While reading, "An Inconvient Truth, Introduction", I was actually quite happy with what the author was saying. Al Gore brought up the fact that global warming is real and happening, but it was the way that he said it that I really liked. He used phrases that were meant to shock you and show you the reality of the situation, like when he compared what happened with the dinosaurs, to what we are doing now. He also mentioned cases where the government had information and still refused to act on it, like with Hurricane Katrina. I definitely think that right now there are way too many people who still refuse to acknowledge what is happening, just because they're afraid of what it is going to cost them. In reality, it shouldn't matter what the cost is right now, because if our future is destroyed then we would have just sat around and done nothing. I also liked how the author brought in the idea of this disaster being an opportunity. I think that the idea of having a mission for our generation is kinda cool, especially if we will be able to live long enough to look back on it.http://wrt200suarez.blogspot.com/

http://wrt200suarez.blogspot.comThe article, "DNA Test gives students ethnic shocks", was very interesting to me. I have always been interested in what my heritage is. I know that my family history is spread out over several countries, so if there really is a test that could tell me my exact ethnic background, I would definitely consider doing it. Another topic I found interesting was how the one woman seemed to think that all of those people wanting to know who they really are was a bad thing. In other countries people can, for the most part, say what their nationality is. However, for Americans we have a harder time doing so because of all of the different nationalities living in our country. People in our country might not be who they think they are and I believe that many people would want to know. I think that it is a good thing for people to be curious about their heritage and it shouldn't be considered as our country not progressing against being so caught up in race.
