#crueltyfree-Rose McKeen

-
Are you aware how many animals die per year due to animal testing , well I'm about to show you I'm Rose Mckeen  and I am cruelty free.For my social media hashtag I chose hashtag #crueltyfree this is a hashtag that makeup artists use when they use all cruelty free products.  this hashtag has actually helped a lot Europe is now cruelty free and they will not let you sell your Cosmetics unless your brand is cruelty free.
This  hashtag was made when everyone started realizing how bad we were treating these animals and some people wanted to raise awareness about it. This hashtag is still going on to this day because animal testing is not banned in the United States. It was created in the US because people realized how big of a problem this was animals die every day due to animal testing and the company's just don't want to change it because it's cheaper to animal test. According to journalist Catherine Zuchermar, in her article “Easy on the Eyes”, “The tests-- which involve applying products to the animals’ eyes to determine toxicity-- can cause blindness and death”(1).  This quote shows that they do have a choice they just don't want to choose that choice because of how cheap it is to animal test but putting chemicals in animals eyes is not okay. The hashtag cruelty-free movement has impacted Europe, europe is now cruelty-free this means If your  brand tests on animals you cannot sell your products in Europe. The beauty industry right now is a horrible place even your toothpaste could test on animals Natasha Cole makes a very good point in her artical “Cruelty-free Cosmetics 101”, “The beauty industry makes people look and feel beautiful but is horrifically ugly when it comes to the treatment of animals in laboratories.(2)” This is very true because so many people do not know what's happening when you think of makeup they think it makes them look prettier but really it's just making you look ugly if you're killing animals to get it. This hashtag will do more in the future it just takes time to make such a big change.

#WomensMarch      On January 21st, 2017, hundreds of thousands of women rallied in Washington to protest Trump. However, this movement occurred worldwide. Tens of thousands of people in Canada participated and over a hundred thousand people in the UK participated, making it the major contributor outside the US. Many European countries also participated such as France, Spain, Germany, and Italy. This movement was started because the participants believed that Donald Trump was helping continue issues such as Women's rights, LGBT rights, and gender equality. They think that Trump is misogynistic and discriminates against these minorities and with to stop him. These issues occur all over the world and movements such as this show the global community that you can stand up for what you believe in and make a change. Countries that lack gender equality include countries such as Yemen, Pakistan, Syria, and many more where women are treated as inferior to men.      This movement could

            On January 1st, 2018, a letter was released, signed with the names of over 300 women in Hollywood. This letter being their pledge of unity - their letter of solidarity-  calling out some of the wrongs in their workplace.  They were calling for a halt in all tolerance of  discrimination, harassment or abuse. In their letter of solidarity, signed by large names in Hollywood like Meryl Streep, Melissa McCarthy, and Shonda Rhimes. " W e write on behalf of over 300 women who work in film, television, and theater "      This revolutionary movement is important because it making misconduct no longer tolerable in the workplace, and while the movement is by no means perfect, it is important because it is a start. Like many things, the first draft isn't perfect but it brings the starting point that is essential to go further and become better.      I think that this movement was started because it was becoming more and more of an issue.       There

They used to burn up or crash into the earth what a waste, but not anymore thanks to SpaceX's new breakthrough. That breakthrough is self-landing rockets invented by Elon Musk the founder of SpaceX, Tesla(an advanced car company), PayPal(one of the most successful online checking software known to this day), and Zip2(one of the first internet maps).
