Government shutdown blog post 4

The government shut down is like a big argument being settled by just shutting everything down to me. Yes I think it is helpful, instead of just arguing the whole time and not coming up with a conclusion or an answer it is healthy for our government to just shut down for a few days.

We have had a lot of government shutdowns in the last few months but I do think it is for the better, they haven't been for long but it has resulted in good results.  Most of the reason we have been having government shutdowns are because the people in the White House can't come up with a resolution or solve the problem without an argument or simple agreement on an answer. 

I honestly believe that if we can get them to start agreeing on resolving things easier than they have been without arguments and not agreeing on an answer then we will not have as many government shutdowns. The shutdowns are for the better I think, but I may be wrong. All in all if we can start agreeing on answers then we won't have government shutdowns.

What is Crohn´s Disease

Crohn´s Disease is A chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects the lining of the digestive tract.
It causes inflammation of your digestive tract, which can lead to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition. Almost three weeks ago I was diagnosed with Crohns, there is many symptoms believe me but there are ways to make those symptoms not flame up,
click to get the inside details on Crohns disease.

¨Scientists believe that Crohn's disease is caused by a combination of these factors:
  • Immune system problems
  • Genetics
Environmental factors¨  yes there is more causes, click here to see them all  however the scientist over this disease believe the three biggest causes of crohns are the three above. Yes I would have to agree because my mother has something very similar and I have immune system problems as well. I havent studied all that much on the disease but I can assure that it is not something you want to go through. 

I have many symptoms I do not like but however I handle them, I can control them by watching what I eat. If I eat something bad and my symptoms flame up them I am in pain for about 4-6 days. According the the web page above ¨Lots of people have stomach cramps with diarrhea or constipation. It’s uncomfortable, but you usually get over it and forget about it.¨  I do agree with them because I have went through some of these symptoms and my doctor has said the same thing to me.

Overall, Crohns is not something to mess with, it can lead to colon cancer or to the point where you carry a bag around on your hip. It can be a severe disease if you dont follow the doctors instructions and stay away from the foods that will flame the symptoms up. It is easy to handle if you do what is told and dont eat the foods your supposed to keep away from.

Fake news:Not new

Fake news is like 3 elementary girls, it just causes drama. Fake news is not new i don´t think. I think fake news has been around for longer than we think. i think fake news probably runs back in history before there was phones and social media but now we see it more because of social media.

"Misinformation, spin, lies and deceit have of course been around forever. But what Silverman and others uncovered was a unique marriage between social media algorithms, advertising systems, people prepared to make stuff up to earn some easy cash and an election that gripped a nation and much of the world."   Evidence even shows that fake news has been around for a tremendous amount of time. this is coming from http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-42724320 they have done research on fake news and if it is new or non new, they do however say its new in form. in which they mean social media. 

I do think social media has a big part of fake news, espesially twitter and facebook, literally every other post or tweet is fake news or close to it.  "Fake news was one of the most hotly-debated topics in 2016 and 2017. Websites which deliberately published hoaxes and misleading information popped up across the internet and were often shared on social media to increase their reach. As a result, people in the United States became wary of the information that they read online, with over a quarter stating that they rarely trusted the news that they read on social media."   according to https://www.statista.com/topics/3251/fake-news/ i am right on the social media part of this discussion. 

To conclude, i very well do believe that fake news is not new, however it is newer now than it has been because you can use social media and so many other things for fake news now. I honestly believe fake news runs a long ways back in  history.
