I started paying more attention to the news when it started, and I think I started to pay more attention to political issues. ]]> 2021-10-27 01:04:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jchilton8/mkqgquwqhsp7aa57/wish/1846684312 evelynscalingbrown https://padlet.com/jchilton8/mkqgquwqhsp7aa57/wish/1846685657 I have always been interested in science and what not, but ever since 7th grade I have been extremely into the fight against Climate Change.

I hadn't realized how many topics are discussed and how deep these discussions go.

I learned a lot about it through social media and the news, especially because I had a lot more time on my hands to learn about it with the pandemic.]]> 2021-10-27 01:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jchilton8/mkqgquwqhsp7aa57/wish/1846696775 bdibenedetto24 https://padlet.com/jchilton8/mkqgquwqhsp7aa57/wish/1846697117 Recently I watched a documentary about the harlem cultural festival, which took place the same year as woodstock. It was interesting to see something nobody had really known about, taken over by the media coverage of Woodstock, causing it to almost be lost in the past. Through the perspective of some of the children who attended it, this documentary shed lights on the effects of music within children, and communities. Through film you can see the impact that representation in music, and media had on these children, and attendees.

Entering high school I knew little about anything outside my own small bubble, but in class discussions created deeper thinking and connections with historic events and modern events. I began discussing things outside of class, and began realizing that my views were not based on evidence but assumptions. ]]> 2021-10-27 01:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jchilton8/mkqgquwqhsp7aa57/wish/1846698858 bdushime23 https://padlet.com/jchilton8/mkqgquwqhsp7aa57/wish/1846700269 I had the honor to attended Seeds of Peace this summer.
