13. 3. Social practice
• In this news tells of a man who died while
being selfie in the shore, where men were
dragged by the waves. The important thing in
this news is about SELFIE itself where it seem
trivial, but it can has a negative effect.

14. • Selfie or self-portrait is still popular with many people.
Although seem trivial, it turns selfie store various risks
that endanger, ranging from the security of personal
data and loss of life.
There are a lot of events that cause so many people
died because selfie.for example, a woman who was air-
selfie on the beach Bajulmati, South Malang, East Java,
on Sunday (17/05/2015), was killed abject,next the
Students Atma Jaya eri Yunanto (20) Fall slips while
selfie and he fell 300 meters in the crater of Merapi
and there are many more other news which tells died
because selfie.

15. So the impact of this occurrence is provide a
lesson for all of us, that selfie can be life-
threatening if not done properly. so be careful
when you're trying to capture the moment by
using cameras, mobile phones, and other
media.

16. So, the most important thing that should be
known while selfie is note the location, this is
the first thing that must be considered, we
must be aware of the conditions around us.
For this reason, we recommend selfie
performed on a flat, not done in close with
steep cliffs or other dangerous places. So the
people should be more careful while using the
camera for selfie.
