Social Media effects
Social Media is human communication of sharing information about yourself on the internet. It is
the biggest element in our lives at this moment. We can get any kind of information we want to
now about the other person. In the past decades friendships, dating, childhoods have been
evolving in very unexpected ways as a result of technological advances. In which ways does
social media/technology affect mental health of its user?
The theoretical framework that I will be using is Symbolic-Interaction Approach. I chose it,
because it analyzes society by stating their personal opinions and wha they believe, even though
it might not be true or correct. That is exactly what I need during this research, because we will
be discussing a very important topic - mental health. I chose quantitive analysis due to me
wanting to know the answers of people in different states in America, different genders, different
racial backgrounds, ages 15-25.
I will be using proportional quota sampling, because if I would chose something more random, I
wouldn't have control over the study, and because I can get 10 same people with same opinions,
and I would like to avoid that by choosing different states, genders, backgrounds… The strength
of this design is, the control the researcher has over it. If it wants to research black males from
18-25 years old, he can. Other types of sampling have their strengths in different ways.
My study population will be from 4 different states: California, Illinois, Florida, New York. 40
people from each state which are: Latinos, Whites, Blacks, Asians. 5 people of each gender of
each state will participate, ages 15-25. The two studies that would describe my study population
would be the study “Social media addiction and how it affects our lives” (Tunc-Aksan and
Akbay 2019). These are college students, ages (18-23). The two finding of the study are: first
cause of addiction to social media is the addiction to smartphones; the second result showed us,
the “fear of missing out”.
I will be collecting my own data because, I am very passionate about this topic, and want to
create and analyze answers myself. I will submit IRB application to collect data on human
subjects. The reason why I would make my own question is answered below, this subject
interests me a lot, and with my questions I want the participants to realize the amount of time
they spend on social media and change their lives for the better.
My ten questions will be:
1. When did you get your first smartphone?
2. When did you create your first social media account? What was it?
3. How many hours do you spend on social media in a day?
4. Are you satisfied with your social media usage?
5. How many times do you check your phone in one hours?
6. How do you feel when you use social media?
7. How long would you be able to put your phone down for?

Epidemiology versus Data Collection Bias - Studying the Needs of Platform Wor...Maria Wolters
When looking at data science approaches to studying the needs of platform workers, most people use a methodology centred around mining social media. In this brief presentation at an Alan Turing Institute Workshop, I argue that epidemiological data sets and large social science surveys can shed light on aspects of platform workers' experience that are not disclosed on public forums.
The free and open exchange of knowledge empowers people, promotes accountability and sparks creativity. However, publishing and using data for social good can sometimes have the opposite result: cautionary tales are shared in corridors and back channels about open data projects that empowered the powerful, endangered the powerless, and generally made things worse while honestly trying to help.
This session will present real life stories from the Dark Side of Data, and provide a conversation space for all those who wish to share their experiences of community data snafus, ranging from hilarious to perilous, with the goal of transparently learning from our failures, and empowering new projects with roadmaps on how to open and share responsibly.

1. Discussion Points (Use your browser to conduct research on the following) (Minimum 350 Words)
1) When looking at the chronology of the development of the Internet, which development do you believe to be the most important? Why?
2) In terms of online users, are the genders equally represented? How about for minorities? What types of resources are available online, specifically for men? How valuable to you believe these resources are? What types of resources are available online, specifically for women? How valuable to you believe these resources are? Are there resources available to specific ethnicities?
3) If you know of any good web sites with resources for men, please share the URLs and tell us why you feel the site is of value to men. If you know of any good web sites with resources for women, please share the URLs and tell us why you feel the site is of value to women.
4) How beneficial are health and medical web sites? How reliable is the information?
5) The Internet has been championed as inherently democratic. Do you agree? Are there reasons why this theory is flawed? Why?
6) Provide the URL of at least two sites that discuss the impact of the Internet on any one of the concepts discussed this week and provide a brief review of the information contained there. Did you learn anything new? Were you surprised by any of the information presented on the site?
2. Respond to this discussion
150 Words Minimum, provide direct questions if needed.
1) When looking at the chronology of the development of the Internet, which development do you believe to be the most important? Why?
I would say the most important development was the first message sent over ARPANET. A UCLA student named Charley Kline attempted to send a text message that simply said “login”. He got as far as the first two letters (“lo”) and then the system crashed. After waiting an hour to remedy the system the word “login” was successfully sent (Brown, 2017). This is so important because it laid out the framework for our modern internet.
2) In terms of online users, are the genders equally represented? How about for minorities? What types of resources are available online, specifically for men? How valuable to you believe these resources are? What types of resources are available online, specifically for women? How valuable to you believe these resources are? Are there resources available to specific ethnicities?
The genders are pretty evenly matched with 74% of men and 72% of women using the internet. Races have a little more gap than gender with 78% of white people having broadband vs 65% of black people and only 58% of Hispanic individuals (Internet, Science & Tech, 2018). The internet has different resources tailed to each sex just as some magazines, literature, media, etc. targets a specific gender and race. YouTube is great resource that can be tailored to a specific interests including race and gender. I can only speak for white men but, the resources are plentif ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Artificial Intelligence and Health: What does Generation Z expect?
1.

3. THE DIGITAL HEALTH GENERATION
•Wellcome Trust project exploring how young people engage with health
information through digital platforms
•3 phases – from examining the mobile health apps library to working with
18 year olds to understand how they feel about using digital environments
for health
•The nexrt stage will further explore artificial intelligence and young people,
•We are concerned that young people’s voices are often excluded from
horizon scanning.
4. YOUNG PEOPLE AND AI: WHAT WE KNOW
•Despite many reports being published, research specifically
on AI and health with young people is limited.
•Our phase 2 research reveals some insights.
5. AI HAS BECOME AN EVERYDAY THING
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
Accenture, 2017
6.
7.
8. “young people are more likely to fear robots and the
future of AI than older people, perhaps because they are
more tech-savvy or have seen recent movie blockbusters
on the theme…. While 26% of all age groups think AI is a
threat, this rises to 47% of those aged under 30.” (Swiftkey
2016, UK).
9. WHAT OUR PARTICIPANTS SAID (13-18)
•Expressed value in terms of helping
NHS more adequately allocate
resources
•Expressed desire for face to face still
•Overwhelmed by technology
•Good to chat with a bot if it is an
embarrassing matter
•Can’t always trust a computer
•Text conversation more like
normal life (compared to a
call)
•Healthcare such a personal
thing, don’t want an
algorithm to determine your
care
10. “obviously the NHS is so busy and like, short
staffed, and all the doctors and nurses and
everyone works so hard, that would kind of, filter
out the things that might not be so serious”
(Female/18/White European)
11. “It sounds faster, also especially in the first part it
would feel like you weren’t talking to another
person, so if it was an issue that could cause
embarrassment, you could talk quite freely”
(Female/17/Mixed Race)
12. •Interviewer: “what do you like about it?”
•Participant: “That it’s like a text conversation, so
it’s a bit more like normal to be texting
someone.” (female/14/White British)
13. •Interviewer: “what do you like about it?”
•Participant: “That it’s like a text conversation, so
it’s a bit more like normal to be texting
someone.” (female/14/White British)
14. “I think health is such a personal thing and everyone’s
different and you can’t have a computer run an
algorithm and figure out what this person should do
because it might be completely different to what
someone else needs to do, so,
yeah.” (Female/16/White South African)
15. KEY VALUES OF AI HEALTH
•Efficiency & EASE
•Care Continuity
•Access to data
•Single source of ‘truth’ on
your health
•Collective support
•Personalised treatment
•Prevention
17. DISCUSSION
•We would like your input on the next phase of this research
•What do you think we should ask young people? 13-18 years
•Which communities of young people should we aim to reach especially?
•What kind of public dialogue do we need at this point?
