Technology

Technology
Technology has good points and bad points. It can affect people in good ways and bad ways. Every person has used tecnology and it may have affected there lives in some way. (large or small ways) Using technology changes the way nature is. Which might not necessarily be a bad thing, but not a good thing either.
I'm going to guess that the majority of the people use cell phones. Those people who use the cell-phones could have added stress to themselves because it can bring their work into their personal lives. Cell-phones can take time away from your personal life and cause you to spend more time using it for work and added stress. Cell-phones can be a good thing because you can take less time to talk to someone or send someone something quicker.
Technology can affect some people in good ways while it affects others in bad ways. One example is one that was mentioned from a previous assignment. It talked about a chemical that was used to get rid of insects, but was unhealthy for the enviorment. When it was gotten rid of it was a good thing for one country because it helped with the enviorment, but bad for another country because when they got rid of the insect chemicals they had mosquitoes, disease, and death.
Technology can be a good thing. Technology can be a bad thing.

muscular dystrophy

Muscular Dystrophy
Muscular dystrophy causes the breaking down of muscle fibers which causes the muscles to be weak. Muscular Dystrophy also affects skeletal muscles. This disease could be found while at young ages or in the middle ages. This disease is more common in boys than girls. There are nine types of muscular dystrophy.
Science and Muscular Dystrophy
Many of the types of muscular dystrophy are formed because of mutations found in the genes. Muscular dystrophy is inherited at birth and only four of the types of genetic diseases have found the gene responsible for this disease. Treatments for muscular dystrophy are mainly targeted at lessing weakness, increasing mobilitity, and curing heart defects. So far there aren't any cures or drugs that have been effective. There is no way to prevent Muscular Dystrophy, but having a good nutrition doesn't hurt.
Language Arts and Muscular Dystrophy
Muscular Dystrophy has one meaning and is a noun and doesn't have any synonyms.
Math and muscular dystrophy
Mental retardation may affect some people with muscular dystrophy so in the end it could affect how some people learn math. Like other cases with mental retardation it requires a special and effective way of learning not only math but other subjects as well.
Reading and Muscular Dystrophy
The pre-fix in Dystrophy is Dystr meaning Pain.
