<span>Cultures have been creating celebratory ‘cakes’ (the term cake and bread were often interchangeable) for thousands of years. However, cakes, specifically for birthdays, similar to what we enjoy today, are believed to have originated in Germany in the 1400’s. Before that time, cakes were almost solely for the celebration of weddings but bakeries began to market them for birthdays as well.
</span>

As with the marketing of birthday cakes, the addition of candles is also attributed to the Germans around the 1700’s when Kinderfesten, birthday celebrations for children, became more common. The custom was to place a candle for each year of their life as well as extra candles to represent years to come.

Do you think that gatekeeping is increasing or decreasing in society? Why or why not?

Margaret [11]

Gatekeeping is increasing more and more. The idea of gatekeeping is that the gatekeeper is the person who disseminates the news towards people, such as news agencies or paper companies or similar things. Since you have companies owning more and more news agencies at the same time, they basically can control what all the different news services will say, which means that anything that would not be considered to be valid news would be prevented from reaching people.
