First draft "Social media has too much power"

-
      Social media like; Internet and television influence to people’s behavior, ideology, culture and politics. It is because nowadays, they have many spectators, large part of the population has a TV, computer or smartphone in their house, which makes it easy to create a trend in the society. Some people say that they had not been influenced by social media. Some people say that they have changed their opinion once or twice because of the social media. Internet and television should be limited because the society has to be critical themselves and not be influenced by status quo, to think and to do what they want. Social media want to turn into a new hegemony for this generation.
     Firstly, everyone should be a critical thinker which means that you are able to analyze and evaluate of an issue in order to form a judgement. Why? Because your opinion has an influent and it can be important, as for you as for those around you.
     Internet, television, smartphones had been increasing as a technology that is easy to get, until the point that almost every single person in the world has one or, has access to them. According to a study carried out in 2013 by Tom Butts, 55% of the world's households have digital television. Some people say that they do not believe at all in what they see on Internet or television, it is because most of the cases what they transmit is controlled and manipulated by people or private companies that only want their own benefit. Worst of all, people who do not have a critical mind will believe it. Then, it is the easy way to influence and control the behavior of people, better call a hegemony.

    Dear student,
    I strongly recommend you to re-write an introduction with a clear thesis statement. So far, I see certain terms initially included in that paragraph with some of the reasons why you believe "social media" has influenced the way people think, do, and act. A stronger idea should lead your paper.

    In addition to this, the second paragraph starts with an idea which is different from what you state in your introduction. Keeping a coherent order in your paper is always necessary. It is also worth mentioning that the arguments you display throughout your essay need to have supporting sources of information. You are making reference to a study in this paragraph, but it has not been appropriately cited. Check out the following links for you to get further info on how to use APA in your paper.

    Last but not least, this two-paragraph version of your paper does not represent a well-written first draft. Please, take more time to nurture it and work hard to write it accordingly.

    Best regards,
    Jhon Losada

"The difference between humans and chimpanzees is not morally arbitrary. We judge other humans according to moral standards. We do not judge non-humans, including apes, according to moral standards. One could not trust an ape around children, or even adults. That's why they are kept in cages. Chimps may have 97% of the same DNA as humans, but we do not expect them to follow moral rules. Morality is what really differentiates humans from all other animals. We lock up people who refuse to be moral, we call them psychopaths. Whether or not chimps can use sign language to communicate, they have no sense of moral obligation. Adult chimps are far stronger than adult humans and fully capable of dismembering a human with their bare hands. The difference between moral and amoral is not arbitrary, it is a fundamental distinction that characterizes humans. Evolutionary biology may suggest that the evolution of species is gradual and not discrete, but there is no logical rea...

Henry Giroux: Where is the Outrage? Comment

-
Firstly Henry Giroux talks about the importance of students/learners in the universities, they have to take a critical position towards the university counts in a democracy. It is because largest corporate and market driven force to think in a different way, They try to become   you in a passive person in front of educational policy, in order to take control of the institutions. As a result, democratic institutions and public schooling are being downsized, if not altogether disappearing.   This is a big problem because this market had been increasing during the years, it had been getting power.  According to Giroux (2013) “we should develop educational approaches that reject a collapse of the distinction between market liberties and civil liberties.” Then, teachers should be able to develop a critical pedagogy that can give solution to the traditional pedagogies, such as: neoliberalism and anti-democratic traditions. Pedagogy can be developed in different way; i...
