Gandhi

     Mahatma Gandhi once said, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Witnessing poverty in other countries and hearing the sad stories of sickness and death ignite my desire to make this world a better place. Countless children die each day from malnutrition, abuse, and acts of terror. My life goals can fulfill my own wants and needs and contribute to the community by creating a community donation center. This center will distribute necessities to the umpoverished of the community. Eventually, everybody will be helped and it will keep the community together.

Blog-Post Assessment




    My favorite restaurant is Chefski's Polish Home-Made Cooking in Wallington, New Jersey. The exact address is 360 Main Ave, Wallington NJ  07057. They expicitly serve delicous Polish home-made food. The dishes remind me of the Polish restaurants I used to go to with my family when I lived in Brookyln. My mom is "straight-off-the-boat" from Poland but even her cooking is not as good as Chefski's. (Kocham cie, mama.) 
     My absolute favorite dishes from the restaurant are pierogi (Polish dumplings), zapiekanki (cheese and mushrooms on bread), and nalesniki (Polish crepes). Chefski's had made fresh, delicious Polish foods for surrounding communities for six years and continues to delight Polish and non-Polish people alike. It is my favorite restaurant people the food is amazing and reminds me of my Ciocia Grazyna's (Aunt Gracy's) food in Poland. 
     If Chefski's were to close down, I would probably have to move to my Ciocia's house in Poland. She serves tasty Polish dishes just like Chefski's. However, it would be a little impractical to move to Poland due to a restaurant closing down, so I would probably look for another Polish restaurants to meet my standards. I would definitely recommend Chefski's to anybody who wants to experience Polish cuisine without having to leave the comfort of their country!

Nanotube Film


     A new study suggests that a wireless, light-sensitive, and flexible film could potentially form a prosthetic device to replace damaged or defective retinas. The film both absorbs light and stimulates neurons without being connected to any wires or external power sources. It has so far been tested only on light-insensitive retinas from embryonic chicks, but the researchers hope to see the pioneering work soon reach real-word human application. If the technology does prove viable for use in humans, we could see it applied in treatment of age-related macular degeneration, which currently affects as many as 15 million Americans, and in other retina-based vision problems - including many forms of blindness.

Sociology

     Sociology is the academic study of social behaviour, its origins, development, organization, and institutions. If I were a teacher, sociology would be a class that I would add to our school curriculum. We don't have the course of sociology and I find it to be a very interesting class. Sociology studies society in a scientific way and improves our understanding of it. Sociological knowledge is necessary for understanding and planning of society.
     The class would be an elective that would meet in the time of a regular elective during the day. The students would learn basic vocabulary of behavioral science. Specifically, they would study human interaction, culture, socialization, religion, and social change among other things. The class would be an open discussion with the profession so that everyone could learn at that same pace. At the end of the course, there would be a project that epitomizes what they learned.
