summary of research paper

In WRA150 online course, we have been forced to study online, communicate online create my own blog and web-site at the beginning. I learned from information literacy to new media literacy. I used media technology to finish my assignments and homework. After four projects, I finally realized that how to use media technology in our daily life is the most important thing I learned from class. Thus, during this research paper I would like to share the experience of online communication by the new media technology, twitter.

Micro-blogging are more and more openness to present a form of online community，Fortunately ，This form is no longer virtually，It is becoming a reflection of social reality step by step, you can see it. This is a step forward in the evolution of Internet products, from the virtual to the relationship then to the complete reality show.

McLuhan made the first "global village" concept. A few years ago that people shouted "The World is flat!" But when it became to micro-blog age, it is real peace in this world. Not only flat, but also a zero distance. Between people, they can see each other, reach each other anytime. It became so close to each other between people and their life.

Few years ago, it could not be imagine when the new media was spreading in our life. So, in a few years ago, I started to use this Twitter for fun. It turned out amazing. It shocked me, not only the new media technologies have been used on, not just a communication tool but also it openness and the attitude of publicity could differ from the SNS in charming way.

With the popularity of the Internet exposing, the whole community will be highly "Internet-based”. First of all to participate in the community is to participate into the Internet "community", otherwise you will be the outcasts by the society. At the same time all the community will be seamless to the receipt of the platforms. Every person, every organization, every institution, every kind, etc., will correspond to their own "tag", the occurrence of various transactions. Society as a whole unit will also benefit from this public, open mind, and become more efficient.

A real online community is may be greater than simply communication tool.

Diet Debate: 3 Top Plans Go Toe to Toe

lbchaochao-blog

zoujiani:

Researchers Say Mediterranean and Low-Carb Diets Are Good Alternatives to Low-Fat PlanBy Kathleen Doheny WebMD Health NewsReviewed by Elizabeth Klodas, MD, FACC

July 16, 2008 — The debate about the best weight loss diet is on again, with all the usual contenders.

A low-fat diet is not the only safe and effective way to shed pounds, according to a new study that shows low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean diets also result in weight loss, and appear to also offer other health benefits.

“We saw a reduction in weight in all three diets,” says Iris Shai, RD, PhD, the study’s lead author and a researcher in nutrition and chronic diseases at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel. “But we saw that other diet strategies, which are higher in fat proportions, like the Mediterranean diet, and the low-carb diet, even result in an increase in weight loss and improvement in blood lipids and blood glucose measurements.”

Plagiarism and Citation of Sources

As everyone knows the different between steal and borrow. In the article, we use Plagiarism and Citation to define the sources that come from other people’s hand.

According to the definition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism) and (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citation) we know the different between them.

In my opinion, when doing research, it is really important to ask and refer to outside sources of information. Outside sources of information can include any of the following: magazines, books, journals, previously-published papers, newspapers, internet documents, conversations, public lectures, recordings or interviews. Sometimes you may want to consult outside sources of information in order to get background knowledge or to quote, paraphrase or summaries from them. Whether you consult a source for background knowledge or whether you decide to quote, paraphrase or summaries, you must document, that is, acknowledge the source. This documentation is important for two reasons. First, it gives credit to the original source of the words or ideas. If it is not done, you have plagiarized. Then, it gives the audience information about where to find additional sources of information if he/she wants to find more than subject. In order to allow outside sources to bolster rather than overwhelm your commentary, it is almost essential to introduce each quotation and especially each paraphrase you use. Doing so distinguishes your ideas from others’ ideas, and it also points to a source’s credibility. In many cases, in fact, you should identify a source not only by name but also by information indicating authority. Citation is the way you get the source and use the link to tell people you get the information from here, and make sure give chapter and verse for the source. But, plagiarism is stealing; it is completely different than the citation. When you get information or source from other author, you never tell audience where you get it. You take the source glom on to own pocket.

MLA Format for Essays and Research Papers

Introduction

The Modern Language Association (MLA) specifies a standard format for essays and research papers written in an academic setting:

One-inch page margins.

Double-spaced paragraphs

A header with author's last name and page number one-half inch from the top of each page.

Name of author, name of professor, title of course, date of paper on the first page of the paper.

A works cited page beginning on a separate page at the end of the paper.

Follow the steps below to format your essay or research paper according to MLA whenever you use Microsoft Word. Before you begin, however, make sure that you can see the Standard and Formatting toobars displayed on two rows on your screen.

1. Set the page margins to one inch.

To set the margins, select File and Page Setup from the Menu Bar:

From the Page Format dialog box, set each margin at 1" inch by entering the number or using the up or down arrows beside each margin setting. Then click OK, as shown below.

2. Set the line spacing to double spaced.

From the Menu Bar, select Format and Paragraph:

Make sure to select the Indents and Spacing tab, as shown below.

Under Line Spacing, select "Double."

Click OK.

3. Create a header with your last name and automatic page numbering.

MLA format requires a header in the upper right-hand corner of each page set at 1/2" from the top of the page with the author's last name and a page number. To create the header and set automatic page numbering select View and then Header and Footer from the Menu Bar:

The header will appear at the top of your screen, ready for you to enter text and automatic page numbering:

Notice that the cursor is set on the left margin. Click the Align Right icon from formatting toolbar to align the text on the right margin. Notice that the cursor is shown at the right margin in the header section below:

Type your last name in the header section. Then press the spacebar once to leave a single blank space after your last name, as shown below:

Click the pound sign (#) in the Header/Footer bar to insert the page number automatically in the header section on each page:

Click Close in the Header/Footer bar to close the header and return to the document.

4. Enter the first page information.

Type your name and then press the Enter key once.

Type your professor's name, and then Enter.

Type the course identification, and then Enter.

Type the date. Press the Enter key once.

Click on the Align Center icon on the formatting toolbar.

Type the title of your paper, capitalizing the first word and all major words and proper nouns. Do not use italics, boldfaced type, underlining, or all caps to format your title. Do not type a period at the end of the title. Press the Enter key once.

Click on the Align Left icon so that you will begin typing on the first line.

Depress the Tab key to indent 1/2 inch to begin your first paragraph and begin typing your document. Be sure to press the Enter key once only when you have completed a paragraph:

5. Type the works cited page.

Immediately after typing the final line of your paper, press the CTRL key and the ENTER key at the same time to begin a new page. Your header with your last name and automatic page numbering should appear at the top left of your paper if you are viewing your document in the "print layout" view option (from "View" on your menu bar).

Click the Align Center icon so that your title will be centered. Before doing so, be sure to click "Format" and then "Paragraph" on the menu bar and check your paragraph format to make sure that the first line of the paragraph is not indented. If it is, change the first line indent to "none" and click "OK" in the Paragraph dialog box.

Type Works Cited (do not underline, boldface, italicize, or enclose the title in quotation marks).

Press the Enter key once to begin a new line (your line spacing is already set at double).

Click the Align Left icon or, from the menu bar, select Format and Paragraph, select the Indents and Spacing tab, and change Alignment to left.

Select Format from the menu bar and Paragraph. In the Indents and Spacing section, click Special and then click Hanging.

Type your first works cited entry in the MLA format.

6. Remove the hypertext from the Internet address.

Please note that the Internet address is not underlined in the above example. However, if your MS Word AutoCorrect option is in the default setting, when you type an Internet address or paste an Internet address into your document and then press the spacebar, the address will become a hypertext link. This is useful if you are writing a document and want to send the file to someone as an email attachment. Then the person can open the document and read it on the computer screen and click the link to connect to the Internet address. When you insert an Internet address into a document in the MLA format, it should not be underlined and highlighted as hypertext is. You can click your right mouse button and then click "remove hyperlink," but the hypertext will appear again for the next listing.

To make sure that no hypertext links appear, click "Tools" and then "AutoCorrect Options" on the menu bar:

When the "AutoCorrect" dialog box appears, select the AutoFormat As You Type" tab at the top of the dialog box and remove the check mark beside "Internet and network paths with hyperlinks." Then click "OK" at the bottom of the dialog box:

Your Research Paper's Format

Recommendations here are based on the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. It is important to note, however, that individual instructors and institutions or departments may vary from these recommendations somewhat and that it is always wise to consult with your instructor before formatting and submitting your work.

Paper:

Use white, twenty-pound, 81/2- by 11-inch paper. Erasable paper tends to smudge and should be avoided for a final draft. If you prefer to use erasable paper in the preparation of your paper, submit a good photocopy to your instructor.

Margins:

Except for page numbers (see below), leave one-inch margins all around the text of your paper -- left side, right side, and top and bottom. Paragraphs should be indented half an inch; set-off quotations should be indented an inch from the left margin (five spaces and ten spaces, respectively, on standard typewriters).

Spacing:

The MLA Guide says that "the research paper must be double-spaced," including quotations, notes, and the list of works cited.

Heading and Title:

Your research paper does not need a title page. At the top of the first page, at the left-hand margin, type your name, your instructor's name, the course name and number, and the date -- all on separate, double-spaced lines. Then double-space again and center the title above your text. (If your title requires more than one line, double-space between the lines.) Double-space again before beginning your text. The title should be neither underlined nor written in all capital letters. Capitalize only the first, last, and principal words of the title. Titles might end with a question mark or an exclamation mark if that is appropriate, but not in a period. Titles written in other languages are capitalized and punctuated according to different rules, and writers should consult the MLA Guide or their instructors.

Page Numbers:

Number your pages consecutively throughout the manuscript (including the first page) in the upper right-hand corner of each page, one-half inch from the top. Type your last name before the page number. Most word processing programs provide for a "running head," which you can set up as you create the format for the paper, at the same time you are establishing things like the one-inch margins and the double-spacing. This feature makes the appearance and consistency of the page numbering a great convenience. Make sure the page-number is always an inch from the right-hand edge of the paper (flush with the right-hand margin of your text) and that there is a double-space between the page number and the top line of text. Do not use the abbreviation p. or any other mark before the page number.

Tables and Figures:

Tables should be labeled "Table," given an arabic numeral, and captioned (with those words flush to the left-hand margin). Other material such as photographs, images, charts, and line-drawings should be labeled "Figure" and be properly numbered and captioned.

Binders:

Generally, the simpler the better. Why spend money on gimmicky, unwieldy, slippery binders, when instructors prefer nice, flat stacks of papers they can stuff into their briefcases and backpacks? A simple staple in the upper left-hand corner of your paper should suffice, although the MLA Guide suggests that a paper clip can be removed and this facilitates reading (which suggests to us that it's been a long time since the people at MLA have had to deal with stacks of student papers). Your instructors or their departments may have their own rules about binders, and you should consult with them about this matter.

Samples:

A sample research paper (with embedded commentary) is available in the Principles of Composition section of the Guide to Grammar and Writing. The same essay is available on the Guide to Grammar and Writing Forms of Communication page in an Acrobat Reader (.pdf) format.

Heuristics affacts us everywhere

Outlining, Heuristics, Free writing, Talking, Questioning are five techniques for inventing that I think may be useful.

But Heeuristic is the one I am interested in most...

According to the wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristics )

It refers to experience-based techniques for problem solving, learning, and discovery. Heuristic methods are used to speed up the process of finding a good enough solution, where an exhaustive search is impractical. Examples of this method include using a "rule of thumb", an educated guess, an intuitive judgment, or common sense.

A heuristic is a tool that helps you think about a topic, it gets you thinking about important considerations like audience and purpose. In my project #4, I would like to develop this skill to attract audience by my topic and word.

Power and Privilege

At the beginning of this post, I would like to tell about what Power and Privilege in my mind. You can familiar with them only see the word...power...and...Privilege..are divided by Identity Personality Group dynamics Privilege Community....the advantages that nobody has except you. You can image that in your mind...like; someone who works in the government wants to meet the governor, no complicated application letter, no body searching before meeting and nobody would research about his/her background...

In friends’ network I think I have the most power and privilege in. Because, I am kind generous and good at communicate with people. People who are friends can feel the leader spirit when around me. I like to negotiate with people who come with argument and win. I have a lot of life experience I can share when I was in china. My friends like to hear advises from me and try them. I solved a lot of problem by using my network as friendship. Power and Privilege are open for anyone like me, has ability to convenience people, lead people to the right. When you have any issue, this network always open for you, because, you are the central.

what am I gonna use //???

what am I gonna use in my website as a web-designer and un-professional actor..>>??

(Key words: web-design ,links ,media using, information literacy)

These are some online resources I want to use in my project #3.

http://www.movies.com/movie-news/x-men-first-class-reviews/3198

http://www.movies.com/the-hangover-part-ii/m64941

These only two of my links but they are have connection between them. Different kinds of movie, different types and different stories. But, language is greater than the action show is the first common. For an international students, the media information comes first and faster than the language, because, we couldn't understand everything at whole time. However, in these two movies, the media information gives so much less than the conversion. The reason they also attracted the audience are the beauty of the information literacy. I want to use the comparison as the hot topic in my discussion room in project #3. I will give more pictures and video cuts for discussion to accomplish my requirement of especially invention, arrangement, writing technologies, media, modes, purposes in IARD and T-MmAPSS.

......I already updated a video by corporate with my friends (http://lbchaochao.tumblr.com/page/3)which I will leave notes and "thank you" kind of paragraph and post them below the video and links all of my friends' blog there to make sure audience can get a chance to know them. Furthermore , I would like to tape some of back stage video and update them for entertainment.

Reciprocal empathy

There is no specific meaning of it, But , when we see the words separately ........reciprocal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal

empathyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empathy

FOR ME..........Reciprocal empathy is an action to empathy each other, understand each other and concession with no notify.

This is a total Psychological action.

In family network, it is a great way to concession and gets forgiveness. When parents try to convenience me to do something is not right and reasonable. I used to lead them to my attitude and analyze my situation. I used to changed parents thoughts. Furthermore, when I got an awful grade and not be able to face them. I tried to explain everything from the other side of the grade. Like how hard I studied or the grade and relaxed the weakness and promised to it better next time.
