Ads are one of the influential form of media out there since we see and interact with them daily. Thanks to the new boom in feminism, like many other aspects of our society, ads have evolved to appeal to the new crowd. In all of these ads a gender stereotype is being broken. In the Always and MAC advertisement women are being empowered to athleticism, In the Huggies ad we can see a man changing the baby's diaper rather then a women. These type of rule breaker ads are important as they illustrate concepts that may have been previously believed to be taboo.

As technology continues to grow and expand, so does social media's reach. So now its important to wonder whether this new culture is doing more harm then good. As a millennial and an avid social media users I have become accustomed to seen an uncountable number or beauty, fitness, and fashion accounts daily. And although I know most of the pictures I see on my timeline are edited or staged it makes me worried about younger generations and what kind of impact this will have on their identity. Teenagers are incredibly suggestible and malleable, so continuously seeing the same type of posts receive thousands of like will probably encourage them to post the same kind of content despite their personal interest. . Social Media also plays a great roll in our identity since it provide teens with a way to count how well like or popular you are based on your number of likes and comments. This kind of system will not only affect their identity but their self-confidence again.

In this collection of original short stories, Sergio Gaspar Mosqueda takes his young readers through some of their worst nightmares, from old scary witches to haunted schools. One of my favorite things about this book is that it has some of the classic scary creatures that we all know like vampires. However you can clearly see the distinction between what Mexican kids find scary and what American kids would find funny. For example there is a short story in which a priest returns from hell. In Mexican culture, stories like this is what is considered scary due to the heavy catholic influence. However, in american culture this kind of story would probably not sell well among kids since it is a bit more crude than what is normally seen.

As a native Spanish speaker I often take for granted how beautiful and complex my language is. I also often forget how little I know about the origins of the Spanish language. Although I knew Spanish originated from Latin I never understood how it transformed into the language we know today. This article really helped answered all of my questions since it went into so much detail for example I didn't know there was different typed of Latin and that all these separations eventually lead to the languages we know today. Another thing I found interesting was that the tenses that we know today didn't occur until late into the development of the language.

Drawing has always been one of my favorite things to do, however whenever I do make art I prefer to stick to pen and ink and sometimes colored pencils. So when Mr. Gomez, my art teacher asked me to create a scratch art piece I was hesitant. First off because I have never done anything like it and second because rather than shading dark to light you had to scratch from light to dark. Although that may not seem like a drastic change after you are use to doing something a certain way it can be difficult to change the way you view it. Creating a piece like this has made me excited rather than frightful to try other unconventional methods of art.

Although living in the suburbs has it perks, one of its weakness is its lack of nature-esque settings. However we decided to visit the park that we believed had the most natural landscape. I knew sitting in silence would be a challenge however I was excited to see if this would make me more aware of my surroundings and help me notice things I might of not paid attention to before. During my hour in silence I realized how much I used my voice to communicate with other people, and it made me wonder more about what it would be like if I could never use my voice to communicate with others. I have always believed that our voice is an essential part to our personality, however after not being able to talk for just an hour I learned that its not important how you communicate but what you say.

Since a young age I have played a number of different sports, from soccer to water polo. However most of the sports I have played have been very physically demanding, something ping pong is not. Despite this it was interesting to discover that despite its lack of need for physical strength it requires even more agility and concentration then some of the more demanding sports I have played before. Ping Pong is also I sport I wouldn't normally gravitate towards but since first playing it has made me want to be more open to trying not only new sports but trying out other activities that may be out of my comfort zone.

Although I don't attend many school sporting events, I was really looking forward to watching our junior and senior girls play football and watching the boys embarrass themselves trying to cheer. One of the things I noticed was that the culture seemed a lot more laid back then at the normal games even though the girls were taking the game just as serious as the football players would. Another aspect of the culture I noticed was lack of school of spirit, of course there was plenty of people supporting their friends however the cheering seemed divided, compared to a normal football game where the crowd cheers together for the team as a whole and not just individual players.

Reading a Bilingual Children's Book: My name is/ Me llamo Gabriela

In this colorful children's book we get to learn a little bit more about the internationally renowned and Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriela Mistral. In this dual-language book she illustrates her upbringing in Chile and what inspired her to begin writing. As a native Spanish speaker it was really fun to read a book in both Spanish and English because a lot of the time it's difficult to translate certain Spanish language or phrases into English and vice versa. My favorite thing about this book is that it joins English and Latin cultures since many first generation Latin-Americans don't speak Spanish but their parents don't speak English and with the help of bilingual books like this one children and parents can both enjoy the same book.

Although I have lived in Riverside my entire life, and only a 15 minute drive from downtown I had only ever seen the Mission Inn twice. I had always assumed downtown Riverside was just like the rest of the city, boring and uneventful, but visiting The Mission Inn made me realize that there might be more to this city than what meets the eye. One of my favorite parts was seeing all the historic items that the Mission Inn housed and learning a little bit more about Riverside as well. For example the founder of the Mission Inn use to have two Macaw birds that greeted guest as they walked in, and although those original birds have passed away now there's two new birds who still greet those who visit the inn.
