...INFORMATIVE SPEECH 1) How To Be Happy Being Single The life that we are bestowed with is truly a miracle. This precise miracle gets overshadowed with the contradictions that we live with. Contradictions like, the young want to be older and the old want to be young again; the dark want to be fair and the fair want to darken; the short want to be tall and the tall ones have their own problems. And just the same way, the single want to mingle and the ones with partners want to break free. Isn't that complicated enough? Well, let's take a moment and say aloud - "I am single. I am single! I AM SINGLE". Yes. It is not to rub salt on your wounds but for you to embrace it than dread it. Acceptance is the key to great decisions. It is, in fact, very empowering. Look at you. You live your life all by yourself because you are capable of being single and independent. If you still hate your relationship status, take another moment to remember all the things you have dealt with alone. I am single. No, I really am single and everyday I push my limits to achieve something better alone because I can't afford to waste my time waiting for someone who may or may not show up just so I could have the cliché happy ending to my fairytale because Disney says so. No, that is not the end to my life or your life for that matter. Life is living it, not waiting for it to be over. And why on Earth would I ever want to cripple myself to the aid of a person who sees me as nothing more than a baby that...

...Facebook Alive or Dead Nichole M. Osborne Bis/221 2/16/15 Jamie Telesca MEMO Dear CEO, I have completed my research on the Facebook memorialization of its deceased members as you requested. I based my research on an article I found about Facebook memorializing deceased members by having the members set up an executive for their Facebook account in the event something happens to them. Below you will find my summary of what I read within my research. Facebook is starting to allow members to name someone as their executive if they were to die. Not only will members have what is usually in their will’s but now we have the option to have someone take responsibility of our social media accounts. Is this Ethical? Im sure we all will have many questions on this matter like these below. * If I die, and I want to be immortalized forever in Facebook glory, do I count toward the membership numbers? Does Facebook make advertising money on me forever? * Will Facebook run ads for tombstones, caskets, and flowers on my page when I die? * Can I set it up so certain "likes" disappear when I die? I mean, it was one thing when I "liked" Justin Bieber when I was alive. But do I really want people judging me when I'm dead? * What happens if my executor dies, too? Can he or she pass it on? Can I have 10 generations of my family running my Facebook page for me, so I can make sure everyone remembers two hundred years from now that I once watched How I Met Your Mother...

...Facebook announced its $5 billion IPO late Wednesday afternoon. But what is all the hype about? What is an IPO, how does it work, and will a publicly traded Facebook affect how we use the social network on a daily basis? Here's a quick guide. WHAT EXACTLY IS AN IPO? When a privately owned company makes an Initial Public Offering, it means they're moving to be publicly traded on the stock market for the first time. That means that anyone can buy stock in the company and own a portion of it.

Aberdeen-Asset.NO Going public can help a company raise significant capital if a lot of people want to buy its stock. It also means that the company has to publicly disclose details about its finances, like its earnings, that it previously kept private. WHO DECIDES THE VALUE OF AN IPO? An investment bank determines how much money the company can expect to make on the stock market based on a number of factors, from the health of the economy to how popular the company's product is expected to be in the future. The initial valuation is always a bit of a gamble, since the stock has never been traded publicly before, and analysts can't look at past behavior to figure out how it should be...

...Is email dead for teenagers? Explain. I cannot say that email is dead for teenagers but it does seem that it is not used as often or for social communication as much as a teenager would use Facebook or Twitter. With the advancement of the social websites and 2.0 which is a more interactive arena. “Typically people use Twitter to discuss some of the mundane activities that they do during the day. You are simply answering the question: What are you doing?” according to our text. If a teenager has a group of their friends following them then they could potentially have a full conversation on twitter that is the past could have been done on email. The same is for Facebook, if a teenager is looking to have a more private conversation that can now be done my sending a direct message on a social website or using a chat messaging system. I think that most teens see email use as used strictly for professional and educational uses not social. So yes in the sense of social emailing it can be considered dead. The web 2.0 is not a new Internet. Is it the new name given to an emerging trend – participation? Instead of simply consuming information people are contributing and as a result, connecting to others in the process. If you had to make an educated guess, what might the web 3.0 be like? Why? It is hard to imagine what web 3.0 would be like because web 2.0 is because there are so many options and different technology offered on web 2.0. The social and business networks offered...

...direct unwanted attention to the unsuspecting victim, pose as a person they are not or even steal their identity without their knowledge and this is a contemporary issue that affects the community. Should there be legislation to prescribe how Facebook is to protect their users by using affective privacy settings? Legislation should be enacted to prescribe the way privacy settings are to function on Facebook to ensure that users are safe from cyber bulling, harassment, assault and deception. Issues that have been raised over 12 months Over the past 12 months, there have been some re-occurring attacks of people who use online communities. A majority of them are associated with the popular Facebook. Many predators sign up for online communities looking for vulnerable people and design a profile claiming to be someone they are not. The case of Nona Belomesoff’s was the start of this issue. Authorities were asked to investigate the sudden disappearance of 18 year old Miss Belomesoff when she was reported missing in NSW in May 2010. The parents of Miss Belomesoff told authorities that “she was offered what she thought was a dream job,” (Mitternacht, M. & Wood, A. The Age, 2010). Authorities found that Miss Belomesoff’s was a Facebook user and had recently started chatting to a young...

...IS MASS MARKETING DEAD? 2 Abstract Some claim that mass marketing is becoming less significant; others claim that it is not and that there will always be room for large brands that employ marketing programs that target the mass market. The paper compares mass marketing and its ability to reach today’s consumers. This examination of mass marketing shows its weakness in the market and its approach to becoming nonexistent. IS MASS MARKETING DEAD? 3 Is "Mass Marketing" Dead? The best approach todetermine the future of mass marketing is to take a look at its conception.The industrial revolution paved the way for the concept of mass marketing. Railroads were being built from coast to coast; providing transportation of both people and product.The telegraph was there to satisfy the need for faster communication.A country that relied on local markets was rapidly growing; cities were being populated and the demand to supply basic needs was greater than any time prior.Savvy entrepreneurs were able to seize this opportunity to make their brand known by mass producing their product and advertising.Mass marketing is a single market plan with the same mix of product, price, andpromotion strategies for the entire market.Those that adapted to this strategy were untouchable in the market place. Henry Ford was well known for his contributions to mass production.His innovative approach to making a car with limited features drastically lowered the production cost...

...Recently, in my writing class, I argued, with success, the legitimacy of The Walking Dead as a literary work to my professor. In doing so, I realized how well The Walking Dead Franchise could work in a classroom. The Walking Dead Franchise (comics, novels and television series) can help a diverse group of learners understand and analyze character development, conflict, plot development, use of figurative language, dialogue, word choice and to understand how medium affects literature. The Walking Dead despite its violence and graphic language does hold the interest of most kids in the secondary level. Not only is this high interest, it is also well written in every medium the franchise utilizes. If for no other reason, student interest coupled...

...Critical Reflection Paper Tacara Whitely INF 103 Computer Literacy Instructor Frederic Hibbler Ashford University September 9, 2013 Social networks allow people to connect for a variety of reasons in a digital environment. You might join LinkedIn to meet business contacts, MySpace to find a band member, or Facebook to see pictures of old friends and meet new ones. Whatever environment you decide to be a part of, posting information about you has become an issue of concern. What are those concerns? I mean what is the big deal about privacy? There are many concerns when it comes to becoming a part of a social environment and posting information about you. As Dave Awl said, “An ounce of discretion is worth a ton of privacy setting” (Awl, 2009, p. 52), you compromise your privacy to so many people other than friends, family and business associates that are already given open access to your life. There are law enforcement, government agencies, hackers, predators and so many more that are also watching you on these sites. Although there are some privacy settings, as a general rule it is good to remember that if you post something on Facebook, there are no secrets. Bad behaviors on social sites have real-world consequences. Being on the internet there really is no privacy and it’s not a bad thing because something that someone could post or say may have an impact on many others in a positive way. This could have the opposite effect as well. The internet clearly has impacted...

..."Relationships 2.0: Dating and Relating in the Internet Age," Does communication via social networking sites, such as Facebook, negatively affect the ability of young people to socialize and to develop and maintain healthy relationships? I think that Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and all other social media negatively affect the ability of young adults and teenagers. I think that Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and all other social media negatively affect the ability of young adults and teenagers. Young adults and teenagers are very addicted to social media; everything that they do, they do it via social media. I don’t think that young adults and teenagers can have and develop healthy relationships while having a social media account. For example, the other day I was watching the news and the news anchors reported that a teenage boy was shot and killed over a Facebook message. I have seen videos on social media websites where young people meet up to fight because of messages that were posted on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. I always think to myself that this is not healthy for these young people because they are ending up in jail, dead, or in a hospital. I think that they shouldn’t let young adults and teenagers have social media accounts. How can teenagers and young adults grow up to be successful and professional if all they do is going on social media? Teenagers and young adults get bullied via social media and sometimes they end up committing suicide...

...you download a free trial off of the internet it normally only last for a certain amount of time which is usually somewhere between 30 to 90 days. Also often times with the trial version it doesn’t allow you to do everything that you would normally be able to do if you had the paid version. A pro for using open office, of course is that it is free. So if you don’t have hundreds of dollars to go out and spend on software which most people don’t then downloading the free version will allow you to get the job done while being able to keep your money in your pocket. Social networks allow people to connect for a variety of reasons in a digital environment. You might join LinkedIn to meet business contacts, MySpace to find a band member, or Facebook to see pictures of old friends and meet new ones. Whatever environment you decide to be a part of, posting information about you has become an issue of concern. What are those concerns? I mean what is the big deal about privacy? I guess the biggest concern most people have with privacy is worrying about who can see what they post on the internet. I myself have several social network sites and I have never had a problem with any of it. It’s pretty simple, if it’s something you don’t want the world to see, think will embarrass you, or prohibit you from getting a job, don’t put it on the internet. People say they are worried about privacy, yet they go on social networks and post their personal information like phone numbers and places of...

...the Syrian war. The White Helmets, or anyone who fights for our country has to make many scary decisions in rough heartbreaking situations that others of us can’t even imagine. Some of these situations include: digging people out from under the rubble created by the multiple bombings and grenade attacks, dealing with phone calls from the fighters loved ones asking if their family members or friends are alive when the people answering the phones themselves didn’t even know because there are so many people trapped under the rubble dead and alive. It’s all a mystery until you are able to locate them and pull them out safely. Babies, young children, innocent victims people who weren’t even part of the war just stuck in the middle of it quite literally. Locating and pulling people out of the rubble safely was always scary and dangerous; you never know when another bomb or grenade could fall right next to you and kill another...

...My three questions I have chosen to write about they have to deal with new technology and teenagers. My first question question I answer was is email dead for teenagers? Teenagers today doesn't believe email still exist because they don't use email. The way they communicate is by Facebook, Twitter, Myspace , or texting each other on that cellphone. Today,you don't never hear a teenager say I need to check my email they say wait a minute let me update my status on Facebook and let me check my text message that I just received. Teenagers lives with many new technology this day an time. They can message each other within seconds to tell each other what they want. Teenagers can find a friend or see what a friend is up to by social media. All they have to do is type a friend name in on Facebook address bar and they will be in contact with them in a few seconds. In today world, email is just used mostly in business related issues not in teenagers world. Even people in the ages between 35-55 rather text or use Facebook than use email it's not only teenagers. I know myself I only check my email is when I am at work just in case the boss has something important to say other than that I don't use email. Email became popular back in the day just like email took over instead of writing letters. Teenagers just believe on using social media or texting each other they don't even believe on talking on the phone either. Social networks allow people to connect for a variety of reasons in...

...Africa, Asia, the USA and Latin America, covering a broad range of sectors. In addition, we did research with 1000 consumers each in the UK and USA, to compare their actual use of social media* with how marketers think they use it. Read on to see how wrong most marketers are! We have brought to life the findings with examples from our work on brandgym projects, and through interesting case studies we have come across in our blogging and book writing. * To clarify, this study focuses on the creation of content using social media (e.g. Facebook pages, Twitter feeds) and not online advertising on social media sites. In this, our 6th global survey, we ask “Can Social Media Show you the Money?”. The brandgym partners Introduction Social media is a red-hot topic today. Social media is sexy, shiny and new. And it’s also a bit scary, with headlines screaming that the whole world of marketing is changing, and that ‘old’ media like TV advertising is dead. However, data on the brand and business building effects of social media is thin on the ground. We felt it was time to cut through the hype and hysteria around social media, to better understand the role it can play. We wanted to find out: “Can social media show you the money?” How social is your brand?: accepting the limitations of social media, what role can it play for your brand? What consumers really want: the real reasons for consumers using social media from brands are not what marketers think. Key platforms : Which social media...

After I asked him and got the information that I want, I started to write what conversations we had. And then I composed it by journalism form. Also, I wrote another paper which is the mystery paper.
