If i had to choose between dogs or computers, i would choose computers. The reason is because in today's society everything has to deal with technology. In 2011 at the age of 17, im in the process of applying to colleges, writing college essays, and researching information about financial aid and what colleges has to offer to the class of 2016. In my mind, at this point, technology is KEY. Although computers can come with many technical problems you can always buy a new one, its not the end of the world. Everything you need is in a computer and thats why I would choose computers over dogs.
Robert Pattison will be more impactful, beneficial, and will definetely provide better results for society. Seeing that Mr.Pattison has a career in acting and music it is clear to see that in both fields he has the ability to send a positive message in a piece of his work, if push comes to shove. Unlike Ms.Therapy Pattison has the power of using entertainment to either send a message or just inform people about something that needs to be discussed. He can do so through movies and music. Robert Pattison in this scenario is portryaed to be the hero if you may simply because he has a stronger advantage of changing society rather than Ms.Therapy who tends to ease muscle pains. Both are experienced at what they do however, Pattison is the icing on the cake.
Smartphones, itouches, and videogames their all products of the creation of the computer, now can you imagine your life without them? We have all learned to depend on computers for anything from spell check to having you life business held together by it. The computer has saved anyone that has had the opportunity to use it countless hours throughout their day.
Furthermore, think of the difficulty level you would have to endure just to get by. It would be nearly impossible, no social networks, e-mails, IMs, you would only be able to contact someone by mail or if that person is in walking distance. Also the evolution of modern technology would hit a devastating road block. One example is vital medical research information would be nearly impossible to share with the world to save peoples lives.So essentially your going to slowly kill off the human population by taking away computers.For the benefit of society remaining stable, and tasks that make society run more efficiently I would choice the computer over the dog.
Occurding to the statment i would choose Ms. Therapy over the actor Robert Pattison for the following reasons. Although lindell states good reasons on how an actor can motivate someone to do better i do disagree with his desicion. See Robert can inspire, entertain and maybe teach someone new. But unlike Ms. Therpy who works with people on restoring thier muscles back to normal. When she helps one person she takes away thier suffering and pain. This is a long term effect. Ms. Therapy changes peoples lives in a positive way. Unlike Robert Ms. Therapy has hours of studies and is very well educated. Ms. Therapy is also married and has two kids. She works and keeps her active life style. Robert needs to get his head in the game and learn that certain things dont exist. I also find Ms. Therapy more responsible. when it comes to my physical life in danger i would rather have my life on Ms. Therapy hands then on Robert who is just an entertainer. "According to the 2007 National Health Interview Survey, which included a comprehensive survey of CAM use by Americans, an estimated 18 million U.S. adults and 700,000 children had received massage therapy in the previous year (http://www.medicinenet.com/massage_therapy/article.htm)"
No one likes to have thier body in pain. You cant sleep, you barely eat, you rarely go outside but according to Dr.Gibbons muscle therapy will help your body release its pain so that you feel better. I'd rather feel good with no pain then to be entertained. Therefore These are the reasons why i would choose Ms. Therapy over Robert pattison.
I definitely choose Ms. Therapy. The reason being Ms. Therapy can change the lives of many . She can work the magic that an actor like Robert Pattison cannot accomplish to people. Yes he's a great actor, but that leveled out with a Therapist has a very low vote. Robert Pattison can easily be replaced. Whos going to help fix people after serious injuries, to recover drastically? Not an actor. I learned from experience that a physical therapist can actually make mircales. They helped me recover from a surgrey a lot faster then my doctors predicted. A world with out Ms. Therapy can lead to many unheald muscles causing serious pain too those in need.
If I had to choose between both Robert Pattinson and Ms. Therapy, I would choose Ms. Therapy. The reason is because Robert Pattinson is just an actor whom could be replaced by another actor or just another new person. Although he may have inspired different people he has not changed lives as Ms. Therapy has. She’s made a change in homes with people who have really needed her help. Even though she has other things to attend to that Robert Pattinson doesn’t such as two kids, being a wife and attending to her household.
I agree with cynthias comment about choosing computers over dogs. Dogs are cool to me but there sort of a hassle. they also only serve a good purpose if they are trained.
If I had to choose between Robert Pattison and Ms.Therapy I would choosoe Ms.Therapy for the following reasons. All reasons stated are based on my opinion. Although Robert may keep us laughing and happy, Ms.Therapy can help keep the problems away. If people have less pain and suffering, they will feel more relaxed and stress free. If I get into an accident, that leaves me limited to walking, Ms.Therapy can help me get my life back on track. Unlike Robert, who will just make you laugh. Which doesn't solve my problem. If Ms.Therapy didn't exist and Robert did, when your laugh is over your pain is forever. So for the above reason i would choose Ms.Therapy.
I Greatly apologize that i wasn't able to remain consistent with my post. On the other-hand i agree with, Marvin, immensely. You see as, Lindell, pointed out in his blog, he mentioned how Mr. Pattison can provide entertainment to his fellow listeners. Due to his ability to be a singer and an actor. But, whats the point in being entertained if your sick or in pain. Lets face it entertainment does not cure pain, nor does one enjoy it when suffering daily on an accident. That's when Ms Therapy comes to play. She is a professional at what she do. When patients go to her, they come out feeling happy and relieved. As Marvin pointed out, Millions and thousands of people go to physical therapy to simple feel better. In this society people just want to be in good hands, and be well taken care of. And, i don't think an entertainer can provide that at all. Nevertheless this is why i choose Ms Therapy over Robert.
The person I would choose to keep in my life and on this planet is Ms.Therapy.The reason I say Ms.Therapy is because her remaining in my life is beneficial to me unlike,Robert Pattison.He is nonbeneficial and doesn't support or provide anything important to my life. Mr.Pattison is nothing but an actor/celebrity there is plenty of more people just like him and there names are entertainers. Ms.Therapy on the other hand if I get into an accident that physically harms me she would be there to help me try to gain my strength back and help my body to get back how it once was before the accident. She could also help me become more physically intact then I was before.My decision is Robert Pattison go away and Ms.Therapy must stay.
