Possession ?

You thought I didn't talk on my blog ? Why did I do that ? I need to express myself and today I would like to talk about violence on the Internet, just to have another point of view. In fact, I already talked about this issue. But I didn't analyse one point. Indeed, violence on the Internet can really have an influence on people ?
There are many examples which illustrate two opinions : "the influence exist or doesn't exist".

First, we can talk about killings in a secondary school in Finland. Matti Juhani Saari, the culprit, created a blog. He used it to broadcast violent images, purposes. He said he was captivated by violence. Psychologists explained that he was influenced by néo-nazis websites. Moreover, he said on his blog he wanted to imitate some movies he watched on thie Internet.
This can illustrate the idea of influence.

In fact, researches revealed that violent images on the media increased fear, aggressive behavior, and it reduces our sensitiveness when we see other violent images as if violence was "normal".

We can take a look at some incredible websites. One permited choosing TV animators. In this case, internet users had to explain how they would like to kill them. Now it is closed. www.whowouldyoukill.com/
We also know that 60% of the 11/12 years old boys like websites such as http://www.gorezone.net/ or http://www.rotten.com/ which show us real images about tortures and mutilations.

In my opinion, the influence exists. In fact, there is the phenomenon of "imitation" but the influence depends on three things :
- age.
- personnality.
- if you stay a lot on the Internet, or not.

Give me the Internet key ! I have to go !

It was just an adventure. A "big brother" adventure. 1 micro and 13 cameras. We were filmed during 32 hours in a little english class. It was like a reality show but with a lot differences.

It was interesting to work like that. I had the impression to work more than if I had "classical teachings" but it's also strange because I've not the habit of learning english thanks to this process.

It symbolizes also the evolve of teachings. The Internet evolves so a lot of social aspects evolve too.

It was my first blogue and I realize that I enjoy expressing myself thanks to this means.
I'll think that I'll create a website or another blogue because It's really funny.
So :
- "It was a real human adventure" **
- "I thank my public" **
Hum....But who is the winner ?
** These are classical sentences used by all contestants in all reality shows

The Web in my future

The Internet is a media which evolves quickly. We can imagine a lot of uses in the future. In fact, if the Internet evolves, uses too. In this post, it's like "new years"... These are my "new resolutions" for using Internet in my future.

- Chatting a lot !
Firstly, I just want to talk about uses in my private life. I'm sure that I'll continue to chat with people in order to meet them. As a matter of fact, I chat since two years and I think it's really interesting to get in touch with people like that. Maybe, I'll meet more persons. Moreover, it's really interesting to understand their behavior on the Internet. It's like a psychological phenomenon.

- Being more famous !
Then, I really want to create a website about me. It's not narcissism ! Indeed, I just want to create a buzz around me to develop a kind of "fame" but the word is too "hard". I don't want to sell my body on the Internet to be more "fame". I want to create a real content, maybe around medias. I think it could be an interesting experience to understand the process of media coverage.

- Madness
Finally, I'm dominated by my imagination. Thanks to the Internet, I'll hope there will be a kind of magic which permit us having the ubiquity donation !
Even if it exists in the Internet (We can speak with a lot of people, exchange different informations...) I'll hope it will be possible physically. :) A joke...

Internet in my job

Internet can be used in our professional life. In other words, we can use e-culture and communication in our job, for our work.

- Basis
The use depends on the job I’ll do. If I work in an audiovisuel company, for a television program, I can use it to find some pieces of information about a subject I’ll treat.

For example, if I’ll work for a theme like “the anorexia”, I’ll have to find some figures about this subject. Then, I can communicate with our witnesses who participate to the television program.

In this case, the Internet can be used to keep contact with our witnesses. I remember an internship where I really used the Internet to exchange informations about witnesses. Thanks to the e-mail, they sent us pictures of them for the program.

-Imagine I'll work as a "free-lance"
These are the basis of using the Internet in my job.
However, we can take more examples. In some jobs, we only have to work on the web. If I work as a "free-lance", the Internet will be my main tool. I can create a website. In this case, all day long I will be on the Internet to update news for example.

The Internet will be a many-sided tool in my professional life.
We just have to respect some rules. Even if the Internet give us the impression that we can exchange all informations, sometimes, we have to respect some private informations.

Finding a job thanks to the Internet

Internet can be used in our private life. However, it could be used in our professional life to find a job. Thanks to this means, I would like to find a job.
In order to reach this goal, I would like to use some special websites like “Monster”:
http://www.monster.fr/
First, I’ll have to find a job announce in order to answer it. I’ll send a CV with a motivation letter. I already use this process to find an internship. It offers great opportunities.

Moreover there are other means to find a job on the Internet. As a matter of fact, I can go to all companis’ websites to send spontaneous candidature to apply to a job. In this case, I just have to find the adress of an employee to send an e-mail.

Finally, I can create a blog and a CV on-line in order to make a buzz around different companies. For example, I can use our wiki in English if I want to find a job abroad.

Correction of the text

Currently, I work in a company which has 65 employees. It is located in Paris in the 15th arrondissement in the street named "Rue Maubert". Its goal is to commercialize children’s softwares.

It receives a grant from the state to hire young interns. That is how I received my job which is titled "executive". At the first time, my job’s title was "marketing manager", but I changed job.


We sell a range of products with the brand "Youngsoft". We have many charges associated with marketing. Our posting in the metro is one of the most expensive. Our PR department also has a very large budget. We realize our own ads with our redaction staff, and we make our own edition of user manuals.

Our quarterly results for this year have been all very positive. Our market is very interesting right now, and that is why we gain funds.

We want to commercialize our products in Tahiti because we think metropolitan customers would be interested in buying them.

To resume, thanks to our positive deontology and interesting market niche, we’ll have a rosy future.

Internet as a saviour

Today, we have to make a point about e-culture. On this blog, I wrote different posts about this Internet characteristic. We have to remember that e-culture is the symbol of free culture. In other words, it means that we can have access to the culture without paying anything.
It’s also a means to broadcast a lot of news and it can be used to sort out a major international problem.

- Global warming
In fact, we can take the example of global warming which is a serious issue. It concerned everybody. That’s why, more and more companies use this tool to communicate about climate change. We can quote a not for profit company which name is “climate change solutions”:
www.climate-change-solutions.co.uk/contact.php . This is only a web platform. It has different goals :
- Developing and promoting sustainable local and global climate change solutions.
- Developing a broad based public, private and community partnership with a view to maximising engagement and participation of the mainstream in local and global climate change solutions.


- Internet : a means to solve a problem
To my mind, this kind of process can solve a major international problem. As a matter of fact, Internet is a real tool to create proximity with people. It can touch our intimate sphere even if it deals with a public problem. This is a means to give us a sense of responsibility.


- Creating a "transparency strategy"
Moreover, different means are used to reach this goal. In fact, global warming is a complex issue so it has to generalize it to be more popular. In fact, Internet is a good tool to create a transparency strategy. For global warming, this strategy is necessary because it permits explaining a difficult issue which has a lot of scientist concepts.


- Participation of people
Finally, Internet is a good means to increase people in actions. It means that they can participate to the struggle against global warming. It creates a community because we know that Internet is an interactive place.
