Pretenders or Contenders?

 What's good y'all, opinions are a very interesting topic I would like to talk about. Opinions are very valuable to society as that's how people learn different view points and compare and contrast them from their own. However in today's world people are very hard-headed and will shoot down any opinion that doesn't match their own. For example someone that is a Christian is unlikely to hear a muslim person out and it'd be hard to have a civil conversation about their religion. I know this from first hand experience as my brother is a very hard-headed Christian. People also tend to look down upon you or don't see you as equal if your opinion is different. Most people don't hear you out for what you have to say as they'll have a subconscious bias already doubting what you are saying. Hearing people out and trying to understand someone's opinion and why they feel that way is critical as it can prevent a lot of conflict. But it's difficult for a ...

 What's good y'all, on this post I wanna discuss understanding. When I mean understanding I mean it as in when two sides are arguing, and are able to comprehend and understand why the other side feels a specific way and put themselves in their place. In argumentative essays writers are supposed to do this, or at least in my experience my high school teachers wanted me to completely understand the oppositions side to refute it. Writing argumentative essays in high school can be seen as underrated because you have understand the other side and create a argument for it if you want a good grade. However nowadays we rarely encounter people who can understand your viewpoint and why you see a topic in that way. We as people are very hard headed and rarely try to reach out to the other side and see what is actually wrong, we'd rather just argue about why we are right or why a decision should be made. Reaching a understanding can help so much in today's world as there's so m...

 What's good y'all. I have always watched basketball videos talking about each NBA team or the playoff bracket and how the season will turn out. I have also watched basketball discussions in which one side argues for a specific team beating the opposing side and there is someone opposing that idea as well. There is a YouTube channel named "Kenny For Real", I have watched Kenny since 2016 and I'm a big fan of him. His channel is somewhat like a blog, as in he talks about what's going on in the NBA and how he feels about situations. A example of this is when he talks about the Ben Simmons for James harden trade. He first talks about the trade details then shares his opinion on the matter. A view he also tends to have on trades is he can't judge them to much as he has to see how the team fits once they actually play together. For the most part he always gives his opinion though. He actually was my inspiration when I had to do a blog for my English 101 last se...

 What's good y'all. I've always felt like communication is the biggest factor for human interaction. Communication is so important to us, we wouldn't be able to understand or learn from each other without it. Most people don't even realize how vital it is to our society nowadays, we wouldn't be at this point in technology without communication. So why do people tend to lack communication when it matters the most? Or why is communication look passed when an issue comes up? While we as a society have gotten better at communication overtime it can still improve drastically.  In the last 25 years we as a society have gotten better at communicating with the development of smart phones. Wars or major conflict have been avoided from just communicating. A large issue with human interaction is the way a side will perceive something in which a way it wasn't supposed to be taken. For example if my mom calls my name from the kitchen and I yell "What!" She'...

 What's good y'all this is my blog page. My name is Nicholas Loera but I like to go by Nick. My interests are cars, fashion and sports such as football, basketball, and boxing.  My hobbies are playing and watching basketball, playing video games. I am also getting into working on cars as that is what I plan on doing after college but I'm still new to it. I also love listening to music, I listen to artists varying from Clario, Jason Aldean to Xavier Wulf and Playboicarti. Some of my pet peeves are when people fake laugh or don't own up to their mistakes. I understand people don't like awkward silence at times but I'd rather that happen then someone fake laugh and me get weirded out. People that don't own up to their mistakes also irk me as it's natural to mess up in life, making excuses for your actions won't better oneself. I see mistakes as a part of the process in improving who you are as person.  My short term goals are to get a vehicle I really l...
