Cigarettes

Employers should be required to provide smocking areas for their employees who smoke cigarettes.
In general, this topic is of great significance in our life. Although smoking is very harmful to health, a lot of people are used to smoking cigarettes. However, life becomes very difficult for smokers because their smoking often makes non-smokers annoyed and unpleasant. It is inconvenient for both of those who smoke and those who don’t. Therefore, I support the idea of employers providing smoking areas for those employees, who smoke cigarettes.

First and foremost, providing smoking areas will help smoking employees feel comfortable and work effectively. Smoking habits differ from smoker to smoker. In fact, when one is heavily addicted to smoking, one wants to smoke many times a day. If there is no place for him to smoke, he can feel tired and may not want to work. This affects the productivity of the company. Thus, it is useful for employers to build smoking areas for smokers. In order to improve the productivity of the company thereby increasing profit in their business, employers should consider demands and desires of their workers. If employers can meet the wishes of their employees, they will be successful in creating a comfortable working environment. As a result, employees would think that their bosses care about them and they would work harder. This would improve the productivity and thus the profit of the company.

In Addition, since smoking employees will have a place to smoke, they will not cause inconvenience for non-smokers. If employers do not provide smoking areas, smokers can be forced to smoke in places where there are a lot of non-smokers. Actually, non-smoking employees will feel uncomfortable with the smell of cigarettes that can harm their health and affect their performance. Thus, by providing special areas for smoking, employers can satisfy all of their employees whether they smoke or not.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that employers should be required to provide smoking areas for their smoking employees. In this way, both the employers and employees can be benefited. Employers will make higher profit and employees will feel more comfortable.

DOTCOM Phase #3, Module 2 - Exploring REEL BAD ARABS

first of all, thanks to Rob for last comment
So Let's do 2nd moudle ok.
"Arabs"
when I hear or saw this word that moment really I begin to think about "Burc arab!"
You know becouse it is fantastic place. I am sure that most pupils about 75% of our school is thinking like me :)Bye the way It was framed by the best architects in the world!

1)THE THREE-PART BRAIN - In what ways do YOU think REEL BAD ARABS attracted your REPTILIAN (instinctual), FEELING (limbic) and THINKING (neo-cortex) brains?
So I think this movie influences to our REPTILIAN BRAIN it works till the end. Because we would not anticipate that there might be happen sudden things.and we just leap out :) then Secondly I suppose that there are also functions of THE LIMBIC BRAIN and THE NEOCORTEX BRAIN. you see The limbic brain is worked till the the by Music of Movie. and Finally,this also influences THE NEOCORTEX BRAIN.Because we think about stereotypes
2)PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES - List and describe one specific production technique - lighting, music, camera effects, editing - used by REEL BAD ARABS.
generally, this question is of great significance in our media life. every movie makers use PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES but after finishing film you begin to think whish part of PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES I used specificly? I think the most necessary thing is MUSIC! after watcing film I thought how Fantasticly they used Music! after each part of movie music is changing.
In conclusion I would like to summarize that Music is the Heart of Movie
3)PERSUASIVE TECHNIQUES - Looking at our list of 24 plus persuasive techniques, list and describe a specific moment from the film as an example of THREE different specific persuasive techniques used by our filmmakers.
Big Lie- you know in this moviie they used so many lies I don't mean that they told any lies things but some episodes in movie for example: They used episodes from the films "back to future" then "alladin" and so on. through this lies they got humor haha I mean lies discovers Humor that is good!
Plain folks- in these movie there are so many Plain folks I don't know why movie makers use them But I support their ideas that is why ill think just a moment hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm okey Maybe they use them becouse they couldn't find anybody who is popular. so I am serios I couldn't find why they use them but wait for increasing maybe for attracte people???? this s stupid???
Simple solutions: if I don't make a mistake in that movie they told about solutions of Stereotype I guess through this solution They attract people to think about solution and get more viewers.....
4)SUGGESTIONS - Offer one specific suggestion for the REEL BAD ARABS filmmakers that might make their film even more powerful.
So, I think... wait Rob Are you sure that The best filmmakers will not grasp my idea? If I will write here they will. Maybe I will send you this through massage? I am kidding :D okey My suggestion is to increase lies,humor not fighting situations fighting in Arabs films don't suit becouse their face is no serios lik others. Actually they use more executioner in Movies thet executioner kills more people. I offer to dicrease this peculiarities for future. that is all for this moudle I don't wanna reveal my secrets.
5) Would you recommend this film for viewing with friends or colleagues? Why or why not?
Exactly, I would recommend this to myfriends.couse I wanna learn more opinions about this film and I would like to demonstrate my secrets to my friends who doen't wanna be filmmaker otherwise They will rob my ideas and will use :) In conclusion I would like to remark that That was fantstic movie;)

Wrapping up Phase1!

First of all,thank you very much for challenging us to this project.I believe that this project has given us the fundamental knowledge or literacy about Mass Media. Hence,it will play great role in our future career(being journalist).
As regard your questions, answers are listed below.
a)The most exciting part of the DOTCOM PHASE1 project for me was "Our brains on Media".Especially finding an interesting and funny videos to explain what part of brains get influenced and how they are influenced.
b)The most challenging part of the DOTCOM PHASE1 project for me was "The persuasive language of Media".It was more challenged and interesting,because it required more tasks,and gave more knowledge about Mass Media.I read or learned more than 20 persuasive techniques.Thanks to it,I improved my media knowledge to some extent.
c)I have not got any suggestions.Everything,from teaching method to having more interval of time to accomplish models, satisfied me.
2)I found this video to be more interesting and funny.Because it contains more funniest episodes.The best way to convince you why it is so funny,you must watch it entirely from the beginning to the end;)

Media and Leadership-Learning The Persuasive Language of Media

This video influences to all 3 parts of my brain.1) It appeals to my REPTILIAN brain. The unanticipated appearance of Jinn influences to my Reptilian brain. 2) The images and actions we see and music or noises that we hear appeals to our LIMBIC brains.3) We think about this advertisement after the watching the whole video-How is it impossible all people here got the "puma" by magic of the jinn. So our NEOCORTEX brains begin to regulate it.

Humour: I believe that the main impression on everybody who watched this video is humour. Due to the magic of jinn from the lamp every people get puma. This situation makes humour. Thereby smile appears on everybody's faces.

Symbol: here is the symbol-"puma". This symbol plays an important role in financial position of "Puma" factory or company. That is why I think using "Puma" symbol in every part of actions, especially in the end of the ad simplify the identification of this kind of shoes among others for people who want to get it without remembering the name hardly.

Plain folks: we see tens of people in this advertisement. While using these people in the advertisement, the company easily implants the strong quality of "Puma" to us or persuades that everybody is fond of "Puma" here. In this way the number of customers increases.

Big lie: here is also a big lie such an appearance of jinn. How can it help the company to involve the customers? Of course I believe that there must be strong beginning of advertisement to attract the viewers to watch the whole of the ad and then may be they will be motivated by this advertisement to buy “Puma”. All in a one, it evokes interest on everybody who sees it.

Group dynamics: I think that putting on the same of "Puma" together is one kind of solidarity. In the advertisement we see this item contributes to the people to be more solidary with one another. Although there are not any group dynamic power words, but we feel that a group of the students, fishermen and others deliver us these dynamics with their convenience on "Puma"-s and smile on their faces.

In addition to these, I think that here are used HYPERBOLE (because of persuading by making exaggerated claims) and BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE (persuading through images of good-looking individuals).

Our Brain on Media

Imagine yourself being in such situation.Ohhh! my God.It's interesting to know how you will feel if happens to you.Such funny catastrophe that happened in wedding celebration made me laugh.At the same time it caused me to think.Wedding is very important event in our life that happens only one.It's painful irony of your life is such thing happens to you in your wedding.So I think this short movie influences to our REPTILIAN BRAIN. Because it happened suddenly and we would not anticipate that catastrophe might be happen.
Secondly I suppose that there are also functions of THE LIMBIC BRAIN and THE NEOCORTEX BRAIN. When the priest is speaking or asking questions, we hear the voices or sounds, also see the actions.It is regulated by the limbic brain. Then we think that how it would be more horrible if there were not a pool.I am so sorry for future husband and his wife. I think the neocortex appears to regulate it.But its function is less than 2 other brains have.
This brief video influences me both for better and worse.At first we laugh at this situation,because it is so ridiculous.Then we begin to think how the boy is dreading and we feel pity. I believe that this movie influences to all 3 brains.
Firstly,that a boy sitting still at the computer,was looking at the screen but sudden and unanticipated scareful appearance of monster fightened him.We also startled.Because of these kind of actions,our hearts begin beating fast.It also makes anomalous breathing.So it is THE REPTILIAN BRAIN that regulates these functions.
Secondly,I think that THE LIMBIC BRAIN also here,to regulate it. Because we heard how the boy screamed and saw the images or the actions of the boy.
Finally,this also influences THE NEOCORTEX BRAIN.Because when we encounter this kind of stiuation we think that it is in reality,but then we comprehend that there is not any monster it is frivulous,just a joke:))

My photos





My personaly Media Inventory

Books.I like books,because they can help us.They can prepare us for future.Books must be our friends during all our life.This is my opinion and I feel like it is true.As long as I can remember myself I was always keen on books.I prefer books about history. I have recently read the book "Drongo" by Chingiz Abdullayev. It is about crimes celebrated persons did. I have also read 5 books of Harry Potter.Because I like the mystery events.


Newspapers/magazines.Newspapers play an important role in informing people of current events.Newspaper can cover more news than TV and radio can do.Newspaper provides information and comments faster.I am football fan.That is why I usually buy the newspapers such as,"Football+" and "Goal".
Magazine is a collection of articles and stories.Most magazines contain illustrations.When I was a little schoolboy(nowdays I was called little by parents at home:)) I used to read "Tumurcuq" because it is a children's magazine and contain stories,jokes,articles on subjects interesting for children.Nowdays I am interested in economies and polities of the world countries. I read recently the magazine"Cool English". One of it's advantages is that it is in english.There you can also find reports of peoples about their experiences and cultures of their countries.One of purposes is teaching english.There are also entertainment and fun articles.





Music.I love music.This is true that nobody can live without music.Most of all I like are pop and rock.James Blunt,Linkin Park is my favourite singe.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdJOUZgeKV0.) I know almost his all songs. The first thing I do in the morning I turn on my mp3 player and listen to music.I also watch "JC TV".This channel broadcasts rock concerts.My english teacher is a singer.He sings rock music.Last year he took part in one of the most popular TV competitions.That is why my concerning with rock music have been doubled. In order to listen to my favorite musics,I buy CD-s,download from the suitable sites.Sometimes I go to concerts with mu family,enjoy listening to songs.Music reflects my moods and motions.

Television.TV is one of the most important means of communication.It brings moving pictures and sounds from around of world into millions of homes.About 70% of TV channels in our country are commercial channels.They sell advertising time to pay for their operating costs and to make profit.These channels broadcast entertainment programs.I watch some of these channels and some foreign channels.CNN is my favorite American news channel.Because I like o watch sport programs and international news.It help me to know what is going on in our world.The other channels that I usually watch are Discovery, Nickelodeon and Jetix.Through Discovery channel I get information of modern inventions and dicovers.My favourite cartoons are "Spongebob Squarepants"and "Naruto" .That is why I watch "Nickelodeon" and "Jetix" channels.





Video games. I play some video games. I prefer strategy games, such as "Cazaky","Empire". I also have playstation2,there I usually play football games(winnin' eleven 2008) and race games (driver1,2). But most of all I play chess with computer("chessmaster 2007" and" Fritz").Because through it I improve my logical thought. It helps me solve problems in advance.



Computers.I use computer much.Because through using computer I connect to internet,listen to music,prepare my lessons such as making charts for my current lesson in math,play some games. I also use computer as mean of connection to abroad.Thank to it I'm chatting with my friend from abroad.If I hadn't got computer,I would have faced some difficulties to join to your PH- Harmony project.So computer is part of my life:)


Internet.I use Internet a lot.Internet helps me find almost everything that I want,to get acquaintance with the peers,to chart with my friend.I get information through internet,that I can not get from books.Besides it,I also play online games.Through Internet,I can easily travel some countrys,explore the historical monuments like Great Pyramid.I feel myself being in some interesting locations such as beach in Hawaii:))

1)Computer
2)Internet
3)Books

My autobiography and The knowledge tree-Me and Media

1)My name is Samir.Surname is Karimov.I am 16 years old.I was born in Baku,the capital of Azerbaijan.I study at school№220 named after Arastun Mahmudov.I am in the 9th form.I have got mother,father,sister and brother in my family.I most like to study subjects like history,math,geography.Most of them I like to study,to get information about internet technology and media.Because by means of these I can get or be aware of recent information about political and economical changes in the world.My dream is to be useful person for my country and contribute my experience from programs like DOTCOM, to people in my country.One of my dreams is visiting a lot of countries,to see their cultures,although I have been to some countries for some reasons.Because of being chess player, i was invited to Austria,Serbia,Turkey,Dubai, Greece and Georgia.Besides it,I am a football fan of Azerbaijan national team,I went to Iceland,Turkey,Georgia.But it is not enough to know their cultures.For it I must communicate with students at my age and get more information about their countires. For realization my dream,DOTCOM program gives me chance. I think I am a leader but not in all sphere.I can arrange parties,sport competitions.I can also lead a group in abroad,because I have enough experience about it.As regards my character, I am hardworking and do my best to realize my dream, that I'm longer for. Occasionaly I am quiet and shy.I think it depends on rare situations. I haven't problem with adaptation, so this help me make friends of all kinds.Due to chess experience(before every movement,I sit and think how to play), anticipation feature has emerged on me.Thus I strive to solve problems beforehand.
2)My family is the subcribe of the magazine "Cool English".Through it I get more information about countrys' economical and political events. In addition to it,when I watch the channel CNN,I get all kind of information.I have recently read the book "Drongo" by Chingiz Abdullayev.It is about criminal events, that made me aware of the crimes that the people, even some leaders of the countries have commited.


3)I concern about the network system of my community. Because I think, it is one of most important parts of every community. Only through internet,you can communicate with people from abroad,get clearly information about your favourite celebrated person,get latest news of the world,play logical online games with others.If I could, I would like to strengthen this system,the speed of the connection. Because my community's network system is weak.It takes much time to access internet.

4)Every person has own experience and cultural background that nobody knows. So I think I can contribute my cultural background and experience to other participants of this Program that I have gained from my life in my country and travels to different countries- How I felt, when journalists were requesting an interview from me and how I was giving interview to them, how I communicated with different people from different countries. I will give Dotcom's participants some information about my country-the places of interest, the community and democratic experience of my country. I can also teach chess and explain its rules.
I think it's important to strengthen the relations among the countries and to develop the cultural and scientific ties with them especially with USA.
