Why Do Horses Get Eye Infections?

Our lives on facebook, facebook

In Italia facebook è stato finora più discusso come fenomeno che analizzato come media a se stante.

E in effetti ancora poco si conosce dei meccanismi che ingenera un sito web che tocca la vita di oltre mezzo miliardo di individui nel mondo. E pochi hanno provato a rispondere alla domanda centrale: come cambia la percezione che abbiamo di noi stessi, e il sistema di valori, di priorità di canoni che applichiamo agli altri a seguito dell'ingresso di facebook nelle nostre vite?

A fine 2009 è stata pubblicata una ricerca the journal CyberPsychology & Behaviour "who tried to understand the mechanisms that encourage students to join groups on Facebook. The research, conducted on 1,715 students at two Texas universities, has revealed four basic needs: social, entertainment, verification of status information.

As could imagine, those who search information on Facebook is ready to get involved in social initiatives and policies. Among other things, has also noted a significant correlation between civic engagement and high levels of satisfaction with themselves and trust others. The other major group of people seeking recreation, involvement in normal and reassuring, such as hobbies and interests not linked to social issues. The study notes that the R-squared of the research are quite low, other variables should be assumed when explanations more convincing, yet the two groups stand out clearly: the classic conflict information your leisure, however, also characterizes the mainstream media. So business as usual?

If we focus on users unless directed to information and thus to a social engagement, the answer is no.

If television offers aspirational models that the viewer can only accept or reject, facebook promotes both its users voyeurism and self-reference leads to see themselves as "little celebrity" in my friends are waiting anxiously status updates, to believe that they live in a "big brother" digital where he performs the self, made up of notes, photos, games, jokes, waiting for " likes "their friends-fans.

In an old post I mentioned "the anxiety of self-narration of our time" but today we must ask whether this anxiety is created by social networks or be vented into them.

am not the first (reference to Andrew Keen and his "The Cult of the Amateur ") to treat digital narcissism. But I will not passively describe a phenomenon, so begin to understand how it affects ourselves in everyday life. In social media very often there is a conversation in which the center is not, but the discovery of self-assertion. The same chat services, despite the infinite number of emoticons are now available, offering a simplified level of dialogue and shallow. If the ideology of television makes you feel void all those who are outside the screen, the ideology of social media deceives many to regain a central place in society just because his monologue is interspersed with some "like" or because it is updated on the status irrelevant repetitive and the "friends".

Today show chat on the self, which mirrors the need for reassurance about their existence, has become almost a collective need, a way of being in society that do not yet understand well the consequences but in communication as policy must take into account.

microassay in our lives: Alfonso Signorini, mystagogue of Berlusconi

Berlusconi's political program for the next election, at least one intended for general public television, the poor classes not reflective backbone of Berlusconi, has already been written and told him to interview with Alfonso Signorini Ruby in the last episode of his program kalispera.

Hunting of the lies and the reluctance of the story of Signorini-Ruby would be comforting ease but also simplistic and misleading. Who thinks he can dismiss the interview by opposing the facts that emerge from the investigation did not understand that at the heart of it is not factual truth or that the case may be.

Others saw the interview a sanctification of the Moroccan, a Karima from Ruby, from falsehood to truth, from perdition to redemption, but the narrative model (Signorini is a philologist by training) is required to offer the viewer a clue known and immediate, almost fairy-tale within which engage the core semantic and cognitive capable of activating the viewer-voter membership, sharing, support, ID. The interview

-story has a circular pattern, typical of novels of initiation such as The Golden Ass of Apuleius, in which the protagonist meets God after many vicissitudes, and is finally able to live a full and authentic. The story of Ruby, the thief, the Cubist, the Rubby-bitch named by her friends, it opens and closes with the family. Beginning a family that does not understand it, eventually a future family that she wants to create with her boyfriend instead understand it. At first a foreign family, other than our own culture and religion, to end a marriage that requires Catholic as the interviewee says. This extraordinary reversal is one of the many small masterpieces of manipulation implementing Signorini in the story. But these are only points of departure and arrival of the story.

[I used and I quote the three videos available on YouTube uploaded by you freecar13 ]

The starting point are the dreams and desires that Ruby wants to make [min. 4.00, first part] A girl like many others this is an ambitious and moves away from the house (the removal, the primary function of the scheme of Morphology of the Folktale by Vladimir Propp), which is seen as a rebel [min. 5.45, first part] and portajella [Min. 7.10, first part]. The antagonist, or "Padre Padrone" [min. 3.10, second part] to prevent it from going to school and to convert to Catholicism, [min. 13:40, first appears] (the ban, according to Propp's function schema).

But you have breached this prohibition (third function of Propp) and then moved to Milan, where he will find salvation (fifteenth Propp's narrative function), but first must pass a series of tests will work as a waitress (reference to Cinderella) will be almost close to prostitution but will find a young boy who refuses to have sex with her pay, but giving € 1000 (what Propp calls his scheme in the Hero's Aide) but then a girl [min.12.45, Part II] (the donor, according to Propp), just on a particular day, Valentine's Day, when our heroine had just been left by her boyfriend, the door in a beautiful building and submit to 'be saving, which is called Isis but more simply Silvio, who graciously welcomes heroin [min. 0.22, third party]. Encounter with Silvio's life is redeemed and Ruby also comes with a boyfriend who think of marriage and children, giving up dreams of show business that have brought many problems.

Described narratological schema, let's find the constellation of values \u200b\u200band principles reflected from the story and make it a real high mass of Berlusconi.

all starts again from the dreams and desires of Ruby, similar to those of many other people. But ordinary people like Ruby to realize their dreams often end up getting into trouble. Only meeting SILVIO ensures the realization of dreams. Silvio is not only the man of dreams is the man who can realize their dreams, change your life. Yet in Italy is so envious, "says Ruby [min.13, first part], and the message implied is that many Italians are brainwashed by the propaganda of the envious. Ruby wants to go to school, which Silvio has recently reformed, and attempts to study the catechism [min. 13.40. Part] the catholic church for moderates like SILVIO defend.

Ruby dreamed of doing CARABINIERE [min. 05:10, second part], so fascinated by the split view in the show, great stands of national order and security. (While the investigation was conducted, the police).

The tirade against the racism that makes Ruby [min. 10.30, second part] points rather to reassure the electorate reactionary television that Silvio PROSTITUTES NOT ATTEND, even more dark-skinned.

Ruby PUTS IN ISSUE THE SERIOUS 'AND THE TRUTH' of PM and journalists [min. 04.00, the third party], accusing them of personal violence [min. 4.50, third party] and scrub PEOPLE [min. 7:10, Part III] but when Silvio was the only one not Touch [min. 08.30, the third party].

These thematic groups are many of those on which Berlusconi will face the election campaign. The interview has reorganized them into a story as soteriological identification with the leader is not only based on a shared narrative of a biography copy (not in moral terms, but in terms of realization of frustrated desires) but also on a set of cognitive nuclei, which guide and give meaning to the lives of individuals-voters.

The postmodern leader is also a leader who is given a glimpse of life, stronger, deeper, more that makes sense. A transcendent leader where there is a mystical understanding of how to overcome contingencies alogical

Alfonso Signorini has devised a masterpiece of television liturgy: the head comes out reconfirmed in its purity, goodness and healing power.

But the means to expose this and other mystical and mystifying operations are within the reach of many scholars. For me it's an intellectual commitment, and also a moral obligation to Italy.

How To Do Pinky Make Up

... Do not You Understand i love you? The dilemma

Christmas With great spirit of sacrifice thousands of expatriate south to the north face route to the city of origin. Clothing plywood knotted so that they can strip a piece of every 150 kilometers, are poured on the sidewalk running behind the bus destination railway station. If you have luggage weighed down by the gifts, all things design that are not found in the south. The keyboard of emoticons, the Moleskine door iPad, the multiple usb-shaped chocolate bar and the mouse studded with rhinestones. In the north we will be back filled with smoked buffalo milk cheese, 'nduja and almond paste.

imbufaliti They move, giving pushing, and begin the hunt seat dragging bags and children possessed a path paved with obstacles and old trolley. Fast trains are filled with phone calls and started to warn that house has gone up and then it came about that you started, which was passed Bologna, Florence ... then someone tries unsuccessfully to talk to the gallery sections: it is a racket of " Hello? Hello? "in all the dialects of Italy. In air travel is much quieter, but in the quiet you can distinguish the voice of one, two lines later, that for some inexplicable reason feel the need to list all flight accidents in recent years. If we survive we will have to deal with the baggage claim and then una serie di trasbordi da un bus ad alcuni treni, fino a casa. Una fatica immane considerando soprattutto che non sai mai se e quando arriverai! Eppure ci avevano promesso mini-capsule volanti, porte spazio-temporali, se non addirittura città trasportabili. Invece siamo ancora qui a dannarci l'anima bloccati negli ingorghi, asfissiati nelle metropolitane, terrorizzati dalla neve e dalle nubi di cenere.

Io sono arrivata al punto da invidiare Nikki di Misfits per il suo potere di teletrasporto. Spero sempre che grandini...sai mai. Potrei alzarmi all'ultimo minuto per andare in ufficio e una volta finito essere già al tavolino del bar per il mio aperitivo, quindi direttamente in camera pronta per andare a dormire. In un lampo andrei a casa degli amici sparsi in tutta Italia, visiterei quasi ogni angolo del mondo. Potrei comprare il sushi a Tokyo e mangiarlo seduta su una panchina di Venezia e ogni tanto teletrasportarmi a casaccio per il piacere dell'avventura! Sarebbe così bello che mi pare impossibile che nessuno ci abbia ancora pensato!

Più ci rifletto e più mi convinco dell'esistenza di una lobby di potenti che usa il teletrasporto, ma noi altri non ne siamo al corrente! Se solo sapessi volare a iper velocità li raggiungerei e con la super-forza li sconfiggerei tutti! Regalerei il teletrasporto al mondo intero e mi eleggerebbero Presidente del mondo. Farebbe comodo anche il dono dell'ubiquità, della sazietà, della tonicità muscolare eterna..

not the technology trends or percentages of certain distributions idea that fascinates me most of 2010 report on Technorati blogofera . I refer to the link for anyone who wants to deepen the numbers and graphs and tables of stuff on their blog. I prefer to take some data in the evidence of another model of relations and the economy emerging from the world of blogs.

64% of Americans said bloggers do it for fun as opposed to only 21% of those who seek a return. 74% look at writing a blog of personal satisfaction and three-quarters of all bloggers before any economic consideration just want to get in touch with people who have the same ideas through the expression of its own. Also look for 74% reciprocity, developing contacts and leaving comments on other blogs. I see

develop online gift economy drawn up by those who seek to ensure the reader's attention but first seek an enrichment interior made for research, knowledge, new relationships, dialogue.

This is something that had never happened on this scale ever in the history of humanity and especially between strangers who do not belong the same tribe or nation.

This phenomenon, which may seem marginal to those who see the economy only as the sum of economic transactions, has already created a few years in the largest mass ever existed for free content (blogs, of course, but also video, images, and so on), and largest encyclopedia of mankind (Wikipedia), simply unthinkable without the generosity of the web.

This gift economy produces wealth, a wealth of knowledge and made reports that in a few years will be counted in the gross domestic product of most developed nations, which will be increasingly based on the quality of the people. It

is believed that the "new" economy was basically an economy made by Information & Communication Technology fast: illusion gone disastrously and the impoverishment of many.

The new economy will be (maybe) an economy that is already here and elsewhere, and especially on the web, an economy that go beyond the misery of monetization for gifts without advancing toward self-interest, relationships without any ulterior motives, dialogue without pretense.
