BQ Thoughts

What I have recently done for my big question isn’t much work and think that I need to work on it very more often. Although I haven’t put in work for my question I do think of it often when I have a conversation that is related to the topic of the question and sometime when I am spaced out. I feel that I end up talking or thinking about my question when I am not in school and am at home just laying down or when watch a movie because then I start to think about my life and my next step onto accomplishing what I want.

My Online Me

When I have searched myself on google, safari, yahoo and bing I found a picture of myself. As I scrolled more I was able to find my name on a comment that I had commented on for Dr. Preston’s post, I found my Facebook account along with my Twitter account. Although I didn’t find no more information, I think that what is under my name is accurate enough to find who I am or just my social media accounts. It can reflect as my best self because I don’t have inappropriate posts or things on the internet and feel that it is appropriate to say that my name isn’t used somewhere else and it is clean.

It’s My Life

We can manage the choices in our life that we can control by doing what we need to do or get done. Some of us choose a decision that we think is right to do but other might not think the same and can find it offensive. The decision that we choose can make us powerful and successful by doing the right thing. Another thought can be on how it benefits us and base on how we plan to show it.

Good Morning

Three habits that I have onto getting ready is waking up at 6:40am every day, brush my teeth and wash my face and lastly get my headphones. Some of my habits that I am trying to stop is rushing through the morning and being late and another habit is sleeping early at night to be wide awake in the morning. Two habits that I want to start doing is trying to wake up at 6am instead of 6:40am and finally to place all my thing in one spot so I don’t waste time trying to look for them.

Reading Me

I usually don’t end up reading at home. I don’t read at home often l there is times where I am to tired, stressed out or busy and run out of time. I also think that I have a better understanding when I am reading at school than at home. At school I can be reading through the loudness and be well concentrated. At home I can also read as well through the loudness it is just that I get distracted fast and end up not reading.

We are living in the Brave New World

From the interview of Aldous Huxley over life in the brave new world he explains how life has changed us due to population, media/propaganda and drug addiction. In his interview he explains how population has had a rapid increase throughout the generations. Compared to now there is a huge growth of people all around the world which has lead the government to take a bigger responsibility. Between us and the media/propaganda now as of television it seems that we have been brainwashed from what we see on television like for example the advertisements that are being published. Over organization in technology has brought a great amount of people to start using technology. It seems that we have an drug addiction to what we have now. This type of addiction is also within drugs and the technical use that have been invented.
