Analytical Exposition

I will explain the positive and negative things about social media. But first, what is social media? Social media is the collective of online communications channels dedicated to community-based input, interaction, content-sharing and collaboration. There are six different types of social media:

1. collaborative projects
2. blogs and microblogs
3. content communities 
4. social networking sites
5. virtual game-worlds
6. virtual social worlds

Social media has changed the way adolescents communicate. But has the change been for the better or worse? It raises a question of whether social media has a positive or negative impact on their communication. 

The positive things we can take from media social are.....

Can you imagine life without TV?, or without computers, the internet, radio, newspapers, or any other form of media? Just imagine a day in your life, without any form of media, how would it feel? We all will have to agree that beyond doubt, life really would be miserable, and so, even though we may not realize it, but the media has become a very important part of our lives.
The media, whether electronic, or printed, is a great convenience to us. It enriches our lives by either informing, educating or entertaining us. It is huge way of conveying public views and opinion to the world, and it promotes freedom of press and speech. The word 'Media' is described in the Oxford English Dictionary as, "Newspapers, radio and television, which convey information to the public". 

The media on its own, does no harm to anybody. It is the society, the people that choose what they want to watch, hear and read. All the media does is conveys the information to you, it is you that decides to watch it, to understand it and to go by

Social media can help people shyness and come out of their shells before interacting face-to-face. Social media allow those with similar interests to connect and converse. I think all teenagers in the world are using social media. Social Media allow people to keep in touch with old friends or those who live far away. We can get new friends from social media. 

With help of social media people can easly communicate without difficulty and has also makes the world a global village where people form other countries can learn another country's culture.The social media is a wonderful thing. It allows us to talk with distant relatives without use the phone.We can also use social media for businesses and public entities to share information with costumers and clients, and to market themselves inexpensively. 

The negative things from media social are.....

The social networks like Twitter, Facebook, instragram and all those other social networks, all have one thing in common and that is cyberbullying. Anybody can do it, especially on the internet. Its bad enough to be bullied in school but just when you think your safe at home you open your facebook to see your messages full with harmful letters or threats. The social network has given people A way anonymously threaten A person withought getting in trouble for it since most kids today almost never tell their parents what's going on in their lives.

Many of us make use of the Internet's facilities to visit websites such as Facebook and Twitter. These websites have allowed us to communicate and get to know people who we are not know of. But have we ever considered if these websites on the Internet are reliable enough to be trusted. For example, many of us have thought that pictures being posted on facebook can be deleted permanently. However,no one knows that albeit though the pictures have been deleted on facebook but the pictures on another websites which supports facebook are not deleted. Can we still trust the internet with our personal information and chat with strangers online? 

According to a newspaper article,"In a recent survey of young Internet users aged 10 to 17, one in five reported they had received unwanted sexual solicitations online, ranging from sexually suggestive comments to strangers asking them to meet them in the real world for sex." The internet is supposed to be safe for the users. Putting ourselves in the victims' shoes,they have to through medical care by psychologists because the online predators have caused a long-term scars in both their hearts and brains which known as trauma.

Conclusion

The social media is a wonderful thing. It allows us to talk with distant relatives without use the phone. But it is ridiculous idea to thing that it does more harm than good. Online video gaming is social media and it allows you have fun time to play these games. It is also good for the economy you know how much the big media network owners get a lot of money. Yes i agree there are some downsides such as cyberbulling but that is not the media's fault. It is the person who posted that. The social media just shows what they put. And the website can take it down like youtube they can take videos down.

summary of my short story

SUMMARY OF MY SHORT STORY
Once upon a time there lived a wealthy merchant and his three daughters.

One day, the father was to go to a far-off place and he asked his daughters what they wanted on his return. The first and the second daughter asked for lovely dresses. But the third daughter, whose name was Beauty, said, “Father, I only need a rose plucked by your hand.” The merchant, on his way back, had to cross through the deep forest. It was dark and the merchant tried to find a place to sleep. He suddenly found a huge castle and went inside to find nobody. There was       a huge table with delicious food and he ate it all. Then the merchant went into the bedroom and slept on a soft and fluffy bed. The next day, too, the merchant did not find anyone in the castle. He saw a beautiful rose bush growing in the lawn and remembered Beauty’s gift. He plucked a red rose from the bush.

Suddenly, a ferocious looking beast sprang out of the bush. He was wearing fine silk clothes and roared, “I gave you food and a bed to sleep in! And now, you are stealing my roses!” The merchant was frightened and told the Beast about Beauty’s gift. The Beast decided to let him go only if he promised to send Beauty to this castle. The merchant agreed and ran back home. He cried and told his daughters about the Beast. But Beauty loved her father a lot and agreed to go stay with the Beast.

The Beast treated Beauty with a lot of kindness. He was never rude to her. He let her stay in the biggest room and let her roam in the beautiful garden. Beauty would sit near the fireplace and sew while the Beast kept her company. At first, Beauty was afraid of the Beast but slowly, she began to like him.

One day, the Beast asked Beauty to marry him, but she refused. She was still afraid of his fearful-looking face. The Beast still treated her kindly and with a lot of love. Beauty missed her father a lot. The Beast gave her a magic mirror and said, “Look at the mirror and you can see your family. Now you won’t feel lonely anymore.

One day, Beauty looked in the mirror and saw that father was very ill and dying. She went to the Beast and pleaded and cried, “Please let me go home! I only want to see my father before he dies!” But the Beast roared, “No! You promised you would never leave this castle!” Saying this, he stormed out of the room. But after some time, he came to Beauty and said, “You may go to stay with your father for seven days. But you must promise to return after that.” Beauty was very happy and agreed. Then she left and went to stay with her father. Her father, on seeing Beauty, felt very happy and soon recovered. Beauty stayed with her family for seven days and more. She forgot the Beast and his castle. But one night, she had a terrible nightmare in which she saw the Beast was very ill and about to die. He was crying, “Beauty, please come back!”

Beauty woke up and went back to the castle because she did not mean to hurt the Beast. She cried and said, “Please don’t die, Beast! I will live with you forever!” The Beast miraculously changed into a handsome prince. He said, “I was under a curse all these years and could only be relieved when someone fell in love with me. I am now cured of the curse because you truly love me.” And then, Beauty and the Beast were married and together they lived happily ever after.

Beauty and the Beast

A wealthy merchant lived in a mansion with his three daughters. They were all very beautiful, but only the youngest, twenty-year-old Belle, was lovely and pure of heart; her sisters, in contrast, were wicked and selfish. The merchant eventually lost all of his wealth in a tempest at sea. As a consequence of this, he and his daughters were forced to live in a small farmhouse and work for their living. After some years of this, the merchant heard that one of the trade ships he had sent off had arrived back in port, having escaped the destruction of its compatriots. He returned to the city to discover whether it contained anything valuable. Before leaving, he asked his daughters if they would like him to bring any gifts back for them. The oldest two asked for jewels and fine dresses, thinking that his wealth had returned. Belle was satisfied with the promise of a rose, as none grew in their part of the country. The merchant, to his dismay, found that his ship's cargo had been seized to pay his debts, leaving him without money to buy his daughters their presents.
During his return, he became lost in a forest. Seeking shelter, he entered a dazzling palace. He found tables inside laden with food and drink, which seemed to have been left for him by the palace's invisible owner. The merchant accepted this gift and spent the night there. The next morning as the merchant was about to leave, he saw a rose garden and recalled that Belle had desired a rose. Upon picking the loveliest rose he could find, the merchant was confronted by a hideous 'Beast', which told him that for taking his most precious possession after accepting his hospitality, the merchant must die. The merchant begged to be set free, arguing that he had only picked the rose as a gift for his youngest daughter. The Beast agreed to let him give the rose to Belle, but only if the merchant would return.
The merchant was upset, but accepted this condition. The Beast sent him on his way, with jewels and fine clothes for his daughters, and stressed that Belle must never know about his deal. The merchant, upon arriving home, tried to hide the secret from Belle, but she pried it from him and willingly went to the Beast's castle. The Beast received her graciously and informed her that she was mistress of the castle, and he was her servant. He gave her lavish clothing and food and carried on lengthy conversations with her. Every night, the Beast asked Belle to marry him, only to be refused each time. After each refusal, Belle dreamed of a handsome prince who pleaded with her to answer why she kept refusing him, and she replied that she cannot marry the Beast because she loved him only as a friend. Belle did not make the connection between the handsome prince and the Beast and became convinced that the Beast was holding the prince captive somewhere in the castle. She searched and discovered multiple enchanted rooms, but never the prince from her dreams.

For several months, Belle lived a life of luxury at the Beast's palace, having every whim catered to by servants, with no end of riches to amuse her and an endless supply of exquisite finery to wear. Eventually she became homesick and begged the Beast to allow her to go to see her family. He allowed it on the condition that she would return exactly a week later. Belle agreed to this and set off for home with an enchanted mirror and ring. The mirror allowed her to see what was going on back at the Beast's castle, and the ring allowed her to return to the castle in an instant when turned three times around her finger. Her older sisters were surprised to find her well fed and dressed in finery. They were envious when they heard of her happy life at the castle, and, hearing that she must return to the Beast on a certain day, begged her to stay another day, even putting onion in their eyes to make it appear as though they were weeping. They hoped that the Beast would be angry with Belle for breaking her promise and would eat her alive. Belle's heart was moved by her sisters' false show of love, and she agreed to stay.
Belle began to feel guilty about breaking her promise to the Beast and used the mirror to see him back at the castle. She was horrified to discover that the Beast was lying half-dead from heartbreak near the rose bushes her father had stolen from and she immediately used the ring to return to the Beast.
Upon returning, Belle found the Beast almost dead, and she wept over him, saying that she loved him. When her tears struck him, the Beast was transformed into the handsome prince from Belle's dreams. The Prince informed her that long ago a fairy turned him into a hideous beast after he refused to let her in from the rain, and that only by finding true love, despite his ugliness, could the curse be broken. He and Belle were married and they lived happily ever after together.

My Personal Strenght, Weakness, and Dream

My personal strenght is i can talk about anything to anyone. I enjoy talking with people. I enjoy having conversation with people of different cultures, because it gives me a chance to learn more about their lifestyle. I communicate better one on one.
I have a weakness with commuunication when it comes to having to speak to a large group of people. I become very nervous and will sometimes forget what I wanted to say. My weakness is also when I have to speak in front of the class or in front of a very large group of people. I have learned that it is important to stay focused on your strenghts and not your weaknesses and to realize that for the most part everybody else is probably just as nervous as I am.
I dream of being a surgeon, pianist, and a good wife. Hahahaha A GOOD WIFE?! :)) LOL! But, I'm not kidding. Yeah, I want to be a good wife. Why? Because I don't want to have a divorce. I don't want to hurt my future husband or myself for divorce. :)) I want to be a doctor so bad. I know the only way to become a doctor is to do well in school. Most of my family is a doctor. My dad and my mom inspired me to be a good doctor. They said, being a doctor is fun and you can have a lot of money too. Hahahaha. But I'm not a material girl. I need a lot of money because I want to save my environment. I will buy land area at dago and plant trees at that space. So, my Dago will become green and cool again.

Wombat

The native habitat of wombats is Australia. The wombat is the largest of all the burrowing animals and in spite of its appearance, it can run at a speed of 40 kilometres per hour. Their diets consist mostly of grases, sedges, herbs, roots, and bark. Their species are common wombat ( Vombatus ursinus), northern hairy-nosed wombat of yaminon (Lasiorhinus krefftii), and southern hairy-nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons).

The nothern hairy-nosed wombat is an endangered species. The biggest threats the species faces are its small population size, predation by wild dogs, competition for food because of overgrazing by cattle and sheep, and disease.

The only known wild populations of this species exist in two locations in Queensland, the Epping Forrest National Park, and a smaller colony being established by translocating wombats to the Richard Underwood Nature Refuge at Yarran Downs. This second colony is being created through the Xstrata reintroduction project, which is being funded by Xstrata, a Swiss global mining company.

The wombat population in the Epping Forrest National Park has been increasing since a predator-proof fence was erected in the park. According to the latest census, taken in 2007, the park is home to 138 of these endangered wombats.

Wombats have an extraordinarily slow metabolism, taking around eight to 14 days to complete digestion, which aids their survival in arid conditions. They generally move slowly.When threatened, however, they can reach up to 40 km/h (25 mph) and maintain that speed for up to 90 seconds. Wombats defend home territories centred on their burrows, and they react aggressively to intruders. The common wombat occupies a range of up to 23 ha (57 acres), while the hairy-nosed species have much smaller ranges, of no more than 4 ha (10 acres).

Dingos and Tasmanian devils prey on wombats. Their primary defence is their toughened rear hide, with most of the posterior made of cartilage. This, combined with its lack of a meaningful tail, makes it difficult for any predator that follows the wombat into its tunnel to bite and injure its target. When attacked, wombats dive into a nearby tunnel, using their rumps to block a pursuing attacker. A wombat may allow an intruder to force its head over the wombat's back, and then use its powerful legs to crush the skull of the predator against the roof of the tunnel, or drive it off with two-legged 'donkey' kicks.

Humans who accidentally find themselves in a fray with a wombat may find it best to scale a tree until the animal calms and leaves. Humans can receive puncture wounds from wombat claws, as well as bites. Startled wombats can also charge humans and bowl them over, with the attendant risks of broken bones from the fall. One naturalist, Harry Frauca, once received a bite 2 cm (0.8 in) deep into the flesh of his leg—through a rubber boot, trousers and thick woolen socks. A UK newspaper, The Independent, reported that on 6 April 2010 a 59-year-old man from rural Victoria state was mauled by a wombat (thought to have been angered by mange), causing a number of cuts and bite marks requiring hospital treatment. He resorted to killing it with an axe.
