 The most compelling issue I found is the tension between public accountability and individual free speech. It is fascinating because it shows that "canceling" is often a last resort for people who feel that traditional systems, like the legal system or HR, have failed to protect them. However, my research into university policies and celebrity cases also shows that this same practice can quickly turn into a "mob mentality" that discourages open debate. Ultimately, the most important takeaway is that cancel culture isn't just a trend; it is a complex struggle over who gets to decide what is socially acceptable in the digital age.

 This is my cultural identity mask. On it, I included things that represent me! It was fun to learn about my other classmates today as well.

A real-life situation in which jealousy negatively affected a relationship I experienced is one time I asked my friend to go to the boardwalk with me, and she told me she couldn't go. The next day, I saw that she had gone without me with another friend. I'm not going to lie, I did feel a little jealous, but in the end, it was a misunderstanding. She had already had plans to go with someone else and couldn't go with me that day. Today, I learned about a folklore story "The Jealous Father" when a man suspected his son was having a affair with one of his wives due to marks on her body and tried to get rid of him but in the end the son never had an affair and the father tried to get rid of his son over a false lie.  Today, we started a project. My group is responsible for the moral aspect of the story.

 Today in class, we learned about 3 rhetorical devices. The devices we learned were hyperbole, understatement, and litotes. Hyperbole: Today's lesson was so revolutionary, my brain doubled in size! Understatement: We spent a few minutes looking at words today.  Litotes: Learning about rhetorical devices today wasn't exactly a waste of time.
