Internet Browser Software Review

Why Internet Browsers?

An internet browser is a software application that enables you to browse the world wide web, locating and accessing webpages. Browsers translate HTML code, allowing you to read text, view images, play videos and listen to audio clips on websites. They also interpret hyperlinks that allow you to travel to different webpages when clicked on. While internet browsers are primarily intended to access the internet, they can also be used to access private information on web servers or through file systems.

Internet Browsers: What to Look For

Heavy web users need an internet browser that is both fast and secure, and though all browsers enable internet access, not all are created equal. Different browsers can render webpages differently, and there can be a large disparity in performance between the top competitors. The three main things to consider when choosing an internet browser are simplicity, speed and security. Excelling in each of these areas, Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer are among the current best internet browsers. To learn more, check out our side-by-side comparisons and articles on internet browsers. The following is the in-depth criteria we used to evaluate the best internet browsers on the market.

Feature Set – A web browser should provide practical, convenient features that make surfing the web easy and fast. For instance, a browser should offer tabbed browsing, a customizable toolbar and an integrated search engine. For a more personalized web experience, the browser should also provide the ability to save bookmarks, set parental controls and create RSS feeds. Generally speaking, the more features an internet browser provides, the better.

Security – While online security measures have come a long way since the inception of the internet, the web is still rife with security risks, namely small-scale attacks to hack electronic data. Security features such as privacy settings, a pop-up blocker and antispyware enable safe internet surfing and help keep personal information such as passwords secure.

Speed & Compatibility – Web browsers should load quickly and be compatible with all major operating systems. We tested the speed of each browser in our lineup using the same Windows 7 system and a stopwatch, timing how quickly each one initially started up and was able to navigate between websites. A top internet browser will load and navigate between pages within just a few seconds.

Ease of Use – The best internet browsers are those that strike a seamless balance between features and ease of use. While features on a web browser are important, they become worthless if a browser’s interface hinders your ability to utilize them. Web browsers should boast an intuitive layout that fosters easy and convenient navigation.

Help & Support – Although some internet browsers are open source and therefore not supplemented with dedicated technical support, we still considered the quality of support options available. When it comes to internet browsers, available support can come in many forms, ranging from FAQs to tutorials, email support to a product manual.

While all internet browsers will provide access to the internet, selecting a fast and secure one will ensure safe and enjoyable online browsing. At TopTenREVIEWS We Do the Research So You Don't Have To.™

Poverty

Poverty is the inability to provide for one’s basic needs of life such as food, clothing, shelter and education.

Causes of poverty

a.      The primary cause of poverty is laziness.

b.      When someone has a very large family size and also takes care of the extended family, he/she is likely to be poor unless he has a lot of means of making money.

c.       People in a society where there is a low level of education, poor economy and high level of illiteracy will be poor.

d.      Where natural resources are few and where people do not develop the available ones.

Consequences of poverty

a.      Poor people do not have the means to give adequate education to their children. This could lead to a great loss to the society.

b.      Where there is poverty, the quality of life must also be poor.

Control or alleviation measures of poverty

a.      Government should establish agencies to train people on skilled acquisition.

b.      Government should make space for those still in school to acquire basic skills.

Government should encourage people to work hard on the jobs they know.

Drug trafficking

Drug trafficking is an act of dealing or trading in illicit drugs such as cocaine, heroin, marijuana (Indian hemp) etc.

            Dealers obtain these drugs from various sources, distribute them through various sources and by various means of transportation – land, sea, air etc to reach their destinations across the world and within the shortest time possible. Some even swallow quantities of cocaine with the hope of excreting the substance when they get to their final destination. There, they will wash and sell the substance to users.

Reasons for trafficking in drugs

a.      The simplest reason is ignorance. Some people who are caught trafficking in drugs do not know what they carry. They just oblige or assist the owner to “deliver parcels” to somebody else across their borders.

b.      Some traffic in drugs because they are otherwise unemployed. They just think it is another way of getting jobs to do.

c.       Some are too poor to take care of their needs and those of their families. To such people, drug trafficking becomes attractive alternative to poverty.

d.      Some see it as a way of making a lot of money. Some do not see it as “dirty” or “blood money” until they are caught and jailed by law enforcement agents.

e.       Some make a lot of money from it and now want to shown “show off” this wealth at parties and at different social gatherings.

Consequences of drug trafficking

a.      Because drug trafficking causes a lot of harm, many countries have harsh rules against offenders. For example, in countries like Saudi Arabia and Singapore, drug traffickers are killed when they are caught. They do not send offenders to jail.

b.      In many other countries, drug traffickers are jailed – sometimes for life.

c.       Drug traffickers bring shame to themselves, their families and their countries.

Preventing drug trafficking

a.      Many people involved in drug trafficking do not know the dangers involved in the business, therefore, a lot of education is needed.

b.      Government should come up with programmes that would eradicate poverty and unemployment in the society.

c.       A very stiff law against drug trafficking should be enacted by parliament.

d.      Agencies involved in the fight against drug trafficking should be adequately equipped.

Drug Abuse

Drugs are the medicine we take when we are ill. They help us get well quickly. Sometimes, some people take drugs to change the way their brains work. We, therefore, describe drugs as substances that cause physical or mental changes in the body.

            Drugs that can be produced, sold and used legally are called licit drugs. Some examples are synthetic drugs made in factories either in tablet, syrup, liquid or powder forms. Others are drugs from natural sources like herbs, juices from trees or fruits of trees, shrubs, roots, lemon grass, pawpaw leaves. These are not processed in factories, but they are known by our parents, and have been used over and over again to cure or prevent illness.

            Drugs that are not permitted by the law are illicit drugs. Examples are cocaine, heroin, marijuana (Indian hemp) and so on.

            When licit drug is taken in excess or without prescription by a qualified doctor or pharmacist, it is abused. Illicit drugs, which are mainly mind-altering substances, are used to alter a person’s state of mind or consciousness.

Forms of drug abuse:

Substances other than food that affect the chemistry and functions of the body thereby causing abnormal changes in behaviour includes: cocaine, heroin, marijuana (Indian hemp), various pain killers e.g. Panadol. When we are guilty of drug abuse, it means we have:

i.                    Taken drugs which isn’t recommended by a physician;

ii.                  Taking expired drugs;

iii.                Taking drugs that isn’t recommended for our health;

iv.                 Taking drugs that is less or more than the required dosage.

Reasons why people abuse drugs:

The six main reasons why people abuse drugs are:

a.      Some see it as a form of relaxation.

b.      Some use it as an escape from frustration or emotional stress.

c.       Some want to show they are matured to do many things.

d.                              Some people want to imitate what their peer group does so as o belong.

e.                               Some believe drugs can make you feel bolder than he/she is by nature.

f.                                As a result of neglect by parents for a reason or the other.

Consequences of drug abuse:

i.                    On individuals

Drug abuse is one of the greatest damage one can do to oneself. Those who indulge in it:

a)                  Perform poorly in school.

b)                  Are never thorough in what they do because they are no longer balanced mentally.

c)                  Lie, cheat and steal (to get money to buy more drugs);

d)                  Make friends and family to avoid them because they can cause bodily harm to people without notice.

e)                  Fear and suspect other people.

ii.                  On the community

a)       Drugs do a lot of damage to the body and, therefore, to health. Pregnant women who are drug addicts could have miscarriage or give birth to babies that are malformed.

b)      There would be an increase in health problems in the community.

c)      Many people who are drug addicts get rusticated from their various institution and end up in crime related offences.

iii.                On the nation

a)      The nation would have to spend more money on security to protect lives and property of innocent citizens.

b)      The nation will spend more money on health of those who misbehaves and indulge in drug abuse.

c)      The nation loses the contribution of those set of people to development.

iv.                 On the international community

a)      Drug addicts force people to do bad things.

b)      Countries where these people come from are marked down and rated badly in the comity of nations.

c)      They cause international fear, disturb the peace of the world, and make nations spend money which should have been gone to development programmes on security and defence.

Ways of discouraging drug abuse:

a)      The first and major measure is education. The citizenry must be enlighten about the dangers of drug abuse.

b)      Avoid peer pressure from their peers.

c)      Parents should monitor their children and the type of friends they keep.

d)      Family should avoid divorce which leads to broken homes and leaves the children uncared for.

e)      Government should ban the use and sale of illicit drugs and punish offenders.

f)        Victims of drug abuse should go or rehabilitation.

Group behaviour

Group behaviour shows quiet clearly in the actions and activities of the groups which we talked about earlier on. These are primary and secondary social groups.

Generally speaking, group behaviour can be categorized into two. We can easily see this in mass action and in community services.

Mass Action: mass action is an essential part of the way the secondary social group behaves. Mass action takes place when people come together in large numbers to show or register their displeasure against or their support for any issue or any policy of authorities e.g. community, local government, state or federal authorities. People readily join secondary group activities to protest what they think is for public good.

            The first of such organized mass action before Nigeria’s independence was the Aba women riot in 1929. Then the women at Aba (now Abia state) protested poll tax imposed on them as women. The protest was against the colonial administration as we had not gained independence then.

            The secondary mass action was immediately after Nigeria secured independence in1960. The very first session of the newly inaugurated Nigerian house of Representative and Senate of newly independent Nigeria passed into law an Anglo-Nigeria Defence Pact which provided military bases for the departing colonial power in Kano.

Late chief Obafemi Awolowo, then premier of the West Region, was the first to raise an objection to the pact. Soon after, Nigerian students rose in mass rallies against the pact which they saw as a loss of their national sovereignty and an indirect way of making Britain to continue to rule. In 1961, the Anglo-Nigerian defence pact was abrogated.

            Since then, people have organised mass rallies in different parts of the country to protest hike in petroleum prices, poor conditions of service of workers, teachers, health workers, petrol tanker drivers etc.

Other mass actions include;

A)     Political mass action: As democracy develops, people also have the opportunity to organise mass rallies to protest or support choice of candidates they do not want or desire for their communities for elective offices. People carry placards or even dangerous weapons to make the authorities know their minds.

Also, parties or people now protest results of elections which they consider unfair or rigged.

B)     Religious mass action: Usually, believers go out to popularise beliefs and faith. But at times, there are religious mass actions when people feel that some groups ridicule or undermine their religious beliefs. Such actions are sometimes violent. These are often mixed with other conditions in the society.

Child Labour and trafficking (Modern day Slavery)

Trafficked children are commodities; they are brought, sold and transported according to supply and demand. The victims can be as young as five years old. For example, a woman from Sokoto state said: ‘... the woman gave me fifty thousand naira to take care of my children. She promised to find my son a job and said that I would receive some money every month. I thanked God, because I thought that I had at last found a way of taking care of my nine children. I had no idea what she really had in mind for my child!’

This case is by no means exceptional. An estimated 10,000 to 20,000 Malian children work on plantations in Cote d’Ivoire – many of them victims of trafficking. Nigeria reports that in 1996, some 4,000 children were trafficked from Cross River Staten to various places within and outside the country. Benin registered over 3,000 trafficked children between 1995 and 1999.

Although most children are voluntarily handed over, cases of children being kidnapped for trafficking are increasing. In Sokoto state, Nigeria, kidnapped children were sold for amounts ranging from 50,000 to 150,000 naira.

What are the causes?

1)      Poverty is the main factor. As families often have little or no choice, the decision to hand a child over to an intermediary is made without considering the consequences or counting the price to be paid in the future.

2)      Child trafficking is also made easier by traditions and customs. For example, children placed with higher-income family members, sometimes wind up being exploited.

3)      Another cause is the break-up of traditional family structures, as people move into towns.

4)      Greed is also a factor.

Ghana reported that mothers not only give away their children as a response to poverty, but also out of greed and self-fulfilment. They try to achieve, through their children, what they have not been able to do themselves.’

The majority of trafficked children come from large, poorly educated families of more than five children, living in rural areas. Although some countries have laws which enable them prosecute traffickers, violators are rarely punished and customs officials mostly turn blind eye.

Often the children end up as domestic workers, but employers can also be found in sectors like bars or restaurants, garages and plantations. Often, they come from aboard: for example, in Ivory Coast, children are trafficked from Mali to work on plantations owned by Malians.

Payments to the children are often very low. Children sometimes work for nothing because they must repay costs incurred by their employer. In these cases, children often end up working for several years without any income. These children can work from 10 to 20 hours a day, carry heavy loads, operate dangerous tools and lack adequate food or drink. Nigeria reports that one out of five trafficked children dies of illness or mishaps. Others catch sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS.

Many of the children become badly affected by terrible working conditions, ill-treatment and diseases, and this leads to crime, drug taking or long-term mental disorders. Many West African countries now recognise the problem and are taking action, and now have agreement for sending victims home, and punishing traffickers.
