proven that early education can help a kid's IQ later on. Is there a gene of genius? Hopefully scientists will be able to have an accurate answer of this question in an early future, but until now they cannot conclude anything.

Homosexuality

What makes humans gay? According to this video there is still no explanation for homosexual people because they do not no if they are made or if they were born with it. In the video they test twins called Jarred and Adam. Jarred seems to be very man like having action toys and military stuff, however his brother Adam is completely the opposite and has ponies and girl toys. What I learned from this video is that twins can be very useful when studying nature and nurture. This video also taught me that Adam will most probably be gay when he is fully developed and that the problem that he is confronting is called childhood gender nonconformity. In the video I found a lot of things very interesting like the fact that each time another brother is born in a family he is more prone to be gay than the first one. Another thing that appeared very interesting was the fact that gay people can be detected by their gestures because they have different gestures than those of their same gender. This video has formed a strong bias on my opinion. Now I think that homosexuality doesn't come with you, your environment creates it. Scientists are not going to be able to find any proof, even though they are still looking for it. After watching the both pair of twins I was fully convinced of my personal opinion because if they have the same genes how come one is gay and the other one is straight? There is only one answer for this, gay people are created.

Mind of a Murderer

Are criminals born or are they maid? After watching this video I am truly convinced that criminals are made and not born. The video explains that the most probable explanation for that type of behavior from an individual is an early brain damage. This taught me that when you are taking care of a baby, NEVER shake him or pat his head because a baby's head is very gentle and if it's not well treated the baby is prone to a frontal lobe damage which can lead to a criminal behavior when they get older. Another thing that I learned from the video is that criminal behavior can also by caused by depression, by jealousy resulting in vengeance or by the abuse of causing brain damage. In my opinion there should be a plan to prevent this problem because if the brain damage decreases then the criminal rate will decrease as well. Imagine if we would live in a safe world, with healthy people that don't think in killing or being a murderer. Something that I learn from the video and think that is very peculiar is author's case. He murdered lots of people, but it appears that when he was young he had a temporary paralyze due to an abuse from his parents. This builds up in the theory that criminals are made and not born, because if Arthur had not received this brain damage, then he would probably not be a murderer. Unfortunately for Arthur, he was found guilty and was taken to prison for killing people unnecessarily, but after so much days of prison he is close to his relief of debt. Finally, in my opinion I am convinced that criminals are made, that brain damage is one of the primary causes of the creation of a criminal and that other emotions may cause you to interact in a violent manner.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injuries are very painful and are the ones that people would most likely try to avoid. As shown in the video of Living with Traumatic Brain Injury you are very prone to the loose of skills (walking, playing, talking,), problems with the vision, a paralysis and problems to utter words. But even though those can be some of the problems, the most common ones are thinking and behavior problems. Many people change their way of being after being traumatized by a brain injury and they most commonly change the way in which they conduct themselves. I feel very proud for all of the four that have managed to overcome these accidents that they have encountered, but the one that I feel more proud of is Bryan because even though he is partially paralyzed, he has his family and loves them. This is a perfect example for other people because some people could commit suicide after passing through this injury. It would be very interesting to visit support groups to learn various unique cases of people that suffer this. Traumatic brain injuries often happen when force is applied to the skull, as in American Football when accidents occur and a player finishes with a concussion. Finally, if you are able to prevent this PREVENT IT because you would not like to experience this type of injury.

Reading Your Mind

Could you imagine reading the mind of your friends or any other person? Scientists have managed to get close to the mind reading by the MRIs. They have watched the brain action of an individual and have showed them different pictures, in this way they will know the activity in the brain for certain objects. After the scan the computer appeared to show one-hundred percent of efficiency. But the question of mind reading is still in the air because no scientists need to discover how to read what are they thinking of, without previously watching any brain activity. This is a very big challenge that still seems to be science fiction, but It would be fairly interesting that scientists will manage to solve this problem. If they do so this will be very useful in every trial because instead of debating at the court, they could just read the mind of the guilty and observe weather or not he is lying. Imagine all that people that have been sent to prison without being guilty, if that is true, it would be now much more easier for everyone to solve those problems. Finally, I believe that this mind reading should be used just in trials, but not daily because I don't think that anyone would like to be mind read at every time, even if they are thinking something good from someone.

Sleeping

Sleeping is one of the most essential things that every human being needs to keep developing their ideas. In the video, they embrace the necessity of sleep by making sleep trials with two teenagers. They decide to make one teenager sleep less time, while the other would sleep more time. After the experiment scientists concluded that the teenager with more sleep developed faster than the one who didn't have enough. They also show the different stages of Rem, showing that one teenager had more ram stages than the other. In my opinion every teenager needs sleep no matter what, but unfortunately for us there are too many distractions (video games and T.V.) and it is almost impossible for us to sleep early each night. Even though there are too many distractions some of us accomplish to sleep early because of exhaustion. Every teenager has always a hard day because they keep learning new things every day and some of them perform other activities as sports or other important clubs. There are many teenagers that accomplish to sleep enough and those are the ones who learn more, but some of the teenagers need to prevent sleeping long hours because sleep in excess is not necessary. Finally, I hope that my sleep is controlled adequately for my life so that I can give a hundred and ten percent of my strength in every day.
