Part 1
1. Media and Entertainment Industries
The topic of media and entertainment is something I take great interest in, as it has played a big role in
all of our lives whether we know it or not. The topic of media and entertainment is one that encompasses
a lot of different subject areas, particularly television, movies, music, and video games. It has always been
my dream to work within this industry, and it's no secret that I am very passionate about this industry.
2. The end of the World
The end of the world I feel is something that has fascinated everyone in the past at one point or another.
There are many things that could bring about the end of our world, both caused by humans, and not.
These include things like pollution, or a meteor cataclysm. It's fascinating to me because everything
will come to an end eventually, even time, according to modern scientific theory.
3. Politics and Social movements
Politics are very interesting to me as they effect every aspect of our daily lives, and give us guidelines as
to what we should and shouldn't do. Social movements challenge these laws, and/ or the fundamental
beliefs o certain individuals.

This article took a look at the recent spark within the gaming community otherwise known as "gamergate".
It goes over the two opinions on the state of gaming journalism and proves that no matter what side you're
on, every gamer is a member of the same community.
2. The end of the World
http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/12/world/ocean-trash-pollution/
This article sums up the threats of the worlds total accumulation of plastic. People often seem to think that
there are massive islands of garbage in the ocean, that have collected because of the oceans currents, but
this article explains that the ocean is more of just a "plastic soup", which ends up being far worse. As it is
near impossible to clean up, and hurts animals much more. On this track it seems that the end of the
world cold come from accumulation of things such as plastic before anything else.
3. Politics and Social movements

This article sums up the recent millions march protest in New York. The march demonstrates how
social movements such as peacefull protests can be used to change views and opinions, eventually leading to change in politics.
