Blocked!

Blog Post #5

Internet is a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication. The internet includes educational, governmental,  and other networks. Internet is useful for students when it comes with searching up things and students get help for their assignments online.

I think students and teachers should be allowed to access sites and services because it is helpful for us, students can learn from the sites if they need help for their work.

Student Sending Text Message On Mobile Phone In Class

If our school board blocked services like Snapchat or Instagram, I think that the students are going to be more productive for doing work. But at the same time, there's a problem when it comes with the group works, some students are using social media sites like Instagram. Some students are communicating through DM (Direct Message) and do their work there. 

The comments in the article are actually true, that students should pay more attention in class because Instagram, Snapchat and Netflix are not even that helpful to students and it is a distraction for us. There's no educational value could Snapchat, Instagram and Netflix possibly have. Students are supposed to listen to our teachers and learn, not to communicate with your friends in social media sites during class.

Twitter Wars - How Far is Too Far?

Blog Post #4 

Twitter is an online news and social networking service where users post and interact with messages which is "tweets" restricted to 140 characters. Twitter is the place to find out about what's happening in the world right now. 

Twitter

After reading the article about the tweets between the Toronto woman and man getting into a battle, it was unbelievable. Honestly, like I didn't know that there are people that having personal arguments in social media. The wrong thing about it, is they were having arguments in front of the people and all of the people who are using twitter.

Guthrie and Elliot were both wrong. First, because Elliot kept on tweeting about Guthrie even though he knew that Guthrie blocked him.  Second, Guthrie called Elliot a narcissist, a waste of carbon and a serial Twitter harasser. So basically, it was all about revenge.


I think people just have to be more careful about what they are posting, like if you know that you'll hurt someone's feeling or if you know that you might affect someone, you should not post or tweet about it because people around you can judge you and of course, you don't want to get some "haters" or enemy in social media. 


You should think twice before shaming anyone in social media because you don't know how sensitive people are, and they might put it in court and punish you. But I think if the posts are getting too personal, it might lead you to the court and get punished by the law.

Hey! Don't Meme Me!

Blog Post #3 

In my opinion, he doesn't have to sue the media. It was his choice to have that kind of hair, and of course,  it is an unusual look for people so that they would actually take a picture of it and do it as a meme. 

For me, memes are not that bad. He doesn't have to take it personally and we all know that it's just a hair and it will grow and change anyway, and there are memes that are worse than that, there are some offensive memes and if I was in his position I would feel sad and awkward  because they used my face to make a meme.

But there is a point that he can sue. If it actually affects his own self-esteem and can't take it anymore. All of us have different feelings, it might not affect you and it might affect you. 

My advice is just let it be, move on and don't waste your time paying attention with those people who make fun of your image. Just be happy and be you

Kids and Video Games

Blog Post #2 

Video games are among teens and children, there are more than 80% of ages 7 to 18 of Canadians who plays regularly. Young children who have difficulty distinguishing from reality to fantasy which makes them vulnerable to the effects of video games' violence.

I mean my opinion is, playing video games some of the time can be okay. Just choose the quality–– which includes TV, tablet, iPod and video games –– to no more 2 hours in a day.

But the negative effects with video games are the kids can see and learn violent things. When playing online, children can pick up bad language and behaviour from other people.

Sometimes, kids are spending much time playing video games and may cause impulsive behaviour and attention problems. Although, playing video games can be a learning experience, give the kids a variety of entertaining things to learn from, so the children will not be addicted to just one thing.

If you already know that playing video games can affect your grades and spending more time playing than doing your homework, try to control yourself and don't let distract yourself with video games because video games can only give us time to have fun but don't spend all the time playing video games.

Effects of Climate Change

Earth's climate is always changing. Many things can cause climate to change on its own. I believe that the Earth's temperature will keep going up and there would be more snow to melt and some places would get hotter. 

The most impact of climate change is how it will affect water resources around the world. Sandford, who chairs the Canadian Partnership Initiative of the UN Water for Life Decade, thinks that myth comes from misconceptions Canadians have about water. According to the National Post that Canada currently uses an average of 329 liters of water, per person and per day. Canada holds 20% of the world's water supply. According to the government of Saskatchewan that only 1% of the Earth's water is available for fresh drinking water.

Bottled water is a small but a contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, it takes fuel to make plastic bottles and ship them around the country or the world. Even though you consider that bottled water is just a filtered tap water.

According to a recent survey, 32% of  Canadians don't drink tap water at all and 41% of people don't their water in any way.

There's a lot we can do to reduce emissions, protect our water resources, and prevent climate change. Using less energy is a great way to start by turning off lights. Admit it that sometimes we leave the faucet open while brushing our teeth or while putting soap on to our hands or dishes, and it is considered as wasting water.

We need to conserve water by turning off the faucet while brushing our teeth or putting soap on to our hands or dishes, or like only run the dishwasher when there's a full load and wash your car with a pail of water and a sponge instead of using hose.

When it comes to water governance in Canada, the federal government has the authority related to fisheries and federal lands, including responsibilities to the management of boundary waters shared with United States. The federal government's role in water management in Canada. Within the federal government over 20 departments and agencies have responsibilities for fresh water. 

The government should protect and enhance our water resource and to promote the efficient and use of water.

Parents on Social Media

Blog Post #1

Social media is where you can communicate or interact with other people online. Social media is becoming a valuable part in our lives... and this is where you can share informations,  personal messages and other ideas.

When I was 13 years old I liked that my parents have a social media (Facebook) too because I thought that would be a great way to share some things with other people and they were trying to know what my habits are. As long as they are balanced with parenting and not addicted with Facebook. 

One time, they posted some of my pictures when I was 5 years old and they tagged me so that means the pictures that they posted were on my profile but that was fine with me then later on, they kept on posting of my brother's and my baby pictures, so I had to remove my tags from those pictures.. and one of my friends saw the pictures and I felt so shy about it.

I know that for them, sharing some memories to other people on social media is fun. But I don't see it in that way. So that, I had to tell them to stop posting too much pictures because we need some privacy and they don't have to share everything with other people, and I told them that everyone could see the posts.
