The utilization of the social media destinations is developing quickly to interface with the networks and to share the thoughts among others. It might happen that a large portion of the general population disdain the thoughts of others individual perspectives and utilize their posts. Because of these hostile terms, numerous individuals particularly youth and young people endeavor to embrace which may fundamentally influence the others individual are honest personalities. As hostile terms progressively use by the general population in profoundly way, it is hard to discover or characterize such hostile terms in genuine day-to-day life. To defeat from this issue, the proposed system dissects the offensive words and can group the hostile sentence on a specific topic dialog utilizing the SVM as managed arrangement in the information mining. The proposed system additionally can locate the potential client by methods for which the hostile language spread among others and characterize the proportional analysis of SVM with Naive Bayes procedure. The proposed structure goes about as a screening instrument that cautions the customer about such messages

Media Platform

Based on Roberto Saviano's book Gomorra (2006), production of the TV series Gomorra – La serie (2014) was met with scepticism as many feared it would glamorise organised crime and, consequently, attract young people toward Camorra affiliation. The series' bleak portrayal of criminals and criminality was offered as a response to such concerns. Despite the preoccupations, Gomorra – La serie was hugely successful and, because of its quality, was sold to other countries. In Italy, the series' success can be measured by the popularity of its Twitter hashtag #GomorraLaSerie. Engaged with Henry Jenkins' theories of media convergence and based on a corpus of tweets bearing this official hashtag, this article proposes a quantitative analysis and advances conclusions regarding the Italian TV audience and second-screen viewing practices. Additionally, through a qualitative study of Saviano's tweets about the series, it examines the writer's use of the social media platform as a tool of narrative continuity. Finally, the article highlights a few examples of fan-generated media and concludes with remarks regarding Saviano's problematic position at the centre of a transmedia object.

The 19Th Century

While at the end of the 19th century grimacing was considered a symptom of schizophrenia, and pulling faces was regarded as an assault on the decency and reliability of facial features, grimacing has become a frequent practice on social media today. My argument will be that the distorted physiognomy of Facebook users features ready-made expressions that do not correspond with any deeply felt psychic reality. There is nothing essential about the contractions of the facial muscles enacted by these members of the social media community. They are playing, trying out poses, and emulating already approved face farces. My thesis is that by performing these grimaces young people create a reality of surplus and excess which they would otherwise miss. If everyone is supposed to enjoy him/herself to the fullest, then the excessively grimacing party manages to communicate this effectively. Grimacing has become a performative act of talking or photographing oneself into a feeling of high life. To prove my point, I will do a close-reading of a commercial that most recently appeared on billboards in Vienna, depicted a young woman performing one of the standard grimaces. The verbal message said, “Do not just stand but pose,” implying that the model is given credit for the extra effort that “posing” requires. Subsequently, her figure morphs into the classic disciplined body, well known as one of the main battle zones of economic interests and power plays.

The present study relates to the analysis of attribute data related to users of the social network VK. The general population N = 52,614 users is the intersection of audiences from two communities for social media marketing. Based on the collected statistics on the “interests” attribute, one can compile a generalized portrait of an IT specialist and online marketer: this is a man aged about 30 years old, not married, or who defines his family status as “everything is complicated”. He speaks an average of two languages, works for an organization, or studies at a university. He has about 370 followers on VK. The result based on the data from the field 'activities' is very close to the data from the field 'interests', and gives a similar picture of the generalized portrait of a specialist. As part of the study, the authors have learned how to segment users into the users that identify themselves as „IT specialists or online marketers‟, and „other‟ users, using machine learning methods

A socio-pedagogical study,Poznań 2018. The fight for an approval and innovatory ideas for a happy partnership life (which hasbeen observed in my research on biographies of relationships) does not entirely come from “free”choices. Therefore, we may conclude that to some extent the culture of narcissism has an impact ona quality of relationships and relations between people in general. In the wider context, the articletries to provide an answer to the question of transgression of common responsibility for a success ora failure in relations between people. Interpersonal contacts are increasingly controlled or created bythe market as well as the world of technicization. As a result, their character is changed into shorttermrelations where only an Ego of individuals is promoted and general narcissism culture is spread.Pedagogues are concerned about building identity of young people mostly in social media accordingto the phrase Selfie ergo sum. Pedagogy cannot ignore the influence of media on the social developmentof teenagers (which includes their sexual development, too). To prevent the acquisition of negativepatterns, an educational program needs to be proposed which will teach a critical approach to socialmedia and help build sustained interpersonal relations.

Cyberchondria is a blend of the words cyber and hypochondriac. Social isolation with easily available information on the Internet for little or no cost created a havoc. It is an abnormal behavioral pattern in the emotional state. There were hundreds of social media groups created during the pandemic. Many people including the healthcare workers started sharing their experiences, positive and negative. It created a lot of anxiety and depression among the general population. As we already know people with anxiety and depression react and respond more to information available online without verifying the facts. Though the social media groups helped the readers with innumerable information but it had its flaws. Patients with cyberchondria increased and also the burden on healthcare systems.

This paper analyses the social and technical context in which young people create and maintain social media profiles. The analysis was based primarily on ten semi-structured hour-long interviews conducted with MySpace users—all young people between 16 and 19 years of age from two UK schools, supplemented by a questionnaire and examination of the texts they produced. An overview is given of the nature of the profiles created by the interviewees. The process of profile creation and maintenance is then placed in the wider context of the uses of MySpace as described by those interviewed, and some of the influences which appear to have shapedwhat was produced are outlined. In the conclusion, the implications of the manner in which these practices are shaped for institutions involved in digital storytelling are explored.

A média és az információs technológia egyre fontosabb szerepet játszik az életünkben, különösképpen a fiatal generációk számára vált nélkülözhetetlenné a kommunikáció, a tanulás és a kapcsolattartás terén. Az előnyök mellett azonban számos probléma is felmerül, többek között a túlzott használat következtében jelentkező függőség. Bár az internet-, az okostelefon- és a közösségimédia-használat és –függőség között vannak átfedések, érdemes külön is megvizsgálni ezek sajátosságait. Jelen tanulmányban ezért az okostelefon-függőség és -használat mellett megnéztük, hogyan függ össze ez a jelenség a közösségimédia-használattal és annak jellemzőivel. Online felmérésünkben 14 és 30 év közötti fiatalok szerepeltek (N = 244 fő; 66% lány, átlagéletkoruk 23,1 év, szórás 3,4). Eredményeink szerint az okostelefon- és közösségimédia-függőségre leginkább a használat időtartama hajlamosít, főként az okoseszköz kényelmessége, könnyű elérhetősége, szórakoztató jellege miatt. Az okostelefonok használata szinte univerzális, bár bizonyos alkalmazásokat a lányok (például Pinterest) kedvelnek, míg a játékokat a fiúk. A korral a használat és a függőség is csökken. --- Several characteristics of smartphone and the social network use based on an online survey among young people The media and information technology play an increasingly important role in our lives, they have become necessary, particularly for young people in the fields of communication, education and connections. However, alongside the advantages a number of problems have also started to emerge, one being addiction due to excessive use. Although there are overlaps among internet, smartphone, and social media use and addictions, it is worth examining their characteristics separately. The present study focused on smartphone use and addiction, and we also detected how these might interact with social media use and their features. In this online survey participants were young people aged between 14 and 30 years (N = 244; 66 per cent females, mean age = 23.1 years, S.D. = 3.4). Our results suggest that the time period itself is accountable for smartphone and social media addictions especially due to the convenience, and easy-to-reach and entertaining nature of the smart device. The smartphone use is universal, although some applications are preferred more by girls (e.g., Pinterest) or boys (online games). Both use and addiction tend to decrease with age.
