If I had been God, I might have ordered the world differently. I think I would have provided my people with a tamper-free world, where life was perfect, never boring and happy. But here you and I sit, somewhere "in the meantime" that we call life. In 1623 the English poet John Donne referred to people as "rocks" and "islands". Donnie said," No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main, if a clod is washed away by the sea, Europe is the less." An increasingly connected world is creating new opportunities for people to be a part of the main, to share their lives, their work, their sorrows and their triumphs. "Digital citizens " has become a description of people who use technology frequently, who use technology for political information, and who use technology at work for economic …show more content…

In the digital age, social media platforms have become an integral part of our daily lives. Facebook, the world's largest social network, has been the subject of intense scrutiny over the years due to its handling of user data and privacy concerns. In a recent article published on Vox, titled "Facebook’s data collection tactics and algorithms threaten our privacy and democracy," author Rani Molla explores the ways in which Facebook's data collection and algorithmic systems pose a threat to both user privacy and democratic values. Through a combination of rhetorical strategies, Molla successfully argues that Facebook's actions represent a clear danger to both individuals and society as a whole.

News reports are based on current events; however, some news may be, “filtered through the ideological biases,” of the media owners, editors, and reporters themselves (Janda, Berry, Goldman, Schildkraut, and Manna, 2017,163). The question that should be considered when dealing with mass media is whether it’s true or not. Additionally, the problem that is also common with the use of the internet is the lack of network security. In today’s world, many people have the ability to hack into one’s computer obtaining their information, leading to identity theft. This issue must be addressed because it’s one of the components of the government’s

Deibert concludes his essay explaining how the internet has provided many benefits in today’s nation, but the internet needs stricter regulations for our own protection.
Textile designers are influenced by a huge variety of inspirations, which can be reflected in the fabric decoration and fabric colouration used in their designs. For example, Collette Dinnigan’s choices of fabric decoration and colouration techniques are persuaded by feminity, Indian culture, as well as classic designs such as Yves Saint Laurent and Christian Dior. This can be seen in the pastel colour palette, soft embroidered embellishments and textural manipulations of her wedding dresses and formal wear garments, which are often heavily beaded using Indian techniques, similar to Dior. Dinnigan’s designs feature printed fabrics motivated by floral motifs and feminine colours, which also influence her application of floral lace fabrics, embroidery
“The Internet, an immeasurably powerful computing system, is subsuming most of our other intellectual technologies. It’s becoming our map and our clock, our printing press and our typewriter, our calculator and our telephone, and our radio and TV” (Car). Still the internet isn’t becoming everything. The internet doesn’t give us access to print out our clothing or our food and beverages. We physically have to go out and get it ourselves, or order these online through the Internet.
Second Assignment – Annotated Bibliography and Thesis Statement by Cheryl Chi Yue Leung (214185045) York University NATS 1840 15th January 2016 Thesis: How material elements of the modern fast fashion practice reinforce the meanings of unethical production, and thus explain low prices come with low product quality and negative environmental and social impacts Annotated Bibliography 1) Anguelov, N.

More education should inform more people globally to understand to ongoing issues with the garment industry to evoke global change. Consumers should be informed as to why prices of apparel should not be at the inexpensive cost that it is now, because of the underlying reasons of how the company gets the clothing to that price. Inexpensive, fast fashion from stores like H&M, Forever 21, and Joe Fresh may seem most budget friendly but are not environmentally or sustainable globally. The demand for fast fashion should be brought to political action to help make a global change for the endangered workers of the garment industry. Overall, “The True Cost” does an outstanding job at pointing out the impacts of consumers and their fast fashion choices.
Fashion is my method of self-expression. The clothes we choose to wear gives us control over how others perceive us and affects how we feel about ourselves. From wearing black at the Golden Globes in support of the Time’s Up movement to the traditional Chinese Qi Pao, clothes can show solidarity without words or act as a way for us to connect to our cultural heritage. This is why fashion is important to me, because it allows me to tell a story about who I am and who I aspire to be. I have chosen to further my Management studies at the London College of Fashion because the MA Fashion Design Management covers themes essential for managing a successful fashion brand, which has always been a dream of mine.
“Media has become as necessary as food and clothing. Media is a mirror of the modern society; in fact, it is the media which forms our lives. The principle of the media is to let people know about modern, new relationships and to tell about the most modern discussion and fashion. The media still very backward behind other economic sectors because international communication is closely bound up with culture, language and tradition” (Karachi, M.(n.d). Media has many important types we already use in our daily life such as the internet and TV also radio and print media like newspaper and magazine.
