Dancing

Dancing is the act of moving the body in rhythm, usually in time to music. It seems natural for people to express themselves through rhythmic movement. Young children jump up and down when they are excited and sway gently when content or at rest.

Dancing is both an art form and a form of recreation. Dance as art may tell a story, set a mood, or express an emotion. Some dances consist of symbolic gestures that tell a story completely through movement. As recreation, dancing has long been a people's source of fun, relaxation, and companionship. In earlier times, square dances gave families a welcome chance to socialize. Today dancing at a party or other gathering remains a popular way for people to enjoy themselves and to make new friends.

Dance does not often leave behind clearly identifiable physical artifacts that last over millennia, such as stone tools, hunting implements or cave paintings. It is not possible to say when dance became part of human culture. Dance has certainly been an important part of ceremony, rituals, celebrations and entertainment since before the birth of the earliest human civilizations. Archaeology delivers traces of dance from prehistoric times such as the 9,000 year old Bhimbetka rock shelters paintings in India and Egyptian tomb paintings depicting dancing figures from circa 3300 BC.

One of the earliest structured uses of dances may have been in the performance and in the telling of myths. It was also sometimes used to show feelings for one of the opposite gender. It is also linked to the origin of "love making." Before the production of written languages, dance was one of the methods of passing these stories down from generation to generation.

The signification of dance, is predicated of the affection of spiritual truth, and signifies its pleasantness or gladness. In ancient times gladness of heart was attested not only by musical instruments and songs, but also by dances. For joys of the heart, or interior joys, burst forth in the body into various acts, as into songs, and also into dances. And as in ancient times the gladnesses which excelled all others were spiritual gladnesses, that is, were from the affections of spiritual loves, which were those of good and truth, therefore also it was then allowed to add dances to the songs and musical harmonies, and in these ways also to testify joy. It is from this that dances are mentioned in the Word, and by them are signified gladnesses of the affections of truth or of faith, from good or charity, as in these passages.

Music with social message

We hear songs everyday, whether on the radio, television, or from music sources such as CD's, iPod, and other sources. Music touches us in a unique way. It is easy to get a song stuck in your head. While you may remember parts from a movie or a television show, you don't play the movie in it's entirety over and over in your head throughout the day. Music touches us.
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 4s 1Ghz processor may pack a punch, but this doesn’t mean it runs faster than the BlackBerry Torch 9800s. 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.

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.

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.

Facebook

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.
The popularity of social networking websites like Facebook is based on the phenomenon of social searching where people are keen to get information about a person, group or event.
Facebook.com boasts of more than 350 million users worldwide. With so many people interacting with one another online daily
.

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.
