MY OPINION:in my opinion the tow major reasons or causes of these riots is police attitude towards the members of the public and also the lazy attitude of the British youths,the way the police handle the situation of mark dugan was very unlawful and unconstitutional,because their was no any substantial evidence to show that mark dugan wanted to shoot the police.on the other hand the British youth are very lazy,here in the UK compare to other countries especially African countries the government are really trying to make life easy to the citizens but some of the youth are not willing to help themselves,government is paying the citizens a considerable amount of money even if you are not working,some of the youth want to live a better and luxurious life but they don not want to work for it and it is a well known fact that success comes with hard work.although some of the rioters are rich,in my opinion the rich people that participated in the riots were just influence by their fellow youths.

QUALITY OF LIFE

It has been a great experience so far,everything is going beyond my expectations,i love everything about my studies here in the UK,the relationship between me and my tutors and class mates as well is really very interesting and i have leaned a lot especially in English language and study skills,However honestly my life after school is really boring,my relationship with the people around me with the exception of my Nigerian colleagues is really not good due to both cultural and religious reasons,as a result i am always missing my family.Moreover due to the fact that i doesn't know how to cook i am finding hard to coup with the British food.

All in all i can say i am very happy to be here because what matters most is the education and i am finding it very interesting,as for the Borden and the change in food i know is just a matter of time,i will surely get use to it as time passes

the word ''POSH''

According to the free dictionary.com posh means'' a classy,elegant,fashionable,exclusive or upper class or gentle.



                                   WORD HISTORY AND ORIGIN


A well known theory or history of the word stated that the word is originated from the initials ''port out starboard home".the ships that use to move passengers in the mid 19centuary between England and India has a first class seat which is more cooler,camp and luxurious as a result it is more expensive.in other to distinguish the first class tickets and the other ordinary tickets  an acronym POSH is stamped on the first class tickets.that's how the word come into existence and this could be seen in the way the word is been use.although their is no concrete evidence to support the theory.

Another word POSH  was used by the British in the 19th century and early 20th century which means a small amount of money and the theory explained that the word is borrowed from the word pash ''half'' according to the on line dictionary the roman origin is more likely to be the true source of the word than the popular port out starboard home. Another theory from UK phrases.org they explained that their is no any reliable evidence in all the theories and histories oh the word.

THE MEDIA INFLUENCE

HEADLINES;''2 dead in Virginia Tech shooting
Two people one of them a police officer were shot dead today at Virginia tech university,the scene of the worst mass shooting in US history in 2007'' the sun .The headlines appeared to be  very informal and critical. The use of "2" in the headline appears to be very informal and also the headline is critical when the writer says : "scene Of the worst mass shooting in US history in 2007".this is in sharp contrast to how the headline was written by raf sanches in the telegraph, the headlines read"Two people killed in Virginia shooting tech. live coverage as police  hunt a shooter who opened fire at Virginia Tech, the site of America's worst campus massacre "the writer wrote "two"instead of 2 and these has make the headline to look more formal.also he made an appropriate euphemism when flashing back to the memories of 2007 massacre by saying "the site of Americas worst massacre"saying worst in history appears to be harsh.

The Telegraph is more informative  than The Sun,details and live coverage of the incident was outlined and explained bit by bit in the telegraph ,and also they gave a lot of information about the 2007 gun man.in the telegraph it was mentioned that the 2007 gun man Seung-Hui Cho by name killed 32 students and staff and his pictures were posted their. on the other hand, in The Sun it was very brief the news is half the length of the one  that is in The Telegraph.the news writer did not give much information about the gun shot and also the flash back of the 2007 massacre was very short and unclear.Equally important the single picture that was posted in the sun is not relevant to the news unlike the different  pictures in the Telegraph.



Considering the length of the news in the sun newspaper direct quotes are many,the direct quotes used in the sun are almost as much as the one used in the telegraph.another point is in the last paragraph in the sun the writer appears to be biased and critical when he says "The university were criticised for their slow response to the incident and were today ensuring students were constantly updated on the gun alert"what the writer says may be true but he appears to be biased,in the telegraph the writer explained what happened in 2007 but he appears to be neutral and left it to the readers to share the views.
