ENTRY #11. Dear Future Students.

Image
Dear Future students,  What can I say about blogging, easy? piece of cake?, you wont jump off a cliff? well, not necessarily is it easy but it is quite challenging. Challenging in the way where you have to organize what you are talking about so your audience can understand, just like a paper. You have to organize what you are about to say. For example, say what you're going to say, say it, then say what you said.  For me, being a retired blogger on blogger, I've learned you can get creative in your blogs. you can add pictures and videos, change the text and size, and even add different colors. That was the fun part about doing a blog. I experienced so many ways to blog and how your own opinion matters and how it could impact others.  The most challenging thing on doing a blog is making sure who the audience is. sometimes you could lose track and get off topic. Other than that, a blog is helpful in building trust and confidence. Don't think a blog is exactly like F

ENTRY #10. "The Simpsons"

Image
As the variety of shows became more popular over time, no one in America would've thought of a cartoon show becoming the most watched showed in the world. "The Simpsons" came out on December 17, 1989. Created by Matt Groening, he had ideas for each characters in the family of five. It is almost impossible to have never seen The Simpsons because of how popular it was and is. Matt started the first few episodes with the father, Homer, who is married to his wife Marge and having three kids, Bart, Lisa and Maggie. What made this animated family so interesting? They were not a perfect family, each half-hour episodes showed problems and also real life situations that related to the viewers. It has humor and heart-touching moments. Now, the show is STILL being played on Television with back-to-back episodes. There is a connection between the Simpsons and society. It came down to the beliefs of Americans that The Simpsons can predict the future. Due to the episodes,

ENTRY #9. The power of media.

Hello guys! Welcome back, I just want to briefly tell you guys a story about an experience I had with media not to long ago. Over the past few days I have been trying to come up with an argumentative topic for my English 102 paper. I had came across a bunch of issues due to the power of media, but I want to call out one specific one that bothers me. It came to be a Monday Afternoon and I had been Picked up for work by my aunt Erika who I work with and on our way to work, this was me on the passenger side turning over to see her face sucked in her phone, one hand was on the steering wheel because the other hand was holding her phone! I was looking at her like... I gasped and told her exactly what that meme above said " Fuck my life right?" Meaning she doesn't care about being on her phone while driving especially with me on the passenger seat. I then thought about how the power of media can literally kill you! If the media strongly took away the attention o

ENTRY #8. JUSTICE FOR CYNTOIA BROWN.

#JUSTICE FOR CYNTOIA BROWN I just recently seen an article about a 15-year-old who was kidnapped, a part of human trafficking and sold to a 43-year-old man. This story has just become viral and the big part of this story isn’t that she was a part of human trafficking the big thing is that she had gotten the courage to finally fight back. she had shot and killed the man who bought her. She was forced into prostitution by a pimp when she was 15 years old and ended up killing a man when she was 16, in self-defense. She was tried as adult for his murder and given a life sentence. Her name is Cyntoia Brown, she’s been in prison for more than 10 years already. She was tried as an adult in 2004. I’m sure just like this case there are many cases where the justice system has failed and instead of trying to help children in the same predicament, they just see the “crime” they committed, and they lock them up and throw away the key. Her story had gone viral when singer, Rihanna,

ENTRY #7. HASHTAGS

Now a days when you first hear the word Pound, You tend to think "what the hell does that mean?". Well, because social media takes a huge role in our life, All we ever known the pound for was "hashtag" or at-least for the past 10 years. You see, it became more easier once social communications came along and made everything off the phones. Instead of newspaper, Hashtags were more popular to use and interact with, but why? The "hash" symbol carried a lot of power in the way it represented something and getting to it quick. A hashtag goes viral on the internet and in seconds you can see what's going on because the hashtag says it. For example, when you want to look up a certain subject online, all you have to do is hashtag the subject and it will come up instantly. Hashtags are very known to be the quickest link to any subject you're interested on. I happen to have a lot of experience with hashtags because of Twitter. Twitter is the king of h

EXTRA CREDIT ENTRY #6.5. CAPITALISM RHETORIC.

Image
After watching a short film by Michael Moore, At the beginning I was trying to understand his purpose of this film. He showed footage of robbers robbing a bank and then videos of kittens being scared, I thought okay this film maker was trying to be funny but what got me to think more was his responds to those videos. He mentioned " will the future remember us as funny kittens in the world or the real crimes being made". Further on I've learned from this film that CAPITALISM is not fair at all, in fact I've learned exactly what it is and how it works in our country. They get private owners to control the industry which usually are economic and political systems, for profit. Moore showed me that you can ask questions that tend to sweat them. Questions that the industries don't want to hear and in the film Michael goes to Washington D.C to ask some questions and they usually didn't know the answer to. In overall, Moore shows the impact in America with capita

ENTRY #6. LEFT HANDERS.

Hello guys, Right now I am going to be talking about cool benefits of being a left handed person. I want to start off to say that I am one of them, and that you are definitely not cursed ( not too sure). If you are a lefty you probably are not always right. kidding! just because we are lefties doesn't mean we are not capable of doing what right handers do, as a matter of fact, Left handed people are just as smart or creative as righties. There is, for sure more right handed people in the world and only about 10% of left handers who are usually the odd ones out but after knowing how I write and draw or do anything with my left hand, I am quite great.I know that being a lefty can take advantage of sports. Being a former player I loved being able to play basketball and being able to make a left lay-up knowing its one of the hardest thing to do for a right handed person.  I've noticed that left handed people get their side of the palm and pinky finger dirty when writing.
