Mission Entry Nine: Influence

    Media. It has been in our lives since we were born. If you are reading this, it is a media. What are you reading this on? My blog is being typed, posted, read, and commented on the internet. How do you get to the internet you say? Well, Johnny, you grab hold of a device and look for me. Not me literally, you are looking for the place that I created a social discussion board. Media will always be there, it will never go away, no matter how hard we try. Media comes from the very spread of information that isn't through the personal face to face connection. In the past, we had the newspaper. The very newspaper would spread the word on what goes on in the world around us. Reporters go out of their way to see what people are doing. Even if it has the worst of consequences.     TMZ is a recent News outlet that just wants to invade the lives of celebrities and shine the light where it doesn't with the average person. The news was important back when it came out, b...

Entry Mission Seven: Conversation Starter

    Do you use hashtags? If you do, that's awesome, although I do not use them I get the concept simply because I have been in the world long enough. I may not use social media, but I talk to people in general conversations, and it is hard enough to bring up topics that one person would like to talk about.

Some people may be able to relate to how they felt on their weekend, or the activities, or what everyone just got to accomplish on their weekend. Or you may be apart of the un...

Entry Mission Eight: The Missing Piece

    I want to discuss the new film Instant Family and go into discussing why this film should be viewed as a family in today's generation. When the film kicks off, it ignites the characters Pete and Ellie who want children, and open their home to three children that they want to see if they would like to adopt them. The film has a great representation of a modern family, has heart, and two new parents that are willing to accept the instant effects of their home additions. My grandparents, sister, and I went to go see this film when we found the time with somewhat good intentions. To me, they were not as high as the film presents itself to be. I was shocked at how the film took the turn of focus developing the characters throughout the film.     When you spend your life as a kid, not knowing what your parents go through every single day, yet we question taking out the trash, it strikes the heartstrings looking back at who we were in the past. Kids take ad...
