Aylan, the Syrian Boy



   This story is a newsworthy story. It has proximity,  location,  prominence and most importanly human interest. The fact that the story is a true story based on sorrow and reality,  the story is news worthy.  It is appealing to our emotions which makes is controversial. The images are devasted to be publicised. Reporters in charged of taking out these pictures are heartless. However,  if it was not because of this images, I wouldn't be here writing about this. 
   It was something ethical from reporters taking out the pictures,  nonetheless,  where are the moral values? This was not the appropriate way of showing the world the different wars between countries. Posters or information could have had replaced the images.  
   There is something important that highlights the story.  The first picture shown is where Aylan has a beautiful smile.  What this means is that this little boy had hopes for life. He looks happy. This specific picture says that this happiness and hopes Aylan had were the ones he should had have as a young man. His wings to fly were cut off in the blink of an eye. This image has a lot of sense and power that it was a good idea having it first. 
   What i want to take out of this is that life can be taken without explanations.  Life can be taken away from innocent people and yet were are still with crossed hands.  We do not need to wait for this images to be posted so that we take action. Where is our human interests and values? Where is our moral obligation? Think about the possibilities you can give to the innocent children. Act now before you lament forever...

P. S.  This is a really sad and devastating story.

Politics and Media in Belize

Hello everyone.
   This "Politics and media in Belize" is a problem with a lot of doupts. We have the UDP and the PUP which are the main political parties in Belize. Fortunately, the differences between the parties are seen. By the fact that this differences are publicised, Belizeans are taking advantage of it. What do i mean with this? Simply. Media is taking the information given and manipulating it for the people to see "lies."
   However,  Belize's news media have differences as well.  If this news media supports the PUP,  it is obvious that negative points are going to be thrown to the opposite party.  This is vice versa.
   Now,  what role are we playing in all this? First of all, it's us putting the governmemnt. Secondly,  it is us deciding what it taken to the political leaders. Thirdly,  the government's response is based on what was taken. Unfortunately, media is the one incharge of bringing and taking information. What happens is that all this information is manipulated and carried away with falseness. For this reason,  sensationalism is created. There are videos, news, and memes out there giving negative views about our goverment.  Consequently,  this is the reason why Belize's goverment do not prosper.
   To conclude,  i want for you to ask this question to your self,  are we applying what is being said or do we want to change for a betterment? Remember, it is our Belize and our future depending on false information. Our government is not governing appropriately and therefore the solution to the problems are in our hands. Think about it.

Please feel free to leave a comment.  Thank you.

The truth

    As seen in the advertisement above about Maybelline mascara, the product portrays a fake form of advertisement where women are drawn into the conclusion that they will look like the model. However, women fail to realize that all is protaganda. From experience, I can tell you that results are not good.
    For instance, this effect causes false illusion and therefore has a negative effect on the company brand. Despite the negative effects on the company, entreprenuers do not acknowledge how bad the company will look to the world.
    For this reason, we need to be aware of the false information given to us. As seen, media plays an important role to propagate all kinds of products. It's up to us to educate ourselves or fall into false advertisements.

To post or not to post?

Hello!
So the question is, to post or not to post? Let me begin with this. Social media is not bad. It's the way you use it.
For example, I am a 24/7 girl in social media. I use Facebook, messenger, whatsapp, Instagram, snap chat and tweeter. I do post every weekend and share memes everyday. I am on the chatting everyday. That, of course, do not mean I am paying attention to every comment or chat. In fact.. I am aware of everything being posted. So then, I view social media as a way of sharing, enjoying and all the good qualities it can have.
However, our intentions are not to have misunderstandings with anyone. Majority of times is jealousy, anger, and fear of being unhappy on social media that can affect you. And should not chance the way you are. Yes, it is important to know what all you post and share. But never chance the mentality you have towards social media. 
Enjoy life and be happy. Share good times and memories with your friends. If someone commented or tagged you something inappropriate, there is always the option of blocking. 
Therefore, be positive about social media life and enjoy laughters with your friends.
