Spring of 2011 Part 3






Melanin

I wanted to write about melanin critically for a long time for obvious reasons. Melanin deals with more than pigmentation, but it's a key part to enhance and develop the vitality of organsims. 2012 is coming soon and the chain of mental and spiritual slavery are coming off among peoples worldwide. The truth is coming out. Melanin comes from the Greek word melanos meaning black. Melanin is even found in plants. Studying the value and the blessing of melanin is one of the real strategies to fight against basically white supremacy. Now, it's time to do so. Back years ago, I knew about it in higher level. Melanin is a strong pigment found in animals. They are derivatives of the amino acid tyrosine. The most famous biological melanin is called eumelanin (or a brown-black polymer of dihydroxyindole carboxylic acids and their reduced forms). The creation of a tan naturally is called melanogenesis. The is accelerated by UVB radiation. In warmer climates, people with larger quantieis of euemelanin in their skin protects them from high levels of exposure form the sun. The sun stimulates the skin to produce vitamin D. That is why people in cooler climates recommend folks with darker skin complexions (and even those of southern European descent) to consume between of 1000-2000 IU or international units of vitamin D daily through Autumn to Spring (if you live in cooler environments). Those with low amounts of melaning have to intake dairy products sometimes to gain vitamin D. That is why it's scientifically true that in warmer climate, people with darker skin have more skin protecting eumelanin (which leads into more protection against sunburn and melanoma. Melanoma is a potentially deadly form of skin cancer. John McCain have had it before). Melanin in the eyes, in the iris, and chroid helps to protect human being from ultraviolet and high frequency visible light.

It's common sense that melanin is blessing from the Creator. I appreciate the Lord with giving me an abundance of melanin. This doesn't make me superior to any human being, but this reality makes me equal to any human being period. I have no choice, but to mention 3 words. You know the following 3 words: BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL. My ancestors are made up of Kings, Queens, real leaders, mathematicians, builders, architects, fighters for freedom, althetes, scholars, musicians, etc. So, the blood in my veins have my utmost respect forever. BEING CONFIDENT IN WHAT I AM AND INSPIRING OTHERS TO BE CONFIDENCE IN THEIR NATURAL, GOD-GIVEN CHARACTERISTICS IS GREAT PLUS A JOY WITH ME. In our generation, more folks are having great self-awareness in order help our communities and their own people. We can't really be whole in life if we refuse to go out and make a difference in the world. The people with high amounts of melanin are people of color, especially those of black African descent. Melanin can help slow down the aging process in the skin and it acts as a natural barrier to reduce the risk of skin cancer. Melanin is very important in the human body. Why do you think scientists are finding ways to develop sythetic melanin. Why do you think certain people get tans all of the time trying to look like my skin color? Melanocysts are cells that hold the melanin. In those of black African descene, melanocysts are spread out and are larger in size. Also, melanin can develop even without exposure to the sun. That is why I love the tranquility in my heart to realize the truth spiritually. I love my own black people forever. I do believe in black unity and Black Power indeed. Melanin is found in both the sperm and the egg to supervise the growth of the developing fetus.






Studies in melanin are complex. Some folks talk about the pineal gland and melanin. The pineal gland controls the flow of melatonin. Melatonin decreases as a person ages. In humans, it causes seratonin to flow better in the waking state. Melatonin keeps a person to control their sleeping state as well. Melatonin is a hormone secretion found in the pineal glands of humanity. Sometimes from the Earth is Natural. It's only natural to exist. Melanin can also prevent free radicals from damaging the retina of the human eye. This isn't me writing these words down. This is found from 2 studies from a parntership in the University of Chicago. The findings have been found in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and the other published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. James Norris Jr., Professor in Chemistry and the College, and retina surgeon Kourous Rezaei, Director of the Vitreoretinal Service in Ophthalmology & Visual Science, combined resources to show that melanin, a pigment found throughout the human body, acts like a neutralizing sponge inside cells in the retina to soak up and destroy reactive oxygen species. Reactive oxygen species, or free radicals, which are energized by light, are thought to play a major role in macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in people over the age of 60. "We now have direct evidence that melanin plays an important protective role within the eye," said Norris, a senior author of both papers. "Although melanin contains its own intrinsic free radical, we found that it absorbs a far more damaging form of free radical, converting its destructive energy into harmless heat before it can hurt the retina." Scientists like Rezaei are trying to develop melanin in order to fight against blindness and other eye conditions. Researchers Adelola Adeloye and Dr. Benjamin Felson (their article is found in the American Journal of Roentgenology) found that incidence of roentgenologically visible pineal gland calcification is approximately twice as common in American whites as in blacks, a difference that is very striking after age 40. Comparison of this finding with reports in the literature shows that the incidence of pineal gland calcification is slightly higher in American blacks than in indigenous Africans, probably due to racial mixture among the American blacks that they have studied. This means that white people typically have more of a calcified pineal gland than black people. According to scientific studies, natural human skin color diversity is highest in black or Sub-Saharan African populations. One secret in life is to focus on long term development not some token, short term pleasures. For if you prepare for the future adequately, then you can experience great benefits in your life. One simple example is to save money and build up wealth in a wide spectrum of assets (not liabilities) in order to achieve a higher economic yield. When you think in this fashion, some avenues in life becomes easier to understand. Also, all of us needs self reflection from time to time to improve ourselves without a premadonna attitude about living in the Earth. Simply put, more economic development, social growth, and intellectual developments equals to more wealth and a higher standard of living.





Albinism is a medical condition where there is little to no melanin among a human being. All ethnicities have human beings with albinism including even animals. Certainly, my knowledge about melanin have given me a better spiritual awakening about my own people and my God. I don't believe in having hatred or bigotry against another human if they are of another race or another creed. All human beings fundamentally are created equal and deserve equal treatment, respect, and dignity. In our short lives, we have no choice but to promote the honorable traditions of peace, reconcilliation, and truly battling against any form of injustices plaguing society. I do believe in justice and justice should given period. I also respect people of color and I love being black because black is 100% beautiful.






Sociology


Sociology is a well known study of society. The cousins of sociology are anthropology, political science, and even to a certain extent history. Many of my relatives studied sociology before. It's an interesting topics, because sociology deals with humanity. How humans interact with each other in a social environment is one out of a myriad of ways in deciphering human social activity. People use sociology to promote the development of human social welfare, to have counseling, to stop crime, to have census, to deal with economic development, and tons of other solutions to the ills of the world. That is why tons of people have degrees in sociology being a popular field of study. Socilogy can spread into gender, ethnicity, sexuality, law, the internet, science, social class, and other issues. You can't forget about language in studying sociology, because the use of language deals with the diversity of human culture as well. Sociology definitely studies human social behavior. There are tons of definitions and concepts. There is home modification (this is the adaptation and or renovation of the living environment need to increase ease of use, safety, security, and independence). There is local, state, federal, and volunteer program that provide special grants, loans, and other assistance for home remodeling, repair, and modification. August Comte (1798-1857) was a modern innovator in the study of sociology. Emile Durkheim developed positivism as a way to create social research. Positivism is about using the scientific method to understand how physical and human events happen. Ancient Greece and even the present age have used the positivist approach. Positivism believes that human sense, experience, and positive verification can cause humans to understand real knowledge. Positivists want to test scientific knowledge. Empiricism is easily the theory that only views sensory experience not rationalism that knowledge can be achieved among the human race. Hegel criticized positivism as too mechanical, deterministic, and uncritical. Hegel wanted experiences to be critiqued or evaluated not just documented. Sociology can branch into education, the environment, economics, and other topics. In the 21st century, of course, sociology deals heavily in family, gender, and sexuality.

Political theories have a big deal with sociology. There is political realism. Realism is about wants national interest and security over ideology, moral concerns, and social reconstructions. Realism is the use of power politics in achieving what is needed. Realist thinking is similar to the concepts taht are Niccolo Machiavelli's work "The Prince." Some use realism to promote the state interests over ideologies. George F. Kennan, Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brezinski, and others believed in a form of realism. Behavioralism deals with using the scientific method to handle human behavior. Constructivism is interesting. Constructivism believes that anarchy is made up of states, but people can use politicies to change the anarchic nature of the system of states. In learning, constructivism is about the theory that humans can generate knowledge and meaning from an interaction between their experiences and their ideas (in education, Seymour Paper, Jean Paiget, and others have believed in constructivism in terms of dealing with education). In education, there are plenty of theories in dealing with education. There is behaviorism and cognitivism. Behaviorism (or the view that the learning of child can influence its behavior. The environment can shape behavior, and reinforcement can increase the likehood that an evernt will be repeated. Classical conditioning and operant conditioning is done to promote conditioning in human beings or animals) was developed mainly by B. F. Skinner. It has been promoted by people like Edward Thorndike, Tolman, Guthrie, and Hull. The behavior sciences deal with many topics too. The fields involve psychology, social neuroscience, and other traditions.
