Thanksgiving Finale

Wasn’t it nice when people weren’t rushing to the store and pushing one another to get to the last shirt in their size? On the one day of the year where were supposed to be thankful for what we have, people are shopping. Now that stores are opening on thanksgiving nobody gets a chance to spend quality time with their families and reunite with one another. Rather people eat dinner with their families, chit chat a little and rush to their favorite store to get an item that’s $3 cheaper than it usually is. I’d say it’s a ridiculous idea to open stores on thanksgiving evening but don’t let the obsessive shoppers hear that.

Opening stores on thanksgiving is not only affecting shoppers quality time with their families but it’s also affecting the employees. It’s funny to think people are posting status’s on Facebook explaining how thankful they are for who and what they have in their lives. Yet, later that night they’re fighting someone for a 24’’ tv. In a few years, you can thank the stores for opening earlier and earlier on Thanksgiving night and putting an end to that holiday.

Animal Testing

Animal testing has always been a topic that I’ve been very passionate and heated by. Animal testing happens all around the world and has been happening for hundreds of years. This is a very argumentative topic that I believe everyone needs to be aware of. When researching this topic, I hope to find out that they can find another way to test products other than on innocent animals. Animal testing is a very cruel and inhumane process that needs to be put to an end.

Animal testing has been a huge debate for decades which is one reason why we need to prevent it from continuing on. Although humans benefit from animal testing, the suffering and pain it causes the animals is not worth the human benefits. Animals and humans are very much alike. Animals have feelings, experience pain, and think just as humans do. However, animals do not have the ability to make a choice. Innocent animals should not have to suffer because companies want to produce new eyeliner or an unnecessary vaccine. 

Coffee vs Energy drinks Summary

In my paper Coffee vs Energy Drinks, I explained which one is more efficient and beneficial. After many hours of research, I gathered information about each beverage and contrasted the two in many ways. I talked about what each beverage contains and how the ingredients can help a person with day to day tasks. I also went over the positive and negative aspects of each. Throughout researching, I found better ways that coffee can provide just as much energy as energy drinks, if not more but in a healthier way. All in all, I compared the two in several ways which help the reader have a better understanding of these two beverages.

How to spot a liar

In the Ted talk, “How to spot a liar” Pamela Meyer explains that everyone including yourself is a liar. Throughout the ted talk she presents 2 of the most used patterns to spot a liar. The first sign she introduced was by someones speech. The main signs to look for through someones speech are people who are extremely in denial and also when they change the subject. The second sign of a liar is ones body language. The most important signs to look for are, to much eye contact and a fake smile.

In my opinion, this Ted talk was very interesting. A lot of the Ted talks I watched previous to this one were very boring to me. However, when I found this Ted talk I didn’t want to stop watching it. I learned many different ways to spot a liar such as certain types of head shakes, gestures and expressions. Now that I know so many different ways to spot a liar I’m going to start trying it out on people. This Ted talk was very informational and she used a great process to present her speech.
