Social Nets. (networks)

These are Web applications that allow us to connect people with friends and even make new friends. They also allow users to share content, interact and create communities around similar interests. Examples about this social nets are: facebook,fotolog,myspace,twitter,tuenti,etc...


This are some of the most actuals social nets but they've already exist from 1997.








The advantages of this type of networks are that you can comunicate with others without spending money, in addition you can know new people,to share works, hobbies, opinions...


Also they can give you information about subjects very varied and I think, that in this type of networks, you can create your own personality and be another totally different person too.


Finally, I consider that you can be more sincere when being writing in a computer and you aren't seeing the face of the other person.




The disadvantages are that the adolescents (those who use this type of social networks more) happen most of the time in them, and they take off it to the study.


Another disadvantage is that sometimes the expressions are misinterpreted and isn't a good communication. I think that networks aren't controled because many young people, that can't be there, have one social net. Finally, I want to observe, that people sometimes, put too much information, for example, she raises private photos, and all this when you are older, at the time of choosing a work, influences negatively.




In my opinion, have a social net it's cool but you have to be careful.

Bullying

Now we start the school and I want to talk about one thing very important; BULLYING.



For a lot of people (children , young people,(girls and boys), etc..) starts a nightmare when they start the school...

Bullying is characterized by an individual behaving in a certain way to feel like superior in front the other person .

To intimidate, to force another person to do something it is the bullying.
The Intimidation others can be physical or verbal.

Girls use more verbal than pysique.
They tend to use the physical intimidation or the threats, without them his victims matter.
Normally, these cases are given between children from 10 to 16 years.

Sometimes bullies will pick on people bigger or smaller than their size,
weaker than they.
Many programs have been started to prevent bullying at schools with promotional speakers.


The effects of bullying can be serious and even fatal.
The Victims of bullying can suffer a lot of problems like : loneliness, depression, iety (for example).



I can't do bullying another person, because it seems to me horrible to ill-treat a person physical as psychologically, and I think that those that they do bullying have a very small heart .

U R B A N T R I B E S



Urban tribes are groups of people who have the same habits,do the same activities and for example go to similar places to be together because they go with the people that are similar to them. They normaly listen to the same music or they wear the same clothes.



there are a lot of diffrents kind of tribes, for example:


Emos:
Emo stands for emotional. Instead of an angry, hard-core way of expressing one-self, Emo has taken a new role in the twentieth century.
From music with strong emotion and feeling, unlike hard rock, this has emerged as an alternative way to let feelings be known.
Black clothes are teamed with bright colours. Emos will often be seen in clothing such as Punkyfish, Vans and Atticus Clothings (Blink 182's own clothing line). The term ‘emo’ is stereotyped with tight jeans on males and females alike, a long fringe to hide behind brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes.
Bands are mostly American and musically accomplished. It is part hardcore punk, part melodic indie. Favourite bands include Fall Out Boy, Alkaline Trio and Funeral For A Friend.






Also there is another tribe:
Grungers:
This is a Tribe whose ideology centres on Kurt Cobain. It is a label given by others to those who dislike conforming to major brand names or trends, have any of their own opinions, listen to music they want to listen to rather than what everyone tells them to.
Grungers will usually be seen in battered jeans, baggy jumpers, and sleeves pulled down with holes through which thumbs are poked. A grunger will wear clothes that are comfortable and do not pay much attention to appearance. Hair is usually bleached blonde and shoulder length, messy.
Skaters are very diffrent to grungers:
Skaters:
Skaters are one of the few tribes to be defined by something other than music. A resurgence of an 80’s urban tribe, they are a younger hybrid of the grunger and the metaller. A skater is usually under 20, lives outside of central urban areas, and is passionate about bands no-one else has heard of, wear big baggy shorts, chains and have piercings.
Music tastes include British hip hop/breakbeat like Roots Manuva, Infinite Livez, and Plump DJs. Tribe members also listen to indie, grunge and punk, electro, trance and metal.






this are trendies,they are very, very,very fashion:

Trendies:
For trendies, looking good is all that matters in life.
It is all about vintage for trendies. One-off pieces are key combined with accessories from Topshop, New Look, Primark and H&M. Fashion heroes are Gwen Stefani and Kate Moss. Men are often seen in denim jeans, loose, hanging shirts and styled hair. Women can be seen also in denim jeans and anything with a designer logo.
Likes stretch from better known acts such as The Kooks, Franz Ferdinand to pre-breakthrough acts like The Gossip and Datarock. Trendies are often seen reading Glamour or Vogue magazine to find out the latest fashion trends.



This are wiggers another tribe:
Wiggers:
A slang term referring to white people emulating urban African Americans and urban black British and Caribbean culture. A wigger tries to imitate black American hip-hop.
Members of this tribe will often be wearing a backwards cap, baggy tops - often basketball jerseys or the label Fubu, and lots of jewellery. Sacha Baron Cohen’s character Ali G can be strongly associated with making a mockery out of wiggers.
The wigger will often have tattoos, usually bearing the name of a dead rapper or the slogan of a rap group. The terms ‘whack’ and ‘for shizzle’ are commonly used. Music artists Eminem and Vanilla Ice have in the past been accused of being part of this tribe.

ISRAEL - GAZA CONFLICT


INTRODUCTION_

The conflict began on June 24, 2006, when in light of ongoing Qassam rocket attacks on Israeli cities, Israeli operatives seized suspected Hamas members Osama and Mustafa Muamar in the Gaza Strip. On June 25, a Hamas attack in Israeli checkpoint resulted in the deaths of two Israeli soldiers and the capture of Israeli Corporal Gilad Shalit. In turn, Israel launched Operation Summer Rains on June 28. Israel maintains that it mobilized thousands of troops in order to suppress Qassam rocket fire against its civilian population and to secure the release of Corporal Gilad Shalit. It is estimated that between 7,000 and 9,000 heavy Israeli artillery shells have been fired into Gaza since September 2005, killing 80 Palestinians in 6 months. On the Palestinian side, approximately 1,000 Qassam missiles are believed to have been fired into Israel. Israel has stated that it will withdraw from Gaza and end the operation as soon as Shalit is released. The Palestinians say the assault is aimed at toppling the democratically elected Hamas-led government and at destabilizing the Palestinian National Authority, citing the targeting of civilian infrastructure such as a power station and the captures of government and parliament members.



HISTORY_

The State of Israel was proclaimed on the 14th of May, 1948, in accordance with international legality and the partition plan of the UN (1947) dividing the Spanish protectorate in Palestine, Jordan and Israel today,, with 77% of the territory to the Arabs ( that included the current territories of Palestine) and 23% for Jews leaving Jerusalem International Zone. The Jews accepted, but not the Arabs.
The regular armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq invaded it, forcing Israel to defend their country. In what became known as the War of Independence of Israel. Israel not only won the war, but others extended their territory of 8,000 km2 to 21,000 km2 in a legitimate war of self-defense against the Arabs.



Barack Obama, who takes over as U.S. president from George W. Bush on January 20, broke his silence about the violence in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, calling the loss of civilian lives in Gaza and in Israel a "source of deep concern for me." Obama added he would adhere to his principle that only Bush should be the voice of U.S. foreign policy at this time but he would have plenty to say after his inauguration in two weeks.
