New Media Replace Old Ideas By Mel


Even though the printing press reinforced individualism and changed the structure of thinking I believe the internet made more of a cultural impact around the globe.  Most newsworthy content are display on Facebook, Twitter and every other social media outlet you can think of.  Organizations understand this format which is why heavy reputable corporations such as CNN, New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal include this high technological structure to their system.  Institutions sole purpose is to make financial profit so it makes sense to converge the internet with their journalistic format.  The internet is most likely available everywhere, you can gain access to it on your smart phone, tablet, computer or even your game console just to name a few.  Information is within your grasp in a matter of seconds compare to obtaining a newspaper or magazine, seriously who wants to wait until your newspaper is deliver.  Observing written word content forces your mind to focus on information which makes you more advance.  Reading books is like you are feeding yourself knowledge minus the glut irrelevant ads provided to you from the internet.  The internet not only provides you with information but also with commercials marketing their brand for you to buy their product.  It is not to say that books and magazines are becoming obsolete because you cannot get a whole story from Twitter or Facebook in 140 characters.  Yes the internet is more universal but the danger it poses towards this generation is overexposure.  Also, serious concerns and the danger it can present are sexual contents which presents a cause-effect relationship between individual behaviors and social norms.  For example, a celebrity who a child looks up to performs and dress in a very sexual way can encourage kids that it is acceptable.  They imitate behaviors from shows that you can see from Netflix from online can make it more acceptable.  Sex education sadly is not being taught from some parents and most kids learn about sex from the internet, I know some kids 10 and up who have access to smart phones that can access this information.  The internet is making a strong impact on our cultural which is now considered a global village.

Self-Reflect and Accept Change By Mel

I NEVER understand why people are so desperate to get into a relationship without focusing on themselves.   Cuffing season has become the new norm in today's dating age and no wonder why there are so many incomplete relationships.   Shortcomings are bound to happen when you put in shortcoming efforts which equals shortcoming results...it's not rocket science.  When people market themselves in a particular way by showing their romantic side or being independent it is completely opposite when they are in a relationship.  For example, they unleash their bag of unlucky charms which cursed them from their last relationship hoping that their significant other will accept them.  Nine out of 10 that rarely happens and I will explain why.  Deceitful people brush their advertising promos underneath the rug and show who they truly are with nasty characteristic traits like clinginess, non-trustworthy ways and possessiveness.  By not practicing what you ...

BE who you ARE, not who the World wants you to BE By Mel

  Life is full surprises.   When you’re out there in the field you get a sense that all eyes are on you.   That oil to your engine is confidence .   Every ounce in your body engages you to stay well groomed, sell your image, build your vocabulary and practice on your art or goals in life.   That’s a very attractive trait to have and I will tell you why.   The love you put inside yourself shines externally which creates this invisible aura.   It creates offensive projections defined as the way you carry yourself or how you interact with people combine with defensive measures such as keeping your guard up and not allowing people to take advantage of you.   We all have our moments when we navigate in unfamiliar territory.   For example, giving your time and effort to someone who shortchanged you or getting laid off from a promising career just because you challenged the status quo.   Sometimes you feel betrayed but let me share som...

No Love in the Club The 90/10 Rule By Vaughn James

If you’re in your mid 30’s or just turned 40, you shouldn’t be in the club every weekend. Guys, you seriously don’t want to be the sleazy old man in the club. And ladies, you shouldn’t be out getting your drink on, leaving your fourteen year old teenager to watch your younger kids. The fact is, even when we were all young, the chances that men and women could find a meaning full relationship in a club was next to zero, but closer to 5%. “Wait a minute”, you may ask, “how can that be quantified?” I’ll explain. Simply, when we go out to the clubs, 90% of the men are trying to get with 10% of the women and 90% of the women are trying to get with 10% of the men. So, the likelihood that there will be any kind of real hookup is 5%, half of 10%. Besides, the club is a terrible place to meet someone. They are overly hyped by the radio station and promoters, who make it seem like your life will end if you don’t go to their club Friday and Saturday nights. Additionally, the mixed alco...
