    This is not considered a blog post. You should elaborate on each event. Where it happened? When it happened?
    If I was to grade this blog post, you would receive a zero.

The Danger of a Single Story - TedTalk

  The Danger of a Single Story       This TedTalk is about a girl from Nigeria, who has lived there up until she had to leave home to study abroad in the US. She talks about how she used to judge her new house boy because the only image she had of him was that he was poor. Then, when she went to college in the US, her roommate judged her based off of the idea that she is from Nigeria. However, as she got to know her, the roommate then realized that they have a lot of similarities.      Relating why she was telling these stories, she focuses on the fact that a single/ one sided story  isn't going to lead to anything throughout the whole TedTalk. In my opinion, it is exactly like a story with different perspectives. Listening to only one side of a story, is as useless as having just one pair of a shoe. For example. the roommate was only listening to what she was hearing from the people around her, and seeing on social media. These were all a si...

The Surprising Science of Happiness | Dan Gilbert

  "Turns out that freedom, the ability to make up and change your mind, is the friend of natural happiness"      Dan Gilbert talks about happiness as it comes with making choices. Making choices doesn't literally mean having to choose, but he explains it in a way that is interpreted by having to live on with something that was manipulated and chosen for you, or something that you were able to contemplate whether or not you want it. He later on speaks about an experiment that was done on Harvard photography students. Some of these students were given the choice to take home one of their photographs and not look back at the other one. Whereas the other half, were given a reversible option in which they had the option to go back and change which one they can go home with.      In my opinion, that actually does make sense. In a way, that is why some people are indecisive and find making any decision extremely hard since they always find a possibility of ha...

Rules

 Rules        " The Giver" is a a book and a movie. The story is based on a community that has many rules; some relevant and some aren't. In the story The Elders are the ones responsible for changing or cancelling the rules. The rule goes through the committee and it becomes studied by The Elders who should then eventually change it. For example, in the book they say that the rule where children can't drive bikes before the age of 9, wanted to be cancelled. The rule was passed in the committee, and even though it takes so much time that the people forget about it, it does get cancelled or changed eventually. in real life, though, the government of each country is responsible for changing the rules. In many countries the citizens are the ones who have the most impact on changing the rules, yet in the fewer countries, the citizens have a very low voice on making the rules. For example, in Saudi Arabia abayas have been a very big past of the Saudi culture, yet...
