In recent decade on the internet scene appeared such term as `weblog', the later version of which had been simplified and is nowadays known as `blog'. Due to the fact that these `personal online, web-based publications' (Armstrong & Retterer, 2009, p. 233) have found a broad response among many users both on leisure and professional level, the amount of definitions rose highly as well. Term `weblog' originally was coined in 1997 by John Barger and Robert Wisdom as they defined it as a `webpage where a web logger `logs' all the other webpage's he/she finds interesting' 4 (Armstrong & Retterer, 2009, p. 233). Since then it has simply been referred to as `a blog' and explained as it is `an online journal that users can continuously update, in their own words, online' (Matheson, 2004, p. 449)

English people say that children grow up more quickly now. Relationships within the British family are different now. Children have more freedom to make their own decisions. For example, children aged 13 may be employed part time in Great Britain. Age 15 is legally a "young person" not a "child". Age 16 is a school leaving age. They can leave home, drive a moped, marry with "parents' consent" buy beer
organization in charge of the mass communication is also getting publicity by the word-of-mouth channel! Mass Media Influence It is hard to argue with the fact that mass media has a compelling effect on the human mind. Especially on minds which are more impressionable. For example, the mass media influence on children is understandably higher than it is in adults. So how exactly does mass media influence us? Mass Media Influence on Youth There is a burgeoning need amongst the youth to be accepted as a part of a group, to be popular, to have friends and relationships with people of the opposite sex etc. Mass media experts understand this need of the people and hence they come out with advertisements on TV, or in the newspapers, or on websites on how people can be more popular using a certain product. Most advertisements you see which are aimed at the youth generally talk about the 'cool quotient' of the product and how it is going to be the next 'in-thing'
reach the enemy lines. They wreak havoc and destruction before grabbing all of the provisions they can carry. They run back to their position to rest for an hour. They devour the tins of food they have gathered, noting that the enemy has far better provisions than they do. Later, Paul stands watch. Memories of the past come to him. The calm and quiet memories bring sorrow rather than desire. He muses that desires "belong to another world that is gone from us." He is sure that his youth is lost and that he has become permanently numb and indifferent. Days pass while dead men accumulate on both sides. Paul and his comrades listen to one man's death throes for three days. They are unable to locate him despite their best efforts. The new recruits figure heavily in the dead and wounded; these reinforcements have had little training, and they drop like flies on the front. During an attack, Paul finds Himmelstoss in a dugout, pretending to be wounded. Paul tries to
* I always mean what I say but I don't always say what I mean. * I was born intelligent. But, education ruined me. * If the left half of the brain controls the right hand, and the right half the left, then lefthanded people are the only ones in their right minds. * I'm going to live forever. Or die trying. * Kill one person you're a murderer, kill ten people your a serial killer, kill a million and you get invited to a peace conference. * Knowledge is knowing something. Wisdom is knowing what to do with that knowledge. * Love makes time pass. Time makes love pass. * Making the world smarter, one idiot at a time. * Mankind can not, and will not, destroy its self. But a few men can. * My body may be broken, but not my spirit. * Never look down on anyone unless you're helping him up. * Nobody is perfect. I am nobody. * None of us are as stupid as all of us. * Pray for what you want. Work for what you need. * Practice does not make perfect..
abstraction rather than consciousness, answers instead of questions, ideology and efficiency rather than conscience." The same could be said of the way our education has prepared us to think about the natural world. It is a matter of no small consequence that the only people who have lived sustainably on the planet for any length of time could not read, or, like the Amish, do not make a fetish of reading. My point is simply that education is no guarantee of decency, prudence, or wisdom. More of the same kind of education will only compound our problems. This is not an argument for ignorance, but rather a statement that the worth of education must now be measured against the standards of decency and human survival - the issues now looming so large before us in the decade of the 1990s and beyond. It is not education that will save us, but education of a certain kind. SANE MEANS, MAD ENDS What went wrong with contemporary culture and with education
