Why is adoption good?

Hari — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:20:19 +0000

Adoption has its benefits to all parties involved in the process. Whether one is the birth mother, the baby, or the person who decides to adopt this particularly baby, there are plenty of good things that may result from it. The simple fact that other people are willing to take care of somebody else’s child is good in itself.

Babies and children that are offered for adoption by other people and families have different stories to tell. One baby may be born out of wedlock from teenage parents. Others may be part of an already large family which is unable to meet its expenses on a daily basis. There are also those that are given up because of health or economic reasons. But regardless of their stories, these babies that are adopted will ultimately benefit from the process. Having a new set of parents or a family that wants to take care of them is one great benefit to have for these babies. A brighter future could be ahead of them because of a new and loving environment provided by the adoptive family. The adopted baby could have more opportunities in terms of education and support.

In the case of those who decided to give up their children for adoption, they may also get some benefits from their situation. Knowing that their child will be taken cared of will bring a sense of peace to birth mothers, for example. This is especially applicable to those who are unable to provide the basic needs of their child. Young mothers could also pursue their dreams if there is no more baby involved in the equation.

As for the adoptive parents or family, having a child in the home will provide a new sense of happiness and direction. The adoptive parents will be able to experience raising a child, and this wouldn’t be possible if they didn’t choose to adopt. All family members involved may also feel more satisfied with their lives as they are able to help other people who are in need.

Why do smart people drink?

Hari — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:04:38 +0000

It has been always perceived that smarter people tend to drink more than their “not-so-bright” counterparts. In fact, there have already been several studies that show the fact that more intelligent people have a greater tendency to drink or even drink more later in life. Some studies that have been conducted early in primary school demonstrate those who are excellent in various academic subjects show greater tendencies to become heavy drinkers when they become adults. But then, of course, these studies do not show for a fact that a bright child in school will eventually become a heavy drinker by the time he/she is a teenager or adult. In many of the studies conducted for this purpose, not much detail is given on the factual reasons that people with higher intelligence drink more.

With these studies, though, people have also come up with several theories and explanations on why smarter people drink. Some people point out the very basic reason of economics. If a person is considered intelligent and smart, then he/she is more likely to have a job and a decent way of life. This particular, smart person is then more likely able to spend some of his/her hard-earned money for personal luxuries like drinking. The not-so-intelligent people, meanwhile, are perceived to have lower incomes which may prevent them from pursuing personal wants like buying a drink.

Other people also think that smart people drink so they will be able to tolerate the behaviors and/or attitudes of other people. With alcohol in the body’s system, people tend to be less uptight and have more confidence. Alcoholic drinks particularly feed the minds and egos of smart people enough to make them feel better and happy with their lives. With the personal yearnings for being good, looking good, and feeling good, many get them from drinking alcohol.

Why do blondes get more attention?

erwin — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 18:14:23 +0000

Blonde girls are presumably more noticed and/or more talked about compared to dark-haired women or even red heads. The attention that blonde women get may be due to a variety of reasons. But for most people, the blonde hair color literally makes a person stand out from the crowd. Most people in the world have dark-colored hair, so by putting blondes into the mix, they will definitely be more noticed and subsequently get more attention.

Many people also associate blondes with beauty and attractiveness. Although beauty can be applied to different people of different races and different hair colors, there are people who consider blondes prettier and more attractive. In the case of women, the main concept about being beautiful is almost always associated with blonde hair. This thinking has continued on from generation to generation making more people think of blondes this way. Even popular culture got into this mindset with examples in the field of entertainment having many so-called beautiful and blonde figures like Marilyn Monroe and the toy doll Barbie among many others.

But aside from good looks, blondes also have the reputation of being lively, happy, but dumb. Because of this stereotype in society, more people even get intrigued with blonde people. Like in the case of women who have light hair and are very attractive, people tend to give them more attention because many would like to find out if they are truly lively people and/or dumb people. For blonde women in this case, it may be either a good or bad thing for them to get more attention. But overall, this type of stereotyping keeps people somewhat more interested in people with blonde hair, especially women. And because people do this or have this mindset, technically, blondes do really get more of other people’s attention.

Why do overweight people lose weight faster?

Hari — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 18:56:01 +0000

Weight is lost more rapidly by people reducing the calories they eat and by increasing their exercise to burn calories. It is found that the people who weigh more can lose the weight very rapidly in this process. This is the reason for certain contests on weight loss to measure the weight loss in terms of weight loss percentage and not as lost pounds. The percentage lost is used for tracking the progress more so than by counting the weight that is lost as pounds.

The obese people lose weight faster because they lead a lifestyle which is sedentary. If there is no physical activity done by the obese person, then he/she will tend to gain weight. The physical activity not exerted will result in making the person dull and inactive. Due to this inactivity, even a small amount of exercise can indicate increased physical activity and starts burning calories.

The obese people will have more mass and, hence, can burn more calories while doing the physical activity. The obese people will possess greater mass in their body to make the body move and so they need more energy to move that mass. A 150-pound person was found to be burning 236 calories by walking at the speed of 3 mph for a 1-hour duration. A 250-pound person was found to be burning 393 calories when he/she is walking at the same speed for the same time.

The overweight person will have an excess basal metabolic rate. The person is able to burn more calories by not doing anything other than running the organs like the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, and other organs. This happens when the person weighs more. The body also makes use of energy to repair the cells and replace them. Therefore, a body that has more mass will have to spend higher maintenance costs. If the weight is more, the calories that are burned will also be more even when the person does not do anything.

Why do Mormons practice polygamy?

Hari — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 06:31:30 +0000

The polygamy is the system which is even allowed in the bible. It is observed that bible talks about many men that were polygamous. The polygamy is followed by the approval and blessing from God. The polygamy is followed to multiply and spread the religion. The polygamy refers to a man marrying several women. Polygamy is followed so that the man can impregnate more than one woman every year and can spread his family. A woman can only give birth to a child in one year and she can do this for certain fertile period only. A woman can usually remain fertile for about 30 years or less than that. But, a man can impregnate many women in the period when a woman gives birth to a child. This will help in distributing the religion by expanding the family. If a man has only one wife in his life, he can only be the reason for the birth of one child per year and about 30 children in her entire child bearing years.

But, if the man marries 10 women, he can be responsible for creating about 300 children. If the potential wives who can give birth to a child are many for a man in a period during which he can produce sperms, then he can give rise to several children. In Mormons and in some of the Christian religious groups, it is considered that the women are property of the family. The men who had more wives will be observed to be belonging to high class as he has more possessions. The other reason for maintaining multiple wives in the family is that some women die after giving birth to a child. The children of the dead mother will be taken care of by the other women in the family.

Mormons were practicing the polygamy secretly till the Church announced it officially in the year 1852. According to the study of the Church historians, nearly 33 percent of people in Mormon community are polygamists in the 19th century. These people include church leaders and significant people in the Mormon communities.

Why do Face book friends disappear?

Hari — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 06:24:33 +0000

The friends in the face book disappear suddenly and we cannot find them even after searching for their names in the list. If their names do not appear in the list it means that they have carried out account deactivation in the face book. If their names are there seen in the list then it says that they might have deleted your name. So, it will not be fine to ask them for that as they would have removed your name in their friend’s list.

If you see that your friend has disappeared from the list, then their account might have undergone suspension or it might have been disabled. The names of the friends in the list are removed to include only the close friends and members of the family. If the friends who have disappeared from your list are available in the list again then the face book might have ceased to be friends with you or the face book might have made some errors.

Sometimes, it might happen that some friends appear when you login at one time and they suddenly disappear when you login again after logging out. When they have disappeared at one time they will appear again without creating any request for the friend. This is experienced by many people using face book. They have an opinion that there is some problem with face book. But, this might also happen when there are several members in the list and the list is very long. The friends who are active or online will get highlighted in the front and those who are offline will be listed later. Sometimes, if the list is very long the names will be listed one after the other and those that come later will be hidden. Their names will appear only if you specifically search for them.

Why do populations evolve?

Hari — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 06:22:40 +0000

The physical traits, metabolism, behavior and phenotype of the population will be altered by the environment. The selection of the set of population by nature will establish the desirable genotype in the gene pool. Evolution is a long process in which the organisms in the population will pass their genetic changes from one generation to the next slowly so that the phenotypic changes will be manifested after a long period. The changes in the DNA of the gametes which are distributed to the future generations will not just get manifested in one single organism. The organism that has brought changes in its genotype will not live longer. The evolution of a population of species will take numerous generations as a single organism will spread the genotypic changes to another organism. The process goes on as a chain from one organism to another. Ultimately, it results in the formation of a new population with the new genotype manifested in the phenotype of all the organisms.

The natural selection will show its influence on the individual organisms, their survival capacity and the success in their reproductive characteristics. The impact of natural selection on the evolution will be shown by observing the changes in the population of organisms as time passes. Therefore, it is understood that the new group of organisms that bring changes in their phenotypes and genotypes will show that a new population has evolved rather an individual. This is because the changes that have occurred in a population at the expense of other groups will make the population to evolve.

The evolution of population happens when the difference between the groups based on the changed genotype will struggle hard to gather and use all the resources to give rise to another generation. This new generation will possess a new set of alleles to evolve a new population. The evolution is just not associated with the specific individual but, will explain this evolutionary process going on for several generations.
