The Real Fight: Are Children Being Sexualized?

Image
Oh. My. God. Forget cute, she’s drop-dead gorgeous. She’s the girl of your dreams. How come you’ve never seen her at school? She lives nearby anyway. You quickly add her on Snap, and start stalking her on Insta, scrolling through pic through pic. You’re considering sending her DM, but your eye falls on her bio- and your jaw drops. Because this perfect girl is only twelve! Hey guys! It’s Hibba, back with another debate. Ever since the COVID-19 outbreak, I’ve had plenty of time on my hands. So, I’ve put that time to good use, to bring you, another new topic! It’s not exactly Saturday, but at this point, who cares? The topic I have chosen is....drumroll, please…: Are kids being sexualized? This issue has been fought over for a while now, by the kids who are supposedly being “sexualized”, and the parents of those kids. With all the time I had, I decided it was appropriate to add my opinion on this pressing problem. In my opinion: yes. And no, you're not gett...

The Real Food Fight: Is Eating Meat Ethical?

Image
The media says a lot of stuff. Like, a lot. You may have recently seen the rising trend in veganism. Being vegetarian is one thing, but veganism is on a whole other level. Respect to anyone who is vegan- I go crazy without my dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets, dude! People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or simply PETA, is well-known animal rights group that supports vegetarianism and veganism. And, here’s the thing: they are literally stronger than the government. They know every single little animal-related thing. They’ve got eyes everywhere! Heck, they might be watching you through the camera on your phone. So you’re wearing a fur coat this winter, I see, you animal-killer! they must be commenting from their HQ. Or maybe even: Well, well, Ashely, thought you could get away with those mink eyelashes? Not today! With all the pro-plant-based-lifestyle articles, have you ever given a moment to actually think: “Is eating meat ethical?” Well, folks, that’s why I’m here! ...

A Colorful Conflict: Black or Blue?

Image
You look through your bag, trying to find a pen to write some notes for class with. After what seems like forever, you grab a pen. Hooray! But upon closer inspection, you see you have two pens, identical to each other, but one is blue whilst the other is black. Which one do you choose? Hi everybody, it's me, Hibba, and I'm finally back. First school had me busy, and the... I literally have no good excuse. I wasn't busy at all this summer. To be honest, I was just really lazy. School is going to start in TWO DAYS, so I have no idea how I'm going to stay on a schedule. Laziness aside, I have finally used all my power to create an article, hopefully a good one. I have used all my power to ask you, yes YOU, a very important question: "black or blue ink?” *insert dramatic faint* It may seem like a petty problem that most of us barely think about, but even things as small as the color of the pen you prefer can really impact what others think of you,...

Is Graffiti Art? Yes or No?

  If you walk down the streets of a city, I think we’ve all seen graffiti. Maybe it was a cool, retro style of letters or an original cartoon against an ombre background, but, we’ve all seen it. Graffiti is very common. The debate had arisen on whether graffiti is art, or not. And as you know, I decided to take this topic and give my opinion on it. As a little-above-average artist, I do have a couple of ideas on this creative debate. It’s mua , Hibba! I’m here with another debate! This idea was suggested by the one and only @mary.christmas35 . Thank you so much for this idea! A lot of people may disagree with me, because isn’t graffiti just… vandalism? No. It is so much more than that. Let’s start with the definition of graffiti. That always helps. According to Wikipedia: “ Graffiti is writing or drawings made on a wall or other surface, usually without permission and within public view.” It’s very stereotypical to think graffiti is illegal, first of all. It’s n...

*BLOG UPDATE*: No Blog, All Birthday

You may be wondering why I have not uploaded this Saturday. Well, I've been pretty busy, for a fact. Because... It's my birthday! Well, technically, in American days, it would be tomorrow. But I was born in Pakistan, so I would have my actual birthday today. Thing is, I was SOO busy with my birthday stuff (and my awesome cousin), I could not find time to finish up my blog. I just wanted to let you know. I didn't forget, or anything. Just me, being busy, with my birthday. Hopefully, next week the blog will be out and all will be good. It be Gucci. Just to repeat, I may skip a week or two for many reasons. So, no worries. I'm not dead. I'm okay. Writing a blog is some work. With all the new homework, even with the extra weekend, I'm still finishing homework, and planning for my party. Just to add on to that, I am trying to do debates that are suggested by you guys more. So be more active. Comment! I listen, and I care. Maybe I don't reply, but I...
