How do you know that you became addicted to Facebook.

Recently, people became depend too much on the technology. In different ways, some people spend a lot of time using technology even if they don't need that. One of these was is using Facebook. Obviously, there are a lot of disadvantages, but I won't talk about that. As I mentioned before, who is the addicted to Facebook.

At least in my perspective, there are 3 things prove that you became an addicted.

First, whenever you sign out, immediately you feel that you really need to sign in again. Second, you ignore big part of your typical life, social life, and work life to spent time on Facebook. Third, you become worried , sad, and think a lot about it when you cannot use Internet and sign in.

In fact, I'm not addicted to it. However, I Know many people are addicted. They're online 24/7. They use it in classes, buses, trains, malls, and houses.

Now, are you addicted to Facebook? If so, why?

Thank you  :)

Zidane

Hi everyone ,

ZiZO.. his full name is Zinedine Yazid Zidane. He was born on June 23,1972 in France. His parents are form Algeria, and he is Muslim. Since I was born I haven't seen a soccer player like him. In fact, he considered one of the greatest player in the history of soccer. It was a big surprise when many people  in worldwide voted to choose him as the best European player for last 50 years until 2006. There is no doubt he was. Moreover, he had won FIFA World Player of the Year - 1998, 2000, 2003, and other over 35 different prizes.
He had played in France, Italy, and Spain with 5 different teams. Cannes and Girondins Bordeaux in France, Juventus in Italy, and in Spain with Real Madrid. In total he played over 680 games, and he scored 128 goals. In addition, he had played with France international team over 100 games, and he scored 31 goals. He had scored many important goals. However, in my opinion the most important two goals he had scored were in the final match in World CUB 1998 against Brazil Team. There are no words that can express how I felt at that time.
 Here is the goals.

This amazing player has several fantastic characteristics that made me LOVE him. He never gave up during games. For example, in EURO 2004 France vs England the score of the game was France 0-1 England until last minute 90'. In the three add time Zidane scored two goals , and put French Team in the front.
Here is the summary of the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FpZI_ODSU4&feature=related :1min

Also, He is clever, flexible, and an accurate player. He can control the ball incredibly, and he is good at free kicks. I won't explain or give examples, this video shows you why I LOVE him. Enjoy watching :)

Thank you

My Neighborhood

Hi everyone ,

I'm here after a week full of midterm exams :) so far so good.

My neighborhood in Saudi Arabia is totally different than my neighborhood in Canada. First of all, in my neighborhood in my country we live in such an age categories, old people together, young together, and kids together. At the same time, everyone knows each other old, young, and kids. We always take care of each other. For example, when someone of our neighbors is sick, we visit them, make food for them, and take care of their children if it necessary. On the contrary, I live in a home stay in North East  of Calgary. My home stay father has been living in the same place for over 15 years. Although, he knows few neighbors. I was surprised, but I thought that was because of his personality. So far I have been living in this neighborhood for about 7 months. I even don't know my neighbor's name :( 

I see them drive their cars when I go to school in the morning or when I come back home every day. Almost there is no connection between neighbors in this neighborhood.

I'm wondering what some causes of this situation?!

Does anyone have faced like this situation?!

Thank you :)

Spanking Children

Hi everybody ~

                I would like to discuss this controversial topic. Spanking Children. Maybe most of us don't have kids. However, I think it’s very important for us, because one day in the future we’ll have kids ((in sha’a  Allah)). We live in an atmosphere full of things that can intervene in raising children such as technology, media…etc. Raising children and discipline are really related together.  Because sometimes  kids make mistakes and misbehave so, their parents have to teach them what’s right and wrong. Therefore, sometimes parents need to punish  their  kids. The question is what is the most effective method. There are many methods of discipline. One of them is Spanking. I would like to talk about Spanking because it’s illegal in Canada !!   J

  As I mentioned spanking is illegal in Canada; however many people use spanking at least not in front of people or at public areas. Spanking  could be useful or harmful depends on how people use it. Some people misunderstand the meaning of spanking. Actually, they think they love their kids but, they hurt them. Spanking could be effective at good way under two conditions. First, it must not be harmful. Second, people have to tell their kids why they have been spanking. If people follow these two conditions, I think spanking could be useful.

My parents had been spanking me many times but, It doesn’t mean I was bad boy  kkkk J. Now answer this question telling us your opinion.

Do you think spanking is good way especially in this generation full of Technology, Media, and Internet?

Thank you
