Your Best Friend

We are strong believers in the product that Boat U.S. provides. From Boat insurance, boat loans, MMSI registration, boat logo design to towing services.

I have been a member for 25 years and have used the MMSI registration services, which are easy to do. I have also been able to utilize the expert advice area to solve a number of questions and issues I have had over the years. I am also an unlimited towing customer, which gives me great piece of mind while out cruising. Although, I have never had to use it, I do know a number of people who have used their services with and without the insurance coverage. Those without  coverage have paid a dear price to get towed in.

Security System Apparition SM XVR   GPS by GOST

Boats are one of the most expensive things you can buy. For this reason, boats are often stolen to be sold for money, or even just kept for personal use. Your home probably has a security system and your car is probably police-traceable (if not go get those installed!), so why shouldn’t your boat be kept safe in the same way? The GOST Apparition SM XVR GPS is an anti-theft device designed specifically for boats. The package is equipped with a very loud mini marine siren that will go off when the boat leaves the dock without a key. It also contains a GPS that tracks your boat so that it can be found quickly if stolen. There is also a security monitoring system to record activity in case you need footage of a robbery attempt.

For more product information, visit the https://gostglobal.com

Safety Kit ELCI Adapter   Kit by Hubbell

Falling off a dock is more common than you may think. As if drowning isn’t bad enough of a risk, a stray electrical current in the water is a concern that many people don’t think about. In a marina there is tons of power going around and surrounding the water, so the risk is always there. ELCI Adapter Kits are a simple and proactive solution, which will automatically shut off any power supply when activity is detected. The kits contain a shore power inlet, along with matching shore power inlet housings, and mounting adapter plates.

Top 5 Accessories and Gear to Have on Your Powerboat

After buying the powerboat of your dreams, the next thing to think about is getting some accessories and gears for your boat. Some accessories are required by law for your boat while the others are recommended to make your experience better. There are also some gears that are useful to have. When exploring state lines with your powerboat in Sanford FL, make sure you check that you are in line with the requirements of the state that you are travelling to.

Here are some of our top picks of accessories and gear to have on your powerboat in Sanford FL.

1. Lifejackets

The important of this cannot be overstated for obvious reasons. You are required by law to have 1 lifejacket on your boat for each passenger. It is good practice to make sure you have enough lifejackets to match the maximum number of passengers that your boat can carry. This way, you are always compliant with this legal requirement no matter how many people you have onboard. The most common style of life vest is the foam core, 3-4 buckle lifejacket. This type is comfortable, easy to store, cheap and highly effective. If you want to spend a little more, go for neoprene vests which are sportier.

2. Throwable life preserver

This is also a legal requirement to have in case there is a passenger overboard. The life preserver can either be a ring or a cushion. They can also be used as decorations. Most life preservers have a foam core which makes them extremely buoyant. You can even use them as a seat cushion.

3. Fire extinguisher

Any powerboat in Sanford FL is required to have this in case of fires. Depending on the size of your boat, there are many types of fire extinguishers you can have on your boat. Consult with an experienced powerboat owner to know what model works for your boat. Most boats have a fire retardation system but it is still important to have a handheld fire extinguisher onboard.

Most boats come with factory fitted horns but in the event yours does not have one, you should get an air horn to help notify other boats of your presence. Air horns are nice and extremely important when you have an emergency.

5. First Aid Kit

Accidents could happen onboard so it is good to have a first aid kit on your powerboat. When you are far away from a clinic and need to take care of a medical emergency, your first aid box is your first line of defence. It allows you to treat minor issues and continue to enjoy your day out in the water. You can also pack extra stuff in your first aid box depending on your peculiar needs like allergies and health conditions.

Enjoying your powerboat in Sanford FL can be dependent on having these accessories handy when you’re setting off on a boat ride. Have them and you are sure to have a great time relaxing and having fun.

Best Boat Accessories: Top Recommendations

• Latest Posts

Are you searching for the perfect gift for your boating buddy, or do you just want to upgrade your vessel for the next season? Then this article will help you decide which best boat accessories, to get and enjoy.

We will tell you how to improve your experience on the waters, including product reviews, and answer some of your burning questions. It doesn’t matter if you own a deck, jet, fishing, or sailboat, these are the accessories every captain needs.

It can be very hard to choose which items are novelties, and which are the goodie must-haves to always keep aboard on your adventure. We are here today to recommend you the best boat accessories on the market!

What Exactly Are Boating Accessories?

Unexpected things happen when out on the water, and this is what boat accessories are trying to help us with. Will it be a storm, wind, empty fuel tank, or leak? There are always some accessories that might help us reach shore easily and safely.

That is the reason we are giving so much thought and time to finding the best quality, lowest price, and longest-lasting accessories on the market for you. We are bringing you the gadgets and gear we use when leaving the dock.

Buying Guide for the Best Boat Accessories

Even for newbies or the experienced skipper, a new accessory can lighten their load and make their chart more enjoyable and easier.

What Types of Accessories Are There? 

A first aid kit and a life vest can’t compare when it comes to importance in a sticky situation. So we drew out a list of different accessories that might help you set your goals straight. These might include novelties, must-haves, gadgets, fishing accessories, and gear.

The must-haves are a set of accessories that are basics on any and every boat. This means, if you set out to sea (or lake), without these items, your health and security might be at risk. Every boating enthusiast knows what these might be, and they range from first aid kits and fire extinguishers to life vests.

Accessories like this aren’t just there to fulfill the law. They’re here to make sure everyone on board is safe and sound, in case something unexpected happens. These basics improve your boating time by letting you know that you are secure, even if there is a storm or power outage on your boat. Experienced boaters know how unpredictable the waters can be.

To make any navigation easier, every skipper has a GPS. This is one of the most important gadgets for navigation. Items on this list also include lights, compasses, bilge pumps, or anemometers. Any modern boat ride would be unimaginable without these amazing devices that make life easier for boat-owners.

This means if you are looking for the gadget-oriented captain’s perfect gift, or if you’re looking for a great way to upgrade your voyage, you might consider some gadgets we picked out for you. These items will make your boating experience easier. “Why is that?” you might ask.

An upgrade in navigation will make your time worthwhile, and pumps or anemometers will also save time and work. No one wants to use a map and compass or bucket to empty their bilge. The accessories we picked out in our gadget section will both save time and manual labor, to offer you more precious moments with your family.

When talking about boating gear, we think about accessories for the boat owner. There’s nothing better than going fully prepared on your next trip, without having to worry about what the waters have in store for you.

If you’re expecting some stormy weather, prepare your storm gear and a dry sack. If the weather is going to be sunny, bring your hammock and water carpet. When organizing a fishing trip, prepare your no-cut gloves. Accessories like these are must-haves but are sometimes forgotten. They help boat-owners stay on top of the weather, prepare for some relaxation, and make sure they stay safe and sound.

Fishing Accessories

Every fisher’s dream is a boat with which he can sail out to the open seas alone. If you’re a boat-owner and angler, this is the best combination there could be. Thus you can combine two of our favorite activities: fishing and boating!

If you are searching for some gear or accessories for your next fishing trip, you might want to consider a fishing kit, cooler, or a fish finder, the most useful gadget of them all. These accessories will make it easier for you to capture your dinner and come home with an unbelievable catch.

In this section of accessories, we can include eye-catching items that serve no purpose other than making the captain and the boat itself seem polished. These might include things like keychains or decoration of the boat’s interior. Novelties aren’t a looked-down-upon accessory, because they can serve as thoughtful gifts for your boating buddy or as great conversation starters for guests aboard.

Without an ornament, there is nothing that can set a boat apart, so these gifts can be something that gives a vessel its charm and soul. Novelties can’t directly improve your boating experience but can give you lifelong memories of great boating ordeals with wonderful people and offer you memorabilia that lasts a lifetime.

How to Choose the Best Boat Accessories?

After listing all the possible boating accessories to buy, you’re probably wondering: “So what should I get first?”.

There is no unified answer to this question. We would like you to think about what is your priority when it comes to accessories.

If you are a beginner in boating, you probably just bought your first boat, initially get the essentials . Make sure your boat has life vests, fire extinguishers, lines, anchor and rode, documents, first aid, safety kits, and communication devices. If there is no sign of this basic gear on your boat, make sure you don’t leave the dock without it.

If you are preparing for a longer boat trip, you should get an accessory from our gadget or gear section. These will make your boating experience stress-free and open to new possibilities. But, if you or a loved one enjoys fishing, get some of our fishing accessories on board too.

That was our short elaborate on which gear to consider. First, make sure you know which of these categories you or your boating family member or friend falls under. Get them their appropriate gift by checking out our sections.

What Are the Best Boating Accessories? 

Most people say that when it comes to boating gifts and gear, the best one is the one you can use every day and the one that has multiple uses. From fishing rods to multi-purpose tools, everything can be a thoughtful present, when you have the boater on your mind. One can be assured, the captain will also think about them when using one of the cool gadgets we picked out.

Let’s review what the best boating accessories must possess:

• Must be long lasting
• Have an acceptable price
• Must be the best quality
• Should be designed for boating
• Water-resistant and wind-proof if applicable

Must-Have Boat Accessories

We have picked out some of the most basic beginner boat accessories every boat needs. Read carefully through it and never leave the dock without them!

O’Neill Men’s Superlite USCG Life Vest

What is a boat without a life vest? Unsafe, and that’s for sure. By law, every boat needs to have sufficient life vests for all individuals on board. Therefore, we picked the most state-of-the-art O’Neill vests out there.

O’Neill designed these for both sweet and salt waters, and a variety of water sports. There’s nothing wrong with using them on your boat as life vests either.

In the contemporary digital age, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives, profoundly influencing the way we communicate, connect, and consume information. This essay critically explores the multifaceted impact of social media, weighing its positive contributions against potential drawbacks.

On the positive side, social media serves as a powerful tool for global connectivity. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram enable individuals to connect with friends, family, and like-minded individuals across the globe.

It facilitates real-time communication, breaking down geographical barriers and fostering a sense of a global community. The instant sharing of information has transformed the way news is disseminated, making it accessible to a vast audience in seconds.

Moreover, social media has proven instrumental in promoting awareness and activism. Campaigns and movements gain momentum through the viral spread of information, enabling individuals to engage in social and political issues. This democratization of information empowers people, giving a voice to the marginalized and creating platforms for discussions on crucial societal issues.

However, the pervasive nature of social media also raises significant concerns. One major issue is the compromise of privacy. Users willingly share personal details, preferences, and locations, often without fully understanding the potential consequences.

This data becomes a commodity for advertisers and can be exploited, raising ethical questions about the boundaries between personal and public information.

The rampant spread of misinformation is another critical challenge. False narratives, rumors, and fake news can circulate rapidly, influencing public opinion and, at times, leading to real-world consequences. The lack of gatekeepers on social media platforms makes it challenging to control the flow of inaccurate information, posing a threat to the reliability of news and information.

Additionally, the impact of social media on mental health has come under scrutiny. The constant exposure to curated and idealized versions of others’ lives can contribute to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem.

The addictive nature of social media platforms, designed to keep users engaged, has been linked to anxiety and depression, especially among younger demographics. Cyberbullying is also a growing concern, with individuals facing harassment and abuse in the digital realm.

In the political arena, social media’s role in shaping narratives and influencing elections is a subject of ongoing debate. The spread of fake news and the manipulation of public opinion through targeted campaigns raise questions about the integrity of democratic processes.

In conclusion, social media’s impact on society is undeniably profound, encompassing both positive and negative aspects. While it enhances global connectivity, promotes awareness, and democratizes information, it also poses risks to privacy, contributes to the spread of misinformation, and affects mental well-being.

Whether social media is a boon or a bane depends on how effectively society navigates and mitigates these challenges, emphasizing the need for responsible usage, digital literacy, and ethical considerations in the evolving landscape of social media.

Social Media: Boon or Bane

In the digital age, social media has emerged as a dominant force shaping human interaction and information dissemination. This essay critically examines the dual nature of social media, weighing its positive contributions against potential drawbacks.

The Boons of social media

• Global Connectivity: Social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, have revolutionized communication, breaking down geographical barriers and connecting people across the globe. This global connectivity fosters a sense of community transcending physical boundaries.
• Information Dissemination: The instantaneous sharing of information on social media has transformed the way news is spread. It provides a platform for real-time updates on global events, making information accessible to a vast audience and enabling rapid response to emerging issues.
• Awareness and Activism: Social media serves as a catalyst for social and political movements, providing a space for individuals to voice their opinions, raise awareness, and mobilize support. Campaigns gain momentum through the viral nature of shared content, empowering individuals to engage in meaningful activism.

The Banes of social media

• Privacy Concerns: The widespread use of social media comes with a trade-off in privacy. Users often unwittingly share personal details, preferences, and locations, raising concerns about the ethical use of this data by advertisers and potential privacy breaches.
• Misinformation and Fake News: One of the most significant challenges is the unchecked spread of misinformation on social media. False narratives, rumors, and fake news can circulate rapidly, influencing public opinion and potentially leading to real-world consequences, undermining the reliability of information.
• Mental Health Implications: The curated nature of social media content, often presenting idealized versions of life, contributes to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. The addictive design of platforms and the constant comparison can lead to anxiety and depression, especially among the younger demographic. Cyberbullying is an additional concern affecting mental well-being.

Privacy in the Digital Age

• Voluntary Disclosure: Users willingly share personal information on social media platforms, but there’s a fine line between voluntary disclosure and unintended exposure. The consequences of this disclosure extend beyond individual users, impacting societal notions of privacy.
• Data Exploitation: The data collected by social media platforms become valuable commodities for advertisers. The ethical implications of using this data for targeted advertising and potential manipulation raise questions about the responsibility of platforms in safeguarding user information.

Combating Misinformation

• Challenges of Misinformation: The decentralized nature of social media, with minimal content moderation, poses challenges in controlling the spread of misinformation. Identifying and addressing false narratives becomes complex in an environment where information travels rapidly and lacks authoritative gatekeepers.
• Digital Literacy: Promoting digital literacy is crucial in combating misinformation. Educating users on how to critically evaluate information, fact-check, and discern credible sources can empower individuals to navigate the digital landscape responsibly.

Mental Health in the Digital Era

• Impact on Self-Esteem: The constant exposure to carefully curated and idealized representations of others’ lives can contribute to feelings of inadequacy and lower self-esteem. Understanding the curated nature of social media content is vital for maintaining a healthy self-image.
• Addiction and Well-being: The design of social media platforms, often employing features that encourage prolonged use, can lead to addiction. Monitoring screen time, promoting digital detoxes, and fostering a balanced approach to online engagement are essential for overall well-being.

Political Landscape and social media

• Influence on Elections: Social media’s role in shaping political narratives and influencing elections has become a subject of intense scrutiny. The spread of fake news and the potential manipulation of public opinion through targeted campaigns underscore the need for ethical considerations in the digital political landscape.
• Democracy and Manipulation: The democratization of information through social media can be both empowering and perilous. While it allows diverse voices to be heard, it also opens the door to the manipulation of public sentiment, raising questions about the integrity of democratic processes.

In conclusion, social media’s impact on society is a complex interplay of boons and banes. While it facilitates global connectivity, awareness, and activism, it also raises concerns about privacy, misinformation, and mental health. Navigating this digital landscape requires a concerted effort to strike a balance, promoting responsible use, digital literacy, and ethical considerations to harness the positive potential of social media while mitigating its potential drawbacks.

The social media Boon or Bane Essay illuminates the dichotomy of social media, presenting a nuanced perspective on its impact. While it serves as a powerful catalyst for global connectivity, awareness, and activism, the potential pitfalls of privacy infringement, misinformation, and adverse effects on mental health cannot be ignored.

Navigating this digital landscape demands a collective effort to harness the positive aspects of social media while addressing its challenges through responsible usage, digital literacy, and ethical considerations.

Social media can also be a breeding ground for cyberbullying, with people using the anonymity of the internet to harass and intimidate others. Additionally, the spread of misinformation on social media can lead to a deterioration of public discourse and a decline in critical thinking.

Another issue with social media is its impact on mental health. Studies have shown that excessive use of social media can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. The constant comparisons to the highlight reels of others’ lives on social media can also lead to feelings of inadequacy and dissatisfaction with one’s own life.

In conclusion, social media can be both a boon and a bane, depending on how it is used. While it has numerous benefits, it also has numerous downsides. It is up to individuals to use social media in a responsible and mindful way, to avoid its negative impacts and to reap its benefits.

Long Essay On Social Media Boon Or Bane

In the digital age, social media has become a powerful force in our lives. It can be used for networking, entertainment, and even work — but it also comes with many potential drawbacks. In this essay, we’ll explore the question of whether or not social media is ultimately a boon or a bane to society.

We can share our thoughts and feelings with our friends and family, no matter where they are in the world. Social media has also given us a platform to share our ideas and creativity with others.

On the other hand, social media can be a negative force in our lives. It can be addictive and lead to internet addiction. It can be damaging to our mental health if we compare ourselves to others constantly or if we allow cyberbullies to get to us. We need to be aware of the potential dangers of social media and use it wisely.

In conclusion, social media is neither a boon nor a bane. It has its pros and cons, but it is up to us to use it in a way that benefits us most.

Types of Social Media Platforms

There are many different types of social media platforms available today. Some of the most popular include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+. Each platform has its own unique features and benefits that businesses can take advantage of.

Facebook is the largest social media platform with over 2 billion active users. businesses can use Facebook to connect with potential and current customers, create brand awareness, and drive traffic to their website.

Impacts of Social Media on Society

There is no denying the fact that social media has had a profound impact on virtually every aspect of our lives. It has changed the way we communicate, the way we interact with each other, and the way we connect with the world around us. It has also had an impact on society as a whole.

The most obvious impact of social media is the way it has changed communication. In the past, if you wanted to communicate with someone, you would have to either meet them in person or send them a letter. Now, with social media, you can communicate with anyone, anywhere in the world, instantly. This has made communication much easier and more efficient.

Another impact of social media is the way it has changed interactions between people. In the past, if you wanted to interact with someone, you would have to do so in person. Now, with social media, you can interact with people from all over the world without ever meeting them in person. This has made interactions much more convenient and accessible.

It has also allowed for the spread of information and news much faster than before. Overall, social media has had a positive impact on society by making communication and interaction easier and more convenient.

Benefits of Using Social Media

Social media has a lot of benefits. It helps you connect with friends and family, keeps you up-to-date on current events, and gives you a platform to share your own thoughts and experiences.

But social media can also be a boon for businesses. Through social media, businesses can connect with customers and potential customers in a way that is informal, interactive, and cost-effective. Here are some of the specific benefits that businesses can enjoy by using social media:

Increased brand awareness: When you post regularly on social media, you increase the visibility of your brand. People who see your posts will start to recognize your company’s name and logo, which can lead to increased brand awareness.

Greater reach: Social media allows you to reach a wider audience than you would through traditional marketing channels like print or television. With billions of people using social media worldwide, there’s a good chance that at least some of them will see your posts if you make them visible enough.

Improved customer relationships: Social media provides an opportunity to build stronger relationships with your customers. By interacting with them directly, you can learn more about their needs and wants, and tailor your products or services accordingly. You can also use social media to provide customer service, which can help resolve issues quickly and efficiently.

Negative Consequences of Social Media

Social media has been linked to several negative consequences, including:

-increased feelings of loneliness and isolation -depression and anxiety – body image issues – cyberbullying – sleep deprivation

Loneliness and isolation: A study by the University of Pennsylvania found that people who use social media the most are actually the loneliest. This is likely due to the fact that social media can give users a false sense of connection and lead them to compare their own lives to the seemingly perfect lives of others.

Depression and anxiety: Social media has also been linked to increased levels of depression and anxiety. This is likely due to the constant comparison of one’s life to others’, as well as the overwhelming amount of information and stimuli that social media provides.

Body image issues: Social media can be a breeding ground for body image issues, as users are constantly bombarded with images of “perfect” bodies. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem.

Cyberbullying: Unfortunately, social media can also be used as a tool for cyberbullying. With anonymity and a large audience, bullies can easily target their victims and cause a great deal of emotional distress.

Solutions to Minimize the Negative Effects of Social Media

As the use of social media has become more widespread, so have the negative effects that come with it. However, there are ways to minimize these negative effects.

For example, many people are concerned about the impact of social media on their mental health. There is evidence that spending too much time on social media can lead to increased anxiety and depression. To reduce the risk of these problems, it’s important to limit the amount of time you spend on social media each day. You should also make sure to take breaks from social media regularly. If you start to feel anxious or depressed while using social media, it’s important to stop and take a break.

It’s also important to be aware of the way you use social media. If you find yourself constantly comparing your life to others or feeling envy, it’s time to take a step back. Social media should be used as a way to connect with others and share positive experiences, not as a way to compare yourself to others or make yourself feel bad.

Finally, remember that social media is only one part of your life. Don’t let it consume you. Make sure you still spend time doing things you enjoy outside of social media and interacting with people face-to-face.

In conclusion, it is evident that social media can have both positive and negative impacts. While it provides an opportunity to stay connected with friends and family around the world, it can also distract us from our real-world relationships. It is important to remember that we must use social media in moderation if we are to reap its full benefits. We must be aware of the potential dangers associated with overuse and ensure that we create a healthy balance between our digital lives and offline activities.

Introduction: Social Media Boon or Bane Essay

In this age of the 21st century when interaction across the globe, transcends all the social barriers with the technological social media platform. Moreover, it is just a stroke of a mouse or a touch of a Smartphone. Platforms that interconnected the whole world to learn a revolution in Tanisha and Libya.The revolution that breaks the sultanates. Autocratic rulers like Gaddafi is the misusing the same platform for the election of the president of the oldest democracy.

Donald Trump, to the feeling hearts of common Britain to Brexit. Isn’t it a reason to comment that a technology platform that uses shaped for us is ultimately shaping us? Lamenting the deteriorating relationship between nature and man and man with society. The greatest poet of his Times,  William Wordsworth  wrote:

If we are all being sent from heaven, If such was a Naturals Holy plan, Isn’t it a reason to lament? What has man made of man?

Long Social Media Boon or Bane Essay

Social media is the technological dream of the 20th century and the reality of the 21st century. That help in providing information to the wide public across the globe with one stroke of a mouse. But, unfortunately, social media whose name itself precedes “social” has turned out to be a “Nihilistic Tendency”.

For example, on Marina Beach, a group of friends is clicking selfies with a dying girl rather than helping her. Isn’t the tool of love and compassion that we “shaped for ourselves” actually “shaping ourselves”? Isn’t it a reason to lament What man has made of a man? Further, social media has turned us social.

Moreover, in Psychological science journals in the last 25 years, with the advent of the World Wide Web, people might have broken the barrier across social boundaries. But, it has increased the emotional distance between the family members. About 62% population using social media wishes “good morning” on social groups but unfortunately less than 6% start a day by wishing family members. The platform that we shaped ourselves has started shaping us.

Why social media is a Boon to Society?

Further, our likes, and dislikes are all being regulated by big social media companies, which are using it as a nudge unit to transform our choices. Even a click or simple Google search can lead to mails of respective products for commercial companies in the form of offers, and cashback to ultimately force one to buy that product. That’s how the cobweb of social media engulfs us.

Moreover, political parties start using these nudge units, which is a major threat. Even the radical organizations that are distributing the social fabric of the country. As per the report of the Institute of “ Economics and peace“, every year millions of dollars are shelled out. Which use to shape social media platforms to radicalize and ultimately shape the opinion of the common man. It has cost the world every year 1 to 2% of global GDP.

Social media has turned into a vicious cycle. Both parents working and access to unrestricted use of social media have transformed the enculturation process. Moreover, turning children into devils disturbs the balance of society. Blue whale game, misinterpretation of religious texts, and communal trolls are just the manifestations. Hence, it engulfed the man into the cobwebs of social media and harmed him.

How Social Media is Useful?

It’s the two-way process that is not only forming but strengthening the social contract, resulting in a new form of social barriers that reduce it. Although, social media is a devil in itself. It shaped the opinion of the world when Bhutan face the crisis at the hands of China. It has transformed the opinion and pressurized the European Union for rehabilitating refugees.

Moreover, it also strengthens the love and affection for art, music, and architecture between the people of India and Pakistan. Those have fought battles on the western border and on the Eastern border. Hence, it’s not only a two-way process of shaping opinion but also strengthening bonds and overcoming enmities.

Moreover, the problem doesn’t lie with social media. It’s a tool, we shape ourselves, “the way we want to”. Further, there is no doubt social media has become a powerful means to transfer the opinion of whom and to what extent. As per the World Bank report, on digital dividends, still, two-thirds of people in the world don’t have access to the internet.

The two-way enculturation process of social media will become a boon than a bane. So that it should not become a reason to lament but a festival of celebration. Deciphering the true nature holy plan of the building of a just and compassionate society to the bonds transcends all social and geographical boundaries. That’s, what, Man should and someday will be made of Man!

3 Minutes Speech on Social Media; Boon or Bane

Hey everyone, today I want to talk about something that’s been a part of our daily lives for quite some time now – social media. From Facebook to Instagram, Twitter to TikTok, we are all familiar with these platforms and their various features. But the question is, is social media a boon or bane?

On one hand, social media has revolutionized the way we communicate and connect with people.

However, there is another side to social media that cannot be ignored. With the rise of cyberbullying, online harassment and fake news, social media has become a breeding ground for negativity. It has also led to an increase in mental health issues, especially among the younger generation who are constantly bombarded with unrealistic standards of beauty and success.

Moreover, many argue that social media has created a culture of comparison and validation-seeking. We are constantly comparing our lives to the highlight reels of others, leading to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. It has also made us dependent on likes and comments for validation, affecting our self-esteem.

But let’s not forget that it’s not the tool itself but how we use it that determines whether social media is a boon or bane. Social media can be a powerful tool for spreading awareness and bringing about positive change. We have seen how it has facilitated movements such as #MeToo and Black Lives Matter, giving a voice to marginalized communities.

In conclusion, social media is neither completely good nor bad. It’s all about finding a balance and using it responsibly. Let’s not let the negatives overshadow the positives of this powerful tool. Thank you for listening. So, next time before scrolling endlessly through your feed or posting something without thinking, ask yourself – is social media a boon or bane in this moment? The choice is yours.

Remember, it’s not the tool itself but how we use it that makes all the difference. Use social media wisely, and let’s make it a boon rather than a bane in our lives. That’s all for today, thank you. So, what do you think – is social media a boon or bane?

Private tuitions: Boon or bane?

Follow Us :

The recent tragedy at a coaching centre in Delhi has reignited the debate on the obsession with coaching and supplementary education in India. The coaching industry in India is worth Rs 58,088 crore, with civil services coaching institutes alone contributing Rs 3,000 crore. The GST collection from coaching institutes for 2023-24 stands at Rs 5,517 crore.

To understand this phenomenon, we must examine the current school system, where the trend begins and worsens at higher levels. From early schooling, children lack adequate support for foundational skills like reading and arithmetic. The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) 2023 reveals that among 14-18-year-olds, 25 per cent cannot fluently read Class II level text in their regional language, over half struggle with basic arithmetic, only 57.3 per cent can read English sentences, and 73.5 per cent can understand their meanings. Over the last decade, the proportion of children in classes 1-8 taking private tuition has steadily increased, rising from 26.4 per cent in 2018 to 30.5 per cent in 2022.

Research indicates private tutoring is most common at the secondary level and persists through entrance exams for higher professional courses. Pooja Tomar’s paper, “Why I don’t need private tuition?” reveals senior secondary students opt for private tuition due to social trends and perceptions. Unlike their humanities counterparts, nearly 100 per cent of science and commerce students enrol in tuition. 

The demand for private tuition in India can be attributed to several sociocultural factors. Indian students are pressured to excel in high-stakes examinations, such as board exams and competitive entrance tests. Indian parents place a high value on education, viewing it as a means of social mobility and economic security, which drives them to invest in private tuition.

The term “shadow education,” coined by Stevenson and Baker to refer to private tutoring, is not unique to India. South Korea, Japan, and China have well-documented shadow education sectors where private tuition plays a significant role due to intense competition for university admissions. Private tuition is prevalent in Western countries, especially among students preparing for standardised tests like the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), American College Testing (ACT), and General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE).

However, organisations like the National Tutoring Association (NTA) set standards for tutor qualifications and ethical practices in these countries. In Egypt and Saudi Arabia, private tuition is standard due to similar pressures of academic competition and inadequacies in the public education system. In India, regulations are lacking, and where they exist, the absence of strict enforcement maximises adverse consequences.

Hampring critical thinking

After substantial investment in coaching, the question arises: is it effective? Some studies suggest private tuition improves academic performance and test scores, as seen in research by Dang and Rogers (2008) and the ASER report. However, other studies, like Bray (2013), question long-term benefits, suggesting that while private tutoring may boost short-term performance, it might not lead to lasting educational success or critical thinking skills. Additionally, reliance on private tuition can exacerbate economic disparities.

Given the integral yet problematic role of private tutoring in India, minimising reliance on it is crucial. Finland, known for its educational excellence, emphasises holistic education, reducing the need for supplementary coaching. India could adopt personalised learning approaches using adaptive technologies and differentiated instruction.

Reducing the teacher-student ratio would allow for more individualised attention. The education system should focus on holistic development, including cognitive, emotional, and social skills, and integrate extracurricular activities and life skills into the curriculum. Engaging parents in the educational process and providing resources to support learning at home can further reduce dependence on private tutoring.

While private tuitions offer short-term academic benefits, they perpetuate economic disparities and may not ensure long-term success. Addressing this trend requires comprehensive reforms in the education system, including curriculum changes, better teacher training, and personalised learning approaches.

By strengthening the regular education system and promoting alternative learning methods, India can reduce its reliance on private tuition and ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.

Is singapore becoming a monolingual nation and is that a boon or bane for national identity.

• More Singaporeans are speaking English at home, as mother tongues fade into the background
• While some parents and students view their mothers tongues simply as an academic requirement, others stress its cultural significance
• Among the attempts to make mother tongue learning more engaging is a new primary school syllabus being progressively rolled out from this year
• Though some young Singaporeans feel indifferent about their mother tongues, experts caution against the dilution of Singapore’s linguistic diversity

SINGAPORE — Mother of three Nur Asyikin Naser uses the limited time she has while driving her children to school to cultivate their love for their mother tongue by playing Malay language audiobooks during the commute.

At home, the 35-year-old secondary school Malay language teacher would introduce Malay stories and movies to the kids, aged four to nine. She also encourages her two older children in primary school to keep a bilingual journal, and to write short cards in Malay for their grandparents.

Ms Asyikin recently connected with nearly 100 mothers on a WhatsApp chat group providing Malay language penpals for their children.

“On Facebook, this mummy was lamenting that her daughter’s writing in Malay was very atrocious, so she suggested forming a small group (for their children) to exchange letters. It became quite a big thing, because there was a lot of response,” Ms Asyikin said.

While she has succeeded in fostering a love for their mother tongue in her own children, it remains a work in progress for her other “children” — the students in her Malay language classes.

Ms Asyikin said many of her students struggle to form sentences in Malay during lessons due to a lack of practice outside of class.

As for 35-year-old digital marketer Roystonn Loh, who is a father of three children, aged two to seven, he has seen his children’s eyes “glazing over” when family members try to speak to them in Mandarin. After all, English is the main language at home for the Lohs.

An attempt to maintain a “dual-speaking” home environment, where Mr Loh spoke only Mandarin and his wife, English, lasted for just two weeks before both parents reverted to English.

“At work, you speak in English, so it’s hard to switch and maintain this duality. And your children are more or less the reflection of you,” he said.

With English having been the main language of instruction in schools here for decades, Mr Roystonn Loh’s children are among the younger generations of Singaporeans who feel less at home with their mother tongues and are more comfortable using English.

With Singapore celebrating National Day on Friday (Aug 9), TODAY takes a closer look at the evolution of this fundamental marker of identity and culture.

Losing language, so what?

A 2020 study by the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) on race, religion and language found that 61 per cent of parents between 26 and 35 years old used English the most frequently with their children.

In contrast, only 45 per cent of parents aged between 56 and 65 used English most frequently with their children.

The widespread use of English at home was also accompanied by more Singaporean Chinese and Indian respondents increasingly identifying with English as opposed to their mother tongues or heritage languages.

Malay respondents were more likely to indicate that they identified most with their mother tongue, indicating “strong links” between Malay language and identity, the IPS study said.

This shift in using English as the “home language” can be attributed to a pragmatic attitude among parents and grandparents in Singapore, said Dr Goh Hock Huan, an education research scientist at the Centre for Research in Pedagogy and Practice at the National Institute of Education (NIE).

Some may also lack confidence in using their mother tongue, while inter-racial and transnational families are more likely to use English at home, he added.

The mother tongue policy in schools, which usually assign children a mother tongue other than English on the basis of their ethnicity, also influences their attitude towards learning the language, said Associate Professor Susan Xu Yun from the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS)

The three official mother tongue languages are Chinese, Malay and Tamil.

“To these children, mother tongues that are not spoken at home by their parents or grandparents are merely one of the many subjects in their 12-year formal education,” said Assoc Prof Xu, head of the Translation and Interpretation Programme.

“Without much motivation, practice and exposure, their mother tongue proficiency developed through school syllabuses is understandably limited.”

Undergraduate student Liow Wan Yu, 21, is fluent in Mandarin but has little opportunity to speak it with her peers, who predominantly come from English-language speaking homes.

“Having to speak it (Mandarin) at home helps a lot. I think once Chinese is no longer an examinable subject, that’s when most of my friends lost touch with the language,” said Ms Liow.

For Mr Loh and his wife, Mandarin proficiency was not a concern until he realised that there was a gap between his daughter’s current mother tongue ability and the primary school subject requirements.

His concern over his children’s Mandarin proficiency is “purely academic”, as he is comfortable sharing Chinese culture and traditions with his children in English.

But others feel there is more at stake: For them, speaking their mother tongue at home connects their family to their culture and heritage.

Ms Asyikin, the Malay language teacher, said many of her teenage students default to using the informal pronoun “aku” to refer to themselves instead of “saya”, which is more respectful when addressing teachers and elders.

“To me, it’s not just about language, it’s also about identity. When you speak the mother tongue, there are certain values, such as respect and politeness, that you learn, as compared to English,” she added.

Though some maintain that culture and language are separable, Dr Goh from NIE said that language transmits “cultural resemblances” through its actual use and script, which another language “cannot fully reflect and transmit”.

While cultural practices and traditions may not be “language-bound”, each language opens up more worldviews, said Associate Professor of Linguistics and Multilingual Studies Tan Ying Ying from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU).

She pointed to Chinese ideas of kinship, reflected in the meticulously categorised terms for familial relationships such as 舅舅 (jiu jiu) for maternal uncle, which provides a “glimpse” into what it might mean to be part of a Chinese family system.

There are also practical benefits from mother tongue fluency, such as maintaining connections with older generations.

For 14-year-old Shreya Archita, having Bengali as her mother tongue language means waking up early on Saturdays for lessons, since her school offers only Tamil.

Yet, she looks forward to these lessons and has received awards, such as being the top-scorer in Bengali in Secondary One.

More than good grades, her nightly phone chats in Bengali with her grandfather, who stays in Kolkata, India, also motivates her to keep learning the language.

“Speaking Bengali makes me feel connected with my family and more aware of my roots. You need to learn English because it’s universally important, but with Bengali, it’s special. I feel proud of it,” said Shreya.

Home’s where it begins

With the bilingual scale having tilted heavily towards English in recent times, authorities are working to balance it by making mother tongue learning more engaging and accessible.

Last year, Minister for Education Chan Chun Sing announced a refreshed primary school mother tongue curriculum incorporating games and technology during lessons.

In response to TODAY’s queries, the Ministry of Education (MOE) said schools are progressively implementing the new curriculum, and a new series of printed and online readers have been designed to nurture a love for mother tongue language reading.

The ministry emphasised the important role that parents — as the “first teachers” in a child’s life — play in shaping their children’s attitudes and mindset towards language learning.

“In the early years when children are developing their language skills, it is important for parents to show interest in their child’s mother tongue language and model the willingness to learn with their child, even if they may not be proficient in the language,” said MOE.

Parents and experts also largely agree.

Ms Archita Biswas, a 41-year-old quality specialist, cultivated her daughter Shreya’s interest in Bengali through the practice of sharing fairy tales at mealtimes.

Besides getting her daughter hooked on classic Bengali literature, Ms Archita would come up with her own stories to immerse Sherya in the linguistic world of her mother tongue.

“More than talking, it was using Bengali expressions, like if a tiger is saying something, I won’t say that the tiger is ‘growling’ (in English). Instead, I will use the Bengali word হালুম (ha-l-u-u-m),” she said.

Her husband, Mr Vedha Giri, speaks Tamil, so the 49-year-old banker uses Google Translate and his knowledge of other Indian languages to help Shreya with her homework.

Stories were also a means for Ms Ksther Lim, 46, to introduce both language and culture to her son, now 15, as she read him Chinese tales explaining the Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year celebrations.

Encouraging the teenager to be an “effective” Mandarin speaker, rather than insisting on him being perfectly fluent, helped him understand the importance of staying connected to Mandarin, she said.

The human resource professional said she emphasised to him the practical benefits of speaking his mother tongue, such as avoiding awkwardness at family gatherings with their Mandarin-speaking relatives, and the future need to converse with Chinese-speaking colleagues.

The importance of a parent’s role in the learning of one’s mother tongue cannot be stressed enough, experts said.

Dr Sun Baoqi, an education research scientist from NIE’s centre for research in child development, said one study found that using mother tongue at home and having parents help with mother tongue homework had positive direct effects on students’ motivations to learn.

Mother tongue language tuition, on the other hand, did not appear to lead to any predictions of student motivation or learning behaviours, according to the NIE study.

Parent-teacher collaborations have also proven to be a useful tool.

Ms Uma Devi R Jayagumar, the lead Tamil teacher at preschool My First Skool, said students have responded well to efforts to assignments that encourage out-of-classroom interactions with parents.

She regularly prompts children to practise Tamil at home through exercises such as a journaling assignment where students interview their parents on their occupations.

Another exercise that her students love involves sharing new Tamil riddles during class, which has encouraged the children to research new riddles with their parents.

“It takes two hands to clap, because I can have one hour of lessons and then it’s not reinforced at home. Consistency and exposure are needed,” said Ms Uma.

Language and Singaporean identity

If home is indeed the most important environment for fostering Singaporeans’ connection to their mother tongues, will the trend towards monolingual, English-speaking households impact the identity of a nation that just celebrated its 59th birthday?

Young people are likely to say no.

Ms Ying Xuan Ling, a 22-year-old undergraduate student, said being fluent in Mandarin is “not one of the top qualities” she associates with being Singaporean.

Now an international student studying fashion communication in London, her cohort comprises mostly European and American students, and she only speaks Mandarin with other Chinese friends.

“I don’t think (my concept of cultural roots) has changed much being in London, and the idea of being able to speak Mandarin is viewed as an ethnically Chinese quality, rather than Singaporean,” said Ms Ying.

Others agreed, saying that English is more inclusive than their ethnically-designated mother tongues.

Among them is 15-year-old student Aldrin Ardiansyah Fakhrul-Arifin, who said speaking Malay does not make him more, or less, Singaporean.

Instead, he finds cultural celebrations with family during Hari Raya, and with friends during Chinese New Year, more significant in shaping his identity.

For multiracial families like that of Ms Marsya Ruzana Aw’s, a diverse linguistic background means they have to speak mostly English at home, as it is a “unifying language”.

The 27-year-old grew up speaking Mandarin with her grandparents on her Chinese father’s side and spoke Malay with her mother’s relatives. But she finds it “less critical” that her children actively use both mother tongues.

“The main challenge is persuading my children of the benefits of learning additional languages. Even though their grandparents speak Chinese, integrating the language into their daily lives can be tough,” said Ms Marsya, who is married to a Malay husband and has two children aged three and four.

She plans for her children to learn Mandarin as their mother tongue to “give them more opportunities” when they enter school. She will teach them Malay at home or encourage them to pursue it as a third language.

Dr Tan from NTU noted that it is not surprising that today’s youth are more indifferent to any perceived cultural loss from reduced fluency in their mother tongues, or that they have a stronger connection to English.

Monolingual speakers of English may not feel that they have lost anything because English is highly valued in Singapore, and people may be judged more for poor English as compared with other languages, she added.

“I don’t blame kids these days for saying, ‘I’m perfectly okay with English because I’ve got friends from different ethnic backgrounds, and we all speak English together, because there’s also a sense of building national identity (in that),” said Dr Tan.

At the same time, she cautioned, such a mindset is leading Singapore down the “monolingual road” and its linguistic diversity will eventually be lost.

“If we believe in the idea that languages are repositories of culture, then every language loss is a culture loss,” said Dr Tan.

“If you have three different languages, you actually get glimpses into three different worlds. So if we are monolingual, then we literally have a monolingual worldview.”

Dr Goh from NIE said that having fewer effective bilinguals may result in a lack of local talents in sectors that require mother tongue expertise, such as education, journalism and entertainment.

“In street interview footage using mother tongue, it is quite common to see local interviewees speaking in literal translations of their mother tongue from English,” said Dr Goh.

“As the public becomes accustomed to such expressions, it could potentially impact communication in mother tongue languages and exacerbate imbalanced bilingual development.”

Ultimately, linguistic and cultural diversity is “at the core” of the Singaporean identity, said Dr Xu from SUSS. A monolingual society is likely to be homogenous, potentially perpetuating inequalities such as favouring English-speaking majorities over mother tongue-speaking minorities.

The mother tongue, which as an academic concept is frequently associated with one’s first language, “holds the key” to one’s ethnic identity, said Dr Goh.

“However, this has no conflict with the national identity, as Singapore is a multiracial and multicultural immigrant society. In the past, being able to speak more than one language was a form of local identity and a definite showcase of the kampung spirit.”

Some examples of this kampung spirit would be in saying greetings in the mother tongue of different races and showing respect and acquaintance by speaking some mother tongue languages during different festival occasions of different ethnic communities, he added.

To be fair, there are youths who are keeping this practice alive. Ms Liow the undergraduate, for one, is learning Malay so she can connect better with her Malay friends.

“I started with Malay because it's also the national language and most similar to English, through Duolingo and some Youtube videos. Then when I told my Malay friends, they were quite excited and tried to help me learn the language," said Ms Liow.

“That sparked further conversations (with a friend) about her religion, and to some extent she trusted me enough to share about her feelings about the Muslim community in Singapore.

“Maybe she would have told me nonetheless, but I think it helps people feel more comfortable with you, and feel like you are actually trying to get to know them.” — TODAY

Power Catamarans

A word about power catamarans.

O ur POWER CATAMARANS are hard to beat for speed with comfort. In a rough water chop, the air-cushion between the hulls really smooths out the ride. These boats carry heavier loads than other boats and are very stable, making them ideal family boats for fishing, skiing, or cruising. They turn flat with virtually no banking, and will handle more power than other boats in the same length. For ultimate performance, twin motors are recommended. The cockpit offers exceptional space that you must see to believe. All of our cats are extremely strong and designed for rugged use. Take a close look at the photos and drawings. These are truly unique boats; once you have one you will use it as a standard for ride and room that most other boats will not measure up to.
