Children and the Media - Kids and technology (Special edition)
Children and the media - kids and Technology combo - The need for limits by Hearts and Minds Media
Kids and Technology - Nature vs Nurture?
It seems these days that kids are operating electronic devices such as smartphones practically moments after being born. Just take a look around any local playgroup or playground: You'll be likely to see kids as young as 2 or even younger clutching mom or dad's phone to play games or view videos. When it comes to technology, kids are not only starting to use it at a younger age but are using it in more varied situations, both at home and at school. The media machine is changing daily utilising new technologies to stimulate, surprise and saturate not only older but the next generation on new methods of living and experiencing life. It is a force to be reckoned with, with the ability to influence actions and behaviour at least through modelling behaviour leading to desensitisation towards sex, violence with the verbal content of this new medium. The BBFC for example is the UK watchdog towards inappropriate content in film and TV which refrains from following its own standards of content rarely cutting or removing a film from the UK market (10 films only banned in the past 10 years; BBFC, 2017)
Kids and Technology - Nature vs Nurture?
Media and digital devices are an integral part of our world today. The benefits of these devices, if used moderately and appropriately, can be great. But, research has shown that face-to-face time with family, friends, and teachers plays a pivotal and even more important role in promoting children's learning and healthy development. Keep the face-to-face up front, and don't let it get lost behind a stream of media and tech.
EDUCATION - "First-hand experiences... can help to make subjects more vivid and interesting for
pupils and enhance their understanding... [and] could make an important contribution to pupils'
future economic wellbeing and to preparing them for the next stage of their lives." (Ofsted, 2008)
HEALTH AND WELLBEING - "Children increase their physical activity levels when outdoors and are
attracted to nature... All children with ADHD [Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder] may benefit
from more time in contact with nature..." (Bird, 2007)
PERSONAL AND SOCIAL SKILLS - "Experience of the outdoors and wild adventure space has the
potential to confer a wide range of benefits on young people... Development of a positive self-image,
confidence in one's abilities and experience of dealing with uncertainty can be important in helping
young people face the wider world and develop enhanced social skills.". It identifies four specific types of impact: COGNITIVE IMPACTS - concerning knowledge, understanding and
other academic outcomes. AFFECTIVE IMPACTS - encompassing attitudes, values, beliefs and selfperceptions. INTERPERSONAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS - including communication skills, leadership and
teamwork. PHYSICAL AND BEHAVIOURAL IMPACTS - relating to physical fitness, physical skills,
personal behaviours and social actions. Looking more closely at cognitive impacts, "both students
and their teachers reported increases in knowledge and understanding as a result of experiences in
the outdoor classroom. Whenever students were asked about their learning, they were generally able to explain something that they had seen, learned or understood on the visits... Developments in knowledge and understanding appeared to be from across a range of cognitive domains" (Dillon et
al, 2005).

EDEA8K?M1
EDEAS8k?M carefully selects in this document the maritime market analysis that has been created by its representative Jose Maria Candina, highlighting those that have received the most impact from their attentive readers in the networks, where some of their analyzes have reached more than 25 thousand visits. We believe that compiling all this analysis and presenting it as a yearbook of ideas is necessary since we think it can be useful to understand more deeply one of the most important economic sectors in the world, such as the maritime world,
It shows that the Corporate social responsability is obligation of all, preventive CSR goes from Cost Saving Responsability (CSR) to stating areas of improvement worldwide and sea can be an example as 1.5 millon carry 90% goods 60K ships. Just the public system in Spain uses 40k cars, USA 400, and a business man gets deduction only up to 25kEUR , 50% vat which is completely discrimination as a entrepreneur provides utility and public system is just a COST in digital era.
Through its in-depth analysis of its global presence with offices in more than ten countries around the world such as Spain, Morocco, Chile, Baltic, Peru, Romania, Honduras, Indonesia, Ukraine, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Panama and recently Singapore has made JM Candina a privileged partner, located in the front row, able to take into account the special characteristics of the market, its personnel, its legal, technical, logistical, trade and production aspects and, of course, its Geographical areas of commerce, with the intention of offering a global vision of what is trade in the maritime market, and its concentration and dispersion of fleets.

Just Stop Worrying
From the outside, I appeared to be an average boy. I had a great family and good friends. I played sports and loved video games. However, it was what I was hiding on the inside that made living each day absolutely exhausting. I had anxiety.
Today, I am a husband, teacher, and friend living and loving a life that is free of the restraints of anxiety. It wasn't always that way. I secretly suffered from anxiety for over a decade, beginning in sixth grade and following me well into my college years. I constantly worried about everything, ranging from sports to academics to girls. I had no confidence. I was always sick. My body was always tired and sore. Negative thoughts ruled in my mind. I avoided social situations like the plague. Worst of all, I never told anybody about it until my senior year of high school. I must now live with the regrets of missing out on so much throughout high school and college.
That is exactly why I decided to write this book. I want to help as many kids as I can who are going through some of the things that I did. If you think that you are living with anxiety, I hope you find comfort in knowing that you aren't alone or crazy. I have walked in your shoes, I know exactly what it's like, and better yet, I made it out of it. Now I'm going back in and taking more people with me.
I am not a psychologist. I am not an author. I'm just a normal guy who lived with and overcame anxiety. I don't have a magic cure. I don't have years of research. I just have my story and I hope it helps you.
