About Me!!!

 Hello! I am Natalie Belsha. I am from Raleigh, North Carolina and I am a sophomore at High Point University studying Pop Culture and Media Production with a minor in Public and Professional Writing. I've learned that I love social media marketing and script writing from the classes I've taken so far. After High Point, I hope to move to New York or Los Angeles to focus on careers in the entertainment industry. I would also love to manage social media accounts for various companies. I love playing video games, reading, and watching way too much TV. I have a crazy dog named Daisy and a lazy cat named Belle back at home that I miss very dearly.



I have been doing graphic design projects since I was in middle school, and I hope to continue to further my knowledge of graphic design after college. You can find my creative portfolio here

Blog Post #3 : Black Lives Matter Protests and the Capitol Riot

Image
The First Amendment gave us six freedoms. The freedom from religion, of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition. What is actually covered under these freedoms is heavily debated, and has come up most recently with the Black Lives Matter Protests and the Capitol riot on January 6th.  On January 6th a group of Americans gathered around the capitol building while congress was verifying the votes. The gathering quickly turned violent with people smashing windows, tear gassing, and breaking into the capitol building itself. It was a riot. During May of 2020, the Black Lives Matter protests started all across the United States. Thousands of Americans gathered with signs and began peacefully protesting. A lot of these protests then became violent. Were these gatherings protected by the First Amendment. Yes and no. When a large group of people gathered around the capitol building with trump merchandise and signs, it was protected. This was a group using their right to assembly, petitio

My Relationship With Technology

Image
I grew up in a very technology positive family. Both of my parents work in the technology field, and I had my first laptop when I was very young (granted it was my mom's old one and it could barely run anything but Webkinz ran pretty well). I've always been active on social media and the internet, and I find it really hard to not be. Since I grew up with technology, I feel like I have an unhealthy dependence on it. I wasn't allowed to have an instagram, snapchat, or twitter until I was 12, but ever since then I've been attached at the hip with them. Even though these three platforms are all forms of social media, I have very different relationships with each of them. And with the rise of TikTok, my outlook on social media has continued to grow more complicated. I really want to delete Instagram and Snapchat. I find myself looking at my friends accounts and comparing myself to them. I find myself scrolling through old classmates accounts and feeling bad about myself beca

Diffusion Theory

  Diffusion theory Diffusion theory is a theory that explains how new technologies and ideas spread around. In order to explain it, I want to use Spotify and music streaming in general as my examples. I love Spotify, and music streaming in general, but I also remember when it was a new thing and not many people actually used it. During the innovators stage of Spotify, the idea of music streaming was introduced. The first one I remember was pandora. Pandora allowed users to listen to certain radio stations of their choice. They weren’t able to choose what song to play, but they could create their own stations. Spotify was created only a year later.  Before this itunes store was introduced. People could buy digital songs and have them downloaded directly to their devices.  People that originally started using itunes, pandora, and spotify were the early adopters. Those who created the platforms were the innovators. After more and more people started to use the platforms, it became more of
