David Attenborough's Dynasties says a lot about how we act as humans- Writing Wednesday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,

 I recently sat down and watched Dynasties by David Attenborough with my mum and my sister. The most recent episode was on lions and what they must do in order to survive and bring up their young. The episode before that was on the harsh life that the emperor penguin must endure. It was definitely hard to watch!

The first episode, however, was on chimpanzees. This episode I found the most relatable in how we act as human beings. As humans, we have quarrels and fights and even wars. None of them are obviously nice but they're harsh ways to sort out who is the fittest and strongest. When I watched the very first episode, there were two groups of chimps. One owned a huge patch of land whilst the other was rapidly trying to take over that land. They ended up getting into fights and the leader of the group ended up getting seriously injured. The leader even got separated. However, it was the way he bounced back that struck me. He lost a thumb and had a huge wound on his leg but he slowly made it back to the group and won back his title. That right there everyone, is the survival of the fittest, an evolutionary adaptation. It's not that indifferent to us. Wars,fights, and quarrels are not pleasant, but whoever is the best at standing their ground is the one who succeeds. This here, is Attenborough's message. We may be more diplomatic as humans and have more morals but our political side and the way we choose to act around others descends way back to the time of our ancestors. It also means that if you're truly dedicated to your opinion you will let nothing stop you.

    I worked for many years for a natural history museum which taught evolution. I have never believed in evolution but rather adaptation. I firmly believe God created the world but people and animals (even plants) do adapt to their environment. It was very interesting about the chimpanzees.

      Interesting opinion! I suppose even with a God things can still adapt and change. I however, do believe in evolution because it's not just about adaptation it's also about how animals evolve to become more adapted animals. We can see how an animal has changed over millions of years not just why it's changed.

All about: Shirley Ballas - Dance Saturday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  For today's post, in continuation with my All about:____ series, I'll be talking about the well-known ballroom and Latin dancer, Shirley  Ballas! I was always sceptical about who would be best suited to replace the previous head judge of Strictly Come Dancing, Len Goodman, and when they announced in 2017 that it was Shirley Ballas, I didn't really know who she was at first. However, I remember my dad walking into the living room when she was introduced to Strictly and he said "oh my God, is that Shirley Ballas?" so I kind of gathered that she was a real star of her time. BBC Strictly Come Dancing As part of one of my Blogmas posts for 2018 (you can read the post here ), I wrote about my dance icons of the year and alongside Maddie Ziegler and Claudia Dean, I also included Shirley Ballas because my mum came into the room one day and said "you have to watch Shirley and her partner Corky dancing, it's a...

How to control your competetiveness- Dance Saturday

By -

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, It isn't wrong to have a desire to be better than others. That is what makes you better at what you love doing. But, if that desire becomes too strong, your competitiveness can turn into poisonous envy that can only bring you down further in what you do. About over a year ago,  I joined a highly competitive dance studio that specialised in jazz,ballet and all things technical. I despised the dancers in that studio because they had everything and they constantly compared themselves to their peers in the most ugly way possible. They compared themselves on their size and on having the most pirouettes. This was the reason I ended up leaving and going to a better studio a year later. However, I did end up learning a valuable lesson from it. I originally joined thinking that the competetiveness would make me a better dancer and more known in the dance community but I was wrong. The competetiveness was overpowering. The dancer...

The plan going forward: Going back to college - Writing Wednesday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  On Monday, there was obviously the good news delivered by Boris Johnson that the government was going to make a conscious effort to get every pupil across the country back into the classroom following the 8th March. I've just heard from my college that I will be returning on the 9th March due to the staggered entry system but nevertheless, I'm still really excited. One of the things that my family have noticed during this 3rd national lockdown, was that dust was collecting up around the house and I think it was literally because we've been congregating in one place for so long now that dust from our own skins is literally building up around us. Probably a bit too much information but it's true! I can't wait to get back on the bike again and be in the fresh air and I'm sure whilst my parents will still mostly be at home, they'll be happy to see me back in college and my sister back at work. I am going to...

International Dance Day - Dance Saturday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  Yes, if you haven't already figured it out, I'm writing this post on a bit of a whim. Every time there's an international or national day of anything, A)I always end up missing it and B) I tend not to care that much about it anyway. When it comes to celebrations like International Women's Day or National Siblings Day, it's not that I don't care about women's rights or I've just completely forgotten about my sister but I'm just one of those people who believes that these sorts of things should be celebrated everyday. I'm not one of those people who understands why you need to have a specific day to remember these things. You're probably wondering why I'm then making a post about International Dance Day. Well, I still think it's a bit rubbish to have just a S-P-E-C-I-F-I-C day to celebrate dance, when dancers celebrate it every time they dance. However, scrolling through Instagra...
