Natural Hair Bantu Knot Out Pt.2 The Take Down - Video
Good Morning, and thank you for welcoming me. To begin the second round of our debate, I will first demolish my opponents case, then move on to my own.
I- My opponents first conjunction what that Social Networking Web Sites are beneficial to Americans. I do agree with my opponent that people need people. But long before we had social networking sites we had other ways of communicating. We picked up a phone, or wrote an actual letter. Have Americans become so lazy that they can't do this?
II- The second conjunction of my opponent's case was that social networking is a balance between child's privacy and the parents right to know. Every parent wants to think that their child is smart enough to know what to post and do online. Unless you plan to sit with your child every time they use the computer, and watch their every move you can't insure they are doing exactly what they say. Another fact is that, if you don't allow your child access to the internet at home, they may be getting online and using social networking sites at friends' houses. --As my opponent brought up, a child can receive private messages online from anyone. On facebook and/or myspace, you don't have to have a person as a friend to send them messages.
III- My opponents last point is that social networking provide a degree of online safety. As many people seem to forget, social networking sites allow you to search any name, place, or group. It is a lot easier for you to search a random name, or look for a person in your area on a social networking site because they give you results. As for IM, you have to know a persons complete address to add them. You can't just type in a name and get their email. So social networking sites allow easier access to persons information. While we are talking about gaining persons information, social networking sites have many categories that you fill out, along with name (first and last), age, and where you live/hometown. This allows shady characters to find you, and follow you. And they could potentially steal information about you.
Now to move on to my case.
I- Social Networking Sites effect children's education.
With more and more social networking sites being created, children are using them more. When children get home one of the first things they do is log into their "space" or profile and begin chatting. This is effecting their school work, because they aren't spending enough time or giving their all. Along with not spending enough time on work, students are spending time at night online and not sleeping. Without the sleep required by their body, they have a harder time paying attention in class or do not complete work.
II- Social networking sites allow sexual predators easy access to persons' information.
With over 250,000,000 users on Facebook a vast majority of them are sexual predators. In the year 2007 Facebook deleted 90,000 sexual predator accounts. Those being the ones reported to traced. And since May they have deleted 5,585 accounts. These sexual predators use social networking sites because they are easy access and you can lie easily on them. You don't have to put your actual name, age, or picture. This makes it very convenient to gain trust from somebody and use it against them.
III- Social networking sites can harm your computer and cost money. Both Myspace and Facebook (along with others) have disclaimers telling you to beware or odd friend requests and about opening messages from people you don't know. They can harm viruses, and other computer glitches. Unmarked emails can hold trackers that allow the sender to hack your account, take information, or use the information against you. Trackers may also allow that person to follow what you do online, like visit the website of your bank. Which gives them more access to your accounts and passwords.

Debate Issue: Social Networking | Debate.org
A REVIEW ofhow professionals in the Accountancy Age Top 50 use LinkedIn, highlights that social media is a mainstream tool.
For instance, research by Kelso Consulting shows it is used by tens of thousands of accountants at the Top 50 firms, while a recent survey by accountancy software business CaseWare found that a third of accountants use it regularly, and a further 37% use it occasionally. However, 30% don't use it at all and a similarly large number have no idea what their own firm does on social media (if anything).
Our research also indicates that of its accountancy users, most are pootling along in first or second gear. This is strange as most accountants know their best leads come from their own network - and sites such as LinkedIn (and other business social media like Forum and SlideShare) are all about keeping in touch with your contacts, enlarging your network and interacting with them.
Does it matter that most accountants and their firms do not use LinkedIn particularly well and are in the slow lane on other social media? Well yes. Whether it is identifying suppliers, networking or recruiting, far more of the selecting and buying process is conducted online by clients than in other avenues - whether entrepreneurs, businesses, the self-employed or private individuals. This includes using social media, which is already an established and widely used way of communicating for whole swathes of the population, especially many business owners, finance directors, executives and fellow professionals.
Don't believe the hype
Social media was over-hyped in its early days - just as ecommerce was during the dotcom boom and bust of 15 years ago: but now ecommerce is mainstream and online stores are steamrollering the shops on our high streets.
The same is happening to the many accountancy firms who are anonymous online, through low Google search rankings and their poor use of social media. They are finding it harder and harder to attract enough suitable leads, because 1990s marketing is no longer as effective as 2013-style marketing. Of course, talented rainmakers will always be able to find leads "down the golfclub" and through their network - although these people are also the partners most likely to be utilising LinkedIn properly.
There are still many accountants hoping that social media will "go away". Sadly that will not happen any time soon. The way we communicate has changed dramatically in the last 20 years. Fax machines have come and gone, handwritten letters have become a novelty, and many households now have no landline - instead preferring to rely on mobiles. These changes won't be wound back - fax machines, rotary dial phones, and quill pens are now nearly obsolete, as better technologies have taken their place. The same applies to business communication with the rise of social media.
While your firm won't close tomorrow through not being social media-savvy, it is chronic condition cutting you off from many sources of work and sending a negative message to prospects, clients and recruits that you are hardly the place for leading-edge business advice.
The names of the biggest are well known - Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are well known to accountants. Other common parts of the online landscape, such as YouTube, are also social. Many accountants use them, whether for business development, recruitment, job-hunting or client interaction, but there are still a significant minority who feel they can stand against innovation and improvement. That is good news for the many accountancy firms which are getting to grips with social media and starting to use it effectively - they will be well positioned to be the most attractive to clients and recruits.
Twitter and other social networking services have revolutionized the way people create and maintain relationships. However, new research from the University of Missouri in Columbia shows that Twitter use could actually be damaging to users romantic relationships. Russell Clayton, a doctoral student, found that active Twitter users are far more likely to experience Twitterrelated conflict with their romantic partners. Claytons results showed that Twitter-related conflict then leads to negative relationship outcomes, including emotional and physical cheating, breakup, and divorce. The study was published in April 2014 published in Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking.
In his study, Clayton surveyed 581 Twitter users of all ages. Clayton asked participants questions about their Twitter use, such as how often they login in to Twitter, tweet, scroll the Twitter newsfeed, send direct messages to others, and reply to followers. Clayton also asked how much, if any, conflict arose between participants current or former partners as a result of Twitter use. For example, Clayton asked: How often do you have an argument with your current or former partner because of too much Twitter use? Clayton found that the more often a respondent reported being active on Twitter, the more likely they were to experience Twitter-related conflict with their partner, which then significantly predicted negative relationship outcomes such as cheating, breakup, and divorce.
A release from the university notes that the aim of this study was to examine whether the findings of Claytons recent study, which concluded that Facebook use predicted Facebook-related conflict, which then led to breakup and divorce were consistent with another social networking site platform, Twitter. In his previous research on Facebook, Clayton found that Facebook-related conflict and negative relationship outcomes were greater among couples in newer relationships of 36 months or less. In his new research regarding Twitter, Clayton found these outcomes occurred regardless of duration of relationship. The release quotes Clayton as saying, I found it interesting that active Twitter users experienced Twitter-related conflict and negative relationship outcomes regardless of length of romantic relationship. Couples who reported being in relatively new relationships experienced the same amount of conflict as those in longer relationships. If Twitter users are experiencing Twitter-related conflict with their partner, Clayton recommends couples of all ages limit their daily and weekly use of social networking sites to more healthy, reasonable levels. Although a number of variables can contribute to relationship infidelity and separation, social networking site usage, such as Twitter and Facebook use, can be damaging to relationships, Clayton said. Therefore, users should cut back to moderate, healthy levels of Twitter use if they are experiencing Twitter or Facebook related conflict. Some couples share joint social networking site accounts to reduce relationship conflict, and there are some social networking site apps, such as the 2Life app, that facilitate interpersonal communication between partners.
