What if I Hadn't Chosen Media Studies

 

What if?

- By Saroosh Numair


When I was starting my journey into university life, I initially had chosen to get me degree in Business. However, I made the sudden decision to transfer to Media Studies as it had been a passion of mine for a long time. I had spent my A Levels studying it as an extra subject, alongside the commerce combination. It was a major decision in my life and one that was very crucial to how my future would play out, and I often find myself wondering what my life would be like had I stuck with my original decision. If I hadn’t chosen media studies as my major, I would not have experienced all the things that I am so grateful for. In doing this degree, I have had the opportunity to take classes with a diverse group of very talented peers, and also become friends with them. I would not have had the honor of working with Salman Noorani, a man who’s work has inspired me for a long time. Meeting him and having him mentor me was one of the greatest honors and it is something that I will carry with me forever. In choosing the degree that I did, I had the chance to further my skills and exposure as a photographer and a content creator. This opened avenues for me that I definitely could not have predicted. It’s allowed me to freelance several projects and also led to a well-known singer, Umar Khan, having a conversation with me about content that I created featuring his work. These are all monumental achievements for me and are helping to shape my future in this field. My life would be very different if I had not changed my mind about the path I wanted to take.

Adolf Hitler - Character Sketch

  Adolf Hitler - Nazi Leader -Javeria Mohideen https://javeriammohideen.wixsite.com/website/post/adolf-hitler-nazi-leader Adolf Hitler, the man responsible for the barbaric horrors of the Holocaust and devastation of the Second World War, is known to be one of the most notorious dictators of the 20th century. A tyrant, Hitler used political infighting and economic woes to strengthen his rein over Germany in the beginning of 1933. An autocratic leader of the Nazi party, Hitler had staunch anti-Semitism beliefs and an obsessive pursuit of Aryan supremacy. His warped belief system led to the genocide of 6 million Jews – a perspective that was evident in his self-authored book ‘Mein Kampf’. In the book, he declared the superiority of a white Aryan race, while he reserved his hatred for the Jews who he viewed as "parasites". The Nazis had a belief that Jews, Roma ('gypsies'), black people and other ethnic groups were inferior to Aryans. Their elimination, he said, "mu...

Genghis khan - Character Sketch

  Genghis Khan -Muqadas Fatima https://muqadasfatima315.wixsite.com/website-1/post/character-sketch-non-fiction The sound of the drum beating pounded in his ears. His blurry vision could hardly make out the source of the commotion but soon realized that it was the shaman casting out the evil spirits. Suddenly a stinging smell of blood and raw meat burned the insides of his nostrils. As soon as he turned his face, what he saw was beyond his imagination. It was Genghis khan, the ruthless and vicious emperor and founder of the Mongolian Empire. Who would have known to be blood thirsty and tyrannical ruler for centuries? Tyranny reflected in his eyes. Even his eyes seemed like reptilian slits. His face was cold as ice as if the warmth of the sun had never reached it. While he stared into his soul, Genghis tore raw meat with his abnormally large canines. Blood oozing from it and eventually smeared all over his face. It became obvious, how ruthless the entire empire was. They had no reg...
