these are things i did well this semester.
blogs:
_This is my 'Media Selection' blog post.
Mr. Kemp told me to write a blog about media selection like what kinds of movies people like and why do they like it. I think this is an interesting topic and I think that it's going to be related to all kinds of things.
First off, I think it would be related to your parents and how they teach and raise you. Also this could be what they allow you to watch and what they would watch themselves or with you and your family. If a child is raised not being allowed to watch scary movies or movies that are rated too high for their age, then they will likely not watch those movies a lot later in life or just not even care for them at all.
Secondly, I Think peer pressure and friends have a lot to do with this as well because everybody knows that children and teens are more likely than not to be influenced by their friends especially if they don't know who they are, are insecure about themselves, or have just given up on trying to be their own self. I think the factor of having friends is the most true reason for people to watch what they watch and like what they watch.
Lastly, I think that people themselves, if they know who they are and aren't easily influenced by others, like the media that they do simply because they find it interesting or appealing to themselves. I think this is a good trait to have because people who know themselves and what they want to do with their life early, generally do better in everything they seem fit to be of importance in their lives.

_This is my 'Perfect School' blog post.
My idea of a perfect school is a school that lets you learn at your own pace, but in a sort of way that pushes you to move at a good pace that will help you keep moving and encouraged to stay in school and learn and have a good future. I think this would include a normal class environment that being like 28+ some odd students and a teacher that runs the class but does not make you do things so that the students have the opportunity to learn on their own and do what needs to be done in their own way instead of being made to do things a certain way.
In this modern day society students are being taught one specific way which is not always the best idea when in different circumstances, different people would need their own personal ideas which might have been taken from them due to the lack of diverseness (if that's a word) in learning in schools. They are all being taught based on the idea that one specific way to do a certain thing is always the best way and this is certainly not true because everybody is different, and it NEEDS to show.
I really think this needs to change so that the world can and will be more diverse with different ideas from so many different people all around the world, and that would definitely make the world a better place.

_This is my 'Why Don't People Participate in Politics?' blog post.
I think people don't participate in politics because they don't have time or they don't feel like their vote will count or they just aren't educated well enough. The main thing that gives everyone the opportunity to participate in politics is voting and elections and that's because in Canada gives every citizen over the age of 18 to vote for whomever they please in any election. If someone gets asked if they voted or who they voted for, (on average, 40% of Canadians do not vote in federal elections) they will say that they were too busy that night or something was going on, but in reality it is because they are uneducated about all the things that go on in Canada or because they can't make it on time because most elections are held on business days instead of non-working days. I think that every Canadian should know about all the things that go on in our country because it is more likely that the country will be run better by someone who was voted in by people who know what they had been offering and for which reasons they voted for that person, as opposed to someone voted in by half of Canada's population that actually vote, whom of which might not even know what they are voting for. If everyone knew who and what they were voting for, the whole world could be a much better place, especially in those countries who give their people the right to vote for whoever they please.
