Teachers and professors think the Web is great to a certain point though. Teachers have noticed students are carried away by the Web because they are focusing less on reading. Carr agrees, “…. They don’t necessarily read a page from left to right and from top to bottom. They might instead skip around, scanning for pertinent information of interest… I can’t get my students to read whole books anymore…” (318).
Florence Foster Instructor David English 102 11 January 2011 I have chosen to write about Brent Staples “What Adolescents Miss When We Let Them Grow up in Cyberspace.” Staples argue that “so called online communities isolate adolescents and hinder their social development” (241). Which I believe to be true, but the world as we know it, is becoming very advanced to technology. So that would basically leave adolescents with two decisions, either they have to jump on board with technology, or be left behind. Which would you prefer? Social interactive technologies, such as instant messaging and texting messaging are beginning to redefine the social networks of today’s youth.

Healthcare is forever changing but is also becoming more and more diverse daily. A lot of organizations struggle in this area as they do not understand the importance of properly managing diversity. As the VP of HR it’s my responsibility to encourage and nurture the group of diverse individuals as they can often bring more innovative ideas, perspectives and views to their work and the organization as a whole. With the mixture of talents of diverse cultural backgrounds, genders, ages and lifestyles, an organization can respond to business opportunities more rapidly and creatively, especially in the global arena which must be one of the important organizational goals to be attained. More importantly, if the organizational environment does not support diversity broadly, one risks losing talent to competitors (Rosenberg, 2008).
A good solution might be to block the access to websites such as Facebook, so that technology can continue to be a tool for knowledge and intellectual advancement, rather than socialization. Many friends of mine use Facebook on a daily basis for several reasons: to chat with other friends, to see what other people’s lives look like, or to keep in contact with people that live far away. All five of the friends I asked said Facebook is a very useful website, but it is also addicting and a waste of time most of the time.

However, college students need to understand that using social networking sites religiously is not just an issue about the amount of time devoted towards schoolwork, but that it can literally change how they think. Social networking sites, along with Google and Wikipedia, are influencing how college students process information. Facebook is a great tool to keep in touch with friends, but the Internet needs to be used for educational purposes. Although the Internet can be used for educational purposes, the usage of sites like Facebook, Wikipedia, and Google have negatively changed the way college students think. Some credit can be laid upon the student, but ultimately we as a society need to fundamentally change how people use the Internet.

The people that interview us and give us our jobs have the option to use Facebook and technology to observe us and see what we are about and decide whether we would make a good fit for their position. In Roni Jacobson’s essay “Facebook Snooping on Job Candidates May Backfire for Employers” he says that “Profile screening (of our profiles on Facebook) could potentially color the judgment of the applicant- whether they realize it or not”. Everything we do online like posting about the awesome party we attended last night or saying something about how we hate working is seen by our employers which in some cases can cause loss of our opportunity for that job. Technology can give us opportunity but also take it away just like that. There are definitely positives and negatives that come out of technology but it doesn’t matter how much we learn or how much we take from it, we will never have anything without reality and the real life aspect of life itself.
Religious Organisations and Justice 1. Explain how, many religious organisations work for justice in the world today (8) One Christian organisation called tearfund works for justice by supporting 75,000 churches worldwide who ask local communities if they have any problems and if so, help the people solve them. The organisation also trains and equips people to end poverty and rebuild communities that have been destroyed by natural disasters, famine, disease, etc. This way of working has progressed into a huge team effort with 17 million people helping through community projects and preparation and recovery from disasters, most recently the hundreds of thousands of people, homeless in Iraq. Another organisation working for justice is the Ummah Welfare Trust.
