Hello everyone, how are you doing today? Hope you are having a great time. This will be Week 162, Edition 02 of our Weekly Featured Content.
Made With Canva
So, last Saturday we had our hangout as usual, and it was just so much fun we did not want it to end. We are currently on the second topic for this week, which is “READING YOUR MIND”.
But before we proceed with the details of the topic, let us take a look at the winners of the last topic, which was “SOCIAL MEDIA AND POLITICS”.
This topic was geared toward each member of the community telling us about the effects social media has had on the politics that go on in their nation. From both positive to negative, social media is no doubt, a major staple in the politics of most nations.
We got to see that there were varied impacts of this. With the government taking stringent measures as they tried to influence even the things posted on social media, while also using the platforms to spread only information they deem worth it. Social media has come to be a double-edged sword, working in favor of the people while also working against it. It was an enlightening topic, indeed.
For this topic, we went through every entry post, and that is every post with the #hl-exclusive & #hl-w162e1 tag. And with the number of wonderful posts out there, it was quite difficult to make a selection. But eventually, we did just that. And so, the posts that will be featured not just for their exceptional content, but also for their level of engagement with other authors, will be listed below.
THE REPUBLIC OF REELS by 
This author told us that with everyone now on social media, and it being a possible tool for propaganda, it was so easy for anyone to get lost in all the noise. Distinguishing fact from fiction can be difficult, and social media can be one place where if care is not taken, it could turn our lives upside down.
POLITICS IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA by 
For this author, she told us that thanks to the ability of social media to disseminate information to millions within minutes, it will always be a valuable tool in the hands of politicians. With each passing day, politicians rely more and more heavily on it to canvass for votes. However, the ease with which fake news can be spread is one of the major downsides to this.
SOCIAL MEDIA AND PHILIPPINES POLITICAL LANDSCAPE 
For this author, with his country currently approaching the next national election, he’s getting to see just what kind of impact social media is having in the political space. Social media has brought about a number of radical changes, some of which are good and others which aren’t. Despite all the benefits, social media still poses a level of risk.
All of the above contents were supported by our official curation account lazy-panda with an extra amount. The first 3 authors will receive 100 ECENCY Points [ Sponsored By Ecency Team (

But then, we have some honorable mentions which are listed below:
ELECTIONS AND THE POWER TO CREATE ANGER by 
POLITICS IN A CLICK: THE RISE OF SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCE by 
INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IS QUITE POWERFUL by 
These are posts that were also found to be quite exceptional as well.
READING YOUR MIND
“What would you do if you found out that your partner could actually read minds, but never told you about it? This would mean that they've always known everything, your white lies, your dirty secrets you weren't ready to reveal... What would it mean for the relationship when you're basically an open book to them? Will it be a deal breaker? If you knew they could read minds from the start, would you have gotten into a relationship with them?”
