What Makes Something Go Viral Its All in the Science of Buzz
What is ââ¬Å"buzzâ⬠? In our humble opinion, itââ¬â¢s the momentum of attention or excitement for something that is just so good that it gains currency as it passes from one person to anotherââ¬âjust like a snowball increases its girth as it rolls down a hill, collecting layers of snow. We know it when we see itââ¬âbetter still, we can even feel it. Itââ¬â¢s that ephemeral element that surrounds a hot new restaurant, a music album that critics fawn over, or the two-minute clip of a kitten that thinks itââ¬â¢s a dog (because we secretly endorse ââ¬Å"adorableâ⬠). And if we pass the word of this cool new thing to our friends, even to one person, weââ¬â¢ve just made our personal contribution to buzz. So how does buzz begin exactly? Well, the easy answer is that it starts in our brains. New research is beginning to shed light on the exact areas of the brain involved in ââ¬Å"ideas that become contagious, spreading like a virus,â⬠writes Catherine Griffin, in her article ââ¬Å"Brain ââ¬ËBuzzââ¬â¢: Scientists Discover How Ideas and Information Spread.â⬠In the article, Griffin writes about how researchers at UCLA wanted to find out which areas of the brain activate when ideas go viral, versus when they, well, just donââ¬â¢t. With the help of some UCLA students, researchers conducted a study, in which they scanned the studentsââ¬â¢ brains using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). As the students were scanned, they watched television show pilots with a variety of plotlines. The students were then videotaped reviewing each pilot, either green lighting or nixing it. Then another group of students watched the videos from the first group, and rated each pilot based on what the first round of students had to say on tape. The results uncovered what could be described as the genesis of buzz. Students in the first group, who were particularly convincing in their videos, ââ¬Å"showed significantly more activation in a brain region known as the temporoparietal junction, or TPJ, at the time they were first exposed to the pilot ideas they later recommended,â⬠writes Griffin. But not only that, the increase in TPJ activation was also linked to the ability to persuade the second group of students to like what they liked. In other words, the especially persuasive students essentially infected the second group of students with their excitement about the pilots they liked. Tag! Now youââ¬â¢ve got it, too. Researchers referred to this phenomenon as the ââ¬Ësalesperson effect.ââ¬â¢ So what does all this mean? For one thing, the research findings can help to uncover why certain public health campaigns are more successful than others, how advertisements can engage people at a deeper level, and perhaps even lead to teaching methodologies that can help teachers reach their students more effectively, suggests Stuart Wolpert, in his article ââ¬Å"How the Brain Creates the Buzz That Helps Ideas Spread.â⬠Wolpert quotes senior research Matthew Lieberman, a Professor of Psychology, as saying: ââ¬Å"Our study suggests that people are regularly attuned to how the things theyre seeing will be useful and interesting, not just to themselves but to other peopleâ⬠¦Were wired to want to share information with other people. I think that is a profound statement about the social nature of our minds. So whatââ¬â¢s the next step? Now that researchers have mapped the parts of the brain that light up when someone thinks an idea, a song, or a video is really goodââ¬âand canââ¬â¢t wait to share itââ¬âthey would like to go one step further. Theyââ¬â¢d like to ââ¬Å"forecast what ideas are likely to be successful and who is likely to be effective at spreading them,â⬠according to one of the researchers, Emily Falk, who was quoted in Wolpertââ¬â¢s article. Hereââ¬â¢s what we know to be true, which Lieberman summed up succinctly: ââ¬Å"Itââ¬â¢s not enough to have a product [weââ¬â¢ll include ââ¬Å"serviceâ⬠here as well] that people should like.â⬠You need to be able to get the word out into the marketplace, and you need to get people excited about it. So how does something go viral? Easy: all youââ¬â¢ve got to do is feel excited about something and tell a friend. Itââ¬â¢s the beginning of buzz, and anyone can get that snowball rolling.

The Ideal Health Care System - 1632 Words
Jamie Cairns The Ideal Healthcare System In order to keep costs low while retaining easy access and high quality of health care, the ideal health care system must provide a judicious system of coverage for all, regardless of income, without increasing system spending and debt while avoiding unnecessary and unreasonable enforcement and intervention by the government. In the interest of checks and balances, however, a certain level of government involvement is needed. While many American citizens remain uninsured through no fault of their own, others known as ââ¬Å"free-ridersâ⬠are uninsured by choice with the knowledge that even without insurance they will receive the health care that they need (Free ride). The resulting debt from these unpaidâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦The goal of the ideal healthcare system is to make the benefits of being insured equal to the monetary cost of coverage for the individual. Doing so will lead to an increase in the population of insured individuals over time, thus appropriating the debt accrued by the uninsured; this debt will further decrease as more and more individuals choose to become insured, therefore tipping the balance in their favor. This in combination with the resultant lower cost of medical expenses and influx of insurance payments are the key to keeping costs low in the ideal healthcare system. ââ¬Å"Four components of access to care are coverage, services, timeliness, and workforceâ⬠(Access to Health Services). As previously discussed, the key component to coverage is a system of checks and balances when it comes to costs and benefits to both the insured patient and their health care provider. One of these balances vital to having quality and widespread access in the ideal healthcare system is government involvement in providing healthcare for low income families, those unable to work or those unable to afford healthcare. Health insurance coverage will have no regard to personal income; even the highest paid individuals have medical bills they may not be able to handle. The amount of those uninsured will be greatly reduced by the introduction of incentives as

Pablo Picasso Guernica vs. Theodore Gericaults Raft of...
For centuries artists have moved audiences through the use of pictures. As time progressed those images became more and more demanding of the viewer until they were meant to invoke a physical response. Perhaps the earliest account of such emotionally exact artwork is the 1818 piece, Raft of the Medusa, by Theodore Gericault. As time progressed people became more politically aware and involved and generations of art portrayed this. Pablo Picassos Guernica, created in 1937, is a great example of how modern times soon saw a peak in the occurrence of allegorical and politically packed artworks. Gericaults The Raft of the Medusa and Picassos Guernica are both horrifying accounts of the nature of men that aimed to alter a viewers politicalâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦This predominantly two-toned color motif allowed for more focus to be drawn to the most dynamic figures, which are the same humans Gericault wanted viewers to see and sympathize for. While Gericaults, Raft of the Medusa was essentially criticized for its lack of direct criticism of the event and more a display of the human element, it is this feature that made it characteristically romantic. Gericault took the national scandal out of the papers and turned it into a personal event for each of the passengers. Rather than depict the weltering bodies of the crew, he gave them more muscular frames in vigorous poses. Originally setting out to portray the event as nothing more than a visual truth, he shifted his focus to portray a greater truth of suffering. The suffering is reflected in the face of every passenger and it is the main focus of the piece than any other element. The Rafts theme of human suffering evoked empathy and compassion, which helped project the image beyond any hopes the artist could have held for the piece. This predominant focus on the human condition allowed a stereotypical Romantic piece. Another artist famous for highlighting the human condition was Spanish-born, Pablo Picasso. In 1936 the Spanish government commissioned Picasso to paint a feature piece for their international exposition in Paris at the peak of World War II. Picasso was unsure of what to paint until in 1937 when Nazi warplanes bombed the Spanish town of

Stem Cells Essay - 1746 Words
Introduction The use of stem cells can advance drug development, knowledge of disease, patience specific disease treatment, and can bypass the limits of mouse-models for research. According to the National Institute of Health (1), stem cells are unique in the following ways: they can divide and renew themselves for long periods, they are unspecialized, and they can give rise to specialized cell types. The uniqueness of these stem cells allows for the testing of new drugs, cell-based therapies and the study of human development including cancer research. Human stem cell therapies have been used for the treatment of neurological disease in human clinical trials such as Parkinsonââ¬â¢s disease (2), spinal cord injury (3,4) stroke (5), andâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦Background The generation of stem cells from zygotes and blastomeres retain the ability to create all embryonic and extraembryonic tissues (13) these are deemed ââ¬Ëtotipotentââ¬â¢, while cells that generate embryonic and cannot generate extraembryonic tissues are deemed ââ¬Ëpluripotentââ¬â¢. Induced cells that are in a differentiable state, pluripotent, are the cells chosen to advance medicine. Cells selected for induced pluripotency cannot be terminally differentiated, as these cells lose their ability to be developed into other cells types (14). Pluripotency can be induced by the study of embryonic stem cells. These cells express factors (Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, c-Myc), deemed Yamanaka factors (15) and described as such in this review. There are currently four main methods for delivering these factors including viral vectors, DNA-based induction, RNA molecules and recombinant proteins (fig 1.) (16,17). Fig 1. Induced pluripotent cells from somatic cells by transduction, DNA-based induction, RNA molecules and recombinant proteins, creates a reprogramming wave leading to cells with the potential to become many cell types (16). The equivalency of induced pluripotent stem cells and embryonic stem cells is variable but using screening techniques, bioinformatics assay, cells that are more similar to embryonic stem cells can be selected for cloning techniques (18,19).

The Antilles Fragments of Epic Memory by Walcott
Maud is portrayed as nostalgic as she longs for the music and seasons of her homeland, ââ¬Ëââ¬Å"I miss the light northern rain, I miss the seasons,ââ¬â¢ / Maud moaned implying that the climate lacked subtletyâ⬠(48). This is an emotion that many wives of colonizers felt as they were torn from their home to follow their husband out of love and support. Her character is minor, but it symbolizes the dilemma that Walcott himself goes through. She has an attachment for her European customs and longs to return home, yet she has made St. Lucia her home. Walcott accepts the past for what it wasââ¬âhorrific, but he embraces the influences that have made him one of the ââ¬Å"exotic hybridsâ⬠(ââ¬Å"The Muse of Historyâ⬠56). Maud is an exotic hybrid as she has adapted to the culture of St. Lucia by fusing it with aspects from her homeland. Ireland is her home, but so is St. Lucia. Walcott describes that there were many aspects of St. Lucia that Maud could do without such as, ââ¬Å"moisture rotting their libraryâ⬠¦rain flies...the velocity of passenger transportsâ⬠(61-62). Yet there are many things that she has grown to love: ââ¬Å"[the] elate sunrise would flood Maudââ¬â¢s garden, pouring relentless / light in angelic liliesâ⬠¦Ã¢â¬ËItââ¬â¢s so still. Its like Adam and Eve all over,ââ¬â¢ / Maud whispered, ââ¬ËBefore the snake. Without all the sinââ¬â¢Ã¢â¬ (62-63). She is indeed a true citizen of St. Lucia as she complains about the tourists in the same way the locals do. There is also an interesting relationship between Helen and Maud.

Mtv Research Paper free essay sample
The first song that was played on MTV was called ââ¬Å"Video killed the Radio Starâ⬠. It was sung by a group called The Buggles. This was a very popular song all over and it was deemed a good choice for the first song broadcasted. Many people also believed that the meaning of the song was that MTV, the new music video broadcasting station was going to destroy the radio. Some people thought that the song was performed live, but it was just a video. MTV was quite a big hit by the 1990ââ¬â¢s. It was viewed in over 50 million American homes. It became a target for all advertisers because of the number of young viewers that watched MTV.The kids would beg their parents to buy the products they saw on the advertisements and it made out to be a good investment for advertisers. The attention and money that the advertisers brought in was good for MTV because they got more offers to get commercial time which means more money for them. Some people that were on MTV when it was in its first few years were Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Sheryl Crow, Cranberries, and Nirvana. They helped to kind of kick off the show and set it up for successful years to come. There are also some big-named people who probably played music from that MTV which helped to jump start their career.Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince, Peter Gabriel, U2, and Duran Duran were some of the people that were all a part of MTV at one time. In a way, these people also helped MTV to get a good start too. The more big names that they brought in the more attention they got from viewers. This was good for the singers and MTV. The target audience that MTV chose was teens age 12 to 21. With this age group, they found that they got very good viewing rates. Artists whose songs were played on MTV found that the sales of their song increased.This is what gave advertisers the idea that they could do good business if they had an ad on MTV. With this targeted audience, they also found that their viewing rates continued to rise. Today they still target the same audience and they are still very successful in the way that they draw the audience. There have been a few changes in MTV since the start. They released a new logo after 30 years. It is not much different. It is just a little bit bigger and it is one color. The last was a mix between a few colors. The old one was designed by Frank Olinsky and it was a very big hit, but it was just time for a change.In 1986, the President and CEO, Robert Pittman left. There is no exact explanation why but he did. Over time, they started to show more reality shows than anything else. Some people liked the change to more reality shows but some people like the old school music videos all the time. There were some companies and investors that made it possible for MTV to even start. Warner Communications and American Express were big investors that helped in the starting of the show. Warner Amex was basically the main establisher and owner for about five years after the start.Then, in 1986, Viacom purchased MTV from Warner Amex. Now Viacom is the owner with all rights to MTV. There are other networks that MTV and Viacom own. They own VH1 that was released in 1985 and its purpose was to play adult contemporary. Then, in 1996, MTV2 was released to allow fans to see commercial free music videos. MTV (the original) became available in Manhattan and Los Angeles. Many people called this the second launch of MTV. They also own all Nickelodeon stations, Comedy Central, and CMT. This is not all; it is just a few that you may know. Although MTV has been very popular, it has also had a few controversial shows that some fans did not agree with. ââ¬Å"Beavis and Buttheadâ⬠was very controversial because some viewers felt that it was pointless and that the language was a bad influence for some of the younger audience that watched it. ââ¬Å"Celebrity Deathmatchâ⬠was a part of this list because it made fun of the celebrities and it had bad language and violence. ââ¬Å"16 and Pregnantâ⬠was another show that some people did not like because it could encourage some of the younger viewers to engage in sexual intercourse which is the problem with the people on the show.It is meant to deter kids from ending up like that but it only encourages some. ââ¬Å"Jersey Shoreâ⬠was the last show that people did not agree with. They believe that the people on the show are irresponsible and kids these days may think itââ¬â¢s cool and try to be like them. Over the years, MTV has had an impact on our generation, but also on our parentsââ¬â¢ generation. A lot of younger teensââ¬â¢ parents that are around (14) grow up watching MTV. It is not the same now as it was then because of the popularity in different kinds of music over the years and they are now showing more reality shows.MTV also has an effect on its viewers. Most people that have ever seen MTV are probably hooked on it and they like to watch it. Also, the persuasion by friends to tell other friends to watch it because it is ââ¬Ëcoolââ¬â¢; and you arenââ¬â¢t if you donââ¬â¢t watch it. MTV has been very important over its years in various ways. It has brought a whole new way to experience music. Before MTV, you could only hear music over the radio, but when MTV aired, it played music videos, which was a whole new element to music over all.They have also helped lots of artists to grow and become more popular with just a few minutes of air time. This gas truly helped many people become more popular. With music videos, many people became more persuaded into buying the song even though they may not like the song. Even if they really like the video, they would still buy it because of the video and they werenââ¬â¢t paying attention to the song. It is very smart on the part of the broadcasters because they could just draw in an audience with an exciting video and you would think nothing of the song, just the video.
