#6 internet/technology

 Social Media and its entirety. Social media has been the biggest thing the younger generations talk about. The average person owns some sort of iPhone, Samsung, tablet, TV, and many more. Newer technology comes out and the market wants to take it and run to try out the widgets and gadgets it provides. Social media had a huge turnout once Facebook became huge so the elder generation took to it because it was the first site where you could connect with friends and family and keeping them posted on what is happening in your life. Whereas when snap chat, Instagram, and Twitter were founded millennials and gen X’ers hopped in on that feed. These sites then became widely popular and used on average of 6+ hours a day from the teenager market. Tik Tock became a huge content creation site to spread creativity, awareness, and talents worldwide. This app has a wide diverse variety for a target market reaching new numbers every day. Content creation has become one of the most wanted jobs to become an influencer or content creator for youth. I am not sure if the positives outweigh the negatives when it comes to social media. There are a lot of ups and downs when it comes to platforms because people can be cruel. Cons of social media are bullying, trafficking, inappropriate content, and so on. Where some pros to content creation are it promotes creativity and innovation, a diverse and well-rounded platform. The internet is a tough space but it has a lot of upsides to it such as researching information at the push of a button.

#8 American conservative/antiwar

   The American conservative and Antiwar.com are two vastly different sources and I respect the author's opinions on these topics. These sources are different compared to CNN, BBC, or NBC.  Each story on these resource sites has strong opinions on many stories happening right now.  Antiwar.com and the American conservative are not resources that I've heard much about therefore it comes into question the credibility and reliability. When looking at antiwar.com it is a super chaotic website it is not organized. Whereas, the American Conservative website was well put together with links, pictures, interviews, and much more to get key information. When reading deep diving into these websites I found common biased parts that indicate a preference for a certain political group. I believe since they have a strong poll for one way or another thinking style that must be why these articles don't grow popularity on search engines or credibility of sharing it.  In the United States o

#2 The U.S. Supreme Court

The U.S. Supreme Court was created in 1789. The videos presented were very educational showing the process of which it conducts legal business. The Supreme court has to oversee if laws are constitutional or not. The Court is making sure that the American people are promised fair and equal justice under the law. The Supreme Court also has the option to hear or dismiss any case.  The part in the video that caught my attention the most is how lengthy the process is to pass anything. Once judges have voted it normally takes up to 4 weeks to program a detailed draft outline of the opinion made on the case. When it comes to difficult cases, there is an immense amount of responsibility and pressure on the judge to make a judgement call after overseeing all details. To interpret the constitution then make a ruling that the state, congress, and the president have to abide too.   Once the Supreme Court was first established it appointed the first 6 justices in 1789 whereas in 2021 we have 9 ju
