So even though my semester of my first year seminar class in 2021 concludes, it doesn't mean that the blogging will. This class taught me so much, taught me things I have never heard about in the 18 years I've been on Earth. Blogging is not only enjoyable but also gives me the chance to express one of my First Amendment rights, Freedom of Speech.
Honestly, if MLK was still alive, he would have a post every other day that expanded on his ideal dream to change the way things were back then. I feel like it could have attracted a lot more attention but that would be if EVERYONE was on the internet and followed his blog. He would have told the world about the changes that needed to be made and whether or not he was planning another protest or march(to get the word out and attract more people to help). The only downside about the internet is that everyone of all races would have socials like this and some would be against it and eventually plan to attack King's protest and hurt not only him but potentially thousands of others. In addition to MLK, Malcolm X and many other Black influential leaders would have blogs and if anything create one big blog so all their powerful ideas and words are on one page.
The internet expands the horizon about getting word out about marches like Black Lives Matter just like the Civil Rights Movement and "The March". Also similar to the past, when there were marches and protests, it wasn't only Blacks that participated. People from different skin colors and backgrounds came out and supported both movements.
All history aside, blogging had its pros and cons. Pro, I get to express my freedom of speech, freedom of the press and much more. I also get to blog whatever topic I want whenever I want. The blogging doesn't have to stop once FYS is over. A con is that there are times where I'll have a blog to post but get a brain fart and forget everything I was going to say. Especially the really important details to make the post spicy. I enjoyed being able to research past historical cases and learn about all the people that made the US what it is today, good and bad.With the internet and social media starting to become a big form of communication within the politicians and Americans, one sentence can turn into a social media war. In my opinion, blogging can both hurt and help the constitutional law. Today's day and age, politicians are having a hard time making good decisions for the good of the people and the "United" states isn't looking so united right now. But I'm praying that mayors and governors etc. make the best decision for the people while keeping the Amendments in mind. In addition to politicians, we the people also have a say but our opinions will clash with other that could cause conflict.
Dear future students, I recommend not slacking off when it comes to blogs because honestly you could get caught up with one and get so into detail with it that you forget about all the others. Don't be like me and procrastinate but also be like me and have fun while you're at it. It's worth it, trust me :)
