The Beatles

What is a Beatle? Maybe you think of a rea creature who creeps and leaps about. But most people recall four English teens called the Beatles, who appeared as a rock group in the nineteen sixties. Leaving bebop behind, the Beatles created a uniquea beat that appealed to everyone. Seen on American TV, they were greeted by screams and cheers. "Please Please Me" and "She Loves You" ver among their many pieces. They even received an award from the queen of England. The team broke up as they reached their peak, but each member continued his own career. The world grieved the los of their leader, John Lennon, who died in December 1980 Although only briefly on the scene, the Beatles created meaningful music that will be here for an eternity.

A FEW SIMPLE WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR THINKING

When you are looking for new ideas or you need to solve a problem, do you think on paper?  This post will show you a few easy to use tools, which can help you become more creative and a successful problem solver.
1. The fist tool, we can use for thinking on paper, is a simple spider diagram. We can use this as a way to generate ideas. Start off with a key word or short phase in the middle of the page. This key word or short phase is something that's linked to a project we are working on. Once the key word is written down, we can spider off it, with new ideas. This also shows us instantly, how our though process is working. Because these ideas are all on paper in front of us, we don't need to remember them and can use our mind 100% to create.  The spider tool is like the mind mapping technique. Together with making list, they help breakdown our thought patterns and make it easier for us to accoplish one big task at a time. This is great when you are brainstorming and organizing your thoughts. 
2. Ask the question – get the answer is the approach. We can start off by writing the problem down at the top of the page, as if it were a question.Once we turn the problem statement into a question statement, next step is that we can simply write down as many possible answers as we can.

How, what, when, where, who.. whatever the appropriate beginning to the sentence as it will drive you to an answer simply by giving the direction.  
3. Another favourite technique to generate inspiration is to let our subconscious do the work. State the problem to yourself either on paper or in conversation, to focus your mind, discuss it briefly, then deliberately stop. After that work on something else. Usually by the time you need to get back to it, you have several options bubbling away in your mind.

4. We can also use post-it notes with large pieces of paper: one idea or question per post-it; then if another idea flows from one of them, we can write a subsequent post-it which we put near the first one. In this way we can get our thoughts fleshed out.

Pen and paper is great if your topics don’t overflow a page. A portable white board allows you to view the diagram from a distance – this can be a powerful perspective. Software is great if you have a large diagram or want to use a non-handwritten diagram in a document.
These are just a few simple techniques that anyone can use easily to improve thinking and solve problem.

Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is, among many things, the ability to understand and apply the abstract, the ability to infer and to meaningfully investigate. It’s the skills needed to see parallels, comprehend intersections, identify problems, and develop sustainable solutions. 


According to theFoundation for Critical Thinking, sound critical thinking is imperative to social progress. It is with our thoughts that we shape the world: Thinking creatively shapes social and cultural structures. It affects the way blame is placed, the way ideas of right and wrong are developed, the way leaders are elected, and the way we understand our place in the world as individuals and as a collective. It helps define, or complicate, who “we” are in the first place. 

A PRESENTATION

I'd like to talk about teens plastic surgery. Let's have a look at a little.

Do you ever wish you looked like a model or o movie star?

Arizona twins Mike and Matt Schepp did.

The 20 year olds wanted to look like actor Brad Pitt so much that they got nose jobs, cheek and chin implants and porcelain dental veneers, totaling more than $22.000 each not a little number.

According to a new survey by Bliss, a popular British Magazine, many other teens with an average age of 15, have considered getting plastic surgery.

Let's look at the numbers of the two years.

According to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons Reports, in 2000 the number of teens who had plastic surgey was 306.000.
In 2003 the number of teens ages 18 and younger who had plastic surgery was 335.000.
In 3 years the number rose about 30.000. This means it's rising approximately 10.000 in every year. The number is on the rise.
So, here, the important point we ougth to know is that cosmetic surgery for teens only "suck". This sector is being called as "suck sector". Because so many sergeons try to get money through teens desire by operating them unnecessary reason.
Pennsylvania plastic Surgeon Dennis Hurwitz turned away two-thirds of the teen patients who visited his office to search new look. Instead, he tried to persuade them to be happy the qay they were. He could have done that, but he couldn't.
And also, the big problem with adolescent (young people who are no longer children but who have not yet become adults) is they are being operated on the most complicated time of their bodies. Because they are always being in change. They may not approve of the permanence of their look in the future. Their point of view may change in the future. Also, plastic surgery carries a risk of cmoplications, either scarring or the risk of disappointment with the results.
But sixteen year old Melanie Weiss thought the benefit was worth the risks, and had rhinoplasty "a nose job".
Melanie's mother, who also underwent rhinoplasty, didn't want her daughter's self-esteem to suffer.
She said, "I had been ridiculed about my nose from the time I was in fifth grade and I didn't want my daughter to go through the same thing."
Furthermore, one of the twins said, "The longer you go on living like that, the more it's going to affect you and bring you down." And he said, there is another plus, "It has definitely help me get more girls."

What do you think?
The disadvantages outweigh the advantages or the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

The answer of this question may be depend on how people want to look like, but we are sure that plastic surgery will be on the rise in the future.
In my opinion, the more media brings this subjet to teenagers' attention, the more they will want to change their look as models and actors.
