Sydney Craig Media Effects

This week we had to write a letter to a prominent person about something we are passionate about. Here is my letter: Dear Miley Cyrus, I want you to know that I understand why you express your opinions so publicly on social media. As a celebrity, you have the power to influence others, for better or for worse. However, I think that before you start proclaiming that “abortion is healthcare” as a blanket statement you should probably take a moment to consider what that statement implies.  To start, I don’t entirely disagree with you.

Last week was Thanksgiving and I totally forgot to post. Anyways, I've had a lot of thoughts running through my mind this week. One of them is Light the World. Light the World has started this month and it has really made me reflect and appreciate those around me. One of the first sharing from this week was to share about someone that is Christlike and I also chose to make a gratitude post about my fiance. He is absolutely amazing and always looking for ways to serve me. I loved the responses I got on my post and also seeing others and the people that they chose to highlight on social media. This reminded me of the GOOD that social media can bring. It can help us show our appreciation for those we love and inspire others to do the same! I remembered to do the challenge because I saw someone else's post. You never know the good influence you can have on someone else :)
