Do you like art? If so, what kind of art? If we think about it, we all like art in some shape or form. For some, art is a beautiful oil painting on canvas. To another, art is expressed through dance, while to another, it is expressed through one's fingers as one molds and shapes new objects made with clay. Did you know that written text can also be art? I would like all of you to be artists with the freedom to express yourselves in any way that you would like.
Every Monday morning, I will post a topic on my blog, which you are reading these instructions from. Once you have read my topic, you will need to leave a comment on my page. However, this "comment" should be more than one sentence. It should be your response to the question I am posting on my blog. I would really like to encourage you all to try to write as much as you can. Although I would like for you to write as much as you can, please do not spend more than 30 minutes writing them. If you read a comment from your classmates that you find to be interesting, feel free to comment to them as well! Lets try to make this as interactive via the Internet as possible. Your responses and comments will need to be completed by 8:00 p.m. every Friday. There will be no exception! Therefore, plan on completing this assignment before the Friday deadline in order to ensure that you receive full credit, which will be 10 points for each week.
On a final note, these blogs are intended to be fun and to allow you to further practice writing in English in a variety of avenues. Be adventurous and express yourselves! Although I am primarily looking a lot at the content, I will also be looking upon your grammar as well. Aim for grammatical accuracy. Nonetheless, have fun, and do not forget, all of you are artists!!

Topic 4: An UNinvention
If you could UNinvent something, what would it be and why? How do you think this would affect our world today?
If i could uninvent something, it would be plastic bags. Because i do not think they are a good thing. Maybe they have some advantages, like helping people to hold things......But they also have a lot of disadvantages. First, plastic bags are very easy to be thrown out. So many times, we can find plastic bags anywhere when we walk on the street. It is not a beautiful view. Second, plastic bags are not easy to be resolved. So they will become a big problem after they are used. They will affect our environment. They will be a dangerous for animals and farmers. Totally, it has a lot of disadvantages. So if i could uninvent something, it would be plastic bags.
Wow, that is very interesting. However, you have made a very good point. Perhaps that is why more and more stores are asking that people bring their own shopping bags?
If I wish were I not invent sports. I am type of person who dislike sports. Olympic is one of the worst invent in the World. I don’t play any sports, but I like swimming. It is strange, isn’t it?. Some hwo, I like to swim in the sea, river, or pool. When I was child, I didn’t play sports with my peers. They asked me form many times to play score with them; however, the answer usually no. I think sports is for men. Also, some sports have stupid ideas like score. All the players run after a ball and maybe they fight because of the ball. There is no idea for running after ball. Also, American football game, what the idea or what the goal of this game? If you say physical activate, there are tons of physical activates instead of sports. Like dance, exercise which can turn your body to healthy body. Walking is very beneficial for your health and increase the secretion of Happiness hormone. Also, sports are not developing the country economic, industrial, or security. In fact some sports create turbulence.
If I could uninvent something, it will be cigarette. On the one hand, the cigarette is bad for our health. Well-know, the cigarette have a highly addictive drug, and some chemical medicine that injure our body. Although you did not smoking, it is same as you smoke if some smoker is smoking near you. On the other hand, the cigarette cost us a lot of money. We know people who are smoker are addicted to smoke, so they should spend much money to buy cigarettes.
If you could uninvent something, it would be facebook. I use facebook before but i deleted it. Why people have to know what others doing, you are not a paparazzi why do you do that. Keep wasting time, a lot of time for that stupid facebook. Try to do something more happy and meaningful for ourselves.
It is sure that there are many great inventions which changed the history of the world, but I think it would be better if some inventions weren’t invented. One of these inventions is the steel. The steel is very useful in our life, but we also use that to make weapons. Historically, there were a lot of wars even if the steel was not invented. However, the damage of wars has been extensive since high tech weapons using the steel are invented. On the other hand, our life would be inconvenient if the steel were not invented. We can see many items which were made using the steel, such as household items, cars, airplanes, and so on. We need to realize that these are different sides of the same coin. Anyway, it seems that the history has developed rapidly with the great inventions.
If I could UNinvent something, it would be nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons can make our life dangerous in tomorrow world. When we think single-minded about just nuclear, admittedly, Nuclear energy has its advantages and disadvantages. It is true that nuclear research has benefited mankind in many ways. For example it doesn’t take a genius to know that nuclear energy is used to produce electricity. However, as nuclear was developed to weapons, humanity was threatened by nuclear war. Threat of Nuclear Weapons can destroy the world. For example, many countries want to get power by nuclear weapons to use their power in diversity aspect, such as economic, defense, safety of people and agreement. This competition about ambition with nuclear, it would lead confusion in a confused and divided world. Some counties have no intention of renouncing nuclear weapons. The world is focusing on reducing nuclear weapons now. If we don't tighten regulation on Nuclear weapons, it may lead to the fall of the human race.
If I would uninvent something, it is going to be the fasting cars. I want to uninvent them because they killed many people by accident. My uncles died in the accident by the gay who was fasting so fast which led him to hit them. I believe the world is going to be safety if there are no fasting cars. Also, I believe we don't need fasting cars.
If I could uninvent something, I would uninvent biological, chemical, and nuclear mass destruction weapons. These types of weapons are very dangerous. We have had many terrible incidents caused by these weapons; such as, the Hiroshima and Nagasaki incident, the Chernobyl plant explosion, the chemical bombing on the Kurdistan people in Iraq, and now the chemical weapons used in Syria by the regime on the people. I fear the uses of these weapons would one day destroy every living thing on this planet, including mankind. These weapons have a great impact on polluting our environment. If they were uninvented the world would be more safer, free of pollution, and no massacres would happen using these weapons. I think in our world today, the most scary thing is the competition in the development of these types of weapons.
If I could uninvent something, it would be GMO. GMO is Genetically Modified Foods, an estimated 75% of all foods purchased in America contain at least some genetically modified ingredients. Nowadays, we know many causes of diseases are related to these kinds of foods. By eating these foods people gain a lot of calories and carbohydrates and become fat. Most of the reasons of blood pressure and diabetes are related to these foods. What we do know is that cancer and other disease rates have increased exponentially since the introduction of GMO foods into our diet. In my opinion, if countries ban GMO products, many diseases will be decrease.
If I had the chance to uninvent something, it would be video games. From my perspective, they're one of the big purposes of obesity. Seems they can't live without them these days. Who are they? The people who are between 10 to 16 years old. They play video games at home every time. Also, they play them while they're eating their food, and by the time they fat!! Surely, instead of these things we can let them go outside and kicking a ball would be much better for them..
If I could uninvent something, it would be fast food. There is no denying that fast food brings us a lot of convenience. When we do not have enough time to prepare our food, the fast food is a good choice. It is easy for you to buy fast food because there are a lot of fast food restaurants around you. However, in my opinion, eating fast food is not a good choice, there are so many disadvantages. First of all, eating fast food is not a good way to keep you health because the good taste needs a lot of oil and salt. Furthermore, if you want to keep your figure, do not choose the fast food. Besides that, it is hard to find the fun of cooking if you always eat fast food. When you choose to cook at home, you can prepare food with you family, and it is a good time to communicate with each other. Actually, I do not like fast food, and I do not want this kind of food reduce the fun of life.
If I could univented, it would be cigarette because cigarette has more disadvantages than its advantages. Cigarette smokers will get long term health effect which is lung cancer. The scientists proved that lung cancer causes by smoking, and smoking also causes other health problems such as heart disease. The body needs more oxygen because of the contaminated carbon monoxide intake. It pushes high heart rate and high blood pressure; consequently, smokers could get heart attack disease. Moreover, the reports said that smoking completely effects nonsmokers, called secondhand smoke even though they do not smoke, and these secondhand smoke has a twofold harmful disease worse than smokers. Therefore, we should stay away from smokers in order for having healthy life, for you to live with your fiancée longer life.
cigarettes, because it harms a lot of people including myself since i am a smoker. I even harm the people around me when i smoke. i want to quit smoking but its easier said than done. If cigarettes were uninvented i think that the world would be a cleaner place
When I read the question I think about the game on the cellphone. It is really bad thing for many people in the word especially the children. The effect of that game is on their health. For example, many children were exposed to low vision by focusing for a long time in the game. Also, the do not care about food because they spend most the time play.
