In the United States, the baby boomer generation includes those that were born in the time after World War II. Those babies are now reaching retirement age. As these adults age, many of their adult children worry about how they will take care of their aging parents. In the United States it is not common for multiple generations to live under one roof. Once children grow up and get married, they move out, leaving their aging parents to fend for themselves. When these aging parents can no longer take care of themselves because of age or illness, it is not uncommon for adult children in the U.S. to place their elderly parents in a nursing home.

A study shows that while identical twins look alike, they are not clones. Scientists analyzed DNA from 387 pairs of identical twins. They looked for mutations in the early stages of development. A mutation is a change in the sequence of the DNA. This can occur when a cell splits. A change can cause slight differences in the DNA when it splits. A tiny change can create differences in height, intelligence, eye color, and how easy it is to catch a disease. The study shows that in about 15 percent of identical twins, one twin had many mutations that the other did not have. This difference helps explain the "nature versus nurture" debate - whether socializing and upbringing affect human behavior.

Social media is becoming addicting. Research shows that most people spend on average almost 4 hours a day on social networking sites. That's almost 30 hours a week. While some people use social media for work or to stay in touch with friends, other people find that using social media so much causes anxiety and stress. So, just as many religions ask people to abstain, or not to have certain foods or drinks for a certain time, many people are taking social media fasts. They are not updating their statuses, and they are also not reading what other people are posting. They choose to stay away from social media for 30 days.

Addiction is a type of brain disorder characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli despite unfavorable consequences. As described by researchers, addiction causes an "extremely huge financial and human toll" on individuals and society. Classic symptoms of addiction include loss of productivity, impaired control over behavior, and obsessive use of substances. Habits and patterns associated with addiction are typically characterized by short-term gratification and long-term costs. Examples of addictions include alcoholism, drug addiction, food addiction, gambling addiction, etc. Research evidence indicates that cognitive-behavioral therapy and consistent aerobic exercise and endurance exercise such as marathon running, prevent certain types of addictions.
