Response to global warming readings

I think it is ridiculous that we are only now putting caps on our carbon dioxide emissions since the U.S. is the biggest producer of carbon emissions. As the population continues to increase, we are continuing to consume more and more natural resources. It seems that no matter how we try to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions, our efforts will never be enough. Even though global warming happens slowly over time, people cannot procrastinate on taking measures to fix global warming. It seems like there is too small a number of people involved in the efforts of global warming right now to make a difference. Everybody in the world needs to start taking action to stop global warming so future generations can enjoy the world as many generations have already done.

Response: "DNA Test Gives Students Ethnic Shocks"

I think that finding what ethnic background you really are is interesting. I think it is amazing what you can find out about yourself from a simple DNA test. This article has gotten me curious about my ethnic background. It would be interesting to know exactly what percent I am of each ethnic background. For some people, the results can be shocking. Like in the article, some people thought they were more of one ethnicity than another but they found out they were wrong. If they never took the DNA test, they would have never known. They would have gone through their whole life without knowing the truth.
Today, I think people shouldn’t be caught up in what race they are and what race everyone else is. People should not judge each other by the color of their skin because that doesn’t determine who they are. Just because someone could find out information about their ethnic background, it doesn’t change them. Everyone has their own identity that isn’t determined by the color of their skin which is something everyone should remember.
