She says that a story's potency determines everything about it, including how, when, by whom, and how many times it is repeated. The conventional issue with her statements is that, while they may not be entirely true, they are unfinished. They merge into one narrative.

When anything is based on a stereotype, it produces a one-sided narrative from which people are never able to escape.  Both Johns were born and raised in the same neighborhood. They were buddies as children but were estranged as they grew older. Both of them attend schools, b...

Blog deep dive: Is my smartphone hurting me?

 For the first article,   a fact checker of Jean Twenge's work, made by Sarah Rose Cavanagh. She shows out data flaws Twenge included in her  article. In the article, Sarah said, "Moreover, there is good reason to think that smartphones and social media may have positive effects as well as negative effects." For example, our smartphones can help us stay more connected to our peers and social life. Smartphones can help teens can find other teens interested in the same social movements, connect with teens across the globe on interests like music and fashion. As a teenager that uses her phone quite frequently, I can say that social media definitely helped me find mutuals that had the same interests as me like, art and fashion.  In the second article, the author Jean, said the complete opposite. Jean said, but at the generational 12 level, when teens spend more time on smartphones and less time on in person social interactions and...

Sherlock Holmes, Fairies, and the Devil Baby of Hull House

 1. The ways he failed in his investigative work, the first of which was that they may have provided phony photos. This would lead to something that they would be unable to resolve because they lack the necessary evidence. also, the problem that Canon Doyle did not show up. He decided to do something that would not solve the problem but would make it more serious. The last thing he did incorrectly was that they had numerous reasons to assume Elsie was the photographer, but they were convinced that she was not qualified to draw the fairy photographs. 2. Jane finds out that many of the women had been through one or more devastating incidents in their lives. They found they had no authority in their family, since the men wielded the most power. This left the ladies generally voiceless, so they utilized the Devil Baby tale to get their voice.  3. I agree with Doyle because, while not everything can be verified with solid proof. everything has an explanation. There are so...
