5 Must-See Movies filmed in Berlin...
There is no doubt the two World Wars shaped this city, or at very least left a significant scar across its face, but Berlin is so much more than that. If you're like me, you love the rich history and culture of Berlin, but find it difficult to locate anything to read or watch about this ever-changing city without hearing about you know who. Never fear, I have listed five must-see movies featuring Berlin that do not include war. Prost!

Stop calling men "simps" for being decent people.
The original meaning of simp meant a silly or foolish person, derived from the word 'simpleton.' However, as generations passed, "simp" is now new slang used to shame men who treat women properly. It discourages males from showing any ounce of respect or affection within relationships, perpetuating toxic masculinity.

Burma Shave
The art of the pun! I remember vividly, jumping off the school bus wearing my smiley face top, my purple corduroy bellbottoms and brown earth shoes as I raced home that day. My heart pounding wildly and my eyes were wide with excitement. Little did I know it was just the first of many writing competitions to come. I was ten years old.

The Mandela Effect
Ever wonder why people tend to remember things differently at times, even though you strongly believe you are right and you have heard others say you are right but a few others claim you are terribly wrong. This can be explained by a world wide phenomenon which is now called The Mandela Effect. What exactly is this; The Mandela Affect is a strange phenomenon were a large group of individuals distinctly and strongly remember something however the events or memory is completely wrong and false. In simpler terms it is a largely believed lie in a sense. Now I am not saying that what these people believe is an outright lie or falsehood, just there memories of the event or occurrence is different than what actually took place and it a false memory a large group remember at the same time. The first part of my essay will explain how the phenomenon got its name and how the effect came to be known in the world. The last two sections I will present two pop culture references that have been greatly influenced or affected by this Mandela Effect.
