Specifically, extroverted people spend more time calling and send multiple text messages” (Hong 2153). In the other word, extroverted people will spend more time on their phone, rather than communicate face to face with other people. Sometimes, the social anxiety also influences people’s communication. “People with higher social anxiety scores tend to not overuse mobile phones in voice-calling (Whiteside & Lynam 669-689); rather they spend more time in indirect communication through text messaging with others” (Bianchi & Phillips 39-51; Billieux et al., 1195-1210; Butt & Phillips 346-360).

...Name: Ayeza Ali Class: WRT 101 Professor: Dr. Drozd Date: 12/03/13 Social Media: A Path to Societal Decadence? With the public promulgation of the internet in the wake of 1990’s, a new era dawned upon humanity. What once used to be a time of familial gathering after dinner to savor stories from the past became the internet surfers lone time. Today, as one strolls along roadside cafés, subway trains, or sits at the campus cafeteria, the so called “social arenas”, all that he’d come across are familiar faces entangled in a world of their own. Headphones covering their ears and faces lit with the bright glare from their electronic devices, they have isolated themselves from society. The social engineers say that we are more “connected” to everyone with the help of the social media, but sadly the truth is that we may have a thousand friends on facebook, but at the end of the day we are still alone, sitting at some Starbucks, head buried in our laptops, scared to even talk to the person sitting right next to us. The foremost predicament that one faces at the hands of social media is unwanted exposure, little known fact is that we have almost next to no control over the information we share over social networking websites such as Facebook, My Space or Hi5. Although the websites do accommodate privacy settings but these settings can be easily over-ridden or bypassed by experienced computer hackers in a matter of seconds. Leaving most users highly susceptible to identity...

...One of the most disenfranchised groups in the United States is the Native American people. This seems like it should be a contradictory statement considering that before Christopher Columbus’s arrival in 1492, Native Americans of various tribes lived and thrived in their homeland. However, that all changed when white conquistadors arrived. Columbus claimed an occupied land for Spain and then committed acts on the native people that equate to the modern day definition of genocide. Eventually, Columbus and other conquerors died off. However, that did not signal the end of the suffering for Native Americans because the U.S. government took over and became the new subjugators. The documentary “The Canary Effect” provides a timeline of how native...

...How can people’s brains affect their understanding and experience of music? Explore the effects of amusia and how it impacts the lives of those suffering. Music is everywhere. In every day life, music is now omnipresent. In the shopping centers, in your car, at a wedding, in a school presentation, on the bus, on the television, in commercials, on your MP3. Music is often at times inescapable. It can impact our lives on such a large scale and for many becomes part of their identity. There are some people, however, who suffer from brain disorders that distort the way in which they can interpret and comprehend musical sounds. Amusia is a brain disorder that affects the way in which sufferers can hear music and it is estimated that around 4% of the general population may experience tone-deafness (Peretz, 2006, pp. 1--32). It can be from birth, but usually arises due to a brain injury or brain operation. Amusia has been described as the inability to hear or differentiate between tone, pitch or other musical attachments (eg rhythm or time). The word amusia is made up of a prefix ‘a’, which means ‘not’ or ‘without’. In this sense, it signifies an individual that is without music, or without the ability to interpret or understand music on a basic mechanical level. To clarify, these people are able to hear and interpret other sounds and voices normally. They only have an issue in regards to any musical tone. On some levels, everyone can relate to having some mild form of amusia...

... In connection to the statements mentioned above, the young people are also entrusted with the task of being involved in taking responsibilities. According to 1 Timothy 4:12, “Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example to the believers in your speech, in your conduct, in your love, in faith and in purity,” Timothy was a young Christian youth from Asia Minor. He became a companion and assistant to Paul in his missionary work. In spite of his young age, he did not let this minority become a hindrance to be involved in helping Paul to share the word of God. Timothy is one of the best examples for the youth of this generation in accepting responsibilities and in getting involved in such activities especially in church ministries. Not just merely participating, but by committing yourself and realizing that this is one of the ways to express their love for God. ¬¬¬ Being involved in church ministries have effects to the young people in two areas: Spiritual Maturity and Interpersonal Behavior. There is a saying, “The Sky is the limit”. It can be said that these ministries can possibly affect the spiritual maturity of the young people. They may have deeper relationship with God and be more committed to their ministry. These ministries may not only affect the spiritual growth of the young people but also their interpersonal behavior. The way they talk, think, and act towards other people can possibly be...

...It is described that the weapon focus effect is when a witness of a crime that was committed with an armed offender stays focused on the weapon and not the offender. Since the witness stays so focused on the weapon they cannot recall correct details about the offender when reporting the crime. However, if there is not a weapon involved then the witness is more likely to recall details about the offender. There have been many studies conducted involving the weapon focus effect. Each study consist of different variables to better understand the weapon focus effect. Researchers have changed the types of people involved, the places in which the study is conducted and the way each people experiences the effect. Theories have been made in regards to why weapon focus effect occurs. A hypothesis called cue-utilisation says that because weapons are known...

...(PIES) Cystic fibrosis Physical Effects A hereditary disorder affecting the exocrine glands. It causes the production of abnormally thick mucus, leading to the blockage of the intestines, and bronchi and often resulting in respiratory infection. Cystic fibrosis affects the pancreas because a buildup of thick, sticky mucus blocks the ducts reducing the amount of insulin produced and stopping digestive enzymes from reaching the intestines for digestion. This can cause malnutrition, leading to poor growth, physical weakness and delayed puberty. Symptoms usually start in early childhood and include: •persistent cough •recurring chest and lung infections •poor weight gain. An early sign is that an affected child’s sweat is unusually salty, which can be noticeable when you kiss your child. One in every ten babies born with cystic fibrosis develops a bowel obstruction called meconium ileus at birth or within the first few days of life. In these cases the meconium is so thick that it blocks the bowel instead of passing through. 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...

...situation that’s ‘a potential source of harm or adverse health effect on a person or persons’. An earthquake is a tectonic event which can be a huge hazard to people- particularly effecting areas of the earth around convergent, divergent and transform plate boundaries: in both MEDC’s and LEDC’s with equally force. Hazards earthquakes cause can be divided into two sub-categories: primary and secondary effects. Primary effects are the problems that are of direct result of the seismic waves, including effects such as liquefaction, tsunamis and landslides. Primary effects then lead to secondary effects; floods, fires, disease and even malnourishment. However a number of factors can dictate whether these effects present a hazard to people or not- location, whether in a MEDC or LEDC, can dictate the severity of the hazard. To start, I want to highlight the difference in the primary effects of an earthquake. Comparing the factors like death and injuries- or social effects- and then the environmental effects in looking at the destruction of infrastructure experienced in varying parts of the world. To highlight this difference of place: using an EQ in a LEDC and one in a MEDC. So looking at deaths and injuries we can see as an overall trend there tends to be more deaths caused form the initial seismic force of an earthquake in LEDCs. Gujarat in India felt the force of a 7.9 magnitude EQ and we can see that over 20,000 people died within the first day of the earthquake hitting. Gujarat...

...Consumers are the people that are eating the food whether it is GMO or not. GMO is really bad for the consumers in many ways and can be dangerous. GMOs are bad for many reasons, but three reasons, unforeseen long term effects, allergies, and side effects. There are many unknown things about GMO just like the unforeseen long term effects of it. Unforeseen long term effects are dangerous because they’re unknown. We don’t what they do or when they’re coming. They have done tests, but have only told us that it doesn’t affect us right when we eat it. Since food is able to leave behind material in us, GMO can leave behind bacteria that will affect us later in life. Also could cause stomach inflammation. They have also found many toxins inside GMO food. An example is when they found GM corn in a pregnant woman’s blood and her newborn. These unforeseen long term effects are really dangerous and should be made aware of....
