The influence of social media is not a new concept whatsoever and it's a given that our society is heavily persuaded by what is popular. Since it is so intertwined into our day to day life, social media has a responsibility to the people to demonstrate healthy interaction towards others. They let down our youth who are impressionable and jump on any bandwagon of what they think is cool. Parents play an important role in discussing with their children the topics they are being exposed to online so at least they are informed. However, most websites do a poor job at regulating the misinformation and hate that is spewed across the internet. Media has the capability to spread awareness about important topics but they aren't living up to their potential.

Choosing Canada's Oldest Chinatown was an easy decision for me because of the historical value it holds and the personal connection I have to it.

Response to Sherry Turkle

-
https://www.ted.com/talks/sherry_turkle_alone_together#t-1165898 I think Sherry Turkle made valid points towards our relationship with technology leaving us isolated. Her comments about people using technology in inappropriate circumstances like funerals, boardrooms and at dinners is a perfect example of being present physically but not mentally. We are putting ourselves at a mental distance to those who surround us, as we escape into our phones for distraction from life. If we have an honest conversation with each other about extensive technology use, it could result in our society finding a healthy balance between quality time with ourselves and those who surround us.

An Article to Get to Know Me: My Favourite Movie

-
https://variety.com/2018/film/news/legally-blonde-3-release-date-valentines-day-2020-reese-witherspoon-1202836355/ Legally Blonde, to this day is my favourite movie of all time. On a personal level, when I think of Legally Blonde I think of my mom and my the countless times we indulged ourselves in the greatness that is Elle Woods. This movie is a great movie to discuss the social concept about girls being more than their looks and what they can amount to. 17 years after the original release, Legally Blonde 3 has been announced, and I could not be more ecstatic.
