Consequences or Principles?

Consequences or Principles this are the two questions that boggles in my mind.but if someday someones would make me a choice i rather select the consequences.Perhaps im the woman that have lots principles in life but i can give it up for the sake of the consequence might happened,because sometimes principles may lead someones to death,because of the principles in life others become insensetive to the needy. Freedom of choice should be allowed when the consequences are limited to those making the decision or have trivial, or beneficial or nonobjectionable effects on others. Freedom of choice should be allowed in those matters on which a plurality of views are held -- views based on well-articulated principles rooted in cultural tradition or widely recognized moral, philosophical and religious beliefs. For example, the right to conscientious.
It is important here to distinguish between unanticipated and undesired consequences. The former are consequences which are not foreseen and dealt with in advance of their appearance. Undesired consequences are those which we are harmful, but which we are willing to accept, or accept the risk of occurring. Consequences may be: Anticipated,intended and desired,not desired but common or probable,not desired and improbable,Unanticipated,desirable,undiserable.


Social Networking, Privacy Issues

Social networking sites allow students to connect with users with similar interests, build and maintain relationships with friends, and feel more connected with their campus. The foremost criticisms of online social networking are that students may open themselves to public scrutiny of their online personas and risk physical safety by revealing excessive personal information. This review outlines issues of online social networking in higher education by drawing upon articles in both the lay press and academic publications. New points for pharmacy educators to consider include the possible emergence of an “e-professionalism” concept; legal and ethical implications of using online postings in admission, discipline, and student safety decisions; how online personas may blend into professional life; and the responsibility for educating students about the risks of online social networking.This creates an interesting problem for most sites that allow users to post music, photos or video. For instance, several content owners have sued YouTube, the video sharing site, for copyright infringement, and YouTube has claimed a 512(c) defense. Since YouTube is a subsidiary of Google, its future business plan most likely involves serving advertisements according to the kind of video that users view or search for. If the site does this, however, it could amount to a financial benefit directly attributable to the sharing of copyrighted materials.
Social networking sites example is Facebook are mediated public sites (ie, places in which mediating technology allow people to gather publicly.) Persistence, searchability, replicability, and invisible audiences are for unique properties of mediated publics. The “conversations” may be recorded indefinitely, can be searched, replicated, and altered, and may be accessed by others without the knowledge of those in the conversation. Pictures or comments may remain linked with an individual long after the user's attitudes and behaviors have matured. Furthermore, individuals conversing on social network sites imagine their audience and speak to the generally accepted norms of that audience. What they may not understand is that there may be multiple audiences, including those with some type of power or authority over them. Those other audiences may hold completely different views on what is socially acceptable.Facebook profiles are based within a culture and can lend themselves to misinterpretation, partially because of unidentifiable audiences that are inherent in online social networking environments. What students perceive as perfectly normal and harmless expressions among friends and classmates (their audience), may be perceived entirely different by parents, faculty members, and current or potential employers. The ability to define the audience through privacy features is an important component of Facebook; however, that ability “does not necessarily imply an understanding about the ways – both good and bad – that the information might be used.for”Relatively few users invoke the privacy features available to them

Not only is it important to be knowledgeable from a technical perspective but also offering our customers choice is vital.

Bear I.T has known Matt and his team for over 4 years, we have used their services for that whole time. White UK has the same business ethics as Bear I.T and we are fully comfortable in passing business between ourselves. Communication is essential between the two parties and the work we carry out ensures that we can give our customers seamless setup and integration.

White UK Ltd were recommended to me by one of my customers who commented that they listened and understood their needs and requirements as well as explaining the concept of leasing in laymen’s terms.

This was true when Mathew Camp, of White UK Ltd, came to see me. Between us we identified the best methods of offering a combined service to our customer base. White’s warm and approachable customer orientation meant the barriers were broken down quickly ensuring that it was a success.

The range of options we can now offer our customers has expanded and I know that we have secured in excess of £20, 000 worth of business due to the cabling and audio visual options offered by White UK. Our business is expanding all the time with a variety of products and services, and White UK’s support will enable us to place ourselves in a prime position and provide something different over our competitors.

I have no hesitation of recommending White UK Ltd’s services to any of our customers or friends.

I.T as a field of study

I.T as a field of study.........being an I.T is a challenging course nor an easy task it is not about copy paste system whenever their is an exercises like in our previous semester...in this field of technology you need to be patient and have a sense of dedication.In my case i always had a hard time in doing my exercises and activity its not because im tired of doing it but becauwse as i entered in this field i dont really have a knowledge about the computer for the fact that im came in the school with less technology and far from the city.So even how much i tried to know that still i cant.But as of now"natututo rin ako,"even in a process.

Honestly when i first entered in my in my class and that is computer lab,i really felt nervous..because i dont know how to operate computer.At the same time a little bit ashame of,for the reason that what will be my classmate gonna think of me if they know that im not good in it but hahaha i dont care..


I considered I.T as my field where i can fit in.Its because i'd already failed in my first choise course in that is Financial Management Accounting, and then since i was a child i really like people who is working with computer.


And lastly all i can say thatI.T is not always for fun nor just opening only the games when you get bored or if your tired of something its about spending your timt seriously and you need hardship in proggraming its because as the years added and time goes technology always in change
