Journey of the Universe Chapter 11- Emerging Earth Community
                              Our path is uncertain because humans have a sense of larger purpose and our destiny is clouded. As people on earth we are always searching for some kind of ongoing guidance in our lives. Wonder is not only an emotion it also is a huge opening into the main heart of our universe and its surroundings. The oceans too guide us on our journey involving the past the present and future it helps us discover ourselves as people and can dissolve things into itself. Our human destiny is to  become the heart of the universe, and to embrace the whole of the Earth's community. Life is an adventure and this means both chaos and control. The nature of the universe is to keep moving forward, and our vibrant communities constitute the universe and creates a more diverse world.
Journey of the Universe Chapter 10- Rethinking Matter and Time
                                From the beginning of modern science as humans we tried to comprehend and discover knowledge to make a better universe. There is a simple way to understand the creative self-organizing dynamism of matter. It is to take the perspective of the universe and the earths evolution over time. We must commit ourselves to the control of the natural world and  try our best to help the Earth's ecosystem. There are traditional and organic senses of time it ties to the cycles of nature this was broken in the beginning of our modern era. Our systems of housing, transportation agriculture, and commerce are intertwined and help us to preserve organic life and the enveloping ecosystems. Earth itself begins with adventure within the conscious self-awareness and this helps us to be better people and create a better world. 
Journey of the Universe Chapter 9- Becoming a Planetary Presence
                             Every place we travel in this universe we become and it is our home we make it a special place this is because of our symbolic consciousness. The human species tries to match other species with themselves and be comfortable. The legal and ethical codes were created to stop chaos and try to maintain peace. These codes are the patterns we use to organize and perfect our society and civilization. One of the most fascinating patterns of our conscious is being able to transform our ideas into symbolic knowledge into machines. Modern humans have many valuable resources and are controlled by technology and dreams of progress. Humans hope wish and believe we are creating a prosperous world but the very thing that helps us can also lead to our destruction.
Journey of the Universe Chapter 8- The Origin of the Human
                          This chapter revolves around human beings and what created us and how we came to be on this earth.  It shows evidence through fossils and genetic about the human species and we can follow this all the way to the beginning of time. Human flexibility gives scientist biological evidence to tell the story of what our species has done and discovered. Contemporary biologist give examples ideas and stories of what our species did before they found true civilization. Human behavioral freedom and curiosity give us a good conscious. The greatest invention humans created is the symbolic language that helps us share our thoughts and ideas. Our culture and DNA shape who we are as humans and how we act towards one another. Our consciousness is what has helped us survive and progress throughout the years and it will continue to help us succeed in the present and future.
Reflection on video of Pope Francis at Congress-Ex Credit
        I watched the video of Pope Francis at congress trying to urge the US to embrace immigrants and become impassioned. It gave me a huge insight of the reality of where America is as a country and how we image ourselves. I completely agree with Pope Francis we must be open and diverse and embrace every person. We should treat others the way we want to be treated and give them the upmost respect. As well as appreciate and learn from our differences and become one with each other so we can truly gain peace. Pope Francis also explained that we need to love one another and support each other as well as try not make things a competition i found this to be a great point. I learned from this video to embrace life and make the best of it, to get along with anyone i meet and completely accept the way they are and their background. Overall to sum it up I agree with all of Pope Francis's ideas, and suggestions, and I believe our country should listen and work on these ideas together to make a greater and better United States of America!
Journey of our Universe Chapter 7- The Passion of Animals
                         Passion is our urge to merge, it makes our souls more intimate, and gives us passions which help determine our lives. All animals live within their passions and everyday put them to good use.  The animals also hold a big part in our universe and we must appreciate the different aspects of each animal. The world is filled with tons of decisions that we must make everyday and everyone wants to be special in their own way no one should be rejected. Parental care is when parents worry about their offspring and their well-being the parents only want the best for them. The difference between animals and humans in one way is remembering and spreading compassion as well as involving history within our lives.
Journey of our Universe Chapter 6- Living and Dying
                             Life's complexity deepening is possible because life is able to adapt to many different conditions. The sequence of nucleotides and genes hold the patterns of our life as human beings.  The grains we eat transform to proteins, this process is scientifically known as the Cytochrome. The energy of our lives comes from the original flaring forth of the universe and our atoms can be the stars.  We can appreciate the changing of the universe by realizing our sensing process helps the universe too.  Emergence of various senses asks us to touch, see,  and taste the things around us. There is a possibility that our smaller self dies into the larger self of the universe and all of our passions, dreams, anguish, and loss helps create and make the universe.
Journey of the Universe Chapter 5- Life Emergence
                                  Nature is a big part of how we are can live on earth and the cells in nature help us to be nourished. Cells began very small and then gained a nuclei this helped nature with algae in the oceans and lizards in streams. We find that the planet is very remarkable and we need to respect it as well as ourselves. There are many theories on how the earth gained life some say it began with bacteria but no one can truly have a right answer. There are also many complex swirls of energy that we have to explain physical laws. Photosynthesis is also a big part of the world and nature it helps engineer nature to provide us with necessities of life. Cells help us adapt and become one with the atmosphere. Overall it is a dynamic reorganization that helps us adapt to the nature and the world itself.
Journey of the Universe Chapter 4- Birth of the Solar System
                                This chapter emphasizes how the solar system came to be through many supernova explosions. It teaches us how the elements effected the way the solar system was created and changed throughout the years. The solar system is a very important because it is meant to be a beautiful miracle and helped us advance scientifically. The universe has a self-assembling power that helps us to live here on earth. There are of course many different creation stories and myths that the people before us had about the solar system, they believed the planets were persons and the stars were the kin and the sun was a god. Of course once we became more knowledgeable of the planets we learned their true purpose in the solar system. We also learn about geology and plate tectonics which was equivalent to Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. The moon is the mystery of the night and attracts energy. Lastly after many years of the solar system being the around and it controlling temperature it is barley beginning to stabilize and fully protect us from harm.

Journey of the Universe Chapter 3 - The Emanating Brilliance of Stars
                        The stars fascinate us in every way because the are giant balls of gas, but from so far away they are beautiful and gives hopes and dreams for the best tomorrow. Their radiance comes from a unique force of gravity that attracts the stars and its mass. The stars do not only shine but resonate this means they produce light and have a big job. Some people believed that our bodies were formed by the same elements in the stars. We find the exploding star to be one of the most creative in history and the way the energy is disbursed is a breathtaking experience. The supernova is an amazing design of the destruction and creation of the earth. Life is not possible without stars and their vast mysterious transformations that help give us the elements we need to survive.
Journey of the Universe Chapter 2 - Galaxies Forming
                          As the title would suggest this chapter is about galaxies within the universe and learning their origin and vastness. It is said that these galaxies have an effect on our climate and natural beauty in the earth. They also mention "the music of the Spheres" with deals with the galaxies sounds and vibrations. There is always a deep longing in humans to know the heart of the universe and how it truly works. Later we discovered that there is not just one center but millions and that it has many aspects. We live in the center of creativity it is our universe and we should appreciate and take care of it. A galaxy that is a direct satellite to the Milky Way is LCM or the Large Magellanic Cloud this began the process of creating stars in the sky. 
Journey of the Universe Chapter 1- Beginning of the Universe
            In this chapter we learn about the beauty of the earth and all the nature and amazing aspects and phenomena it has to offer. It also talks about our advanced scientific generation and how vast it seems to be. It also talks about the constellations and galaxy as well as the form of human beings on earth.  As human beings it digs a little deeper into our culture and values that are passed down based on our backgrounds. Everyone has a different idea and image in how they believe the world was created and almost every person will answer that question differently. It also speaks of the mathematical and scientific forms of the world and different theories. Overall it talks about our journey through the ages and our advancements and a species.

Food Justice is having a choice to eat anything you want for example you may choose to either eat healthy or eat junk food. It is simply having the necessary products to choose and make your own food.  Justice, therefore, means the right to pick the ingredients that goes into your food and creating whatever food you please. The people in the poorer or third world countries are sometimes deprived of this human right. Many times they are left in the street to starve and they are the main people that food justice is necessary for, though food justice belongs to all people. Overall food justice means everyone in the world should have the equal chance and opportunity to eat a good meal everyday at any point of time in their lives.
