Problem/Interest: Cleanliness of Antibacterial Hand Soaps and Hand Sanitizers

Research Question:
Do hand santitizers and antibacterial hand soaps clean as well as they say they do?
How do the chemicals in the soaps affect the environment outside the wastewater treatment facilities?
Literature Review:

Paragraph One: (Statistics)
Antibacterial Soaps are shown to clean the same as plain soaps.
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/09/150916113058.htm
Triclosan is found in most soaps and detergents as well as a lot of other common household items. Its normally removed during waste water treatment, however Triclosan has been found in 58% of freshwater streams and rivers after going through the water treatment facility.
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/05/160525121602.htm
The antibacterial compound triclocarban shows possible negative effects on the endocrine.
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/12/071207150713.htm
Triclosan used in many different products could "diminish the usefulness of important antibiotics."  This is true because of experiments conducted that show that bacteria is becoming more resistant to the once effective chemical.
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/09/130919154433.htm
Paragraph Two:
(Types of Antibacterial Soaps)
Antibacterial Soaps are not any better at preventing illness or cleaning you than plain soaps. In many cases the antibacterial agent Triclosan makes the bacteria more resistant.
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/08/070815173055.htm
Paragraph Three: (Triclosan)
This is the Material Safety Data Sheet for the chemical Triclosan.
http://wirud-ingredients.com/certificates/subs/8_1.html
There are a few different ways that you can sample liquid to find the concentration of Triclosan.
http://digitalcommons.library.tru.ca/urcproceedings/vol10/iss1/3/
(Actual article) http://digitalcommons.library.tru.ca/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1007&context=urcproceedings
Triclosan has been linked to endocrine disruption, which is the diruption of the fertilization substance as well as other health concerns within animal and plant life.
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166445X06003407
This is a bit about endocrine distruptors in general
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/05/140512101410.htm

Paragraph 4: (bring the two together)
There are a variety of commonly used soaps that contain this toxic chemical of triclosan. Companies like Bath and Body Works, Dawn, Suave, Old Spice, and more. You can also find this toxic chemical in anything from toys to carpets to even your mouthwash.
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Triclosan

Hypothesis/Engineering Goal:
If I can make a mock environment and treat it with similar chemicals I could see the short term effect on the small environment. I would also like to test the nearby water ways and see in what ways we can clean up the now contaminated streams and rivers. Also I would like to determine if Triclosan is the only chemical that is enhancing the danger of water to marine life.

Procedure and Materials:
1) make a mock environment
a) fish tank
b) water and land
c) include marine life? or just test the dirt and water...
2) test the water in the area
a) water samples
b) methods to test the water for the triclosan
3) visit a nearby water treatment facility
a) ask questions about their methods to clean the water
b) ask about the level of toxicity in the city water

Research Draft:
58% of US freshwater rivers and streams have been tested to contain the common antibacterial agent Triclosan, after leaving the water treatment facility. Antibacterial soaps are beginning to show that they don’t clean any better than plain soap and water. This chemical Triclosan has actually been shown to cause bacteria to be more resistant, it is also an endocrine disruptors which is really bad for marine life, and we don’t know much about how it decomposes to affect other life. With this information, I would like to determine if antibacterial soaps really are any better than regular soaps as well as if there are any possible ways to improve the water treatment facilities water cleaning process.

Purpose:
To prove if the stereotype of woman being more scared then men when watching horror films is true or not

Genders Reaction To Fear
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/A:1006662822224

Paragraph 1-  [Stats]
People "Love" Horror. Sociologists, Psychologists and several Movie Fanatics are trying to find the reason Horror movies attract men and women. Why do more men like them then woman? or vice versa, Why Does it attract us - http://filmmakeriq.com/lessons/the-psychology-of-scary-movies/
Studies show that Men lie more then women,and Lies are not usually to others but to themselves. Men say they are not scared but are they really??? When a woman is asked do they like horror most of the time the answer is "No I don't watch horror" or on occasions some answer "I am not scared of them" Thus a poll on fear toward Horror Movies won't make much a difference, considering people lie to themselves.
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0747563201000590

Paragraph 2- [Scary?]
Most ratings are viewed in "Rotten Tomatoes" I came across scary movies as "The Older The Better" "Nosferatu" was up there, and "Nosferatu" is a silent Black and white film, But my guess that the reason to that is due to the oldness of the film the number of reviews is lower. But in my own opinion the horror movies I hear about more now are those from the 80's and 90's.
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/top/bestofrt/top_100_horror_movies/
A horror movie typically targets the general fears of the public, For example most horror movies take place in the dark, because most people have a fear of being in the dark. Not just darkness but several features, Movies look into this, the more fears they use and the more blended these are the more impact the movie is on an audience.
https://blogs.chapman.edu/wilkinson/2015/10/13/americas-top-fears-2015/
Paragraph 3- [Categories]

The actual term "Horror Movie" is quite well known, However there are several categories beneath "Horror" Such as "Animal Attack Horror" Similar to "Monster Horror" only that the monster exists in real life [Jaws] or "Alien Horror" Involving aliens [Alien] [Signs]

https://books.google.com/books?id=3AaGCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA1&lpg=PA1&dq=horror+subgenres&source=bl&ots=VLDXkCHQWC&sig=BqXCMEXnYfgza5wNAAbWV7dliE0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjGnIPQ4bDQAhXriFQKHYuTA584ChDoAQhDMAg#v=onepage&q=horror%20subgenres&f=false
There are much more Categories of horror movies, however there are too much to list.
Paragraph 4- [Fear (BP)]
Fear can be measured in different ways, such as (HR) Heart Rate, (SCL) Skin Conductance Level, and/or Behavior [Facial, Vocal, or Body behavior] Some measurements are more reliable than others.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2756702/#R26
Paragraph 5- [Psych Test]
In an experiment it is good to understand the subjects emotions pre-experiment and post-experiment. Thus PANAS was made, the measurement of positive or negative reactions to the situation. Below is the general description of a PANAS
http://psycnet.apa.org/psycinfo/1988-31508-001
An Example of a PANAS
http://booksite.elsevier.com/9780123745170/Chapter%203/Chapter_3_Worksheet_3.1.pdf
Hypothesis:
My Hypothesis is that gender does not impact the feeling of fear in an individual, however it is displayed differently for each gender.

-Horror Movie (Alien) [Have This]
-A place to watch the horror movie (Can Be used Multiple Times for unlimited time) [My house, School, Rent a public place out]

Procedure:
1. Distribute Contracts and questionnaires. Do not Mention what you are testing or what the movie is.
2. Pick participants, Do not use people with PTSD or Severe Phobias. Must be teenagers within a 16-18 Age limit.
3. With selected subjects have them fill out a PANAS.
4. Set up a hidden Night vision Camera facing the subjects seat. The seat should be located Around 6-7 feet from the TV. The Movie has to be show on a HD TV with Surround Sound or good speakers. Room should be comfortable to the subject, as to assure they will focus on the movie.
5. Sit the first subject down and apply the thermometer pad and put on the fit-bit properly.
6. Move to a nearby room, Do not reassure subject of being nearby.
7. Measure both using the App {TEMP'TRAQ} or Computer Application {FIT-BIT}
8. Start movie And record starting time. Keep application open for whole movie. And keep devices charged
9. At the end of the test record the data in a graph or if the application has a graph take a screen shot of the graph and save it.
10. Repeat Steps (3-9) for the remaining Male and Female test subjects. Only test one at a time. Repeat Step 4 only if the testing environment is dirty or changed from the previous subjects experiment.
11. Distribute the same PANAS.
12. Collect data and find the average [(Subject 1 +Subject 2 + Subject 3 + Subject 4 + Subject 5 + Subject 6) / 6 = Average] of all the subjects Heart Rate and Temperature at a Certain point of fear (Such as, an attack, Suspense, and or ETC.) this will be the controlled variable.
13. Then find the average of the females HR and Temperature [(Subject 1 + Subject 2 + Subject 3) / 3 = Average]
14. Repeat Step 12 instead to find the average for Males.
15. Repeat Steps (11-13) But with different points in the movie plot.
16. Graph the Averages
17. Compare The Differences in averages
18. Congrats! Your Done!

Method:
Prove that a focus is needed to include both genders in horror, thus avoiding the typical stereotypes of women in horror. Example: "Damsel in Distress", The "Dumb Blonde opens the door scenario", "Evil Seductress". If I can prove the differences in reactions to horror between men and women, I can convince that women can be interested, thus the stereotypes of a female in a horror movie can be eliminated, to show a character as not a female but a character. In which a character would do the same thing regardless of gender.

Future Research:

Bibliography:

Notes: Men lie more than women...You think men are lying about being scared. General audience would be to men, so the overall purpose would be for men. Gender equality/military.

RQ: Are men or women more affected physiologically by horror movies?

NOTE TO SELF: The control will be the measurement of personal resting temperature, movement, and heart rate for each person

ANOTHER NOTE: If a subject knows they are being tested the experiment will be inaccurate, Due to subjects changing their reactions.

Problem/Interest: Serial killers

Purpose: Explore biological & environmental influences on serial killers

Research Question:
What influence has a larger impact on serial killers between nature vs. nurture?

Literature Review:
Paragraph 1 - General info on serial killers & murders
Serial killers are rare, and a lot of them don’t fit into a general stereotype. Many fit into different racial groups and some aren’t always dysfunctional. They all have different motives for killing and might present themselves as normal people, never showing any signs of being homicidal. Their intelligence, motives, environment, and other factors for killing vary among them.
https://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/serial-murder

Paragraph 2 -Serial killer development
Studies suggest there's a difference in the brain chemistry of serial killers than normal brains. They don’t kill out of the blue and often show symptoms of homicidal tendencies and they tend to commit nonviolent petty crimes. Many of these killers suffer from childhood abuse at a higher rate than the general population. Childhood abuse is found to be a possible factor for these homicides.
http://www.crimetraveller.org/2015/07/serial-killers-childhood-abuse/

Paragraph 3 - Charles Manson
Charles Manson became infamous for forming the Manson Family, which was involved in several notorious killings that happened in California during the 1960’s. Charles Manson started showing signs of trouble at an early age, committing his first crime at age 13 by robbing a store. He was sent to juvy and continued to commit several theft crimes. Manson never had any biological family or parental figure in his life and he showed constant signs of having unstable emotions. He formed his family who mostly consisted of young girls that were dropouts or neglected and abused in anyway, and had an unstable life similar to his. Charles Manson believed that he was Jesus Christ and he instilled the idea in his followers that they were all chosen by heaven.
http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/manson/mansonaccount.html

Paragraph 4 - Columbine High School Massacre
The Columbine High School Massacre was carried out on April 20, 1999 by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. They were both raised in stable, normal families but were bullied at school. Klebold suffered from depression and Harris never went through psychological analysis. Harris and Klebold believed in natural selection, although journals that they both kept showed that they were self loathing and suicidal.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=103191819

Paragraph 5 - Research done on serial killers
Brain scans have been performed to see differences between a normal brain and that of a serial killer. Neuroscientists think there is abnormal activity in the frontal lobe of the brain, behind the eyes. The frontal lobe is responsible for judgement, impulse control, social behavior, among many other motor & cognitive functions.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-superhuman-mind/201212/the-making-serial-killer

Hypothesis/Engineering Goal: See whether which one of these has had a greater effect on serial killers, nature or nurture.

Materials List/Method/Procedure:
By using meta analysis we are going to draw conclusions from several different sources and studies already done on serial killers to see correlation between nature or nurture and their effects on the behaviors of serial killers.
Important questions that we will address are:
Who are serial killers?
What is nature vs. nurture?
How are we analyzing?
What data are we collecting?
We will also make analysis graphs.

Goal: To understand the cell/skin regeneration to improve the skin graft for medical uses.

Method: We can hopefully bring in a star fish and cut an arm/leg off to record the growth rate,shape, and time of the regenerating arm. Also we will record the body part already cut off if needed.

Interview:
1. Did you know that if somehow we were able to understand the regen. of the starfish to be use for medical res.

2. A. If figured out, this can be viewed as a new a improved skin graft given to doctors to help people worldwide.
B. Also if possible when the starfish gets rid of an arm, the arm can grow a new body. So future medical devices can possibly make new body and replace damaged areas of the body, if not the whole body if there were more advanced tech.
C. This can also be a military medical device/machine to help repair soldiers on the battlegrounds and in the hospital recovering.

Literary Review: http://animals.mom.me/starfish-regenerate-1317.html
They accomplish this by housing most or all of their vital organs in their arms. Some require the central body to be intact to regenerate, but a few species can grow an entirely new sea star just from a portion of a severed limb. Most sea stars also have the remarkable ability to consume prey outside their bodies.

Problem: Chronic procrastination causes health, financial and relationship problems.

Purpose: To determine what happens when we procrastinate and see if caffeine help reduce this procrastination.
Question: How does caffeine reduce procrastination of an individual in relation to sleep depravity?

Literature Review:
Paragraph 1 Background.
Everyone procrastinate but not everyone is a procrastinator. It’s okay to procrastinate but it’s not okay when you chronically procrastinate. Procrastination is a delay of doing an activity because the task is too hard, too much, you feel lazy, you are not motivated and other stuff. Procrastination is motivated either physically and mentally. When you are in a bad mood or feeling down, you will not have the motivation to do the things that you have to spend energy on to finish. Procrastination is a big problem because you are threatening your own health, you will become financially unstable and your relationships with other people can be affected.

https://www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/why-wait-the-science-behind-procrastination

paragraph 2 Background.
Procrastination is the avoidance of doing a task that needs to be accomplished.[1] It is the practice of doing more pleasurable things in place of less pleasurable ones, or carrying out less urgent tasks instead of more urgent ones, thus putting off impending tasks to a later time. Sometimes, procrastination takes place until the "last minute" before a deadline. Procrastination can take hold on any aspect of life — putting off cleaning the stove, repairing a leaky roof, seeing a doctor or dentist, submitting a job report or academic assignment or broaching a stressful issue with a partner. Procrastination can lead to feelings of guilt, inadequacy, depression and self-doubt.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procrastination

Paragraph 3 Background.
Caffeine is a bitter substance found in coffee, tea, soft drinks, chocolate, kola nuts, and certain medicines. It has many effects on the body's metabolism, including stimulating the central nervous system. This can make you more alert and give you a boost of energy.
For most people, the amount of caffeine in two to four cups of coffee a day is not harmful. However, too much caffeine can cause problems. It can
Make you jittery and shaky, Make it hard to fall asleep or stay asleep, Cause headaches or dizziness, Make your heart beat faster or cause abnormal heart rhythms, Cause dehydration, Make you dependent on it so you need to take more of it. If you stop using caffeine, you could get withdrawal symptoms.

https://medlineplus.gov/caffeine.html

I will have people write down their daily routines and sleeping patterns and their eating habits. I will see their procrastination patterns day to day. I will collectively collect data for a few months and make my analysis. The budget for this research will be really low as the only thing we need is a journal.

Problem/Interest: Creation of a new peptide for fighting against resistant diseases.

Research Question: Can more powerful or more effective peptides be created in a cost effective method?

Literature Review:

1: Background http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0196978112000344
A study in the creation of novel peptides designed to fight the growing number of resistant bacteria by using methods that cant be resisted or uncommon methods that bacteria hasn't developed defenses for.
2. Definition of a peptide and a novel peptide:
http://health.ccm.net/faq/1451-peptides-definition
A peptide is a combination of amino acids usually smaller than protein and are used in the creation of chemicals in your body (hormones, enzymes, ext.)
http://www.news-medical.net/news/20160413/Novel-antibiotics-to-overcome-antibacterial-resistance.aspx
A novel peptide is one that is specifically chosen because it has a low chance for bacteria to mutate against it or other beneficial property.
3. category of peptides
http://proteincrystallography.org/peptide/
Hormones.carry signals between cells.
Neuropeptides. are produced in the brain and involved into regulatory and signalling processes.
Alkaloid: involved into defend of one organism from consuming by other organisms.

Antibiotics. inhibits the grows of micro organisms
Toxins.poison substance
Regulation peptides.regulate some processes in organism (very broad usually only used when it cant be put into another category.

Hypothesis:

Draft research question:
*Each year in the United States, at least 2 million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and at least 23,000 people die each year as a direct result of these infections.
*rational policies for prescribing existing antibiotics plus strict infection control are the current mainstay efforts for preventing and combating multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.
*2011 national survey of infectious-disease specialists, conducted by the IDSA Emerging Infections Network, found that more than 60% of participants had seen a pan-resistant, untreatable bacterial infection within the prior year

Cationic Antimicrobial Peptides

* current consensus is that the mechanism is sufficiently different from conventional antibiotics that the development of resistance could be remote. Their broad spectrum activity, low potential to induce resistance and diverse functions make antimicrobial peptides an attractive family of compounds that have potential to be developed as therapeutics for treating certain infections
*Most are capable of rapidly killing a wide range of microbial cells
Question: How can we create antibiotics that bacteria hasn't built a resistance to.

Paragraph 1:
Heatwaves in the Ocean:
As the world's oceans continue to warm, marine heatwaves are likely to become more frequent and intense. Observations and model simulations also demonstrate that other factors such as ocean acidification and deoxygenation are putting additional stress on marine organisms and ecosystems.

Problem/interest: How the human minds remember things differently.

Purpose: To understand why people remember things certain ways.

Research question:  How many different ways do people remember things?

Paragraph 1:
Defining what the mandela effect is
"The “Mandela Effect” is what happens when someone has a clear memory of something that never happened in this reality." Many of us — mostly total strangers — remember the exact same events with the exact same details.However, our memories are different from what’s in history books, newspaper archives, and so on.

Paragraph 2:
All of the different mandela effects:
"No single example of the Mandela Effect has generated more online buzz than that of the children's book series and animated TV show The Berenstain Bears. Quite a few people who grew up with the series, it turns out, remember the title being The Beren stein Bears,with the name ending in "ein" instead of "ain"..."

Paragraph 3:
Different memories of things:
"Ask anyone to repeat this famous quote from Disney’s Snow White, and they’ll most likely begin by saying “Mirror, Mirror…” However, the Evil Queen actually says “Magic Mirror on the wall…”

Paragraph 4:
Hypothesis: If we test how people's brains think differently then I think most people will have different takes on things because everyone has different minds.
Materials list: people, pen and paper, data table, questions to ask
Method/procedure: 1. Come up with original mandela effect questions
2. Gather 12 people's memories on the questions we ask
3. Record their answers/data.

Draft Research Question:
How many different ways does the human mind recall different events and things?
1. "The “Mandela Effect” is what happens when someone has a clear memory of something that never happened in this reality."
2. the majority of people remember the same things the same way but in reality those things never happened or people never actually saw it.
3. For example, people remember two different spellings of "berenstein bears", some think its "berenstein" and some think its "berenstain." This is the mandela effect.

Our 3 questions:
1. Do you remember “cup of noodles” or “cup noodles”?

Right answer: Cup noodles 2. Do you remember “Sex in the City,” or “Sex and the City”?

Right answer: “Sex and the City”
3. In the Disney movie “Snow White,” do you remember the evil queen saying “Mirror mirror on the wall…” or “Magic mirror on the wall…?”

Right answer: “Magic mirror on the wall…”

Problem/Interest: Gum

Purpose:  How can we gum healthier?

Research Question:
Paragraph 1:
http://www.history.com/news/hungry-history/chew-on-this-the-history-of-gum
The ancient Maya chewed a substance called chicle, derived from the sapodilla tree, as a way to quench thirst or fight hunger, according to “Chicle: The Chewing Gum of the Americas” by Jennifer P. Mathews. In North America, the Indians chewed spruce tree resin, a practice that continued with the European settlers who followed. In the late 1840s, John Curtis developed the first commercial spruce tree gum by boiling resin then cutting it into strips that were coated in cornstarch to prevent them from sticking together. By the early 1850s, Curtis had constructed the world’s first chewing gum factory, in Portland, Maine.

Paragraph 2:
http://healthwyze.org/reports/383-why-a-stick-of-gum-is-more-harmful-to-your-health-than-anything-that-you-eat
Gum is typically the most toxic product in supermarkets that is intended for internal use, and it is likely to kill any pet that eats it. Titanium dioxide is an ingredient usually found in gum that is so cancerous that external skin contact is enough to cause cancer.  Be reminded that all of this ingredient absorbs directly into the blood stream through the walls of the mouth. Chewing gum is easily one of the most toxic products available, and it is difficult to ever know exactly what it contains due to vague terms such as "gum base" and "artificial flavors". These reflect trade secrets, and the ingredients probably are made of hundreds of other ingredients that they are unwilling to disclose.

Literature Review

P1: http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2013/11/30/words-can-change-your-brain/
In their book, Words Can Change Your Brain, they write: “a single word has the power to influence the expression of genes that regulate physical and emotional stress.”

Positive words, such as “peace” and “love,” can alter the expression of genes, strengthening areas in our frontal lobes and promoting the brain’s cognitive functioning. They propel the motivational centers of the brain into action, according to the authors, and build resiliency.

Conversely, hostile language can disrupt specific genes that play a key part in the production of neurochemicals that protect us from stress. Humans are hardwired to worry — part of our primal brains protecting us from threats to our survival — so our thoughts naturally go here first.

However, a single negative word can increase the activity in our amygdala (the fear center of the brain). This releases dozens of stress-producing hormones and neurotransmitters, which in turn interrupts our brains’ functioning. (This is especially with regard to logic, reason, and language.) “Angry words send alarm messages through the brain, and they partially shut down the logic-and-reasoning centers located in the frontal lobes,” write Newberg and Waldman.

Prime the brain with words

The University of Georgia is teaching lawyers how to use words to prepare clients for mediation. Harvard is studying the effect of using positive words or images, such as those related to rewards, victory, or security, at the start of a negotiation, rather than focusing on the items in dispute. This priming can trigger the production of oxytocin, the neurochemical that helps trigger feelings such as well-being, affinity, and security. Change management plans might be more effective if we are careful to prime our communications with positive images and emotions. Managers might choose words very carefully in performance reviews, recognizing that certain words will trigger a fight-or-flight response and shut down the higher cognitive functions in an employee’s brain. And since you are hearing yourself using these words, be mindful of the effect of your own words on your brain. You may be telling yourself a situation is a “problem” when you are trying to present that it simply is a puzzle that you expect to solve.

The Power of Yes

When doctors and therapists teach patients to turn negative thoughts and worries into positive affirmations, the communication process improves and the patient regains self-control and confidence.[10] But there’s a problem: the brain barely responds to our positive words and thoughts.[11] They’re not a threat to our survival, so the brain doesn’t need to respond as rapidly as it does to negative thoughts and words. [12]

To overcome this neural bias for negativity, we must repetitiously and consciously generate as many positive thoughts as we can. Barbara Fredrickson, one of the founders of Positive Psychology, discovered that if we need to generate at least three positive thoughts and feelings for each expression of negativity. If you express fewer than three, personal and business relationships are likely to fail. This finding correlates with Marcial Losada’s research with corporate teams,[13] and John Gottman’s research with marital couples.[14]

P4: http://enduringhopeministries.com/words-and-their-impact/

There are two types of word weaponry.  The first deals with “Receiving” words being released to us and the importance and the need to sometimes reject them.

For instance, my 11 year old, ecstatic that she cracked a sphere in a mineral naturalist reserve, excitedly told a good friend who promptly replied:  “well I did that in kindergarten”; or the time when she sent a photo to friend with a caption – Colorado is beautiful; and her friend replied: “Oh, not as beautiful as Alaska!”  Thankfully, Christina knows who she is in Christ, and doesn’t “Receive” those words as detrimental, but the lack of interest from her “friend” does hurt.

Or, how many times have you been in a situation because of the other person’s insecurities they speak hurtful words to you trying to cause you to feel insecure about yourself.  Whatever you “hear,” think before you respond!  Right at that instant, you have a choice.  Do I choose to receive those words or not…  God desires for us to stay in step with the Spirit.  He doesn’t want us responding out of anger, bitterness, resentment or retaliation.  You need to be prepared.   If you aren’t prepared, and thus react without thinking, you will undoubtedly feel rejection.  And REJECTION is a sure cause of INSECURITY.   Respond either verbally, or in your thoughts with truth.  If you are suited-up, and know you have right standing with God, you have some of His Word tucked in your heart.  You trust that He has your back, and you know without a doubt who is holding you up, then, and only then, can you respond confidently!
