Danger of Social Media

Image
By

Nowadays, more and more people are using social media. It appears that they are one of the best things internet gave us. It has lots of advantages – you can quickly get in touch with your friends, you can talk with others, even from abroad, for free (What's up, Viber and other apps) etc. Is that so?


However, it turns out that even the most innocent social media, like inconspicious Facebook, might be demoralizing and dramatic.

Let's focus on 26 years old woman, Keiana H., who was so committed and even addicted to social media (sharing your life to other people who follow you) that she was transmitting her own...death. Suicidal death. Isn't that creepy?
The saddest is that nobody tried to help her. Despite many observers of woman's suicide, nobody called to her family or police or anything.

Facebook is a big place for hate and mockery. There are many stories when someone, especially teenager, commit a suicide because other kids are making fun of them. And not in this polite way. One of them was 18 years old girl, Brandy Vela. This poor young woman received messages from unknown people about her weight, her appearance. Her pictures were reworked to make her look like a pig. How evil is that?

The example is an interesting campaign made by Addict Aide, social foundation. They made a profile of Louise Delage – a young girl from Paris, who added lots of amazing pictures on her page. But... on every of them there was an alcohol. Sounds suspicious? Not for her fans – none of them paid attention to it.

The other important think to remember, when you use Internet, not only social media, is that you don't know who is sitting on the other side - especially when you chat with someone random (Omegle etc.). Teenagers sometimes forgot about that and, what is even worst, go to a meeting with totally unknown person. Do I really need to finish, what might happen then? This is a perfect opportunity for dangerous people like pedophiles, thieves, murderers or sociopaths. 

As we can see, social media have also a dark side. There are many, many stories similar to those above. Generally the victims of Internet are young, vigorous people. The question is – will it be better or worse?

Single-sex education

By
A little bit of history Single-sex education was traditional and dominating form of education till 19th century. Almost all schools and universities were single sex, which in almost all cases meant – men’s schools. This situation started to change because of two reasons: emancipation of women (fight for equality) and introduction of massive education. The first mixed-sex boarding school in UK was formed in 1818, it was Scottish Dollar Academy, and in 1878 the first university- University College London, allowed women  to enter on equal terms with men. What is interesting, the first Cambridge collage, which admit men and women was founded only on  1964. Pros and cons The topic of single-sex education is quite controversial. Like always there are pros and cons, some of them are quite irrational, other have a scientific background. The most popular arguments for single-sex education: 1. Boys and girls are learning in the different way, so they need differ...

Different Types of Schooling

By
Different Types of Schooling Good education starts with the type of schooling the child is exposed to and its quality . Also taken into account is the preference of the child's parents. Different parents look for different things in their child's education: some want socialization while others are looking for small class size.  Following is a brief description of the different types of schools on today's educational landscape.
