Why we should take time to watch documentaries?

In our world of extremely sensitive people, i t's easy to become defensive and or want to jump down someone's throat as soon as they make it known that they do not agree with you. We've all been there, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Merriam-Webster defines an opinion as: "a belief, judgment, or way of thinking about something". It's interesting to take notice on how quickly we are to become annoyed or offended simply by the way someone else decides to live their life. And instead of listening to reply with a response, we should be listening to understand.

You absolutely do not need to agree or even comply with the others' opinion but should at the very least respect their point of view. This brings us to fixing this issue by simply expanding our general knowledge of the issues that surround us. We as society claim that we want peace and justice for these movements that we care about but continue to forget that it starts with us as individuals. Watching these documentaries might help motivate you or compassion to shorten the gap between differences, our hope for brighter futures,



Here's a few suggestions for those looking to get into documentaries

1) 13th


2) The Hunting Ground

3) Vegucated

4) Amanda Knox

5) Fed Up

While documentaries may not be your thing, if you're looking for a fun and easy way to get a new perspective and better yourself, documentaries is a great way to go.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
