Mothers Prefer Work, not Staying at Home

 http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/12/111212124520.htm

Summary- Study's have shown that Mothers prefer work than staying at home. The reason for that is moms tend to be happier and alot healthier than when they are working. Another reason for that is they don't have to deal with their kids screaming and yelling and complaining all the time.
They have reported that mothers that are employed part time or full time have a healthier and better life with less symptoms and depression.

You might think that if they have a job that they wouldn't be that involved with their child's life. Well that is not true they are just involved as any other parents. It just depends on the parent and if they care about their kids that much. But don't just go looking for a job after this, take time and discuss this with your spouse.


Critique-I thought this was a good article because it was true. Its really true what these researchers said.


Impact- Didn't make an impact on me because im not a mother.

Summary- What can protect our kids from drugs now a days. People have been trying to enforce this and it seems like the authorities aren't doing anything.

People all around the world are falling into tempations that drugs are good for you, its not good at all. Drugs are bad so dont do it please.

The reason why Athletes choke under Pressure

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/10/111021151611.htm


Summary- Athletes are good at what they do, but under pressure such as winning or losing a game they can easily choke. The reason why an athlete can choke is because they focus on other things and many things go through their mind. Their attention is distracted. "Paying attention to what you were suppose to be doing and then changing it and focusing and making sure everything is working right can just screw you up" a author said. The best thing to do is to just relax and think about the game. Telling someone under pressure just to relax can just screw someone up.
Under pressure can mess alot of stuff up. You can help by telling them that they were doing amazing and to do the same thing.


Critique- Good article, I needed to hear that because sometimes I get nervous when I'm playing sports.


Impact- I am going to try not to get nervous, this article is a good one. Playing sports is my life.
