Debate Friday

In this day and age, where almost everything we can think of has been done/achieved, is it worth it to try to be original? Yes or No?

We all have copied someone else's work and presented it as our own at least once in our lives. "Copy and Paste" has been one of the many habits we have adopted thanks to the technological era and booming increase of people becoming content creators. It's so apparent, that just imagine when you think of a quote, 80% of time someone else, from maybe the other side of the world, has already thought of that quote, posted it and claims the rights on it.

   There are also times when you create something and in the next hour, someone has already copied your work and used it as their own, which is ethically wrong but is slowly becoming the norm. Many people may say that it's too hard/ expensive to be original, but I believe because of the ever expanding pool of innovation we have in the world, now more than ever has originality become the key to success.

Now being original doesn't mean you have to start from scratch, no sense in reinventing the wheel.

In the field of business, originality is seen as something called a unique selling point. Basically whatever your business is about, there has to be something that distinguishes your business from every other business (something positive). Customers recognize this uniqueness and will be more attracted to your business aka more profit for you.

 The same rule can be applied in life, once you have this uniqueness about you, people recognize it, you may even become a trend setter.


HOPE YOU GUYS AGREE. HAVE A BLESS WEEKEND!!

Debate Friday

For Caribbean persons, is Christianity just a brainwashing from slavery? YES or NO?

This topic was debated by my friends and I all during this week. First off, before I pick let's do a little history. When the Europeans created the slave trade and the Africans were captured and brought from Africa to the Caribbean to work as slaves. Once here, they were completely stripped of their identity and one of the methods used, especially by the Spaniards, was to force the Christian faith on the African slaves.

Furthermore, Christianity was used as a means to justify slavery and convince the slaves that the harsh conditions they were put in were righteous. Now, many years later, the majority of us Caribbean people have accepted Christianity as our belief but, is it really our choice or a predetermined choice because of our enslaved ancestry?

For me, I know it is my choice, and I believe that Christianity is more than just a brainwashing. I don't deny the history of it but it was the malice and hypocrisy of the whites at that time, which corrupted the reputation of the religion. I will also not deny the fact that many of us Caribbean people are just walking around with the title "Christian" because of the teachings of our parents and grandparents and not actually living the Christian life.

My conclusion, Christianity is a choice, it only remains a form of brainwashing if you follow it  with no meaningful resolve or reason for doing so.

  

Top 10 Most Common Languages

Q. What are the top ten most common languages?

A. Good Afternoon guys!! I decided to answer this question because as someone who enjoys learning the languages, I believe it is important for persons to know more than one language, especially born  English speakers because sometimes, because we know English, we believe we don't need any other language but that is not the case.

TOP 10 MOST COMMON LANGUAGES

1. MANDARIN (CHINESE) - 800 MILLION NATIVE SPEAKERS

2. SPANISH (SPAIN) - 325 MILLION NATIVE SPEAKERS

3. ENGLISH (ENGLAND)- 312 MILLION NATIVE SPEAKERS

4. HINDI/URDU- 310 MILLION NATIVE SPEAKERS

5.  ARABIC (ARABIA)- 232 MILLION NATIVE SPEAKERS

6. PORTUGUESE (PORTUGUAL)- 220 MILLION NATIVE SPEAKERS 

7. BENGALY (BENGALIA)- 205 MILLION NATIVE SPEAKERS

8. RUSSIAN (RUSSIA)- 155 MILLION NATIVE SPEAKERS

9. JAPANESE (JAPAN)- 125 MILLION NATIVE SPEAKERS

10. GERMAN (GERMANY)- 89 MILLION NATIVE SPEAKERS

These rankings vary but the fact is that when it comes to native speakers, Mandarin is TOP. So guys just note:


One language is natural.
Two is good.
Three is impressive.
Any more,  the world is your chat room.

DEBATE FRIDAY:

When a drug dealer and his client meet, who is more at fault? The drug dealer for selling the drugs or the client for buying the drugs?

     Ok guys just to be clear...they are both in the wrong however in my opinion, the drug dealer is more at fault. HEAR ME OUT BEFORE YOU EXIT THIS POST!! Most people argue that the client has the choice to choose whether he will buy the drug or not. If people weren't buying the drugs, the drug dealers wouldn't be selling because they wouldn't earn $2000 per pick up. I get all that and those who share that view, you have a valid point...BUT
     If drugs won't available to the masses, we avoid the possibility of people taking drugs, getting addicted and potentially ruining their lives. Example: Many of us have been in situations where we end up sampling a drug because a friend or classmate offers it to us whether it be a bag of cocaine or a little weed in the form of a weed cake. Prior to that moment, we have no interest in drugs however because our friend or friends are into it (peer pressure), we try it. Now it depends on the person, some people feel nothing while others get hooked on the drug. This addiction leads to nothing but negative effects and a lot of the time the person never gets over the addiction.

 Once again, I do agree with the fact that whether someone buys a drug or not is their choice, but with the many influences that can persuade the person, the drug shouldn't be available in the first place...So the drug dealer is more at fault.

What do you think? Agree/Disagree?

How to Make Money on YouTube

Hey guys!! Just so you have an idea about the content and times I post; On Wednesdays, I post a question (could be based on anything) and I give the answer. On Fridays, I post a debate topic, give my view and I ask that you share yours as well.

Today's Question:

Q. How can you make money from YouTube?

A. Now I know this question has been asked by many people and it has been answered by many people including YouTubers themselves. However for those people, who always wanted to know but never have the time to search for something that takes less than 5 minutes, I am bringing the answer to you.

There are four ways to make money off YouTube:

1.  Google AdSense: This is where you monetize your videos on YouTube i.e. allow YouTube to place ads on your YouTube videos.

2. Affiliate Products: This is where in your YouTube videos you do a review, or recommendation about a product you like, include what is known as an "affiliate" link and can actually get paid for that.

3. Sponsorship: This is where a company pays you to display or use their products during your YouTube videos.

4. Lead Generation Source: This is where you use YouTube as a means to bring persons to your online business e.g. small businesses post promotional videos on YouTube and leave links in the description like "click here to learn more" which send the viewer to a website. It is basically an efficient way of marketing which can help you gain many customers.

I just gave a bit of an overview but if you want to no more check out this video. It gives you tips about which way is ideal for you.
