...The Studiers When I am getting ready to study, I always go to my room where I have collected my own little library. I am the type of studier who does not want to be disturbed; this ensures that I can finish all of my schoolwork on time. As such, whenever my friends invite me to a study group, I always decline their invitation. I have also met many other students who employ their own unique styles of studying. However, these students’ study styles are either good or bad, depending on the kind of person they are, because each person has vastly different levels of determination when it comes to studying for exams or doing homework. The first category is the “Who Cares” type of studier. They are the ones who do not care if they pass the exam or not. Many of them may copy from other students during the exam because they are lazy, and cheating gives them a way to get what they want without putting in any effort. One can find these people at parties or an Internet cafés; for them, partying or “Facebooking” is far more appealing than going to the library and spending time studying there. Occasionally, these people drop one of their courses but do not even bother to complete the paperwork to make it official. Their excuse is that there will be always next semester. However, more often than not, when the next semester rolls around they will fall back into their same old routine. The second type of studier is the “I swear, I will do it later”, aka the Procrastinator. They are the ones...

(Alinsky, 1971; Freire, 1970) said that For the purposes of this literature, there is a clear focus on the extent to which social media can be transformative in the way that people relate to one another. The evidence from other forms of influencing and campaigning is that this is most effectively done primarily through people’s existing social relationships. Although all social media play a part in this, there is a sense in which social networks have become especially powerful. For the purposes of this review, therefore, there will be an primary focus on the impact of social networks, with examples...

The study that coined this term makes the claim that "Adults are concerned about invasion of privacy, while teens freely give up personal information." The study claims that young people post too much of their private information in public spaces like Facebook and MySpace. This sentiment was not exclusive to adults either. According...

...Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted The term “social media” refers to the wide range of Internet-based and mobile services that allow users to participate in online exchanges, contribute user-created content, or join online communities (Dewing). It has become common today to use applications such as Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube to express and share your thoughts, opinions, and common interest. In Small Change: Why the Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted, writer Malcolm Gladwell touches upon the issues of social media’s role in activism vs. the traditional way of becoming a true activist Many of us today use these social networks for its beneficial approach to attract users and acquaintances to support their cause or activism.

...the devil should be put on the cross by the oppressed class: thus my interest in the topic because the title appears as an invitation to crucify the devil and this justifies the title of the paper, Devil on the Cross: Ngugi’s Marxist Invitation. Still, after agreeing that the title is an invitation, there is need to know who is/are invited to crucify the devil and how they should proceed to crucify him.

The Marxist theory uses traditional techniques of literary analysis, but subordinates aesthetic concerns to the final social and political meanings of literature. It...
