Since Standard English is usually time consuming to construct and difficult to use, people find it easier to use non-standard English, where the governing rules and grammar are more flexible making it efficient and easy to use. Non-standard English also complements and makes using technology less difficult and more efficient e.g. using numbers in a text “w8 4 me”. Using non-standard English also helps an individual represent and express one self-e.g. Lebanese people using words such as “cuz” for “cousin “ or Afghan origin people using the word “bachem” for brother in English.
A feeling of being separate and an increasing sense of isolation can occur because the brain is receiving less stimulation. An extensive loss of vision can result in: • an inability to negotiate the environment • a loss of sense of freedom • a loss of security • a loss of control in their environment. Impact on information One of the needs of people with a sensory impairment is to be able to obtain information. Whether it is written, spoken or signed information, it needs to be in an
The amount a person sweats and their communication skills are other signals that a person is telling a lie. However, whether these are realistic ways to tell if someone is lying or not is difficult to examine. (DePaulo 2003) researched this in depth and found that the consistent signs associated with lying were a higher pitched voice, greater vocal stress or tension and a shorter length of utterance. However these differences were always apparent and were often very slight. When considering the truth, rehearsal, seriousness and stress all need to be taken into consideration.
It is also stated that the language of ‘textese’ as it is called, maybe be just masking dyslexia. Dyslexia is a learning disability where people have difficulty seeing the word and its correct spelling in their head. ‘Textese’ makes it easy for dyslexic people because they don’t have to have all the letters in the word they just have to make sure the other person they are communicating with can understand them and what they are trying to say. These things are clearly the cons of ‘textese’ but in the article there are almost more pros than cons. ‘Textese’ is not as deviant as people think, they make it out to be the biggest first world problem anyone has ever seen but really its only if people are in a real rush that they use it.
These actions may be conscious, but as we have discussed, they can often be unconscious or unwitting. Attitudinal barriers: Are not as easy to identify as physical barriers, but they can feel every bit as real to those who are exposed to them.

As a general rule, we are used to think that as long as we talk, there is no danger of physical violence. But it sometimes happens that we suffer more from words than from a blow. In this respect, it is interesting to ask oneself to what point words are more powerful and dangerous than physical violence and weapons.
It’s said that personality traits are not the only factors that control an individual’s behavior; situations are important as well. Some situations will make a person more or less shy, open, careful or friendly, and more or less dominate this is because situations are varied according to the people who are present and implicit rules that apply (Prince & Bouafford. 1974: Wagerman & Funder, 2007. Funder pg 118) The dominate and the submissive for individual differences has zero value for a trait only a continuum at measuring how people differ from one another. The trait approach assumes that people are their traits, yet dominate and submissive shows that people are unpredictable and it’s all conditional on what is going on at the time of the situation.
Knowledge vs. Wisdom By Nhlanhla E Mjumira. Though knowledge and wisdom may seem alike, they are really very different. As a matter of fact they only have two things in common: Both require a brain and both are very hard to obtain. A knowledgeable person might dress in a fashion that can be accepted by everyone, not too conservative and not too abstract.
The question remains, can a person really be right- or left-brained? Does the brain really use only one side to control our bodies? [It’s absolutely true that some brain functions occur in one or the other side of the brain. Language tends to be on the left, attention more on the right. But people don’t tend to have a stronger left- or right- sided brain
People are also able to vote on the comment in terms of whether they are true or false. Invisibility and anonymity provide users with the courage of doing things that they wouldn’t normally do. People who are hidden behind the mask of anonymity are usually more imminent about their life and tend to act very differently as they would in their normal lives where their identity is known, one of the reasons for this is it allows the individuals to merge in to different social settings that their placed in. Many individuals feel down and disheartened due to the lack of sociality or conversation which results to them turning to violent forms of communication like insults, threats and hostile language. Not only in social networking but even in other online scenarios invisibility and anonymity plays a huge part, a person could be browsing through things like messages boards, chat rooms, status comments and others would have no idea the individual was there at all.
