The album ''this is me'' is a song featured in the popular film The greatest showmen. The reason i have chosen to blog about this song in particular is because it has great meaning and depth. As you can tell by the title, the song is all about people expressing their true inner selves by letting the world know that how they were born was who they were destined to be. ''The greatest showman'' is all about breaking the stereotype of discrimination towards people because of there appearance/race/belief. In the film a group of abnormal people come together to preform the greatest show of all time. I personally love the movie all though there was a lot of missing pieces that would have made the film a lot better but overall it is a great movie . Here is a link to the music video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjxugyZCfuw

Shark finning
What is it? Shark finning is the work done by humans where they cut the fins off of sharks then throw the bodies back into ocean.
Why is it a delicacy? Shark soup is a very common dish within the Asian community especially in Countries like China & Hong Kong. I'm not too sure as to why shark fins are so special/important to these countries because after all it doesn't have any taste and it has the consistency of noodles. However, i do bi believe i know the reason as to why it is such a delicacy to the people of the living within places like china and Hong Kong. It is believed that shark fins are good for your health and that it increases virility and that it may even give you longer life however, the fin is purely cartilage the same compound in human, cow and other vertebrates. Cartilage has no nutritional value. Any benefit would come from the broth and other ingredients added.
How is this impacting our oceans? Shark finning has a big impact on our oceans because as top predators their disappearance will disrupt our entire oceans ecosystem so they're better off alive than dead. According to my personal circulations at the rate of which we are cutting shark fins and dumping their bodies back into the ocean they are more then likely to go extinct within 14 - 15 years, i came up with this estimation by dividing 73 million by 1 odd billion and it totaled to 14.

Resilience & growth mindset
A growth mindset is having the power to be able to believe that you can evolve the simplest of your abilities into so much more through dedication an hard work. Having a growth mindset plays a big roll in having resilience because, resilience is the having the will and dedication to keep on pushing forward despite being knocked down for E.g the song ''The power of yet'' it is a song that changes your mindset from a negative to positive by teaching that you can do what you want. Quote dont see the world as it is. See for what it could be.

Live aid
Do they know its Christmas, I personally think that they chose to sing this song at the concert because they were raising money for the Ethiopian people and they were referring it to being like Christmas for them because they might've been unaware that they were gonna give them a surprise present which was supposed to be 100,00 dollars but the concert ended up exceeding that amount almost 10 times itself.
