1. This last week of the reading from chapter 16 was kind of a interest to me. I am not a fan of death my self and I can relate to a lot out of this chapter. The part of the chapter that interested me the most is "Death Anxiety" for chapter 16.2 page 607. Th reason why I chose this particular topic is because I have gone through many life experiences that had to deal with death. Death to me and maybe to others it's just not a pleasant thing to go through. What I do want to leave with this topic is that they state on page 607 last paragraph first sentence it states " death anxiety may have a beneficial side" first when I seen this sentence I was think to my self like how beneficial can this be and the question to that is that when we are friar of death we seem to want to live longer and you know what that is true. 

2.  Like I said in the beginning I have had many life experience with death and one of them I have such high anxiety because of it. When I was in the military in 2007 I was I deployed to Afghanistan in 08 every one know sometimes people don't come back I knew that from the beginning. What I didn't know was going to hit me really hard, one night I was sleep it was my first week there and I waken up at 2am in the morning I put my uniform on walked out to the road where we all where walking to there was a line of soldiers from deferent parts of the world we all stood there looking around like what is going on and at that time we where told to stand down and salut we saluted to a soldiers who passed and was in a coffin they there was my first experience losing a battle buddy after that day I stood in that street so many more times to salut for other soldiers I can't even count it on my hands. So the chapter talks about death and how it effects and improves our life and I felt like I learned a lot of this chapter it has helped me realize for clearly about death. 


3. What I would like to know more about is more ways to cope with death and maybe a way to help other soldiers like me who are out of service with PTSD to help them cope with the fact the of death and what we can do tot help other around us understand the concept of death with our loved one and even our pets.

1. This weeks reading was very interesting to me, but the topic that stood out the most was "Parkinson's Disease" in chapter 14 page 523. The reason being I took interest in this topic is because I my self have done research on this topic cause I am acutely being tested for this particular disease. 

2. As I said before I am acutely going through the testing right now to see if I have it. The reason being why I am being tested for this is because I just resonantly finished my medical with the army and I was talking about thing that have been bothering me like my hands and my lower arms like my nerves are being pinched it's nots a pleasant feeling at all so my doctor talked me and told me that we should run some test to make sure what is really going on. So from him telling me what I might have, I decided to take some and do some homework on "Parkinson's Disease". When I was reading in the chapter in the that paragraph I didn't know that  Alhamid Ale had that disease, he was an athletic and a great boxer. It's unforchunatley they still don't what the actually is that makes us have Parkinson's disease but they know something ps but they still are not a 100% yet. 


3. What I wound like to know more are is more ways to help to coupe with Parkinson's disease. If I had unlimited funs I would love to find a cure and to find out what really cause people to have these disease even if it's not even genetic related. One of these days we will be able to cure everything in world and when that happens that will be the day.
