In the video How to Live to be One Hundred Plus the main goal is trying to find the optimal lifestyle of longevity and come up with a formula for longevity. Dan Buettner starts talking about three blue zones: Sardinia, Okinawa, and Loma Linda, CA. The first blue zone is in Sardinia, only up in the highlands with an area called the Nuoro province. This part of Sardinia has an oldest male society, where 102 year olds ride bikes to work and chop wood. Since the land is so infertile, people in this area are mostly shepherds, which means their exercise is regular low-intensity physical activity. Their diet is mostly plant based and consists of unleavened whole wheat bread called carta musica, cheese made from grass fed animals high in omega 3 fatty acids, and Cannonau, a wine with three times the level of polyphenols. In this society, age and knowledge is thought of very highly, and is celebrated through a centenarian of the month calendar. Keeping family around is also a big part of the culture and can add an extra 6 years of life expectancy, which is also known as the grandmother effect.
The second blue zone is Okinawa, which is made up of 161 small islands and is 800 miles south of Tokyo. The northern part of the main island of Okinawa is ground zero for world longevity and has the oldest female population. This society has the longest disability-free life expectancy in the world. Their diet consists of a plant-based diet, full of vegetables with lots of color, and they eat
Have you ever wondered the differences between deaf and hearing cultures? Last week I had a chance to watch "See What I Mean" and this video gave me a humorous and enlightening look at the differences between them. In this movie "See What I Mean", issues such as attitudes toward time, taking time to say goodbye, complain about the use of phones and pagers, sharing information, giving and receiving criticism, and comments on personal appearance are explored and humorously discussed from the point of view of both cultures.

In the TED Talk “How to Live to be 100+”, Dan Buettner talks about lifestyles that are helping people live to be 100+. According to the Danish Twin Study, biology only factors into 10 percent of how long we live, the other 90 percent it based off lifestyle (Buettner 2009). Dan Buettner and his colleagues found three Blue Zones to try to find what types of lifestyles these people are living to become centenarians. Blue Zones are places where people live longer than the majority of people in the world. The Blue Zones are in Sardinia, Okinawa, and Loma Linda, California. They found similarities in their lifestyles that help them to live to be 100+. Those similarities are: they do not do strenuous exercise, have a period of down time, have a word
On a Wednesday evening at 9:05pm in Minnesota, an African American couple was driving in their car with a four-year-old daughter in the back seat. After being pulled aside by Joronimo Yanez, a police officer, for a broken tail light, Philando Castile, the driver, stopped his car. Officer Yanez asked Castile for his license and registration. Castile handed the officer his car license and registration, but also told him he has a weapon in his car, for which he was licensed to carry. Officer Yanez immediate words were “Don’t move!” As Castile put his hands up where the officer could clearly see them, officer Yanez shot him repeatedly four times in the arm to the horror of Castile, his girlfriend, and their four-year-old daughter. Completely stupefied by the event, Castile’s girlfriend, Reynolds, took out her phone and began streaming an online video directly to Facebook showing the immediate aftermath of the incident. In the video, Reynolds narrates the accident’s story and exclaimed, “You shot four bullets into him, sir. He was just getting his license and registration, sir. Please don’t tell me he’s dead.” While recording, her four-years-old asked “Mammy, I’m scarred!” Reynolds answered, “It’s okay, I’m right here with you.” Officer Yanez returned and ordered Reynolds on her knees out of the car. Still being recorded, the other officers on the scene asked officer Yanez of his mindset, checking if he’s ok, completing ignoring the true victim, Castile. Castile was left bleeding

Sometimes I ask myself, “Would I even want to live to one hundred years old”. From the perspective of an elderly person in modern America, my answer is a flashing neon “no”. When I think of the elderly, hospitals, bedside care, and group crafts are what come to mind. That is not exactly how I want to spend my golden years. But what if someone found a formula to create a higher quality and longer life? According to Dan Buettner, it’s possible. In a Ted Talk entitled “How to Live to 100+”, Buettner dives into blue zones, which are the few hot spots in the world where more people make it to and past one hundred years old than anywhere else in the world. Not only do the people

Ted Buettner says “There’s no longevity diet.” People that live in the blue zones usually have a little bit of wine to drink each day, they tend to have a plant based diet, and they have strategies to keep from overeating. My peers do not have any strategies for overeating; they will grab as much food as they can and go seat on the couch and eat all the food. Overeating is an easy thing to do living in the United States, when you go out and drive there are always places to stop and get something eat. Something else all the people living in blue zones have in common is the how they
Child abuse, in most cases, end in two different ways. The children are killed, mentally and physically, or the abuse is reported to the authorities. Approximately 5 children die every day because of child abuse. Although many people do not understand how many children are abused, there is a mass amount of content online about this topic and how it affects our society. Both videos are engaging and informative. However, although Video A has better text, Video B’s imagery and sound is more thought provoking, making Video B more effective.
Some of Okinawa’s secrets, are their importance of life (life of purpose), and their healthy tofu. Their tofu is high in protein, low in fat, has many minerals, and contains phytoestrogens (which are proven to lower the risk of getting heart diseases).
Blue Zones is an anthropological concept that describes the characteristic lifestyles and the environments of the world's longest-lived people.They are the places in the world where people live longer and healthier than anywhere else on earth. The four blue zones he talked about were the Italian island of sardinia; Okinawa, Japan; Loma Linda, California; and Costa Rica’s isolated Nicoya Peninsula. One of the common factors all these places had were the eating styles. All of them had a plant based diet. They all also lived in tribes whom were basically considered family just in case something would have happened to them or their family, these tribe members would be the backup plan and are the people who take care of them. So there social engagement levels were all high due to these tribe member always being with them and being with one another. All blue zones had a no smoking factor, which obviously caused them to live longer. My favorite similarity they all had was they always did something active. By active i dont mean running a mile or going to gym to
Like many people my age, media is a huge part of my daily life and is prevalent in all my memories. Media such as photography brings to life memories I otherwise would have forgotten, while the internet allows me to connect with others from across the world and gives me access to resources like Khan Academy to aid me in school. Media also has more negative impacts, such as interfering with family time. Whether its effect is positive or negative, media has influenced my life since the start and this reflection helped me realize that.
Technology occurred before the human kind and it has improved people’s lives positively and negatively. The influence of technology is really great that it has absolutely changed our lifestyle. Computers, the Internet, Gadgets all these things have transformed our working system completely and our productivity has increased unbelievably. As everyone knows with every positive that have to be a negative, technology is really great, but it also has a huge affected every part of family life. We are spending more time indoors than we are outside. The time we spent on the computer, watching TV, and other electronics drive is about 8 hours a day. During this time, we are usually spent alone and not with the rest of the family. With all the electronics drive, we currently have, we don 't need to get out of the house anymore, you can do everything from the luxury of your home. Almost everything revolves around technology now. Don’t get me wrong, I love computer and all the technology we have now, with every new invention coming out I have them all, Apple Watch, iPhone7 Plus, iPad, new Apple TV, and new headphone, most of my product is around Apple because I love the company they produce a good product, good design, and it last for a long time. On June 29, 2007, about 9 years ago, when the first generation of the iPhone came out, people will wait outside the stores to buy it. The estimated sales of this first generation iPhone were around 250,000 and 700,000 units in the first weekend
This year, in 2014, video game will turn 44 years old. The industry that started with a 1D computer space game has now turned into a multi-million dollar business. Over the years, video games have played a huge role and have undeniably become an integral part of our life and culture. But as the gaps of reality and gaming experience dwindle, this raises a question of whether video games, like films and music, could really be used as a valuable medium for educational purposes or is it really just the digital menace which potentially turns players into ferocious zombies. While the debate gets intensified, it has already been scientifically approved that video games do impose several psychological effects on human.
