Memory

There are many different things that researchers have found which can help improve or stimulate your memory. In a recent study at the John Hopkins University, they found that caffeine not only can help boost your energy and help keep you up, but caffeine also can enhance your memory. The research shows that caffeine has a positive effect on our long-term memory, and it also shows that caffeine can help enhance your memory up to 24 hours after you learn it.

A test was done on people who do not normally consume very much caffeine. First these people were shown a series of pictures they had to remember. 5 minutes later, half of them were given a 200 mg tablet of caffeine and the rest of the people were left alone. The next day the experimenters were given another series of pictures, some the same and some different. The people who took the caffeine tablets were able to correctly identify the pictures while the people who did not not take any caffeine had a more difficult time correctly identifying the pictures.

Caffeine helps a person use deeper levels of memory called pattern separation. The caffeine that a lot of put intake focuses livens you up and keeps you awake, which in turn allows you to focus stronger and help you use a deeper part of your memory which will help your long-term memory stay more vivid and for more of an extended time period. The average person on average consumers 200 mg of caffeine each day, so our brains use this technique more often than you would think. Caffeine has a beneficial effect on your long-term memory.

28th Ammendment

I think that we need to make an amendment that moves the drinking age to the age of 18. I think there is a big need for this amendment. I think that this would help with a lot of things within our country. Our country is in debt big time and we need anything we can get to help generate more money. I think this amendment would generate more money for our country.

The amendment would read as follows: 28th Amendment - Drinking Age to 18
 Any persons ages 18 and over are legally allowed to purchase, make, and consume intoxicating liquid within the United States of America.

This amendment I think would overall benefit the country and everyone in the country as a whole. It would first of all save a lot of people from getting minors or getting tickets for drinking under age. Lets all be honest too, a lot of people younger than 21 already drink. It would help save many of these people from having to pay a fine or getting in trouble. Also, it would help to generate more money for each state and for our country. More people would have the opportunity to purchase alcohol which would in turn generate more money.

The last reason I think that this amendment needs to be passed is because 18 year old people now are treated as adults, so they should be able to purchase and consume alcohol like adults. 18 years old people have to sign up for the draft in the military, most have to start paying taxes, they can legally vote and have an influence on our country, and they have the right to purchase tobacco products.

With all these reasons I think that moving the drinking age to 18 would be very beneficial to our country, and it would benefit our country in the long run.

Donald Trump Narcissist or Sociopath

Narcissist - A person who is cocky, manipulative, selfish, wants power, and is obsessed with them self.
Sociopath - Person with a personality disorder which creates and anti-social attitude/behavior and a lack of thinking or conscience.

Donald Trump shows characteristics of both a narcissist and a sociopath. The one characteristic of a sociopath he shows is his lack of conscience. He doesn't really think about anything he says or does. He says whatever is on his mind, no matter how wrong or harsh it is, and he deals with the consequences later on. He also creates a very negative attitude about himself in the eye of the public. He gives himself a bad reputation and pushes a lot of people away. Although he characteristics of both, a narcissist fits his personality almost perfectly. He is very cocky an arrogant, and he is not afraid to let the public know this. He always tells people how much many he makes every year and wants the world to know "how great he is."

 He is also a very manipulative man. He has a very big influence on the public. He wants everyone to believe that he will cut down on taxes. He says that he will make many more new jobs in America. He also says that with his skills in the business world he will help to chip away at America's giant debt. The uneducated voters who like the sound of these proposals will vote for him. Many of his voters have no idea what they are truly voting for. He has manipulated many people into thinking he will help make this country great again.

Donald Trump is obsessed with power. That is all that he wants, control and power, and he has always wanted that. Over the years with his business he has generated a lot of money, and this has given him a sense of power. Now he wants the most power there is in the United States. He wants to be rich and he also wants to control the country.

Last but not least, Donald Trump is obsessed with himself. He only cares about all of the money he makes and has. He doesn't care about the country very much considering he hasn't paid taxes for the last 18 years. He proposed to build a wall just because he did not like a certain race. He is very opinionated and self centered and all he thinks about is the well being of himself. This has really showed clearly in his presidential campaign.

Overall Donald Trump is pretty 100 percent narcissist. In general he just cares about himself and his well being and tries to manipulate the public by portraying this as a good thing.
