Social media has involved into an open diary for the world to see through someone’s post. Our world is verbally changing. These sites and applications have transformed communities into nonverbal texting societies. Social Media encourages us to interact with one another around the clock but it also causes us to be disconnected. This technology allows one to hide behind text, tweets, emoticons and status’ and allows the receiver to make up an emotional illusion that the sender perceives. This misinterpretation is one of the ways it effects relationships. If teens today have a problem with someone or an altercation they would rather talk it out in a text than talking on the phone or meeting up with that person. A study shows that texting and using other types of instant messaging such as Facebook or email can actually hurt rather than help relationships. On a survey that was recently done among 70 Snow College students, it was shown that 89% of those surveyed have had an argument with a significant other through text messaging or Facebook. Although texting is a handy tool, it lacks tone, emotion, facial expressions, body language, and eye contact. It is likely that the message can cause misinterpretation, misunderstanding, and even deception. The word ‘whatever’ is commonly misinterpreted because it has more than one meaning. In the survey, 42% said that they had a relationship with a boyfriend/girlfriend end, or be seriously affected by an argument they had through texting. Among the 42%, nearly all of those said that the argument, had it been held in person, could have been resolved. ( Drayton Ball ) Arguments can be solved much easier if you just meet up in person rather than text. Face-to-face confrontation allows one to see body language, eye contact, and emotion that way the message is not misleading. Misinterpretation doesn’t just happen through text with an argument but also with regular conversions. Like say, a girl gives a guy her number that wants to text. If she never met him is no way she would know that this guy could like her. She would call it being nice, and he might think she’s flirting. Now that could cause an awkward situation if she decides to meet him, because he perceived that he had a chance with her.
PROPOSAL & PONDER
I chose to write this paper because the personal paper I wanted to write didn’t have the research to support it. I want to write about if my birth control was driving me crazy, but I couldn’t find the proof. So I switch to negative impacts on teens through social media. During that research process a lot of articles came up but they were mostly blogs, people opinion. So I decided to write about how I know that social media ruins relationships and friend ships. Friendships are relationships just without the duty to have to visit them all the time. I had a lot to say about how teens uses social media but I guess nobody, in the help of structuring my paper, didn’t understand where I was coming from. Little did they know that’s was the point. They do petty things that are ridiculous on social media because it helped them hide behind their words. Or in finding out if there’s some gossip you go to the profiles lurking! In the root of it all social media creates a lot of gossip because people put their life on display. Making easy to lurk, picking up dirt on a person and finding “the scoop”. After all this madness on rather they find anything do you think that the person would go to their friend or partner to talk out their insecurities? No they send messages and messages are misleading. . Although texting is a handy tool, it lacks tone, emotion, facial expressions, body language, and eye contact. It is likely that the message can cause misinterpretation, misunderstanding, and even deception. In the root of explaining this point, because I know I’m a victim in participating in these events; I asked around and google to see what other people was calling it. I just couldn’t find the right words without sounding a little uneducated in a way. I felt like that because these activities usually end in an unnecessary ignorant outcome. I’m a very critical thinker. Ounce I say or write something I always see how I could write it better or what direction it’s going to take me. That’s why I bounce around so much when my mind starts to wonder. I could of wrote about some much inspirational an worth telling but with the short time I had I had to finish what I started. Making this paper difficult for me because it wasn’t personal to me I just want to get it done. I could of wrote about what I was going through these past week of the assignment but that would be a book, that was way too personal. With all the frustration I had with this paper, I don’t have any “take-aways”. Suggestions for future research topics: Do not wait till the last minute, Find something interesting before your supposed to start the assignment, Come to class every day; even if your confused and haven’t started , don’t be afraid to ask for help. This documentary brings together the thoughts and opinions of some of the world’s leaders in nutrition and natural healing. It argues that we live in a world of failing health care systems, where the focus is on symptoms of disease rather that the causes of disease. It’s a world where we are constantly being told that there is a ‘pill for every ill’. And along the way, somehow, the use of nutrition as a cure or preventative solution has gotten lost. The documentary asks what happen to the belief held by Hippocrates, father of medicine, that ‘Let Thy Food Be Thy Medicine, And Thy Medicine Be Thy Food.’ The answer is that there is no money in wellness, only in ill health. As leading nutritional advocate Andrew Saul says ‘good health makes a lot of sense but not a lot of dollars’.
The movie Food Matters was a very venerating film. The films main purpose was to give the audience an inside look on how the food we conceive is harming us. The quote that the movie is based on is “Let the food be thy medicine, and let thy medicine be thy food.” It is to believe that what you eat can play a big part in how you survive. I will be giving a few quotes from the film, and explain why I agree with the film makers
“Once quarter of what you eat keeps you alive, three quarters of what you eat keeps your doctors alive.” This quote is whole heartedly. The amount of chemicals used to process our foods are ridiculous. It has gotten so bad that even our healthiest foods are not giving us the nutrition they should. The movie states that with the right diet so many illnesses can be cured or maybe even prevented. Chronic Malnutrition is what the film states we are doing o our bodies. The vast decreeing of pesticides they spray on our food and how we get our solids ready for crops is damaging to us. They inject our food to try and make it “better”, if they would have left it alone in the first place it would have the nutrition needed. I feel as though farming needs to go back to how it was before. We are killing ourselves and the country seems not to care, “Good health makes a lot of sense, but not a lot of dollars!” in other words, they won’t change the way they crop our foods. To me this statement means if we keep eating bad and keep getting sick doctors make money. Health people don’t need medicines. Approximately 106,000 people die each year from properly taking pharmaceutical medicine. This needs to change. It’s sad to learn that we are basically killing ourselves. I agree with the films purpose. We need to change all the quotes in my paper around. The most important should be. “Three quarters of what you eat keeps you alive, One quarter keeps your doctors alive.” I hope this movie gets shown worldwide and that we the people chose to make a change. In class we looked as a picture of a lady with her children. My professor asked us to analyze the picture and try to describe what was going on. What conditions she was probably going through text, context, and subtext. I thought that it was a lady in the picture but some of the class debated that it looked like a man. I thought the family lived in a 3rd ward country, going through poverty because the house wasn't clean; there were scrapings on the wall. The baby crib was rusted and one of the baby's was naked. A light was on so I inferred that they had electricity but not water. They look as if they haven't taken a bath in a while. At the end of questioning my professor informed us that this was a family in America in present time. We also watched the movie Food Matters. Food Matters is about how we don't get enough nutrients in our diet and that if we did we wouldn't have to rely on pharmaceutical drugs to get better when we sick. The things we eat, we don't have any idea what's exactly in it. If people would pay attention to their nutrition that there would be less sickness. Our bodies are designed to heal itself but how if we are not giving it the building blocks to do so? If you don't give your body the right things your body can’t do its job. How can you hang a picture on a wall with a nail if you don't have a hammer? They made a point that nutritional therapy is illegal in America. Therefore to fix a sickness, doctors prescribe pharmaceutical drugs. That's because they spend billions of dollars on drug advertising that sells, and nutrition doesn't make as much. |
