...CHAPTER II Review of Related Literature and Study Related Literature Foreign Literature Marketing scholars Schau and Gilly (2003) write that, “we may indeed be what we haveself-presented, but we are also a great deal more” (p. 387). The research of this study exploresthe reasons why Facebook users are prone to emphasize particular aspects of their identity and“remove tags” from areas inconsistent with their constructed being. Engaging in online identity construction allows users to define themselves by more thanjust their actual identity schemas, labels we place on ourselves (e.g. student, mother or husband).Instead, Facebook provides users the opportunity to share interests, ideas (blog), appealingimages, and their identity amongst a public network. Users manage forums such as Facebook toproduce their desired image by communicating through symbolic, digital stimuli. In what Schau and Gilly (2003) refer to as “authenticating acts or self-referential behaviors, users feel free toreveal their true self, and frequently multiple selves” online (386). In this manner, users select the best representations of themselves to strengthen the link between their actual and their ideal(desired) identity. Creating an online representation of oneself with linguistic content, imagery and brand associations, users consider their self-concept, “our mental conception of whom we are” (Hoyer and MacInnis, 2007, p.54). With their self-concept schema; users are prone to activate the ideal...

...Introduction Social media had been a massive part in every household. Technology had given us a great deal and helped us with our tasks and made everything easy. We know that social media sites like (Google+, Twitter, Facebook and Yahoo) had introduced us in many methods that can connect people easier. Social media sites had been a popular means to connect with other people over the Internet. During the 1980's home computers were becoming more common in every household and social media sites were becoming more refined. According to Hendricks, (2013) The Internet relay chats, or IRCs, were first used in 1988 and were popularized into the '90s. The first popular social media site, Six Degrees, was created in 1997. The site enabled its users to upload a profile and make friends with the other users. By 2006, Facebook and Twitter both became available to users throughout the world. These sites still remain as the most popular social network on the Internet. After the success of these social media sites, other sites like Tumbler, Spotify, Foursquare and Pinterest began appearing to fill specific social network niches. Furthermore, Hendricks (2013) emphasized that, "there are a tremendous variety of social networking sites, and many of them can be linked to allow cross posting. This creates an environment where users can reach the maximum number of people without sacrificing the intimacy of person-to-person communication. We can only speculate about what the future of social networking may...

...about by this Economic Integration, the enhancements that the educational system in the country has been undergoing, primarily aim to refine quality, improve access and maintain equity in education. Still, the major concerns that the education sector faces is the low participation rate and increasing dropout rate specifically in the secondary level of education. The data also support that there is 46,404 ES and 12,878 HS ratio between number of elementary schools and secondary schools wherein the latter is 28% fewer as the number of elementary schools. This only means to say that there is a very limited access to secondary education causing many elementary graduates to remain unenrolled for some time which now leads to contribute to psycho-social problems that out-of-school children/ youth (OSC’s/, OSY’s),...

...Content A fraternity (Latin frater : "brother") is a brotherhood, although the term sometimes connotes a distinct or formal organization and sometimes a secret society. A fraternity (or fraternal organization) is an organized society of men associated together in an environment of companionship and brotherhood; dedicated to the intellectual, physical, and social development of its members. History There are known fraternal organizations which existed as far back as ancient Greece and in the Mithraic Mysteries of ancient Rome. Analogous institutions developed in the late medieval period called confraternities, which were lay organizations allied to the Catholic Church. Some were groups of men and women who were endeavoring to ally themselves more closely with the prayer and activity of the Church; Others were groups of tradesmen, which are more commonly referred to as guilds. These later confraternities evolved into purely secular fraternal societies, while the ones with religious goals continue to be the format of the modern Third Orders affiliated with the mendicant orders. The development of modern fraternal orders was especially dynamic in the United States, where the freedom to associate outside governmental regulation is expressly sanctioned in law. There have been hundreds of fraternal organizations in the United States, and at the beginning of the 20th century the number of memberships equaled the number of adult males. (Due to multiple memberships, probably only 50%...

...New Era University SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES New Era, Quezon City COMMON PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED BY STUDENTS “AT RISK” IN A REGULAR CLASS AS PERCEIVED BY GRADE 8 REGULAR AND SPED TEACHERS IN BATASAN HILLS NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL BY Cupido, Luigi T. DR. ESTRELLA N. SAN ANDRES FEBRUARY 22, 2014 Chapter 1 The Problem and It’s Background Special Education is a privilege and a basic human right for any individual students. It is granted for those who are diagnosed with developmental disadvantages and students with special needs. This type of education is progressing so as the discovery of different types of exceptionalities and its spectrums. The wise variety of its type and spectrums helps educators identify the corresponding needs of special education learners. Children with special needs are now being placed in a self-contained class for most public or private schools. Though, there were some students who are disadvantaged or even behind the slow performing ones who are not yet recognized. These types are often labelled by diagnosticians as students “At Risk.” From the term itself, it indicates potential exceptionalities that may possibly arise. The main difficulty that could possibly be anticipated among the so called “At Risk” students is the misleading concepts towards them. Most teachers would take them as regular students and some may call them “slow learners,” “out of school”...

...Culture of DOTA in the Philippines Joshua Frankie B. Rayo Department of Computer Science, University of the Philippines Diliman jbrayo@up.edu.ph Abstract. The culture of DOTA (Defense of the Ancients) has taken the Philippines to storm because of its very creative gameplay that caused millions of Filipino students hard for them to avoid playing the game; and it is also evident from media to the internet. This game has brought such intense effects to the Filipino youth and its everyday life; up to the point where they are affected physically, psychologically, and their respective careers. Because of DOTA, the computer shops in the country have been growing massively since its release; the youth are gathered there to play informally and to show their enthusiasm and foster friendship, teamwork and camaraderie. It follows the ‘booming’ computer shop industry and culture in the country. Also, some people handle DOTA tournaments to encourage other people and make this gaming industry to grow in the country. Because of the addiction of the people playing the game, they also express DOTA through the arts and music, language, internet and the social networks. Due to the...

...GRADUATION THESIS PSEUDONEWS IN THE MODERN MEDIA Evidence from NewsBelarus.net site By DMITRY BUTER Minsk, 2011 INTRODUCTION People have been always interested in news. Getting information is ordinary necessity of any person. Recently this trend has become particularly notable. If we look at the statistics of query word "news" in the most popular Internet search service Google, it turns out that at the beginning of the century it took only 30-40 percent of the total share of requests. In the second decade this figure rose to the level of 80 percent. However, the information contained in news releases, does not always reflect the hidden side of an event, and sometimes it is even boring and mediocre. As the horizon of an average reader becomes broader, the need for innovative coverage of what is happening around us is increasing. News agencies are finding new ways of presenting information: video podcasts, infographics. However, meaning and significance are often lost behind a beautiful design. In pursuit of the reader, agencies often lose their individuality, merging their materials with overall news flow. When a newsbreak is completely used up, and the reader is still interested in it, it becomes possible to fill the vacant space with excogitation, and sometimes to make everything up from scratch. And thus pseudonews are born - materials that replicate the style of information resources, but they differ from the real news by satirical content. The graduation...
