What is wrong with our generation?

"I pretty much realized that we’re just existing. We’re not really contributing anything to society. Our generation doesn’t have the basic manners that include ‘no, ma’am,” and ‘yes, ma’am’—we don’t even hold the door open for ladies, much less our elders anymore. We listen to really obscene music that degrades women and pretty much glorifies drugs and crime."
Alexis Bloomer, a young lady who has seen the issues with our generation. As she stated above, we have lost basic manners and I honestly agree with her. I used to live on a military base while my father was the commander of the Warrior Transition Battalion (WTB),and during that time I had to use those manners out of respect for those serving our country. The sad thing is that I actually get made fun of for using "yes ma'am, no ma'am, yes sir, and no sir".
I also agree with her when she says that we listen to obscene music, and I cannot lie about the fact that I'm listening to some right now. I find it sad that we have adapted to focusing to this trash and put out horrible morals and ideas into young people's minds. Music influences many minds in today's age, because its everywhere. We listen to it every where: school, work, in the park, and in the car. It's one thing we hear all the time and we all try to relate to, which isn't good. We tend to let the music we listen to define our lives.
So, yes I agree with Alexis Bloomer and most of her rant. There is something wrong with our generation, and I think its to late to fix this generation. All we can hope for now is that the next generation will be better.

These 'Indesturctible' Animals Would Survive a Planet-Wide Apocalypse -review day 22

An Animal that can survive even up until the sun quits shinning? No... that can't be true. But it is. Tardigrades, also known as water bears, are tiny water-dwelling creatures that are famed for their resiliency. They can survive for up to 30 years without food or water and can endure extreme temperature changes. WHAT?! No, not okay. They can even survive astrophysical events, like supernovas and asteroid strikes. I'm sorry but no way is that even possible! If they can survive all that, does that mean they can survive someone stepping on them? Are they completely impossible to kill? I'm only asking because tiny, eight-legged things resemble spiders, and I hate spiders.

A Mid-Show Fire Alarm? How to Prep for Onstage Mishaps-Review Day 11

During the most emotional and meaningful part of a performance inspired by the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, the fire alarm sounds. With the perfect timing of the alarm, most of the audience remained seated, treating it like it was part of the performance, when in reality, the on stage smoke mixed with the humidity, setting off the fire alarm, creating a real need to evacuate until the fire department gave the all clear. What is a performer supposed to do when something like the above happens? Dr. Charlie Brown,  a retired performance psychologist who has worked with dancers from Charlotte Ballet, talks about the difference between successful and not as successful performers in tricky situations like this, "The most successful performers aren't more perfect; they know how to visualize performance success and mentally prep for when things go wrong," says Dr. Charlie Brown in a interview with Dance Magazine. Dr. Brown suggests that to be a successful performer, you ...
