I also watched Pure Living for Life and seen the explanation on clickbait. and now I understand why. But I also see the so called click bait catches to make people to click them on. Most of the time I don't click them on because it seem once you do the video really has nothing to do with the title. I also understand the thing about the money now. And like I been saying for years it always about the money. I hope more people see these explanation on clicbait and just maybe thing might turn around and go like it used to. It's a shame you tube went this way. To bad there is not something ells out there people would watch . But I kind of get it it's been the duming of america but TV and things like YouTube etc.t It's happening all over the world.
The article “What is a Life Worth?” By Amanda Ripley gives support to Feinberg on the issue of placing a value on a human life. Ripley includes evidence of two different social class families the Sparacio family and the Fields family. Sparacio family included a current trader and a part-time school psychologist as the occupation of the parents. While the Fields family only had one income which was from a security guard. Even though the Sparacio family holds a higher social class than the Fields family, The Fields were awarded $444,010 due to having three more children than the twin two-year-old sparacio family which were only awarded a small compensation of $138,000. The widow Cheri Sparacio states “This was just one screw-up after another”
While replaying the Life Alert commercial I had a 76 year old African American male walk by my computer and ask what I was watching. He happens to be a retired police officer who provides security for the building where I work and is also a theology professor at a local community college whom I’ve known for over six years. I explained to him the idea behind the assignment and I received an expected reaction. Being a working senior citizen who works two jobs and is still very active he found not only the Life Alert portrayal comical but he also referenced other commercials targeting older adults as well. He joked and laughed about the way older adults including him are stereotyped and said in his case and many others those portrayals are far
Being a copy of something that’s already out there isn’t going to bring an audience. There’s no demand. Also once a type of video that you make works, you don’t just want to sit on that type of video just because it’s comfortable. Find new kinds of ideas that are entertaining and that make the viewer ask questions and become interested. Then add a great title!
In the blog post “Is Instant News Healthy” by Amy Burkman, Burkman explores the pros and cons of getting news in the heat of the moment. Burkman mentions that, getting news instantly can be beneficial to those locally affected, but for those who are not it can provide false information.
Poetry is a form of an impactful and influential style of literature, purposely emphasizing and expressing an author’s voice and message. After experiencing firsthand bullying and witnessing others being bullied, Shane Koyczan has become a forceful advocate in spreading awareness about bullying. He writes emotion evoking poems that he will produce on stage or in videos in which he includes a visual background and music. Vancouver’s Olympics included a performance of one of Shane Koyczan’s famous poems that moved the world watching the opening ceremonies. Two of Shane’s most stunning poems are “To This Day” and “Troll.” “To This Day” was published February 19, 2013 as an introduction to his new anti-bullying project in hope that the, “message (will) have a far reaching and long lasting effect in confronting bullying” (2013). The later poem, “Troll,” was published September 14, 2014 as another poem to confront bullying. Both poems are brilliant and full of heart grabbing moments that spread an understanding of bullying and why it should be stopped. There are also many differences between the poems that make each unforgettable. Shane Koyczan is passionate about spreading awareness to stop bullying and he uses his talent of creating powerful poetry to make his message impactful and memorable.
According to the Las Vegas Sun’s education reporter, who did some quality control spot checks on various campuses he said that “it is not about how much the kids eat or where they get the food from, it’s more about setting them on a healthier path to adulthood when their choices are no longer anyone’s responsibility but their own” So as a long term goal, they plan on educating and informing students about obesity and getting them on the right path. A short term goal that Nevada public schools tried was eliminating food sales on campus just to find out that the convenience stores were reporting massive high sales in the mornings and right after
Nowadays, it seems that we are too busy making a living that we tend to forget how to make a meaningful life. We are all dreaming of some magical things will happen instead of enjoying a beautiful little thing happens around us. The main thing is we don’t know if we will wake up tomorrow when we go to sleep tonight. Therefore, rather than hardly put off a living, reminds ourselves to enjoy every minute of our live as if it is the last minute. Denise Levertov, the author of the poem “Living”, illustrates the philosophy of living a simple life is to live entirely in the present without thinking about what will happen next in the future. The reason for that philosophy is because happiness is not what you have but how you feel toward what you have and how you accept it.
Susie Steiner in her article “Top five regrets of the dying” an informational piece Implicitly states that most people do not live their lives as they feel they should have.
A Stolen Life begins with Jaycee Dugard introducing her family and summarizing her life at home before the abduction. On June 10th, 1991, Jaycee left for school and was never to return home. She was abducted from the side of the road by a man named Phillip. Phillip brought her back to his home and explained what he had done and why. He did not go into much detail and so Jaycee continued to ask questions, but did not receive answers. Phillip took Jaycee to his bathroom where he proceeded to undress her. Jaycee cried and screamed, saying she had wanted to go home, but Phillip ignored it. Phillip then moved her outside to a shed. This is her bedroom. Sometimes Phillip would move Jaycee to the shed beside the one she normally resides in. This one
The existence of evil in the world seems to make it impossible for us to have a meaningful life. In fact, Dostoevsky argues that evil is utterly unacceptable and that the suffering it brings a¬bout can never be justified. Is Dostoevsky’s argument unconfutable or do you believe that the meaning of life in the world can still be rescued even in the face of radical evil?
Neil Postman is deeply worried about what technology can do to a culture or, more importantly, what technology can undo in a culture. In the case of television, Postman believes that, by happily surrendering ourselves to it, Americans are losing the ability to conduct and participate in meaningful, rational public discourse and public affairs. Or, to put it another way, TV is undoing public discourse and, as the title of his book Amusing Ourselves to Death suggests, we are willing accomplices.
Controversy has never been limited to whether there is or there is not an increment in weekend mortality rate, but extended to causes behind this suggested higher mortality rate. The list of possible reasons are many; for example some authors speculated that although lower staffing levels at the weekend could have an effect, patients with more urgent conditions, those who cannot wait to see a doctor on Monday, are admitted more frequently at the weekend (1). Emergency surgical interventions, with probably more dangerous events, is therefore more frequently done at the weekend than on other weekdays (7). Moreover Mortality rate was also higher in hospitals with fewer nurses and physicians on duty at weekends and these findings led
Should people put the value of life into monetary value or should life be kept solely as an emotional quantity? People and societies throughout the ages have been trying to answer the problem of putting the value of life into terms of dollar bills. The ancient Egyptians buried their dead with all of their worldly belongings. They believed a person’s monetary worth on Earth was over, and they should take all of that earthly worth with them to the afterlife. Modern day Americans are different from the Egyptians. Today people believe that the families of the dead should be compensated for “their” loss.
In the ‘Frogs’ and ‘Wasps’ written by the “eminently best” comedian of the fifth century, Aristophanes, we see he utilized humour to exact the important message that Athens is corrupt, and on the verge of chaos. The Athenian audience would expect to be thrust into a world of humour in the City Dionysia, somewhere parallel to their own (e.g. the Athenian jury in the ‘Wasps’, and the failings of the government in ‘Frogs’). It is vital, then, that Aristophanes conveys his political and social views through slapstick, farce, and caricature to interest the audience. This is an important component in both plays as the audience is able to simultaneously accept his diplomatic views whilst being entertained. After all his main point for producing his plays were to produce something with a “little fable, with a moral”.
Though our society has adapted and developed, inequality remains prevalent all around the world. Our society assigns value to human live based on ethnicity and gender. Currently around the world there are over 30 million slaves in which 60,000 are in the United States. Even though slavery has been abolished in nearly every country many people still measure the value of individuals in cents and dollars. Should life be calculated in terms of money? How should we as a society assign value to a persons life? I personally believe that you can't assign a price to someones life and you shouldn’t It’s both politically and morally unjust.
