Learning Makes You More Adaptable To Changes In Fluctuating

Around the middle of the 20th Century man cultures started to grow beyond what they previously were thanks to different mediums (such as television and music) helping to push boundaries; with this came the birth of pop culture. Considering pop culture is a shortened version of popular culture it’s clear that many of the things in pop culture would be short lived. The short lived trends and happenings are labeled as “fads”. Strangely enough, some fads progress beyond their short lifespan and actually become a mainstay in the varying international cultures. One such example might be familiar as it is common in today’s society. This example is, indeed, video games.

A fad or trend is a form of developing a popular subject in which we humans tend to follow and throughout time it either develops/changes or dies down. Most often times trends and or fads are associated with being gang related; for example, most people affiliate tattoos with criminals. According to John Backderf, a famous comic strip writer, also referred to as derf believes that the message behind a fad is misinterpreted which leads to peer pressure. To begin a trend derf believes that it all begins with a small crowd, once it’s been a style for a while it escalates to a bigger crowd (the popular people), and finally it gets so big that its everywhere. In my opinion I revise derf’s theory because on his first two thoughts I agree with it, expect with his last idea.

The presupposition of “Preparing for a Career” by Derek Bok indicates that vocational and liberal arts majors should merge to help students prepare for their career. Bok’s purpose is to convince the readers to treat both majors equally, whether it’s vocational or liberal arts. Bok argues that vocational and liberal arts should combine because liberal arts gives students writing, reading, presentation skills and critical thinking while vocational majors prepare students for their future career. Bok suggests that college should give students opportunities to build connections in their major, instructor should give students feedback about their work.

These moments show a common theme as well that, knowledge can change your perspective on things.

Another possible careers that I would want based on my senior project topic being based on fictional writing is a songwriter or a columnist due to my ability to write songs and sing as well as provide songs for other artists to sing and the interest to writing my life experiences and contributing them to a newspaper or magazine on a consistent basis with people who read from the certain newspaper knowing me based on my column or the songs that I will write for other artists or for

On September 26, 2016, 84 million people tuned in to the most watched debate in American history (Battaglio). 84 million of the 135 million people who are estimated to vote in the United States’ 2016 presidential election fulfilled their citizen duties on becoming aware of the candidates’ policies in order to make an informed decision when voting happens in November (Battaglio). About 60% of estimated voters watched the raw debate so where will the rest of the voters get their information from? They will most likely watch the morning or evening news the next day but the problem is that the news will not be covering the hard facts of the debate. They will be talking about how many times Trump interrupted Clinton, Clinton’s ‘robotic’ answers, and possibly even update us on Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s divorce. The viewers will miss out on being informed about important issues such as tax policies and wage gaps that Americans face everyday. They are going to be informing us on things that grab our attention, things that will raise their viewership and make them more money. News outlets are now entertainment driven. As Al Gore points out in The Assault of Reason, the idea of celebrification of the news negatively affected our public sphere in 2007 and continues to harm the public sphere today. As a result, the public sphere is worse off today than in 2007.

I am majoring in liberal arts right now and I am looking into a few different majors for when I transfer to my next school. My thoughts have been narrowed down to a few subjects in the same field, journalism, creative writing, or general writing. English was always my favorite subject in school and it was great to be able to take college english courses while still in high school. In the jumpstart class, I took English 151 and creative writing during the course of the year, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It led me to take Introduction to Poetry in my first semester at college and a world literature class in my second semester. Now that I’ve taken a media writing course, all my options are up in the air for me to choose. All the classes I have been taking feel like a step in the right direction, even if I can’t find a career in writing right out of college. All I can ask is that you consider me for a scholarship and I will do my best to earn

The key to a lifetime of learning is to make learning lovable. Children are born with a natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge. You need not instill it in them. Instead, you must make sure it isn't squashed by keeping learning fun and relevant while showing your children that you, too, learn every day and enjoy

After 2004, research studying the effect of celebrity politics increased dramatically. Celebrity endorsement of a candidate can lead to an increase in voter turnout by the uninformed masses (Veer 2010, Frizzell 2011). Because this portion of the public is not aware of the nitty-gritty of politics, chances are that they will believe celebrities on almost anything. Celebrity speakers at the Democratic National Conference in 2004 increased voter turnout due to the media attention they gained (Payne 2007). A similar thing can be seen with celebrity symbolism. Bill Clinton and his saxophone, Barack Obama dancing on Ellen, and Barack Obama’s mic drop at his final State of the Union address are memorable symbols of these presidents (Street 2012). To the uninformed masses, primarily the younger generation with unfiltered access to social media, these events have become memes and internet trends. For a comprehensive modern example, Obama’s passing endorsement of K-Pop group SHINee, various comedic images released over his two terms, and his “dad humor” created a buffer to essentially shield some of his more negative politics from a large generation of young influencers, thus increasing his approval ratings from the new generations and recent social trends surrounding the 2016

There are many things that I do not know about, I learn a lot of things from this discussion.

Having a surplus amount of knowledge is often seen as something that is desired. But, sometimes having knowledge that

Throughout history, we can see that humans always try to acquire new knowledge. We can see this pattern because knowledge helps us, human, to have a better understanding of the world that we live in. When gaining knowledge we don't only use one way of knowing for each area of knowledge. We use a network of ways of knowing for each area of knowledge in order to acquire new discovery. We can notice a network of ways of knowing is being used in mathematics and art. Not every area of knowledge uses the same network of ways of knowing. Instead, each area of knowledge has a slightly different network of ways of knowing.

People who live in a society get to share their knowledge with others. This knowledge, when transferred from one person to another, expands. Consequently, people become open-minded to new

Nowadays trends are everywhere. You can find them in every industry and they play a huge role. The retro trend in clothing, the SUV trend in the car industry, but nowhere else are trends more important than in the hospitality industry. But what exactly is a trend? A trend describes usually the time measurable course of a development into a certain quantitative and/or qualitative direction. In economics, trends are changes of the behavior of the society. In marketing research this describes the change and development of the consumerism and consumption behavior.

In many areas of knowledge, to know is to be able to understand. In the areas of
