...Advantage of media There are many advantages of media. Number one is information because without it we are all in the dark. Another is to help form your own opinions of the world based on the facts that are presented through the media in all forms. Also another one is pure entertainment. The media is used today for everything from mind manipulation through propaganda to basically provide something to do when one is Disadvantage of Media There are different types of disadvantage ------------------------------------------------- Structure[edit] A DA usually has four key elements. These four elements are not always necessary depending on the type of disadvantage run, and some are often combined into a single piece of evidence. A Unique Link card, for example, will include both a description of the status quo and the plan's effect on it. A traditional threshold DA, however, has a structure as follows: Uniqueness[edit] Uniqueness shows why the Impacts have not occurred yet or to a substantial extent and will uniquely occur with the adoption of either the Affirmative's plan or the Negative's counterplan. Example: If the negative team argues that the affirmative plan will result in nuclear proliferation, it would also argue that the status quo will avoid nuclear proliferation. If the Affirmative claims that nuclear proliferation is already occurring, the negative team could argue that adoption of the plan would result in a unique increase in nuclear proliferation. If...

...ADVANTAGES OF MASS MEDIA Mass media, such as the Internet, social networking, have been integrated into people’s lives. In fact, researches have shown that the number of adults and teenagers relying on mass media to gather information or communicate with one another has increased exponentially in the last few years. There have been many debates on whether mass media have a positive or negative effect on our lives. Many people argue that the socializing benefits of media, the fact that distance is no longer an insurmountable issue, and the possibility of sharing information globally proves how mass media have changed our lives for the better. However, the other side of the argument states that isolation, increased risks and the loss of critical thinking are the main consequences that media have had on our lives, changing them for the worse. Paradoxically, both arguments are true as the reality lies in between them. The effect that mass media has had on socialization is one of the most controversial and debated effects of mass media. Social networks are one example of mass media communication which has had a great impact on our society; Facebook alone has reached more than 500 million users, 65% of whom are teenagers. The reason for this is that there virtual platforms offer the so called “third space” (outside of the home and school), which psychologists claim to be indispensible to teenagers in order to socialize and build up their personality. The opportunity social networks...

...The advantages and disadvantages of mass media Mass media play a very important role in our everyday life. They serve to inform people of different events that take place or may happen. Also they entertain people or even help to make their life better. But the most important thing that newspapers, radio or TV bring to people is information. The process of sharing information in the modern world is extremely intense. In all countries is becoming more complex social cultural phenomenon that applies to various activities and is inseparable from the study of languages, political and social, economic, scientific, educational and technological development. That is why a significant and constant amount of information students receive through the media. Print media has traditionally been one of the main means in the system of mass media. The print media includes newspapers, magazines, brochures, newsletters, books and even leaflets and pamphlets.

Newspapers are a valuable source of educational material such as learning a foreign language. They offer an interesting, topical and various information. Students can actively use newspaper in...

...Uncle Vanya Grown-up literature is kind of strange and sad, don't you think? Most characters within children's literature, from Tom Sawyer to Harry Potter, struggle against adversity, and ultimately find a sense of meaning and satisfaction in their lives. Most characters in "grown up" books and plays struggle against adversity, which is usually rooted in some psychologically complex inner conflict, and ultimately find that life has no meaning and no guarantee of satisfaction. At least, this seems to be the case with the stories and dramas in my big, thick Literature textbook. And it certainly seems to be the case when that Literature (with a capital L) is penned by a Russian. Such is the case with Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov. The play is filled with downtrodden fools, some ignorant, some self-aware; all are miserable because they have pursued the wrong goals. The Setting: Uncle Vanya takes place in a large estate tucked away in the Russian countryside. Possibly, the location was inspired by Chekhov's country home at the time the play was written. In the 1890s, hoping to improve his health and his connections with his fellow man, Chekhov moved his family to a small rural settlement called Melikhovo, located about forty miles south of Moscow. Much of the play finds its characters in conflict with their surroundings. The characters from the city find country life to be unbearably unsatisfying. The country-bred characters find that their city-bred counterparts are infectiously...

...Media Literacy Project medialiteracyproject.org Introduction to Media Literacy Media literacy is a set of skills that anyone can learn. Just as literacy is the ability to read and write, media literacy refers to the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and create media messages of all kinds. These are essential skills in today's world. Today, many people get most of their information through complex combinations of text, images and sounds. We need to be able to navigate this complex media environment, to make sense of the media messages that bombard us every day, and to express ourselves using a variety of media tools and technologies. Media literate youth and adults are better able to decipher the complex messages we receive from television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, billboards, signs, packaging, marketing materials, video games, recorded music, the Internet and other forms of media. They can understand how these media messages are constructed, and discover how they create meaning – usually in ways hidden beneath the surface. People who are media literate can also create their own media, becoming active participants in our media culture. Media literacy skills can help children, youth and adults: • Understand how media messages create meaning • Identify who created a particular media message • Recognize what the media maker wants us to believe or do • Name the "tools of persuasion" used • Recognize bias, spin, misinformation and lies • Discover the part of the story...

...Protection of individual properties[edit] There are systems that property owners purchase and fit to their home to stop water entering their house. These systems work on blocking doors, windows and air vents with boards. Propert2.jpg Propert3.jpg Protection of communities[edit] When more homes, shops and infrastructure are threatened by the effects of flooding, then the benefits of greater protection is worth the additional cost. Temporary Flood Defenses can be constructed relatively quickly in certain locations and provide protection from rising flood waters. Communit2.jpg Communit1.jpg Rivers running through large urban developments will often have been controlled and channeled. These channels or canals will have a fixed capacity and if flood water flows exceed this capacity then the city will flood. Over time defenses will have been constructed to minimize the effects, and this will generally be through raising the sides of the river channel with embankments, walls or levees. The large number of people and huge value of infrastructure at risk in cities, means that protection works of high cost can be justified. The water level is receding in parts of Srinagar, which had turned into a giant lake from the waters of the swollen Jhelum. The water level was two to three storeys high in areas like Raj Bagh. People moved to hospitals and other high rise buildings to escape the rising water. The Army...

...Social media can actually do more harm than good Today, social media is everywhere. Playing a big role in people’s life, social media has made interactions among people easier. Although social media is so easy to use, it brings us many problems as well. In other words, social media has been an essential means of communication, but it can be harmful intentionally or unintentionally. Since we now live in this modern internet society, social media users should think twice before publicizing their posts on the internet. The website called CyberBullyHotline indicates that 4500 kids commit suicide each year due to cyber bullying. An example of unintentional harm with social media is seen in Sue Scheff’s recent writing about “accidental” cyberbullying for the Huffington Post. She describes incidents where teens say things to others, usually online, that are not intended to be hurtful, but are experienced as such. Even though it is not our objective, our words can be taken out of context by others when they are read and regurgitated, amplifying our digital footprint. This can happen offline as well, of course, but technology certainly makes it easier to obscure actual intent. Many of us know from experience that social media often leads to more frequent misunderstandings as communication occurs without important facial expressions, vocal intonations, or other interpretive behavioral cues that provide color and context to what is being conveyed. I agree that it is common for teens...

...There are lots of advantages to the social media world. We , I believe have taken for granted the use of social media because of the convenience and the speed of which we can put the internet to work for us. Some of the advantages are the websites such as face book, twitter and you tube, for example. On these sites we can find lost friend or family, we can catch up on what is happening around the world and all the gossip also. It is easy to find and research any and everything with the many search engines we have at our fingertips.Also the greatest advantage I have found is with social media is to call attention to some matters that otherwise may never have gotten any attention whatsoever. With all these advantages also comes the disadvantages of when we are researching for information when also have to verify the sources in which the information is coming from, make sure that the author is creditable and that the information isnt from a source such as wikiencyclopedia, which anyone can write and post information which can be edited and changed by others without having any creditablility at all. I believe also that social media is a disadvantage to the kids these days in ways that, they don’t have to go to a library and actually look and read a book to get the information for say a book report, if they want a phone number they can just google it, never having to actually use their brain to remember the alphabet in the phone book for example. I truly like the internet but also...

...Advantages and Disadvantages of social media Tabitha HUM/186 May 7, 2012 University of Phoenix Advantages and Disadvantages of social media In today’s world, many people depend on the internet for news and entertainment, yet other people worry about how reliable it can really be. Now days you can sign on the internet and find any information that you want, from the weather, to the news, to your favorite video. Many people have started to rely on the internet for research for school, but with anyone being able to post anything, how do you know what you find is creditable? There are many advantages of easily obtainable information on the internet, such as services, searching things, and being able to download things. The internet offers many companies ways to help service customers today. Now instead of mailing in your bills, you are able to sign onto the web and make a payment with one click, or even do some shopping without even leaving your home. This leads to searching things, ‘thousands of groups and organizations have moved online, many of them aggressively promoting their presence through the use of search engines, email lists, and banner advertisements.” (Wright 2005) Also you are able to download videos, games, favorite television shows and movies for free to watch at your leisure. While the advantages seem great, there are also some disadvantages that come with easily obtainable information. Some of those disadvantages are theft of personal information,...

...the University of Georgia found that the millions of people who log onto social networking sites every day may very well be boosting their self-esteem in the process – feeling connected to others and being in control of how you’re seen by others may have a positive effect on how you see yourself. On the downside, though, a study in June 2013 from the University of Michigan found that it was the students with narcissistic tendencies who posted most often, using social media in different ways to boost their egos and control other people’s perceptions of them – something that could have a dangerous impact on young girls at the very time when they have tremendous developmental changes taking place. Another study, from Flinders University in Australia, found that the amount of time teenage girls spend online was associated with low self-esteem and dissatisfaction with their body image (although cause and effect cannot be determined). In interviewing more than 1,000 high-school girls, they found that social media intensified conversations about appearance. And as these conversations involved their peers, they were also more influential in the girls’ lives. Even though 80% of the girls in the survey were of normal weight, almost half of them (46%) reported being dissatisfied with their body size. This evidence may suggest that, for many youngsters, their worries around body image aren’t actually connected with being overweight, but about body shape or concerns with not measuring...
