I came across Takashi Murakami when I was studying about art, there was this picture of him posing in front of his artwork. What caught my eyes was the innocent looking flowers, the colorful palette and the way Murakami looked so full of joy. Source: 10 Contemporary Artists You Should Know The artwork is called 'Flowers, Flowers, Flowers'   created in 2010. What shocked me was despite having those smiley flowers, the artwork held a much darker message. According to Allen's article , Murakami's Flowers were his own perspective about Japanese people when they remembered about the 1945 Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Murakami hopes that his colorful, vibrant flowers can bring the meaning of renewal to them instead of remembering the traumatic event.

In 2024, newspapers have taken on a significant role in informing the public about both major and minor events in the quickest way possible by uploading on digital platforms. Nowadays, the most convenient way to approach new events is to read the news on trusted websites, or even on social media. Not only that, reading newspaper online is completely free and very easy to access to. With just a few clicks, you can navigate through many news sources. Just be careful with what you read, there may be fake news.  Source: AI Writing Tutorials: Learn How To Create Content with Artificial Intelligence There is also the use of AI for translating the news to other languages. When interacting with other people around my age, I started to realize that reading newspaper on trusted websites isn’t trendy among young generations, as they mostly use social media to gather information . Meanwhile, the older generation tend to read newspaper as a hardcopy more than using technology devices.
