Stem Cell Research: Opposing Views

For those of you who do not know Stem Cells are what made us who we are today. They are the cells that become our bones, our organs, our blood, our nails, our skin, our nose, and every other part of your body but I think you get the point. These cells are found in your mothers unfertilized eggs, they are within the egg and once the sperm reaches from there they are sent the signal to begin making the part of the body that is need. So the first question I asked myself when I began to look up research is ‘’okay that’s interesting BUT how does that help us now?” well I came to find out that there are hundreds of ways these stem cells could help other people.

                These cells can be used to help people with cancer, and many more sicknesses that take over this world. But the problem is not many people support this movement although it has great potential. Many people feel that because they have to use a woman’s egg it is like killing a baby. But despite the slim support in the world stem cell research is still going on. So at this point I wanted to understand who opposed this? Why did they oppose it? Were they educated in the topic or science at all? How could the research be more supported? Should more people know about it? How would things change if more people knew?

                This topic is something that is talked about within politics but I don’t feel is talked about publically enough. I think that there are three different types of people in this situation. The scientist, the opposition and the uneducated make up these groups. But I also came to realize that some of these people are the same people and are a part of both groups. So what im trying to show you guys through my paper is that all this views collide and you know when there is a collision, there is always a big boom.

Reflection !

Hello everyone.

I feel like I haven’t been here in a long time to talk to you about my writing experience but here I am!

When I started this assignment I was excited to talk about music, because I love music but once I got to the final stages of this paper I hated it. I just didnt want to look at the lyrics of this song anymore. I think I was more frustrated with the fact that I really didnt know what I wanted to discuss. Both sides of the story could be so strong. The song I wrote about was Pink’s Dear Mr. President. For those who don’t know the song it is an extremely liberal song in which Pink attacks former President Bush in the decisions that he made during his presidency. She directly asks him questions, even asking him to walk with her like they are just two people in the world and no one is better than the other.

What made this song difficult to write is if I should focus on the politics within her actual song or the politics within pop music directly and how this affects the media. I decided the later choice, discussing how pop music has always been influenced by the world and politics. Not only the music but the culture of pop music is dramatically affected by the politics of the war.

I think this is because everyone can relate to something that is going on in the world within politics. Not one country is perfect or has the perfect government so they always have problems where people can relate to them. The world is closely related to music because in most cases some type of art form is the way that people express their feelings.

Overall, I think that this assignment was worth doing but it was not necessarily the most fun I have had doing a topic.
