In 2017, the church has many great topics of discussion, especially on our social media accounts. In today’s culture, it is easy to share everything we think about. Even every small detail of our lives. What we do not realize about sharing our thoughts on social media is this; It is revealing to the world around us what we really think about. We are discussing, debating, and sharing about many things. It especially shows what we are busy doing and what we value in our lives the most. Most of those things, I suppose, are probably important. But if we compare those thoughts and ideas with the thoughts and purposes of Jesus, I’m sure we will come to a place of adjusting a few things. The most important thoughts we should have as Christians …show more content…
And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus ' feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
One distraction of the enemy in the last days is revealed to us in Daniel 7:25. Daniel is preparing us for the last days. It is so important for us to understand what Daniel was saying here. One of my instructors in Bible College said something very similar to what Daniel stated and I have never forgotten it: “True deception is to get you to think about what you ought not to be thinking about.” When we are focused and thinking about the wrong things, we do not get a clear picture of the truth. When a camera is out of focus, it does not get a clear image of the picture we are trying to take. So, the devil tries to get us to have a distorted image of Christ by keeping us out of focus. He tries to get us not to see Christ as He is. He does this by the art of distraction. Some call it “being busy”. Getting us off the proper focus is one weapon being used against us in these last days. We must keep our focus on Jesus, His plan, His
When analyzing the role of social media in American society, several questions come to mind. What is social media and are these social media and networking sites helpful to the people of America; can these sites be used to enhance or do they intrude in the relationships people have with others, and can they be integrated into their daily lives successfully. As the world becomes more and more technology friendly, the internet has transformed into a place that nearly everyone can go to get away. With the constant click of a mouse for some is all it takes to relieve the stress of their day.

In this modern age, the majority of society has adapted to social media and the newest technology to fit around our lives. Technology provides tools that are imperative to the making and the use of other tools. It is a tool in itself. Technology is changing rapidly; so rapidly, in fact, there can be cultural gaps between generations. The construction of social media has enabled access to innovative phenomenon, broken barriers, changed our perspectives on ideas, and has even opened doors to new opportunities.
Today, nearly 250 million children -about 40% of the world’s children, can’t read a single sentence. This is mainly due to poverty and the inability of some families to pay for their child’s education. Cynthia Changyit Levin an activist living in Saint Louis, Missouri is one example of someone who is determined to help solve this problem. She recently became an activist after giving up her job revolving around engineering. She felt empowered one night after thinking about all of the people around the world living in poverty.

In today’s day and age, social media is popular more than ever. Now, just by clicking the “tweet” button, you can expose yourself and what you put out there for anyone throughout the whole world to see. Twitter, Instagram, etc have taken over the world, with millions and millions of users that range from super young to super old. Personally, I have three different platforms of social media. These include twitter, instagram and snapchat. I am interested to evaluate how I use it versus how I consider myself to be in real life and on a day to day basis. I believe the way that I represent myself on social media has some similarities and differences between my actual self on a day to day basis.
Since this project began, I have focused on maintaining strong personal and strategic relationships. I am preparing for the large American Society of Health-System Pharmacists - (ASHP) mid-year meeting. This is the largest annual meeting for pharmacy students to network and learn about residency positions across the country. To prepare for this meeting I have updated my social media sites, I have revamped my curriculum vitae and resume, as well as reach out to mentors and preceptors for letters of recommendations. In addition to maintaining my current network, I am also anticipating making several new connections next month at the mid-year meeting.
Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from
Despite the fact that we’re already in the 21st century, society continues to show signs of progress and development strongly leaning towards the direction of advancement, constantly evolving. This pattern is no different from the world of advertising, as it has also evolved through the years and quite recently an unexpected technological innovation took the world by storm. It made such a tremendous impact that eventually led to the transformation of traditional marketing, and it’s no other than social media that we all learned to love.
Social media has gained immense popularity, following increased access to the internet and technology devices including smart phones. Social media is used to denote platforms in which people build and share social connections; thus enhancing information sharing and interaction. Major examples include Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest and Instagram. Through social media, people can connect, interact and exchange information such as pictures, videos and other digital media by registering as users in these platforms and updating information affecting their lives on their profiles. When social media applications came into existence, these were mostly used for interacting and sharing with friends, relations and new friends acquired through these platforms. Social media has however been constantly abused, as people turn it into a ground to vent, lie, insult, bully or threaten others. The social networks no longer serve their intended purpose in the society and users have taken advantage of the free space to say whatever they want with no regard to how it affects others. People have used such domains to brandish their selfish acts and gains.
Recently, people are now discussing how social media changes our life, whether it is good or bad. Some of them think that social media is a kind of fad because of its rapid development. Others think that it is really useful and makes our life easier than before.
At this very moment, there are thousands of people worldwide who are retweeting posts on Twitter, liking pictures on Instagram or posting a status on Facebook. Twitter, Instagram and Facebook are few of the many social media platforms that have become prevalent in our society. Because social media applications and websites allow users with easy access to communication with others around the world, individuals all across the globe are able to socially interact on a daily basis. Erving Goffman, Charles Horton Cooley and George Herbert Mead, three of many sociologists who viewed society through the interactionist perspective, would use these daily interactions to make generalizations about society as a whole. The paradigm of symbolic interactionism reaches conclusion about different groups in society, generally by observing everyday social interactions. Accordingly, interactionists would view social media as an aspect of society that consists of constant social interactions that continuously influences and affects individuals and the whole of society.
Social media has become prominent parts of life for many young people today. Most people engage with social media without stopping to think what the effects are on our lives, whether positive or negative. Are we as a society becoming more concerned with Facebook "friends" than we are with the people we interact with face-to-face in our daily lives? What will the longterm effects of today 's social media use be? There are many positive aspects, but there are equally as many dangers that come with the use of sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google +, Tumblr, Instagram, gaming sites, and blogs. Social media has both negative and positive effects on society, it is up to the user to decide what impact they want to make. In order to make the right choices, we must dig in and research this topic thoroughly.
Year after year, social media has grown to have a significant impact on society. Social media is a form of communication that impacts communities whether it be about crime, life, gossip or politics. Social media is used because it is the easiest way to spread the word to the rest of the world. Above all, media platforms seem to have a large impact on how communities as well as the world when a natural or human created disaster occurs . People tend to respond to these disasters through different discourses. Although social media has this impact, the outcome of how the situation is handled is never the same. It could
The project aim at teenagers, therefore sample group is between 13 to 19. I will set the sample sizes in 50 participants since it is easy to identity and more precision. If a sample sizes increase, it is very hard to estimate and become not accurate. Also, I’m worry about the extremes data can’t make a balance out, so the project prefers small sample sizes. It can take less effort to gain and maintain people, it is easy to produce significant results and comfortable to find a group of people. I will obtain samples from friends or friends’ sister and brother.
