How to Determine a Reliable Source on the Internet

The most effective method to Determine a Reliable Source on the Internet It tends to be baffling to lead online exploration since web sources can be very untrustworthy. In the event that you locate an online article that gives significant data to your examination theme, you should take care to explore the source to ensure it is legitimate and dependable. This is a basic advance in keeping up sound exploration morals. It is your duty as a scientist to discover and utilize dependable sources. Strategies to Investigate Your Source Examine the Author Much of the time, you should avoid web data that doesnt give the name of a creator. While the data contained in the article might be valid, it is progressively hard to approve data on the off chance that you dont know the accreditations of the writer. On the off chance that the creator is named,â find their site to: Check instructive creditsDiscover if the essayist is distributed in an insightful journalSee if the author has distributed a book from a college pressVerify that the essayist is utilized by an examination foundation or college Watch the URL In the event that the data is connected to an association, attempt to decide the dependability of the supporting association. One tip is the URL finishing. On the off chance that the site name closes with .edu, it is undoubtedly an instructive foundation. All things being equal, you ought to know about political predisposition. On the off chance that a webpage finishes in .gov, it is in all probability a solid government site. Government destinations are normally acceptable hotspots for measurements and target reports. Destinations that end in .organization are typically non-benefit associations. They can be generally excellent sources or extremely poor sources, so youll need to take care to explore their potential plans or political predispositions in the event that they exist. For example, collegeboard.org is the association that gives the SAT and different tests. You can discover significant data, measurements, and counsel on that site. PBS.org is a non-benefit association that gives instructive open communicates. It gives an abundance of value articles on its site. Different destinations with the .organization finishing are backing bunches that are profoundly political. While it is totally conceivable to discover dependable data from a site like this,â be aware of the political inclination and recognize this in your work. Online Journals and Magazines A trustworthy diary or magazine ought to contain a book reference for each article. The rundown of sources inside that list of sources ought to be truly broad, and it ought to incorporate academic non-Internet sources. Check for measurements and information inside the article to back up the cases made by the writer. Does the author give proof to help his announcements? Search for references of late examinations, maybe with commentaries and check whether there are essential statements from other applicable specialists in the field. News Sources ï » ¿Every TV and print news source has a site. Somewhat, you can depend on the most believed news sources, for example, CNN and the BBC, yet you ought not depend on them solely. All things considered, system and link news stations are associated with diversion. Consider them a venturing stone to increasingly solid sources.

Definition and Examples of Performative Verbs

Definition and Examples of Performative Verbs In English grammarâ and discourse act hypothesis, a performative action word is aâ verbâ that unequivocally passes on the sort of discourse act being performed-such asâ promise, welcome, apologize, foresee, pledge, demand, caution, insist,â andâ forbid. Otherwise called discourse act action word orâ performative utterance.â The idea of performative verbsâ was presented by Oxford thinker J. L. Austin in How to Do Things With Wordsâ (1962) and further created by American scholar J.R. Searle, among others. Austin evaluated that a decent word reference contains as much as 10,000 performative or discourse act action words. Models and Observations Performative action words name activities that are performed, entirely or incompletely, by saying something (state, guarantee); non-performative action words name different sorts of activities, kinds of activity which are free of discourse (walk, rest).- Kirsten Malmkjaer, Speech-Act Theory. The Linguistics Encyclopedia, second ed. Routledge, 2004As your legal counselor, your sibling, and your companion, I enthusiastically suggest that you show signs of improvement attorney.- David Patrick Kelly as Jerry Horne in Twin Peaks, 1990The personnel at Ohios Bowling Green State University vetoed a teachers arranged seminar on political accuracy. Kathleen Dixon, chief of womens learns at the college, clarified: We disallow any course that says we limit free discourse.- George Will, Newsweek. Decemberâ 25, 2000I pronounce, he stated, with the mamma I got its a marvel I ended up being such a decent kid!- Flannery OConnor, Greenleaf. The Kenyon Review, 1957As your leader, I would request a s ci-fi library, including an ABC of the class. Asimov, Bester, Clarke.- Martin Prince in Lisas Substitute. The Simpsons, 1991 ApologizingBy saying we apologize we play out an expressive demonstration at the same time with the naming of that expressive demonstration. It is thus that apologize is known as a performative action word, characterized as an action word indicating phonetic activity that can both depict a discourse demonstration and express it. This clarifies why we can say that we are heartbroken, yet not that we are sorry for somebody elses benefit in light of the fact that be sorry just communicates, yet doesn't portray the demonstration of making a statement of regret.- R. Dirven and M. Verspoor, Cognitive Exploration of Language and Linguistics. John Benjamins, 2004Hedged PerformativesGenerally, the performative verb...is in the basic present dynamic and the subject is I, yet the action word might be in the straightforward present detached and the subject need not be I: Smoking is illegal; The board of trustees expresses gratitude toward you for your administrations. A test for whether an actio n word is being utilized performatively is the conceivable inclusion of thus: I therefore apologize; The board of trustees thus says thanks to you. In supported performatives, the action word is available however the discourse demonstration is performed in a roundabout way: In saying I should apologize for my conduct, the speaker is communicating a commitment to make a statement of regret, yet infers that the affirmation of that commitment is equivalent to an expression of remorse. Interestingly, I was sorry is a report, and Must I am sorry? is a solicitation for guidance.- S. Greenbaum, The Oxford Companion to the English Language. Oxford University Press,â 1992

SCIENCE!

SCIENCE! Signs that I would someday Do Science can be traced to when I was 6 +/- 1 years old and decided to make a space-themed board game. Heres a sample tile that my sister and I have since rediscovered. Ive also rediscovered a diary that I kept in first grade. My favorite entry reads (unfortunately I dont have a picture): One day I went to Nasa!  It was fun, very fun! I went on a ride that looks like this*. then when I got home I cont think of anithing But Nasa! So I Dicided to mak a book about Dinosaurs! So I set to work. *Accompanied by a drawing of what I assume was meant to be a spaceship. Apparently I was a little confused about what NASA was, or did. I dont think I ever actually went to NASA; maybe I went to a science museum and saw some NASA signs in the space section and figured that thats what the whole building was. The point is: I thought space was cool. High School science was a less successful experience. In 9th grade, we looked at fruit flies under a microscope.  I kept accidentally squashing or over-etherizing them, and almost threw up. I had to leave the room when our teacher told us to etherize the rest. In 10th grade occurred The Burning Crucible Incident. I had been heating some sample (dont remember what anymore) for a while, and got some tongs to lift the burning-hot crucible. I clamped down, and lifted and the crucible slipped and fell down the sleeve of my lab coat.  I shrieked and started flailing my arm like a maniac. The crucible shot out of my sleeve at a gajillion miles per hour and soared through the air in perfect projectile motion, above everyones heads, before smashing on the floor by my teachers desk. As I rushed to the sink, my teacher made my partner Max clean it up. Good times. A few years later,  crucible-flinging me had become Me In My Last Year of Teenagerhood, and thrilled to find herself doing Real  Space-Related Science at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. There, I learned that Real Science can also be ugly, although since all my work was computer-based there was a smaller chance of me flinging a burning crucible and killing someone. That feeling, when you finish writing a script, and are about to plot your data in a way that you hope will tease out some deep elegant meaning, and you triumphantly run your script in the command line, and see this: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO After 30-ish seconds of coronary arrest, I realized what was wrong (it was connecting dots it shouldnt have been connecting) and sorted it out. I thought that my friend Eric would find this amusing, so I took a screenshot and e-mailed it to him. He was so amused that he put it on Facebook for the world to see, along with the caption This summer, the world is training its next generation of people to unravel the mysteries of space. So far, theyve found this piece of art :P Thanks, Eric. Anyway, this obviously wasnt a big deal I just made a silly mistake. But I made a lot of mistakes this summer. My gaffes could fill a small treatise. On occasion, I spent three days charging down a line of reasoning before checking in with my mentor: Mentor: UhhhAnna? What exactly are you doing? Me: OH, let me explain! (blah blah) Mentor: Ummmhm. Im not sure I understand that. (very polite explanation of why what Im doing makes absolutely no sense) Now, maybe you have a thicker skin than me, but my personal instinct the first time this happened was to never try anything ever again, for fear that this exchange would repeat itself. I wanted to follow instructions, keep my head downanything to protect my Personal Dignity bubble. Of course, this bubble didnt last for very long, because 1) Im not very good at keeping my head down and 2) I had Science to do, so when the next thing came up that I wanted to experiment with I did. And the conversation happened again. And again. And again, and each time I felt my skin get a little thicker. The embarrassment was still there, trust me but I got better at letting it roll off. (amount of time you have to be awesome) = (amount of time spent being brave and excited) (amount of time spent being mortified), and I wanted to maximize my potential to be awesome, so you do the math. That said, I remember thinking that I should only be paid for hours spent generating results.  If I wasnt generating results, then surely no one would consider it WORKING. Surely everyone else at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory is 100% productive, ALWAYS. (you can hear how crazy this sounds already.) One day during my first week, I stayed at work really late, and when my office-mate asked why, I told him it was because I didnt feel that I had earned my hours for that day. He shook his head at me. Anna. You spent all day working. Me: but I didnt get anything DONE! Office-mate: You DID get stuff done. Me: but I spent half the day doing it wrong, so now I need to make up those lost hours by doing it right! Office-mate: Doing it wrong the first time was a step towards doing it right the second time. He was totally right. I also learned, after a week or two of thinking I must be the Dumbest Human Being Alive, that its not just me. One of my friends spent a week and a half fabricating a perfect piece of electronics, only to touch it in the wrong place and short-circuit it. Another friend once announced to his mentor that the substance they were testing didnt corrode his sample AT ALL, only to be told that it had actually corroded an ENTIRE LAYER; he hadnt been able to distinguish between the original surface and the newly-exposed one. At group meetings, I regularly saw graduate students stuck, going in the wrong direction, questioning whether what they had been doing for the past month or even more was at all useful. I saw faculty members and professional astronomers argue over the validity of a method or a result. I was surprised, although I shouldnt have been and part of joining their ranks was becoming comfortable arguing and defending my methods against their criticism. Arguing and defending my methods against their criticism is a nice description of what Junior Lab oral exams are like. My professor in particular is very aggressive with the questioning, and in the 15 minutes of QA following my presentation on Poisson statistics, I got torn to shreds. Instead of defending myself properly, I just sort of stood there and let my mouth flap open and closed. The next time, I was much more prepared, mentally, although the preparation process was super stressful. The day before the oral, my result for the brightness temperature of the sun at the 21cm wavelength was: 70,000  +/- 140,000 Kelvin. In case you dont spot whats wrong with that, let me give you a hint: error bars should NOT be an order of magnitude higher than the value. Fortunately, just like the plotting gaffe, I managed to figure out what was wrong and get my numbers to reasonable values. A few days ago, my friend and her lab partner measured the speed of cosmic-ray muons to be one point eight times the speed of light. Better than another friend and his partner, who took the class two years ago and measured the muon speed to be three times the speed of light. Breaking physics is awkward. As much as J-Lab is Experimental Physics bootcamp, it is also Dealing With Your Gaffes bootcamp. My  section is at 9am-noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays,  which may sound luxurious to you non-college-kids, but thats about the earliest that classes start here at MIT and I do NOT function at 9am. This exponentially increases the probability that I will do or say something embarrassing. In one of our first sessions, I tried to convince my partner Eric that multiplying by a really small number results in a really big number; he just stared at me until, thirty seconds into my explanation, I listened to what I was saying and facedesked. More recently, I tried to convince him that 1000 seconds was something like 3 hours, because 60 times 60 is 360* *Its not. During our second experiment, Eric accidentally took out a sample before we were done and we had to start all over again the next time. Weeks later, the two of us spent an entire section trying to get the microscope to focus, only to be told that we had the slide upside-down. Some of my friends have spent sections getting absolutely no useful data whatsoever strictly speaking, this shouldnt happen, because one should be analyzing ones data as it comes in, but lets be real it happens. And when it happens, your procedure is: 1) (optional) Be mortified for a maximum of five seconds 2) Laugh at yourself, and tell a couple of friends so you can lol about it together 3) Get over it 4) Try very hard not to do it again Back to the summer, and the National Radio Astro Observatory, where I was fiddling with pulsars and felt a bit like I was making a fool out of myself. About two and a half weeks into the research program,  I sent my supervisor an e-mail explaining a method I had devised to filter some pulsar candidates. I admit that I was sort of expecting the usual sorrywhat? and was utterly amazed when his response was: NiceThats very cool. He gave some more suggestions, and finished with Nice work with this! WOAH. Mind blown. And lesson learned: the excitement of coming up with something new TOTALLY outweighs the embarrassment of making a mistake. Gaffes are an inevitable, hilarious part of getting there. And make for good bonding with your J-Lab partner.

Expressed Emotion, Attribution, And Control Essay - 726 Words

Topic: Expressed Emotion, Attribution, and Control in Parents of Schizophrenic Patients In this study, Peterson and Docherty examines the emotional state of parents with schizophrenic young adults. The intent of this research was to detect whether or not overinvolved parents of schizophrenic people, blame themselves for the patients’ illness, as well as controlling behavior toward others. 54 parents of schizophrenic patients were assessed with the Camberwell Family Interview. As a result, parents who were overly involved blamed themselves for the patients’ illness more than parents who were less controlling. This research is a valuable source for my research, it is a concise overview of the role parents play in the development and treatment for young adults with schizophrenia. Peterson, E.

Martin Luther King Impact - 1553 Words

The Civil Rights Movement was the unification between all parts of society, the blacks, the whites, the rich, and the poor. There were several attempts by many people and groups to help bring amalgamation and equality for everyone. Martin Luther King was the key person involved in this movement, with no major competition for the overall leadership of the movement from 1957 to the mid 1960s . He attempted to alleviate the sense of crisis that pervaded America during the Civil Rights Era. King was the driving force behind pivotal moments that have passed the test of time, such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott, what is considered to be the first important civil rights campaign, and the 1963 March on Washington. A firm believer of non-violent†¦show more content†¦Without the presence and support of King, the Bus Boycott may not have continued, as his persuasive speech, including religious vocabulary, convinced his supporters to persist with the protesting. At a mass gathering, the Montgomery Improvement Association voted to continue the Boycott after King performed his speech, â€Å"I want it to be known that we’re going to work with grim and bold determination to gain justice on the buses in this city. And we are not wrong†¦ if we are wrong, the Supreme Court of the Nation is wrong. If we are wrong, the Constitution of the United States is wrong. If we are wrong, God Almighty is wrong.† Given the environment, his references to God were the most effective way in encouraging the religious people of Montgomery to pursue their protesting. Linked with mentions of legal documents, his argument became unbreakable and appealed to all parts of society. Oratory skills – unique The 1963 March on Washington further exemplified the political significance of King. Due to its peaceful nature, President Kennedy, who preferred to agree with them protesting in an amicable manner, rather than rioting, did not prove to be an opposition to the march.

There are currently 129 health care organizations in the United States, Australia and Singapore that have completed designation from the Pathway to Excellence ® (American Nurses Credentialing Center, 2014). A questionnaire is performed after designation to allow the health care organization an opportunity to convey perceived benefits, barriers, and lasting imprints from participating in the Pathway to Excellence ® Program. The Pathway to Excellence ® Program touts 12 practice standards or core concepts that are nursing centered including the ability of nurses to control the practice of nursing and recognition of nursing for achievement (see Appendix A) (American Nurses Credentialing Center, 2014). These standards have shown evidence of overall nursing satisfaction, which is a key influencer in nursing satisfaction and retention. Pella Regional Health Center provides a post-designation exemplar of participation in the Pathway to Excellence ® Program. Key outcomes included that 99% of nurses felt a key part of quality improvement strategies, 96% felt they were a key part of changes to patient care standards, and 98% felt nurses were involved in professional development strategies (Drafahl, Beyer, Chow, 2012).

Questions: 1.What does Professor Soderstroms article say about the relative role of regulation and voluntary action in the Development of this reporting? 2.The Committee recommended (in 2006 - Recommendations section, #5) that sustainability reporting in Australia should remain voluntary what were the main arguments for this? 3.What does this commentator say about the Potential shortcomings of the GRI? 4.What do you think are the three most distinctive and significant ideas in this (integrated reporting) Emerging Framework? Answers: 1.According to professor Soderstrom regulation role has significantly impacted the voluntary action of this reporting. The law commissions have passed some legislation that governs the industries on waste release to the environment. These laws have significantly impacted on the industrial disclosure concerning the amount of waste to be released since something measured can be managed. Over the years the Australian law required for all the industries to produce reports relating to waste disposal, and this has had a tremendous effect on the environment since waste disposal reduced to a controllable level. Environmental matters have become a top priority to the societies, and the cooperation has been pressurized to work according to the legislation. In any action, they take reports should be produced to certify if it is by the law. A favorable environment has some positive impact on financial consideration for the cooperation and the future market success. 2.The main arguments why sustainability reporting should remain voluntarily in Australia was based on the fact that, mandatory reporting will create some of the added cost on businesses which will result to amenability mentality. Commonwealth legislation works only on the conservational and health safety problems. However, this does not establish to sustainability commentary framework, since it covers only specific matters. Therefore, on the issue of additional cost on businesses, mandatory reporting will significantly add a layer of compliance cost to many Australian companies, thus affecting its operability. Meeting compliance cost requirements is usually high, and it increases over time thus arguably showing why this reporting should be voluntary. Also, the issue of conformity mentality being adopted by the companies, pose a significant risk to this companies because they go with what the council requires of them at the expense of their best interest. So, this should not be the ca se because it will be a dangerous move to make. 3.Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), on sustainability reporting, was presented to be an act of revealing, measuring and holding the accountability of the organizational internal and external stakeholders towards goal presentation of maintainable development. Thus, this is a shortcoming because sustainability report is meant to provide a well-adjusted and rational representation of the proper performance of a reporting organization that should include both positive and negative involvement. The broad idea is that financial report should not be the first report being produced but also the environmental performance report which should be part of the sustainability reporting because it has an impact on the future market success. 4.Since the financial reports are separate from the other reports, integrated reporting will bring all these stories into one major report containing all these materials. And the main idea behind this is that a single document will represent all facets of sustainability. Also, it provides a clear and precise picture of how the organization generates value and establishes stewardship now and in the future. Furthermore, integrated reporting will bring information substantial together about a group supremacy, approach and prospects in a way that will show profitable, ecological and social context within which it operates, and this will have improved the sustainable business and its environment.

Tips for Teachers on Creating a Dyslexia-Friendly Classroom

Tips for Teachers on Creating a Dyslexia-Friendly Classroom A dyslexia  friendly classroom begins with a dyslexia friendly teacher. The first step toward making your classroom a welcoming learning environment for students with dyslexia is to learn about it. Understand how dyslexia impacts a childs ability to learn and what the main symptoms are. Unfortunately, dyslexia is still misunderstood. Many people believe that dyslexia is when children ​reverse letters and while this can be a sign of dyslexia in young children, there is much more to this language-based learning disabilities. The more you know about dyslexia, the better you can help your students. As a teacher, you may worry about neglecting the rest of your class as you institute changes for one or two students with dyslexia. It is estimated that 10 percent to 15 percent of students have dyslexia. That means you probably have at least one student with dyslexia and possibly there are additional students that have never been diagnosed. The strategies you implement in your classroom for students with dyslexia will benefit all of your students. When you makes changes to help students with dyslexia, you are making positive changes for the entire class. Changes You Can Make in the Physical Environment Have an area of the room designated as a quiet area. Carpeting this area will help keep down noise. Minimize distractions to allow students with dyslexia to have an area they can read or concentrate on class work. For students with dyslexia who are showing signs of anxiety, this can be a time-out area when they are feeling very nervous, upset or frustrated.Place analog and digital clocks on the wall, right next to each other. This will help students see both ways of showing time, connecting the digital time with how it looks on a clock.Set aside several areas of the board for daily information. Write down the day and date each morning and post the days homework assignments each morning. Use the same spot each day and make your writing large enough for them to easily see it from their seats. Large writing helps students with dyslexia find their place when copying information into their notebooks.Post high-frequency words and information that is used often around the room. For younger children, this could be the alphabet, for elementary age children it could be the days of the week, for older children it could be word walls of vocabulary words. Strips with this information can be taped to the students desk as well. This helps to reduce memory work and lets children with dyslexia focus on other skills. For younger children, add pictures to the words to help them connect the written word with the object. Have children with dyslexia sit near the teacher. This doesnt necessarily mean they must sit in the first seat but they should be able to easily see the teacher using peripheral vision. Students should also be seated away from talkative children to minimize distractions. Teaching Methods Use slower speech and simple sentences. Students with dyslexia may need a longer time to process information, use pauses when speaking to give them time. Integrate examples and visual representations in lessons to help aid in comprehension.Provide worksheets for organizing information for writing assignments. Have templates with different types of writing frames and mind maps that students can choose from when preparing a writing assignment.Do not require a student with dyslexia to read aloud in class. If the student volunteers, let him read. You might want to offer a student the opportunity to read aloud and give her a few paragraphs to read and practice at home before speaking out loud.Integrate different ways for students to show their knowledge of a subject. Use visual presentations, powerpoint projects, poster boards and discussions to help a child participate without feeling embarrassed or fearing failure.Use multi-sensory lessons. Students with dyslexia have been found to lear n better when more than one sense is activated. Use art projects, skits, and hands-on activities to reinforce lessons. Assessments and Grading Allow students with dyslexia to use electronic helpers when completing class work or tests. Examples include an electronic dictionary, speller or thesaurus, computers and talking calculators.Do not take off points for spelling. If you mark spelling errors, do so separately and create a list of words frequently misspelled for students to refer to during writing assignments.Offer oral testing and extended time for formal assessments. Working Individually with Students In the beginning of the school year, work closely with a student to assess their knowledge of phonics and set up a plan and specific practice sessions to help strengthen weak areas.Assess a students strengths and weaknesses. Use teaching methods to help build on strengths. Children with dyslexia may have strong reasoning and problem-solving skills. Use these as building blocks.Praise a childs achievements, no matter how small.Use positive reinforcement programs, instituting rewards and consequences to help a child learn to cope with symptoms of dyslexia.Supply a schedule of the school day. For younger children include pictures.Above all, remember that students with dyslexia are not stupid or lazy.

Bending moment in a beam Lab Report Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words

Bending moment in a beam - Lab Report Example l try to explain how bending occurs in simply supported beams, and it will also compare measured or the experimental values of bending moments with that of the theoretical values of the bending moments. The bending moments of different cross –sectional areas have different formulae of calculating the moments. This experiment will use a rectangular shaped cross-sectional beam for easier working and better understanding. The main objective of this simple experiment is to determine the bending of a beam that is simply supported that is subjected to the various loads that are arranged as shown below. The experiment will also help to compare the measured or the experimental values of bending moments with the values calculated using the theoretical approach. In this experiment, a simply supported beam, a spring load gauge and weights placed in weight hangers are used. A level spirit gauge is also used to check whether the beam is properly aligned. A simply supported beam is pivoted at a point and then loaded with different weights. A spring load gauge is connected to the beam at the pivot. The apparatus is as shown in the diagram. The span of the beam (L) and the distance to the bending moment position (x) from the left support are to be measured, and the values are recorded. The vertical distance between the pivot point and the spring load gauge (y) is to be measured too, and the value is recorded. The beam is then leveled by adjusting the horizontal spring load gauge and checked with a spirit level. Load hangers are then applied to the beam at the positions shown in the above diagram, and the positions are then recorded. Masses of 0.5 kilograms or 1.0 kilogram are added to the load hangers as shown in the table below. The beam is then leveled by adjusting the horizontal spring load gauge and checked with a spirit level. The reading from the horizontal spring load gauge is recorded. Remove all the loads from the hangers and repeat the steps from measuring and

Examining The Dangers Of Social Networking Media Essay

Examining The Dangers Of Social Networking Media Essay Social networking websites are web based services where one can create a public profile within almost virtual community. One can have a list of other users (friends) with whom they share a connection with, as well as view information on friends of friends. The main purpose of social networking sites is to build relations between friends who share similar interests. Most of these sites provide instant messaging and email services but are on a high level so that there is an element of complexity eg special software application tools are available in facebook which increase the users presence on that website. . Social networking recently has become a major part of the internet. In fac,t social networking sites are everywhere, nearly every person who has access to the computer and internet indulges with social network related sites on daily basis. Commom sites such as facebook, MySpace, hi5, Bebo and YouTube have millions of visitors daily. Facebook alone, has over 500 million users which make it the most popular social network website on Earth. According to Facebook , 50 % of their users are active users who log on facebook daily and People spend over 700 billion minutes per month on Facebook. The rapid increase in popularity of social network such as facebook has encouraged organisations to allow access to these sites within their networks. However many people now question social networks, the popularity of these sites has raised both security and privacy issues of its users. Millions of teenagers and adults exchange and share their personal interests and personal information such as photo s, videos etc, therefore one can learn almost anything about someone or stranger (If the profile page is open to anyone) who they maynot have met before, from their birthday to who their friends are and other personal information such as relationship status. There are many problems and dangers in using social networks however in contrasts there are considerable benefits of using social networks. Social networking is undisputedly one of the easiest way to keep in touch with family and friends as well as a channel in meeting new people with similar interests. One can make connect with people not presently in conact, for example staff in an organisation, students or alumni. Thus, social networking has made it very easy to make new friends or even meet old friends, which is a major benefit of social networking. Now, within the business world, social networking sites can also provide easy opportunity for anyone to advertise. This could either mean advertise an upcoming event or any other form of business advertising. The most important benefit of social networking sites like facebook or MySpace is that it gives an individualan opportunity to create an image of themselves through their profile, in a way he or she wants to be represented. It also gives them the chance to express themselves. There is a strong sense of being able to express ones own creativity. For this reason people find the sites almost personally fulfilling to be part of. Social networking sites have considerable benefits in allowing users to keep in touch with one other. Before social networking, people were only able to stay in touch with friends, families via phone, emails letters or online messengers, but it was very awkward and difficult to maintain contact due lack of communication tools. But sites like facebook have made staying in touch with people much easier where user can also emails as well as do live chat. Use of mobile phones and home computers with cheap internet has opened the doors for users all over the world, thus social networking has rose more than ten fold in the last decade. There is more pressure on people to use the sites because it has becaome almost part of modern living. The benefits somewhat seem to outweight any disadvantage even though the general public may not know at length where significant dangers lie in not setting appropriate User boundries for the applications or not using the applications with care and security. Social networking allow individuals to express themselves. The most popular way for an individual to express them self is by creating a profile which gives basic details about their personality such as personal interests, hobbies and education etc. One can add there details of hobbies and interests which might envoke other users to remain contact with similar interests and create social network between them. Social network sites, such as MySpace allows user to be creative by letting them design their own profile with different colour schemes and background pictures as well as using their own html codes for different layouts. Users such as music artist or writers can also show their creative side by writing blogs to let people know what is going on in their life. Creative artists such musicians, actors etc often use social networking to expand their fan base by using their profile in effect to advertise themselves. They can also get rapid feedbacks on any expressedtype of new ideas fr om their fans However despite all the positives of social networking the negatives overshadow the positives. Social networking has completely changed the nature of privacy by allowing individuals to obtain information of one individual without much effort. Social networking sites do not educate their users of apparent or hidden dangers in publishing their personal information on the World Wide Web. Even if a user is cautious about protecting their privacy it is very difficult for them to absolutely control who can view what on their profile pages. Most of the social networking sites have privacy tools which are not flexible enough to protect users data. This is because they have limited options of just to make the profile private (only friends can view it ) or public ( every one can view)à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦.. Social networking has also provided a new way for phishing and scamming to fraudsters. Scams can be posted as comments on an individuals profile or sent as private messages. This could encourage users to click on links that might link to fake version of that social networking site asking to enter logging detail or any other personal detail. This site might have no functionality apart from redirecting the user back to the original social networking site after the user has entered his/her login detail. That way, the scammer can use the login detail to have full access to the victims profile, which then can be used to scam more users and sell their personal detaisl on black market. According to Symantec monthly report [10] on spam phishing, 92 % of phishing scams were carried out through social networking sites. This shows that social networking is a leading area for scammers to either steal personal details or send spams. Figures from fishtank.com [11] show that FaceBook is the 7th mo st targeted website of phishing scams in 2009, this figure might have increased in 2010. According to the article in the guardian paper, lately many phishing attacks have been carried out through Facebook , fraudsters have sent spam messages to users which link to the fbstarter.com or fbaction.net. These sites were phishing scams which looked as if they are Geneon sites, but were used to steel login details of facebook users. However facebook has announced that they have blocked the fbaction.net links from facebook website and messages that links to fbaction.net. Social networking is very common in teenagers or underage users. Most of these teenagers dont take into account or acknowledge the dangers of social networking sites. To them, all the social sites seem innocent. Most of these kids use these sites only to stay in touch with friend. Social networks are a hub for paedophiles and perverts. This is because majority of the children post too much personal imformation. Not just their name, but they post their photos, addresses and the school that they attend. Social networking sites provide neccessary information that these criminal predators need in order to target vulnerable kids. Majority of the parents are also not aware of common dangers in misuse of the sites. Also they may be unaware that their child has access to them or worse still is addicted to them. There are reports, worldwide, of grave concequences of children being involved in such incidents where sites have provides a main medium of communication with the children putting the mselves in dangerous situations. Facts show that out 10 teenagers, at least one has posted a nude/semi nude photos of them self on their profile [15]. An adult can become aware enough and handle all ofl the dangers of posting personal information on a social networking site but it might not be obvious to children, since they simply are not mature nor have developed enough,in mind, to comprehend the complexity of social networking. However, this danger could be prevented if children not only educated about what they should post on the profile and how they should post restricted material but also protected. Carers or parents should know what children are exposed to and what activities they conduct. The use of privacy settings on sites such as facebook can also help to prevent these dangers. One interesting aspect is when an employee can overlook his /her posting on any social networking site and talk about themselves for example to a potential employer. Thay may present a picture of themselves completely differnt to that of the one on thir social site. How are they to know that these details have not been viewed by that person. One example is that they may tell a lie about their whereabouts to someone only to discover that they have found the truth about them on a social site eg on holiday or out shopping instead of sick, at home and off work . It is clear that there is evidence suggesting that social networking is very dangerous indeed, but it is very difficult to ignore social;l trends locally and on a global scale. Can we live without a system that has breeded into our society so rapidly and deeply that it has an impoact on our day to day habits, even sleep is effected. Some people are suffering from an insomnia syndrome due to addictions on ef facebook poker and Farmville and the worrying issue is that the users are now the very young ones, small children. One great disadvantage is the impact on verbal and communication skills for children. The findings are is that children are missing out on being verbally competent, thay are learming to speak properly later in life due to chatting on the internet, thay are more shy or reserved. This danger is one of the impact on society and the future generation. Insead of talking and reasoning verbally, they are typing into the keyboard. Perhaps talking on the phone is better for humans because true emotion can be expressed and maybe we use a different parts of our minds. How much control do you think we will have over this. Social networking is here to saty because Such a big user level No one person has control over it Too many uses Will always be delveoping Too much meny to be made in it May be part of our future jobs May need it for Dangers have to be managed Are there but its have they are controlled/stopped/ Have to have a deeper understanding of what danger is, its impact on us today and toimarrow.. learn from mistakes and continuously work together to protect people and educate them Face [10]http://eval.symantec.com/mktginfo/enterprise/other_resources/b- state_of_spam_and_phishing_report_02-2010.en-us.pdf [11] http://www.phishtank.com/stats/2009/03/ [12] http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/apr/30/facebook-phishing-scam http://www.yourteenager.co.uk/facebook-your-teen.html http://life.familyeducation.com/teen/internet-safety/57657.html?page=2 [15]http://articles.sfgate.com/2009-08-10/news/17175229_1_social-networking-sites-social-networking-teens

cloning :: essays papers

cloning Abstract As bioethics Leon R. Kass points out in his essay The Wisdom of Repugnance, those who defend human cloning regard themselves mainly as friends of freedom: the freedom of individuals to reproduce, the freedom of scientists and inventors to discover and devise and to foster ‘progress’ in genetic knowledge and technique." Kass goes on to stress that in fact, a "right to reproduce" has always been a peculiar and problematic notion. Rights generally belong to individuals, but this is a right which (before cloning) no one can exercise alone. Does the right then inhere only in couples? Only in married couples? Is it a (woman’s) right to carry or deliver or a right (of one or more parents) to nurture and rear? Is it a right to have your own biological child? Is it a right only to attempt reproduction, or a right also to succeed? Is it a right to acquire the baby of one’s choice? Critical analysis Kass debate on human cloning has brought to the surface a glaring deficiency of bioethics. It has few if any good methods for dealing with new and novel technologies. By that I mean those technologies where there seem to be no relevant historical precedents and where the potential benefits and harms are speculative only, not yet available for empirical testing. How might we best try to assess such technologies, and what counts as a good or bad argument for ethics and for public policy? Nor is it reasonable to insist on "empirical evidence" of benefit or harm when the scientific outcomes are still in the future and wholly speculative in nature. Such evidence could become available only when human cloning was a reality; and then it could take years or decades after that to determine whether it had been a wise move to allow the research to go forward in the first place. The key issue here is not genetic determinism or genetic identity but the preservation of individuality — by no means the same as genetic identity. Even so-called "identical" twins are not wholly identical genetically; that is well known. More to the point here is the issue of parents trying to use children for parental ends, procreating them with traits chosen by the parents for the purr-poses of the parents, not the welfare of the children. We happily accept twins when they are born, but no parents I have heard of go out of their way to procreate twins, or turn to assisted reproduction specialists to procreate twins. cloning :: essays papers cloning Abstract As bioethics Leon R.

A Brief Look at DNA Profiling - 1366 Words

DNA profiling has several advantages in helping solve crimes, however, there are still disadvantages to this technique. DNA profiling can be beneficial, as well as detrimental to the society we live in. DNA profiling has become the most widely used tool in the field of forensics because of the advantages it has to offer, although there are some drawbacks when it comes to utilizing this technique. DNA profiling has greatly enhanced law enforcement investigation by helping determine the suspect in a criminal investigation, minimizing the amount of unjustified arrests, and by overturning wrongful guilty sentencing. While DNA profiling has advantages in the field of forensics, it also has disadvantages. A few of the key disadvantages of DNA profiling are easy contamination, wrongful convictions, and access to and use of data. One of the foundations in the field of forensics is the examination of DNA. DNA is the digenetic element which exists in each and every cell. Every human being has an exclusive analysis of DNA. In fact, there are even a small amount of variations among the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of identical twins. DNA profiling was established in the 1980s by Sir Alec Jeffreys, a scientist from Britain. Investigators can obtain DNA for profiling from various evidence from a crime scene. DNA can be obtained from vital fluid, semen, epidermis, saliva, mucus, sweat and roots of hair. Additionally, profiling can be performed on old, as well as dried out specimens.
