How has Covid-19 affected peoples mental health
Studies show that Covid-19 has led to mental health issues increase during quarantine.
Students were expecting a fun and exciting summer of 2020. As students discuss their summer plans with friends and family their freedom awaits. Unfortunately, those hopes of having a fun and eventful summer come to an end when Covid-19 was just around the corner.
Last summer Mental health was a huge issue people struggled with. According to the CDC, “Public health actions, such as social distancing, are necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19, but they can make us feel isolated and lonely and can increase stress and anxiety”. People all around the world lost the luxury to go outside and meet with their friends and family during the quarantine last summer, at the time they had to discover different coping strategies just to manage day to day. Identifying whether a peer or loved one is struggling with their mental health is important to reduce depression rates in a community.
Covid-19 has affected many with the fear of contracting the virus and spreading it amongst their peers. Having loved ones getting the virus because of not following protocols is a cause for concern. An 11th grade Riverside student who wants to stay anonymous stated that “When Covid-19 became more widespread I feared what was going to happen to me….and my family” Affecting one’s own family by not following protocols might be one of the most regretful decisions someone can make. People need to become
weary of the consequences of their decisions before they do something they will regret later.
Although becoming frightful of contracting the virus and prioritizing safety over pleasure would for some individuals, grade 11 Riverside Student, Simon Duong, had different thoughts about the matter, “Staying inside without being able to see my friends was horrible, I was bored out of my mind. I would have done anything to go outside for even a minute.” said Duong. Simon also stated that “For most teenagers, last summer was extremely boring due to the number of restrictions. On top of that high schoolers had to deal with online school.” Online school caused many students to suffer from reduced grades and lowered self-esteem because of how brand new the experience was at the time. Teachers placed too high of an expectation on students to maintain their grades during such a difficult time.
For some, Covid-19 wasn’t much of a problem because of the internet. For grade 11 Riverside student, Crystal Joy Mangosing, this was the case. “Covid-19 wasn’t much of a struggle for me personally, because I could message my friends and family via text or online messaging. Although it didn’t affect me emotionally, it made me self-aware about how covid affected other families,” said Mangosing. The internet can be a very useful tool to learn about Covid. Education can prevent cases of paranoia and anxiety of Covid.
Parents also fell victim to stress because of Covid-19. A local mother named Agnes Villar stated, “Covid-19 was very stressful for me because I worried for my children’s health and education”. Parents must especially have it rough, to put food on the table they had to work in such a frightening environment.
Everybody copes with stress during covid differently. We must be aware of how the people that one might care for are feeling during these tough times and be ready to support them as much as possible.

Art is something that is supposed to amaze someone as they look at it, Its supposed to to create a story for the viewer.

I really like how minimal i made my portfolio. It doesn’t take too much away from my photos which is where I want most of the viewers attention. Although, I dislike how design choices are limited. If I had time I wish I could put in more photos so I can show how much I have developed as a photographer.
Robot Monkey Goes Berserk
By Christian Domondon
On October 7 2040, the robot monkey “Sly” has harassed a group of students and their teacher from a local kindergarten in the Monkey Research Lab (MRL).
Sly was using a pottery machine given to him by the MRL. The students then started to pound on the cage Sly was residing in, to get his attention. Annoyed & upset Sly began to cuss and harass the students and teacher.
This caused the teacher to have to resort to evacuating the class from the room, because of Sly’s actions his pottery machine and clay has been confiscated and a full refund for the tour was given to the school. The School was upset and demanded a public apology from the MRL.
Information was released to the public and petitions were made to put down Sly, but some people believe that the kids were in the wrong, an uproar of discussions on the internet flooded social media platforms bashing the kids and teacher from the kindergarten, calling them irresponsible and rude.
Treating animals with human knowledge with kindness and respect would then become mandatory. The government passed a new law stating so, any discrimination against animals will be punished by law with a minimum of 6 months in jail and a maximum of 5 years. It was called the Animal Knowledge Safety Pact (AHKSP).
Twenty years ago a pandemic broke out called “Covid-19,” it was a global crisis that killed millions. Back then the MRL was established and made monkeys like Sly to sell to hospitals and Pharmaceutical companies to help create a vaccine for Covid-19. When the Vaccine was made those monkeys were sent to labor intensive construction sites to lessen the work load and to save money.
This happened for he next twenty years until the Animal Knowledge Safety Pact (AHKSP) was formed. The companies were given the maximum fine of ten million (CAD) and were forbidden to operate within a 100 km radius of the MRL.
Sly is different from his other counter parts. He was specifically created to entertain children, because of his job he was mentally and physically stressed out. Although Sly is rude and inappropriate he has an IQ of 500 making him the smartest creature or human alive. Not only is he intelligent he is athletic as well. Sly is also the fastest climber alive. He scaled bottom to top of Mount Everest in only 20 minutes.
Sly’s body and mind were enhanced using real people’s DNA. The MRL used different strands of hair from qualified people. For his intelligence Albert Einstein one of the smartest humans to ever live, and Adam Ondra the rock climber for his climbing ability. the experiment enhanced his abilities 3 times the amount what his donators were capable of.
although Sly has many opportunities in life, prefers to stay in his cage and use his pottery machine. Sly is likes the slow and calm lifestyle he has now, and doesn’t want to have the expectations given to him if he were to do anything with his abilities.

The news became an uproar amongst citizens. Confusion and anger build up amongst the citizens. Fearing what other damage time travel the government makes it completely illegal. Severe punishment will fall upon those whom decide to break the law and will immediately be put in prison.

Communication through digital devices have played a big part on how information have been exchanged, from the early 90’s to the present. Talking to friends over the internet has become a convivence to everyday life, but it wasn’t always like that. Digital devices haven not always been around, starting from the first programmable computer to the best selling gaming computer society have come a long way from primitive life. The first Programmable computer was the Z1, it was a motor driven mechanical calculator computer and read instructions from punched celluloid film. Its use in the field were very limited and slow, but this was the computer that set off evolution of computers into where it is now. Back then computers were made here and there but nothing really special was made for daily life. It was not until the late 80’s to mid 90’s that the internet went through commercialization. when the became available to the public, they took advantage of it. The internet became a phenomenon in the early 2000’s, which lead developed newer and better computers being made. for example the Original MacBook, the Dell Adamo XPS, and the Tianhe 1A. Coming from the primitive ways of sending letters manually, to exchanging information through a computer, society has come along way.

What Is Spotify?
Spotify is a music streaming app that charges the user a monthly payment of $9.99 that allows listening to music by a wide spread of artist, listening to music on the go becomes available by downloading the albums the user desire. family accounts are $14.99 that allows 6 other people a Spotify premium account. If payment is not available listening to music has its restrictions such as, 6 skips an hour, listening while having some source of Wi-Fi, ads every other song, and not being able to change the timing of songs. obtaining playlist from other users is accessible by adding them as a friend a adding the playlist the user’s library. Was created on April 23 in Stockholm Sweden by Daniel Ek co-founder and CEO, Martin Lorentzon co-founder. According to a certain article, “…Ek and Lorentzon…grew frustrated with the limitations of finding and listening to music using a computer”(Product Habits Blog). Originally, they wanted to create a peer to peer music streaming program like “Napster,” which is an illegal streaming program where users had to download music from torrent files. EK soon after realized that piracy had its own limitations besides its illegality. Downloading a song, took several minutes to download, and audio quality varied depending on the download. Spotify is a huge improvement from Napster, Spotify provides music instantly, high quality audio, no downloads, and is completely legal. EK stated during an interview with the Daily Telegraph, “I realized that you can never legislate away from piracy” (Daniel Ek 2010). Spotify makes money through advertisements and subscriptions, 91% of revenue are from subscriptions and the other 9% are from advertisements. Of the revenue made Spotify keeps 30% of the profit and the rest is given to license deals, artist, and music deals. In 2017 the most frequent users of Spotify were millennials aging between 18 to 29, although users seem to be young adults Spotify can be safe for children with parental control. Molly Swift wrote an article stating “Parents may want to discuss music choices with their child, both as a means of connecting and to keep your eyes out for inappropriate material entering their playlists” (Molly Swift 2020).
