potential areas of interest

contextual studies lesson with 2 - 3 potential areas of interest 

Having or showing the capacity to develop into something in the future. 

Social media - How it changes from the beginning to the present. From the first social media and how that inspired others to create their own media and what's it done for everyone in both good and bad. Also how it helps other and what good it was for the future.

Tv show - how I think it changed genre, race and sexuality. How it first started with the different genre's and how people view race and sexuality. Like Ellen Degeneres who show called Ellen was the first main character to come out as gay as well in real life. With genre from the start it was sitcoms, crimes and romance then later science fiction like Star Trek how completely different it was and creative.

music? How music started and what each genre means. Like Country, songs are usually based on the person who sings it like Dolly Parton wrote the song Jolene which is based on a women names Jolene who was trying to steal Dolly's husband whilst she was away. 


Out of the three, I ended up choosing social media. At first, I was going to relate it with the LGBT community but it needed it to be related to are FMP I decided to change it and base it on the paranormal and the question is since social media becoming more active has it improve the paranormal community or given more skeptics. Also, I would like to find out if social media has made a sceptical a believer or a believer to a sceptic, Because with social media you can do a lot and fake thing so it might make people believe in the paranormal more less or maybe it just makes everyone a bit of both.

The reason I choose media and paranormal is because I use a lot of social media and the paranormal is that I am a big believer in the paranormal and so far social media hasn't changed my view on the paranormal. Even though I am a big believer I'm not that gullible, I don't believe in everything I see if I've got a feeling it's fake or can tell it's fake. 

But what I do think if on social media if you follow the right people like for me I follow the Ghost adventure and the Tennessee Wraith Chasers on twitter, they are both ghost hunter teams that I watch and truly believe everything they catch on video although some things they hear I don't so I can't completely believe in all their findings but most everything else I am convinced is the paranormal. Why I follow them is because what they do is instead of automatically assuming everything is ghost related, they will investigate it and debunked if it's easily explained. It's because of this that makes me think if you follow the right people it helps people to become more of a believer or at least have more of an open mind.
