Entry #6: How Environmental Factors Shape Your Character

-
From our childhood to adulthood, the enviroment we grow in (strict or nonrestrictive) dictates how we approach life, handle responsibilities, and interact with others. While both strict and nonrestrictive can have positive or negative outcomes, it's the balance and the way these environments are applied that shape our character. Children raised with strict rules often become responsible, disciplined, and goal oriented adults. They understand the consequences and importance of following rules. However, dispiline can also lead to anxiety and rebellion as the child grows, making it harder for them to adapt or express themselves freely.
Although children with little discipline may enjoy more freedom and creativity, they're often struggling with responsibilities and accountability as adults. They may even struggle with boundaries, setting goals, and respecting others. This leads to issues with entitlement and dependence. Both of these forms of parenting isn't ideal. A balanced approach, combining both ideas can help encourage growth and independence. Some people may look for structure as adults when growing up with none and etc. Our childhood really shapes us and the enviroment children grow up in is crucial to their growth. While it does not define us forever, finding balance in the way you displine is ideal.

    This text discusses how childhood environments influence individuals. It emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between strict and lenient parenting, suggesting that both styles can have varying effects based on their implementation. It also notes that adults might look for the opposite of their childhood experiences. Well thought out!

    Your four new entries look pretty good, Ruqia. Your writing flows well, and you have personality in your writing. Good visual appeal with images and layout. You are mostly developing your content well, but there are areas where you can analyze further and create more significance for your audience; you are a bit brief overall. Keep working the concepts of rhetoric to connect to your audience and keep them engaged. Keep it up!

Entry #EC. Food Inc.

I watched the documentary,Food Inc, and honestly it kind of messed with my head. I've heard stuff before about how our food is made, but seeing it all laid out like that hit different. The film shows how the food industry is run by just a few big companies and how much control they have over what we eat. The documentary goes into how animals are treated as well as the workers and even how the government doesn't really seem to be doing much about it. It made me realize how much is hidden from us on purpose and how often we are lied to. One of the parts that really stuck with me was seeing how animals are raised and processed. I already had an idea it wasn't so great, but watching it was honestly kind of heartbreaking and disturbing. The way animals are packed in tight spaces and treated like they're just machines was a hard watch. What's worse is how the workers are treated. People are risking their safety everyday so we can have affordable food. It's very upsett...

Entry #3: Frostbite

A crave of coolness overwhelms me and I reach for the tin lying in my bag. The small metal tin had opened with a loud snap. As I pry it back, a crisp, pleasant scent hit my face. In the tin lies a cluster of small, white circles. The fresh air surrounds me calling me to give in. I reach and grab one white circle and pop it into my mouth. Immediatly, a sharp, icy coolness rushes over my tongue. Almost like stepping into a cold shower, or going outside on crisp winter morning without a jacket.Its smooth surface rolling from cheek to cheek as it sits there dissolving slowly. I push it against the roof of my mouth,feeling the firm shape soften slightly. The urge to bite down grows stronger, my patience gets the best of me and I bite down. There's a loud, satisfying crunch. A rush of even stronger frost overwhelms my mouth. Similar to a gust of heavy wind biting at your face. The coolness continues and numbs my tongue.Leaving a frosty aftertaste in my mouth long after its gone. I exh...

Entry # 4: The Mystery of Our Ocean

The ocean remains one of the biggest mysteries today. It covers a large portion of our planet, yet scientists have only explored about 5%. It's terrifying to think that most of what's beneath us is still unknown. Things like: new species, ecosystems and unknown occurances. Though, even the parts we can see are full of surprises. One that I find strange is how the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans seem to touch without mixing,leaving a sharp line that seems surreal. However, there is an interesting reason behind this. The two oceans are very different. Their waters don't have the same amount of salt with different temperatures. A good example of this phenomenon is the Gulf of Alaska, where glacier water meets the ocean. Glacier water is fresh and light while the ocean is dense with saltwater. When the meet, they don't mix right away. This creates that seperation thats visible to the eye. A similar effect occurs with the Pacfic and Atlantic oceans. One side is warm and each h...
