ARTICLE 5:Why women laugh more than men?

I read the article of "Why women laugh more than men" written by unknown written. After I read, I think this article is very good for us. It is because this article to answer about why women laugh more than men. Actually, there is no proof that women laugh more than men, but only studies that said it. For example, in Robert Provin's study "Laughter: A Scientific Investigation" has definite limitations. His controls were rlatively small and seem to be less than representative of the whole population. So that, for example in classroom situation the boys liked to be a serious and hush than girls. Such as, the girls active and more laugh than boys. Mybe in this situations, total of boys small than girls so this factor was influenced them to be passive. Beside that, in Provin's idea he said that women laugh more than men in order to attarct them. Actually, the women will laugh when something acts as automatic spontaneous only. Sometimes, the women will laugh not just to attarct men only, but the women need to be in situation where men are present, so in this situation all-female shared humour is excluded and this is another limination. Although in my generalisations, not all women laugh more than men because women are just kinder or more polite in another situation. For example, in 1994 another study (SOCHA 1994) found that fourt grade girls were much less likely to use hurtful jokes that made fun of other people. And Vice Versa.

ARTICLE 6: The Challenge of Becoming Part of the Community.

The article of "The Challenge of Becoming Part of the Community" that I read is very interesting. It is because this article many barely people with situations when becoming involved in a community. People can join a community and become a member at different times in life, but to involve your self in a community will have many challenges. For example, if you decide to delve into social media marketing, you do it with true intention of joining the community. You must become a contributing member, not simply someone looking hock their wares. So how to become a proper member of the community it's simple. You just put your time and focus on adding value to the conversation. And then, you made something that easy for people to known about your product and services you offer. Such as with using your trade mark name for your business etc. Meanwhile, the way to be a good member of the community is from the inspiration factor. For example, one of the things that had attracted us such as from watching the colour and creative. Therefore, that inspiration was the deciding factor that pushed someone into joining the community.
