Everyone has heard the myth when you die your life will flash before your eyes. People do not realize this happens on a daily basis; Moments in time from your past constantly flash before you because a certain instance, smell, or feeling flashes you back to a memory. |
Since we were little we have
been taught from our parents that we cannot talk to strangers, instilling this
fear that everyone is evil. But in reality they make up our world around
us, they are unavoidable. When walking on a busy street, sitting on a
bus, or sitting on a subway, it impossible not to see an unfamiliar face. People say they don't
trust anyone because the closest people in their lives have hurt them, yet we put
trust in strangers on a constant basis. The decisions we make every day deal with
a random person we have to face: As we get into a car, whether we are the driver or the passenger, we give trust to go where ever we need to be, automatically having faith another person won't crash into us; As
we ride on the Subway we believe we will make it to the next stop without being
harmed. Humanity isn't as broken as the news perceives it. The government wants
us to live in fear of other people instead of embracing the good
together. Constantly they instill dreadful memories from the past making
sure it will be taught in school and never forgotten to keep the fear alive. If
the news stopped promoting destruction and instead showed what good people were
doing for their communities would there be as much hate in the world as there is today?
Sick people kill and harm others because they crave attention for the media and
they get their type of “fame”. We should train the government like we train our
dogs—positive reinforcement works.
For the Sake of Humanity touches on a subject that we as a technology age tend to forget and be ignorant about; trusting humanity for what it is. LookIntoMyEyes, delves into that topic and brings a very opinionated view of how the world tells us to treat strangers. The author clearly believes that what we are told on how to view strangers is unnecessary. LookIntoMyEyes clearly makes a point that makes all that they were taught null and void. “The decisions we make every deal with a random person we have to face: As we get into a car, whether we are the driver or the passenger, we give trust to go where ever we need to be, automatically having faith another person won’t crash into us; As we ride on the Subway we believe we will make it to the next stop without being harmed.” With that statement, the author is telling us that we can trust humanity, that what we are taught or told can only be believed for so long, and that we should learn to believe what we want. LookIntoMyEyes text is very insightful.
ReplyDeleteNow, the blog itself sometimes just doesn’t make sense. I like that New York City is used as the ultimate background, seeing that N.Y.C is one of the most dangerous cities in the country, so it goes to further strengthen the theme of the text. Yet, I don’t understand the picture that was posted. Is it supposed to represent chaos and that we are supposed to trust chaos? Or is it representing that light at the end of the tunnel. If so, I believe another picture could have been used. The theme of using red for the text and red for the “light” is very gruesome to me. It makes me believe that humanity cannot be trusted, that all we can trust is that humanity will disappoint us. Red is a very violent color that also represents warning and caution. What should we be cautious of? The font is fine; it seems to symbolize a type writer which can exude the feeling of contemplation. Overall, the blog works, I would just possibly fix the color red because of what it usually symbolizes and how it contradicts what the author it trying to say.
