...Social Networking Websites and Teens: An Overview by Amanda Lenhart and Mary Madden 55% of online teens have created a personal profile online, and 55% have used social networking sites like MySpace or Facebook. Washington-- More than half (55%) of all of online American youths ages 12-17 use online social networking sites, according to a new national survey of teenagers conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project. The survey also finds that older teens, particularly girls, are more likely to use these sites. For girls, social networking sites are primarily places to reinforce pre-existing friendships; for boys, the networks also provide opportunities for flirting and making new friends. A social networking site is an online place where a user can create a profile and build a personal network that connects him or her to other users. In the past five years, such sites have rocketed from a niche activity into a phenomenon that engages tens of millions of internet users. The growth in the popularity of these sites has generated concerns among some parents, school officials, and government leaders about the potential risks posed to young people when personal information is made available in such a public setting. The data memo, written by Senior Research Specialists Amanda Lenhart and Mary Madden, is based on a survey conducted by telephone from October 23 through November 19, 2006 among a national sample of 935 youths ages 12 to 17. The survey asked about the ways that...

...Music Videos: Lyrics vs Images “If I were a boy” is a song written by BC Jean and Toby Gad and was recorded by one of the most popular female singers of this generation, Beyoncé. She is a singer, actress, song writer, choreographer and designer. She was number one on the list of the “Most Powerful and Influential Musicians in the World”. This song was produced for her third album in 2008. The genre of the song is pop and it mainly expresses the differences in gender and how they can affect a relationship. The lyrics show what happens when a woman changes roles with a man and tries to understand his actions from his point of view. The video created for this song was directed by Jake Nava and it does connect with the lyrics. In the music video we see Beyoncé taking the role of her partner. She tries to see what it would be like to be a man while her husband takes the role of the woman. In the beginning, Beyoncé is a cop and she ignores her husband in order to flirt with her male coworker. She doesn’t see the things that her husband is trying to do for her including making her breakfast, buying her jewelry and avoiding other woman to not make her jealous. By the end of the video we see that in reality the rolls are reversed. It is in fact the husband who is flirting with his coworkers, while Beyoncé cooks and buys him gifts. In the song she mentions that if she was a boy she would do things differently because she understands how a woman feels and how much it hurts to be taken...

...establishing the ordinary world of Jordie Miller and his wife Trish. Jordie is clearly a discouraged man. Once a respected pitcher, he’s lost his glory days. Even in his new world, of running a landscape business, he’s disappointed. The idea of Jordie and his wife moving to a new place always works well in these types of stories. It’s a new beginning. In fact, in one scene, they come to a “fork” in the road symbolic of their relationship. Strong personal conflict is created between Jordie and Trish. While they love each other, there’s an underlying, fragile relationship that feels ready to break. The story is moved forward when Jordie gets a job as a caretaker for a wealthy couple and their spirited teenage daughter. There’s a hint of Amanda flirting with Jordie. She clearly makes him uncomfortable. This nicely adds to the foreboding tone. The audience gets the sense that something is going to happen. However, given the opening prologue, the audience anticipates that something is going to happen to Amanda. It’s a creative choice whether or not to give this reveal away. The alternative is to create another opening that sets the tone. The party scene is well crafted as it generates plenty of tension and builds in intensity. The scene at the pool involving Slade and Amanda is intriguing and this also builds anxiety. One senses that something horrible is about to occur. The scene in which Slade acts like he’s unconscious in the water is smart. It tricks the viewer. The image of Jordie...

...demoralizing. Lane informs us that he was married once but only as the result of a misunderstanding, so he is not sure. Lane exits; Algernon comments that Lane’s views seem lax and the lower orders have no use if they will not set an example. He comments that Lane’s class seems to have a lack of moral responsibility. Unexpectedly, Algernon’s friend Jack Worthing drops in. Jack resides most of the time in the countryside and is visiting town. Lane and Algernon are under the impression that Jack’s name is Ernest and refer to him as so. Jack is happy to learn that Lady Bracknell (Aunt Augusta) and her daughter Gwendolen are coming because he wants to propose marriage to Gwendolen. Algernon says that he will not be able to marry her because he flirts with her, which Aunt Augusta does not like. Furthermore, as Gwendolen’s first cousin he will refuse to offer his consent unless Jack settles a question for him. He has found a cigarette case that Jack had forgotten upon his last visit. There is an inscription, which states: "From little Cecily, with her fondest love to her dear Uncle Jack." Jack tries to pretend it is from an aunt. Eventually, he must admit that Cecily is his ward. To escape the...

Zwar stellen sie mit knapp 20 Prozent immer noch eine Minderheit dar, dennoch ist zu erwarten, dass dieser Anteil sich weiter vergrößern wird (Xenagos, 2011). Nicht nur auf der Verkäuferseite, sondern auch im Einkauf sind zunehmend Frauen vertreten. Für alle Beteiligten innerhalb einer Verkaufsverhandlung wird es somit immer wichtiger zu verstehen, wie sowohl Frauen als auch Männer im B2B Vertrieb agieren und ob es Verhaltensunterschiede zwischen den Geschlechtern gibt. Diese Projektarbeit macht sich zum Ziel, die essentiellen Verhaltensweisen von weiblichen und männlichen Verkäufern im Verkaufsprozess herauszufiltern. Dabei geht es nicht um eine Evaluation des besseren Verkäufers, sondern um die Betrachtung von geschlechterspezifischen Unterschieden im Verkaufsverhalten. Eine empirische Erhebung untersucht anhand eines Fragebogens Erkenntnisse aus der Wissenschaft...

...Chapter 1 SIGMUND FREUD AN INTRODUCTION Sigmund Freud, pioneer of Psychoanalysis, was born on 6th May 1856 in Freiberg to a middle class family. He was born as the eldest child to his father’s second wife. When Freud was four years old, his family shifted and settled in Vienna. Although Freud’s ambition from childhood was a career in law, he decided to enter the field of medicine. In 1873, at the age of seventeen, Freud enrolled in the university as a medical student. During his days in the university, he did his research on the Central Nervous System under the guidance of German physician `Ernst Wilhelm Von Brucke’. Freud received his medical degree in 1881and later in 1883 he began to work in Vienna General Hospital. Freud spent three years working in various departments of the hospital and in 1885 he left his post at the hospital to join the University of Vienna as a lecturer in Neuropathology. Following his appointment as a lecturer, he got the opportunity to work under French neurologist Jean Charcot at Salpetriere, the famous Paris hospital for nervous diseases. So far Freud’s work had been entirely concentrated on physical sciences but Charcot’s work, at that time, concentrated more on hysteria and hypnotism. Freud’s studies under Charcot, which centered largely on hysteria, influenced him greatly in channelising his interests to psychopathology. In 1886, Freud established his private practice in Vienna specializing in nervous diseases...
