Why I am interested in researching social media bias.

Image
       Writing a research paper is something that can be hard at times with all the work that ends up coming with it but as long as one is interested in their topic one can end up finishing it quickly without a real struggle. For me social media is something that is interesting to me as well as computer software. Because of the topic I am searching up is about social media bias, if it is true or not, as well seeing if hate speech is more relevant on social media as well. They talk about using something called a BERT model that searches though all the words that are being posted to identify what kind of language is being used to identify who is the person behind the text and then it records how the algorithm is pushing out their posts because of the person behind it. That may not be all right but that is the general idea behind it.       It has intrigued me to see if how someone is typing for their race or someone's else's are either being shown the same or being shown less than

Social media is helpful?

Image
  Since the dawn of time people have always been bored and did not know how to spend all the time they had on their hand. Some kicked rocks around, others worked for the best of society. Then there are the people who stare at flowers for more time than they realistically should be. Now we have not just the people who stare at flowers but now we have people staring at flowers on their phones. It seems like it is not images of flowers they have taken as well, it seems as if it was images of flowers others posted on what is called social media. It is known to be the area where most people, well, teens end up wasting their time on. Because of this behavior people have started calling some teenagers zombies since they are not acting without any thoughts and just following the motions(medium.com).  Schools have noticed how often teenagers are staring at their phones and are now capitalizing on it so students can learn better and actually pay attention. Statistics have shown that 96% of stude

Is music therapy really that great?

  Music therapy is not what you may be thinking right now. If you're thinking it is just laying down in your bed listening to music depending on your mood to make you feel better than well, you are not wrong but you are not right as well. The reason why it is not wrong is that making your emotions feel better through music can be seen as a form of it but since I am assuming it was not prescribed to you, it is not actually apart of it. What is actual music therapy then, well it is music that is used in a skillful manner by trained therapist (encyclopedia, 1).  So cool we have music that can be given to us by therapists but how does that help you may be on your mind now. Therapy through music can help patients overcome challenges they are experiencing in their life like: social, physical, emotional, intellectual (encyclopedia, 1). Because everyone is different and because everyone takes the therapy for different issues it has a range that it helps people. Music therapy is able to hel

Why do Babies have so many, gosh darn bones??

Image
Babies have existed for longer than humans have been around and have been thought to be the most adorable creature in the world. Why do people say that when they are unable to talk to us, whine all the time, and the biggest issue of them all is that they are built different from us, and us humans hate different. Now you may be thinking I have gone crazy saying that babies are not human and are built completely different from your standard human, but know it is all true. To dip your toes a little into the information, so I don't shock you with the facts too hard is that babies have three-hundred bones in their small body and yes some of them are made of cartilage, but they are bones nonetheless (choa.org, 3). Now that you know a bit more of the structure of these demons, I mean babies, let's have you know some more of how their body works. These creatures have things called growth plates all over their body and if any of them happen to get damaged some insane things can happen t

Wrestling is the oldest sport

Image
  You may be reading the title and thinking to yourself, 'I have tons of articles showing that running is the oldest sport to date' And well you are not entirely wrong. Running has drawings in caves that date well over 15,000 years and has a record in 1829 BCE in Ireland showing it being competitive as well (oldest.org,17). But thats only one competition other than the Olympics in 776 BCE where both wrestling and running competed against each other (oldest.org, 17),(rockstarwrestling.com, 2). It seems wrestling has been out and around for longer than running with paintings in Egypt dating far back to 3000 B.C.E, showing belt wrestling (Editors of encyclopedia Britannica, 5). Running seems to be second oldest sport with all the information there is to back up wrestling, from my few biast sources. It does not show running having many dates other than the Olympics event and as well as the Ireland one.  But competition aside why has wrestling stayed so popular over 15,000 years, if

Thomas Edison did not Invent the light bulb.

 Adventure of the light bulb If Thomas Edison did not create the light bulb who did, you may be asking. That question cannot be easily answered since there is a lot that happened from the idea of the light bulb to the actual creation or perhaps the perfection, based on  your own opinions. How it all started was with Alessandro Volta who invented a way for generating electricity called the voltaic pile. After Volta the first person who started the journey of inventing the light bulb was Humphry Dary who made the first 'light bulb' but burned out too quickly and was too bright. He was not the only one who struggled on inventing the light bulb, there were many others like Waren De La Rue and William Saite who's inventions were too costly. There was then Joseph Swan who fixed all those issues but his invention was not as practical as it seemed. After that time there was a Canadian inventor who created the first actual light bulb in 1874 but was unable to sell it to the public a

My blogs and I. Self-Assessment.

Image
Criteria All my blogs have met the expectations on the rubric except one. I failed to make sure my sources were in MLA format and instead had only links whenever I posted them. I also forgot to credit most if not all of the images on my blogs as well. Other than that my blogs have near perfect grammar, have images, responds to the topic with enough evidence to prove my point, meets the word count if not exceeds at time, and finally is always uploaded on time. Confusion and Stress There has been times when I am creating a blog that it stresses or confuses me since it is a relaxed platform and not as strict as an essay; because of this my writing sounds nervous or may sound rushed since I am trying to have a relaxed but not too relaxed style as I write my blog. Other than that I have not stressed too much about my blog posts since the topics have been interesting to me, which in hand makes me want to work on it more, but if the topic ever leaves my interest I may end up stressing since I
