AI TOOLS6/15/2023 Blog Post #9In my opinion, AI has made English skills more valuable, as it can assist people in many different fields. However, it also has negative effects on young people because they may rely too much on AI tools and become lazy in their studies. Learning English literature is essential, even in the world of AI. When young people demonstrate their understanding of literature, they can use AI tools in a better way and make improvements based on their knowledge. But relying solely on AI and lacking knowledge of literature could have a detrimental impact on the abilities of young people. For example, a student who knows how to prompt ChatGPT can generate a more nuanced response that demonstrates an understanding of the American Revolution beyond what a textbook might provide.

Shylock: Good or Evil?5/29/2023 Blog Post # 8Shylock, a nuanced figure in "The Merchant of Venice," alternates between being the victim and the antagonist. For example, He suffers from prejudice and anti-Semitism from Christian characters like Antonio. After Lorenzo kidnaps his daughter Jessica, he demands a pound of flesh in what is perceived as a last-ditch effort to exact revenge. However, the discrimination and cruelty he has experienced is what motivates his harsh and spiteful actions.
In general, I think Shylock is more of a victim than a villain. He may be nasty and vindictive, but his actions are also driven by the prejudice and cruelty he has endured at the hands of the other characters

Minority Groups & Marginalization5/7/2023 Blog Post# 7Indigenous people, from my perspective, are marginalized groups in many societies around the world. So in this case, non-indigenous people would be dominant groups. For decades, indigenous people have been deprived of their lands and other opportunities. Opportunities such as employment, education, and so on are lacking in every field for indigenous people. In Canada, indigenous people have been colonized and have become victims of violent acts carried out by the police. This systemic discrimination has led to a significant wealth gap between Indigenous people and non-Indigenous people, as well as unequal access to resources and opportunities.

Visual vs Text4/26/2023 Blog Post # 6In the modern world, where visual communication predominates, people are becoming more engaged with it with time, and the idea of literary traditions is slowly dying out. Visual communication is more appealing since it seduces and engages the audience. With the help of visual communication, a writer can explain his ideas with just one image instead of utilizing numerous long, complex sentences. This is why a picture is worth a thousand words, but it doesn't mean that pictures can tell stories more effectively because a single image might convey multiple meanings, making it impossible for the reader to understand what the author is attempting to convey simply by looking at it. Moreover, the expense of visual communication is higher than other means. Visual communication is not suitable for general readers. To communicate effectively and clearly, visual communication is inadequate. As opposed to that, text traditions are a more practical means of communication, as by reading them, the reader can effortlessly comprehend the author’s stance. Like visual communication, literary traditions also have some drawbacks, as it is difficult for the author to write complex sentences, but using text as a means of communication is more convenient for the readers since it communicates more succinctly and clearly.

Photojournalist Responsibilities4/18/2023 Blog Post#5As I saw the image captured by the photojournalist in Sudan, I could plainly comprehend how miserable an act was executed by him. He erred by prioritizing the capture of the sight despite aiding the poor girl. His instinct serves as evidence of his ruthless nature. He is accountable for the consequences of his actions since he should not have trivialized the situation. However, as a human being, everyone makes mistakes, and it is better to fix them than to incite animosity towards them. He would not have become emasculated or decided to commit suicide to escape daily humiliation if the populace had educated him despite making him feel mortified.

Stereotyping4/17/2023 Blog Post #4As I watched the two videos, "ABC 20/20," about a stereotyping sociological experiment, I certainly comprehend how much racism black teens encounter. To prevent someone from sabotaging someone else’s private property is not justifiable, but this act should be imposed on the entire populace. Not only the instincts of a particular society should be targeted. As the video demonstrates, the populace contrasts in two different scenarios. This depicts how the majority of people's sentiments are based on animosity. Although this is only one source, there are many others from which we can deduce how society promotes stereotypes against black people to justify violence against them. The above social experiment best defines this.

Is An Apology Enough?4/15/2023 Blog Post#3The police brutality is directed against a lot of people. Countless innocent people have died. The suffering of the casualties continues. Given that the police continue to commit violent crimes, an apology is insufficient in these circumstances.
In the contemporary world, people frequently misinterpret what an apology means. The true meaning of an apology is to feel humiliated rather than resolve to make the same error again in the future. The phrase is used by the populace to just get good riddance. However, apologizing is insufficient unless the immoral person's primary objective is to specifically acknowledge what he did wrong, look forward to not inciting animosity, and make an effort to avoid offending anyone.

Police Misconduct4/14/2023 Blog Post#2 Police misconduct is any improper or unlawful action that takes place while they are carrying out their official responsibilities and may lead to bias or injustice. For instance, they receive training that encourages violence in society. They spend about eight hours training in conflict de-escalation. Numerous victims of police brutality have been reported, including Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and others. The system that forces police officers to be trained in this manner is the primary cause of police wrongdoing. For instance, cop trainer Dave Grossman has acknowledged that murder is the norm and that cops use violence as a strategy.
