 When you wake up in the morning, do you grab your phone and go straight to social media?

 There are a lot of people who do that on a daily basis and don’t even notice it.

 We are so stuck on what we receive from social media that sometimes we begin to think of it as the truth. The article “Americans Who Mainly Get Their News on Social Media Are Less Engaged, Less Knowledgeable by BY AMY MITCHELL, MARK JURKOWITZ, J. BAXTER OLIPHANT, and ELISA SHEARER. Where it states” ...These U.S. adults, for instance, tend to be less likely than other news consumers to closely follow major news stories, such as the coronavirus outbreak and the 2020 presidential election.”. 

This is showing us the news that is reposted on social media and we began to believe that it is true.

 We see others posting about their opinion and we get caught up with other people agreeing, thinking that they know all the facts, in all honesty, no one does. 

This statement also shows us that we rely more on people’s statements on social media than the news “Overall, this group tends to pay less attention to the news than those who rely on most other pathways.”. 

Nowadays we are like fishes and the fake news is the fishing rod. They are slowing rilling us in with news that is false information. 


In the article “How Social Media Has Changed How We Consume News” Nicole Martin, explains how social media is our main source of information to go to. 

She says “Most people will just scroll through their newsfeed and stumble upon relevant news content but just read the headlines or a short video clip of the piece. 

An average visitor will only read an article for 15 seconds or less and the average video watch time online is 10 seconds.”. 

Sometimes instead of learning and reading the full information, we just watch a video or read the headline of it, then start to judge the story with our opinion and others. 


Even though social media has changed our way of getting information, it not just only that, it's the way we live our lives as well. 

The article “How Social Media is Reshaping Today’s Education System” by Lori Wade, explains in her article that the school system uses social media, and it can be helpful and not helpful. 

When she statements “The benefits of social media in the education process doesn’t have to stop at the teacher-student relationship.” 

She told us that we are building a bond with our teachers through social media which is a good thing. 

Also, it can be bad to have social media during the school process a lot of drama can happen with teachers and students. 

Therefore social media has a very big impact on our everyday life be careful what you let your brain believe, because it all may just be fake.

    I really like the way you started. It makes me want to read your article. However, it looks like you have a lot of spaces between your sentences and your font is pretty small what makes your article hard to read.

 Anhala Woodbine 1101 English  9/20/2020 Is Cheerleading An Actual Sport?  When you think of cheerleading, do you ever think of it as a sport?   I know I do, most people don't think of it as a sport, but it plays so many roles. When cheerleading first started, it was all men in the 1800s. They didn't allow women until 1923. At first, cheerleading was not a sport just a crowd cheering on a football team. Over time it started to grow larger, they started to teach students more complicated routines, stunts, and jumps. This event made All-Star a sport. They begin to focus more on competition and athletic training. Cheerleaders do so much we barely notice, they carry their teammates as they do flips, or even throw them up in the air.

When it comes to competition cheerleading, you have to make sure you are sharp that your dance and stunts are way ...

I think Thomas Edison didn't invent the light bulb. The idea of a light bulb has been mentioned long before Thomas Edison was born. Alessandro Volta made the first practical method of generating electricity. After he did that he showed his Invention to Humphry Davy. he was an English chemist and inventor, he was the first person in the world to light the electric lamp by connecting voltaic piles to charcoal electrodes. Over time his invention started to improve. His invention wasn't all that good. The light will burn out quickly or it may have to be Bright.
