Asia, not in China!

Welcome back, it's been a while since I've made a post. I've also realized lately that my blog is not the most appealing so i will probably do some changes to it in like the next week. This one will probably be a little more crazy, out there and nonsensical, but I never did say these were supposed to be serious. 

If you couldn't already tell by the title this post is going to be about Asia. Being that one continent you know the really big one that holds most of the worlds people and is not just China. Witch brings up the first topic, what Asia actually consists of. Lets start by getting a few things out of the way, yes India is in Asia so is most of Russia, Lebanon and the rest of western Asia. No Asia is not in China, like who even thought that. There is also a South Korea and they make good music and weird and amusing tv shows.Now Asia consists of many countries not just China, Japan and North Korea. Just to give you a better idea, because my description is a little lacing, I'll put a picture that illustrates a map of Asia.  

 

I remember once someone said to me (and these are not at all my words please don't hold me accountable I believe we are all equal) that they didn't understand how Asians are so always so smart and they wished they where one instead they where Arabic and therefore not as inherently smart and I didn't have the heart to say they where also of Asian decent. 

Next I would just like to focus a little more on just Japan. You see Japan is rather well known for there animes, some of witch will be set in a seemingly normal Japanese town, when actually gives a rather inaccurate portrayal. To start in anime there are usually a lot of crazy and rowdy characters but in real life people are usually expected to be rather reserved and polite. Also you see a lot of school life anime where the characters will be dressed in crazy fashions but in real life rules are very strict on appearance, even though a lot of anime or manga gets in right too. 

Well thats about it, hope you like it be waiting for an other post soon.

For my first topic on witch I will discuss its corresponding misconceptions I decided to chose something that hits close to home because it is home.CANADA. In my opinion Canada is one of the best most beautiful countries and probably one of the best places to live on earth.But others don't necessarily see it the same and it gets a weird reputation.

Lets start with one of probably the biggest being that everyone is super nice and polite.Well this can be true for some and yes we say sorry for things other people do that doesn't mean we are all like that there are a lot of really mean and rude people.Since I brought up the word sorry that is an other one about the accent and we say sorry(so-re) and about(aboot) weirdly and say eh.  I have never heard someone say aboot or eh other then ironically.

Next the one where Canada is in a constant state of horribly cold snowy winter. This one is so off. First off Canada like most other places has four actually very different seasons where only one of witch fits that description. This is one that i thought was just a joke but no, I'm pretty sure theres a bunch of people that think this. They even had a video in disney that started out "jokingly" saying how Canada is cold and snowy 24/7 and they had to have Martin Short come on and explain that it wasn't so. I even once heard from someone I know who worked at the border that they had a family come over once in the heat of summer saying they wanted to take the family on a nice skying trip and asked where the nearest sky hill was, what a surprise they must have had. Some people are so very ignorant to the world around them.

So to rap this up we don't live in igloos, we don't ride polar bears to work or keep them as pets , we don't keep maple syrup in our pockets, the Mounties aren't the only police we have,we do have normal bacon, we don't all play hockey and we don't all speak perfectly fluent french.

Hello! Welcome to my blog, my name is Laura Kowalsky and in this blog I will be talking about some common misconceptions that I find relevant to modern day society. For those who don't know what a common misconception is, well to quote the first definition that popped up on the googles " A misconception is a conclusion that's wrong because it's based on faulty thinking or facts that are wrong. Your accusation about your brother's role in that unfortunate event at your party may be based on a misconception." Or to put it in my own words a common misconception is an idea that a wide spread of people put on something be it a group of people, a person, an object or what have you that isn't true and usually brought on by ignorance. They can come in various forms from something that sounds actually quite silly to most but someone somewhere believes it, to a myth that got really popular to the point most believe it to be fact.

Now that that is out of the way, I would just like to talk about my plans for this blog. What I was thinking was to have it that every post would talk about a subject and list out various misconceptions about said subject by separating the myths from the facts, and give my opinion it. Hopefully this will help you learn a little more about the world and the people around you or maybe help you win arguments and rub your superior intellect in your friends faces. So if you're interested in learning and possibly laughing at peoples ignorance and what they actually believe, then I invite you to follow and read my blog, witch probably will not be of the highest caliber given I'm a tenth grader doing this for an assignment so don't expect too much.
