What is legacy?
This terms IP is on legacy. Legacies are things that can be meant for people to remember events in history. The legacies that people leave behind to have others remember then or someone else important. Legacies can be depicted through bloggs, articles, and videos. For my IP I will try and define the word Legacy, tell why people leave their legacies behind, and tell a legacy that I can leave behind.
The word legacy does not have just one definition in fact there are a plethora of different ways to define it. There are many opinionated versions of the definitions. One definition is a gift of property, esp. personal property, as money, by will; a bequest. A legacy is not only money and objects it can be much more. Personally when asked to define the word legacy I would say it is something left behind for people to see in the future and learn from. A legacy can be for example a website dedicated to something such the website left for many to see about the 911 victims.
There are other websites dedicated to people such as the people from hurricane Katrina that weren’t found that maybe alive. http://www.usa.gov/Citizen/Topics/PublicSafety/Hurricane_Katrina_Recovery.shtml another website that will live long after people are gone is http://www.bet.com/ . This is a website dedicated to black entertainment.
Other types of legacies can be shown through blogs.
When I die I want everyone to remember me as a funny outgoing person who loved to have fun. I want everyone to know who I was. I don’t want people to really sit back and mourn me I want them to celebrate my life. I guess my main legacy would be people memories of me. A memory is a legacy that no one can take from you. Another type of legacy I would leave behind is movies. Movies that depict certain aspects of my life and certain things I’ve done. Some of my legacies will be pictures of me, videos of me. I would like to make a website to show everything there is to know about me.
In conclusion legacies are shown by bloggs, websites, and articles. The definitions differ. Al legacy overall is a memory or commemoration to someone or something that will be seen long after it took place. A legacy is a lesson being taught and being learned. Here I hope I have shown some of the definitions used for the word legacy, the types of legacies people leave behind for others, and what legacy I would eave behind. Legacies are very cool and I think that people learn a lot from them.
