Reflections on Social Networks

A SOCIAL SITE is a site of internet where you can find a lot of things about nowadays.


In the SOCIAL NETWORKS we can find a lot of advantages like enteretaintment facilities, news, contact with old friends or making new, sharing images of special moments...All of them have risks we all could know.But do we know really who is behind of a profile of a "friend"?. Social sites can be used to expose our private lives, they can be used by criminals to release information about their victims in crimes, they can be addictive and devour lot of our time...

To prevent these things and to be safer we have to do these things:
-Only accept people you know, and make private your account.
-Don’t trust people you don’t know.
-When someone starts chatting you and if you don't know who he/she is ask the nearest people you know (parents, teachers, friends, family...).
-If someone is bothering you go directly to the authorities.

So the SOCIAL NETWORKS can be good and bad for our private life and health.

Apart from that in these last years they are used a lot for Cyberbullying the kids.
Cyberbullying is when a young girl or boy is threatened in the Social Networks. There are a lot of cases of cyberbulling in the Social Networks. A lot of kids get traumatized because of this people who hide behind the computer and spend a lot of time of their lives making other kids lives impossible.


This is all. I hope this article will help you to be more careful with the SOCIAL NETWORKS.

CULTURE

Culture can be defined in numerous ways.

Culture is defined as a social domain that emphasizes the practices, discourses, and material expressions, which, over time, express the continuities and discontinuities of social meaning of a life held in common.

The word Culture is used in a general sense as the evolved ability to categorize and represent experiences with symbols and to act imaginatively and creatively. This ability arose with the evolution of behavioral modernity in humans around 50,000 years ago.

In the humanities, one sense of culture, as an attribute of the individual, has been the degree to which they have cultivated a particular level of sophistication, in the arts, sciences, education, or manners.

When used as a count noun, "a culture" is the set of customs, traditions, and values of a society or community, such as an ethnic group or nation.

There are a lot of cultures.

For example India. Indian cultural history spans more than 4,500 years. During the Vedic period (c. 1700 – 500 BCE), the foundations of Hindu philosophy,mythology, theology and literature were laid, and many beliefs and practices which still exist today, such as dhárma, kárma, yóga, and mokṣa.

In Germany the country is particularly known for its traditional Oktoberfest celebrations in Munich, its carnival culture and globally influential Christmas customs known as Weihnachten. 3 October has been the national day of Germany since 1990, celebrated as the German Unity Day (Tag der Deutschen Einheit). The UNESCO inscribed 38 properties in Germany on the World Heritage List.

And more different cultures are around the world some of wich we know and others which we don't know.
