when watching tv and skimming through the paper i never noticed how lazy Americans are getting and how all these anti-biotics are in the end actually becoming bad for america. Like in the 30's when all these crazy anti-biotics came out and all these people never finished the full prescription and now all these crazy bugs and a small flu is killing people, that scientists can not find treatments for these genetically altered Super Bugs that can kill anymore. And you see a treatment for everything! and in the past few years people are just getting over diagnossed and so many kids have been wrongly diagnosed with ADD and ADHD and americans can't even change there diet for high blood pressure, high cholestorol, and also all these people getting diabetes and all these crazy miracleweight loss pills cannot be good for ones body and how in hospitals they are starting to give placebo pills or sugar pills like how everyone thinks theres always something wrong with them and just with obeciety getting so much more common is really making people scared for the future.

this week in AIS on friday we discussed and took a survey i guess on how "the american dream" is pursued or what america or an american life is about and the basis off it i guess. And alot of the questions really left me thinking hard and to answer them i was really confused and striken with alot of like fussyniss on how to answer and which answer to pick. And when thinking about a life and what i believe in and what my dreams and perspectives are on life and i came to the conclusion that i think that there are really no definite motoes or perspectives you can have on life b/c life is always changing and something new and unexpected may always show up so i think you can just go through life with a clear outgoing opening and just keep living and being thankful for your chance to live but just be open to whatever is next and worry when that time has come b/c you only have one life to live.

When thinking about the percent of Jewish Citizens within the US and that its like less than 5% really strikes me as weird. Because for example on Saturday when drving downtown with a couple of my friends; i was like oh lets turn on 93.9 for the christmas carols and i realized that i was the only one who was not Jewish in the car and for example a major connotation of Glencoe is just that all the jewish people live there and this just strikes me as interesting especially when on friday in class during our discussion one of the major controversal topics was where you grow up is who you become and it strikes me as funny when there are so little jewish people in the world and on the north shore there are so many jewsih people around and i could never think that that could affect my life and when i get older and maybe move away that things would be a lot different is a shocker.
