I think there can be a lot of good things that could come out of eugenics. Scientists could figure out what is causing a lot of problems that trouble the world. The only bad thing with eugenics is that it is available to parents to make the “perfect” child. What would people think of someone who is not “perfect”? Would they be considered inferior to the so called perfect person? It would be nice to get rid of all the bad genes before someone is born. If someone was born “perfect”, they wouldn’t have to be worried or faced with any disease they could have in the future that could complicate or shorten their lives. Instead, they could live long, carefree lives.
I think researching eugenics and exploring it seems to be becoming the next step in the scientific world. But since there hasn’t been eugenics, there has been diversity in the world due to people who are not genetically altered. What would happen to the people who have jobs specializing with people who are genetically imperfect? Would eugenics wipe out those careers? There is a lot to consider with eugenics. People just have to decide if it is a good or bad thing.

Facebook: Why I Hate It
I’ve almost always hated Facebook. I only got it because it seemed mandatory to get it after you graduate from high school. I am never really on my account. I might go on once a week maybe more only if that is how I am communicating with someone to get a project done. I don’t even have a profile picture yet even though I had my account for almost a year now. To me, it seems like everyone is in a competition to see how many friends they can get. A lot of people probably don’t even know most of their so called “friends”. For many, Facebook is an addiction. Some people log on just to see what everyone is up to and think they can get off after a couple of minutes. Once they start reading everyone’s wall and looking at their pictures, they have been on for hours without even realizing it. Also, it seems like some people never get their school work done because they are always on Facebook. Another problem with Facebook is that even employers now are looking at it to see if a person is worthy enough to get the job that they are offering. The only thing I like about Facebook is that I can see what everybody is up to and how they are doing without even talking to any of them.
