...What are Social Network sites? Social Network Sites are web based services that allow individuals to construct a public or semi public profile within a bounded system. “People articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection, and view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system. “(Social network sites).

...using Open Office (open) for free? I believe the pros of buying propriety versus downloading and using Open office is that for one that by purchasing the product you have all of the features available to and it lasts. When 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...

...Bloods and the Crips did not form until later. Many people question why young men and even kids join gangs, and there can be different answers to that question. However many people can agree that gangs and gang involvement is deviant act. The question now is what type of deviant organization are gangs, according to me, I believe that gangs are organized crime groups, or also a deviant family outlook. I believe that gangs are organized crime groups because gangs make up 48% of violent crimes (www.fbi.gov). Gangs take part in many different violent acts such as murder, theft, rape, kidnaping and etc… That is because gangs compete with other rival gangs, and when asked why they fight most gang members did not have a reason why. (Made in America Video). However they said if they kill one of us, than we go and kill three of them, it is that type of attitude that has led to 48% of violent crimes. (Made in America Video). Gangs to me are also organized crime groups because they participate in drug manufacturing, trade, and distribution which has to be carefully operated, without it being organized there would not be a profit made. Participating in all these different activities within the gang is what leads me to believe that they are an organized crime group. Another question that many people ask is, why do young men and kids join gangs? After reading “Why American Boys Join Gangs” the majority of kids that join gangs are low income minorities. According to Stanley Taylor, “―Ultimately...

...2 May 2013 Social Networking Sites The use of social networking sites have increased dramatically in the past years because of the new technology that is being introduced (Kris Gowen 245). There is a wide variety of age groups that join social networking sites but the majority are teenagers. Every parent has a rule on what age their children should be able to join a social networking site. I know a lot of parents that have allowed their 12 year old children get a Facebook but then there are some parents who do not allow it until they are 15 or 16 years old. It really depends on how responsible the child is. There are also other things parents need to take into consideration when they let their children join sites like Facebook or Twitter. The big one that a lot of parents first think about is the safety and security of their personal lives. There are so many dangerous people who pretend to be someone their not (Kim 13). This becomes a big problem for insecure teenage girls who need someone to make them feel special. It puts them in danger when someone they do not know is trying to pry into their personal lives. This will also make parents have second thoughts about letting their children get one of these sites unless they monitor them closely. My parents let me get a Facebook when I was 14 years old but they checked it every week to make sure I knew all my friends and I was not talking to anybody I was not supposed to be talking to. I think this is a good method for parents...

...Intercontinental University Abstract Within this assignment one will see the reasoning for identifying these 3 firms (Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn) and why they are worthy of pursuing, and what category they fall into like low-hanging fruit, home runs, or singles. It will cover the risk of each firm also the positive or negative public relations effect on each opportunity chosen. For this assignment I choose the 3 main social networking sites available today; Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn. Facebook - Facebook is a social networking site that was first launched in 2004. (Eldon, 2008) Facebook is definitely the number one site throughout the globe when it comes to social networking. Through the years Facebook has had some tough competition and has seen many ups and down’s from various lawsuits, but it is still arguably the most popular social networking site used today. (Facebook, 2012) Marketing Opportunity - This site would be an exceptional marketing opportunity to market clothing to college students across the globe or around the world. This would be achievable because of the popularity of Facebook. As we already know, Facebook is used by many if not most of these students, so I would suggest that they branch out and try to use this opportunity. Categorization of Opportunity - Home run Risk of Opportunity - The problem with this opportunity is that it is such a popular site that the students may just want to use it to talk and associate with current...

...Religion Why do people believe in religion? Kids that are brought up in religious families generally turn out to become religious people themselves. This is because they become influence by their parents. Their parents also usually have friends and relatives who also practice the same religion, so they are surrounded by religious influences. This could also be considered social pressure to join the religion. Once the religion chain is started, it usually continues throughout the generations, unless something very powerful happens that throws off the previous religious mindset of that person and inspires them to break the religion chain. So who starts the religion chain? Why would anyone start to believe in religion? If you were brought up in an atheist family, and have no association with religion, what would motivate you to start practicing a religion? Why would anyone start doing such a tedious thing? Practicing religion is time-consuming and requires effort, yet people still do it. Why is this? The answer is, because religion helps calm the human mind. Usually, people who are in need of something to believe in start practicing religion. Even atheist people have at least heard of Christianity and about Jesus. If an Atheist person were to be put in a life-threatening situation, such as a natural disaster, he or she would most likely start to pray to God. This is because harsh conditions and situations make people lose hope. They feel the need to believe in some kind...

...right- to- work laws and in this paper I will be discussing what this means and whether or not it is a desirable public policy. I will also cover what it means to the employee, employer and the union. I’m going to start by defining what right- to- work means. Some people may misinterpret the meaning by thinking that it means that every person is ensured work or may be fired for any reason. This in fact is closer to the meaning of at will employment. This doesn’t ensure work but it does give the employer or employee the right to terminate at any time for any reason as long as it does not violate any laws. The purpose of right- to- work laws is to protect the employee by stating that you do not have to be part of a union to work for a certain company. So what exactly does right- to- work mean? According to the Mackinac Center, Right to Work facts authors Washburne and Kersey: “Right- to- Work is a state law that prohibits employers and unions from requiring an employee to pay dues or fees to a union in order to keep his or her job. While right- to- work laws do NOT allow individual workers to negotiate their own contracts, they do protect a worker from having to involuntarily support a union (Kersey& Washburne, 2007).” Now that we know what right- to- work means maybe we should look at how and why it came about in the first place. First, the Wagner Act of 1935, which was put into place to help protect the worker from the company. This is known as the National...

...Sequence Specific Purpose: To persuade the audience that factory farms are dangerous and abusive and therefore need to be banned. Primary Audience Outcome: I the want the audience to join or support national organizations that protest against factory farms. Thesis Statement: The U.S. government should ban factory farms and require the meat industry to raise animals in their natural environments. Attention: Close your eyes and step into the world of an individual. You are born into a world where nights and days are never constant (attention getter). You are fed three to five times a day, but no one is there to nurture you. Not even the numerous others crammed into your living space. You grow frantic, scared, and sickly. Now open your eyes, to reality. What I have just described is one of America’s worst ghettos. You know this individual who is trapped in this environment. He is your breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is the meat you eat . Today’s farms not only abuse their animals they also produce harmful diseases and environmental hazards that affect each and every one of us, regardless of whether you consume animal products or not. The U.S. government should ban factory farms and require the meat industry to raise animals in their natural environments (preview of points and statement of purpose). I. What used to be Old McDonald’s farms have now become factory farms that produce animal abuse, disease and ecological hazards. A. Animals are abused on...

...celebrated its 103rd birthday 2-8-2013. About 2 months ago while I was watching the news on KARE 11 one of the headlines was that the “Boy Scouts of America are considering allowing Gays in the organization”. On 2-6-13 I read a news article published by Miranda Leitsinger, a staff writer for NBC news states “Boy Scouts: We need more time for decision on gay membership”. This was brought before the Supreme Court in 2000 and they ruled in their favor stating that this was legal free speech by a private organization and thus did not have to allow gays to join. I wonder if it was a sense of shame and conscience that brought about the statement in January. As society in a whole our views have changed about limiting people to organizations based on their sex, sexual orientation, color or ethnicity. With the recent articles about being gay and bullied coming out over the last year it doesn’t look good that the Boy Scouts sill up hold such unethical policy of discrimination. The solution that was put in place by the Boy Scouts after they had released to the press that they were going to consider allowing gays in Scouting was followed by poll for people for or against allowing gays. This is a Utilitarianism theory on the boy scouts part as they were looking for the public to make up their mind for them and be able to blame others. The Boy Scouts of America have Absolut phobia and should develop their own autonomy as to whether they want to about the situation. “The mission statement of the...
