Although some risk factors for cancer are beyond a person’s control, there are a great many factors that a person does have some control over. People make choices every day about what to eat and drink and whether to exercise or “veg out” in front of a computer screen. So why don’t people do more to prevent cancer? What do you think?

Why don’t more people take better care of their health? Do they not know what to do? Do they know and not care? What would persuade more people to take steps to prevent cancer? How could cancer-prevention education be improved?

Take a few minutes to think about the lifestyle choices that you and the people you know make every day and how those choices relate to minimizing cancer risk. Then go to the next discussion assignment in this course and post your answer to the questions above. Be sure to provide reasons and examples to support your answer.

All my life, i had been afraid of a book. an important book, in the bible. it's called revelation. often times i've avoided it because i felt that it was scary and i couldn't understand, i thought wow, this basically tells the scary part of the future, but today i realized that it's about what's happening now, right now. in the beginning of the book, it talks about the churches, how some churches have false teachers, or some need to repent, and i realized that this book portrays to the churches nowadays also. i know jesus is coming one day, and i know that he is light, he will prevail over the darkness and he can show you the way. all you have to do is trust and believe in him, and he will guide you the right way. i love god with all my heart, and i believe that whoever is reading this you should too! i'm sorry that i put this on it's not a question, and it's only a matter of minutes before this gets reported but, i wanted people to know, revelation isn't scary, in fact it's amazing! you for your time. i hope you accept jesus christ into your life!
