When I was young, I live in a village where is far away from the city, the people did not use social media. Through the age of growth, I found more and more people who around me began to use social media, such as writing diary on blog, communicating with friends on QQ (the most popular social media tool in China). When I was 18, not only I moved to a big city, but also I began to use social media. I got a QQ account, and I added more than 100 friends successfully in my account for 20 minutes. In addition, I found some friend that I have not met with them for almost 10 years. At that time, I was realized how big influence of social media to the modern communication.

In “Brave, New Social World”, McCafferty mentions social media is becoming the main global communication tool. He utilizes many statistics, numbers and facts to convince people that many social media tools are increasing exponentially in the recent years. Meanwhile, …show more content…
His organizational structure is not very formal. Normally, a closed-form essay should have an introduction, body paragraph, and a conclusion. In this essay, McCafferty did not conclude a conclusion in the end. In the beginning, McCafferty introduce the increasing of social media and different usages of social media; and then, he provides numerous evidences in his body paragraphs. Finally, He suddenly ends with his last examples. Because his three examples are from worldwide, I think it would better if he writes a conclusion to narrate down to his main

    In A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley there are many things in the book that are similar to the world that we live in today. From personal relationships to drugs when reading this book it is quite obvious that we are possibly changing into a society just like the one in this very book. There isn’t much proof that the society is changing into the same society as in the book, from what we can tell a lot of it is probably made up, but there are some things that prove how similar our societies are now. When you think of a child being born most of us think of the usual father and mother having an intimate moment which then sometimes ends up in the mother becoming pregnant so she gives birth. When this happens you don’t get to pick what the gender…

    Technology is rapidly changing, and with it is the way we engage and communicate with each other. The media which was once primary link between the political realm and the everyday citizen has changed with it.

While they remain an important part in the pursuit of democracy in Canada, it is no longer the only method for politicians or leaders to reach the masses. Through this evolution of technology has emerged a new form of communication.…

    For the Summer Assignment, I read Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. Huxley was born into a wealthy family of scientists and wrote Brave New World in 1931, when the Great Depression was starting up and Hitler was rising to power, not to mention the fact that Huxley already had lived through WWI and lost his mother, his brother, and most of his eyesight, all in the same year[1]. Given all of these circumstances, he had plenty of reason to fear for the future. Brave New World is a model example of a society that is imposed to be perfect, but in truth is far from being so. Huxley creates his “brave new world” as an example of a “perfect dictatorship,” a society that basically is a prison of no walls, and prisoners, drawn to various forms of entertainment and consumerism, who would never think of leaving.…

    A common theme between A Brave New World and an article titled “Drugs aren't solving mental illness” is that the use of drugs or other medications to calm the mind are only causing more harm than improvement in patients. In the article it is asserted by Dr. Insel, “Four decades of drug development resulting in over 20 antipsychotics and 30 antidepressants have not demonstrably reduced the morbidity or mortality of mental disorders,” therefore it has been scientifically proven that the intake of prescription medication to fight depression or psychiatric problems have not showed any results positive for the patient. Similarly, in the novel it is portrayed that “soma” has the same ability of drugs and alcohol without the side effects of hangovers…

    The society in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley may appear to be a polar opposite when compared to society as it is known today. While many things are extremely different in the novel, it is quite surprising how much is actually similar to society today. The society in Brave New World is a utopia, striving to maintain stability by removing individualism. Ten controllers of the world states determine how society is run.…

    Everyday important things happen around us, things that make a huge impact on today and the future. Unfortunately very few of people in our society have their focus on these realistic events because they are too occupied by the distraction of television shows and social media which neither have any relevance to our world today. Now the question is whether our society is purposely diverting our attention to insignificant entertainment to hide crucial information? In Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley, he writes about a society whose citizens are censored from the realities we face in our society. Aging, murder, suffering, diseases, pain, love, and relationships are some of the few things that the people in Brave New World are prevented…
