So many users of the internet blindly browse and post on these sites without any thought to the online identity they are creating for themselves. Shares, tweets, hashtags, likes, and comments all combine to make up an amalgamation of marketable information. In November of 2016, an average of six thousand tweets were made per second, and ninety-five million Instagram posts were made per day (Sayce; Parker). Facebook “has become the largest database of personal information ever collected,” says Richard, and Facebook takes advantage of this. With almost two billion users, Facebook has no shortage of information to gather (Sparks). They do this mainly for targeted advertising. There is no small profit to be made in this. In 2011 Lori Andrews wrote, “Facebook made $3.2 billion in advertising revenue last year, 85% of it's total revenue.” However, Facebook and other internet corporations also relay data gathered on users to the

“Why asking for a Job Applicant’s Facebook Password is Fair Game” by Alfred Edmond Jr. discusses on the argument whether or not an employer should have access to the Facebook account of their future employee. Edmond accounts for multiple events in his essay where asking Facebook password is a fair game, and also describes events where it’s not a fair game to ask for employee password. Inclusively, Edmond pivots on both views of the argument with great deal of explanation. Edmond explains argument on whether or not an employer should give access to their Facebook account with logic and his experience in the business sector.

Throughout the essay “Our secret” by Susan Griffin, Griffin talks about a few characters’ fears, secrets and she gives us insights into these “secrets”. Griffin comes to realize her own secrets and fears by examining others. She relates to a few of the characters such as Himmler, Leo, Helene and everyone else even though she is different than all of them. The only thing that all of these characters have in common is that they all represent human emotion. Susan Griffin reveals that everyone has a hidden side to them and anything being showed on the outside could be fake or a false representation of themselves. “I think of it now as a kind of mask, not an animated mask that expresses the essence of an inner truth, but a mask that falls like dead weight over the human face.” (Griffin 237) This quote explains what she means about secrets being the barrier to others’ feelings and having this mask hides what you really feel on the inside.

On average women spends $1,832.55 while men spend $691.52 on personal hygiene. In Deborah Tannen’s essay “There is no unmarked woman” Tannen states that it is inevitable for a women to be unmarked. Tannen assert that ways a women is marked include the makeup a woman wears, her clothes, and the amount of jewelry she has on. I agree with Tannen because women aren't able to fully express themselves like men due to the stamp society has placed on us.

Senior vice president and editor of the magazine Black Enterprise, Alfred Edmond Jr., in his article, Why Asking for a Job Applicant’s Facebook Password Is Fair Game, addresses the topic of employers asking their employees for a Facebook password. He argues that is certain special cases an employee should give up their password, but not for just any job. He also brings up the point that an employer should have the ability to ask for access. He supports his claim by establishing his credibility, appealing to the reader’s emotion, and providing facts and incidents. Edmond’s purpose is to bring light to both sides of the argument of whether or not asking for a Facebook password is fair game. Alfred Edmond Jr. adopts an understanding tone because he understands both sides of the argument. Edmond’s ability to consider different points of view is what makes his article affective.

In “Our Secret” by Susan Griffins she examines and illustrates history, particularly World War II. Throughout the essay, Griffin looks into different characters hidden secrets and influences which are portrayed in detail. For example, Griffin talks about a childs influences during his childhood and how great the outcome that followed later in his adult life. An example of secrecy is followed through in the life of a girl who's family secrets revealed consequences in her adult life. In Our Secret, concealed secrets and influences in our lives are precisely shown in multiple stories.

In 2012, Congress failed to pass the ban of employers asking employees to disclose Facebook passwords. Due to this hot topic, author and Senior Vice President/Chief Content Officer of Black Enterprise Alfred Edmond Jr. was asked “Should business owners be allowed to ask job applicants for their Facebook passwords?” when he aired on MSNBC’s television show Your Business. After answering “Yes” to the question, Alfred Edmond Jr. wrote and published on his own website Black Enterprise, “Why Asking For A Job Applicant’s Facebook Password Is Fair Game,” to go more in depth about his answer. Author Alfred Edmond Jr. admits that if he were on a show called Your Career, he would have answered differently to this question. He says that he would

Dvorak’s argument is of little conjecture. While the text starts by commenting on Facebook’s “cavalier lack of concern over privacy issues, it continues down a completely different path, criticizing the users instead. This falsely-led introduction brings the readers to believe that the article is about privacy concerns instead of the ignorant mannerisms of the people using it.

Do you give it up or is this a ridiculous question? Alfred Edmond Jr. writes in his written piece, Why Asking for a Job Applicant’s Facebook Password Is Fair Game, how he believes that asking for a social media password is not pushing it too far. Although he admits this is coming from the business owner point of view. In the position of a future employee, being

At first I agreed wholeheartedly that Facebook sells their clients’ information to businesses and potentially the government itself, after all Google is known to do the same with their search engine. However after I thought and analyzed the language he uses to describe how Facebook uses their “transparency”, I realize that he may very well be overblowing the situation.

"I don't know. Why do you people talk about every aspect of their lives on Facebook? 'I'm gone to the doctor's office.' That's great. Now I can rob you."

Because adolescents are growing up with more access to social networking, texting and instant messaging on various sites have become prime means of communication. While this is not necessarily bad, many people feel the need to over-share things about their personal lives online. More and more people are using Facbeook and more and more employers are using Facebook to scope out potential employees. If there are inappropriate pictures and comments all over someone’s Facebook page, they are more likely to not receive the job. Some students get in trouble for things they post on Facebook and Twitter. Some users are beginning to notice this and have started deactivating their accounts to regain a sense of privacy. CNN’s article “The anti-social network: Life without Facebook”, states that some students who are trying to maintain a professional image for future employment are deleting their pages.

Facebook is a well know social networking site that has taken all over the world with over 500 million people using the site. Social networking sites such as Facebook share information about the user over the Internet, where it can be freely accessed by anyone. This is where issues of privacy to the individual arise. As

Employers and schools nowadays evaluate applicants from their social media accounts. For example, the applicant’s Facebook profile could be used to get information such as age, residence and even academic history. What worries Joanna Stern in the article, “Demanding Facebook Passwords May Break Law, Say Senators” is the fact that employers and schools require employees and students to give their Facebook passwords to access their profiles. This practice poses unanticipated legal liabilities. Thus, government officials have rose against the practice. Indeed, requiring a user to share Facebook account’s password for access to the user’s profile is morally wrong and does not meet its intended objective.
