this paper is that of withdraw from socialization, and unproductiveness. Today’s youth have become lethargic as well as less communicative due to spending much of their time being “glued to the screen”. Preschool-aged children are playing on iPads and other technology devices. This will no doubt affect the generation’s youth socially, by causing them to have poor social and communication skills. Lack of communication skills is certainly a newer issue that the children of previous generations did not experience, and it can only be imagined what impact this will have on our future society. Whenever our parents and grandparents were children, they would do many different activities such as reading

percent of teenagers went on physical dates.
iGen teens live a little differently. They would rather stay at home and scroll through social media to see how everyone is feeling or what they were doing. Texting friends is better than actually meeting up with them. Laying in bed and staring at a screen is the typical night of a iGen teen. There is no rush to get a license because there is no need to drive somewhere when everyone can talk to each other on their phones in their own homes. There is no urge to leave the house and get away from parents. Or when a iGen teen does leave the house, his or her parents are more willing to take them where they want to go. So there is no rush to get a license

Although several studies have made the connection between device communication and signs and symptoms of depression, this issue is still arguable in current mental disorder research. There are many reasons why an SNA like Facebook, or an Instagram user may have a habit to become depressed, as there are numerous factors that may lead an already depressed individual to start to use or increase their use of social media.

One way tobacco companies target teens is through the media. The more teens see actors smoking in TV shows and movies, the more teens will want to try it themselves. "Non-smoking teens whose favourite stars frequently smoke on screen are sixteen times more likely to have positive attitudes about smoking in the future."# Tobacco companies also try making cigarettes look cool. For example, The Simpson's. Nearly all the characters including children have been seen smoking on the show. Teens get inspired by this

On the other hand, Donald Trump’s initiative to stop the opioid crisis has to do with
limiting over-prescription, stopping illicit drug supplies, and making the recovery centers more
efficient and accessible. In more detail, he will reduce the drug demand through education,
awareness, and preventing doctors from overprescribing their patients. Finally, this is an example
of updated policies and it seems to be working. These improvements will include supporting
research and development for a vaccine to prevent opioid addiction and non-addictive pain

mean for society? The reasons aren’t so generic and many times are case-by-case, or
person-by-person, however, some of these effects from this social media mania have been shown

reveal personality traits of Green Day’s members. One can see this prevail as early as their third
studio album, Dookie, which was released in 1994. Some highlighted songs from Dookie include
“She,” a song inspired by a feminist poem; “Basket Case,” which touches on anxiety and
questioning sexuality; and “Coming Clean,” which acted as a “coming out” story for Armstrong,
who is bisexual (Fricke). Green Day’s subsequent 1995 album Insomniac features songs

cyberbullying due to anonymity, the daily exposure to an abundance shocking images, and the
false image of “perfection” that social media encourages are just a few of the excess of problems
the internet promotes. Through further research and explanation, I hope to make it clear that the
internet has great effects on a person's level of empathy.
The internet indirectly promotes the isolation of an individual. We are able to connect
with thousands of people just from the comfort of our bed. The idealization of constant internet

Unfortunately, this period is also associated with his addiction to cocaine in the late 70's. "I was always angry, throwing glasses, provoking people, really unpleasant to be around," he recalls. "I always found, no matter what anybody said, something to take offense at." (Sotinel, 70) His films during the time reflected that, with the violent Taxi Driver (1976) and Raging Bull (1980) earning him more critical acclaim despite protest from moviegoers about the violent nature of the films.

Ernest Hemingway’s Hills like White Elephants
The short story Hills like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway is a story about a man and woman who are sitting at a bar at a small train station somewhere in Spain. They seem to be having a heated conversation about a mysterious “operation”. The author never explicitly says what the issue is between the man and woman, but it can be assumed it is about a huge and personal decision they have to make because of the literary devices the author uses. Throughout the story the author hints at what the mysterious operation really is. Hemingway uses symbolism, setting, and imagery to convey

In Steely Library’s digital archives, one of the postcards from the Gilliam family collection is entitled Western Kentucky Asylum for the Insane, Hopkinsville, KY. The postcard dates back to 1915 and portrays a beautiful building, complete with red bricks and white columns. Many of the insane asylums around this time were built similarly, but even their picturesque exterior could not hide the horrors which occurred within. Insane asylums built in the early to mid 1900s were still getting on their feet, and many of them encountered problems with patient care early on

When I was a child, my late father and I would spend every moment of the summer season on
the sparkling white sand of the beach near our home. We would dance, kicking up the shiny
surface so that the droplets glimmered like diamonds in the sunlight. We would lie on our backs
and stare at the sky, until the swirling clouds began to take on our imaginative shapes mingled
together by our fantastical minds. We would grip imaginary weapons and fight, thrusting swords
like the most violent of fantasy pirates. These unforgettable days went on and on, a never ending
cycle of blue skies, imprinted forever in my mind. My earliest memories are filled with images

How much of a threat does the robotics revolution represent for human employment in New Zealand in the next 30 years?
In order to understand the threats that robotics may pose to human employment in the future, it is important to examine the ways in which robots and computerization are already influencing different employment industries today, and how they have changed our labor practices in the past. If this information is then compared with current trends and statistics in New Zealand’s employment market conclusions can be drawn about how robotics might influence New Zealand employment in the next thirty years.

A review of “Indigenous remain ‘asset rich, dirt poor’ 25 years after Mabo”.
In the article “Indigenous remain ‘asset rich, dirt poor’ 25 years after Mabo”, Indigenous affairs editor, Fitzpatrick (2017) presents the socioeconomic situation of the Aboriginal people, using the views of the former prime minister’s advisor, Josephine Cashman. Miss Cashman pointed out that the promises made to the indigenous people, presented in the Mabo case, had not been fulfilled accordingly after the year 1992. Many indigenous people still have inadequate housing, poor health, restricted education and lower average incomes. About 25 years from the Wik decision, many Aboriginals were classified under the
