Me: “So, in your opinion, why do you think different types of music affect us differently?”  Moon: “I think certain instruments or voices effect the brain to make us feel. For me, jazz music produces a sound that makes me feel classy and jumpy. I also believe that rhythm in voice or song make us feel certain ways due to the repetitiveness. I believe that voice and music effects the body positively, whether its releasing emotion or gaining emotion.”

Some of these characters may do horrible things that people would never do in real life, which makes some viewers feel better about themselves.

Another reason

Instead, in our view the viewer gets morally engaged with the main character because of the moral development and change displayed by the morally ambiguous character over the course of the narrative, which is evidenced by increasing moral deliberation and shifting moral priorities during the narrative

Envy is defined as a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else’s possessions, qualities, or luck. These feelings may push you away from these specific groups of people. “Studies found that using social media extensively can deteriorate interpersonal relationships in real-life and can lead to social isolation”

ted talk,

There is a possibility that social media also connects us with people on another level. I personally have gotten closer with people over a phone screen rather than a person sitting in the same class as me. This screen saves me from the social anxiety that overcomes me during a simple conversation. 

there is a threat of

Not only is this

Although these nine hours aren’t specifically spent on social media these nine hours we spend disconnected to those who are around us in reality.

Throughout my research, I will be collecting information to develop and support my hypothesis. Although this could go the opposite way of my thinking, my hypothesis is that we as adolescents and those of young age who have grown up on a phone screen no longer connect with interaction as well with other humans.

Meaning social media networks have taken over our perception of others and taken over the way we communicate and bond with others.

Marijuana has been around for thousands of years and has been used throughout the centuries and made into different commodities like hemp rope. Perlmutter states that Records show the use of cannabis that dates back to the sixth-century BCE all the way up to 1937 when it became illegal under federal law until 1996 when California allowed the research of medical marijuana.

Two different studies both found that fewer people died from opioid overdoses as a result of Marijuana legalization.

cannabis benefited with the pain of the body

Although ethical considerations precluded the use of a control group, the results were dramatic. 18% of the subjects experienced a 75-100% reduction in seizures; 34% percent had a 50 to 75% reduction in seizures; 12% had a 25 to 50% reduction in seizures, and 26% had less than a 25% reduction in seizures.

searchers have observed chemotherapy patients consume doses of MM, and then feel an increase in appetite, they decided to try to test it on people with eating disorders, such as anorexia. Studies show a low dose of THC was associated with weight gain, but no change in the psychopathology of the eating disorder itself

Anorexia was another disorder treated with medical marijuana.

In 2016 a study was done on 244 chronic pain patients that determined that medical cannabis use was associated with a 64% reduction in opioid use, fewer side effects, and a 45% improved quality of life according to Whiting.

you might ask

High Times Ahead by Steven B. Perlmutter in 2018 a poll was taken and people supported the legalization of marijuana for its medical use where 86% said yes, on that same pole people thought it would be a good source of tax revenue but little did they know in 2015 Arizona registered nearly 115000 patients for use of medical marijuana and received 29.5 million in tax revenue and nearly 6.7 billion nationwide in 2016 with an estimated impact by 2020 to receive close to 44 billion.

Medical marijuana can be used for a plethora of different things like diseases that affect the immune system, including HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis (MS), which causes gradual loss of muscle control, inflammation, pain, seizures, substance use disorders, mental disorders this is only a handful of things that Medical Marijuana are used for.

the direction of tail wagging movements is also directly involved in intraspecific communication.

Four basic hypotheses have been put forward to account for the findings. “Dogs attend to human communicative signals such as pointing and respond to them in human‐like ways. Importantly, it has been established that dogs’ responses in object choice tasks are highly flexible and are not based on either odor or on some kind of low‐level, non‐communicative cueing.” (Kaminski).

Dog–human communication.

Dogs also communicate via gustatory communication, utilizing scent and pheromones.

How do dogs communicate with us? Dog communication is the transfer of information between dogs, as well as between dogs and humans. Behaviors associated with dog communication are categorized into visual and vocal. Visual communication includes mouth shape and head position, licking and sniffing, ear and tail positioning, eye gaze, facial expression, and body posture.

Some symptoms a person can experience when having or getting a heart disease would be chest pain,

LDL is known as the “bad” cholesterol because it is the waxy type of cholesterol that forms plaque in your arteries. “ Cholesterol-lowering medications, such as satins, may help you control your LDL levels.”  Smoking: “smoking damages the arteries and can prevent enough oxygen from reaching the body’s tissues, organs and muscles.” Diabetes: “ High levels of blood sugar (glucose) in your body can also harm the artery walls.” and Obesity: “ Carrying too much weight can strain the heart and increase your odds of developing high blood pressure and diabetes.” These four factors that I just mention are something a person can get or develop if they don’t properly take care of themself and their health conditions because then it can lead to a more serious situation. 

Men are prone to getting a heart disease at the age of 45, and women are likely to get it at the age of 55

Some of the causes and risk factor that has to do with heart disease would be atherosclerosis, “which is a build-up plaque that’s in the coronary artery wall where they can contain the cholesterol, fats, calcium and other materials”

In an article titled, “Cyberbullying” (Ortega, Calmaestra, Merchan) the piece of writing explores cyberbullying using a specific questionnaire to 830 students with ages between 12-18 years.

Especially, considering they say that most of those shootings, the shooter had posted something about the shooting happening, before it even happened. School Shootings, however, have a much darker tale told about the killer.

The stat I said about mass shootings in the country on the rise is very alarming.

The President then goes on to saying inappropriate things that you wouldn’t expect him to say, but the plot twist is that it wasn’t actually the president speaking at all, it was a computer generated video of President Obama that looked very realistic.

Another topic that came up during this election and still is a fiery topic to this day as long as social media exists and technology advances, is the question of “What is fake news?”

This meaning, that whomever a voter may follow on social media, if surrounded by posts in favor of a single political candidate, they were more likely to vote for that candidate.

Although, when you take a deeper dive into the question on did the use of social media have an affect on the 2016 Presidential Election, you may come across an article called “Like, Post, and Distrust? How Social Media Use Affects Trust in Government” by Elad Klein and Joshua Robison.

he Donald Trump Campaign was unlike any other, as he was a very rare, unfiltered, and unapologetic candidate, where any thing “ground-breaking” he said, could be instantly viewed seconds after he spoke it across multiple platforms to millions of Americans. Due to his extreme beliefs and “non-sugarcoating” proposals, there became a big gap between those who may agree with his ideals, and those who don’t.

“Light from electronic screen devices can alter the melatonin secretion and thermoregulation. It can also have an impact on sleep physiology and sleepiness measures, cognitive performance and mood” (Green). According to research an increase in exposure to light intense device usage, biological rhythms were altered, body temperatures were declined and melatonin secretion was nearly nonexistent. “These changes may directly or indirectly lead to the next morning’s behavioral and functional deficits, such as greater sleepiness and inattention. As larger populations are exposed to this ‘light pollution’ emitted from these devices, effects on our health, cognition and daily function may be pervasive and significant” (Grandbois).

Adults are not unaffected by the recent rise in popularity of electronic device usage.

“US teens spend an average of more than seven hours per day on screen media for entertainment, and tweens spend nearly five hours, a new report finds — and that doesn’t include time spent using screens for school and homework” (Rogers).

t is a very easy way of researching information and I’m glad I learned to use it. Now I can use it to my advantage in the future.

“Online rumors can have real world consequences” (Brooking)

“I have pictured here just some content that trafficked Sri Lankan social media last year. To the left we see a claim that the Muslim minority are hoarding 23,000 sterilization pills that they intend to use against the Buddhist majority. And then to the right, we see WhatsApp traffic between a few Buddhist nationalists….they’re not going to let it stand, they send pictures of the weapons they’re going to use to ensure that the pills are never put into use…over the course of 3 days because of this viral misinformation we have a Buddhist mob who descend on Muslim houses…they burn mosques, beat people, burn one man alive. …Sri Lankan government has to declare a state of emergency because of this misinformation…social media did not cause but sure exacerbates it.”

“I think you have to at some point be honest with what’s happening in the real world, as opposed to what you’d like to have happened”. On occasion, large numbers of people eschew incorrect information in favor of knowledge” (Hochschild; Einstein) On the other hand, many may believe any information on social media sites that they see. “Although the internet provides immense opportunities, it also lowers the cost of generating and disseminating information, allowing misinformation and sensationalized stories to propagate. What was once spread locally can rapidly become global, with ideas no longer confined or delayed by geography. This has generated a series of studies of information diffusion (Serrano et al., 2015), rumour spread (He et al., 2015), and consequent behavioural changes (Salathé and Khandelwal, 2011; Wakamiya et al., 2016).”

 This issue is highlighted in a CBC News video, covering the specific pieces of misinformation surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19). In the video, the reporter states “Search social media these days and you’ll find plenty of this—unverified video of people in China apparently falling to the ground stricken with the coronavirus.

In fact, Facebook is used daily by 74% of users

According to a study from Pew Research Center, in 2005 just 5% of Americans used social media. As of 2019, the percentage rose to a staggering 72%
