Introduction for Social Exclusion

What do you think is the worst thing that could happen to you? Many poeple whould say that are metereal affaires. But is this really the worst? No it is not.

Homework nov. 18th ~> ESSAY

Today's technology improves our lives. It facilitates comunications and replaces face-to-face meetings that's why many people prefer working at home in front of the computer screen. Does this technological advance has only advantages for our society or are there also some hidden dangers?

First of all I want to say that you can't neglect many positive and beneficial develepments that computer technologies involve like the possibility for fast communication with other people. For example if you want to tell something to your friend you don't have to write a letter you can easiely write him an e-mail or a short message with a messanger like msn or icq. A further advantage of the computers is the huge amount of information offered in the world wide web which can be used for many aims such as receiving latest news or looking up homework matereal for students. Moreover the possibility of working with the computer at home brings also some pros that are parents working exemplary as a website designer who can spend more time with their children than a parent working in a factory. As a result of this they don't have to pay a person to look after their kids because they can do it themselves.

However there are also dangers that should not be forgotten. Especially young people are in danger of not realizing the negative effects on their lives using computers for example their bad hand writing which is disregarded because they type too much on the keybords. This can be seen at schools were teachers demands pupils to write their homework with the pc and put them into wiki instead of writing classicly with a pen on a paper sheet. Furthermore not only children but also adults can become addicted on using computers. This happens if they spend too much time with it instead of doing other activities such as sports. Many youngsters are depending on chat sites like "schülervz" or online games like "wow". Consequently they lose the sight of real life, neglect social affaires, neglect their health so they just lose their friends and get ill. There are also people trying to escape from the real life into a virtual world. They do this in order to forget their problems those are people having stressful jobs or just jobs they don't like as somebody working in a fast-food restaurant. In special cases that leads to social exclusion and isolation.

As a conclusion I would say that computers are great inventions bringing many andvantages and possibilies in communication and also education. It is also an essential entertaining and informating media which nevertheless should be used carefully especially by children because it contains hidden dangers like addiction.

Estuary English

Definition:

Standard English spoken with the accent of the southeast of England.

The name comes from the area around the Thames Estuary. Especially young people speak it. Many people consider it as the working class accent.

particularities of this accent:

• Non-rhotic speaker does not pronounce /r/ in hard, /r/ is only pronounced if it is followed by a vowel sound: the R in here would not be pronounced in here they are (because it is followed by a consonant), but it would be pronounced in here I am!
• A broad A: laugh, grass, bath
• T-glottalization e.g. water (pronounced /wɔːʔə/)
• Yod-coalescence: words like dune and Tuesdaysound like June and choose day
