The document summarizes and evaluates an article by Matt Simon about how social media can "zombify" users due to its ability to trigger addiction. The author agrees with Simon's argument that social media converts users into zombies through eliciting addictive behavior. Simon draws a comparison between the addictive effects of social media and how parasites alter the behavior of their hosts by injecting neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. While social media has become important in modern life, the author concurs it can lead to addiction and zombification if used excessively due to the rush users get from notifications prompting them to open apps.

Mark Zuckerberg's vision for Facebook was to create a more open and transparent world by allowing people to freely share information and access information from others. However, some argue that increased openness and data collection could lead society towards increased surveillance if taken to an extreme. Facebook has faced security issues with hackers targeting users' data, so users must be aware of privacy settings to control what information is shared and with whom to avoid oversharing or embarrassment. While Facebook allows users to connect with others, it is ultimately a business that earns money through advertisements targeted using users' shared data and interests.

Pitfalls of Social Media
Some disadvantages of social networking are addiction, friendships, and how it can become a distraction. According to an article in the Huffington Post by Britney Fitzgerald, “forty-five percent of responders said they feel “worried or uncomfortable” when email and Facebook are inaccessible.” Now-a-days society has gotten so dependent to their social networking; they cannot even leave their house without taking their phones or laptops to school. People cannot stand to be without their phones without having anxiety, we need to establish a control over the technology. “It’s not being on social networks that makes people anxious. It’s being away from them.” We have grown into this new culture where we cannot even go to sleep without checking our phones, and what is the first thing we do when we wake up? Check our phone. In fact, in a recent study Mobile Mindset study by Lookout “54 percent admit to checking their phones while lying in bed.” The unfortunate price we pay for social networking is lack of sleep. A similar study from the University of Bergen found that “people with poor sleeping habits were most likely to be Facebook-obsessed.” It has become apparent that one has created this dependency on modern technology that we have added these aps such as Facebook and YouTube to our cell phones, since we cannot even wait to get home and check from our computers. We don’t even send invitations anymore; all we do is send a Facebook invite.
Another article in the Huffington Post, The Addiction and Cost of Social Media by Sam Fiaorella he states that “if you are not paying for the product, you are the product.” In this case social networking, the Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, they are all free however, you are wasting time, emotion and privacy. “According to Nielsen and NM Incite's The Social Media Report 2012, “consumers continue to spend more time on social networks than on any other type of Internet site.” “As of July 2012, the total time spent accessing and engaging in social media sites has increased 37 percent in the U.S., representing 121 billion minutes.”
Emotionally we put our lives out there on social networking. We are willing to share everything we do on a daily basis and post our feelings. We create an “online version of ourselves” in which we are able to let people see and know any “version” we allow ourselves to be. “A study by the University of Waterloo as reported in Psychological Science demonstrated that Facebook engagement can increase the likelihood of depression in some people.”
Privacy is often a forgotten factor in social networking; people seem to forget that whatever they post online can follow them throughout life. Some jobs even check your social sites to make sure you are right for the job. Social networks keep track what you are interested in, you may think its because they want to learn more about you however, “the more personal the information they can acquire the more they can .

The document discusses the anti-war movement in the United States during the Vietnam War. It notes that there was a large protest in New York City on April 15, 1967 that involved approximately 100,000 people. The anti-war movement gained significant momentum in the late 1960s, organizing numerous demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience to voice opposition to US involvement in the Vietnam War.

Holocaust research paper sample
The Holocaust was a genocide of approximately 6 million Jewish people in Europe by Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945. Adolf Hitler and Nazi propaganda promoted the racist ideology that Germans were superior to Jews, who they viewed as an inferior threat. Collective behavior theories help explain how individual German soldiers surrendered their thinking and conformed to the group psychology that guided their violent actions against Jews. Studies like Milgram's obedience to authority experiment and the impact of Edward Louis' propaganda findings demonstrate how Hitler was able to manipulate Germans into carrying out the genocide through obedience and by promoting the idea of German racial superiority.

As advocates for patients, nurses have an ethical duty to report any situation that could undermine a child's health or the role of the healthcare system.

Death penalty research paper sample

Overall, the document concludes that the death penalty worsens society by reinforcing anger and violence rather than understanding and love between people.

To kill a mockingbird essay questions
Three characters in To Kill a Mockingbird represent mockingbirds whose kindness is destroyed by evil:
1) Boo Radley, who is alienated and regarded as evil by his prejudiced neighbors despite being harmless and thoughtful.
2) Tom Robinson, who is wrongly accused of a crime and declared guilty due solely to his race, despite being innocent.

Recent trends show immigrants increasingly settling in new metropolitan and suburban areas. Immigration remains a complex issue with disagreements around how many and what types of immigrants should be allowed into the country.

It analyzes how each song approaches the theme of pain after a breakup differently through their use of rhetoric. "Let Her Go" uses more generalizable statements and metaphors to convey its message about not appreciating what you have until it's gone. "When I Was Your Man" takes a more personalized approach through specifics about the reasons for the breakup and expressing regret. Both songs effectively employ pathos, though "When I Was Your Man" relies on it more directly through a linear storyline. The analysis reveals how rhetoric enhances the meaning and characteristics conveyed by each song

Nature vs nurture essay sample
The document discusses the nature versus nurture debate around intelligence. It suggests that both genetic/inherent factors (nature) and environmental influences (nurture) contribute roughly equally to a person's intelligence. Factors like prenatal nutrition, socioeconomic status, education levels, and stress can influence cognitive development and IQ scores. Studies of identical twins raised separately provide evidence that genetics play a role, though the environment is also important as it can facilitate or inhibit reaching one's genetic potential. Overall, the document concludes that both nature and nurture should be considered when assessing and nurturing a person's intelligence.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

- 1. Surname 1 Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course: Date “Learn from These Bugs” The article by Matt Simon (2018) examines the implication of social media on human behaviour by examining various parasites and neurotransmitters. The main argument is that social media has the ability to zombify individuals due to its ability to trigger addiction. Simon relates such addictive behaviour to what happens when a parasite such as Jewel Wasp or tiny worm injects neurotransmitters to their pray or host hence making them defenceless. I agree with Simons argument that social media converts users into zombies because of the behaviour that it elicits. The author's argument is effective since it uses scientific evidence and factual information. For instance, the author states that “Scientist compare the affliction to drug or alcohol addiction,” (Simon). Evidently, social media addicts keep on scrolling and scrolling, which is a pervasive phenomenon. The dopamine secreted during social media use is similar to serotonin produced by parasites to help zombify the hosts. However, arguing that we should delete social media applications to avoid damaging our brains is not an effective solution. An individual can minimize social media use yet still benefit from connecting with friends and family. Evidently, social media has evolved to become an important factor in human life. However, I agree with Simon that it has led to addiction and, by extension, zombification of its users. Equating human beings social media use with the parasitic relationship between

Hence, I agree with Simons argument that social media converts users into zombies because of the addictive behaviour that it elicits.
