You ever wonder is it possible to bring back extinct animals of Earth’s past? Well with today’s advanced technology we have access to such tools to clone or modify genetic genes of DNA & RNA coding. We are able to harness the power to change the biological blueprints that make all living things look different from each other. With this power to replicate any living cell or creature in existence we can use this power to be able to use cloning to practically make anything. The reason why this is such a huge accomplishment is that we can manipulate life which means we can create any thing literally anything. We could use this power as a way to create new life to benefit or use this technology to be used for biomedical research, technology, and engineering. With the capability of being able to manipulate life we could use it to our advantage. One of the main advantages is that most diseases that we deem “incurable” can now be cured with this technology. Since Cloning technology allows us to manipulate life, it wouldn’t be hard to simply make the disease destroy itself completely without further causing harm to the host of the disease. This form of medical care could possibly eradicate all of the world’s infectious diseases at once. This would eliminate all the unnecessary research that is being wasted on trying to find cures for diseases. This would be the future of health care and a huge jump in technological accomplishments that would forever change the medical industry.

"Riots in the US." Gale Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection, Gale, 2015. Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints, https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/PC3010999319/OVIC?u=ggcl&sid=OVIC&xid=d43b1569. Accessed 10 Mar. 2020.
The article of which this topic talks about is the riots of the U.S. and how they are started, contained, and ended. In the midst of racial tension in America it is widely believed that the causes of theses riots are because of police brutality caused by racial profiling and racism in general. The U.S. is literally the only country that has violent protests due to these fatal shootings and encounters with policemen on African Americans.

The article talks about a very controversial topic, cloning. The ability to be able to create two of the same organisms with very little if not no differences at all. Cloning has a natural occurrence in nature as bacteria is asexual and reproduces with itself making differences not at all different. But humans have used their knowledge of cloning and used it for food production in the world. It can also be used for medicine production. The first animal ever cloned was a mammal in the 1970’s. The practice is thought to be able to bring back extinct animals of the world. One specimen that can be used in doin that is a frozen carcass of any select animal and using the dna in its tissues.
"Airport Security." Gale Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection, Gale, 2019. Gale In Context: Opposing Viewpoints, https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/PC3010999021/OVIC?u=ggcl&sid=OVIC&xid=0ed5e3f3. Accessed 12 Mar. 2020.
Airport TSA security is a custom that every airline passenger goes through. The job of airport security is to make sure no weapons are brought onboard a plane. The practice has been used since commercial flight started in the 30’s. Without the TSA there would be a more likelihood of aircraft getting hijacked and held for ransom or worse possibly a terrorist act. The TSA airport security completely destroys the risk of attack on a commercial plane from the inside. The procedures the TSA have done over the years compared to now makes a whole leap in technology and intelligence to mitigate the risk of a terror attempt/ attack

The Effect of Music on Humans
Music has been involved in human history for thousands of years and it’s popularity overtime has grew exponentially ever since the 20th century. The popular audio form of art reason for its popularity is because of humans. We like listening to sounds that make us feel happy and when we hear such sounds we tend to keep listening to those sounds because of chemicals released by the brain which is connected to happiness and euphoria when these emotions are released while an individual is listening to a song they like it causes it to be a connection between the two.
The impact of music on people is huge and complex and even the region of the specific music genre has a impact on the musical background of the area. The special thing about music is that it isn’t only made by one set group of people it is made by people all over the world which is the reason for its diversity in genres and cultures. If this form of art was to only be made by one set of people the level of different ethnics and cultures and genres would not develop or begin.
The ways of how music is performed is different depending on the genre and culture of the song. An example of this is the performance of opera and performance of hip/hop. Opera’s are usually performed at a large theater with a crowd of dressed up spectators sitting down, listening to the entire show to finish. Hip/hop on the other hand is the opposite. The show is usually performed loud in front of a large group of spectators with loud energy and excitement. If an opera show tried to perform like a hip/hop show the viewers would not like the show at all because it is not the style they like.
Different people are effected differently from others with different types of music and sounds from tracks heard by different people. Some music that is listened by different people have different varying effects on the brain. Music is directly linked to dopamine being released by the brain to change mood or feeling. It can be used during therapy to calm the brain and relax the body. Music has many uses and purposes and different styles and genres of music.

Does the human body replace itself every 7 years?
The human body is a very complex structure with soo many functions and features that is useful for the human to live comfortably. But just like a vehicle, humans also replace their parts to continue to work at the best possible way. People can replace their body by purposefully getting surgery or letting nature take its course by replacing your body’s cells slowly 1 by 1. This slow process of throwing away old cells in the body and replacing them with new cells keeps the body up and running at its best 24/7.
Different cells in the human body all have different life spans . For example red blood cells in the body can live for months until they die from being too old. White blood cells on the other hand can live up to a year before it dies. As one cell dies there is another cell produced to take the previous cell’s place in the body. All bones in the body also have bone cells that die off and replace themselves every 7 years to make better bone quality in the body and less chance of breaking a bone. On average most skin cells only last for 2-3 weeks until they die and fall off the skin.
So when it’s said that the body replaces itself it does it in a way that doesn’t completely get rid of a limb for a new one since humans don’t grow back missing limbs and organs etc. The cells of the specific body part all die and are replaced with new cells which is why the art is considered brand new this entire process is done for the entire body in 7 years depending on your daily activities. After the cells are all replaced that specific part of the body is better than the last.

The Valentine’s Day Origin Mystery
The origin of Valentine’s Day is not 100% known exactly how the holiday came around. There are so many stories to which none of them are 100% proven to be true. What is the Origin/history of Valentine’s Day? There are several historical versions of the origin and history of this widely celebrated holiday. All of which have basically the same story line and same major events in the stories. The Valentines Day origin story that is most appealing to me from my sources is “The History of Valentine’s Day”.
Valentine’s Day started off as a Roman holiday as the saint St. Valentine was killed by the ruler at the time, Emperor Claudius ll. St. Valentine wasn’t killed by Claudius himself but Claudius ordered the execution of St. Valentine for going against the law in Rome. The specific rule Valentine was going against was a rule of law that Claudius put in place because he figured that single men fought better in wars than married men. So he placed a rule basically restricting young men under a certain age to get married.
St. Valentine thought the right thing to do was to continue to carry out secret marriages to couples who were under the restricted age to marry. Soon Claudius found out about this and swiftly had St. Valentines executed for his “crimes”. The Holiday was accepted but with the slow rise of Christianity at the time the Lupercalia was soon outlawed and deemed “un-Christian”. Now the holiday is celebrated by all people of all ethnic groups and religions and is always celebrated on the 14th of every February of every year.
Valentine’s Day also offers a mythical being called Cupid. Cupid would shoot his heart shaped bow and arrow at anybody, making them fall in love with one another. Cupid was not always in the Valentine’s day holiday but was later made a symbolic figure of the Fall Holiday. Cupid is from greek mythology who is the son of venus.

Wrestling’s roots
Artist creations from around 3000 BCE in Babylonia. The art piece was an image depicting the sport of wrestling being carried out in Babylonia. This could be the place where wrestling was created. Wrestling around this time and era was like a life or death sport where the competitors sometimes fought to the death to become the winner in the match. Whoever won the match of the game would proceed on to the next competitor to win the tournament and so on. The winner would be named the strongest of all the competitors. In some cases the loser would be sacrificed.
The fact that the wrestling drawings have been found out in caves may have the evidence it needs to be proven that it is the worlds oldest running sport. Without these drawings there are no other evidence out there to date wrestling back as far back as 3000 BCE. And the drawings are a huge reliable legit piece of evidence to answer how old the sport of wrestling may be. And the sport continues to be popular to this day. The sport of wrestling is widely known to people across the world which is why the sport is still so popular after all the years. It is played in grade schools across the world and even in college and professional wrestling.
