Day 12 prompt

Madelyn Perkovich

In searching round, I discovered that owning a business is a very big commitment. Growing up, my dad has owned multiple businesses, so I'm no stranger to the idea. Owning a business takes a lot of investment and risk. It takes mounds of dedication. In talking to business owners, some common positive things they had to say resembled "having control" or that its " rewarding in the end" Some businesses always bring in large amounts of money, so there is less stress on the owner. Other businesses however, have rough months with smaller income, and this is a larger stress factor for business owners. Personally, I believe i'd like to own a business. That being said, I wouldn't want to own a business I'm not certain would succeed, so I probably wouldn't be the best business owner. It is a large commitment and a very large responsibility. owning a business means having to be able to take criticism constructively and staying on top of your game.

Day 6 news response

Madelyn P. The discovery of the Jebel Irhoud fossils raise a question that everything we thought we knew is false. How old is the homosapien species? older than we originally thought. New fossils were discovered in Africa in 1961 that dated back about 350,000 years ago. This raises a lot of speculation about the features we were formed from. The jaw was larger, and the skull was more elongated. Summing this up quickly, we have discovered new evidence about how far we as a species date back, and valuable traits have been discovered about our origins and how we lived, before we were "modern" humans.

Madelyn P. Advances in medicine continue to become more complex, though i think this one is fairly simple. New research has led scientists and doctors to believe there is a link between impaired smell and neurodegenerative diseases. Alzheimers and Parkinsons may be closely linked to sense of smell, and doctors may be able to predict the onset of the disease by a simple smell test. studies have even shown that impaired sense of smell may be an even better predictor of these diseases than memory loss. This could be an incredible advance for the medical field in diagnosing people earlier, and apparently already has been.

Fredrick Douglass final response

Madelyn Perkovich 6/12/2017   About his grandmother, Fredrick Douglass states "She had rocked him in infancy, attended him in childhood, served him through life, and at his death wiped from his brow the icy brow the cold death sweat, and closed his eyes forever. She was nevertheless left a slave- a slave for life- a slave in the hands of strangers;and in their hands she saw her children, her grandchildren, and her great grandchildren divided, like so many sheep,without being gratified of the small privilege of a single word, as to their or her own destiny."   In this passage, he paints a picture of true sorrow and misery. This was effective in provoking my emotions of pity and sorrow because of the absolute unfairness of it all. The human heart is delicate, that woman was human, she was attached to her children and grandchildren, they were her entire life and purpose. After her long, dreary life as a slave, she was served no justice or consolation for all her labors. ...
