Interesting Youtube Video

This video was on my recommended on youtube, and it had me thinking about how egotistical some Americans are. There are some Americans that think the United States is special for its freedom and the influence it has over the world. In this video, the main character giving the speech points out stereotypes and demographics within the United States. And points out the many flaws and weak points America has opposed to other world powers. For myself, I haven't really thought about this topic and it was an eye-opener to how great America was in its rise to power. Some of the techniques used by the main character when giving his speech were the enthusiastic approach and the tone switch to emphasis his main points. The speech was a majority of Pathos, with its emotional ordeal, but had a mix of Ethos and Logos, giving some statistics and ethics throughout the speech.

Juice Wrld Sudden Death?

This morning famous rapper, Juice Wrld, was pronounced dead at the hospital due to a seizure. At this moment, a drug-related cause for his death is still in speculation, but some are assuming it was caused by a drug-related overdose. Along with his death, there are some rumors about what really happened. With all celebrity-related deaths, people always point to the "illuminate" and the government as to why celebrates and politics suddenly pass away. But Juice Wrld has some solid evidence of his death being orchestrated by an unknown force. One of his hints towards his death can be seen in the song "Legends" where he says, "We ain't making it past 21". What's odd enough about this lyric connecting to his death is that he had only turned 21 previously this year and died. In another song labeled "Lucid Dreams", he says "I'm a jealous boy, call me John Lennon". What's suspicious about this lyric is how John Lenon passed aw

My Relation With Social Media

My relationship with the media is essential because it allows for my connection with friends and family, and the current events going on around the world. Some of the social media apps that I use regularly are Snapchat and Instagram. One of the negatives of having social media is its creation for addiction for my phone. According to my iPhone settings screen time, I spend an average of 9 to 10 hours on my phone. But in my defense, most of those hours are later night hours when I'm going to bed. With my obvious addiction to my phone, this creates barriers for doing actual important things like homework, chores or hanging out with family and friends. But being in a generation surrounded by other people just as stuck to their phones doesn't make it as bad as it seems.  Some of the positives of having my phone with me are its ability to connect people that otherwise wouldn't talk in person and its ability to create a much more involving culture.  Being able to talk to my

Am I The Only One?

Image
So this evening while opening the Instagram app, I noticed at the bottom of the app that it now says "from facebook". When reading I was completely surprised and I never even realized that Instagram was even slightly related to Facebook. Facebook and Instagram have two completely separate user demographics and I think I have an idea of why Facebook wouldn't try to force their app onto Instagram. It is apparent that the majority of Instagram users, or at least avid users, are the younger generation of children and teenagers. While Facebook is primarily adults and generation X. My idea to why Facebook stays a separate entity from Instagram is primarily influenced by our need for autonomy. When teenagers and younger adults are given a platform to express themselves mostly free from adults and parents, we are given a sense of freedom and our own individuality. While many older folks still use Instagram there are many settings like activating your account private and
