Florida is known for bringing many tourist from around the world to see what makes the state so interesting. Here is some background information about Florida’s history. In 1513, Florida was being settled by the spanish colonist, Ponce de Leon. He had just settled colonies in the southern regions of Florida and as history goes on the culture started to spread. Florida’s attractions, national wildlife parks, and its population are what get people’s attention to the state. Its white sandy beaches serve as a place for partying and for serenity. Florida is a place to get away from all negative and gives off a fun friendly atmosphere around the area. I believe that the increase in the state’s population, amazing animal life, and wonderful attractions are the three main reasons that will interest you to go visit Florida and experience it's fun and friendly atmosphere.

Growing up in the South, Florida always seemed to be the main attraction of the region. Being from Louisiana, I've traveled to the state on multiple occasions, whether it was for academics, sports, or vacations. Each time, I found myself becoming more and more enticed with Florida's attributes. I feel that a major attraction for me was some of the apparent similarities that Florida posses in comparison with my own home state. Great food, sporting traditions, and even the swampy landscapes all are rather prevalent parallels between the two. But, even with this, the State of Florida still separates itself, not only from Louisiana, but from the rest of the

Florida is one of the most surreal and beautiful places I have ever been to. When I first arrived in Florida the atmosphere around me changed immediately, but it was an amazing change. Once I exited my small car I had been crammed in for hours, I felt the fresh-beach air hit my face. Inside I felt like a totally different person than how I feel in Wisconsin. As we stepped up to my beach house door, I felt anxious to see what was

The often bizarre events that occur in the state and make national news also doesn’t play very well into one’s idea of the area. Indeed, it’s given birth to the internet meme known as “Florida Man.” Headlines range from something strange and hilarious like “Florida Man Puts Dragon Lizard in His Mouth, Smacks People with It” to depressing and sad like “Florida Man Shoots Good Samaritan Standing Up for Elderly Man.” For many people who have never personally visited the state, this can easily reinforce their beliefs that it’s filled strictly with deranged or low-class individuals and maybe moving here to start a new life isn’t really an idea that many should consider.

In this essay I'm going to argue whether I think social media is helpful or not. My personal opinion is that social media does help teenagers because it gets people to be themselves and not be afraid. Although people think that the internet makes teenagers be not social active I think that's wrong. I think that's wrong because most teenagers get naturally don't like interacting in real life but on the internet they may feel more safe on what to say or not say. Well to know more about how I feel about the internet keep reading.

If we examine Gladwell article alone, it seems that he exaggerates when referring to technology as being used so often. However, with Wortham’s help, we see now that technology being used daily for everything even for personal intimate things as relationships. Therefore, when Gladwell writes, “where activists were once defined by their causes, they are now defined by their tools” (401), he refers to the immense amount of technology usage, which makes even activists use technology as their tools. In addition, Wortham helps us grasp the amount of technology usage that makes activists use social media as their tools. Moreover, we can understand better Gladwell claim, “Twitter had scant internal significance in Moldova, a country where few Twitter accounts exists” (403). Gladwell’s point is that social media is not the reason for the revolution in Moldova where few there is few Twitter users. Therefore, while Wortham claims that people using social media daily, Gladwell states

There is much controversy over whether or not the risks of social media outweigh the benefits. While it can be used for numerous types of criminal activity, it can also be used to stop these crimes and other criminals. Just a few examples of occurrences that can negatively affect or even inflict physical harm on people through social media usage include things such as cyberbullying, sexual predation, robbery, etc. These things can permanently affect people’s lives or even, in some cases, kill them. Given these risks, there are also many strategies the police utilize to catch criminals, which would not be possible without social media. So, which is it? Does the amount of predators or cyberbullies online and on social media give ample enough reason to consider social media more help than harm, or are there enough good things that result from social media usage to consider social media a valuable asset? Social media can be used as a tool in law enforcement, but there are too many negative factors, like crime and cyberbullying, that were directly caused by social media to consider it much of an asset.

Florida has been in the news and analyzed over and over again after the debacle of the 2000 election results of Gore/Bush. Now that I am a new resident of the state I thought I would take a look at its history. Florida is an incredibly diverse state. Florida is now the third largest state in terms of population with just over 20 million residents. Florida is a popular state for people to relocate to, and two-thirds of Floridians were born somewhere else.

Social media is not a very safe thing to have. People should pay more attention to what they show on social media and act responsible when using a social media app. There are many books that talk about online safety along with some magazines and websites.

In the world we live in today, people have the opportunity to interact with one another due to the advancement in technology. For many years people relied on the traditional ways of communications, for example pay phones, send letters, a house phone, in person and they even used web cam’s. Presently, people rely on modern day methods of communication such as sending text messages, emails or even messaging via social. The development of the internet has made it so much easier for people to communicate that Social Media has become the place where people interact more than ever in a mere second.

The use of Social media has flourished to a great extent in today’s world. It has played a significant role by providing a platform for people to connect, communicate, share ideas and so on. Facebook, twitter, Instagram are some of the most common social networking sites that usually intrigue us. The day is not far where everyone in this world will have a Facebook account one day. We obviously know the benefits are derived from the use of social media, but have you ever thought that it can also lead you to a serious threat? I personally liked social networking until I found that it advocates laziness by wasting my precious time. Indeed, I was just thinking about this today and how awesome it was a decade ago when friends would call me just to say hi. Nowadays, it seems everything that is posted is like my junk mail full of advertisements and borrowed quotes. I came to realize that Social Media is actually not secure these days. You’ll be surprised how the evolution of technology has had an adverse effect on this growing society. So, is social media really a blessing?

Many parents place their children in sports due to the fact that they want them to interact. There are many causes to why they do this. In this generation, due to the fact that social media is super popular and at a very young age kids start to use it, it prevents them from having a very social outside life. You may think that social media is a way to socialize with other, but it is not the same as being outdoors or being around others. Children should be required to interact with people. Children who tend to start to play sports at a young age, are the ones who are more social and are very much out there with people, children who would rather sit at home and not interact with anyone are the ones who do not know how to communicate with others most of the time.

Social media, though relatively new, is a growing part of everyday life. The question one must ask is: what impact does this form of communication have on global politics?  Whereas social media is not always a reliable source, it serves to engage the global population in a casual manner, weaving politics into the fabric of everyday life. Social media influences not only the mundane, daily political ongoings from country to country but also political movements and revolutions. However, one must remain wary, as that this form of media is heavily biased, which can present issues for a less informed audience.

The discussion around the volume of email at work has been a growing topic among employees in recent years. In fact, in 2015, it is estimated that 2.6 billion people use email worldwide and by the end of 2019 it will increase to over 2.9 billion (Radicati, 2016). Employees complain they receive emails at all hours which resulted in workplace stress. The purpose of this essay is to determine if emails create less productivity, discuss social media as an alternative communication method, and show the benefits of social media in the recruiting process.
