Convention of Rights Of the Child

Image
After reading the Convention of Rights Of the Child, in both written and in photo essay form; I have realized there are clear differences between the two, even though they contain the same information. The text version is a very lengthy document that spells out all of the rights of children all over the world.   It covers basic human rights and protections that each child in the world should be entitled to. With so much information to cover, and to communicate the entire scope of very specific children’s rights, the document, of course, has to be very thorough and lengthy.   As important as this information is, the reader may read it line by line in the beginning, but then skim over the balance of the document, once they realize how lengthy it is.   While the information listed clearly spells out very specific children’s rights, it does not communicate the rights with emotion.   It lists things more in a matter of fact way.The photo essay has a far stronger emotional appeal tha

Violent Media, Killer or just Misunderstood?

Image
P roponents of violent media state, that any child who is exposed to violent media turns into some kind of monster, however in reality there are a few violent offenders who were driven by violence in media. In fact, assuming that all violence should be sheltered from children does more harm that violent media itself. A form of media that is highly misunderstood and labelled as violent is metal music, in which is also my favorite. Metal music is a form of relief, in which people release bottled up emotions that are pushed down by every day life, but with its violent sounds and angry tones, it is labelled as violent, which is the complete opposite. The exposure of violence to children in the proper form is healthy and needed for their growth, although sheltering children from any form of violence, will disrupt their emotionally adaption to serious situations they will face when they grow older. Exposing violent media can be harmful, and have driven students to school shootings and other

Lets Argue!

Image
When people argue, they are intending to persuade the opposing arguer. A very positive way of arguing, is if the opposing person, respects and understands your arguments. Unfortunately most people with the intent to argue, are left with a person who is not willing to understand your views, and or giving no factual evidence at all. An argument is having a reason to prove, or persuade that you are right from either parties. My problem is, that when i'm arguing I am usually the only side  giving factual evidence. Therefore i am basically arguing with a wall. When I argue I want to have a mature discussion, where both sides are respecting each others views and are learning from each other. When going into an argument, you should always keep an open mind, and have prepared factual evidence, because you might end changing your mind afterwords.

Social media, killer or creator?

Image
Social media, it is argued that its the greatest revolution's since the industrial revolution, but is it really? Social media is used for countless purposes such as dating, jobs, marketing, news, and staying connected with friends and family, but will it kill us as a society? Youtube videos say by 2028 that 50% of jobs will be worked by artificial intelligence, leaving most people without jobs, where will that leave us then? They also say that most technology will be controlled by thought, making it easier and quicker for everyday activities. Also all of the contents of the internet will be stored by DNA, making it inevitable for people to have any questions, answered? Their arguments make great points, such as social media is the greatest way for new opportunities now, and in our future. Contrary in their arguments, there are flaws that they do not seem to address. Such as the job market crashing, people's choice for school, will there be any point for pursing a career, and ho

My favorite things are  music, my job, and my family. My family is extremely important to me, because not only are my parents divorced but my mother is currently very sick. What that means is that I am the man of the house, I cook, I clean, run errands,work, and currently now go to school. I have alot on my shoulders, but its not the first time I've gotten hit by the unforgiving fists of stress. I could go on and on about all the stressful days I've gone through my life, but I thought it'd be better if I told you a little bit, about the joy I have now.       Most of my time now a day's is spent at my shop, V8P Bar Duluth. We are a vape shop and we pride ourselves on helping people stop smoking traditional combustiable tobacco products. We help save peoples future lives day by day, and it brings me great joy. We're a family at V8P Bar Duluth, and we lov
