Explain the meaning please Please, can someone explain me what does this phrase mean? "Instagram wants you to buy things, and it doesn’t really care whether they’re eco-friendly or not. While an influencer in 2020 could be interpreted as someone who hawks products or a particular lifestyle, when the two are combined, there’s a contradiction for those who want to make money but also want to create a brand around informing the public about climate change, which is partially caused by household consumption. "

Information Literacy Let's start with the definition of Information Literacy. It means a set of skills that helps people navigate through information overload. Information Literacy comprise four main components: 1) Authority is constructed and contextual. It's about how important to identify source reliability, which often depends on the context of the information and respect intellectual property 2) Information has value. Information serves as means of education, it can influence people all over the world. 3) Scholarship as conversation. Every single scientist has own point of view and contributes new insight to an ongoing conversation about some problem. It's important to recognize that scholars will offer different ideas and pay tribute to them when quoting from their works. 4) Searching as strategic exploration. Effective researching consist of certain strategy: forming key words, awareness of what you really need to find, etc. Also, it's important to mention that while looking through any articles in the Internet we should ask ourselves three questions: who is the author? Where did the article come from? Is it credible? First give the answers, don't rush immediately and blindly share fake and doubtful information. As a result, we can estimate it as trustworthy or not. That's the process of literate searching of information.

Professions of the future So what professions will be in a high demand in the next 10 years? First of all, the IT field: 1)Mobile applications developer Mobile development continues to generate traction across industries. And as more businesses rely on mobile technology to reach customers, demand for mobile applications developers will continue to increase. 2) Data architect While the collection of data can be automated, the translation, analysis and ability to make business recommendations based off the data is in high demand from employers.To help manage and derive value from it, businesses need skilled data architects who can translate information into specific database solutions. With time our problems with environment will become only more serious therefore we nedd the following profession: 3) Trash Engineer This may be the oddest future job but it’s by far one of the most impactful. Humans produce billions pounds of trash annually, and what do we do with it all? So we’re going to have to think about something else to do with all of our rubbish. And of course mental health and healthy lifestyle always matter, we will not do without medicine: 4) Medical Mentor As machines and robots take over the medical field by diagnosing patients and even performing surgery, a new role in the medical field will emerge - medical mentor. 5) Organ/body part creator Every 12 minutes a new name gets added onto the already long waiting list for organ donars. In a few years, it’ll be up to you to create organ and body parts from stem cells and other materials that don’t yet exist, but it's closer than you think.

21 century skills for young professionals Our world is changing so fast so that people must catch up to these changes and therefore i think one of the major skills in 21st century is an ability to learn rapidly. Nowadays we get a lot of information while studying some subjects and we also must keep our knowledge up-to-date what means to learn things fast and develop along with the modern world. The skill of 21st century number two is constant, never-ending self- improvement. What I'm trying to say is that besides learn rapidly as i already said we need to learn constantly. In your future activity and career it will surely help you because the best investment is the investment in yourself. Number three is communication. In the process of globalization when everything becomes closer and more and more ways of connection appear, people must be open to communication with each other that leads to another necessary skill - an ability to work in collaboration, because good communication skills aid partnership. Huge projects can not be made by only one person, so we need to learn working in a team with different people to achieve great results. Another one skill is creative thinking or just creativity. To my mind, it is the most valuable skill in 21st century, because only new ingenious ideas and ways of solving problems are worthy. I think this can be compared with machine and manual labour: everything made by massive production has no originality and uniqueness.

AL and Future of Humanity (It's written for the oral language exam) So, let's begin with the question What is Artificial Intelligence Exactly? AI is a machine with the ability to solve problems that are usually done by us, humans. Moreover, this machine demonstrates a form of intelligence when it learns how to improve itself at solving problems. We want these machines to learn based on their knowledge and experience, make decisions. The process of how it works consists of two major components: using algorithm to find meaning in random unordered data and the second part is using algorithms to find connection between received data and improve the learning process. For upcoming generations, the rise of artificial intelligence represents the next great solution and the next great hurdle. So, now the pace of development of AI getting faster and faster. They become more mobile, smarter and start to look like something with the brain. And once it's invented it stays invented and people must be aware of it. AI has already had huge impact on our life and will only increase. Regular reports warn us that automation will destroy our jobs or, at least, they will be redefined. But the new jobs might not appear because the machines catch up to human capabilities. As a result, due to the rapid development of AI people will lose their jobs, small part of some oligarchs, who has the AI machines will control production and industry worldwide and even then people will not comprehend the whole power of AI.

International communication International communication is not a simple thing. In my opinion, even if you speak fluently and have perfect pronunciation and grammar it may turns out that is not enough. You need to have a better understanding what culture is and how to interact with representatives of different nations and countries. When you look at someone your first impression is based on the clothes and appearance of a person, on language he or she speaks, but it's only a small part of whole his or her culture. You should go deeper in people's values, thought patterns and beliefs that represent their internal culture to understand it properly, because, for example the same term in different countries can mean different things. At the same time if you ask two persons from one culture about definite things that describe their nation, you can get two absolutely different answers and it will be fine. So the concept of culture of other people is quite vague and your notion about it will depend on your educational background, language knowledge or how familiar you are with the geographical context and government system of the country. Also, if you have ever been to this country, it, of course, will help you in communication with its natives. The last but not least thing is that we must not to resort to stereotypes because it may destroy our possible communication or it will create the wrong notion of other cultures.What we should really do is to keep open mind, ask questions without fear of misunderstanding and be fully aware of our own cultural traditions and beliefs.

information security The future of information security is changing, as the technologies we have are becoming more advanced and permeating deeper into our everyday lives. We must clearly identify these threats so that we may continue to stay safe and protected in our personal and professional lives while balancing this with the disadvantages of increased security. So what are the threats we can face? There are three types of threats: 1. Hacktivist - a computer hacker whose activity is aimed at promoting a social or political cause. These people tend to do denial service attacks or website defacement. 2. Second group consist of people who aimed at stealing money. This is fraud or theft (digital/data theft). 3. We move from the point number one to point number three - from disruption of work to its complete destruction. A lot of things changed over the last five years. We started worried about an increase in the pace sophistication and complexity of these attacks, about changes in motivation and people who became targets of cyberattacks. So, benefits of the information security are: increased flexibility, anytime access to applications, build digital connections with customers. At the same time it has the following implications, such as: authentication, securing data outside of the network and disaster recovery. As a result we must realize that everything is connected and when everybody knows everything about you, privacy is dead.

political correctness I think it's a very complicated question that disturb the nation: who can most flamboyantly claim to be offended, proclaim that their feelings and sensitivities have been hurt? Sometimes, people see rudeness where there is no it. In these cases they eagerly claim to use political correctness words but for example, if we change the names of cities, countries and universities with other words that give no offense because they have no meaning. So my ultimate objection to PC is that it doesn't actually works. What I'm trying to say is that it's better to be effective rather than be right and PC is obsessed with how right it is all the time without thinking of how efficient it might be. It's nothing to do with For example, anyone can be offended by any word but they are only words, it's the context that counts. It's the intention behind the words that makes them good or bad and it depends on who and how use them. We must acknowledge that we can't be afraid of words speaking up the truth even if they are unpleasant, for example I don't like euphemism language. i think it distorts reality but also helps people who are afraid to face the truth of life.
