Since 5000 B.C. There has been smoking. On nearly every continent there was a plant, it was burned and inhaled. An though travel was limited and distance great, smoking took on similar forms in each culture. Incense, hookah, peace pipes were all important elements in a communal culture; something to do while sitting around and talking. While smoking back then consisted of getting high on extreme doses of tobacco or opium after 7000 years the rituals still continue, to some extent.
Your Body, Your Choice. By David Martinez
After centuries of scientific struggle the world of medicine has change our lives. There are drugs, vaccines, cures and fixes that can extend peoples lives well into their 90's.
There are however draw backs to all this medical advancement. One are the pills-- there are pills for pretty much everything with side effects that range from fever to death. And there are plenty of desperate people willing to take them for their quick fix.
Generations By David Martinez
The two factors that determine what generation a person is born into are birthrate and economy. As the birthrate increases, the population becomes dense, creating a situation where certain ideals and thoughts can become a norm and are easily communicated amongst that generation. The state of the economy plays a similar role by dictating the intensity of concerns and social climate.
Most generations are split in half, depending on how long a particular generation has existed. The first half of each generation (we’ll call them the first set) begins with a specific collection of ideals that unify them. The second half (usually the children of the first half, we’ll call them the second set) of said generation extrapolates these ideals and makes them their own. One might say that they take the lessons they have learned from their parents and created a less pure form of these ideals.
