So many users of the internet blindly browse and post on these sites without any thought to the online identity they are creating for themselves. Shares, tweets, hashtags, likes, and comments all combine to make up an amalgamation of marketable information. In November of 2016, an average of six thousand tweets were made per second, and ninety-five million Instagram posts were made per day (Sayce; Parker). Facebook “has become the largest database of personal information ever collected,” says Richard, and Facebook takes advantage of this. With almost two billion users, Facebook has no shortage of information to gather (Sparks). They do this mainly for targeted advertising. There is no small profit to be made in this.

The Holding Ground documentary was powerful and highly effective in showing the struggle of the Dudley Street and the Roxbury neighborhood and their struggle to in effect take back their neighborhoods.

It shows how all these factors affected students.

Every year, millions of students across America attend a college or university hoping to further their education and prepare for the futures. The purpose of higher education is to create prepared minds and to help the students reach their full potential. However, the documentary Declining by Degrees, produced by the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) in 2005, questions and challenges the post-secondary education system.

In class, we watched a video documentary based off of the real experiences of all the hero’s in the Syrian war from when it started in 2011 until present time. This video documentary can be referred to as the White Helmets. The White Helmets were a group of Syrian people who were in the war and had to dig people out from under the rubble and deal with the phone calls from their loved ones asking if there alive and alright when they didn’t even know where they were or if they were still alive under all the rubble from the many bombs and other various attacks. Babies and young children, innocent victims, it was just sad. Doing this was very scary and dangerous; you never know when another bomb or grenade will fall right next to you and kill another
