INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Study

Aquatic Humanoids or what they call Mermaids are not real. Mermaids has been the center of attention when the hoax documents and evidences saw in the internet . Many people tried to believe that mermaids really exist but in the end they found that it is only a fake document.

Back then when technology was not fully discovered yet, people then were easily to believe on things even if they don't see it yet. Some people used other people,who believe that mermaids really exist, to have some money on their own. If you look on the possibilities why mermaids are not real it is just because we don't have enough modern technology equipment. Trying to ask people about the existence of mermaids and post it on the facebook, twitter, instagram or any other social media sites they will comment that they don't really exist based on scientific evidences that many professional scientists research and studied. In the article entitled "Five reasons mermaids are impossible" by Emily Willingham. This article states that even the description of mermaids physical feature is not the only one that is really hard to believe this will tell you that simple reasons can have a deeper explanation like this article.

According to Emily Willingham "Sure, it’d be interesting. But the world’s packed with enough remarkable, impossible-seeming real species, many of them in the sea, that we don’t really need to invent half-anythings to keep our attention." (http://www.doublexscience.org/five-reasons-mermaids-are-impossible/).

One of the reasons why mermaids cannot be real has been differ from many ways. First she said that nature itself doesn't cut two completely and very distantly species in half and fuse together the parts. Humans and fishes don't even have the same organs and parts in the way that humans hips meet a fish tail. Parking a human colon on top of a fish bladder, swim bladder and stomach. And do you think how will they fit together how will it function well. By the way the second is, if nature change tail from humans torso maybe because of parthogens or mitotically producing mermaids together of a fish and a human. Thirdly, your skin and their skin are the same that is pretty much nonstop 24-7 immersed from saltwater for a quarter of our makes you think that you and me think that their not beautiful, smooth-skinned maiden who is combing her hair beside the rocks. Fourthly, we are going to think that mermaids is like our skin that has too much damage on their skin they would look like a shriveled, peeling raisin on their fish tails. Finally, and the last humans poop can you imagine how mermaids will do that.

 "Apparently, the underwater world depicted in the show seemed so real that many watching it thought it was a documentary.  This may have been because of the two scientists in the program who testified that “they found the remains of a never-before-identified sea creature.” by Amy Friedman (http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/07/04/u-s-government-confirms-there-are-no-mermaids/).

The US National Ocean Service confirm about mermaids existence that there are no living aquatic humanoids in the sea. US Government confirm about this(aquatic humanoids) because of the hoax documentary that the Animal Planet presented which is a part of their monster week called Mermaids: the Body Found. The documentary seemed to be real and many people believe because Animal Planet used an underwater world make it become so real makes people to watch this documentary.

According to Dan Evon, "Robertson said that he made Mermaids: The New Evidence appear like a documentary because he wanted it to be believable." (http://www.inquisitr.com/679069/mermaids-still-not-real-despite-new-evidence-video/).

Biologist Dr. Paul Robertson admitted that the documentary released by the Animal Planet Mermaids: The Body found was a bit of a hoax. The documentary makes the people and the netizens raised the issue about the existence of mermaids. Animal Planet didn't debunk the documentary so he admitted that the documentary was a bit of a hoax. He told the Mother Nature Network that the documentary is scientifically fictional based on scientific theory. Mermaids: New Evidences appear like a documentary because he wanted it to believable. Robertson explained that he only made the hoax documentaries about the existence of aquatic humanoids because he wants to emphasize that animals that can live on the land and in water can be the same as the theories like the Aquatic Apes Hypothesis. The program used straight to the point ideas and images that make people believe that mermaids actually exist. He also said that the hoax documentary work because we believe on such things that are not scientifically proven by the scientists but if you think there's any stories more appealing than a legend that can be believed. 

Based on my observation the concept of mermaids may either benefit a person regardless on whether or not you believe in them and they still have importance to each one of us, even if they're not real.

We need to study this because even if mermaids doesn't exist in world, this study will make understand that there physical features or way they used to live in stories, makes a difference or changes not only for one's self but for our society.

The purpose of this paper is to explain why few mermaid myth is important.

B. Statement of the problem

This study aims to answer this question:

1. What are the benefits that mermaids can give us based on the myths and culture beliefs?

C. Significance of the Study

Parents- The parents will know how mermaids can affect the minds of their children and how they are supposed to act on such things that there children will not be confused.

Future Researchers- This papers are going to be useful to those people who is going to do the same things as this. Some researchers who fail to impress or persuade the readers because they require more evidence or informations. This paper can help them improve and understand a lot that they want to emphasize in their papers.

D. Scope and Delimitation

This study is about mermaids that can give us benefits based on the myths and culture beliefs. People decide to think mermaids in a positive way and used it as an inspiration to try new things in life. some would either used to believe or not but is actually how you understand mermaids as an ideal example of a woman that can benefit about it.

Due to lack of time this study will no longer discuss how cultures or history come up of a creatures like mermaids what are there basis to believe on such things that is hard to believe or trust. However it can further discuss some scientific reasons can help people that mermaids is a culture based not scientifically based.

Hoax- into believing or accepting as genuine something false and often preposterous.

Netizens- called for the people who used netwoks to express their feelings.

Chapter 2

Discussion

What are the benefits that mermaids can give us based on the myths and culture beliefs?

I. Definition and Myth of Mermaids

Mermaids is classified as the aquatic humanoids under the sea. This mythical creature had started many years ago with the knowledge of the conquerors of many countries. From their own culture they describe mermaids as the guardians of the sea or what they call they call the spirits of the sea. They say that this creatures used to sing behind those big rocks, while there are sailors and big ships sailing finding were that voice come from. And because of this mythical creatures there are different stories that is classified in every country. 

Usually, mermaids are originally came from various cultures, books and different kinds of movies. Some of them used to believe that mermaids is a nymph of the sea. They believe that mermaids has that long shiny hair, a face of an angel, a shiny shimmering tail and of course a voice that can captivate a person who will hear it. Unfortunately, some cultures and traditional stories said used to think and imagined that mermaids aren't that pretty and not captivated enough but if and only if you will hear their that will be the time you will be drowned!! 

Cultures and myths from different countries has their own believes about mermaids. Some traditional countries  have a gods and goddess for them to praised just like the sea. According to legends of yore, there was a time that a one sailor saw a glimpse of mermaids tail and really charmed by its attractive tail so he decided to jumped to the water, but eventually drowned. All of us, know that mermaids are not real and was proven that it is only the psychological hallucination of the sailors that there are mermaids.But this time I will ask you a question, what is a mermaid and what is the story behind them??

According to an article, entitled "Mermaids | Folklore & Mythology" by Jennifer Tyrell, she states about 
her country Canada and the possibilities about the mythological creature(mermaids) that it guarded the water 
parts of their country and the other countries of the world(but still it based on the scientific evidences that it 
never exist). They describe mermaids as half human and half fish and commonly the upper body would be a 
face a maiden or a woman and the lower body would a fish. She also tell some stories about the people who
said to saw a mermaid. "It stated that It is widely said that what people are seeing when they look at what they say are mermaids is actually a large water animal called a Manatee. This large water animal likes to spend most of its time in the shallow waters of the Southern USA. And it may account for some sightings. But if the person seeing this creature is convinced it is a mermaid and it holds a special meaning for them then who can argue with them that what they saw was not one, in at the very least the spiritual sense." (http://www.pararesearchers.org/index.php?/20080731305/Folklore-Mythology/Mermaids.html).

These is the story that explains mermaids already caught the attention of many people not only because their uncommon description of this creature they want us to believe but because where they live and the incredible mermaids they used to say.


II. Benefits of mermaids based on the myths and culture beliefs

A. Fashion

Mermaids in the past years is nothing, they only talked about the mystery and history about mermaids on how they exist or theories about them. But some of people used their creativity and imagination for them to have benefit for mermaids even if their not exist in this world. Fashion is flexible and evolutionary. It only explains that mermaids inspired many people to use the unique and elegant style of mermaids under the sea. 

Some people inspired their master piece from the movie Little Mermaids they based their dress to fit on that way were princess rule to kids. In this era, fashion does not enlighten once physical appearance but also the country it represents too.

Because the incredible looks of mermaids that is used to believe by many of us, the fashion designer used or based to made the or many "fashionistas" to buy their dressess and gowns.In short mermaid fashion inspired by mermaids can make the country or the society rich.

As to Shitika Anand's article, entitled as: "Mermaid Fashion Inspiration", it says that mermaids doesn't have to be only underwater stories but can inspire many people to do many things about mermaids. We all know that mermaids has that magnificent beauty and incredible tail that shimmers, the designers used mermaids as to based because mermaids always get the attention of the people. The author said"Urban mermaid: style from the sea.Walt Disney fairytales made mermaids, oysters, pearls, and glitter seem whimsical; but the fashion crowd have claimed the look  and given it in an urban edge in 2012." (http://www.fashionising.com/trends/b--mermaid-fashion-inspiration-1093.html)

Fashion will not be the one that represent you because you are the one accept fashion in your life and because of that designers used mermaids, because all of us now that mermaids represent feminism and almost of the fashion in the world are women. Mermaids must not be stuck on the but also in our society.

B. Culture

Culture beliefs about mermaids existence, past by many years ago, was proven that it is only their imagination. Because of the influence of the cultures we used to belief and the history that always make us think,what would be there basis to imagine such things that is hard to belief. Although, mermaids are not real there still benefits about them. In the article entitled "Mermaids in Folklore & Australian Indigenous Culture" by Vanessa Witschi . This article states that in every parts of the world specially in the part of Asia. This countries is known for their culture said to believe it until know.

According to Vanessa Witschi "Some cultures depict mermaids as meek benevolent beings, others as possessors of medical knowledge or as unlucky omens bringing disasters. Both the Indian and Greek folklore see mermaids as Goddesses, some of whom were originally in a human form but were made half-fish as a punishment from the Gods, and some who always existed in mermaid form."(http://www.troublemag.com/mermaids-in-folklore-australian-indigenous-culture/) lkijhuygftrd

Roman mythology is usually comes from the stories or beliefs of the members Aboriginal race of Australia. Cultures depiction about mermaids really affects the minds of many people. They believe that mermaids has there own classification or own definition based on their countries. They relate mermaids on what they observe in their environment. People who either believe mermaids are not real or not was confused about how they will interpret such things to be fake or not. This will make the traditions and beliefs of many tribes that because of mermaids and other Gods and Goddesses they used to believe. Their will become wider and wider and can pass to many generations of their tribe or country.

C. Technology

There was a time when researchers used to discover living things and non-living things that was uncommon to human beings. But before that, many years past, people learned to used water and began to travel it their are some stories which is used by the sailors and fishermen that their are human-half fish used to stay behind the rocks and lives underwater. That stories past many generations until now, they tried to discovered the existence of the aquatic humanoids(mermaids) but unfortunately seems to be the evidences of their existence. In the article entitled "NOAA Denies Existence of Mermaids" by Benjamin Radford. This article states that NOAA declared the existence of mermaids to be a fake.


According to Radford, "Interestingly, NOAA has a history of addressing a few legends relating to oceans, including Atlantis and the Bermuda Triangle. Part of NOAA’s mission is public education and outreach, and if they get enough queries from the public on a given topic (even a mythical one) it’s likely they will address it." (http://news.discovery.com/history/noaa-mermaids-120629.htm).

Explains that finding a thing that is not exist in this world is very hard to find but instead finding this creatures'(mermaids') you will find some magnificent things that is hidden under and above this world. Technology would never advance if you don't want to know if that thing is really exist unless you do some research or modern technological things. Lets thank mermaids because without them their would be know Atlantis and Bermuda Triangle that we know that is a part of our history and past.

III. Conclusion

The research found out that their several things that people can benefit to mermaids even though their not true. Because of the history and culture our parents or teachers used to teach when we were still young is one of the reasons why you are in this position.

Mermaids contribute many various thing such as technology, fashion specially our culture which they originally came from. This mythical creature is not all about the sea, the stories they used to talk, and the things about negative in mermaids but we can also relate it to the reality were nothing is fantasy and full of creativeness and problems

Anything can be harmful to us but let us remember that not all realities in life could be the once who makes us success in our lives. But if think more deeper to it, it is not about the reality we can benefit to sometimes it comes from the simple things that will give us a very intelligent idea that more things in life are not yet discover but it can be your inspiration and basis, like mermaids. Mermaids can be the one of the mythical creatures that capture the attention of many people so many people used their creative minds to used mermaids as an inspiration in their success.

Blogspot 8: Do mermaids EXIST??!!!

Many asked do mermaids exist? Are they really humans? Or perhaps what they eat? They are many questions in our minds that is bothering us for centuries. But do you imagine if they really exist in our world what would be their faces and what they eat. Some people who lived on the shore and their work is a fisherman, rumors said that you would hear a very lovely and beautiful voices that may drown you to the shore and mermaids will eat you down to the depths of the sea.



The interesting article I've read entitled "Five reasons mermaids are impossible" by Emily Willingham and the site was www.doublexscience.org states that mermaids are imposible to believe not only for they looks(half-human and half-fish) but because of their different explanation that is really impossible to believe like what are we going to tackled in this article.


But do you ever think about how the parts of the fish or human can fit to each other like this image on your right. Miss Willingham explains that there are no possible things that it will happen. She explains it in 5 ways. First she said that nature itself doesn't cut two completely and very distantly species in half and fuse together the parts. Humans and fishes don't even have the same organs and parts in the way that humans hips meet a fish tail. Parking a human colon on top of a fish bladder, swim bladder and stomach. And do you think how will they fit together how will it function well. By the way the second is, if nature change tail from humans torso maybe because of parthogens or mitotically producing mermaids together of a fish and a human. Thirdly, your skin and their skin are the same that is pretty much nonstop 24-7 immersed from saltwater for a quarter of our makes you think that you and me think that their not beautiful, smooth-skinned maiden who is combing her hair beside the rocks. Fourthly, we are going to think that mermaids is like our skin that has too much damage on their skin they would look like a shriveled, peeling raisin on their fish tails. Finally, and the last humans poop can you imagine how mermaids will do that.


"Sure, it’d be interesting. But the world’s packed with enough remarkable, impossible-seeming real species, many of them in the sea, that we don’t really need to invent half-anythings to keep our attention." by Emily Willingham.


As the years comes by and many of our believes change, even our culture and community. Many of us would love to choose imagining things that is unbelievable. Like what I tackled and said to mermaids can be differ not only for their outside look but on the inside look that explains why mermaids is impossible to believe
though their are questions in our minds.

There was a moment that I asked myself if there were people like us who leave here in on land, on water were things are not been discovered yet do you think that there are out there in the depths of the sea who is waiting for and maybe didn't know us at all. People who have creative minds just keep imagining of things that is impossible to believe without enough evidences and doesn't see by our own eyes.

I've read an article entitled "Are Mermaids Real? Mermaids: The New Evidences Sparks Age-Old Question With  New Footage" by Maria Vultaggio the site was www.ibtimes.com states that there are no valuable reasons of mermaids existence based on US explanation for their mockumentary that are no evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found.

You may vary your believes somethings you have seen by your eyes or you heard someone whom you trust said those things about mermaids existence.Mother Nature Network sat down with mermaids creator Charlie Foley said that they(mermaids) reflect us not because of our psyche but also our evolutionary selves .If you are enough convinced for a film(about mermaids) and if you really go deep with you will see that we are like them because one branch of our family had gone. But in the of the past if our ancestors really sea a mermaid whom they think they have seen by their own naked eyes, states that sailors on board are sun-strained at the sea too long and very tired to explain what they really see like manatees who was been said the aquatic mermaids they see underwater. 

"The Internet began to get flooded with questions about whether the mythical creatures were real after Animal Planet aired on Sunday “Mermaids: The New Evidence,” a sequel to its hit mockumentary “Mermaids: The Body Found.” by Maria Vultaggio.

For those people who are really convinced from every film or video taken, must be really ready for what will know if the truth comes out that likely the evidences of mermaids they would probably many question running to their minds. But if really want to know the answers who search for some realistic papers that may suit your questions about mermaids. In modern technology images or action can be put together  and make you believe in something you don't know.

Blogpost 7: Dress-up like a mermaid

Fashion doen't mean all about recycled or elegance but it is also means fantasies like ways. For example Mermaids represents feminism and represents how woman should act and look like. Fashion was been inspired ones by mermaids but in a realistic way to define it. It maybe varies on different aspects like love or elegance occasionally. This is inspired by their own ideas such as designing mermaid like dresses

I've read an article entitled"Mermaid Fashion Inspiration" by Shitika Anand from the site www
.fashionising.com the author said, "Urban mermaid: style from the sea.Walt Disney fairytales made mermaids, oysters, pearls, and glitter seem whimsical; but the fashion crowd have claimed the look  and given it in an urban edge in 2012."

The author said in her article that the famous Chanel also have this inspired fashion look about mermaids. Thus, making them sensitive to the needs of the community and they based it to their moods and to the modern society.In the old ages mermaids are being describe by the people as a maiden who is a half-fish and people has been scared of. It also inspired by the looks of the mermaids like their glamorous tail and relate it to how well do the crowd accept it. Underwater effects may connect for their mermaid inspired dressess like bubbles, pearls, corals, oysters, fishes and other aquatic animals. Mermaid fashion can be also be recognized like how to wear it, hair and beauty inspiration.

Mermaids are also been inspired by many creative designer but of course they might have seen images or images of it. We all know that when were young mermaids barbie dolls make us funny not just in our own way but can also play inderwater when want to swim or play. But because of our changing society mermaids improved there own style. They made them or inspired mermaids by styling their own designs maybe maid from shimmering colours of it like every mermaid-like would be.

I've read an article entitled"2014 Is the Year of the Mermaid" by Halley Lawrence from the site www.groupon.com the author said "For countless kids, Disney's The little Mermaid was just confusing. Who would want to give up life as a mermaid; they wondered. These kids soon realized the question was moot. Their dreams of accessing an underwater world- and of propelling themselves through it was a sinuous, scaly tail -were impossible."


A mermaid-tail designer and a full-time mermaid model explain in the article why the year 2014's boldest swimwear trend is actually an environmentalist statement. For the Mertailor Ducharme, he stated that wearing a tail allows a person to join in and feel the part of the water element. And now he aims to draw the attention to the environmental issues that affect marine life simultaneously while it fulfills some people's childhood dream. When asked about the growing popularity of mermaid culture, Ducharme named Hannah Fraser as one of the most influential stars because Hannah is a model and activist who protested the slaughter of dolphins in Japan. Fraser has made a full-time job out of mermaiding and she wears her tail to draw attention to environmental issues.


"The ocean is the birthplace of all life on earth, and the mermaid is a visual representation of the bridge between humans and the sea."  Halley Lawrence says.

I agree that mermaids are visual representation of the bridge between the human and the sea because some of the fashion trends today are mostly mermaid-inspired styles and an example of that is the sea-colored ombre "mermaid hair". Wearing dresses maybe the boldest part of who you really but I think that the way is you to communicate with others is the best way to know yourself not because of your fancy or elegant dress.


When asked about our growing popularity maybe it may vary to what they really want to express. Because of what Ducharme said is all of our visual representation will be the fashion of who you are. If really take care of what the oceans, seas etc. give to you maybe our next will be able to see the beauty of it and even they will think about the things they want to imagine under the sea.

Blogpost 6: Mermaid-like Disease(Sirenomelia)

Some of us would rather mermaids are for fairytales we would prepare to say that it'll be enchanting to know because there's the prince charming, there's the mermaid princess and the king. But do you really see in the reality the we have a different current of events those fairytales are only for imaginations. Have you heard the born disease "Sirenomelia" before well I will tell you a little bit background of this disease and its survivors.

The article that I've read was entitled"Sirenomelia" by Dr Maxime St-Amant and Dr Yuranga Weerakkody et al the site www.radiopaedia.org.com states that the sirenomelia is a rare congenital deformity in which the legs are fused together, giving them the appearance of a mermaid's tail.

Sirenomelia was from the Latin word siren means"a partly female creature that sings so beautiful that sailors drowned just to hear those. They would some of treatment you can be survive on it if you could exceptional cases without renal agenesis he/she could  survive. Associate diseases that can affect them maternal diabetes, renal agenesis, single umbilical artery, imperforate Anus, oligohydarmnios, abdominal walls defects and congenital cardiac anomalies. Actually there are one of the 100,000 live births child.


"While it was previously thought as beloning the same spectrum as the caudal regression syndrome, this proposition is now heavily debated and it is now thought to result from a seperate pethogenesis." Dr Maxime St-Amant and Dr Yuranga Weerakkody et al.


There for, many children suffer from this disease explains that we/you have to be thankful to have a normal life and don't have this kind of disease. But then again, their not to be pity because them don't do that for because of their disease but it'll be their inspiration to survive and to live longer with family.


There was a girl survives this kind of disease for 10 years who's named was Shiloh Pepin. This kind of disease is very rare to every child that is born every second. But many of us has their own abilities to ease their pains not because every one always said it to them but because they believe on herself. Unfortunately, she died when she was at the age of 10.

I've been read an article entitled"Girl Born With Rare'Mermaid' Condition Dies" by Bob Brown and Lauren Sher the site was abcnews.com states this kind of disease is not easy to get over because not all disease can be cured and easy to relief all the pain with medicine or surgery not  Shiloh Pepin.

LAUREN SHERMore From Lauren »

Producer

Shiloh Pepin who was born with a mermaid-like disease called Sirenomelia. She stayed her family with her condition like that. She misses some important organ needed to function by our body. One it was her uterus, bladder, and large intestine Dr. Matthew Hand clarified a kidney specialist at the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital at the Maine Medical Center, who treated Shiloh, told "20/20" in 2008. When she was two years she had her first kidney beside from her 150 surgeries and some dialysis in the eight years followed. She was one of the three people in the world who survived from this disease. But she died because of pneumonia. But beside from her condition her parents decide that Shiloh must not stayed in a hospital because they wasnt her home, second they wanted her to be surrounded by her loved ones because they wanted totake care of her, third if the time comes that Shiloh wants to rest for her life they wanted to be their and be with her loved ones.


"Shiloh was a well-known personality in her home town of Kennebunkport, where she loved to go bowling with friends, including Samantha Mitchell and Zack Kellett, her cousins and frequent companions." by Bob Brown and Lauren Sher.


Disease like this can be inherited by your family but first you must consult for your doctor and try to ask if 
their is something wrong with you. Remember that all you want to do to your must must have enough reason to do that because it can affect your self, people who surrounds you and of your family. People who have this kind of disease is must have more attention and enough love for they can't love that their are not special and different.

Blogpost 5: Siren Archetypes

In a book that a wonderful woman write, states every woman has their own needs and importants that can said to be that their really a man. Many of the people, thinks that a woman who is seductively and sexually that is a man get excited all about are like
called or said is a siren. Compared to other culture being a seductive to a man is normal but in reality we know that it is wrong to said that being with a different man or seductively attracted to a woman is wrong in the sense that your in the wrong place and in the wrong time. Older people said that being a siren is a sin and being of it is not right in based  of our legal institution.


I've got interested on an article entitled"Simply Irresistible" by Ellen T. White the site was www.ellentwhite.com focuses on Siren Archetypes that a siren is not that a woman who always seduct man but in the other hand it represents a woman who is classified in different types of being herself. 

Siren Archetypes are classified in a little example is the Mother Siren, The Goddess, The Competitor, The Companion, and the Sex Kitten.Their are few of the women are the ones who is the popular are the modern Sirens namely the women like Angelina Jolie, Nigella Lawson, Susan Sarandon, Nicole Kidman, and Camilla Parker-Bowles, now the Duchess of Cornwall. Sometimes, a historic woman will represent a "lesson in love"—for instance, Lola Montez, a 19th-century courtesan, represents the lesson "Create a Scandal."First is,the Mother represents of a woman ha sthat sense of emotionally, sexually, physically and has her originality to do those things.Second is,the Goddess represents a girl like who really wants something that any man can't get though woman do this man rather did not recognized it. Third is,the Competitor a  woman who is a tomboyish like girl/woman that rather wants to be with boys than girls.Fourth is,the Companion what they called "the corporate-wife." She is zealous about his interest. Finally, Sex Kitten who captured our minds,

based on its name it doesn't really mean they all want is sex but she is only relates to men in such a way of physical/sexual level. She is ultra feminine, touchy-feely and a bit of innocent.


"Even when I don't know the players, I love to hear the story behind a relationship—how the couple met, what attracted them at first, and the lurid details of their sex life. I've been thinking about a book for years.  I just had to figure out what form it would take!" by Ellen T. White.

By the time that women get equally with men means that not all women wants to stay their in the house because their have their right and not to be alone. But then again women positions or get doesn't make any sense without the doings of men, without their success/failures women will not have enough inspirations to pursue their dreams and to have a success in life.

Some of women out their tried not to be a siren because they all know it will lead them to wrong persons, time and even give them problems and make them think about something that is not valuable enough to used your time. Anyone can someone's attention when we talk about sexually fantasy. People who get involved in this event may same like to talk about the life of a person who has exactly the same idea.

I read an article entitled"The Sexy Siren:Dangerous Pleasure Archetype in Stories" by Rudy De Simas the site was www.gonewiththeword.com states that one of this life is the life of Marilyn Monroe who's been judged by people around her. Because of her looks and character she ruled in her movies. 

Marilyn Monroe is one of the most loveliest and prettiest woman person could imagine but then we can't change the minds of the people and how their mouths will said. She's said to be the sex symbol of anyone who is adored by anyone especially the men. Woman's power may vary on many things like her lips, her long eyelashes, the tight of her dress and the plunge of her neckline down to her breasts. The means or the things that a siren doesn't do anything about her physical appearance and the way they dress it's how she can epitomize her victims fantasy and how she control her emotions. 

In her movie "Dangerous Beauty"that says she has the heroine of seduction but her mentor said that she have to understand men no matter his shape,size, position or even wealth because they the same idea of dreaming about their own temptress.

"A woman’s power can be in the lushness of her lips, the flicker of her long lashes, the tightness of her skirt, the plunge of her neckline over her voluptuous breasts…all of these things (especially when used together) could represent a siren. Or not. The key to the siren isn’t in the specific pencil skirt of red hue of her lips but rather in the ability to epitomize the victim’s fantasy—whatever that might be." by  Rudy De Simas.

Being what you are is not bad as it seems in fact it means that you are only confident to tell everyone it is you. But remember being true to yourself or to others that this is no one will stop me but you can ask yourself if this things happen to be right for me or maybe ask somebody to please judged if your being a good model others because who you are, are the only one who can accept yourself and know yourself better.

Blogpost 4: Dreams with Emotion

Mermaids can be a beautiful maiden out there in the sea. There would somehow click to our minds how graceful their are sometimes we even dream about them that we saw in personal and imagine that their talking to you. Sometimes seeing mermaids in our dreams makes us think what would that really mean.

I've read an article entitled"Mermaid Dream: What They Mean" by Vivica the site was www.psychicsuniverse.com states that dreaming about mermaids have a emotionally meaning for us.

When dreamed about mermaid is associated with femininity that makes us not because their are beautiful and not for their shell-like bras but because they were reside in the water whether your a man or a woman both have feminine and masculine sides. The other one is  they are merfolks half-human and half-fish when you dreamt about it means that you are to much focusing on one thing and realize it's out of balance. But when she's fighting with you the mermaid then dragging you down to the dephts of the sea means your to depressed and can seek help and support from you friends and families.

Mermaid dreams are always as fascinating as they are perplexing. They can also be very haunting, whether you dreamed you met up with a mermaid, or that you actually were one. by Vivica.

All of us has a different kind of dreams. But dreams can be also differ on how will I/you remember it and how will I/you accept it then relate my reality world because we all know that mermaids is just our imaginations.

Dreams can be differ in many ways, it can be a positive and negative way because of an image or a representation that can be explained by your experiences or emotions. Merfolks can be the image of your dream that represents your brains wide imagination. These are some of that explanations that may help you understand what is the purpose of that dream.

I finished reading the article "Mermaid, Mermen - Dream Symbols" by Lori Philipps and the site was www.bellaonline.com states that dreams can affect your perception when it comes to reality, just like when imagine or see a mermaid in your dreams is also represents a different traits or characteristics.

Based on what I read, when mermaids in your dreams is like your opposite of your sex means that their is a figure of yourself can appear in negative and positive of your feelings about the creature that you've seen that can give some clues about what she wants to say to you in his/her actions. The second is, if it is too malevolent it means that she/he is drowned by his/her emotion, it can a negative figure if you feel like you have suffered a great loss. Third is,they symbolize a need to speak up, they also wants to be heard or to be comprehended because merpersons wants nothing but be belong. Fourth, mermaids may points to the feelings of vulnerability that means you are the one who must be protected and nurtured. Finally is to remember that mer-creatures is not in our minds they can be sing to you that represents the true you.

About the only thing that is consistent with merfolk is that they live in the water realm which is the realm of the intuition, feeling, and the unconscious. Therefore, when dreaming of merpeople, it means that you are dealing with something that comes from deep within yourself. Listen to the mermaids singing--because they are, in fact, singing to you!" by Lori Phillips

Dreams can be classified on the idea you wants to visualize but it is always your descision how to understand or interpret the things that is circling your mind. But in fact you must think about your surroundings or the idea if it fits your personality or just a reflection of you.

Blogpost 3: History makes changes.

Reading is like your in the different world were you can be what you want.  We will have different lives and be in the different places. But can you imagine that mermaids can be long cousins…maybe all of us didn’t believe but just think of it that whales involved the creatures as mesonychids, ambulocetus and pakicetus.

The interesting article I’ve read is “Are Mermaids Our Evolutionary Cousins” by Tim Chaffey the site was www.answersingenesis.org states that theories about the evolution of man, that our ancestors are apes but eventually didn’t we think about some imaginative interesting ideas that can change our perception to be  different.

Many of us has their own perception and believes of how human evolve and how the earth form. This article states that this evidences suggests that humans share an evolutionary history about mermaids. Here are some important evidences. First of all, all of us can hold our breath underwater and can breath longer that any terrestrial animal, the world record holder of a 19 minutes and 21 seconds without breathing underwater. Second is, 150,000 years ago a group of brown bears split then evolve in to new species : the polar bears who can actually hold their breathe and develoled webbing in their paws. On the other hand we all know the theory of man comes from the group of apes that lives that supposed to be live near the oceans that makes the ability to learn how to walk. And because of intelligence becomes to develop because of the brain-building nutrients  iodine and fatty acids of the brain Due to some changes of the continents the group got separated some would be pull back, heading inland, but other did not but some stayed still or rather they choose to go to stayed in a deeper part of the water just imagine how could that be. But just observe or look nature because the nature don’t lie.

"Our supposed ape-like ancestors started living near the oceans, and the narrator informs viewers that this is where our advanced intelligence began to develop thanks to the brain-building nutrients like iodine and fatty acids so abundant in the shellfish gathered there." said Tim Chaffey.

As we study or read some histories about this topics their would be something that I learn. It is actually very interesting that would be some people who really wants to study that mermaids can be part of our history because of the evidence.

There would some questions circling our minds that if mermaids does really exist were would they come from and how do it happen. This article of mine will perhaps lessen your questions in your when it come to that question. It will help at least know what would they be before their is a "mermaid."

I read an article entitled "Evolution Myths: Could Mermaids Have Evolve" by Brett Vollert and the site was www.thinkdeeps.com states that mermaids are humanoids who evolve from ape group.

Their are some examples or images that may help you to understand the evolution.

Many just realize or seen many changes in our lives physically or mentally. Their would be times

you would rather say your old because your maybe that's a one factor of that. But then evolution of mermaids does change from a wolf or from an ape etc. it's states here in the article like the first image(left) from the book of Neil Shubin's " Your Inner Fish" tells that how we inhereted the anatomical structure and genetic components of our fish ancestors. Then second, image(right) describes that to a fish to have a characteristic of a human must have a intense pressure on the way to a fish structure, the characteristic evolve will be limbs and appendages.

Brett Vollert  said "Ok, mermaids are incredibly improbable and probably non-credible.  Even so, this program got us at DEEPS, along with throngs of eager Little Mermaid enthusiasts everywhere, wondering…could mermaids actually exist?  And if they could, how?" 

As long as it has a basis and credible evidences on how to study or to know do scientifically. We will always had a different perspective for that. But those who is really interested on this topic can give a opinion or theories how she/he understand it.
