Music with social message
While there are songs that are meaningless, such as most pop songs, there are songs that have been written through the years that express a deep meaning, meant to move us to action in some way.
The music, like any art form, is a cultural product. The purpose of this art is to provoke an aesthetic experience in the listener, and express feelings, circumstances, thoughts or ideas. The music is a stimulus that affects the individual's perceptual field, so the flow of sound can fulfill various functions (entertainment, communication, environment, etc.).
One of the obvious ones is 'Where is the Love' by Black Eyed Peas.
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids act like what they see in the cinema
These are lyrics taken from the recent Black Eyed Peas song, ‘Where is the love. They express a negative view of the media, blaming the media for the problems in today’s society.
This verse provides a very sweeping statement for people to agree with, in today’s society it is easier to blame the media for the problems of today, than to have to think about alternative reasons. Although the media may have some negative influences, it also provides a number of positive aspects, which often people do not acknowledge.
For many people, different forms of media are used to escape from the stresses of everyday life, programmes such as soaps can be watched without any thought being required. Media can often offer catharsis for those suffering from different illnesses, or bereavement.

blacberry vs i-phone
iPhone
The iPhone 4′s 1Ghz processor may pack a punch, but this doesn’t mean it runs faster than the BlackBerry Torch 9800′s. The latter may only pack in a 624MHz processor, but BlackBerry memory management is much better than the iPhone’s.
At some points, the iPhone struggles and without full fat multitasking, this is a little bit disappointing.
The BlackBerry Torch, however, steams along and doesn’t need an enhanced processor to power multitasking as the iPhone 4 does.
Although BlackBerry will be introducing new APIs to developer, including access to the HTML 5-powered WebKit browser API and carrier billing, applications still come secondary to the App Store’s offering. Sure, BlackBerry offers more CRM apps for business users, but for consumers, the iPhone easily conquers BlackBerry.
or Black, these are the typical discussions of technology lovers. In the case of smartphones, the two offer different services and you can choose the one that fits your lifestyle.

BlackBerry apps are also notably more expensive than iPhone applications, while there’s a lot less choice in App World. You may be able to buy BlackBerry apps from third parties unlike for the iPhone, but iPhone apps are much more inventive and cover a wider range compared to BlackBerry.
Kudos does have to go to Apple here – the company has finally managed to produce a phone that lasts all day. However, RIM has always produced handsets that offer the stamina of a horse, because of the company’s data management.
The iPhone may have a higher capacity battery (1420mAh in comparison to the Torch’s 1300mAh), but it won’t keep going for days on end like the BlackBerry will.

It is a place to communicate with friends and family, to share photographs or funny links you find on the Web, to play social games like Farmville or Mafia Wars, search for long-lost friends or even chat interactively with your buddies.
In short, it is your home on the web.
Facebook is a social network founded in February of 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg. Originally a social network for students of Harvard University, it became a hit on campus and expanded to other colleges. In 2005, Facebook opened itself to high schools, and in 2006, it was open to everyone. Since then, it has experienced tremendous growth, bypassing MySpace in terms of global popularity.
When users have finished reviewing their settings, a confirmation page will be displayed. Settings can still be adjusted whenever users want. As the site grew and as they rolled out new features, Facebook became less about colleges and more about sharing lots of content with different groups of people. So a little more than a year ago, they started working on a new privacy model to reflect how the site had evolved.
As News Feed became more central to your experience, they added privacy settings so you could control who could see each individual status update, photo album, video and everything else you share into the stream.
Many of today’s “Facebook generation” will already be very familiar with the above saying, whereby more and more of these young people (18-24 year-olds) refuse to
believe something they’re actually told face-to-face until they have it confirmed as ‘fact’ on Facebook.
For instance, a young man may tell his friends he’s dating a certain girl, she may
even confirm this to her girlfriends.
Yet, it will only become ‘set in stone’ if and when it appears on their Facebook sites.
What an incredible situation.
Also, it’s not unusual for a Facebook user to have a couple of thousand photos, dozens of videos and hundreds of friends.
Next time you have a real drama ‘though, try this simple exercise, Facebook these friends and see how many actual turn up for you in your hour of need.
The virtual has become, to many people, more trustworthy than the real.
I’m sure I’m not the only person to find this recent development
more than a little disturbing.
Yet, there are many good things to say about Facebook, and social networking
in general:
‘Positive Impact of FaceBook:
Social networking can enrich social lives for those separated from family and friends by long distances, bringing them together despite the physical separation.
This has recently come to light in the number of people in the Armed Forces using YouTube, FaceBook and Twitter to stay in touch.
