Reflection 2

     This class took me to another level of writing paragraphs and essays, i learnt so much about how to summarise graphs. Writing essays need more references and needs more time to write them on your own way. My essay about twitter is the topic where i did study about in every part which made me look like a researcher since i had to uncopy from the web yet to reflect everything i knew about the topic, this increased my abilities in writing essays. 

Essay 2 "Products"

Productions.

     Products and upgrades only makes us want more stuff and purchase more so we don’t get left out in the old school bubble and be called old fashioned. Yet not only that but you also want to pleasure yourself based on the surrounded environment.

     Trashing the planet leads to trashing ourselves because of how we are getting obsessed on those products which doesn’t even makes us happy for a month at least without something new comes to the market then you shop and dump what you think you want but not need. That’s Being selfish to your own environment and wasting it for the companies whom are polluting the earth for money and self benefits with less cost loss and more profits at the expense of the people Which gain the profits based on their unknowing clearing the point of Annie “If you don’t own or buy a lot of stuff, you don’t have a value.”, (Leonard, A.2007). Extraction cause illness to the earth wherever it is happening because we all live on the same ground, companies may not care but it’s all about their own benefits, when they seek resources to make un-recycling products.

     Products are made every day in millions for the people and the financial profits, New ideas every minute, new styles and new types as well. Not only loss for our pockets but also having much stuff to pollute the earth. You never thought of how it could harm the planet till you read about it and what they do with your old products so you realize the mess in this producing system. Companies have the power and the money so to their selves making new unrepaired products is not a problem yet people will still buy them without second thoughts, don’t expect them to care about the planet it’s not about the company because they only work for their salary, the head of this is just thinking of how to get he’s empire bigger and wider. And that’s how the human brain works sadly. So companies just show us that they care “don’t say you’re authentic unless you really are authentic.” (Pine, J.2004).

     Consuming those products whether they are cheap or expensive without taking a minute to think about how it did cost this much even if it’s a cheap product and getting amazed of how people get hired for such stuff that barely costs itself. Expensive stuff actually costs more than it actually worth yet people buy both products without thinking about the actual cost or if it’s even reasonable.

Selling and making new products never was a loss because of how consumers still find it affordable and still buy them. Consumers will always buy and companies will still make new uncompleted products so consumers will still consume for new and more, which makes you end up with a lot of not working trash.

     After leading to satisfying yourself and satisfying the companies and the economy comes the part where they get rid of those products after it led to it purpose which only leads to harm the planet that gets worse every second because of what humans want, mother nature is dying because of those needs, and just a low amount of people are aware or care because it shows clearly. Toxics that were made in the products gets even more toxic after disposing it, not all parts of the product can be gone or recycled the other are poisoning the water, air, and ground. We have one planet for generations yet to come to live on this planet, what kind of people we would be if we won’t make a better place or just keep it as it was for our kids in the future. It’s an exciting story to be told in the future if all what we know have changed for good and life how we know it get to be a life we used to live due to lack of interest of of what god gave us.

     Here in the UAE consumption is very trader and the consumers are everywhere in the UAE, people come from every part of the world to come to the UAE to consume which makes the consumption a big number that is getting increased yearly in big steps, helping them the economy as their right hand and pushing them to consume products and buy everything without any second thoughts crossing their minds, which I’ll add “Mainly due to inflation, we expect that spends on basic commodities and living essentials will increase.” (Gupta A.2013). The UAE actually helps people to find what they need cause of how the UAE and their cities became the direction point of tourists and the rich mainly, and all of that to support the growth and wealth of the nation which made it one of the leading countries in the region.

     The idea of this system starting with extraction, production, distribution, consumption, and finally disposal, does look quiet fine at the beginning but once you dig deeper things reveals itself with time, not much people would think about this leaving it a problem to someone else to solve, it starts with every individual by himself to people around him to the society he lives in and that’s how he reflexes the idea to the world. At the end the planet is ours to take care of and not our governments because the people are the change.

Essay 1 "Twitter"

Twitter Inc.

Twitter started as a success since the beginning, Next to the other Social Network Facebook, which both lead the Internet in their own kind of way. As it first Launched on July 15 2006 by the American Businessman Jack Dorsey, it became famous with a blink of an eye, The number of the Internet users started doubling every month in big numbers, which also Celebrities helped it to be more Trending by the Public until this very day. Millions of people use Twitter in Daily basis and keep other people and friends updated. He also said “Everything we do is about getting people to be more open, more creative, more courageous.”,Dorsey,J.(2010).

Twitter has many benefits that people realized, like business, politicians, news, celebrities, sports, and much more. Even presidents ‘Tweet’ about their lives which let followers get information from without relying on the media specially President Obama and the white house, So clearly Twitter is a reliable source to get  updated news from the people themselves without any extras. Big Business companies Like Apple, Microsoft, and Sony also use Twitter for informing followers about their business line and products as soon as its ready, Not only that but also giving feedback to their consumers thru twitter like when Apple started launching the new iphone5 which made Apple users to wait at the store door waiting for it to open. When it comes to sport news fans tend to go see their clubs tweets or the player’s tweets for information and updates worldwide to get the real news. Political figures have learned about how to get the maximized benefits from the famous site, a new easy way to announce policies, events, votes, campaigns and issue of the day each day. News sites such as FOX, BBC, and NBS, reach twitter like everyone else to provide the news directly from the unfold event itself which is more likely for the public. Involving the Security and privacy policy, twitter by its nature is largely self policing and with that comes the danger of revealing your information and pictures to the world which could invade the individual’s privacy, So anyone can see your tweets and pictures attached unless it’s a private account that you manage to choose who can see you information by accepting or declining your followers requests. Getting famous thru the site is an option yet people will always criticise you and lead likeness or hatred in followers. Twitter is so fast and the news gets to billions of the public in the world in matter of minutes and also easy to publish stuff without complex. Twitter means to stay in contact directly with anyone worldwide no matter who he is, whether it’s a politician, celebrity, or an athlete.

Whatever you want to know about them is there on their profile. In another way twitter became a problem to some people regarding their jobs and life. This is an example of how twitter affects social issues. Twitter is growing extraordinarily rapid and can also be the top social network in the coming years, with few tricks it can get bigger and greater; this is a respond to users who left twitter in the first couple of weeks due to misunderstanding the use of Twitter Technology.

Twitter changed the way of updating your information around the world, whether it’s about us or other people. Twitter became phenomenon worldwide in few years and has big ambitious. And all of the issues will be a challenge to twitter as it becomes popular within days.

Reflection.

     Learning about summaries in this class helped me know more about them and practicing those stuff made me more capable of writing a summary about any topic in less words. Making the bibliography is another thing i learnt in the class, and also knowing the resources. Studying Quoting was really useful and helpful to all summaries and essays. All of the above helped me right my summaries and essays more professionally.

Houbara

A complex in morocco that is fully costed by AD government is taking care of those fur balls, though this kind is endangered due to hunters and must not be mistreated because "numbers have dwindled dramatically in only few decades" Todorova, V. (2011). The facility is planning for future to increase the yearly amount, by starting early before the egg cracks, like checking sperm samples for better genes. Some houbara are kept for breeding while the other part is released to the wild after nine months to keep the wild behaviour.
About 65 per cent of them survives the other part gets haunted.
Living houbara nests is getting higher every year in the wild which proves that the programme is succeeding at its best.

One of the New features is for the robots to be aware of how to hand-on objects. Companies are expecting robots to be used in the market often in few years, they're useful yet not to relay on.
