Marvel Movies
I combine my love for Marvel movies and psychology by analyzing characters, plots, and audience reactions in my blog. My favorite post covers how the representation within Black Panther affects its audience. One particular character, Shuri, portrays an intelligent black female. With very few women, especially minority women, leading research in STEM fields, Marvel rewrites stereotypes. Additionally, I brought to light the underworking of Wakanda civilization. I dove into the underlying principles the country was founded upon: an African country that was not overtaken by Europeans. The story of Wakanda highlights that European countries are not superior to African countries as well as how colonizing limited the advancement of humans.

Educational Impact
The main point of my blog was to analyze different educational values that families hold. I discuss the benefits and drawbacks of various educational systems. This includes drawing upon how schools influence students' learning and health. I additionally dive into how each educational model aligns with different long term goals. There is consideration as to how the form of education affects both students and parents. There is no right or wrong answer, so it is vital to include a balance of benefits and drawbacks of each method.
