The article and video revolves around Chinese people working twelve hours a night, and seven nights a week in a small computer room where there are over 80 employees, trying their luck at playing online video adventure games in which they earn points for killing creatures. They make 10 Yuan or $1.25 American Dollars when they collect 100 coins. They turn in all of these coins to the supervisor who sells those coins to online retailers living in western nations like United States and other European countries around the world. After that, the service owner hand over your account name, password and about $30 to Chinese player/labors. Therefore,this online game is like a online business through which Chinese players makes money. According to Teitou, Owner of the game workshop, War craft is like a service industry. He realized that exporting virtual items through the internet is the same thing as Chinese labor to America. In conclusion this is a gaming business all over china where there are many workshops such as what Teitou owns. Its a business that earns over $80,000 a year. So this is not just a game but a productive business that develops the Chinese nation overall.

This article is catchy because most of my peers are not virgin even though they are my age.
Teens who lose their virginity earlier than their peers are more likely to steal, destroy property, shoplift or sell drugs than their virgin counterparts, according to one of the first studies to look at what happens in the lives of teens in the years after they start having sex.
The study of this article, reported  that those who had sex early were 26% more likely to get in trouble than those who waited, even years after their sexual debut and well into early adulthood

This article is interesting because it is informative. Hookah use was more common among kids with higher weekly incomes and those who smoked cigarettes, drank alcohol or used other illicit substances. It originated from middle east but now its famous even in western countries!

Human metrics Jung Typology Test is very useful because I do agree with the result. I agree because its true that I'm an extrovert. I love to socialize, make new friends, party etc. Also, when there's a problem I try to make predictions than looking at facts to solve the conflict which does make me more intuitive. I'm a very sensitive person so I do make choices based on emotion, more like heart over head. I'm very diverse, adaptive to new things easily which makes me less judgmental. I'm satisfied with my personality type done by MBTI.
