The Dark Side of the Internet: 5 Ways to Protect Your Kids and Yourself
The internet is a vast, wondrous place. It can bring us information and entertainment on a whim. Despite this convenience, the internet is also home to many predators and criminals. Along with the innocent chats, videos and games are dark corners of the World Wide Web inhabited by stalking creeps and sexual predators. You wouldn't leave your child unattended in a public space without supervision, so why would you let them explore these places alone?

Munger Hall Debacle
Protest Performance Element The premise of my protest performance element revolves around the prevalent issues that cropped up upon the announcement of the implementation of the Munger Hall dormitory planned for UC Santa Barbara. The protest would take place on UCSB’s campus during a typical orientation event for incoming students, really targeting the fresh faces entering the student body as they’re getting their first real introduction to the campus scene. The head organizer of this protest would be dressed similar to that of the tour leaders (although not actually affiliated with the program) who are responsible for guiding new students all across campus. The head protester would be accompanied by a group of around fifteen to twenty individuals all in on the protest as well, consisting of adults posing as parents and younger individuals as students. The “parents” would be dressed in varied but regular clothing while the students would be adorned with the exact same, stand-out attires. The “students” would all possess UCSB soccer jerseys and shorts, resembling that of stereotypical jailbird clothing to appear as prisoners, reflecting the prison-esc nature Munger Hall exudes. Continuing this motif, the pretend students would all be shackled together as they journeyed all over UCSB’s campus, and have make-up resembling scuffed dirt splotches from their “hard labor”. The head protester, megaphone in hand, would loudly profess all about Munger Hall and what lies in store for the incoming students, speaking in a very passive-aggressive manner. Greater extent of the information can be found within the many brochures being passed out as well to serve as supplementary material for the attentive audience. The pretend parents would act ecstatic about the seemingly wonderful opportunity Munger Hall appears to bring, intentionally ignoring the feelings of their pretend soon-to-be students fully aware of the problematic implications brought on by its implementation. The “students” would simply mutter “Ole Ole Ole” in response, parodying that of the cheering during UCSB’s soccer games. This performance is designed to be an eye-catching but informative demonstration, the location and attire being instrumental in actively engaging the target audience while also standing as a great learning experience for the viewers.

An Unorthodox Following
What is the psychology in following people on platforms that you may not like or following individuals on platforms that may not like you? it's giving .... seek counseling right? but I think there is a deeper root to some of this. wether I'll be the first to admit that this has been almost a pattern for about 2-3 years now. I'll find a celebrity, public figure, an influencer that aligns with my ideals. Not comparing myself too; just as the first gaze /first glimpse gets my attention & reels me into a follow. Over time I've noticed especially with the pandemic still in full effect we're indoors more than ever. Well I know I am. With the lack of social interaction and some codependency issues mixed in with some good old-fashioned hyper attachment styles, I made a recipe for disaster.

FB was bad but is Meta-Worse?
Humans are complex and human interactions are even more complex. Our ability to communicate effectively has been a game-changer in our evolution and is what sets us apart from other species. This trait, however, has changed rapidly in the past few decades. The internet and its offspring in the form of social media platforms have facilitated a different kind of connection, at least in the initial days of adoption. I remember the early 2010s when I would come back from school and hop on to Facebook only to chat with my school friends again - even those who stayed next door. To be fair, it also helped me connect with distant relatives and random friends whom I met at the summer camp and wouldn’t have been able to connect with otherwise. Cut to 2022, where I need to take regular ‘detox’ breaks from these platforms to stay sane - times have clearly changed, communication has clearly evolved.
