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 somewhat lacking, the

Gender Equality: It goes both ways

Image
The question that gets asked too often are you a feminist? Er no I am not at least not currently Gender inequality the ever divisive and toxic area that must be encroached on, we have all by know heard the facts of inequality towards women. The lower pay, less likely to be hired into managerial positions or public office and the fact their careers are significantly hindered by having children. Not to mention the more social aspects like the sexualisation of women and the treatment of them in the criminal justice systems of the world. All these issues and the ones I haven’t mentioned are terrible and must be stopped with efforts from both genders. And this for me is where the issues for gender equality arise, you often see articles in the paper or speeches by influential peoples stating that it’s an issue for both genders yet make no attempt to real them in and make no mention of the inequalities toward men. The Guardian did an article which called inequality an unjust gulf b

Star trek Discovery: Pre-release opinion.

The first thing you should know is that I love star trek it is still my favourite franchise even after all these years and when I heard that a new show was in development I was ecstatic. Finally, I could enjoy a Trek TV show that had the great graphics of the JJverse movies that set was set in the prime timeline of the old TV shows instead of the Kelvin Timeline. First came the concept animation and at first I was a bit perplexed It looked like a cross between a federation and Klingon design and I first thought it could look like that since maybe if it was set in the late 24 th or early 25 th century it could be a collaboration between the two allied powers. But then I heard that it was confirmed that it was a prequel set 10 years before the original series (2255 in timeline) which disappointed me since one it was a prequel that killed the franchise last time and two since it really through the design into suspicion, like how can the ship look like it was designed
