“This I Believe” Ideas:

After looking over and listening to some of the previous broadcasts on “This I Believe” I have several ideas for my “This I Believe” podcast. My first idea would be to cover my personal stance on heaven vs. hell. Although I have a very agnostic view when it comes to religion, I would love to share my theory on where it is we go after death.

My second idea would be that people and citizens of greater age should begin to listen to those of younger generations and vice versa. It often feels like there is this great divide between generations and almost a “competition” of sorts as to who is making the greatest impact. One of the greatest gifts in life is not only knowledge, but simply listening and I think this could change our world for the better. 

Passion Blog Ideas:

Last semester each week I wrote my passion blog on different fashion trends. I covered pants, jackets, shoes, and even masks over the weeks and I truly enjoyed giving my own perspective on what I had observed in the world around me. 

I think that I am going to keep with this topic but I’m also playing around with changing it this semester to critiquing films. With the Oscars coming up this semester I think it could be fun to watch movies and films that are likely to be nominated and then critique them as to if they could or could not win in a given category. 

Civic Issues Blog:

My first idea when I heard we would be writing on current civic issues would simply be the effect of social media in current nation/worldwide problems and politics. Whether it’s Instagram, Facebook, Snap chat, the sharing of ideas is often a huge factor in many factors whether they are true or false.

My second idea would be on the educational system of America vs. other more successful countries. Many are unaware of the many problems with the American Educational system and I think it would be really interesting to look more into what can be changed to better it in the future.
