A brief overview of the lives and contributions of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.
A brief overview of the lives and contributions of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.
Socrates was a great philosopher in ancient Greek Philosophy. His ideologies went against the beliefs and philosophical traditions.
He largely contributed to ethical related issues since he strongly believed in good mannerism. His views opposed greediness and misuse of power by those in authority and this serves as a lesson to those entrusted in learning government affairs.
He valued truth above everything else, human life and advocated for responsibility in the education sector. This is a positive attribute especially to those entrusted to guide and empower young generation with education since he was a role model to philosophers and loved wisdom.
He felt that if people acted morally while fulfilling their daily obligations, they would be happy regardless of their achievement or failure. He was against westernization and was sentenced to death since he was deemed as a threat by the government due to his strong belief in philosophies he advocated for.
His enormous contributions in experimental mode of learning promotes exposure of what is known and what is not and thus a trained teacher should not only facilitate learning; but rather carefully assess student’s capacity and should thus contribute to their own discovery. His point of view that “An unexamined life is not worth living” has a great impact on our society today since it offers a great teaching on how knowledge should be nurtured across board to offer practical skills and expertise that match the needs of our generation.
His view on humanity promotes a culture of mutual respect for one another regardless of the status quo to ensure that people’s rights and freedom of expression are respected and granted without being intimidated.
Plato
His real name was Aristocles and his nickname came from friends with regards to his broad shoulders. Socrates shaped many of his philosophies and was of the view that bad things should not happen to good people and he is recognized for training Aristotle.
His major contribution on experimental learning is associated with his advocacy pertaining what experimental educators should focus on with regards to holistic education. He was vocal on the two branches of education, one philosophical which meant intellectual pursuits and the other physical which meant reasonable learning. His belief that learning can, and should be enjoyable was unique since Greeks didn’t associate school with leisure.
His beliefs that moral values are universal and not absolute meant that one’s behavior is based on traits and therefore can’t be changed. This means that if westernization continues to degrade our moral values then things could go wrong at some point in life and thus should be keen enough to make wise decisions.
His viewpoint contributes to how our generation should be handled by our teachers and the society in general. Education should not confine one to a classroom torture rather it should incorporate co-curricular activities to promote psychological wellbeing of students.
More about morals and virtues, that good citizenship incorporates tendency to vote on individual basis rather than the general way based on mere campaigns so that one makes ideal and reasonable judgment independently is also learnt.
Aristotle
He was Plato’s best student and made progress to become a very well-paid tutor of Alexander the Great, and became probably the highest paid philosopher in history. He enjoyed teaching his students while walking and thought that happiness was the purpose of living.
He was nicknamed “the mind’ by Plato since he thought him as being attentive on materialistic things rather than aiming to become a sincere lover of wisdom, and they admired one another and this explores importance of friendship among scholars.
His belief in logical reasoning promotes cultivation of critical and creative thinking for evaluation of things to ensure that the best is done. This ensures that public interest is prioritized and thus people perform duties in a way that is not selfish driven for personal gains.
His prowess didn’t extend to physical exercises since he was described as being pot-bellied, thin-legged, and restless, in his early 50s since he preferred delivering lectures while taking a walk. His lifestyle has taught me on how performance is likely to be affected by fatigue and importance of incorporating physical exercises to manage stress and avoid obesity.
He was a great writer and is credited with one of the largest libraries in the Greek history since he has written over 400 works. Thus those interested in knowledge have a variety of resourceful information from this great philosopher; this is a milestone that challenges those who inspire to be great philosophers of our time. His best idea from “The Golden Mean” which means avoid extremes is inspiring and helps us improve our morals, values and teach us these fundamental ethical issues that are necessary for humanity wellbeing.

Effect of Social Networking Sites on Romantic Relationships
Part 1
It is undeniable that social networking sites such as Facebook and Instagram have had an immense effect on romantic relationships. We live in a digital era where everything is linked to the internet in one way or another. Everything we do in communication is somehow linked to the internet. The emergence of the internet paved the way for social media applications to communicate and socialize. Social media applications have both positive and negative effects on romantic relationships.
I feel that it is possible and impossible to keep a relationship private on social media platforms. I feel that the decision solely depends on an individual. While some people prefer to keep their relationships away from social media, some individuals are okay with posting their partners on social media. I feel it is best to keep romantic relationships away from social media as I am more reserved. I’m not particularly eager to parade my other half on social media because I believe that it helps avoid unnecessary attention from netizens, which can sometimes have a negative effect on a relationship. I think privacy matters because it keeps the parties involved from outside interference from third parties. I believe that a relationship is between two people; hence there is no need to keep posting each other on social media for everybody to see and that what matters is our commitment to each other.
Without a doubt, social networking sites such as Facebook and Instagram have brought more opportunities for infidelity and cheating. When partners use social media such as Instagram and Facebook, they are likely to interact and virtually meet with many people. Applications such as Instagram are photograph and video applications, meaning they are rather visual. Engagements on Instagram are through features such as likely, commenting, and reacting. This gives the users an almost a real interaction experience with their followers. Additionally, society has transformed so much that people are moving towards using subscription services applications where people post explicit content. This kind of exposure increases the chances of cheating among spouses. In my opinion, the only benefit of social media when it comes to social media is the preservation of memories. In most cases, people who parade their relationships on social media to prove points to people or to chase fame rarely have lasting relationships. However, if they do it for the right reasons, they are likely to have a lasting relationship. They can post photos and videos as a digital album to remind them about their relationships in years to come.

A Brief History And Current Formats

Introduction
Television in several parts of the globe has evolved into a new era. This is as a result of an exceptional intersection of contemporary transmission and reception technologies, innovative structures of financing, new ways of imagining the viewers, novel outlines of content and innovative constructions of the television as a commodity (Womack 49).
A Brief History And Current Formats As an assistant floor managerAs an assistant floor manager in an evening magazine show, the practical experience was most fascinating. This role entails new learning and analysis of skills, theory, structures and roles in relation to the production process and team working. It is noteworthy that the TV production field has a rich history that is greatly inspiring. The surfacing of format programming has facilitated other capitals like Amsterdam, Berlin and London, to rise to eminence. Television genres included talent contests, game shows, home and self-improvement programs, as well as hidden-camera documentaries. They have currently evolved into centralized types of programming output. These program forms emphasize the capacity of the average person to appear on television and are an ingredient of the neoliberal zeitgeist (Bolter 205).
As an assistant floor manager, I have come to appreciate the perspective of Cury (105), that there are several interconnected elements of a planetary structure that are complexly interconnected and changing. First, the media industry component is composed of seven massive transnational corporations that are supplemented by additional conglomerates with strong regional transactions or those with that have worldwide reach focus on niche markets. Secondly, there is the technological infrastructure in the structure of global communication networks that embrace satellite, cable, as well as the Internet. This maintains and facilitates the functions of these organizations. In addition, there is the entertainment and news content as well as associated services and data that circulate throughout the system. Finally, there is a worldwide regulatory regime that embraces various worldwide bodies, trade and technical agreements, and legal verdicts and ordinances.
Several autonomous television companies have graduate openings, which function on an individual corporation basis. These companies are likely to advertise on their websites, in the Broadcast magazine or in the local press. I attribute my appointment as an assistant floor manager for the evening magazine show to the fact that, the development of cable as well as satellite television has generated numerous opportunities throughout the entertainment and television industry. However, current trends in the field of programming may result into a reduction in the necessity for floor managers. In the event that opportunities crop up, appointments for the position of floor managers are made for every production on an ad hoc basis. Direct entry into the industry as a floor manager is rare and one should be ready to assume an administrative position in television to acquire understanding of the industry. In my experience in the television industry, I have come to realize that the broadcasting industry has a history of programs to promote professions in the industry to poorly represented groups, particularly ethnic minorities.
Current format programs. Working as an assistant floor manager I realized that it requires an extensive knowledge of every TV related job. In particular the jobs on the studio floor therefore armed with my training, I have been able to have a firm grip of numerous technical areas. In this regard I concur that my training also assisted me in developing my people skills that are fundamental when I would work as component of a team. I realized from first hand experience that, in format programs what is aired may be a new program fashioned in a different territory and employing the format of the original as a type of template that would facilitate in directing the remaking of the version.
For instance, the format for The Block (Channel Nine), an Australian-developed series transmits extensive information as well as advice for prospective producers in other locations on the globe. The format package contains financing guidelines relating to the costs of purchasing the property for makeover. Obviously, the elements included in a format package vary significantly depending on the genre, program, and time (Womack 49).
The legalities of production management and entertainment. The initial task in TV and entertainment production is to choose and initiate a business entity for the production. This is important regardless of the production. The rationale of creating and utilizing a business entity is to look forward to four principal areas. These areas include financing, control, taxation, and liability. Control entails to the way in which the producer plans to maintain and manage control of the project. This involves issues such as ownership of the intellectual property. It also entails ownership of the right of management of the financial, creative, and commercial aspects of the project. Financing entails the source of funds for the production including interaction with investors. Liability in this case entails the obligations accrued by the production as well as the producer’s individual liability for those obligations. Taxation refers to tax benefits. All these issues must be considered as a component of developing a Television project. In determining the appropriate entity for the project, I would engage the services of an attorney, accountant, or someone conversant with the burdens and benefits of each kind of entity (Bolter 350).
Cross platform consideration. In general, a core advantage of implementing a multi-platform method is the capacity to garner economies of scale as well as the scope. This means being able to switch content across several windows and for a longer duration of time. It refers to the extent to which several varieties of content and audience segments are more fitting than others towards exploiting on the interactive character of multi-platform digital circulations. The reaction of broadcasters to multi-platform prospects is persuaded by their status as public or commercial service entities. Cross platform or multi-platform distribution may contribute towards choice and diversity as well as promote standardization around popular and safe brands and themes (Womack 72).
Formats and Saturday nights Shows. As an assistant floor manager my role was to liaise and co-ordinate between the several people who were involved in any production. These would include guests such as the Director Mariam Al Sakrkal to the Show, the audience, and the presenters. I had to carry out a thorough research prior to bringing the director into the Saturday night show. This is because, as my job would entail, I had to ensure that events occur according to a stipulated plan. I also had to ensure that the participants understood their specific roles and how their roles fit in with the events taking place in the studio. I also had the responsibility for guaranteeing that all participants perceived the studio as a safe working environment.
A television program format refers to a set of industry resources and know-how that facilitates the production and development of a television program in another location and time. What may be marketed and disseminated is not a complete program but relatively a body of accompanying resources and knowledge that will assist in the remaking of a program. The format, subsequently, is a multifaceted, all-inclusive organization of materials which may guide and aid in the makeover of a previous version of a program. This is utilized to create a later version that would be more appropriate for a specific television industry and its domestic audiences in another location on the globe. The format program is created, developed and broadcasted in a single television market. Once this takes place, there is a prospect to authorize a re-broadcast of the program in different parts of the globe (Cury 201). The Saturday night shows may reach its audience better since the audience is more liable to understand if a narrative seems more applicable due to the manner in which it is told.
CONCLUSION
My advice for people who anticipate working in the capacity of floor managers is that, they may only pursue the career if they actually desire it. As is the case with a majority of media jobs, it can appear glamorous externally, but it is extremely competitive. It is highly probable that one may need to volunteer in order to acquire the requisite initial contacts. Through its accomplishment, Saturday night live fashioned a culture in which a Saturday night show like The Daily Show can survive and succeed and formulate the next advancement of the service that Saturday night live has and maintains to perform.
