Howdy folks, I hope you're having an amazing day. Welcome back to another blog assignment. I am sad to inform you that his is ten out of fifteen. We're almost done, I will miss you Sabatino. In this assignment, I am to answer some thought provoking questions about an American zeitgeist. One that I'll choose to write about on my research project page.
When given this assignment, my mind was already swimming with ideas, thus giving me stress. I believe that I've dwindled down the ideas to one. But I can't ever be sure with my complex thought process. Anyways, I think this blog should help me know exactly what I'll be researching. Let's found out shall we. RESEARCH PROJECT Q&A 1) What is the zeitgeist topic I want to research? My goal is to write about the wanting to be famous. Now I know that is a very broad topic. But I believe that fame is a very relevant topic. Especially nowadays with social media and terminology like clout, cancel culture, influencer, traditional media, personality and more. I want to mainly focus on the YouTube platform itself because YouTube has given plenty of people easier access to something once so difficult to achieve, fame. 2) What is the primary source I will use to begin my research? Currently, I'm leaning toward using some YouTuber's, another relevant term, stories. 3) Who does the zeitgeist topic impact the most? The youtube platform has impacted us millennials in positive and negative ways. The main theme of my research project. 4) When did this zeitgeist emerge? 2005, was the year that YouTube arrived on the scene. A platform that was once looked down upon by traditional media, is now the world's second largest search engine. That story resonates with so many of the platform's users. 5) Where (consider community) does this zeitgeist impact the most? To be specific, YouTube headquarters is located in San Bruno, California. And most of the YouTube community are located in Los Angelis, Mexico, Brazil, New York, India, and etc. The YouTube community is so vast due to the fact that all you need is a camera to start working for YouTube. 6) Why does this zeitgeist exist? Here's the actual purpose for YouTube. Now in my humble opinion, history has shown us that in generations before us, millennials. There have always been events, groups, and specific people who have impacted this world in some shape or form. I believe that YouTube exists so that events, groups, and specific people from the millennial generation can impact this world next. YouTube already existing for over a decade, has already allowed some to do so. 7) How does the zeitgeist topic make me feel (impact on your being)? I am a YouTuber, I've been uploading to the platform for fours years already. And recently, I have taken it seriously. i have sixteen videos on my channel and over two hundred sixty subscribers. YouTube is my job. And when I say that, people ask me how much do I make. If you're referring to paper, nothing. But I make people smile, laugh, and forget about a bad day. Now that's worth more than anything money can buy. I'm here to entertain, inspire, and impact the lives of many. YouTube allows me to do so. 8) How does the zeitgeist topic make me think (impact on your knowing)? I can't find myself working for anyone else. My mind is always racing with stories, songs, art, designs, and messages. If my hands aren't on a camera, if I'm not creating some kind of film with other creatives, and if I'm not impacting someone's life, I've failed. I'm a creator, it's in my blood. 9) How does the zeitgeist topic make me want to make change (impact on your doing)? For those of you who don't already know, I have a dark past. And if it wasn't for Christianity, I would of already been on the run or incarcerated. But Christianity was a religion forced upon me, and not too long ago, I had a dangerous mentality. I was done with following God and I was ready to hurt someone. But during this time period, I never gave up on this weird thing I'd do with my little cousins, create videos online. When I did this, I would always feel happy, I would forget about the dark times I was in. And when I'd receive feedback, I'd want to create more videos. Well, four years later, here I am. Still creating videos. A TERM FROM OUR DISCOURSE Those last three questions focused on a term we use in our English Composition I discourse. Being, doing, and knowing. Being is about your wellbeing and spirit, doing is about your action and body, and knowing is about your knowledge and mind. Just a little something we learned in class.
