Entry #8 Hypocrites

Image
Hello hypocrites!-Now this is the blog where I finally explain why this is my intro. Everyone at some point in their lives has been a hypocrite. I believe this intro of mine comes out strong and maybe somewhat offensive or a bit harsh. I do want my audience to feel this affect.      I want my audience to be a bit thrown off when they read my intro...Let me explain. Well, to start off, I love philosophy and all the deep meaning stuff that comes with it. I believe people who can admit their REAL flaws in themselves, have an advantage. They have the advantage to change their own selves when they are being toxic or harmful to others. To clarify, if you see what you do wrong, you can now change to do right. Get it? Now you have the chance to change the bad in you, to be a better human being. Being honest with yourself gives you the chance to grow stronger. I am sure everyone likes to be the victim in many scenarios. It is easy to blame others when we mess up. It is so ea...

Entry #7 HASHTAG BLOG

Image
Hello Hypocrites! Let's discuss hashtags...       So, what are hashtags? According to Dictionary.com, a hashtag is"a word or phrase preceded by a hash mark (#), used within a message to identify a keyword or topic of interest and facilitate a search for it." In other words, hashtags are a word or phrase typically on social media that helps a user search faster. This searching is fast for individuals because it groups and categorizes that word or phrase used.      Personally speaking...I never use hashtags. Well, I shouldn't say never, because I only use them for political reasons or to be purposely cringey (idk is that's a real word). I find myself often cringing at people who use hashtags in their posts when they are not political. Wow, I am sounding harsh and I am not trying to. Side note: If you are reading this and use hashtags I am sorry and I am not trying to make you feel bad or attacked. Double Side note: you do NOT have to agree with me on hash...

Entry # EC Capitalism

Image
     Hello Hypocrites! Let's discuss Michael Moore's film Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) ...       Before watching Moore's film, I never thought capitalism can affect America in so many ways. I once heard someone say that capitalism is a huge cause of global warming. And my response was like : ??? Then, I had government class during senior year. I learned about capitalism, and from the textbook, it sounded great. The idea of free enterprise sounded fair, and did not seem as toxic as it is portrayed in his film. Also, my older brother always insisted that capitalism is the best way to go.    However, my views instantly changed once Professor Nielson tied us down to our desks, and forced us to watch the film. I am glad he did it, because now I have a wider view on Capitalism. During the film it is clear that the type of rhetoric Moore uses in the film is humor. Yes, it always great to laugh at terrible situation, and his humor narration c...

Entry #6 My girl Demi Lovato is a baddie and here is why:

Demi Lovato's Impact             Hello hypocrites! There are tons of celebrities out there, and some use their platform to influence the world. There is a certain celebrity I want to discuss with you today and that is singer/actress Demi Lovato. Like any other human being on this planet, she is not perfect, but let me tell you why her streak of success positively impacts the world.       Demetria Devonne Lovato is a popular celebrity with numerous music awards, and recently a Grammy nominee. Her mental illness and substance abuse is widely known to the public. She struggles with eating disorders (bulimia) and is diagnosed with bipolar disorder.  At a very young age, she became addicted to hard drugs, which then led her to be kicked off her award winning Disney show Sonny With A Chance. After multiple relapses and visits to rehab centers, she was officially sober for 6 years.      Du...

Entry #5 Ducey's Education Plan for Az

Image
     Hello there hypocrites! ( I'll explain in a later blog why that is my intro) Anyways! Let's discuss the education plan that Doug Ducey has cooking for Arizona.     In the article posted on AZ Central's website:  Ducey: Why Arizona needs more college grads  discusses Doug Ducey's (AZ's current senator) concern for the percentage of college grads in Arizona. Fair warning, I am going to express my opinion on this, and I do not want to offend anyone..I think his plan SOUNDS great, but I question if it is realistic? I'll admit that I think it is great that the type of rhetoric he uses with percentages makes his point quite appealing. It makes it sound reliable with the use of numbers and all that. To clarify, his plan he is working on, includes teaming up with communities and Arizona's Education department. It is called Achieve60Az, and the goal is to increase 60% in Arizona's grads by 2030.      The reason I question this is beca...

Entry #4 hmmmm advice or?

Image
Real Advice?       Hey there Hypocrites! Hmmm today’s topic is advice. No, not me asking you for advice, or me giving you advice. I want to discuss about the advice that’s given everywhere on the internet. Advice is given everywhere on social media, whether it is Twitter, Instagram, Facebook Snap chat etc. Before I get into this, I’m not upset that there’s advice everywhere, I love that individuals in this time period have easy access to all sorts of advice. I am only talking about this topic to get the human brain flowing a bit, ya know? -to think deep.        Advice is spread across all sorts of social media outlets, but do we ever question how credible these advice accounts are? I was mindlessly scrolling on Facebook one morning, and saw endless shares on all sorts of advice. I began to click on these advice accounts on Facebook and Instagram. These advice accounts have tons of followers, with thousands of likes and shares. I came across some...

Entry #3 Fact Check

Image
0           Hello hypocrites! If you are up to date on the news then you are aware that there is a lot of division in America- politically and socially speaking. Now, whether you are a leftist, rightist, middlist, upist or downist we can all agree that our news sources are ALL bias. There is so much opportunity and freedom to put out your opinions, or interpret facts in your own words so much that original news and facts can be buried under all of it. It can be buried under all the name calling, blaming, theories and even your moral point of view.      The topic on immigration is a constant talk on all sides politically, there is a lot of over generalization that I would like to clear up. I am aware that my own blog is sounding bias already, and I do not mean to offend anyone who opposes this view. If you have a concern, or want to correct me, please comment and let me know. I want to remain neutral, but still hold my morals with facts....
