Methodology: In this research I will be making a survey, the participants on this survey are going to be people using these social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter it will be published on a Facebook page that I will be making for this research and I will be creating a twitter account specially for the research as well. Ethical Considerations: The participants will no be in any kind of danger, it will be a simple survey that they will take in the comfort of their own home, it will be a group of people who use these sites regularly, they will be aware that it’s for research purposes and it will be completely anonymous, it will be safe and easy for both parties. Limitations of the study: There is a lack of reliable data on this subject; there are no books that discuss this topic. I think that is because this is a new study matter and not many researchers have looked into it yet. 4 of 8 Expected results: I expect to find out if this phenomenon of social media is both good and bad and that it depends on the person using these sites. I also expect to find some data concerning this issue and if it is more good and beneficial to the English language or not. Conclusion: Nowadays English has changed so much so fast, some of it is good and positive change and some of it is not. The question now is how English is going to be different in 10 years? Will it be like how we
Carr first states that social media were conceived to “build a global community that will work for everyone” (Carr 1). When the fascinating internet world first created social media, the public that began to expect that there would be perfect harmony. It would keep them connected to others wherever they travel to. Inventors also came to believe extreme phenomenon would happen. They exclaimed their inventions would,
Our study will comply with standard ethical research procedures. We will obtain informed consent from our participants before they participate in our study. Our potential participants will be fully informed about what will happen during our study; in addition, they will understand the effects that our study will have on them and our research (Grinnell, Unrau, and Williams, 2014). We will not use bribery, deception, threats, or any other forms of coercion in order to gain participants for our study. The physical/emotional safety of the participants will come before the research; therefore, we will adhere to all ethical research procedures.
In my research, I do not think there will be major ethical concerns. However, I must make sure that the way I phrase the questions are fair and are not biased towards any race, gender, age or major. This will ensure that the procedure is fair. There will not be any harms because I am not conducting an experiment.
Are there flaws in the existing theory, research, policy and practice that you feel you can remedy through your proposed research? What are these flaws and how will your research resolve them?

The English language has changed drastically from the time it was first spoken to the present day due to vast technological advances. The invention of printing changed the way English was written and spoken. The language was also influenced by many other foreign languages. The English language can be described as a mash-up of many other languages mixed together.
This statement is often used by the prescriptivists, those who supports the rules that defines how english is supposed to be spoken according to some authority, however, language is endlessly changing. The English we all know today has changed from the Old english, with some rules disappearing, like splitting the infinitives that doesn't exist anymore, and English is still changing with the new generations that speak it. For example, more often today, we can hear that the "-s" coming at the end of the verb when it's conjugating at the simple present for the third person, is sometimes disappearing in some songs. Consequently, it is impossible to stop the language to change, however, it is not a bad
In this particular stage of collecting the data, one has to cognizant of the participants and the method of selection. The best method would be to conduct workshops or health fairs and then ask individuals to participate in the study. It could be that the individuals who volunteer would be glad to share the information. At times, it is best to approach people in the area when they show interest. Since this is a health issue and the participants might have the similar interest in attending the same events. There would be surveys provided to ask these individuals to
The English language is no different than it was a century ago; however, it has been culturally changing over the past few decades. It is common knowledge to humans that each ethnicity has their own formal language they speak and that they perceive various styles of language in different manners. Language style is the choice of words used by a specific group of people when they speak. Although we have the ability to speak to everyone in the same proper way, naturally we, including myself, tend to change our speech depending on where we are, who we are associated with, and the situation we are encountered in.
In order to provide respect for potential and enrolled subjects through proper confidentiality, I will make sure to respect the privacy of the human subjects and will keep their private information confidential. Using the same process as the informed consent, I will do the interviews and questionnaires in a private place. The names of participants will never be used, and an identification number will be used for each participant to identify them. Some questionnaires will be done on paper while others, as well as the interviews, will be completed using a computer to store the responses. All of this information will be kept confidential, and only I will have access to it. I will provide a summary of the results from my practicum experience to the three clinics where I rotated and did my research project. These results will be available for the participants to have access to what was learned from the research.
When conducting the interviews/surveys there will be an option for people to make it anonymous, they do not need to put their name at all if they do not want to. People will be 100% consensual to this survey and do not have to participate if they do not wish to. These results will not be published to anything and the sole purpose will be for research into this folio.
The social media is one of the most common ways of communication and pretty much of knowing anything and everything around the world these days, and it is growing very rapidly. It changes and affects each person in a different way, or ways. Some may argue that social media has a bad influence on children and young adults, and that it negatively effects their brains, character, or personalities, while most people see that the social media has a more positive effect on them than a negative one. Moreover, social media has helped many people around the world to connect, or re-connect, with each other, easily. Social media is basically the new way of keeping in touch with everything and everyone, and of even strengthening bonds between each
Today the english language is one of the most well known, and one of the most oftenly used languages in the world we live in. Through time the english language has greatly evolved on its journey across the world. Since the beginning of the english language’s history it has had additions to the alphabet, and also some parts of it has been taken away. Another major change would be the dialect of the language has changed in some ways. Although you can still can somewhat get a hint of what is being said in old english, it still a big jump to the way we pronounce it around the world today.
In todays world, English and the use of English is rapidly changing. It’s slowly becoming a more universal language due to the diversity of people in many different countries. Having a shared language would ensure all American citizens can communicate with one another and prevent groups from becoming isolated and separated from one another. With the help of two essays “The New Technologies in the World” written by Dennis Baron and “So Here’s What’s Happening to English” written by Jack Rosenthal, you’ll soon then understand how English is changing right beneath your feet. English should be the medium of instruction at universities and everyone should learn English in the United States for the following three reasons:
Ideally, my study would have 150 adolescent, middle school and high school participants. The participants would be put into three groups of 50 participants each (25 males and females). The first group will consist of early adolescent’s ages 13-14 years, the second group will be middle adolescent’s ages 15-16 years and the third group will be late adolescent’s ages 17-19 years. The ethnicity for this study does not matter. The matter of recruiting the participants will be by posting and passing out flyers which gives information on the study, the name of the study, who to contact if they would like to participate, and what they would benefit upon participating in the study. The adolescents who choose to participate would receive
