 Hello everyone,  Today I will be talking about biased news . If you live on Earth it is more than likely you've come across slanted reporting or biased news. Two obvious news stations which are very clear on their political views are Fox News and CNN. It is important to know how to identify when a report is clearly being biased because that could definitely affect your beliefs and values or lead to misinformation. So in this entry I will be writing about a video on Fox News . We are well aware that Fox News is a conservative news station and will likely side with republican views. Source image 1 The video is about a news report in which the two reporters are conversing about why abortion is a hot topic for the presidency. The video starts off neutral. One of the reporters (the woman), states that she once sided with the left, but recently had become conservative. She goes on to state that women should have access to abortions because at the end of the day there are plenty of ...

 Hello everyone,  Today I will be writing about the ocean. There was a point in time in which I wanted to be a marine biologist to study animals and their environment. Although I do not like the ocean all together, I do enjoy seeing the different species of animals and plants that thrive in it. I'm not at all an ocean expert, but I will be sharing my favorite animals or the ones which I find most interesting.  A species of animal which caught my eye ever since I first heard about it was the umbrella octopus (aka dumbo octopus). The reason I chose this animal was because I found that they were cuter than most sea creatures. The picture may give it away but the reason behind the name was the fins which resemble Dumbo's ears from the Disney movie. This octopus is the deepest living of its species. Contrary to popular belief not all octopuses have an ink sac, the Dumbo octopus is one of them. According to Oceana , "..the Dumbo octopus doesn't have an ink sac because it ra...

 Hello everyone,  Growing up I always knew that I wanted to go to college. My parents always told me that there would be better opportunities for me if I continued my education after high school and got at least a bachelor's degree. I loved learning so it was kind of easy to make that decision, but I know people who always knew they didn't wish to attend college. Source image 1 The first article talks about how higher education is extremely important because the opportunities are more if you obtain a bachelor's degree or higher. Seeing that article made me realize how important it is to continue one's education. I honestly thought it wasn't as big of a deal as it is. It is easier said than done, but I think if the government helps people obtain their degree's a lot more people would be willing to continue their education. It's incredibly important for students to feel that if they want to continue their education, they can.  The second article shows the st...

 Hello everyone,  These days I've been listening to a lot of music everyday. Listening to music helps me concentrate and it also motivates me while doing my assignments. I know a lot of other people listen to music when doing chores or homework, so I wanted to talk about 2 of the benefits listening to music has on the body both physically and mentally.  Listening to music can help boost your motivation when doing something. Apparently, music helps you focus with the task at hand rather than dwelling on the fact that you don't want to do that task. This will clearly help when finishing assignments that you have dreaded, when doing chores, or when you are exercising. Listening to music keeps energy levels up which creates the motivation.  Another way music is beneficial to a person is it can boost your mood. Rebecca Joy from " Benefits of Listening to Music " explains that listening to music releases neurochemicals that play a part in brain function, emphasizing the re...

 Hello everyone,  I am quite a movie enthusiast and will watch anything and everything, although I do prefer horror films.  Watching movies at the end of the day is so refreshing and it helps me "wrap up" my day in a way. Movies have a beneficial impact on people physically and mentally. While sometimes watching movies is for fun, they can also serve as motivation to some (especially if the movie is about chasing a dream).  An example of this genre is, The Pursuit of Happiness .  The main theme of the movie is never giving up on your dreams. The movie is about a single dad who is trying to create a better life for his son and goes through many hardships. While he is interning at a company, he isn't getting paid. The intern program includes 20 people who all want the job and they essentially have to compete against one another to land it. Despite all odds being against him, his determination finally pays off when he is chosen for the job. This movie is so heartw...

Good day everyone, In this post I will be writing about one of my many hobbies which is volleyball. When I was younger, some friends and family would gather to play a game of volleyball at the park every week. Although I was young, I understood the rules of the game easily because I had been playing for a while and there were always people who would help me if I made a mistake. There are many reasons why volleyball is such a great sport.  While it is a sport and typically sports are confusing at times, I believe it is one of the easiest sports to understand. The concept of volleyball is to get the ball over the net in a certain number of hits to earn a point. The desired number of hits is 3. Someone on the team "receives" the ball, someone "passes", and finally someone "spikes" or just passes it over the net (in that order). There is a good amount of rules one has to follow, but if it's just a friendly game the rules can be suggestions. When playing a...

Good day everyone,  In this post I will be sharing my opinion on blogs in general. So for anyone who doesn't know what a blog is, a blog is a website/webpage that contains all sorts of information. (Blogs)  They can be controlled by an individual or a group of individuals to share their opinions on certain topics. There are blogs on fashion trends, music, film reviews, etc. Blogs can also be personal, someone can post updates on their life solely to share their ups and downs with others. Two blogs in particular which caught my attention were Billboard's Best Photography of 2023,  and Primer's  Being Unstoppable Comes Down To Two Simple Things. So I will be sharing my opinions on those blogs as well.  In my opinion, blogs are extremely helpful. They can be about anything which means there will always be a blog about your interests. There also happen to be blogs that share celebrity gossip which I believe are a bit damaging, so we won't get into those too much. A ...
