Causes Of Cancer

 In the U.S.A about 1.8 million have been diagnosed with cancer in 2020.  Approximately 600,000 of the 1.8 million people die and that's only in the US. My topic is the causes of cancer. For example some things that cause cancer would be Diet and physical activity , smoking, sun and other types of radiation and viruses and other infections. There are over 100 different types of cancers that all do very different things. Cancer doesn't only affect adults, It affects all ages including babies, kids and adults.

The first habit that I am going to talk about is smoking. Smoking can cause lung cancer or serious damage to your lungs. About 480,000 people die  in the USA because of smoking. People who smoke normally die about 1- years before people who don't.

All the other habits do not have a certain type linked to them, less physical activity is linked to most cancers. Sun and radiation exposure can lead mainly to skin cancer. Viruses have many cancers linked for example papille. 

Those are some of the main causes of cancer from daily habits. Hopefully you learned something new today

       Rosa parks is one of the main people that helped with the civil rights movement. She did many things to help and one even led to arrest. Most people don't realize how much she did to help the civil rights movement. Now let's dive into the life of this hero. Rosa parks was a big civil rights activist.She lived from 1913-2005 and was 92 when she died. She lived in Alabama for most of her life.  In 1955 is when she started fighting for her rights. She was so determined to get normal rights that she joined the NAACP ( National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) which had big names like Martin Luther King. Jr.  Now let's see what challenges she faced. She faced many challenges in her life because of her skin color.
