  Television has long been one of the most popular devices used for entertainment all over the world. It is cheap, appealing, and within the reach as almost every household has one television set in their place. To a certain extent, watching television provides some benefits. It provides news, various information, and entertainment.  It also has the potential to reduce women's stress. Nabi, Prestin and So (2016) found that watching TV lower women’s cortisol levels—designating that they had lower stress levels. What is more, watching television can promote creativity. The research of Anderson et al (2001) revealed that educational children's programs can stimulate imaginative play and creativity. However, watching too much television is disadvantageous many TV programs include non-educational content, which can cause negative mental development, and it tends to be a wasting time activity. The first reason why watching too much television is disadvantageous is because the content

Every society in every place and time, therefore, needs warriors to resolve conflicts and wars effectively by using their courage and fighting skills and to provide a living example based on compassion, discipline, and self-development in accordance with the code of ethics they adhere to. The samurai and knight were two elite warriors serving during the middle ages Having high skills in martial arts, they were highly respected for their honor, courage, helpfulness, and dedication to serving their respective lord, and protecting their country. Despite their similarities in various traits, the samurai and knight were different in origins, training, armor, and code of conduct. The Samurai arose in the 7th century when Japan implemented a feudal system. To secure their riches, the landowners ( daimyos ) recruited the samurai. The first samurai were peasants

Both were formidable components on the battlefield as they would emerge fear on the band of sea raiders, bandits, or even regular soldiers upon laying sight on them. In addition to their high skills in martial arts, they were also highly respected for their honor, courage, helpfulness, and dedication to serving their respective lord, and protecting their country. Although the samurai and knight are similar in various traits, they were different in origins, training, armor, and code of conduct. The Samurai arose in the 7th century when Japan implemented a feudal system, during which landowners (daimyos) needed samurai warriors to secure their riches. The first samurai were peasants who got long training and became a highly skilled warrior class. Most samurai working for a daimyo, however, were the lord’s relatives. Only a few of them were hired fr

What is setting? In fiction, the setting is the total environment where the actions or events take place. It is always called "the where and when of the story" and covers the place (physical, sensuous world) where the events occur, the time or age of the action, the social and cultural environment (moral values that govern the characters’ society, manners, customs, etc.) and atmosphere.  The place setting can be fixed such as in Hemingway’s Old Man at the Bridge . The story is set mainly at the bridge or varied like in Hemingway’s Cat in the Rain . The place settings of this story shift from the couple’s room, the front office, and the terrace of the hotel. In relation to this, we can say that the short story is set in some places where the events in the story occur. Bocarro’s A Long Walk Home also uses varied place settings. The author shifts the place setting from the road to a garage then to a bioscope. The place setting can also be foreign, in the sense that the story is

  As described in Citing and Referencing in Academic Writing , paraphrasing is rewriting someone else’s oral and written ideas in your own words. In research papers, it is used to provide support or examples, or as an alternative to a quote and summary. Instead of a quote, paraphrasing is used when (1) the exact words are not important and (2) the exact words are not coherent with your paper (e.g., the style is too simple or too dense) or useful (their highlighted point is dissimilar to what you want to accentuate); (3) to show that you have grasped the material (not a slave to the original writer’s word; (4) to “condense” a section from the source that is too long to quote; and (5) to avoid plagiarism as paraphrasing requires you to express the same idea in different words and to cite the source. There are four important points to remember when you are paraphrasing. First, you should not copy the original sentence because it is done to quote, not to paraphrase. Second, you should not

  As described in Citing and Referencing in Academic Writing , q uoting or using direct quotes is one of the three ways for including someone else's ideas to back up your ideas, arguments, and claims in academic writing. A quotation is an exact copy of someone else’s  words which can be simply a  word, a phrase, a sentence, a group of sentences, or a longer passage. Since the text you are writing is your own work, most of it should be in your own words. Thus, use only a limited number of direct quotations in your text. As a general rule of thumb, direct quotations should not exceed ten percent of your paper. Consequently, when you can express the idea just as effectively in your own words, just paraphrase or summarize it. Use a direct quotation only (1) if the wording of the original author is expressed in a particularly cogent way so that it might be misinterpreted if expressed in other words; (2) if the quote is particularly well-known; (3) when the exact words of the origin

  As described in  Citing and Referencing in Academic Writing , summarizing  is one of the three methods for including  someone else's ideas to back up your ideas, arguments, and claims in academic writing. Like paraphrasing, summarizing is a way of including someone else’s ideas in your own work by rewriting them in your own words without changing the meanings. Yet, different from paraphrasing in which the original oral and written ideas are reframed without changing the meanings, summarizing shortens a longer passage into a smaller one but keeps its core point or meaning intact. It is a way to extract the most important points from a text and rewrite them in your own word. As It leaves out superfluous details and covers only the key essence of the ideas conveyed, it is very effective for over viewing a source. Like a quotation or paraphrase, a summary should be coherent with the rest of your paper, particularly in style and grammar. It should also be cited in the text where you

The use of technology, especially smartphones, to facilitate learning was accelerated by the coronavirus outbreak, during which around 50% of students around the world used a smartphone to attend classes. Technology-based learning, which is even predicted to become a new normal in the post-coronavirus era, is a double-edged sword. It not only offers various benefits but also results in various negative effects if not used wisely. This essay focuses on three potential negative impacts of smartphones use in learning: digital amnesia, information overload, and multitasking. Digital amnesia is a person’s acute psychological tendency to forget information stored di
