Self Fulfillment: Why Is It Important?

Individual self - fulfillment is in my opinion one of the most important factors of life overall, and that starts with freedom of speech, which opens a lot of subcategories starting with expression. Expression is the most important to me because without freedom of expression there is little human dignity, human agency, and autonomy, as Edwin Baker said. Expression enables people to voice their opinion, to be heard, to be different, rather than locking yourself inside a box, being in a category of 100 rather than being in a category by yourself. Especially in artistry, which is 100% expression, is all about self - fulfillment. What is the point of doing anything at all in your life if it is not to bring satisfaction to yourself? To create your own identity, to give yourself a purpose, begins with self fulfillment. This is important to me because I myself feed off of freedom of expression. It gives me purpose and fulfillment, and as an artist, the ability to express myself to the fullest extent without receiving any backlash is a feeling so comforting that everyone should take self fulfillment to heart.

Our Relationship With Technology Technology in general can have both a positive relationship and a negative relationship with us. Technology can inform us about things that we need to hear, such as news about COVID-19, sports, and other worthy stories such as certain crimes and new inventions. Here is a good example of a positive relationship with technology. On the other hand, I believe technology has made a more negative impact on us rather than a positive one. Social media including Instagram and Facebook are a bad influence on people, especially teenagers. It makes them feel like they are not enough and disrupts their view on themselves because they are looking up to the 'hotter' ones, the popular ones. Social media has taught teenagers and others that if you don't have a certain number of likes, comments, or followers, then you are not enough.  On top of that comes the addiction of constantly checking social media all the time. Before social media was invented, genui

Where did wireless phones come from? The first wireless phones were only in cars and trucks back in 1946. They were invented by Bell Laboratories. It was a complicated system, and throughout New York, only 12 calls could be made at a time, given the size of the city. Years later in 1962, what they called the "Madira Senator" was invented, which is what we would call a modern day boom box. Before Steve Jobs came out with the very first iPhone, all phones were connected to the wall with a plug, or had a giant antennae coming out of the top of the phone. In 2007, the first ever iPhone was released. Four years later, when Jobs passed away, the company was left to his two partners, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. Since then, phones have left arguably the biggest impact any piece of technology has left yet. Since his death, more than five new versions of the iPhone have been released, the most recent being the iPhone being the most recent. His company, 'Apple', has expande
