New media gives us a new perspective by allowing us to interact with one another through the Internet. Media has become much more personal and diverse as user-generated content becomes more prominent in our lives. We are exposed to various viewpoints shape our understanding and knowledge of the social world. The way that information is presented to us plays a key role in our understanding of the topic itself. Underlying messages lead us to define social and cultural issues the way that the media want us to.

Media continues to evolve and will continue to change our society. This has its numerous advantages and disadvantages, but like everything else, it’s up to the user to decide whether the different media platforms can enhance their lives or not and this all depends on how they decide to use it. For most part, one should be mindful of the things they do on media for a lot of threats are present if one would be careless enough. It is better to think twice before doing anything because the consequences are far more greater than you can imagine.

Us, humans, tend to destroy the environment we live in, every single day. We are ruining it with every cigarette butt we throw out the window, with every plastic straws we leave at milktea stations, with every table napkins we drop as we’re stuffing our face with food. We are ruining it with every plastic bag we receive and let blow away with the wind, we are ruining it every time we throw a single-use-plastic into the garbage can. We tend to pollute indispensable resources that takes millions of years to replenish. We are constantly and consistently ruining it to the point where we are close to killing the whole planet.

We just take and take. We never thought of the impact it’s going to leave behind. Yet, we don’t care either because we’re going to be “long gone” by that point. At some point the Earth is going to surrender and give up because it has nothing left to give. Hopefully at that point everyone is going to realize that they should’ve put more money into the environment and less money into their own pockets. Humans are driven by profits and money.

We are a selfish race that tends to destroy the planet we live on. Soon enough the Earth is going to give up because we did nothing else but to destroy it. And only then we will wish we did more. We could save it, unless you believe in Elon Musk’s idea in making Mars as an another habitable planet.

STOP BULLYING

Have you ever bullied or been bullied? If yes, then you shoul know how it feels like. Bullying creates major problems in the society. There is nothing good about bullying. It may change or ruin a person's life. In fact, kids can be mentally scared if they are teased often. Even worse, they could be injured or killed if the bullying gets extreme.

There are many causes for bullying which must be taken care of before bullying can be stopped. Families in poverty, misunderstandings, and visual violence are just several of the many causes of bullying. Bullying must be stopped or prevented no matter how long it will take, it is a deeply concerning matter.

Bullying does not always have to be childish play, it can be extremely violent. People may bruised, injured, or even killed. Kids under bad influence may turn very violent. Many kids don't take bullying seriously. However, when a real accident occurs, they are unprepared, shocked, regretful, or dead. Bullying must stop, for it is destroying the lives and futures of many innocents, perhaps not killing them, but ruining them.

Is academic dishonesty the first step to corruption? 

One of the behaviours that negatively affect the  educational system in various places is the very high levels of students’ academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty is a very dangerous type of corruption because it is being practiced by people who are such a young age. This is a crucial stage because it is where they learn how to think, try to find out the things they would choose to believe in and develop into the people that they will eventually become. If such behaviour is perceived as correct or normal at a young age, it is more likely that it will be repeated for the rest of the life of the individual, or even be transferred in situations outside the school.

Dishonesty in the context of written examinations exists in many forms. Students can increase their chances of getting good grades by finding out the questions before the exam, copying from other students during the exam, copying from material brought into the exam room, and using mobile phones to obtain answers from the internet. All these forms of cheating are used to great extents depending on the situation. Here is one of the reasons why opportunities for such acts exist.One of which is that control systems have not been adapted to the growing levels of cheating over the last half century, so they can be safely considered nonexistent or badly designed.

But are the students only to be blamed? Of Course not. Their parents are also only concerned with their scores and are least interested in how is it affecting their thought process.Students seek shortcuts for better results, if results are achieved then you should reconsider the fact that we need to change ways. Change in approach is a need and should be adapted as soon as possible.Teach the students to move on the path of honesty and that success will be in their hands only by their will and hard work.Make sure that the future of our nation is in safe hands.

One of the major problems the majority are facing today is water scarcity. Perhaps, an imbalance between demand and supply could be a factor of what is going on nowadays. Unfortunately, the lack of water resources to meet water demand is globally felt and makes a lot of people suffer.

Water is life. No man can survive on this planet without water and it is an undeniable fact. Water scarcity may be an outcome of a large and growing population which results in greater demand for water and unequal access to it. Sadly, the availability of freshwater on this planet is only three-percent, which makes it natural for some to be skeptical about being able to cater all the demands.

On the contrary, we may find a better solution to stop the predicament we are facing today. Starting in our respective households. We should be much more aware and conserve water at all times. For we are part of nature, and neglecting our responsibilities will make our lives unconventional.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY as the FIRST STEP in CORRUPTION

Academic dishonesty is more prevalent in education anywhere else in the world. Today than ever before and has negative effects on academic institutions. Access to the Internet and advancements in technology has made academic dishonesty easier for students to commit. Students use these resources to perform plagiarism in academic papers and cheat on exams and online assignments. The number of students who engaged in acts of academic dishonesty has increased exponentially.

As a kid grows up into an adult, he/she goes from learning the alphabet in the elementary schools to figuring out the major he/she may be interested in college. During the period of growth, his/her learning pressure and peer competition are gradually increased. As a student attempting to please parents and teachers, outstand in the competition, or even be admitted to a good college, grades mean everything for him/her. In order to receive a higher grade, some students choose to copy during the exams, use unauthorized materials on homework. As a result, students have become dependent in cheating rather than doing their responsibility as a studeny which is to study.

The act of academic dishonesty can be seen as the first step of corruption. It is, in a sense, promotes manipulating the people involved just like in the school of wherein teachers are easy targets of cheating students. More so, academic dishonesty somewhat upholds the value of reclining to the truth especially that the field of the government needs the honesty of their servant

S L E E P. How important is it?

          The loss of sleep is a common problem in modern society, affecting many individuals at some point in their lives. Sleep deprivation occurs when an individual gets less sleep than they need to feel awake and alert. The amount of sleep that a person needs varies from one person to another, but on average most adults need about seven to eight hours of sleep each night to feel alert and well rested. Teens need an average of about nine hours of sleep per night, and children need nine hours of nightly sleep or more, depending on their age.

          If you’ve ever spent a night tossing and turning, you already know how you’ll feel the next day — tired, cranky, and out of sorts. But missing out on the recommended 7 to 9 hours of shut-eye nightly does more than make you feel groggy and grumpy. The long-term effects of sleep deprivation are real. It drains your mental abilities and puts your physical health at real risk. Science has linked poor slumber with all kinds of health problems, from weight gain to a weakened immune system.  The primary effect of sleep deprivation is excessive daytime sleepiness. A sleep-deprived person is likely to fall asleep when forced to sit still in a quiet or monotonous situation, such as during a meeting or class. This degree of severe sleepiness can be a safety hazard, causing drowsy driving and workplace injuries.

          The only sure way for an individual to overcome sleep deprivation is to increase nightly sleep time to satisfy his or her biological sleep need; there is no substitute for sufficient sleep. Strategies may provide a short-term benefit to reduce the effects of sleep deprivation. They are not a long-term solution, however, and they may not restore alertness and performance to non-sleep-deprived levels. It is therefore, important for an individual to have the sufficient rest and sleep.

To many people success means different things. Some people may see success as being rich and having all of the material things that anyone could ever dream of. Other people may see success as being in a place in their life that they never thought could happen. Some people may see owning their first home as being successful, while others see having a job they have always dreamed of as being a true success.

It's the little things that counts.

Success entails many different definitions.People have different interpretations of what success really means. For me is as simple as: living well and laughing often.   I think of all the little things I enjoy that either don’t cost a thing or are very inexpensive. They are the most unassuming moments, but things I truly find immense pleasure in. An example of which is having to have a good laugh with a friend, eating out, reading a book, and the satisfaction of having to be able to clean my room from time to time.
