The purpose behind this article was to show a new bacteria that can live off caffeine and why we are unable to do so. The article shows that unlike our body, the bacteria breaks the rings of the genetic makeup of caffeine therefore turning it into energy to live off of. We as humans cannot do this just as we cannot digest cellulose that cows can, simply put we do not have the right bacteria to break it down for us. once we learn more of the human microbiome, we might find solutions to digesting such things as cellulose, or caffeine to turn them into energy we can live off of but for now we can not. We can relate this article to the world, their are still many bacteria we have yet to find and many things we still must learn about our body.

Fox's purpose for this article was to inform us of the documents found, it also gets into detail about the found documents that were about building a flying saucer. Fox says "the Nationsal Declassification center... opened one of more than 100 cardboard boxes from the airforce recently and came across a 114-page document. A document describing a secret program to build a flying saucer." The article gets into great detail about the type of engine, thrust, and size of the saucer but then gets into detail of the prject being scrapped due to failed tests. This shows to the world that many different vehicles and experiments are being made globally as a secret.

Essay of what is an individuals duty

“A love for tradition has never weakened a nation; indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril.”  –Winston Churchill A duty or more of a tradition? Most people would call it both but an individual doesn’t seem to know what his duty may be. Reflect and realize how many people do not do the basic traditions of a nation that may make it stronger.

An individual’s duty would be to vote for his leader not to blindly follow what was elected for him.  As a quote from JFK’s Anogaral address he states, “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.” What an individual can do for their country is to vote it is not only a proud tradition in America it should be a duty, instead of complaining about who was voted take action. However if you vote don’t be blind research into the candidates and what they stand for don’t be ignorant and vote for people based on anything that’s not about their ideas such as color, looks, religion and even party. None of it should worry to a voter, only main ideas and points from the candidate. An example can be found by our past election when Obama was elected President, individuals were screaming for Obama to be president. When asked what he stood for however most people couldn’t answer that they simply voted for him based on his skin color.

An individual should not only vote for people but for bills as well. The constitution states “All men are created equal, with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men.” This being said it is your responsibility to be able to vote for bills to be passed. However some bills and such can’t be voted for so it should be an individual’s responsibility to let his representative know that he wouldn’t like such bills to be passed. Not because an individual doesn’t like what they say but because these bills are to promote life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness to the people. Knowing this, should an individual simply go about blindly without voting? Without having his opinion heard? Well that is a question that neither I nor anyone else can answer; only you as the reader can answer this question.

An individual should have pride for his or her country. How an individual can have pride for their country is as simple as just saying the pledge every morning. In the long run the smallest things matter, having everybody unite and say the pledge is a way of unity among the people. An individual should do things to help their country and have pride doing it. Small things like picking up the trash on the side of the road can help your country. To help Promote ones nation to be clean and united helping with small things such as saying the pledge and picking up trash may seem very small but it can help people stay united and clean. Think about it if everybody said the pledge and picked up trash how much more united and clean our country can be?

The traditions of our nation can only strengthen us as a whole if we as a nation stick to our traditions than our country can be much more united. To not fight with each other but instead fight together against things like disease, greed, and hunger. To not hate things we don’t know but to understand things better and cope with such things. These can be accomplished in the end but it has to start with you, the individual
