Cultural event 3

The latest cultural event had to be my favorite of the year and really enjoyed it the most out of all the events I had to go to this semester. The event that I attented was the Christmas party that I went to yesterday at 11:00-12:30. The people with disabilites were great to be around and I'm glad that I got to interract with them. You could tell all the joy that we provide them with and the good experience we gave them and each person really enjoyed it. Though I'm not sure if they really know how greatly they impacted my life and to show myself that no matter what happens to still live life to the fullist regardless of what obstacles are in the way.

Cultural Event 2

The other thing I went to was a school concert which was this past Monday December,5 at 5:30. The concert was a student piano recidal where each student played a piece on the paino and even some sang with the piano. The thing that to me that really made it cultural was the classical music they played on the piano and how each student had the passion they did when they did each piece. Attending this event really gives me a real appreciation for what those kids and all the time they put it in to that music that they played. The concert was very fun to go to and glad I had opportunity to hear good classical music.

Cultural Event 1

I broadcast a lot of the basketball games for class and last thursday I did the junior varsity basketball men's game. The date was December,1 and the game started at 7:00. The thing with it being a jv game meant that there wasn't really that many fans at the game and the crowd was a lot more queit than the usual varsity basketball games. I couldn't reall say it was thaty similar events but the fact basketball games do draw the communities to the games and all kinds of people come to root the team on. The thing that I really do like broadcasting the game you can really see how everyone interacts with each other and how on one side its mainly students and on the side its mainly families and children. The students usually have their own little clicks sitting with each whether its each sport team sitting with each other or just students sitting with each other. Regardless though its a good experience to see how much different stuff that goes on during the games.

Social Media's Role is still unclear in Arab Spring

In the last article the author is talking about how whether the social media's role was very unclear on the matter they weren't real sure if social media had that much to do with happened in the arab spring. In the article there were plenty of panelist that disregarded what social media had to do with the arab spring saying that it was so disparate and confusing that it was nearly impossible to draw a meaningful conclusions from it.

where are all the panelist getting their information from?

4th question is... What is the people purpose in the arab spring?

Social Media and Arab Spring what have we learned?

In the second article the article is about how the effect that socials media had on the arab spring and what they learned or what can do about social media. There were plenty of high ranking officials who met at the institution of Peace to discuss how to use social media during a time of conflict. Then gave a list of what social media has done and one big thing that caught my eye was how social media is reshaping the human language. We'll never really know what to do with social media but just some way have to learn how to adapt with the new things that come with social media.

Are we better of with or without social media?

Arab spring was really Social Media

In the first article it talks about Arab spring and the social media that was involved. How messages were being sent across Africa and the Middle East and that there were high expectations for political uprising. Also how social networking help the talk of political change in Egypt. The political conversations were at an ultimate high when Egypt's leader resigned and this all due to social media. The thing is how rapidly people come together and have a social uprise when people can use social networking.

Who showed the majority of these people the networking sites?

The rule of 1221 Money+28

The rule of 1221 refers to money as something that you shouldn't take or have anyone else revive for the friars and that money should be looked at as simple dust. The constitution of South Sudan refers to money for the people as something normal that everyone can have and get more as a free system. The difference between the two is that the friars only use money for others to help out and the constitution is more as if you get money and do what you want with it. The systems are very different one is more devoted to helping others and the other is more of a every man for themselves concept.
