10 Netflix Documentaries To Change Your Perspective On Life
Wired

Over the last few weeks, I've been binge-watching all types of documentaries on Netflix. Not only are they fun to watch, but they're also so informative. Here are a few of my most recently watched favorites!

1. "Living On One Dollar"

This documentary, about four Americans who try to survive in Guatemala on only one dollar a day, will really open your eyes to life in extreme poverty and the wonders of human kindness.

2. "Minimalism"

This documentary explains the unique lifestyle of minimalism, and is definitely worth the watch!

3. "The True Cost"

Describing the phenomenon of "fast fashion," this documentary may make you think twice before taking another trip to the mall.

4. "An Idiot Abroad"

This hilarious series documents Karl Pilkington as he grudgingly explores different parts of the world and experiences the local culture!

5. "Blackfish"

This revealing documentary sheds light on some of the hidden horrors of animal captivity and may make you rethink your next visit to SeaWorld.

6. "Planet Earth"

This breathtaking series will help you to appreciate the world around you in ways that you never knew before!

7. "Cosmos"

If you love science, you'll love this documentary about the universe, presented by Neil deGrasse Tyson!

8. "Making A Murderer"

This documentary follows the story of Steven Avery, a man wrongfully convicted of murder, and will leave you with chills!

9. "The Kindness Diaries"

This feel-good documentary follows Leon Logothetis as he travels while relying solely on the kindness of others. I dare you not to smile while watching!

10. "The Drop Box"

This documentary is about pastor Lee Jong-rak in South Korea, who has rescued over 600 orphans who would have been otherwise abandoned.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
