Pirate bay is the largest website that enables people to
download movies, songs and videos for free and it uses torrent as main software
for people to download. The problem has arises when pirate that provide service
for people to have their latest movies and songs did not acknowledge the
creator. Five
internet service providers in Britain will be forced to block top file-sharing
website The Pirate Bay under a High Court order issued Monday over copyright
infringement (Malaysianews 2012). The movie’s director of song’s composer has
the right to get something in return for their effort if people have published
their work for people to download it.

social instrument of communication. The demonstration and politics have a fight
in Egypt which it started in Tunisia in December 17 when the a young fruit

The highly sexual art of selling perfume...
Advertisement is use to let people know the emerging of the
brand in the market and it also use to reinforce people mind about the brand. People
that have use the brand before might forget about the brand if there is no
advertisement going on. Advertisement also can effects people’s mind by
creating salience which is the propensity of consumer to think about the brand
when they in the purchase occasion. Other than that, advertisement has to use attractive
pictures and images to attract people’s attention to see the ads. Some advertisers
uses sexy pictures that is surely to attract people attention to see the ads
but it is not appropriate to use and it will touch sensitivity issues among
races as well.
Advertisers is largely using sexy picture
to advertise the perfume because they think that sexy images will attract most
people attention. Sexual images in
advertising and throughout the media define what is sexy and more importantly who is sexy and sex in advertising is
pornographic because it dehumanizes and
objectifies people, especially women, and because it fetishists products, imbues them with an erotic charge – which dooms us
to disappointment since products can
never fulfill our sexual desires or meet our emotional needs (Kilbourne1999). Sexy pictures is really
attractive but the question is should consumer buy the product advertised? The answer
is the products advertise using sexy images is not necessary good. Two
thirds of women thought that advertisers had gone too far in using sex to sell
product and use of sexual imagery in advertising has been criticized on various
grounds and religious Conservatives often consider it obscene (Banisauskas
2010). Moeran (2011) has stated that, in selling perfume is not essential in
using attractive images because people bought a perfume based on the smells and
not the model they use for the advertisement. The authors further states that,
the model they use foe the advertisement is not so much regarded as the
essential part because if the smells is not nice that people won’t buy the
perfume. All in all, the use of sexy images is not a promised that sex always the
essential ways of selling products.Reference List

Fasting is a matter required to be performed by Muslims
every year. Fasting means to abstain "completely"
from foods, drinks, intimate intercourse and smoking, before the break of the
dawn till sunset, during the entire month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the
Islamic year (El-Ashi n.d). Furthermore, as all people in the country
regardless of their races and religious know that, Muslim is seriously
preventing their communities from eating the non-halal food. Besides that, Malaysia
is one of the countries known as the Islamic countries and because of that
every races in this country must respect each other believe. One of many ways
to respect each races is not to issue any news or stories that might offend the
community (Muslim, Chinese & Indian community).

New Media Publishing |
In 20th century social networking site and video sharing site has become more popular among internet users. “Most people who have an Internet connection are already aware of some of the major types of new media, which includes social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as blogs and video sharing sites such as YouTube” (Harris 2012). What is new media ecosystem? New media ecosystem is a replacement for press releases, brochures, bulletin boards/email list, public websites or intranet (Hobson 2005). As people now tend to use internet as a medium for information searching, it's best for writing or company to use new media publication to publish their job and products. Blogs is considered as the latest form of media that are being used by majority of internet users to publish a story or share something with others (Harris 2012).
As the conclusion, YouTube and blog has been the most popular place for
internet users because there is no restriction. For instance, if using a
website there may have a government restriction.
