What Impact Do Journalists Truly Have On The Social World?
Society6

I am driven by the intriguing question that often catches journalists in their first moments of work. Why sign up to be a said, "Journalist"?

From the start of my education, I primarily took a liking to the english subject. It pleased me to see how my words attribute to how the brain takes in and reacts to certain information. When people pick up my writings or read my posts, it is interesting to see their reaction, in addition to seeing if they gained anything from what I said. That brings me to the reason why I want to find out my importance in the developing world before entering the realm of journalism. In the future, it is my hope that I will discover how one headline post can influence an entire demographic.

Words make up our entire world, both in verbal communication and in technology. They're the formula to our captions on pictures, and tweets on Twitter. With all of this power, comes a person who is on the front-lines of spreading words, a journalist. Persons in this profession have the power to express their opinions, motions, sanctions on almost any piece of material that gets sent to the newsroom.

Could journalists be the most powerful human beings in the world? I think so.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
