The Media Circus And Its Impact On Society

One of my earlier articles dwelt on the role of the family in trying to ensure that children were brought up with respect for others and for themselves and this was often achieved by adopting traditional family values which blended love, respect and discipline and relating to each other within the family unit. I will not spend any more time on that topic at the moment, so please read it for yourselves. The bottom line however is that bringing up a family is hard work and a lifelong commitment and that is without the modern drug which all of us are addicted to namely the strength and aggressive nature of the media circus which is beamed into our everyday existence through TV, Papers, Internet, phones and many other mediums.

There is immense pressure these days and this has been finely honed by the media whereby the importance of material ideals does in essence break the traditional values and the family becomes several separate entities within the family location. Mum is organizing the house often around her own employment which she has to do to maintain the materialistic standard of living, Dad is working in the evening to catch up on work that he failed to complete in his normal working day, Johnny is in his bedroom playing video games and Debbie is in her bedroom on the computer and chatting to her friends. This is the scenario for many modern middle class families. However, you then have the opposite extreme in society where money is not available to enjoy this media driven circus and often the only way for these people to live the media way is to take it from someone else. This is only one scenario, the committing of a crime to gain some kind of otherwise unattainable social ranking.

The modern visualisation techniques adopted in the majority of modern films and games can have a devastating affect on the minds of young and old alike. Violence in the extreme covering drug abuse, physical, mental and sexual themes can in many cases replace the reality of everyday life with an unreal world that mixes the above elements into a very dangerous cocktail. Censorship puts an age on the viewing criteria but all too often unsuitable content is easily available and open and innocent minds are brainwashed with totally unnecessary images.

The Media Circus And Its Impact On Society

Whilst modern day living is totally dependent on media in one form or another, the balance of what is necessary and what is not really needs to be addressed. Media can create contentment but can also simultaneously create discontentment. The vision of George Orwell and the concept of big brother is most certainly with us.We are all logged and tagged like animals on a farm and held on a vast datafile. The data logging is one element of modern society, the thrust of the media revolution is another and if not controlled it will have far wider reaching effects than we know at the moment and could have even greater impact for subsequent generations.

TV: A Positive Impact on Society

Television, what do you think of when that word is mentioned? People all over the nation have different opinions about TV. Some people think of it as a positive thing, and some say it has negative influence on our lives. What ever you think about watching television, it is your opinion, and it is fine. What I want to bring to your attention is the positive impact of a wonderful invention, that we call television, has had on our society.

When you were a child did you watch television? Do you remember some of the TV shows you watched when you were a child? After watching a show of your favorite musical artist, did you try to sing that song or imitate the dance moves you just saw? If you did, or did not, I bet that there was something you tried to imitate from watching TV. Children have learned many things from television, like different shapes, colors, plants and animals. I am sure as a child of this nation we have learned many positive things from viewing TV when we were in our toddler years.

We know that children learned many things from watching television, but how does TV affect your life as an adult? When you go to bed at night, or get up in the morning to go to work, do you turn to the news channel to check what the weather is going to be like? When looking for information of current events, local news, or deals to be found at your favorite store, you can find all these things on TV. The good that television brings to our everyday life is absolutely incredible.

TV: A Positive Impact on Society

September 11, 2001 will always be remembered as part of our history; were you watching television on that day? Millions of people across the country were glued to their sets, receiving up-to-the-minute information of what was happening. TV is one of our most important ways to receive critical information locally, as well as nationally. We should be very thankful that most of us have televisions and can be warned not to eat a certain brand of spinach, because of an E. Coli break out, or to be on alert of a suspected serial killer. When someone receives that kind of information they will usually tell a family member or a friend; thus, bringing more awareness to a dangerous situation. When people are more alert to the dangerous aspect of our society, it also creates a safer community and that is very positive.

TV is a wonderful invention that can give you some well deserved, laughs at the end of a hard day, or can entertain you with some suspenseful story. Tailor what you and your kids watch on television to make it a source of information and entertainment. View with common sense, because we know kids learn by imitation and listening. Stay on top of what is important to you by picking and choosing what you want to watch. Finally, I think TV is a very positive addition to our lives; however, we all should be mindful of what we watch.

Christa Pike's Story - What Does the Case of Christa Gail Pike Say About the State of Society?

When Christa Gail Pike was twenty years old, she was convicted and sentenced to death for a crime she committed when she was eighteen. That is Christa Pike's story. It sounds horrible, doesn't it? A girl so young, her life already over - as, even if she was not put to death, she would surely live out the rest of her life behind bars - at such a young, tender age.

However, there is more to Christa Pike's story than meets the eye.

First of all, the crime she committed was incredibly heinous, and for the pettiest of reasons. She was convinced that the victim, Colleen Slemmer, was trying to steal her boyfriend. But rather than make snide comments about her behind her back as most girls her age would do in that situation, Pike tortured and killed her. She kept a piece of her skull as a trophy and showed it off around her school. That was the level of depravity and indifference to human life that she exibited.

Christa Pike's Story - What Does the Case of Christa Gail Pike Say About the State of Society?

When she was convicted and sentenced to death, many were outraged and heartbroken. Was it because of her gender? If a boy had done such a similarly heinous thing, wouldn't the public be glad to know that he was safely locked away? It seems society has a soft spot for women.

But, in this case, that soft spot was misplaced. Far from being rehabilitated by prison, Pike attempted to murder a fellow prisoner by strangulation only five years after her incarceration.

Why is it so unthinkable to society that we should punish a woman's bad acts as severely as a man's? If you do the crime, you should do the time. Your gender shouldn't matter.

Facebook and Society

Assessing the impact Facebook has had on society since its formal public opening - to anyone over the age of 13 - on 26 September 2006 is rather like assessing the impact of the wheel or steam engine but over a far shorter time-span. To date there have been no definitive studies of this impact, interested parties either concerning themselves with privacy, legal or similar issues, but a wealth of individual comments and publications surrounding cyberstalking, cyberbullying, Internet anonymity and commercialism. Facebook has, however, impacted the way that people react with one another almost to the same extent that the Internet itself, now twenty years old, has with a form of globalization hard to imagine a mere ten years ago. The ability of anyone to contact and connect with others anywhere in the world - with certain governmental restrictions - to follow their exploits and, effectively, be a part of their life has changed the way many people view societal relations.

Initially Facebook was designed as a means for students at Harvard University to contact and connect with one another, the name stemming from the Harvard Facebook issued to all new students as a means of helping them through the initial teething problems of their student life. It began life with a series of legal problems, including initial closure by the Fellows of Harvard University itself and charges of intellectual property theft all of which were either ironed out or settled through a short series of court agreements and judicial or private settlements, the latest being in March 2010.

The main effect Facebook has had on society comes through the effective globalization of communication. Where e-mail was initially considered the great breaking down of communicative barriers, Facebook has taken the level of communication possible several stages higher, allowing not only text communication but the publication of photographs and graphics, the updating of a Status, links to external websites and an ever widening ability to list interests, hobbies and pastimes. Facebook has effectively allowed anyone who is either on a Friends List - for those with strict privacy settings - or with enough time on their hands the ability to search and find others around the entire globe who share similar interests or who, measured on the quantity and quality of information provided, may be of some use to another.

Facebook and Society

It has also, as some have discovered to their cost, several detrimental aspects. Without effective controls over who becomes a member, Facebook allows individuals and commercial interests the freedom to create profiles which may be false or misleading. With reports of suicides caused by mobbing, terrorism and harassment, Facebookhas become a center of attraction for those whose base interests include demeaning, manipulating and assaulting others through the relatively safe mantle of an anonymous identity. The system of reporting abuse, installed in an effort to prevent such abuses, has itself become a means of terrorizing members through claims of fake identities, inappropriate links or posts and photographs. The only secure method of reporting abuse remains that of copyright or intellectual property violations where an actual item of proof is required before action will be considered.

Further effects Facebook has had on society include a change in the way we react and interact with other people. Where once social interaction was predominantly through meeting a person or other people personally, Facebook allows individuals and groups to contact and communicate with people around the globe, often in areas where one might never have the chance to travel. It allows friends, work colleagues and acquaintances to remain in touch with one another once their ways have parted and bridges the gap of physical distances, for example with families during college and university years. In this aspect Facebookis not alone, as all other social networks allow similar relationships to continue albeit not on the same massive level achieved by Facebook itself.

This ability to connect seemingly effortlessly, to remain in touch and to forge new friendships - although Facebook claims to be a platform dedicated to supporting existing relationships rather than for the formation of new ones - has also resulted in many changes to the way individuals within society treat one another. For some membership of Facebook and the opening of an account is a must, for others a sign that they are distancing themselves from the real world. Time spent, so the argument, on Facebook is time that cannot be spent with friends, reading books, writing letters. Several companies actively ban the use of Facebookas being detrimental to the work environment - a waste of company time - and suggest that use of Facebook, or other social networks, can be so addictive that other more pressing, more important matters are pushed to one side or ignored.

Facebookhas, effectively, constructed a new society of young and old Internet users which is global, lacking in physical borders and many every day restrictions. That personal and to some extent intimate interaction between individuals in the real world, in the physical society in which we live has suffered rests entirely with those who contribute, who participate. These changes, the lack of personal, face to face communication, the loss of social mores and traditions, the almost insular and closed lives that users choose to lead, are likely to increase until, sometime in the not so distant future, we will experience the acceptance of an online society operating alongside that of an actual physical society and hardly be able to tell the difference between the two.

The Importance of Style and Fashion in Today's Society

The importance of style and fashion in today's society is much underrated. The way that you look and dress is the first impression that people have of you. In order to give people a good first impression, you need to be dressed in a way that fits your style and does not look sloppy or messy, but one that does compliment you.

Personal style is a great way to express who you are and what you stand for. You can have fun with your own fashion statement but you should try and shy away from being too bold or it will make your outfit look like a costume.

You need to have a good appearance to show people that you invest in yourself. Your clothes should not be too tight because this gives a bad impression and it is very uncomfortable for you. Your clothes should not be too loose or baggy because that makes you look slovenly.

The Importance of Style and Fashion in Today's Society

Your hair and makeup are also essential parts of your appearance. Your hair should be nicely combed and your make up should be subtle and not too loud. You need to put time and effort into how you dress and style yourself.

Fashion and style let people know if you are serious or not. The way that you dress on a job interview tells employers if you might make a good employee. If you are wearing a short skirt and a t-shirt then most employers would not think to hire you because they think that you are not serious about wanting the job that they are hiring for.

The importance of style and fashion in today's society is very important so always make sure you look your best whenever you go because you never know who is watching. You could end up reaping many rewards if you invest in yourself because you will look great and feel better about yourself. Put your best clothes on and put your best foot forward.

Happy Shopping.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of David Cameron's Big Society

When David Cameron became the 14th British Prime Minister since 1946, he entered number 10 Downing Street with two real problems- a government in debt, and an economy in decline. One solution has been a much publicized, and sometimes ridiculed concept of a "Big Society." What are the advantages and disadvantages of creating a Big Society?

What is a Big Society?

Local state run services are transferred into the hands of community groups and organizations, who effectively take over the existing government run service. Funding is made through a new bank, partly financed by funds left in dormant and expired bank accounts. According to the architect of this plan- David Cameron- communities can take over running local transport routes, public libraries, schools and a whole range of other services.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of David Cameron's Big Society

Four Main Advantages of a Big Society?

1. Many citizens feel that some state run services are inefficient, and badly organized. Transferring these services to local groups and charities, could make them more democratic,

2. Technically people can form a community, and volunteer to run these services which could range from taking over a rural bus service to running a school.- creating independence within a community- instead of dependency on the state.

3. Charities are also "tax free," which means all funding is excluded from state taxation, and any profits can in theory be funneled back into improving the service, based on the needs of the community.

4. The government may save billions, which could be used to pay back a wide range of creditors, and funnel excess funds into improving the services it still runs. The community win, because they get a chance to provide a service they want- without any governmental interference.

What are the Disadvantages of a Big Society?

1. One main disadvantage is that funding may depend on how wealthy the community is who take over the existing bus route or library, and how willing people are to volunteer to help run these services.

2. The UK has had no recent history of mass volunteerism, and many communities are actually a mixture of new arrivals, migrant workers and short-term residents. Accustomed to a welfare state, and needing to earn money in one of the World's most expensive countries- many people may not have the time to volunteer.

3. Free market economies emphasize on self reliance, rather than community reliance. A paradox where volunteerism is needed to keep some services running, but at the same time these they could remain in competition with private business- who profit from running a similar service.

4. Some people believe the UK is a broken society. And in many instances the concept of community may not exist in the traditional sense. "Big Society" on a village level may work, but would it work in an inner-city housing estate?

Past Examples and Probable Solutions

Germany faced similar problems the UK faces between 2000 and 2007. The nation had accumulated debts through its generous social system, whilst its economy was stagnant, and over 35% of the population received some type of payment from the state. The German government had either to cut back or raise taxes.

A defacto form of "Big Society" materialized after sharp cuts in unemployment benefits, and an implementation of a means tested benefit system. The unemployed had to work for an extra 1 euro an hour, on community schemes which were often the former jobs of government employees.

Unemployed Germans "volunteered" to sweep their streets, and maintain dilapidated public buildings and parks for 20 hours a week in order to receive a decreased benefits.

Perhaps the German example could help communities and charities find the people to run the services they are encouraged to take over- from the ranks of the unemployed. This in turn could give people valuable work experience, and help them train for a suitable job.

However their is a flip-side to the German example- Many middle income Germans saved more and spent less, whilst the unemployed opted to work in a low paid job, rather than face remaining on benefits. The Government saved billions of euros, but still raised indirect taxes- and in 2008 took on more debt by bailing out failed German banks.

Another solution is to increase the retirement age, and whoever is unemployed and close to retirement, could assist in running these services, and In some cases train other volunteers- in return for the benefits they receive plus an extra stipend from the charity.

Big society has advantages and disadvantages. Much depends on how the public is encouraged to volunteer, and how these community organizations are initially financed. The big question is whether a society accustomed to a social safety net, could change, and embrace an idea which has already created a very cynical response.

Rules and Society

Most folks agree that we need rules in society to protect people and keep everyone on the same page. For instance, we all agree to stop at stop signs because, if everyone does it, no one gets hurt and everyone knows what to expect, this provides safety to us all. But, what about all the other laws, many are completely arbitrary. Well, we need to ask a few questions when determining if a law, or rule is a good one and if it is not.

Why was the rule created in the first place (the real reason, not always the most obvious).
Who created the rule and what gain did they have in seeing it created?

The way I see it, our society thinks it makes laws and rules, when in reality those in control make the rules or manipulate them, the same way a caveman goes about their daily grind of getting what they want. Most laws are made, or re-worked in order to control.

Rules and Society

Humans love to control things, and as soon as one group gets in charge, another tries to unseat their authority, so they can then lead. Humans are funny, lots of sound and fury, chaos and controversy over nothing, so much they never get much done or advance very quickly, with governments to match, a silly bunch of nonsense at times. You have to laugh.

Suffice it to say, if you deny human nature and sweep it under the carpet, it will bite you in the ass at some point when you walk over it. Another reason, I'll never admit to being human. Nevertheless, we must challenge the authority, laws, and the rule makers and dig a little deeper as to their origins, potential gain, and why they are enacted, or elected.

Most rules really are not made to protect us or help us, but rather to control us and deliver more power to those who are busy scheming the next set of laws to enact. Please consider all this.

New York's Opera Society Chapter 12

The hour was one of the early night when my mother and I made our entrance at Pani Beata's, bearing a message that we hoped would be smiled upon by Gosia, who for her part was nowhere to be found; as we entered the diner. I for the second time that day.

My mother walked at a rushed tempo perhaps made more so by the advancing hour and her anxiety to get this somewhat awkward first encounter; at least the circumstances of which, over with. My mother had no trouble finding a seat at one of the many tables for two, followed closely behind by me who wanted to point Gosia out; to her so she would know to whom she should present her offer to.

"Let me do the talking, but tell me which one of these girls is she and I do hope she speaks English." were the words that my mother said upon taking our seats at Pani Beata's. I could see as I carefully observed that my mother had settled down after that quick cab ride and was giving off that air of a person who was ready to take care of things in the way I had seen her do on so many an occasion. This feeling of relaxation and confidence came over me as well as I just said, "She is familiar with the English language." with an ever slight laugh which went undetected by my mother at her outlandish question; for if she did not how could I have spoken to her. I also told my mother, who had picked up one of the two menus on the table for reasons unknown to me, as I did not think our purpose for being there was to eat, that Gosia must have been in the kitchen but that I would tell her which one she was as soon as she came in to view.

New York's Opera Society Chapter 12

A minute must have gone by before Gosia came to wait on our table, catching me of guard as she approached us from behind while my mother was busy studying the choices on the menu and I observing my mother trying to find reason to why at a time like this she had taken an interest in the items on the menu. By the time I took notice of Gosia's presence, she was standing behind us with an astonishment to match my own. Hers more than likely from seeing me a second time during the same day; sharing a table with a person whom she might have deducted as being my mother. At that point I knew I had lost the option of pointing out to my mother without it being audible to Gosia which one of these several passing waitresses Gosia was.

It was a slightly uneasy moment, with my mother concentrating on the menu in complete oblivion to Gosia, who was standing behind us waiting for my mother to order something or for me to say something but me not knowing what to say other than "hi" to the "good evening" which she had already said with a smile that gave away the curiosity she must have been holding at seeing me again for the second time during the same day. This was one of those silent pauses that seemed to last forever which I found in myself to put an end to as I, with Gosia's attention fixed on my every jest managed to finish by giving my menu consumed
mother a tap on the shoulder which went along with words that I could not have said in a clearer voice had I tried "Mother, this is her. The one I told you about.". I read a certain breaking of tension on Gosia's face which the word "mother" eliminated, as Gosia's thoughts might have read that the lady sitting at my table was not my mother but a romantic acquaintance of mine.

My mother, after putting the menu down on the table pivoted slightly to look Gosia over with eyes that made clear the inspection they were conducting; which was being carried out from head to foot. Almost as if Gosia were merchandise at a department store. This what my mother was up to was not new, as she had examined just about all the girls I had known up till that point but however this visual inspection had a slight twist to it; which was that it was not really about seeing a prospective girlfriend but a prospective piano teacher as well. My mother was or at least it seemed to me, not after the same things she normally tended to look for. She was seeing Gosia as both a mother whose son she might become entwined with but also as someone whom she would be recommending to people who laid heavy importance and trust to her judgment of character as well as musical talent.

I could see as Gosia looked at me, whose glances fell between my mother looking over Gosia and Gosia who stood nervously, not knowing what to say or do under my mother's scrutiny which came to an abrupt conclusion when my mother simply said gazing up from her sitting position in to Gosia's almost freighted eyes; with a no less a relaxed look on her face, while applying stunning formality of voice "Young lady, we are having a very important guest tomorrow for dinner, so could you select something from this menu you like and bring it to my house tomorrow when you come over for dinner at 8 pm?". It was clear, after my mother finished her first sentence that the previous tension between the three of us had given way to a newly found cordiality which seemed to relax Gosia; whose stance and facial expression showed her more at ease though perhaps not completely, as I was able to spot a certain struggle in her to understand what had been said.

Having started my mother continued speaking much slower than usual. This given that Gosia was a foreigner who might not understand her if she chose to speak in her typically accelerated manner "I will of course pay for it now, choose enough food as to feed ten people including desert but please don't have them cook it now but tomorrow before you come to my apartment for dinner.".

Gosia's expression was one of almost disbelieve, as I don't think that an invitation to dinner was what she ever would have expected but she did confirm her compression by saying "I understand; you want me go to you for dinner tomorrow and take food from here for the supper and you will pay now but you want me to pick what we be eating, which they should cook tomorrow, is that correct?"

My mother still with the formality that she was known for continued however this time speaking with more assurance that her listener's English was up to the task of comprehending what she was being told "Yes, I have good news for you. I can recommend you to many people, at least fifteen, who will gladly pay you the sum of 20 dollars an hour for you to give them private piano lessons and you may give these lessons at my apartment; as I have a piano in a room which you may use for the purpose of giving your lessons and I can also get you a job playing the piano at my friends' night clubs but first you will have to let me hear you play before I can recommend you to anybody.".

All the while my mother spoke I had not stopped looking at Gosia, whose face showed such disbelieve at what she was hearing that she reminded me of myself when I was a child on Christmas day opening presents. So happy, I did not know what to do or say or even which gift to open first. She just stood there, almost like in a dream, which was interrupted by my mother saying "So, young lady do you accept?"; to which Gosia just replied "Yes, I do. Thank you very much and ple...";' "So (interrupted by my mother, who could sense a long thank you speech coming on which she did not want to hear given that she felt a simple thank you was more than enough to fully express one's gratitude) please choose something for tomorrow's dinner, here is 300 $, chose what ever you like and if there should be any change, keep it as your tip but do remember there will be ten of us, you included.".

Gosia was so over come; she actually after having received the money bent over and gave my mother a kiss on the forehead which brought on my mother's surprise but not disapproval. This given how my mother was never one to frown upon outward signs of affection.

I could see by the look on her face; as she stood up that my mother felt good about what she had accomplished that evening; as she took her leave by saying "Well, I have concluded my business here. I shall expect you at my apartment tomorrow at 8 pm sharp with the meal and ready to play something, hopefully by Chopin. (taking Gosia's hand in her own) Good evening or like they say in your country dobranoc.". Gosia replied "goodnight". My mother then turned to me and said "Are you coming or do you wish to stay with your friend?". I answered with a smile "I'll just stay a while, you go on home without me.". "In that case, I have two things to say to you. First, don't forget to give this young lady our address and don't get home too late remember, tomorrow is a school night, good night." being my mother's last words before exiting the place.

Impact of Social Media on Society

"Do you have Facebook?"
"Yes, of course. But I don't think you can find me, as there are too many people who have the same name as me. Try searching with my surname as well."
"Hey, you celebrated your birthday in K-Box, right? I saw the photos in your Facebook."
"Bro, I saw your comments about the YouTube video that I've posted in my blog. I'm happy that you are also deeply moved by the 'Dancing Peacock Man' as well."

Social media or "social networking" has almost become part of our daily lives and being tossed around over the past few years. It is like any other media such as newspaper, radio and television but it is far more than just about sharing information and ideas. Social networking tools like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and Blogs have facilitated creation and exchange of ideas so quickly and widely than the conventional media. The power of define and control a brand is shifting from corporations and institutions to individuals and communities. It is no longer on the 5Cs (e.g. condominium, credit cards and car) that Singaporeans once talked about. Today, it is about the brand new Cs: creativity, communication, connection, creation (of new ideas and products), community (of shared interests), collaboration and (changing the game of) competition.

In January 2010, InSites Consulting has conducted an online survey with 2,884 consumers from over 14 countries between the ages of 18 to 55 years old on social networking. More than 90% of participants know at least 1 social networking site and 72% of participants are members of at least 1 social networking site. On the average, people have about 195 friends and they log in twice a day to social networking sites. However, 55% of the users cannot access their social network websites at work. In the past, not many adults were able to make more than 500 friends, but with social media, even a child or teenager can get to know more than 500 people in a few days by just clicking the mouse. Social media has devalued the traditional definition of "friend" where it means trust, support, compatible values, etc. Although we get to know more people, we are not able to build strong bond with all the people whom we met as our available time is limited. Hence, there is an upcoming social trend of people with wider social circles, but weaker ties (people we don't know very well but who provide us with useful information and ideas).

Impact of Social Media on Society

Social media also influences people's buying behaviours. Digital Influence Group reported that 91% of the people say consumer reviews are the #1 aid to buying decisions and 87% trust a friend's recommendation over critic's review. It is thrice more likely to trust peer opinions over advertising for purchasing decisions. 1 word-of-mouth conversation has an impact of 200 TV ads. With the prevalence use of social media, there is numerous news related to it from the most viewed YouTube video on "Armless pianist wins 'China's Got Talent'" to Web-assisted suicide cases (e.g. New Jersey college student who killed himself after video of him in a sexual encounter with another man was posted online). Thus, does social networking make us better or worse off as a society?

Positive Effects of Social Media

Besides having opportunity to know a lot of people in a fast and easy way, social media also helped teenagers who have social or physical mobility restrictions to build and maintain relationships with their friends and families. Children who go overseas to study can still stay in meaningful contact with their parents. To a greater extend, there is anecdotal evidence of positive outcomes from these technologies.

In 2008, President-elected Obama won the election through the effective use of social media to reach millions of audience or voters. The Obama campaign had generated and distributed huge amount of contents and messages across email, SMS, social media platforms and their websites. Obama and his campaign team fully understood the fundamental social need that everyone shares - the need of being "who we are". Therefore, the campaign sent the message as "Because It's about YOU" and chose the right form of media to connect with individuals, call for actions and create community for a social movement. They encouraged citizens to share their voices, hold discussion parties in houses and run their own campaign meetings. It truly changed the delivery of political message.

Obama campaign had made 5 million "friends" on more than 15 social networking sites (3 million friends on Facebook itself) and posted nearly 2,000 YouTube videos which were watched over 80 million times. At its peak, their website, MyBarackObama.com, had 8.5 million monthly visitors and produced 400,000 blog posts. In order to ensure that their contents were found by people, the Obama campaign spent .5 million on Google search in October alone, 0,000 on Advertising.com, 7,000 on Facebook in 2008, etc. Currently, Obama's Twitter account has close to 6 million followers.

In 2010, after the earthquake happened in Haiti, many of the official communication lines were down. The rest of the world was not able to grasp the full picture of the situation there. To facilitate the sharing of information and make up for the lack of information, social media came in very handy to report the news about the affected area on what happened and what help was needed. Tweets from many people provided an impressive overview of the ongoing events from the earthquake. BBC covered the event by combining tweets from the work of its reporter Matthew Price in Port-au-Prince at the ground. Guardian's live blog also used social media together with the information from other news organisations to report about the rescue mission.

It has been two years since CNN officially launched iReport as a section of its website where people can upload video material, with contact information. During the Haiti crisis, CNN had published a range of social media material but not all the materials were verified. The editorial staff would vet the reports from the citizen journalists and labeled them differently compared to unverified contents. On Facebook, a group, named "Earthquake Haiti", was formed to show support and share updates and news. It had more than 14,000 members and some users even pleaded for assistance to the injured Haitians in the group. Using email, Twitter and social networking sites like Facebook, thousands of volunteers as part of Project Ushahidi were able to map reports sent by people from Haiti.

The most impressive part of the social media's impact on Haiti is the charity text-message donations that soared to over million for the victims in Haiti. People interested in helping the victims are encouraged to text, tweet and publicize their support using various social networking sites. The Global Philanthropy Group had also started a campaign to ask wealthy people and celebrities, like Ben Stiller and John Legend to use Twitter and Facebook to encourage others to give to UNICEF. An aid worker, Saundra Schimmelpfennig, allowed the advice from other aid workers and donors to post on her blog regarding to choosing which charitable organisations to support. In the meantime, donors were asking questions in Twitter, Facebook and blogs about their donations and endorsements of their favourite charities. After every crisis, the social media for social cause becomes a more effective medium to spread the word.

Negative Effects of Social Media

There are always two sides of every coin. Social media is just a tool or mean for people to use. It is still up to the users on how to use this tool (just like a knife, can help you to cut food or hurt others). Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project and Elon University's Imagining the Internet Center conducted a study on "The Future of Online Socializing" from the highly engaged, diverse set of respondents to an online, opt-in survey consisted of 895 technology stakeholders and critics. The negative effects presented by the respondents included time spent online robs time from important face-to-face relationships; the internet fosters mostly shallow relationships; the act of leveraging the internet to engage in social connection exposes private information; the internet allows people to silo themselves, limiting their exposure to new ideas; and the internet is being used to engender intolerance.

Some respondents also highlighted that there will be development of some new psychological and medical syndromes that will be "variations of depression caused by the lack of meaningful quality relationships", and a "new world society". The term, "Social Networking", has begun to deceive the users to believe they are social creatures. For instance, spending a couple of hours using Farmville and chatting with friends concurrently does not convert into social skills. People become dependent on the technology and forget how to socialise in face-to-face context. The online personality of a person might be totally different from his/her offline character, causing chaos when the two personalities meet. It is apparent in online dating when the couple gets together in face-to-face for the first time. Their written profiles do not clearly represent their real-life characters. It is more enticing for people to type something that others want to hear than saying the truth.

Besides the "friendship", creators of social networking sites and users redefine the term, "privacy" in the Internet as well. The challenge in data privacy is to share data while protecting personally identifiable information. Almost any information posted on social networking sites is permanent. Whenever someone posts pictures or videos on the web, it becomes viral. When the user deletes a video from his/her social network, someone might have kept it and then posted it onto other sites like YouTube already. People post photographs and video files on social networking sites without thinking and the files can reappear at the worst possible time. In 2008, a video of a group of ACJC students hazing a female student in school on her birthday was circulated and another video of a SCDF recruit being "welcomed" (was hosed with water and tarred with shoe polish) to a local fire station made its way online.

Much news has been reported about online privacy breach in Facebook and Facebook is constantly revising their privacy policy and changing their privacy controls for the users. Interestingly, even when users delete their personal information and deactivate their Facebook account, Facebook will still keep that information and will continue to use it for data mining. A reporter asked whether the data will at least be anonymized. The Facebook representative declined to comment.

In the corporate world, human resource managers can access Facebook or MySpace to get to know about a candidate's true colours, especially when job seekers do not set their profiles to private. Research has found that almost half of employers have rejected a potential worker after finding incriminating material on their Facebook pages. Some employers have also checked the candidates' online details in Facebook pages to see if they are lying about their qualifications. Nowadays, younger generations have a complete disregard for their own privacy, opening doors to unwelcome predators or stalkers.

Crime and Its Impact on Society

Exactly what is crime? Simply put, crime is an act that violates the rights of a person, or persons, or their property. That's a rather simplified definition. The actual definition is much too long for this article. But crime is not only a violation of a person or persons; it can also be an act that could endanger the lives or safety of the public in general. An example of that type of crime could include the firing of a weapon inside the city limits. By discharging a firearm in a populated area, you endanger the lives of all who live within the range of that particular weapon. The bullet could ricochet and hurt an innocent bystander, or if fired into the air, it could come down and injure someone. By firing the weapon in a populated area, the person who fired it has demonstrated a wanton and reckless disregard for the safety of others.

Crime affects us all in one way or another. Because of that, society has enacted laws designed to protect every man, woman and child. For instance, the person who shoplifts from the local department store causes all of us to pay higher prices for the products or services we need. Let me explain. When people shoplift it costs the company they steal from money because they had to pay for that product and they got nothing for it. They just lost money. Now imagine four people a day shoplift products totaling . In seven days they lost 0. But what if that company has 100 stores nationwide and each store loses a day. That comes to 00 a day, ,000 a week. Multiply by 52 weeks a year and you get a whopping 8,000 lost every year. Now they have to implement security measures to control their losses. And it isn't cheap. They have to install cameras, hire security people to watch the cameras and walk the floor, insurance for those people not to mention the salaries for each of them. On top of all that there is the cost of prosecuting
all those shoplifters.

News And Society

Many companies spend millions every year to prevent theft. The money lost from stolen products, money spent on security and wages for the security staff has to be made up somewhere. Guess who has to make up the shortage? You guessed it. You, the honest shopper, ends up having to pay higher prices for the products and services you want.

Crime and Its Impact on Society

But the price you pay for crime doesn't stop there. You don't get off that easy. Once the lawbreaker is prosecuted he/she has to be incarcerated. Housing, clothing and feeding criminals is expensive. In 2007 a local newspaper, The Sacramento Bee, reported that the average annual cost of housing prison inmates in the California prison system was ,287 per inmate. In 2008 TV station WHAS in Louisville, KY. reported that the average cost of housing an inmate in KY. was ,000. WHAS also reported that Kentucky has the fastest rising inmate population in the country, causing huge money problems for the people of Kentucky.

Crime costs all of us in higher prices for food, clothing, etc. and in taxes to pay for housing criminals once they are prosecuted.

Role of Youth in Society

Though many youngsters are contributing to their respective nations in different ways, there are some disturbing incidents in the recent past in Andhra Pradesh which involve youth. In places like Vijayawada, Warangal, Ongole, and Anantapur, some engineering students went on a rampage. They attacked girls with acids, knives and other lethal weapons as those girls did not respond favourably for their love and marriage proposals.

In warangal the police encountered the guys and killed them. The developments in internet facilities, excessive violence in movies, the increase in the number of television channels from abroad and India, developments in communication technology and easy availability of weapons, etc are some of the most important reasons for such a violent attitude among the youth. Adding fuel to the problem, there has been a decrease in the vigilance by parents on their children's activities. Most of the parents go for work in the wee hours and return only late in the evening thus the children have been getting a lot of free time to do whatever they like in the free time. Most of the children are also wasting their time in chatting and smsing. If the youth spend their valuable time for productive purposes their nations get benefitted in many ways.

News And Society

Lack of education among the parents, the quarrels among them, lack of awareness about the importance of discipline in life, economic factors, cultural and social factors are some other reasons for poor character levels among some youth. For instance due to poverty some youth dropout from the educational institutes and involve in anti social activities including theft. If the relationships between parents are strained some children may leave the house and become orphans leading to a directionless life due to lack of guidance, love, security and support. In some cases the youth would become bonded labourers, child labourers, etc due to debts, crop losses, and other family problems.

Role of Youth in Society

The successive governments have been taking several steps for the over all well being of youth but the targeted people hardly get benefitted from such welfare programmes due to many reasons. One of them is lack of awareness among the youth about the schemes being implemented by the government. The other causes are heavy competition, misappropriation of funds by the officials and politicians, etc.

The youth clubs are good for the society but they should involve more in productive activities. For instance there is a need to create awareness in the society about many aspects of life such as the importance of voting, value of a disciplined life, importance of non-violence, truthfulness, educating the masses about law, and many such issues which play an important role in their day to day life.

Thus the youth of any nation should cultivate all those habits which contribute to the over all well being of the people of respective nations. Such an attitude would help them in becoming role models for the future citizens of any nation. The youth is the most energetic and the future of any nation depends on them hence they should act in a responsible manner. Swami vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi, Obama, Gautham Budha,Sachin tendulkar, Muralitharan, etc are some of the great inspirers for today's youth as these men achieved great heights in their respective lives by cultivating a certain set of qualities.

The 6 Necessities of Surviving the Collapse of Society

Most people never consider the possibility of a catastrophe tearing our society apart but in recent years this idea has become a possible reality. The turmoil in the Middle East, the growing fear of environmental threats and the ever so popular Mayan 2012 theory, the possibility that such a catastrophe could strike increases every day. If disaster does strike, and you are not in the immediately affected area, there are actions you can take to ensure you and your loved ones survive. There are 6 survival essentials you will need to procure in order to maintain existence in the post apocalyptic world. Water, food, shelter, sanitation, security and morale are the 6 main ingredients of survival. 

The two most important of these survival essentials are the bare necessities, water and food. The human body can only go for about 3 days without water, and around 2 weeks without food. (I bet that would be a miserable 13 days.) In most emergency situations there will be work to do in order to rebuild, repair or even save people in the areas affected by the situation. This in addition to the high level of stress the body is under will require you to maintain high calorie count and water consumption in order to maintain optimal physical and mental performance. This demands that you keep water and food at the top of your priorities. If radiation is not involved, just about any water supply can be turned into drinkable water with the proper survival training and it can be done without the need for an extravagant set-up, or system.

News And Society

After you get food and water you will need to worry about shelter. If you are lucky and your home wasn't affected then you are one step ahead of the game. If for some reason you had to leave your primary shelter then there are certain areas and types of shelter you should and shouldn't use. Since you need water, if you have found a sustainable water source like a creek or a river, this will be an ideal place to set up your survival shelter. You want to be sure that you are not too close, or too far away from the water. With proper survival training you will understand how to make several shelters with the material available in nature for whatever situation you might find yourself in. Construct your shelter out of whatever you can find. In a post apocalyptic world don't be afraid to take over building or structure that weren't originally yours it is critical to do what you need to do in order to ensure you have the 6 survival essentials.

The 6 Necessities of Surviving the Collapse of Society

Once you have found water, food and adequate shelter, you will have to worry about sanitation. Some simple sanitary procedures can protect you and those you are trying to survive with from disease and a slow painful death. You will also have to worry about what to do with you human waste. There are essential steps you should take to keep yourself safe from your waste. There is no hospital to go to in the post-disaster world, so being proactive about your sanitation and waste disposal is paramount to your survival. Remember, entire armies throughout history have been crippled by not following simple waste disposal procedures and become racked with disease and death.

In addition to procuring resources to ensure you have the things mentioned above you will also have to maintain security. In a world where society has collapsed those who can inflict their will on others will be the ones who rule. There are no police or law suits. Security and being able to defend yourself or hide from others will be critical to ensure you resources and protect your loved ones with

You will have to be aware of your surroundings at all times, and if there are people with you, it will be paramount that they are as alert as possible. Obtaining all of these survival necessities is the key to having a good morale, whether alone, or with a group. Morale can affect the progress of people negatively or positively. If morale is down, people are not motivated to survive. When morale is up, people are more productive and optimistic of their situation and makes survival more enjoyable for everyone. Morale might be the hardest to control of all the concerns mentioned above.

Survival in a post apocalyptic world is not going to be pretty. It won't be impossible either. There are 6 essentials to survival and those who thrive in the next world will be those who took the time to learn the correct survival skills to make sure they could provide for themselves and their loved one, water, food, shelter, security, proper sanitation and maintained high morale.

The Relationship Between Science, Technology, and Society

Science and technology is the best thing society could ever ask for. Since the industrial revolution in the 18th century science has been in progress. Some sectors that have been boosted by science and technology are energy, physical sciences, information and communication. The society has greatly gained with the invention of technology.

Infrastructure in the society has grown with the help of science and technology. Modes of transport like electronic railway lines were realized and these actually benefited the society by offering them a better means of transport. In the past, almost everything was analog but thanks to the science and technology we are now being digitalized by the day. The invention of the telephone and radio services has broadened human communication.

News And Society

Without society then there would be no science and technology and that is why the invention of certain tools and equipment have helped achieve big things. Society can not do without the industries we have today. The society needs science and technology. The creation of computers is work of art by individuals was a milestone that would come a long way in helping the society. A computer helps us to leverage ourselves by gaining valuable information that we can use to enrich our lives. The impact of science and technology can seriously be recognized. Many people around the world take for example scholars in colleges and universities have taken the lead examining the relationship between science and technology.

The Relationship Between Science, Technology, and Society

The evaluation of this relationship has emerged as an important area of research. Public interest groups and academic organizations throughout the world are recognizing the importance of STS. The reason is that people need to recognize that there are people who are affected by the science and technology. Controversies such as modified foods, stem cell research are the issues that have brought policy makers and scientists together to have a way forward on this.

Science and technology has actually largely contributed to the vision of man about himself. Science has been modified the opinion about the origin of man and place of origin too. Through the results of scientific discoveries the perception of man about his behavior and his place of origin has been modified diversly. Experiments in science today are in one way or another affecting the society.Take for example the experiment on cloning a human being. The experiment brought a lot of controversy since the society was skeptical about it.

How is science and technology related to society: The developing world has a long tradition of participatory action research, popular education and community organization joining up to solve some science and technology issues that affect the society. How is science and technology related to the society is something that is calling even for the government intervention. Science and technology related issues are actually been discussed worldwide today. Progress in this has resulted to the ability to produce diverse types of material items. Answering the question how science and technology is related to society.

What Is A Society?

When you start to delve into the question "what is society" you will realize that this is indeed a very deep subject. There is no one answer because a society is not a thing that can be easily explained in one or two sentences. In fact, this could actually be a topic for a thesis by a graduate student in philosophy and it would take many volumes to include all the possible answers. Let's start by looking at what we consider to be a society.

In our daily lives, a society is the place where we live. It is made up of the government, the education system, the health care and the many occupations that people have. Each and every person is an important part of a society because each one has something to contribute. It is a very broad concept that is often broken down into different segments or facets of life. Within a society, there are smaller societies or groups of people who have a particular goal or ambition. These could be government agencies, groups of students or groups raising money for a cause.

News And Society

There are also other factors that separate smaller societies from one another. These include culture, language, race, and religion. Within a society, there can be many different cultures. If you look at the whole world as one society, you can easily realize just how many differences there are. Even within a country, city or town, you have numerous differences and you can even have different societies within a neighborhood. The neighborhood of a city could be an ethnic society all its own.

What Is A Society?

In the larger frame of things, all these societies interact with one another on a daily basis bringing new ideas and ways of doing things. Customs transfer from one culture to another, immigrants become assimilated within a society and people react with violence when a part of their society is threatened. All of these things make up a society, which is more of a quality than a thing.

Effects of Poverty on the Society

Poverty! Can anyone who has really been poor know what poverty is? I really doubt it. How can anyone who enjoys three "square" meals a day explain the phenomenon? Perhaps one will be able to grasp the real meaning of poverty when one struggles real hard to have a miserable meal in twenty-four hours. Poverty and hunger are cousins; simply because the former is tied to the latter.

According to my lexicon, poverty is the state of being poor, while the environment is the condition that affects mainly, the behavior and development of something. For instance, if you are putting on a suit, or a complete traditional attire of any kind, you will naturally look rotund in your dress, you may neither understand what poverty entails, nor can you have a true feeling of poverty. If you have some good shirts and pairs of trousers; never mind if they are all casual wears. The fact is if you can from one dress, change into another and these are all you can boast of, thank your star because you are not really poor!

News And Society

A person begins to have a true feeling of what poverty means when, apart from the tattered clothes on his body, he does not have any other, not even a motley shirt to keep away the cold at night. "Look at these little children looking like cartoons with their parents looking hopeless. They have nothing to eat for the mean time, no good shelter over their heads, talk more of giving the children a sound education. Oh! What a hopeless life to live in". That is the voice of a man journeying through a settlement of the poor.

Effects of Poverty on the Society

Furthermore, let us face it straight, the developing countries are majorly identified with poverty on a large scale. Though there are poor people in America too, the difference cannot still be compared with some states, most especially in Africa. You will hitch up with me that anyone who has never slept outside in the open cannot appreciate the harsh realities of homelessness; yet that is what abject poverty is all about. He who can lay claim to a house, however humble, or can afford to rent a flat or a room in a town or city without the landlord troubles cannot honestly claim to be poor.

One of the major effects of poverty is sickness and mortality. A poor person is more prone to a poor health. In the society today, things are not done free. No matter what, after every treatment in hospital money is required; now tell me where you want paupers to get such money; when they cannot afford a meal a day! This often leads to the breeding of immoral people who will do anything to achieve their aim in life either getting into armed robbery or prostitution. I believe the governments all over the world still have a lot to do in getting rid of poverty completely in our societies.
