Hairstyles constantly change, whether it be popularity or style in general. Over hundreds of years, men's hairstyles in particular have changed drastically. Whether in the 1800s or the 21st century, men's hairstyles have always defined men. Hairstyles have evolved from slick backs with gel and fat to modern mullets and big, fluffy hair.

The holiday season rings clear and bright when cheesy rom-coms and upbeat music begin to play. Hallmark movies, a December staple, help the average Joe feel the magic that blows in with the chilling wind. Without Hallmark movies, the season would lack the trademark feelings of love and gratitude. 

‘Tis the Christmas season; festive holiday media becomes increasingly popular throughout December, namely with movies. The Hallmark Channel particularly releases boring, repetitive and basic Christmas films every year. The station definitely found a niche in Christmas movies, yet the company’s film repetition and lackluster storytelling raise issues within its movies.

Fast-paced media platforms, such as TikTok, constantly expose users to catastrophic world events like bombings, alongside lifestyle and entertainment content. Forcing citizens around the world to digest war crimes in the same five-second span as makeup reviews creates desensitization and disengagement toward important events. As exposure increases, meaningful reflection must also increase to promote thoughtful reflection and change.

In a surge of hostile architecture, anti-homeless benches emerge across the U.S. in an attempt to remove shelterless Americans from public spaces. Ironically, benches, originally intended to promote community wellness, force homeless citizens to relocate and face an extreme lack of empathy. By shifting one’s perspective away from defensive strategies from a non-enemy and toward the aid of those in need, districts can successfully welcome those of all demographics — provided that those with authority over architecture head these efforts.
