Kirsten Laman ENGL 1301-61507 Professor Jackson 30 October 2014 Cognitive Effects of the Internet The book The Shallows by Nicholas Carr states that the introduction of the internet into society has had a profound effect on our culture. In other words, the internet has affected the way people think, read, and remember. The rapid access to tons of information has also affected people’s behavior making them less patient and less productive. According to Carr, “The Net commands our attention with far greater insistency than our television, or radio or morning newspaper ever did” (117). In today’s world, the internet has become essential to work, school and entertainment.
Assess the view that the process of globalisation has led to changes in both the amount of crime and the types of crime committed 21 Marks Globalisation refers to the process by which societies become increasingly interconnected. Many sociologists believe that in the last few decades we have entered a new phase of globalisation. This new phase has meant that globalisation has speeded up to such an extent that it is no longer possible for a society to remain insulated from significant events across the globe. The advent of satellite communication makes it possible for there to be instantaneous communication across the globe and for national boundaries to be crossed with ease. The result is that events occurring thousands of miles away can now have an almost immediate impact on us.
They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that is power.” In a world that has become so dependent on media for both news and entertainment, it’s important to understand how this power, or if I dare say weapon, is monitored and regulated. It’s also important to understand how it developed over the years. I believe that Malcom X in his speech was referring to Mainstream media and the power it holds or at least held.

In fact, many people believe that new media will one day replace traditional mainstream media outlets.
Molli Walgren Thaddeus Stoklasa Research Paper 18 November, 2010 Dnt Have Tyme 2 Tlk Text messaging has become a customary part of society’s daily schedule. Technology has completely taken over communication. Other sources of communication such as pen and paper are almost unheard of in today’s civilization.

Texting is infamous for not being a decent technique of showing emotion.
Rhetorical Analysis Essay- “Civil Disobedience” The public should not obey and respect a faulty, harmful or malfunctioned government. The essay “Civil disobedience” by Henry David Thoreau alerts the public of that idea and expounds upon it in a variety of ways. With his authorative, rebellious and mainly condescending tone, compelling point of view and diction he inspires the readers to espouse his distaste for the U.S. government and their unjust treatment of the American public. Why follow and associate yourself with a stronger, more powerful institution then yourself that is impure, less than perfect and abuses their powers?

Nerd Essay Analysis In Leonid Fridman’s essay “America Needs Its Nerds”, Fridman displays how intellect is seen as shameful act in the American society with the use of distraught and passionate tones.

Critical Review on “The Assasination of Malcolm X” based on three articles As we all know, the most powerful creator of rhetorical issue is the media. The media played a large and important role in consistently creating a negative public image of Malcolm X which is still connected with him. The reality created by the media is powerful enough to create lasting images and stereotypes about people.

The construction of social problems, by people or activist, have given rise to a false or exaggerated belief that cultural behavior or cultural groups give way to dangerously stereotyping that poses a threat to normal society.
