...Reyna Fuentes Professor Carlton Abernathy Comm 1307: Intro to Mass Communication 6 July 2016 Social Media Influences How many of us remember being a pre-teen or teenager? Those crucial middle school and high school years can be rough on their own but add social media sites like Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat and life as a young adolescent can be publicized and critiqued more so by hundreds of people you might not even know. Social media is a term used to describe the interaction between groups or individuals in which they produce, share, and sometimes exchange ideas over the internet and in virtual communities. The impact of social media on young adolecents is significant, children are growing up surrounded by mobile devices and interactive social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat which has made the social media a vital aspect of their life. Social media is transforming the manner in which teenages interact with their parents, peers, as well as how they make use of technology. If not used properly however social media can be used in a negative context. My niece has been a victim of social cyberbullying on 2 of the 3 sites named above. She is a gorgeous 15yr old girl with full potential to take life by storm. Unfortunately, a group of her peers didn’t feel the same about her they not only shamed her at school but would post things on Facebook and Instagram about her. I believe the infatuation today’s world has with posting everything...

...self-loathing high school teenager, Greg Gaines, who displays an extreme lack of confidence. Greg is a kid who uses strategic defense tactics to remain “invisible” to society, in order to survive the harsh horrors of high school. His life changes however, very quickly when he meets a girl named Rachel Kushner; a girl dying of leukemia that goes to school with Greg. Prior to meeting her, his only friend was Earl, who he only considers to be a “co-worker”, because of the “worst films in the world” they produce together. It is undeniable that Greg’s biggest character development relates to his growth in maturity,...

...danah boyd and Alice Marwick Microsoft Research dmb@microsoft.com and amarwick@microsoft.com Waffles, 17, NC1: Every teenager wants privacy. Every single last one of them, whether they tell you or not, wants privacy. Just because an adult thinks they know the person doesn’t mean they know the person. And just because teenagers use internet sites to connect to other people doesn’t mean they don’t care about their privacy. We don’t tell everybody every single thing about our lives. We tell them general information - names, places, what we like to do - but that’s general knowledge. That’s not something you like to keep private-- “Oh, I play games. I better not tell anybody about that.” I mean-- that’s not something that we do. So to go ahead and say that teenagers don’t like privacy is pretty ignorant and inconsiderate honestly, I believe, on the adult’s part....

...RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES In expounding more ideas in the study, the researchers made a review of related foreign and local literatures as well as studies relevant to their present study collected from different sources. These related literature and studies cover the topics such as personality, behavior, social learning, and mental health. A. Foreign Literature Humanistic Psychology According to Crooks and Stein (1988), humanistic psychology differs from both the psychoanalytic approach and behaviorism in that it does not view humans as being controlled by either event in the environment or by internal, irrational, and unconscious forces. Humanist psychologists, most notably Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) and Carl Rogers (1902-1987), de-emphasize the influence of both stimulus-response events and unconscious processes in determining human behavior. Instead, they emphasize the role of free chance and our ability to make conscious rational choices about how we live our lives. Humanists also believe that people have a natural inclination to strive to fulfill their potential, a process called self-actualization. Although many of humanism’s major tenets are just as difficult to rest objectively as are the concepts of psychoanalysis, many psychologists respond favorably to this movement’s optimism. Humanism has increased psychologists’ awareness of the importance of such things as love, feeling needed, personal fulfillment and self-esteem. Behavior Brady, et. al. (1963) said...

Babies with meconium ileus often need an urgent operation to relieve and bypass the blockage. Individuals with cystic fibrosis are prone to developing bone disease (thin, brittle bones) due to a lack of nutrition (which is lost through stools because of the damaged pancreas), and other complaints related to the disease. Adults with cystic fibrosis also have an increased risk of bone disease, which is a side effect of the steroids taken to control lung disease. Intellectual Effects Cystic fibrosis does not have a massive effect intellectually, however if an individual with this illness has become really ill they may have to miss lessons and that can put a strain on the education, results of exams and coursework for that individual, but other than that cystic fibrosis does not have intellectual...

Identifiable elements to determined quid pro quo from the case Pease vs. Alford Photo Industries are. You are a member of a protective class You were subjected to unwelcome sexual harassment in the form of sexual advances or requests for sexual favors from a supervisor or individual with authority over the plaintiff. Harassment complained of was based on sex. Submission to the unwelcome advances was an express or implied condition for receiving some form of job benefits, or refusal to submit to sexual demands resulted in a tangible job detriment. Employer knew or should have known of the harassment. The second form of sexual harassment is called Hostile work environment. Its is unwelcome conduct constituting hostile work environment harassment must be sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of the victim’s employment and create an abusive working environment.

...Take Some and Give Some: Business & Society Integrated Despite the amassed amount of significant accomplishments achieved by companies as corporate citizens, there exists an ambiguity of their true aggregate impact on society, and what society really needs back from them in return. This is when we, us-as a society of consumers, re-evaluate if we have set adequate expectations in the definition: corporate social responsibility. Business power is analogous to a massive iceberg. If an iceberg is seen as the great number of ways, and intensities business can impact society, there are two levels. On the surface, business’s influence on our society is easily observable. Business determines what is bought and sold, who is hired, who is fired, and the commercials we watch (Welsh). Unseen and often neglected, beneath the surface there is a more deeply rooted societal impact. Businesses can potentially influence the structure of government, societal values and cultural trends. Due to this, there is great controversy about how business power and operations impact our current values and ideals. Epitomizing this concept in a more specific sense is the potentially harmful marketing and promotional practices of companies. Many large businesses utilize their influential power through marketing; emulating and glamorizing harmful lifestyles and messages to children and young adults alike. Multiple viewpoints from powerful companies and various theories such as Market Capitalism, Dominance...

...LECTURE ST. THOMAS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW FALL 2012 DISTINGUISHED SPEAKER SERIES WHAT MUST WE HIDE: THE ETHICS OF PRIVACY AND THE ETHOS OF DISCLOSURE ANITA L. ALLEN' I. INTRODUCTION We live in an era of persotial revelation. We are preoccupied by seeking, gathering, and disclosing information about others and ourselves. In the age of revelation, individuals and enterprises are fond of ferreting out what is btiried away. We are fond of broadcasting what we know, think, do, and feel; and we are motivated by business and pleasure because we care about friendship, kinship, health, wealth, education, politics, justice, and culture. A lot of this has to do with technology, of course. We live at a historical moment characterized by the wide availability of multiple modes of communication and stored data, easily and frequently accessed. Our communications are capable of disclosing breadths and depths of personal, personally identifiable, and sensitive information to many people rapidly. In this era of revelation—dominated by portable electronics, intemet social media, reality television, and traditional talk radio—^many of us are losing our sense of privacy, our taste for privacy, and our willingness to respect privacy. Is this set of losses a bad thing? If it is a bad thing, what can be done about it? My refiections on these questions begin with a series of diverse examples from the past several years. The examples illustrate the emergent ethos of our revelatory era. The first...

Executive Summary Why have three decades of intensive national effort to reduce teen pregnancy not been more successful? Largely because for three decades, we have framed the problem falsely. What we have called our “teen pregnancy” crisis is not really about teenagers. Nor is it really about pregnancy. It is about the decline of marriage. What has changed most in recent decades is not who gets pregnant, but who gets married. Demographically, our “teen pregnancy” problem is inseparable from the disconnect between marriage and childbearing that increasingly...
