BULLYING

CYBERBULLYING

cyberbullying or cyberharassment is a form of bullying or harassment using electronic forms of contact. Cyberbullying has become increasingly common, especially among teenagers.^[1]Awareness in the United States has risen in the 2010s, due in part to high-profile cases. Bullying or harassment can be identified by repeated behavior and an intent to harm.Harmful bullying behavior can include posting rumors about a person, threats, sexual remarks, disclose victims' personal information, or pejorative labels

Several US states and other countries have laws specific to regulating cyberbullying.^[These laws are designed to specifically target teen cyberbullying, while others use laws extending from the scope of physical harassment.^[In cases of adult cyberharassment, these reports are usually filed beginning with local police.^[8] Research has demonstrated a number of serious consequences of cyberbullying victimization.^[9] Victims may have lower self-esteem, increased suicidal ideation, and a variety of emotional responses, retaliating, being scared, frustrated, angry, and depressed.^[10]Individuals have reported that cyberbullying can be more harmful than traditional bullying.^[11]

Internet trolling is a common form of bullying over the Internet in an online community (such as in online gaming or social media) in order to elicit a reaction, disruption, or for their own personal amusement.^[12][13] Cyberstalking is another form of bullying or harassment that uses electronic communications to stalk a victim may pose a credible threat to the safety of the victim.^[14]

Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively 

dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual.
Rationalizations for such behavior sometimes include differences of social class, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, appearance, behavior, body language, personality, reputation, lineage, strength, size or ability.^[2][3]If bullying is done by a group, it is called mobbing.
Bullying can be defined in many different ways. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has no legal definition of bullying,^[5] while some states in the United States have laws against it.^[6] Bullying is divided into four basic types of abuse – emotional(sometimes called relational), verbal, physical, and cyber

bullying
bullying a person is basically hurting them without touching them, so hurting them psychologically which can lead to other problems, like anxiety or other medical problems. bullying is the worst form of giving your opinion, i believe it is a crime!
bullying and cyber bullying should end as soon as possible to prevent  all the possible problems left.

cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology. Examples of cyberbullying include mean text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles.People who are being cyberbullied are often bullied in person as well. Additionally, kids who are cyberbullied have a harder time getting away from the behavior. The students who are victim of cyberbullying are likely to skip school.

Bullying

These days many kids and teens are being victims of the many forms of bullying: cyber bullying, physical bullying , verbal bullying... 

The bullied often have no one by there sides. In addition, if it's verbal bullying, they may believe that whatever the bullies are saying is true, which can lead to anxiety. If it's physical bullying, they'll be too afraid to tell anybody and will end up being used to being hit. Furthermore, i think cyber bullying is also very dangerous, you can be threatened by someone you don't even know and not be able to define why this person is bullying you.

Finally, if someone ever has the courage to tell you that he's being bullied, immediately try to help him and tell an adult.

Why a person might be chosen as a bullying target : 
Bullying is when someone is being hurt either by words or actions on purpose, usually more than once, feels bad because of it, and has a hard time stopping what is happening to them.
We don’t always know why people bully or why they pick certain people to bully because bullying can happen to anyone.  The best answer I can give you is to tell you the most common reasons why a person might be chosen as a bullying target.
A person might be more of a bullying target if they:
* Are seen as weak or not able to fight back
* Are less popular and don’t have many friends
* Are depressed, anxious, or have low self-esteem
* Don’t get along well with others or are seen as annoying
No one deserves to be bullied, no matter what they look or act like.

black friday

Black Friday

The Friday After Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday.

 This also is unofficially or officially start of holiday shopping season. Almost all stores come out with Doorbuster Sales with early bird special to attract consumers to their stores. People stand in line hours before store is opened, to grab the bargain of the year. Almost every store has something that interests every one. For bargain hunters, if there is a biggest festival in a year, that would be, no doubt, the Black Friday.

 In last few years, Black Friday Sales have started way before Friday-with some stores starting their Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving day & some even starting on Wednesday. It would not be surprising to see Black Friday sale starting from Monday on that week. Therefore, revenue wise this is not the best day for stores.

shopping therapy

Shopping  therapy: 

“When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping”? There just may be some wisdom in that.

More than half of Americans admit to engaging in “retail therapy”—the act of shopping and spending to improve one’s mood. This echoes a previous study , published in the Journal of Psychology and Marketing, that revealed 62% of shoppers had purchased something to cheer themselves up, and another 28% had purchased as a form of celebration. 

Is “retail therapy” actually therapeutic? 

In small, manageable doses shopping can soothe the soul. Shopping isn’t a problem when it’s done in moderation, just like moderate use of alcohol.

Of course, it’s possible to overdo consumption, in terms of drinking or shopping, or any number of other things for that matter.

-Monsieur le minister, on est là pour vous poser quelques questions qui ont pour but de refléter les problems de l’environnement au Liban.

-Je suis prêt à répondre à toutes vos questions!

-Comment vous trouvez la situation au Liban noyé dans les déchets? A votre avis quell est l’aboutissement de cette crise?

-Honnêtement nous essayons de notre mieux de trouver des solutions convenables. Mais elles sont difficiles à réaliser donc je vous prie d’être patients et de nous faire confiance!

-Et quelles solutions proposez-vous pour le problème des maladies qui envahissent le pays ?

-Je pense que pour éviter toutes ces maladies il faut vraiment pouvoir incinérer les déchets mais le problème majeur au Liban est le problème financier qui entrave toute solution !

-Et le recyclage ?

-En effet je trouve que le recyclage est une des meilleures solutions, cependant, on n’a ni les moyens financiers ni la culture pour avancer dans cette action !

-Monsieur le ministre, au niveau des finances, qui est le responsable de cette crise et où disparaît l’argent des taxes ?

-On ne peut blâmer personne en particulier et caque citoyen doit être responsable et respectueux de l’environnement du pays !

Un groupe d’élèves retrouva le ministre de l’environnement dans la campagne et commença à lui poser des questions

 .Bonjour monsieur le ministre, dit Karim"

       ..Bonjour " répondit le ministre de l’environnement en souriant- 

:Yasmine introduisit la cause de cette rencontre 

  Nous voudrions parler du Liban qui s’empire au fil du temps"

          ?Etes-vous conscient des problèmes qui envahissent le Liban-

         .Bien sûre mais la situation financière laisse à désirer ! S’exclama le ministre-

       Les déchets qui envahissent les rues et l’air pollué qui crée des maladies -

dangereuses comme l’asphyxie et l’asthme, protesta Joudy

          .Ummmm… marmonna le ministre-

        ,Pourquoi ne répondez-vous pas ? Est-ce très difficile de répondre ? Croyez-moi- 

une personne comme vous ne mérite pas d’être ministre » s’écria Fadia

Karim poursuivit en criant : « si vous n’êtes pas capable d’entendre nos problèmes et   

?de les résoudre, pourquoi êtes-vous ministre

         Pourquoi tourner autour du pot? riposta Zeina. Vous avez l’argent nécessaire pour -

"!résoudre tous les problèmes environnementaux de ce pays 

!Le ministre ne sachant quoi dire, sortit

 Le lundi 5 décembre 2016 nous sommes partis interviewer le minister de l’environnement libanais afin de discuter des problèmes de l’environnement au Liban:

“Monsieur le minister, nous voudrons d’abord vous saluer puis vous posez quelques questions autour du problème de la pollution : premièrement, nous voudrons vous informer que les espaces verts ne dépassent plus 7% du territoire libanais ?

-Ah bon ? Cela m’étonne que cet espace a autant diminué mais il ne faut pas oublier la cause de cette diminution !

-Nous savons que nous sommes la cause de cette diminution mais vous ne faites pas l’effort de préserver cet environnement ! le Liban est en train de se noyer dans une mer d’ordures et vous ne faites rien !

-Le Liban vit une crise économique qui ne permet pas de trouver des solutions sur le champs !

-En effet, il faut consacrer une partie de l’argent gagné par l’état des taxes pour mettre en place des projets en vue de sauver l’environnement.

-Nous allons prendre en considération votre proposition : on va faire de notre mieux pour résoudre ce problème et nous allons discuter ensemble pour trouver des solutions à ce problème.

-Merci monsieur le ministre, on espère que le Liban devient plus propre !

Online shopping

Shopping is an activity very commonly practiced nowadays in our consumerist society. For example, online shopping has become a widespread means of purchasing items with the advent of the Internet, however I for once am not someone who frequently practices it and as such can only advise against fraudulent websites or scams.  I have not said "consumerist" lightly, for in our society it has become commonplace to shop for items that may not be useful, or that will not be used.  Aside from that, shopping is certainly a beneficial activity as it provides someone with items needed, be it clothes, appliances, gadgets or accessories. 

Give your idea about online shopping

Nowadays online shopping is becoming more popular than regular shopping. People can order anything they want, from anywhere in the world, whenever they want, over the internet and I find that really cool for items that cannot be found in the place where you live, but if the product is provided in the country I prefer ordinary shopping mostly with friends so you can have a great moment.

Online shopping has many advantages. First, you can find a big variety of products and you get the choice to choose which one you want. In addition, most of the products are cheaper than the local products and by using the internet, it’s more easier to find a specific product.

But on the other hand, online shopping has several disadvantages. First, the product that you order can take a long time to arrive. And the product that you order can be damaged or even lost and when you order clothes, sometimes it doesn't fit you. And finally, the shipping can be really expensive and some times costs more than the product.

Black friday

Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States (the fourth Thursday of November). Since 1952, it has been regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season in the U.S. Black Friday is not an official holiday . There you can find amazing sales and buy really expensive stuff for really cheap. Everyone likes to shop around in this day due to presence of   killer deals.

BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING

Black Friday shopping is the last Friday of November of every year, where all the shops online and everywhere do amazing sales. There you can find amazing bargains and buy really expensive stuff for really cheap. The black portion of the name, "Black Friday" relates to businesses recording their losses in red ink and gains in black

Many people have this as a day off work; they use it to make trips to see family members or friends who live in other areas or to go on vacation. But for millions of people, Black Friday is the time to do some serious Christmas shopping

Black Friday isn't international: this "event" doesn't exist in Lebanon. So I don't have a personal experience about going black Friday shopping.  But I think it's a great idea for the two sides of the market: the retailers and the costumers. The first one gets to sell most of his stuff that does not give him profit in their original price. And the latter gets to have really amazing stuff, like electronics, for 

an affordable price

Give your idea about SN sites

SN sites are really great for keeping in touch with friends. They are also good to keep updated. These sites can be really educational. People can get addicted and as a consequence, they don’t have time for their real lives. And they can be dangerous because of cyber-bullying.

Is the mobile phone a useful invention?

Mobile phones have a lot of advantages. They can keep us in touch with friends by chatting with them, or in case of emergency, they are always here to help. But on the other side, they have a lot of disadvantages. They are great time wasters. And for students especially, they decrease the concentration. People can get headaches just by using them because of their small screen.

Social network sites

Social network sites can be really useful in a various number of situations: they can help you communicate with friends and parents in case of emergencies. But they can also keep you from doing your homework. Plus, you can easily get you addicted to them if you don't set limits.

Is the mobile phone a useful invention?

There are a lot of contradictory opinions about this issue especially between parents who find it a waste of time. and children.. So, of course, as a student, I find it useful not only as a means of 

communication but also a way to relax and have fun.
