[ What Was Your Favorite Subject In School? ]
[ In Junior High School, You Can Remember (2) Subjects That Really Stood Out For You, Your Typing Classes & Your Health Class ]
[ Not Alot Of Guys Were Learning How To Type @ (13-14yrs) Old In The Mid 1970’s. Primarily Girls. It Definitely Paid Off Once You Were Old Enough To Go Off To College. Before You Went, You Asked For An Electric Typewriter For Your Birthday. Not Too Many College Students In 1982 Had One. Word Got Out In The Dorm That You Had Your Own Typewriter. So You Earned A Couple Of $’s Typing Other Students Papers For Them. The Typing Skills Also Made You Better Qualified For Some Jobs ]
[ The Health Class Was Your 1st Exposure To The Bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzenegger, & The Whole Idea Of Perfect Symmetry Of A Bodybuilder. That Changed Your View & Purpose Of Your Lifting Weights ]
[ There Were No Favorite Subjects All Through Your High School Years ]
[ Your Favorite Subjects All Through Your (2) Different Stints In College Were Philosophy, Psychology & Criminology ]
[ You Liked Your 1st Philosophy Class Because The Papers You Needed To Write Made You Think Outside The Box. The Professor Gave Us All One Tip That You Still Remember To This Day. He Always Wanted You To Put Alot Of Thought Into Your Papers & That “You Can’t Flunk Your Own Opinion” ]
[ You Loved All Of Your Psychology Classes. There Were A Couple Of Class Subjects, That Stood Out. Human Development Was One. It Was Very Fascinating To Learn That No Matter Where You Were Born In The World, People Will Go Through The Same Stages Of Development As They Age. In That Same Area You Liked Researching F.A.S. When Women Would Drink, Smoke Or Do Illicit Drugs During Their Pregnancies, It Would Cause Catastrophic & Irreversible Effects On The Fetus. With What You Researched, It Showed That These Were Very Self-Centered Actions That Would Totally Change The Future Of That Baby. The Research & Studies That You Found Were Very Sad. Another Subject That You Researched That Fascinated You Was “The Use Of Eugenics In America & The World.” “Eugenics Was The Pseudoscientific Practice Of Improving A Human Population Through Selective Breeding, Aiming To Enhance Desirable Traits And Eliminating Undesirable Ones.” This Practice Was Used By Adolph Hitler In Germany. So If A Baby Was Born With What They Labeled As A Defect, When The Person Came To A Certain Age, The Doctors Used Forced Sterilization On The Individual. Hitler Went A Step Too Far With The Jewish Community, Because He Wanted & Tried To Erace A Whole Group Of People Whom He Felt Were Far Inferior People. Now If You Think That Was A Horrible Thing For Hitler To Do, The U.S. Still Used This Practice Of Birth Control Clear Into The 1970’s ]
