NOTES #3

Asilo, Manlapig and Rementilla(2010) said that teenagers like to use Social Networking Sites because of its features that allows them to share their photos and updated profiles with their friends. In addition it also allows them to keep track of each other and at the same time enjoy its additional features like Farmville and Allies and Empires in Facebook, one of the most popular Social Networking Sites. But align with these positive effects is the danger that it will bring to every users which is the danger of meeting someone you don't know personally and accepts his/her friend request just because you don't want to be called a snob and you also want to increase your number of friends not knowing that by just clicking that confirm button you are exposing your life to a stranger capable of doing anything bad to you or worst kill you by simply looking at your status that is updated every minute to the point that it almost contain every action you are  doing. Most recent example is Director Ricky Rivero being stabbed by someone whom he met online or your admirer whom you busted and can't accept it wants revenge he can easily execute his plans because he knows where to go and what to do , these real events only show the negative side of being so active in online communities.

NOTE #2

Asilo, Manlapig and Rementilla (2011) said that Facebook with its packaged features such as “e-mail, forums, instant messaging” and photo sharing changed how teenagers socialize with each other. This change made a turn around on how romantic relationships are being established among teens.  Constant communication in virtual worlds now defines how close two individuals are and creates certain standard on how a boyfriend and a girlfriend should behave in Facebook to justify that they are truly lovers. For example, in order for their relationship to be official they have to change their relationship status in Facebook or else this will be an argument between them because one party might doubt the seriousness of his/her partner or people around them might think that they are just joking. This is just an example of how Social networking sites change the perspective of the young society towards interactive relationships.

---FIRST NOTE---

Carl(2011) said that though we are in an era of modern technology with continuous and fast discovery of significant innovations which made our lives more convenient, we should not forget that machines are created to be controlled by humans and not the other way around. But if we are going to look around us we see lots of people being slaves of electronic devices and social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. A non-critical minded person could have thought that this is a positive effect but according to Turkle a science professor in MIT that  "we seem determined to give human qualities to objects and content to treat each other as things." An example is that we let our exams fail because we give more importance in updating our status in Facebook or Twitter rather than studying hard to keep our grades high to please our parents that are hoping for us to finish our studies on time. This is a sad fact which is caused by our misinterpretation of the essence of having right priorities.     

---PARAPHRASING----

1.) Freeman(2011) said that an "oscillation " "precedes" Time, this idea came from the flux of Ratzo V'Shov in Chassidism which states that the continuous interaction of two opposing forces which causes all events in the "cosmos" describes the continuous existence of Time. The idea is justified with few examples of some physical phenomenon such as when "hearts beat"and "lungs inhale and exhale", the case is also the same with the universe because it continuous to "oscillate " from existence and non-existence.

2.) Freeman(2011) explained why Ratzo V'Shov is necessary in "creation" because for something to exist, two different "processes" are needed. The creature should be a "distinct and detached" individual from it's creator though this needs the permission of the creator. This makes Ratzo V'Shov related to "creation" because it explains this kind of complexity. Furthermore, it also explains the relationship of the "creative force and the created being". This idea is also explained by Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Lubovitch that Time is a relationship between the cosmos and"space" and that it is a "process" of existence and non-existence.

Making a Precis: A comm 2 Assignment

1.) Freeman(2011) said that there exist a form of time before the existence of this physical world and this form of time also has its own precedent but is also unknown.

2.) Freeman(2011) stated that like  flux of ratzo v'shov in Chassidism Time continues to exist as long as there will be continous existence of opposing forces acting upon it.

************Plagiarism************

          According Etienne Gilson, a true scholar is essentially a man whose intellectual life is part and parcel of his moral life, in other words, a scholar is a man who has decided once and for all to carry all the requirements of his moral consciousness into his intellectual life. And this statement is clearly violated by the author of the Student revision 1, because he did not just copy and paste the ideas of his two sources but also he treated those ideas as if those ideas are originally his. He mixed up ideas from R.O. Dent and Michel Souris and did not mind to paraphrase even a single sentence. This is a very concrete example of Intellectual Dishonety, the act of claiming other's ideas without giving proper credits to the original author, while that of student Revision 2, the author recognized that the ideas of his essay really came from 2 sources, and what he did is compiling them and make the ideas comprehensive. 

          The difference between the two compositions is that the author of Student Revision 2 is humble enough to acknowledge his sources, and brave enough to admit that his essay is a comparison of the two authors, but the other author did otherwise. Although the author of student revision 2 mentioned the original owners of the ideas he compiled, he missed to put the proper citation at the end of his work. And this is very important because you're not just avoiding yourself from committing Plagiarism but you also give useful details to your readers if ever they'll think of expand their knowledge about a certain topic you used from another author. So proper citation is like hitting two birds in one stone, you were able to live with moral and intellectual honesty, plus you get to share others useful resources for their personal research in the future.

          Plagiarism can be committed intently or accidentally, and this is very common to us Filipinos even people from the judiciary sector is involved in a plagiarism case, so the best thing that we can do to avoid this not just for ourselves but for the entire Filipino community and to the world is to train our students even from grade school on how to cite properly their sources when making online researches or even when they do research using the library. In this way, we inculcate in them the idea of Intellectual Honesty at an early age, so that in the future when they do research papers or submit articles they will find it easy to avoid themselves from committing this shameful mistake. And this will only prove that the youths of today are still the hope of tomorrow in attaining  genuine change.
