Traffic Accidents

Traffic accidents is one of the most important issues that discussed in daily newspapers. Because of its importance and spreading, it has a special corner in every newspaper. Speed and careless are the main causes of traffic accidents. Although police always try to aware people not to drive their cars without concentration, most of them did not care about these instructions. For example, many people in Arab world ignore using the seat belt because they believe that it is an unimportant tool to use for safety; whereas, people in western world cannot drive without using the seat belt because of their belief that it is the main factor to protect them in traffic accidents. Mass Media should raise the people awareness about that dangerous problem that we suffer a lot from it by holding seminars in T.V, writing articles and reports in newspapers & magazines, and discussing this issue by interviewing drivers, policemen, and experts in traffic accidents in radio.

The Ethics of Journalism

Since the press is right, so it has rights and duties. Rights, are to show broad freedom of expression, with the knowledge that freedom is not absolute because it defines the freedoms of others, and the duty is to be committed to the press responsibility, which is based on community service, through the respect for its culture, social status, and nationality. Without doubt that there is a relationship between freedom and responsibility. If the freedom is not associated with responsibility it can be exposed to misrepresentation and fraud, or even publish the news that does not fit with the community. In my opinion, if the freedom is lost then the responsibilities are impossible to apply. The world, especially the mass of media must have a special document or news system that save these two attributes (freedom and responsibility), and this can be with the availability of the means to achieve the desired goals.The term journalistic ethics is not newly, it appeared in 1916 in Sweden then in France after two years of publishing this term.

Ads Determine the Children Choices of Food, and Affect their Characters Negatively

Parents may have authority over their children`s choices of food but they should not forget that there is another thing that compete them over this authority. Surely, it is the ads that its authority is not less than the authority of parents, and I think that the authority of advertisements exceeds the authority of parents because of its attractiveness and creativity ways to convince children including eating and drinking in the various television stations and means of display of television banners and pictures in the streets, stadiums, movie theaters and shopping centers. In my opinion, health authorities should organize campaigns to raise awareness of the seriousness of an outbreak of childhood obesity because of the unhealthy diets and lack of parental guidance. Parents should prevent their children from watching T.V for long periods, and avoid putting the T.V in the children bedrooms.

Unique Channel

Surely, not all channels that launched on T.V are useful, successful, and lovable by people. National Geographic channel is one of the most amazing channels in the Middle East region. It is a very useful channel that involves a variety of programs in different fields such as, scientific field, cultural field, historical field, and natural field. It launched in 1^st September, 1997, and it is a successful channel since it always has exclusive programs, new films, and an attractive documentaries. The most important factor that made this channel one of the most unique ones is that it is a lovable channel by viewers all over the world (Europe, Latin America, North America, Middle East, and Africa)

The Spread of Social Networks

Since I live in Sharjah, I should across sheikh Zayid road every day. One day when I looked outside, I noticed an attractive advertisement for HTC Mobiles that have a special button for a social network “Facebook”. Really I was shocked from it! I remembered how we communicated with our family and friends in the past. Many years ago there was no any different way to communicate with your family and friends unless you see them face to face. Day to day, the communication skills were improved effectively until the social networks appeared and cancelled all the prior communication ways. For example, nowadays it is enough to write “Happy Birthday” for someone`s birthday on his/her profile instead of going and saying it to him/her face to face.  



Addiction of Blackberry

While I was setting in the cafeteria at the university, talking, and enjoying my break with my friends, I noticed a student wore a unique blouse which indicated that he is a sociable person. Surely, he is a fan of Blackberry world, and wants to know more fans from this world by getting there pin code to enjoy communicating with new people. Also, it is a possibility that he is in a challenge with one of his friends to have more contacts in their Blackberry messenger. Maybe he is a new fan of Blackberry world and he is excited to know more about this application (Blackberry Messenger) by adding more people to ask them about it.
