Same-Sex Attraction

       Hello Readers! Did that picture get you intrigued? I sure was confused when I saw it while doing some research. This is a top from London's Fashion Week this year. Apparently, there were lots of outfits that were feminine for the male models. I linked the post it this article at the bottom of this post. I feel like it goes perfectly with this week's topic. On Tuesday, we first talked about if there is a difference between men and women, besides the obvious, and what those differences are in their characteristics and behaviors. Now, all of these are from typical men and women. There is always the exception, and of course, the idea of Nature vs Nurture plays a part. I want to briefly list this differences because I think it will help transition into what I really want to focus on in this post.               Typical Female                  ...

Our senses become more acute, our heart rate goes up, your blood actually starts to thicken (to prepare for an injury), and your hands and feet might get cold since your body is sending lots of blood to your mid-section of your body to protect your major organs. It's so cool! Here's a link if you want to read more about the fight, flight, or freeze response.  Back to zombies....

Hello! First post to start off this blog and I’m so excited. This week in class was a real eye opener for me. We talked about the fact that families are getting smaller, that birth rates all around the world are declining, and then discussed why these things are happening. To prepare for the class we had to watch these movies about the declining birth rates and the effects of it. By the end, I was depressed about how the world was going to look in a few decades. To give you a short summary, there isn’t going to be enough people to fill jobs in the work field, so people are going to have to work harder and longer to just make enough to get by. It’s bleak y’all. I                         Elon Musk  has recently been open about his concern on this topic. He said, “I think one of the biggest risks to civilization is the low birth rate and the rapidly declining birthrate.” He went on to say, “...
