I think that antibiotics should not be restricted since they are very important to us. Antibiotics are very useful in many ways. First of all, antibiotics are also known as antibacterials, and they are drugs used to treat infections caused by bacteria. They cure disease by killing or injuring bacteria. The first antibiotic was penicillin, discovered accidentally from a mold culture. Today, over 100 different antibiotics are available to doctors to cure minor discomforts as well as life-threatening infections.This is one big reason why antibiotics shouldn't be restricted since they are used to cure many life-threatening infections. Another reason that we shouldn't restrict antibiotics is that they are required for our food supplies since our food supply depends on the use of antibiotics on agriculture. Without antibiotics, our huge population would have a problem with the food supply.But antibiotics also does bad things to us too. Overusing them had caused many bacteria to developed resistance to antibiotics, for example tuberculosis. In the future, antibiotics can't be used to repel these bacteria. Also, overusing them causes many bacteria to die out where these bacteria could be very important to us. This is because some bacteria in our bodies helps us prevent other bacteria that's bad to our body.
Even though we know that consuming too much antibiotics will harm us, we just need to consume them not too overloading. It is something that is used as medicine today so they are pretty important to us when an infection comes. These antibiotics will eventually saves our life. They even help us to kill off bacteria in our food supplies so that we won't get infected and get sick. So this is why I think that antibiotics should not be restricted. Antibiotics prevent us all many kind of sickness and illness.

My Favorite Specie!
My favorite kingdom is the Animalia Kingdom, since it is the kingdom that we, humans are included in this kingdom. My favorite specie from this kingdom is the Canis familiaris, or the Chihuahua. It is the smallest breed of dog and is name for the state of Chihuahua in Mexico. Chihuahuas come in a wide variety of sizes, head shapes and colors and coat lengths. Their life span is about 14 to 18 years. Their average height has the range of 6 to 10 inches and some even grew to about 12 to 15 inches. Dogs share 98% to 99% of their DNA with wolves. If we considered Chihuahua is a subspecies of wolves, the scientific name would be Canis lupus familiaris. Canis familiaris is my favorite specie since I love dogs and I love my two Chihuahua dogs at my house the most, so this is why I chose this as my favorite specie.

My Favorite Science Quote
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein
I have chosen this quote since first of all, it was written by Albert Einstein, who is one of the greatest scientist of all time. Another reason I have chosen this quote was that the quote looks really interesting and really looks ahead in the future. It makes me wonder how the world would look like in the future, how humanity would vanished, and what kind of creatures there will be after humans disappear. The meaning of this quote to me is that the world could keep on discover new things and also develop things since Einstein stated that he does not know the weapons that will be used in World War III. Humans could just keep on developing and also evolves, so nobody would know the about the weapons that might be use in World War III. This quote also means that as humans keep developing and evolving, there will be an end to humanity just like dinosaurs. It will be just like starting all over again, so that's why Einstein stated that World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. This quote is related to science since it shows that people will keep on evolving and discover more about the world. The world in the future will have better technology than it is today. Even though there might and not might be a chance of World War III happening soon but it might happen later in the future ahead of us. That war would might also happens the destroy humanity and wipe out the whole world. So after World War III, there might be new creatures instead of us that dominates the world, so their first world war or our fourth world war would only be using sticks and stones. | ||
