What factors contribute to such prejudice and how? (e.g., television, parental attitudes).
Factors that really effect the thought of many individuals usually comes from the media and those whom you are around. Parents should be the greatest impact on an individual, parents are your guideline to success and help you with what ever you need. However, media such as television or music can effect too, by showing an individual how different everything is and giving new options. Media and parents always make us think that what they say is alright and that we should follow along.

Discuss Adolf Hitler's reported statement, "Who still tells nowadays of the extermination of the Armenians?" Does this statement have any validity today?
Hitler uses the Armenian genocide as a perfect example of how the Turks exterminated nearly all of the Armenian race and that no one knows of it, and still do not today. Hitler thought that the same would happen with the Jewish people, but his mistake was killing in extremely large numbers, around a million and a half Armenians have been massacred due to the genocide, but for the Armenian population, those are extremely large numbers. It is a shame that more than half the world most likely does not know what and Armenian is.

Medieval Knight Found Under Parking Lot In Scotland; Mysterious Remains Thrill Archeologists

THE HUFFINGTON POST

by: Meredith Bennett- Smith

Archaeologists found a unknown body of a nobleman or a knight under a Scottish parking lot earlier this week. This body was well preserved and is able to be tested for DNA tests. It is explained how close it is buried to a church, and the closer the body is buried to the church or monastery, the more significant the individual is. There was also a sandstone slab found near it and they are both believed to date back to the thirteenth century, from Blackfriars Monastery. "The knight would have been buried in the graveyard associated with the monastery meaning he had money or was important in the society of time," Murray told HuffPost. After a DNA analysis, scientists say that the body found belonged to King Richard the third.

Comets & Life On Earth: Impacts May Have Jump-Started Biological Evolution

The Huffington Post

By: Mike Wall

There are many theories of how Earth has formed, many collisions and the most famous one would be the, Big Bang theory. The Big Bang theory is known to have been a colossal explosion and formed the Milky Way, and formed all of our planets. Here, we have a new theory of how Earth its self was formed, through the impacts of comets or meteorites. They have concluded that comets or meteorites might have "jump-started" our biological evolution on Earth. A team of chemists say that linked pairs of amino acids called dipeptides can be created in space conditions. Dipeptides was supposedly brought to Earth from either a comet or a meteorite billions of years ago. This is what just may have formed the even more complex molecules which are necessary for life as we know it, such as proteins and sugars.

Horse Meat Found At Taco Bell In UK

The Huffington Post
Taco Bell was first sued over a year ago for have less than forty percent beef and now they are putting horse meat in their beef? These DNA traces of horse meat were found by Britain's Food Regulators and are warning their citizens, I think think if they are just adding horse meat, they could be adding just about anything in their beef, this is way many of us should beware of fast food restaurants like Taco Bell, McDonalds, Carl's Jr., and Burger King, those are the main fast food restaurants with beef and they could have anything in the meat. An excellent point was made in the video, how Americans probably would not care at all, for as long as it tastes good, they will continue to eat it because obesity is a sickness and many are not paying for what they actually ordered. Once again, we should all stay away from sick fast food joints like this so that they parish, and quality can be restored in our food.

With a budget of  $100,000, one can cause such chaos in neighborhoods, and that would be no fun. So if I were to host a party with a budget that high, it would take place in a rented Mansion which would be $2,600 a night, and it would last two days. Guests would all be picked up at their own homes by a limousine company owned by close relatives, which includes Chevy Tahoes and Cadillac Escalades, which would be free on my side. Students of Rose and Alex Pilibos would be invited, excluding many morons. Everyone will be served finger food and it will be served by a dozen waiters. A DJ will be hired (professional) and there will be a room full of liquor, for all the crazy alcohol fanatics. That would include Blue label, Black label, all types of Vodka, Tequila and of course, Jack Daniels. All types of food will be served, BBQ will fill the stomachs of all my guests. There will be a separate room full of sand and scorpions where everyone will have a chance to dig up $50,000 worth of tiny gold nuggets in the matter of ten minutes per a dozen people. $5,000 dollars worth of liquor will be shot down and will harden everyone's hard working livers, and to make the pain sensation a bit more intense, Monster and Red Bull energy drinks will be served to all the fools who are daring enough to confuse the hell out of their over worked heart and liver. The $2,000 dollars worth of Energy drinks would most likely be consumed and there will be no drugs allowed whatsoever. People will enjoy listening to the greatest Hip Hop, Rap and any other requested songs they have ever heard of. I will not be held responsible of any of my guests deaths, as they are asked to sign a waver in the beggining, including private street racing and burn out contests, everyone will be given a pair of rear tires so they do not do damage to their original tires, or they can choose to keep the Pirelli or Michelin tires given to them, which will cost $500 for the pair. Only twenty people can participate in the burnout contest, for I am still on a short budget. Everyone will be given a gift as they leave, a simple golden ring, with a unique symbol resembling a special night that everyone will not forget, and that would destroy the remaining $32,000 left in my budget.
