Instructions
In the final draft of your research-based argument, the culmination of your work this semester, you will be analyzing your chosen topic and presenting your argument. You will be supporting your argument with research based on at least five sources, and will be expected to quote and to give examples from the texts as necessary, demonstrating your skills in summary, analysis and synthesis, and to provide correct citations and a Works Cited list using MLA format. As mentioned, you should include both print and online sources, and at least three should be scholarly in nature. The others may be newspaper or magazine articles, reports, etc. A personal interview can be counted as one of the five sources.
Below, as specified earlier, are guidelines to the expected organization of the paper:
Introduction
This should introduce your topic and the particular issue(s) on which your research focuses, and provide a brief background. Your thesis statement (one sentence, showing your own argument) should be in a prominent position and should be obvious to the reader. You may use an attention-getting opener if you wish.
Body
This will be in at least three sections (a section may be more than one paragraph). You may need to provide more background information, but remember to keep the emphasis on the argument. Each section should begin with a major supporting argument, which you will develop with minor supporting points, adding examples or details to illustrate these as necessary. Try to keep your body sections approximately equal in length. You should use your sources (all those in Works Cited should be mentioned in the body of the paper) to reinforce your arguments. Include a reasonable number of direct quotations. Provide citations in MLA format for both quotations and paraphrases. You should refer to the counter-argument(s) to your thesis, with support from sources if applicable.

The assignment now because requires some research into “strong sources.” Those sources that support your response will require footnotes and a bibliography to present you evidence, in CHICAGO MANUAL STYLE
The first part will not require it, but part two should have an attempt at citing your sources using Chicago Manual style. The video “HOW TO: Cite in Chicago Manual Style” will demonstrate is and model the method of citing your references. It would be the first time trying to cite in any style for many of you, so that tutorial will be a good starting point for the beginners and a refresher for others. Also, you may use the web-site Purdue OwlNet

Title and Outline Include a title slide with the title of your presentation, your full name and affiliation.Make your second slide an outline of your presentation
Ex: previous slideFollow the order of your outline for the rest of the presentationOnly place main points on the outline slide
Ex: Use the titles of each slide as main points
*
Slide Structure Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentationWrite in point form, not complete sentencesInclude 4-5 points per slideAvoid wordiness: use key words and phrases only
Slide StructureThis page contains too many words for a presentation slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. Although there are exactly the same number of points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks much more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.
Slide StructureShow one point at a time:
Will help audience concentrate on what you are saying
Will prevent audience from reading ahead
Will help you keep your presentation focused
Slide StructureDo not use distracting animation
Do not go overboard with the animation, if you decide to use any
Be consistent with the animation that you use
FontsUse at least an 18-point fontUse different size fonts for main points and secondary points
this font is 24-point, the main point font is 28-point, and the title font is 36-pointUse a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial
FontsIf you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written
CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ
Don’t use a complicated font
ColorUse a color of font that contrasts sharply with the background
Ex: blue font on white backgroundUse color to reinforce the logic of your structure
Ex: light blue title and dark blue textUse color to emphasize a point
But only use this occasionally
ColorUsing a font color that does not contrast with the background color is hard to read Using color for decoration is distracting and unprofessional.So is using color to creative.Using a different color for each point is unnecessary
Using a different color for secondary points is also unnecessary
BackgroundUse backgrounds such as this one that are attractive but simple
Use backgrounds which are light, with dark text
Use the same background consistently throughout your presentation

Title of This Paper
<your name here>
Florida International University
CGS 3095 – <enter the semester here>
Abstract
This is a very brief synopsis of the entire paper, stating what the issue is and some idea of the approach or analysis used. You may also wish to state what you intend to show in this paper. The abstract will be a single paragraph.
Title of the Paper1 INTRODUCTION
This is the start of your paper. The first paragraph should briefly introduce the problem or issues, without too much detail. Briefly state what you intend to show in this paper. All should be double-spaced, as shown in this format sample. Margins are 1” on all sides. Add a page header as shown. Use fonts and font sizes exactly as shown in this document.
Paragraph two should outline the structure of your paper, in a fashion similar to this. This paper is organized as follows. Section 1 presents a detailed description of the problem or issue, Section 2 describes..., and Section N presents conclusions. This part of the paper should be only one or two paragraphs long. Generally, two paragraphs is sufficient for the introduction.2. BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE (or whatever is appropriate for your topic)
Major section numbers should then commence, using the heading formats shown below. Any figures or charts should be small in size, and may not be counted in the page count. They should be labeled “Figure a.b” where a represents the section number, and b represents the sequential numbering of figures within that section.
2.1 Section subheading
You must have a minimum of five separate references, from different sources (i.e., do not use five web pages from the same web site). References must be done in IEEE style, and should start on a new page. In-line citations and reference numbering will be done in the IEEE fashion. References should be dated within the past 3 years. Each reference is double-spaced as shown at the end of this format document.

How to write successful essays for History 1302
Different Types of Essays
In your history courses you might write different types of essays.
Most of them involve description of events, discussion of ideas, summarization of information, and analysis or evaluation.
Analysis might involve classifying, comparing and contrasting, explaining causes and effects, exploring a topic's history, or describing a process.
Or, you might be asked to write an essay that explains the effects of something: the effects of a war, of a law, of a social movement.
Sometimes you may need to take a stan.

April is a fourth grader with a language impairment, but no physical.docxYASHU40
April is a fourth grader with a language impairment, but no physical impairment. Her performance on norm-referenced measures is 1.5 standard deviations below the mean for her chronological age. April has good decoding skills, but has difficulty with reading comprehension, semantics, and morphological processing. One accommodation that is prescribed in the IEP is the use of visual cues to support comprehension when learning new skills. She lacks organizational skills for writing and struggles with word choice. She receives services from a speech and language pathologist who is working with her on understanding word parts, vocabulary, and multiple meanings of words. You instruct April in a resource classroom with five other fourth grade students who also struggle with reading and written expression.
Communication goals in IEP:
April will identify at least five key content vocabulary words from an assigned reading using text with Mayer-Johnson symbols in Proloquo2go software and text to speech software with 90% accuracy over 10 consecutive trials.
April will write a definition for up to five key content vocabulary words from an assigned reading with 90% accuracy on a rubric over 10 consecutive trials.
April will use up to five key content vocabulary words in written sentences that use the word correctly in context, and include correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar with 90% accuracy over 10 consecutive trials.

The Social Life of Wireless Urban Spaces:
Internet Use, Social Networks, and the Public
Realm
Keith N. Hampton, Oren Livio, & Lauren Sessions Goulet
Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA
This study explores the role of urban public spaces for democratic and social engagement.
It examines the impact of wireless Internet use on urban public spaces, Internet users, and
others who inhabit these spaces. Through observations of 7 parks, plazas, and markets in 4
North American cities, and surveys of wireless Internet users in those sites, we explore how
this new technology is related to processes of social interaction, privatism, and democratic
engagement. Findings reveal that Internet use within public spaces affords interactions with
existing acquaintances that are more diverse than those associated with mobile phone use.
However, the level of colocated social diversity to which Internet users are exposed is less
than that of most users of these spaces. Yet, online activities in public spaces do contribute
to broader participation in the public sphere. Internet connectivity within public spaces
may contribute to higher overall levels of democratic and social engagement than what is
afforded by exposure within similar spaces free of Internet connectivity.
doi:10.1111/j.1460-2466.2010.01510.x
Internet access in public parks, plazas, markets, and streets has been made possible
through the proliferation of broadband wireless Internet in the form of municipal
and community wi-fi (e.g., NYC Wireless) and advanced mobile phone networks
(e.g., 3G). The experience of wireless Internet use in the public realm contrasts with
traditional wired Internet use, which is confined primarily to the private realm of the
home and the parochial realm of the workplace. An extensive literature has addressed
the influence of Internet use on the composition of people’s social networks
(Hampton, Sessions, & Her, in press), their engagement in political, voluntary, and
other organizational activities (Boulianne, 2009), and their interactions within home
and workplaces (Bakardjieva, 2005; Quan-Haase & Wellman, 2006). But, Internet
use in the public realm has remained relatively unexplored. This type of use carries
with it significant implications for urban planning, the structure of community, and
the nature of democracy.

You must have a minimum of five separate references, from different sources (i.e., do not use five web pages from the same web site). References must be done in IEEE style, and should start on a new page. In-line citations and reference numbering will be done in the IEEE fashion. References should be dated within the past 3 years. Each reference is double-spaced as shown at the end of this format document. References should appear in the References section in the order in which they are used in the body of the paper [1], not alphabetically. Inline citations should use reference document numbers instead of author names [2]. An easy way to get the References format correct is to use the Citation Machine web site to build your references, located at https://www.citationmachine.net/style At the top of this page, select IEEE, then select the type of reference (journal, book, etc.). Then enter the information on the associated screen, and let this web site build the correct reference format for you, which can then be copied and pasted into your References section. Build the references as you write the paper, so that you will not have to go back and determine the source of the material in your paper. You can also use Microsoft Word’s reference generator.

How to write successful essays for History 1302
Different Types of Essays
In your history courses you might write different types of essays.
Most of them involve description of events, discussion of ideas, summarization of information, and analysis or evaluation.
Analysis might involve classifying, comparing and contrasting, explaining causes and effects, exploring a topic's history, or describing a process.
Or, you might be asked to write an essay that explains the effects of something: the effects of a war, of a law, of a social movement.
Sometimes you may need to take a stan.

April is a fourth grader with a language impairment, but no physical.docxYASHU40
April is a fourth grader with a language impairment, but no physical impairment. Her performance on norm-referenced measures is 1.5 standard deviations below the mean for her chronological age. April has good decoding skills, but has difficulty with reading comprehension, semantics, and morphological processing. One accommodation that is prescribed in the IEP is the use of visual cues to support comprehension when learning new skills. She lacks organizational skills for writing and struggles with word choice. She receives services from a speech and language pathologist who is working with her on understanding word parts, vocabulary, and multiple meanings of words. You instruct April in a resource classroom with five other fourth grade students who also struggle with reading and written expression.
Communication goals in IEP:
April will identify at least five key content vocabulary words from an assigned reading using text with Mayer-Johnson symbols in Proloquo2go software and text to speech software with 90% accuracy over 10 consecutive trials.
April will write a definition for up to five key content vocabulary words from an assigned reading with 90% accuracy on a rubric over 10 consecutive trials.
April will use up to five key content vocabulary words in written sentences that use the word correctly in context, and include correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar with 90% accuracy over 10 consecutive trials.

The Social Life of Wireless Urban Spaces:
Internet Use, Social Networks, and the Public
Realm
Keith N. Hampton, Oren Livio, & Lauren Sessions Goulet
Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA
This study explores the role of urban public spaces for democratic and social engagement.
It examines the impact of wireless Internet use on urban public spaces, Internet users, and
others who inhabit these spaces. Through observations of 7 parks, plazas, and markets in 4
North American cities, and surveys of wireless Internet users in those sites, we explore how
this new technology is related to processes of social interaction, privatism, and democratic
engagement. Findings reveal that Internet use within public spaces affords interactions with
existing acquaintances that are more diverse than those associated with mobile phone use.
However, the level of colocated social diversity to which Internet users are exposed is less
than that of most users of these spaces. Yet, online activities in public spaces do contribute
to broader participation in the public sphere. Internet connectivity within public spaces
may contribute to higher overall levels of democratic and social engagement than what is
afforded by exposure within similar spaces free of Internet connectivity.
doi:10.1111/j.1460-2466.2010.01510.x
Internet access in public parks, plazas, markets, and streets has been made possible
through the proliferation of broadband wireless Internet in the form of municipal
and community wi-fi (e.g., NYC Wireless) and advanced mobile phone networks
(e.g., 3G). The experience of wireless Internet use in the public realm contrasts with
traditional wired Internet use, which is confined primarily to the private realm of the
home and the parochial realm of the workplace. An extensive literature has addressed
the influence of Internet use on the composition of people’s social networks
(Hampton, Sessions, & Her, in press), their engagement in political, voluntary, and
other organizational activities (Boulianne, 2009), and their interactions within home
and workplaces (Bakardjieva, 2005; Quan-Haase & Wellman, 2006). But, Internet
use in the public realm has remained relatively unexplored. This type of use carries
with it significant implications for urban planning, the structure of community, and
the nature of democracy.

Application Case Siemens Builds a Strategy-Oriented HR System.docxYASHU40
Application Case Siemens Builds a Strategy-Oriented HR System
Siemens is a 150-year-old German company, but it’s not the company it was even a few years ago. Until recently, Siemens focused on producing electrical products. Today the firm has diversified into software, engineering, and services. It is also global, with more than 400,000 employees working in 190 countries. In other words, Siemens became a world leader by pursuing a corporate strategy that emphasized diversifying into high-tech products and services, and doing so on a global basis.
With a corporate strategy like that, human resource management plays a big role at Siemens. Sophisticated engineering and services require more focus on employee selection, training, and compensation than in the average firm, and globalization requires delivering these services globally. Siemens sums up the basic themes of its HR strategy in several points. These include:
A living company is a learning company.
The high-tech nature of Siemens’ business means that employees must be able to learn on a continuing basis. Siemens uses its system of combined classroom and hands-on apprenticeship training around the world to help facilitate this. It also offers employees extensive continuing education and management development.
Global teamwork is the key to developing and using all the potential of the firm’s human resources.
Because it is so important for employees throughout Siemens to feel free to work together and interact, employees have to understand the whole Siemens process not just bits and pieces. To support this, Siemens provides extensive training and development. It also ensures that all employees feel they’re part of a strong, unifying corporate identity. For example, HR uses cross-border, cross-cultural experiences as prerequisites for career advances.
A climate of mutual respect is the basis of all relationships—within the company and with society.
Siemens contends that the wealth of nationalities, cultures, languages, and outlooks represented by its employees is one of its most valuable assets. It therefore engages in numerous HR activities aimed at building openness, transparency, and fairness, and supporting diversity.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Instructions
In the final draft of your research-based argument, the
culmination of your work this semester, you will be analyzing
your chosen topic and presenting your argument. You will be
supporting your argument with research based on at least five
sources, and will be expected to quote and to give examples
from the texts as necessary, demonstrating your skills in
summary, analysis and synthesis, and to provide correct
citations and a Works Cited list using MLA format. As
mentioned, you should include both print and online sources,
and at least three should be scholarly in nature. The others may
be newspaper or magazine articles, reports, etc. A personal
interview can be counted as one of the five sources.
Below, as specified earlier, are guidelines to the expected
organization of the paper:
Introduction
This should introduce your topic and the particular issue(s) on
which your research focuses, and provide a brief background.
Your thesis statement (one sentence, showing your own
argument) should be in a prominent position and should be
obvious to the reader. You may use an attention-getting opener
if you wish.
Body
This will be in at least three sections (a section may be more
than one paragraph). You may need to provide more background
information, but remember to keep the emphasis on the
argument. Each section should begin with a major supporting
3. argument, which you will develop with minor supporting points,
adding examples or details to illustrate these as necessary. Try
to keep your body sections approximately equal in length. You
should use your sources (all those in Works Cited should be
mentioned in the body of the paper) to reinforce your
arguments. Include a reasonable number of direct quotations.
Provide citations in MLA format for both quotations and
paraphrases. You should refer to the counter-argument(s) to
your thesis, with support from sources if applicable.
Any field work, e.g. a survey, should be described after the
theoretical discussion. You may present tables or charts to
illustrate your findings, but these should also be analyzed in
writing.
Interviews can be used as evidence just like any other source,
but if you feel an interview is particularly important you may
wish to discuss it in a separate paragraph. If you quote your
interviewee’s words, they must be exact; otherwise, use
reported speech.
Conclusion
The conclusion should summarize your findings and restate your
thesis in different words. If you have recommendations for
future action or further research, you should include them here.

Final Paper
Social Media: A Problem or A Phenomenon?
“I have more than one thousand friends, but I know none of
them” one of my friends in the university said. I got astonished
how something like this may happen, but things became clear
when I knew she was talking about her Facebook friends. The
sentence shocked me as all her friends are online friends or
friends in the virtual world. This is true to a great extent as, due
the fast-paced life and the great technological development,
people get more involved in work so they do not have enough
10. time to meet each other. The invention of the internet and its
applications and, moreover, smart phones, makes it easy for all
people to connect and meet each other online anytime,
anywhere. Therefore, because of the lack of time and the easy
access to modern technology, talking to people face-to-face
becomes something difficult. That is why my friend, like a large
number of people, have thousands of internet friends, but in
reality, their friends are very few.
Searching about the issue that the internet and its
applications make people more isolated opens the doors for
broader facts and thousands of stories. People are connected all
day long as their mobiles have applications that enable them to
use the internet anytime in the day. In other words, it takes a
long time to go to friends and meet them while people can meet
online while at home, at work or at the gym. This creates a kind
of new thinking and new habits in life and most importantly
new ways of doing things and, by and by, the original and
traditional ways of doing things become old-fashioned. Social
media comes at the top of the table of the most used
applications of the internet but at the same time, they contribute
to making people more and more isolated. Therefore, although
social media helps in making distances closer and allowing
people to connect with each other without even meeting, they
contribute to making people lonelier and make their health
worse.
Using social media is very good if it is considered a way to
connect with people whom are never seen for a long time.
Neighbors, friends and family members miss each other while
getting older because of marriage, work or even study, so they
resort to the social media in order to meet again. They become
friends again by the use of the several social media like
Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and many others. This is a very
good use of the social media but the real problem is when
people who are very close to each other use social media to
connect when it takes them only a few minutes to meet. One
hurting joke is that “if you want the family members to meet at
11. the same house, just switch off the internet router” which is
really hurting as family members in the same house do not meet
as long as they are connected to the internet.
One heart-breaking story about the isolation the use of social
media causes is the story of an old lady who died in her house
for many months without anybody knowing about her although
she has thousands of friends but on Facebook. Stephen Marche
in his article “Is Facebook Making Us Lonely?” discusses the
role that social media, mainly Facebook, plays in making people
lonely and isolated, as his title itself suggests. Marche takes an
example of the eighty three year old Yvette Vickers, a Playboy
porn star, who died in her room for months without anybody to
notice. Once the police got into her house, they found that she
was mummified beside her computer on which there were a lot
of Facebook posts and tweets on Twitter and too many friends
but on the web only. The story of Vickers is very touching as
she died in isolation although the number of her social media
friends is astonishing. “Vickers had made calls not to friends or
family but to distant fans who had found her through fan
conventions and Internet sites” which means that although she
has thousands of friends, she died in loneliness as all her
friends are in the virtual world. Moreover, “Facebook denies us
a pleasure whose profundity we had underestimated: the chance
to forget about ourselves for a while, the chance to disconnect”
which means that the problem is in the users not in the
technology. Once again, social media contributes to making
people more and more isolated.
Besides the negative social effect of social media of being
lonely and isolated, extra usage of the social media causes
health problems. First of all, the screens of computers and smart
phones cause dangers sight problems. Moreover, sitting before
computers also causes problems to bones and spine. Users can
simply post or tweet their status to express what they feel and
other people can also simply react by liking the post and share
the feelings so that this causes self-satisfaction. The psychology
of users, therefore, change to be better. At the same time, when
12. users post something and get negative comments, their
psychology turns to the worst and so on. That is to say that
besides social effects there are effects on both the physical and
mental health of users.
Fleck and Migalski in their article The Impact of Social
Media on Personal and Professional Lives: An Adlerian
Perspective”, discuss the effects of social media on the health of
users in accordance with the Adlerian theory which connects the
word ‘social’ with relationships and interaction between people
either positively or negatively. This article presents a good
definition of social media, then relate social media to the
Adlerian theory. Basically, the word social means society and
relations between people so that, as social media is mainly built
on social networks and interest in social relations of people in
the virtual world, they can be analyzed in social and
psychological terms. Users of social media can be diagnosed
according to the way they behave whether they are interact with
others for individual interests or for social interests. For Fleck
and Migalski, excessive usage of social media is a
psychological disease that can be diagnosed and treated, as
“social media can add stress to boundary creation and
maintenance” (138), which means that stress is one of the
diseases that can be diagnosed and treated.
On the other hand, usage of social media is linked with
urbanism and civilization so that it is a must as the world is
changing which means that it is the user who is to blame for the
problem, not the technology. In other words, people used to
connect by signs then language was invented so that they use
language to communicate. After that, the post and other
developments were introduced, till the telephone was invented.
During these changes and improvements, the way people used to
do things changed. For example, people used river water and
simple wooden materials to wash and clean clothes, whereas at
the present, they are using washing machine. That is to say, by
the technological improvements, people change how they do
things so that technology has nothing to do with the effects of
13. technology but the cause is the user. The same thing applies to
social media as they are found to make people connect, but if
people misuse them, it is the responsibility of the people, not
the social media. in other words, using social media is a sign of
development and urbanism and the problem is in the users not
the technology. In other words, the usage of social media
affects the empathetic social skills of users and so makes them
unable to recognize the negative effects of using social media
because the effect can be discovered on the long run. The
effects of social media takes a long time to be defined, so
people do not give social media great interest in terms of being
a problem. According to Terri H. Chan, in his article entitled
“Facebook and its Effects on Users’ Empathic Social Skills and
Life Satisfaction: A Double-Edged Sword Effect”, it is clear
that social media, mainly Facebook lessens users’ empathetic
skills. Chan finds that “some people incline to replace genuine
real world interactions with less engaging digital ones, causing
the suppression” (277), which means that as long as people
resort to social media as a kind of replacing the reality with the
virtual world, it will be difficult to them to see there is any bad
effect.
Urbanism and social media are connected to each other as
using technology is linked with education and civilization. Zip,
Parker and Wyly in their article entitled “Facebook as a Way of
Life: Louis Wirth in the Social Network” discuss the
implication of the change people have from real life to the
virtual life. As the number of users of the internet is increasing
rapidly and the facilities internet providers present, the debate
about the effects of the usage of social media increases to take
different perspectives. The authors discuss the usage of social
media in comparison with urbanism. People in large areas are
urbanized so that the usage of social media become inevitable
as authors connected social media to urbanism. Social media is
a phenomenon and each phenomenon has its own merits and
demerits.
Although digital media is a revolution in the world of
14. technology, it is not only the responsibility of users to extra use
but also the programmers and owners of the social media
companies. The policy of the social media owners depends on
the largest number of people they can have. Facebook and
twitter are the most known social media to which a large
number of users have accounts. During the hidden war between
the two companies to gain more and more users, each company
presents facilities and new applications to tempt users.
Therefore, users have nothing to do with the nature of the
technology as all people are opt to temptations everywhere.
Advertisements, offers and promotions are done to make
customers buy the product. In this regard, social media changes
into a product so that the responsibility is not that of users. In
most of the cases, users cannot recognize the attempts done by
social media owners in their advertisements. Although not all
people are driven in this concern and people have the free
choice, using social media for them is a result of the trend.
More importantly, the policy of the owners of the social
media is built on their own benefit in the first place. In article
by Lövheim, Jansson, Paasonen and Sumiala entitled “Social
Media Implications for Everyday Life, Politics And Human
Agency”, it appears clear that the policy of the social media
owners contribute to the nature of users. “Detached from
networks of potentiality, exchange, and investment, the act of
internet usage is reframed as an isolated activity driven by the
desire for online access” (Lövheim et al, 36) means that the
usage of the internet is a sort of addiction. In this regard, social
media is similar to drugs, smoking or alcohol in terms of
addiction. In other words, the use of social media is exactly like
anything else in the world as it is used by humans so that it is
not true to say that it is the responsibility of the users because
social media is like any other product and inventions that is
used by people. To make it clearer, in case there were no social
media, mobile phones will be used for only making calls and
receiving them.
In Kuwait the problem of extra usage of the internet, mainly
15. social media, is crystal clear. Only one walk by car makes it
easy for anyone to see how everybody uses social media inside
cars, at the traffic lights, on the street and everywhere else.
Using social media is not specified to certain age-group, as
children use social media exactly like adults. Moreover, the
usage of social media interferes in everyday life as people
advertise using Instagram, and politicians use Twitter to monger
their politics or reply to a public opinion. The reasons behind
the extra usage of social media is the cheap and available
telephone and mobile services, as well as the availability of
modern equipment like smart phones and tablets which are easy
to get. The hurting scene is when the young people gather in
one place, like Diwanya, and everyone is holding their smart
phones not noticing or even talking to others. That is why the
overuse of social media makes people more isolated.
In conclusion, social media usage is inevitable because of the
easy accessibility to the internet by all people. The extra usage
of social media makes people lonelier as they have a lot of
friends but in the virtual world. The usage of social media
makes the contact between people lesser and so makes the
distances farther. Moreover, the excessive usage of social media
makes people prone to health problems. Although some people
say that it is the responsibility of users not the technology,
social media are like any other invention that are used by
humans. In a nutshell, rationality in using social media can
reduce the effects and solve the problem.

Research Proposal
1. Working title:
Online Resources Versus Printed books
17. 2. Research questions
What is social media? How can the virtual world of the internet
substitute the real world? How does the invention of smart
phone contribute to the extra usage of social media? Why is
social media making people more isolated? How does the
internet change the way people live? If social media are used to
connect people regardless of the distance, why are they
considered a factor of making people farther than they really
are? Why is the opinion of psychoanalysis about the problem?
How can the usage of social media be considered a sign of
modernity and urbanism? Who is to blame for the extra usage of
social media, the users or the producers of the technology? How
does the issue of the extra usage of social media appear in
Kuwait?
3. Working thesis
Although printed books are the cornerstone for students and
scholars, the use of online resources become reliable alternative
and take the place of prints in academic researches so that it is
better than printed resources.
4. Background
Social media become a part of people’s life nowadays.
Whenever you go, you will find people using their mobile
phones to check their social media accounts and see what other
friends wrote or even read about news or finance. Social media
are taking the role of other media like newspapers or magazines
as the internet makes almost everything available on mobile
phones, tablets and laptops. What makes the usage of social
media in Kuwait so easy is the cheap internet charge service and
also the good wealth of people who are able to buy tools like
smartphones and such inventions and also because of the
instalments system which makes it easy for everybody to buy
and use the technology. However, at the same time, people are
using social media in a very bad way that they neglect others in
the same place. One more point is that the usage of social media
is changing the way we live and think.
5. Justification of topic
18. Too many researches and studies enriched with practical and
statistical charts and tables have been done to study the effect
of using social media on people. The matter is not merely about
studying the usage of social media from a personal perspective.
It rather exceeds this to study the overall effect on society and
on relations between individuals as well. That is why writing
about the effects of social media and researching about it makes
it crucial as the entire world is transforming into a more electric
automated world.
6. Methodology
The main resources to resort to will be taken from AUK online
library JSTOR and EBESCO. Other resources will be taken from
The Atlantic to make the research more reliable. The keywords
of the essay are: social media, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin,
Instagram. The information taken from the above-mentioned
resources are going to be analyzed and studied, then, they will
be contributed to the issue in Kuwait. After doing the research I
hope I will be able to understand two things: the effect of social
media on both individuals and societies, and the psychoanalysis
of the personality of the users. One more thing I hope to write
about in the future is the basics that the producers of social
media follow to be able to gain such popularity. Moreover, I
hope to do another relative research about the possibility of
creating a new social media that can compete with the existing
ones like Facebook and Twitter.
