CELL PHONE RADIATION PROJECT

November, 19, 2010

The cellphone radiation project was a good learning experience for me. I learned that the things we mostly use on our daily bases can be the most fatal. This assignment made me realize that I have to take many precautions when I use my cellphone and also when I'm not using it. Everyone should limit there cellphone use because heavy users are the individuals that are going to be the most affected by this. There have been lawsuits on this investigation and few deaths because brain tumors were found in heavy cellphone users. What I learned about myself while doing this project is that I learned to take precautions and limit the way I use my cellphone, now I don't use it that much and I turn it off when i go to bed. This project also made me realize that I used to use my phone a lot and that was not good.

This project was really interesting, I went to many links online that taught me different things. I also saw many pictures in Google that showed the brain of someone whom doesn't use cellphone as much as a opposed to the person who is a heavy user and it is completely different the person that uses the cellphone a lot more than the other one has much more going on in there brain and u can tell that's not good. There were also some links that showed a list of cellphones from high radiation to low radiation and from the looks of it there are many cellphones with high radiation signal and many of us can be affected. I've learned to change my old habbits throughout this experience now when someone calls me or i call them i always use my headset because i dont want to be at risk of brain cancer tumors. I would rather be on the safe side then be sorry.

During this project I learned that the cellphone manufactures were being inconsiderate when they started to make these new cellphones with all this radiation not cheacking to see if it would affect anyone using the cellphones. It was selfish on there part not to think of it , and if they did check and they knew it would affect everyone it was wrong for them to stay shut about it. Since studies found that there were problems that came with radiation the manufactures started to label on many cellphone packages that they should beware of the risks they are taking while using the cell phones ,now its up to the public to ee how they use this information.

President Barrack Obama's motto in life is very simple to hear coming from him ,but the way we listen to it and apply it to our lives is harder to do. Many people hear others giving them advice and they take it and say okay I understand, "but later on they erase it from their mind. I took many good things from Obama's speech. Obama said many things that do apply in middle and high school students now and he also describes the many effects going on in schools , "for example many kids going to a new school or going into high school get treated differently then before and that's because in high school we have to be a certain kind of way in order to fit into a certain type of group. Obama made a great example when he talked about how he got made fun of a lot during his school years because he had a white mother and a black father plus his father left him alone when he was only two years old, this meant that kids in school would either make fun of his white mother or being a child with out a father and being called a bastard and names like that. Things like this we have to help others not to do because it's wrong and it hurts people, which can cause violence in many schools and school is suppose to be a place like home where you learn and you grow through out the years.

("Your future is in your hands. Your life is what you make of it. And nothing -- absolutely nothing -- is beyond your reach, so long as you’re willing to dream big, so long as you’re willing to work hard. So long as you’re willing to stay focused on your education, there is not a single thing that any of you cannot accomplish, not a single thing. I believe that.") Obama's goal in this message is to tell me that no matter what it is that I want to do in this world I can do it as long as I put a little effort into everything I do. Everything I do in life has and impact on today but also on my future. If I want to be something big in life such as doctor or even a president, I can I just have to apply my self to do that and never give up. The way I will apply my self to be what I want to be and never give up on my dreams is to come to school everyday, do all my class work ,do my homework everyday,whenever someone tries to put me down and tell me I cant do what I want to do or cant be what I want to be I will prove them wrong and show them I am better. President Obama's speech gave me so much inspiration to dream bigger and hope for better things in life that I deserve. I expect so much more from my education than just to get a high school diploma I expect to go to college for as long as it takes to get a great job that will pay me what i want to get paid and to be my own boss and hopefully my kids and family will look up to me and say I want to be like her.
