Someone me understand this a lot more, the whole idea of subliminal messages has received a lot of interest and curiosity. even though these messages are below our absolute threshold some people believe that they are picked up by our senses. some people believe that these messages are real and do affect behavior. others do not believe that we can pick them up with our senses and even if we could they would not have any effect on us. go out to the web and research subliminal messages. take a position on where you stand about the subliminal messages and their effect on behavior. write a 150 to 200-word essay with support from your research.

I have seen several different accounts on what subliminal messages can do. There are those who say they are powerful and can be used to a varied scope of purposes such as weight loss and language learning. There are, on the other hand, those who claim it is all just a myth. Still, after some reading here, some watching there, I have come to the conclusion that they may indeed work. The question may be what we understand as subliminal message.

To me, it is not the message of which we are completely unaware - like adding some background noises to a song that are actually words stating something. I'd rather stick to another definition. Subliminal message is what our unconscious mind uses when making decisions. We receive such messages when we are very much awake and technically aware of what is going on. But then we let go of whatever it is that we absorbed and our consciousness moves on to what is right in front of us. However, when the time comes to make a decision, no matter how small, it is our unconscious mind that takes the lead. We think we know why we chose that path, that person, that product, that risk - we rationalize explanations and justifications. But, truth be told, we chose them with that obscure part of our minds that controls our behavior for us.

In a study published in Neuroscience of Consciousness, researchers found that subliminal messages do have an impact in delayed decision-making. Even after an hour, the subjects' conscious decisions about their income was affected by subliminal messages presented to them. Imagine how much of our decisions in life is controlled by things we don't even know, that our brain threw at the hands of our unconscious mind? I believe we can use that to our favor, reprogram our brains and behavioral patterns. We can choose better paths with better messages.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

answer: b (host)

viruses use the cells of living organisms to reproduce. the cell which is used by virus is called as "host cell". it is a living cell in which virus multiplies, example bacteria, plant or an animal cell.

in this, the virus is a parasite, which uses host cell for its benefit (reproduction) by using the cell machinary of host cell.
