facebook and mental healh

I did enjoy this article to an extent. The part where they were talking about how it can help decrease depression and anxiety. I believe that that is true. What i didn't like about this article was when they said that social media can help with social anxiety. To an extent, i believe that this is true. Today, we really have to worry about if people are really who they are behind the screen. We must keep an eye out for child predators going after young gullible children who have access to social media.

This was a very interesting video. The way it seemed like a normal coffee shop, but turned into a kind of creepy vibe. People just wanted to order a coffee or a little treat, and when you get a coffee from somewhere, they usually ask for your name and that's it. This experiment really shows you how much can really be found out about you through social media. You should really have your privacy setting on to protect your information and privacy

Are camera phones destroying an art form?

Are camera phones destroying an art form? You see the selfies that are on Instagram, beautifully taken, filters piled on. It looks like it was taken on a professional camera. Well, usually they are not taken on such expensive cameras. Some people think that iphones, are destroying the art of photography. I believe that with the use of iphones, it makes taking pictures much more convenient for photographers. A lot of people can not afford such expensive equipment. With each phone that is made, the camera gets better with it.

social media video question

what are your thoughts about the videos on social media? Do you agree or disagree with any of it. Discuss ways that you use social media and do you think that there are any concerns about your use of it?


My thoughts on the videos on social media is that they have a lot of great facts that back up their opinions. In some cases I do agree. We use social media for a lot of reasons, both good and bad. I use social media to really just see whats going o n in the world and to catch up with friends. I show people what is going on in my life, whether it is good or bad.

What is Media

What is Media?


Media is all around us. It is now a part of our normal day to day lives. Media will suck us into the wonderful, yet awful pits of hell that now controls our thoughts and actions. The media tells us how to feel, how to act, and how to be ourselves. It puts unrealistic standard to young people who are and can be easily influenced by these sorts of things. While it may have its ups and downs, there are a lot of wonderful things that come along with it.

Media can help with advertising for your business. If you want to go to a college for music, it can be a little difficult to send in a portfolio. So why not make a portfolio on a website and send them the link. It can also be a great way to show off work you've done and really love. You can keep in touch with people who live far away, or you just cant keep in touch with.

greek marble statues

I am absolutely fascinated with Greek history. The myths and the art. The sculptures are absolutely amazing. The time and effort put into sculpting these life sized sculptures or human and gods.the details put into them. the crease of the clothes, the fingers and toes, just everything. The time they put into these. The blood swear and tears they put into creating these masterpieces.

art deco and art nouveau

The first time I saw art deco, I was absolutely in love. I love geometrical shapes and patterns. In some cases it almost reminds me of stained glass, like in the churches, It also reminds me of the  the title picture in The Great Gatsby movie. Overall i think its a wonderful design.






art nouveau is beautiful. I looked at drawings and architecture. With the drawings, a lot of portraits in circles. I was really into that. I love when i see drawings of people, but the little extra details and expressions on the people are just spectacular. the architecture is so beautiful. The way some have rounded corners and the shapes. 10/10. I love it so much.
