Meital Pavolotzky, Week 4: Stop Your Comments

  Like any other person, I use my phone a lot. But lately, I have noticed that it has started to take a toll on me. Sometimes, I’ll get on a social media website and I see bad things happening in our world. After repeatedly seeing bad news and horrible things, I feel sick and don’t want to look at my phone any longer. What makes it even worse, is that people comment their own opinions. Even when there are opinions that I agree with, I sometimes still feel stressed out about any opinion being posted. I feel that when people post their opinions it makes the facts less reliable and it introduces a way for them to let go of their anger by starting more hatred.

I know that many people post based on love not hate, but by commenting on something it causes so much backlash and it makes the social media experience so much worse. This is a problem that the new generation is facing. We get most, if not all, of our information from social media and we are able to comment to the world about our feelings on any event. Older generations, on the other hand, got their information from newspapers, TV reports, or other platforms but what they all had in common was that you could only comment to the people physically with you.

I believe that this was a much better way to get informed on current events. The comments did not add unnecessary hate or feelings. They also did not provoke needless fights. Comments impact our mental health which can impact our lives. So, what do you think? Should comments in social media not be allowed? How often do you comment and have you ever wished that you did not have to view the comments?

Sarah - Week 4 - Florida whether is not a great as people say it is.

      Many people say that Florida's weather is great because it is sunny, happy, and never cold. However, in my opinion, there is such a thing as too much sun. I don't understand how anyone could enjoy the pain your eyes feel going from a neutral room to the bright outdoors. Sun also isn't necessarily good for you. Its main health benefits are that it can boost your mood and provide you with vitamin D. However, its negative health effects include damage to your skin, eyes, and immune system. Excessive skin damage from the sun can even cause skin cancer.     Another reason why I don't like Florida's weather is because it only has two seasons. It is either hurricane season, or it is extra hot. Plus, you don't get to experience the beautiful colors of the trees changing in fall or the gorgeous scenery of a white winter. A few Floridians have never even seen snow before. This is crazy to me since playing in the snow with my brothers was one of my favorite thi...

Leah Mousseri - Week 2 - A Book in a Game?!

Image
      In the 21st century, there's a game for everyone. From shooting games to simple farming simulators it's almost impossible to not find a video game that interests you. One category of video games that I think is disliked by many for the wrong reasons is visual novel games. These games largely consist of dialogue and are often slow-paced and more relaxing compared to other genres. Visual novel games focus more on the story and characters rather than things like puzzles or combat.       The most common argument that I've heard against these games is that they're the same as a regular visual novel and have little to no actual gameplay in them. From my personal experience playing games in this genre, this is true for many visual novel games. I have played games that almost entirely consist of dialogue with a few choices that determine which ending you get. In my opinion, these games aren't very entertaining unless the story is well-written and compell...

Zander 5: Why Do We Care About Remakes?

Image
  A pattern I’ve begun to notice recently is that many of the most popular video games and movies often tend to be remakes of old pieces of media. While the most obvious examples of this would be the remakes of old Disney movies that have been released over the past several years, there are many more examples of this. For example, one of the most popular games this year was the remake of Resident Evil 4, and one of the most anticipated upcoming releases is the remake of Persona 3. So why is this, and what is the interest of playing a game you’ve already played, or watching a movie you’ve already seen? Well, firstly, there’s the appeal to those who never played or watched the previous piece of media. The appeal to this group is obvious, as to them, it’s new content. Even if one already knows the plot and twists of a story, experiencing it first hand can still be entertaining. Even if  you’re already familiar with a piece of media, viewing or playing it’s remake doesn’t complete...
