Change and the World

    http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/change_the_world.html
As I sit at my desk about to start the next episode of Pretty little liars, a show I have only just started watching, I start to look at my twitter feed and see so many thinks happening, my friends talking about relationships and the fun of being students, MPs telling their members what to think, government ministers who have forgotten how to think, doctors caught between their ethical duty and drive and being abused by a man who knows they will choose their patients over themselves, I see people fighting not only to end racism, gender inequality and their religion but staving off attacks from people that judge groups by the actions of a few. Atop all this scientist, politician, businessman and citizen clashing over how 'save' our planet and species.

I sit and I wonder, is this my generation?  am I a member of the generation whose legacy is mobile and armchair activism, a generation that spends more time debating the validity of the term Pansexual and how many genders there are rather than the problem of climate change and dwindling resources.

Well, this has to change, there are so many debates and issues and crises happen at once that each issue is being drowned out by other ones. In this world where people are shouting over who's a better singer or how slow service is at a shop or hospital, in a world that petitions have been invalidated you need to fight for your cause.

We as one world has to fight climate change, as one group we need to fight for the NHS and as one group gun control has to be fought for, whatever issue you think needs correcting whether that be student fees, doctors hours, gun control, police brutality poverty or human rights abuse fight for it do petitions, join pressure groups or form one. stand up and as a group tell your council, government or the world about it.

Mass Effect: Andromeda 18 Months on– A Good Game Trapped in a Great Shadow.

       We have all seen the reviews, we have all seen the memes and we have all seen the fallout. Mass Effect Andromeda (ME:A) the latest game in one of the greatest franchises in gaming history was utterly slaughtered by critics and fans Alike. Following the reputation of the original trilogy, a great set of trailers. People had their hopes up. People expecting a game on the level of the divine majesty of ME:2, or the very least the set up of ME:1, were disappointed with bad reviews and a buggy game. Now 18 months on after the patches and near collapse of Bioware I play ME:A for the first time to see if this game deserves the flack it got, to decide whether poor Management decisions, a bad game or high fan expectations is the reason we may never get a conclusion to this story or even another addition to the Mass effect title. Animation and Graphics. Now one of the first things I noticed, within the first few hours, was that the animations were so...

YouTube's ADPOCALYPSE: the consequences.

Image
I am sure you have heard of it but for those that don't know, What was/is the Adpocalyse? Well, in a sentence it was a series of "improvements" to allow advertisers to pull or customise where their ads would and wouldn't be placed, to allow their ads to be better received and more effective. This did not turnout as planned, what actually happened is that many prominent and not so prominent YouTubers found they had a drop in ads and massive drops of ad revenue. This change was obviously taken very poorly, A for the lack of warning given to creators and B the rather inconsistent and some would say unfair drops of income, Some would experience a drop of 80% in earnings were some would find no drop at all for very similar content. There was some serious outrage that i am sure you have seen. The fallout While it has taken some time for the effects to be clear, In my honest opinion the Adpocalypse could be the end of Youtube for several reasons. It...

Plagiar-what? My tips on how to avoid plagiarism

Image
For me when I was in high school and College all I need to do to avoid plagiarism was not to copy and paste, I was not prepared for how complex the task of writing a 1500 word assignment without plagiarising was. when I was given that don't plagiarise talk in my induction I didn't realise how hard it was when I got my assignment back.  So what is plagiarism? Well according to my university Anglia Ruskin plagiarism is defined as "Plagiarism is when you present someone else’s work, words, images, ideas, opinions or discoveries, whether published or not, as your own. It is also when you take the artwork, images, creative practice or computer-generated work of others, without properly acknowledging where this is from or you do this without their permission".  This definition simply means that any information that you find and repurpose for your assignments,that isn't common knowledge for the subject area, must be referenced correctly in your institution...
