Differences Between Superman And Superman, Television And Social Media

In the text “Superman and Me” Sherman Alexie tells how he learned to read. He also tells how Indian boys were not focused on in school. The text states, “We were Indian children who were expected to be stupid.” He explains how he was not stupid like the other indian boys he was smart. He states, “I refused to fail. I was smart. I was arrogant. I was lucky.”

As mentioned above the world we live is more connected then ever before. There is websites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram where ones thoughts, opinions, photos and daily life are instantly shared with hundreds of people across the web. My daughters Facebook page, as well as those her friends are filled with pictures also know as “selfies” and questions posted to friends such as, To Be Honest posts. When one posts this question on their “wall”, the idea is to have people write a comment about you “honestly”. Most of the replies are “I don’t really know you but your really pretty” or “I think you’re nice”. Another site that is particularly disturbing is the website RateMe.com where the person posts a picture of themselves and then allows random people to rate them hot or

IT’S no secret that society’s perception of the world and ourselves is strongly shaped by social media. Popular networking sites such as Instragram, Facebook and Tumblr monopolize any current trend, magnifying it and making it widespread and visible.

Fans, comic enthusiasts and TV experts weigh in on the TV series 'Arrow' and 'The Flash' in the wake of the build-up for the upcoming movie, Batman vs. Superman.

Personality allows people to express who they are, but the internet enables people choose and pick what others see. Eli Pariser in “The You Loop” shows how people are selective in what they post and put on their social media pages, because they want to sculpt how others see them. I think that this is extremely true, because I know that I do it all the time. I know that I am very selective about what I post on the internet because it can reflect poorly on me in the, and I care about what other’s think about me. I am also limited to what I can post on my social media pages because of my sorority. Alpha Gamma Delta does not allow sisters to swear, or post pictures of us with alcohol in them. This is partly because the chapter does not want us to further the stereotypes about sororities, and prevent us from looking “impure.” I agree that people make conscious decision to what they post, but peers also influence what is posted.

Social Media is a form of communication in which a person shares information, personal ideas, and thoughts online. The foundation of social media began in 1997 when the first social media site Six Degrees was developed. Since 1997, social media has become an iconic name and has become part of this generation's conversation. There are over 100 million people using social media to gain access to the digital world, with over 20 social media sites including Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram (Milanovic 1). Roughly 80 percent of teens and 20 percent of adults use social media daily and almost half of the users were bullied or criticized for a single comment. Comments that include discrimination, sexism, or political beliefs can be retweeted to thousands in a matter of hours. “Accusations go viral, globally, within hours, and instead of having dozens of angry voices baying for your blood, you have tens of thousands” (Haley 1). Although social media has made it easier to communicate these sites, make it easier to be critical or prejudiced to others online instead of face-to-face.

The character that I saw as the most powerful and the character that was most looked up to by several people was Superman. He was obviously considered the most powerful being before Doctor Manhattan was introduced in Watchmen. Superman has several powers which include superhuman strength, x-ray vision and he is also able to fly. They have several differences such as Doctor Manhattan has lost most of his humanity and Superman is not even a human but he is trying to form a connection with his humanity. Although there is a part of the comic where Doctor Manhattan is looking into a mirror and says “ sometimes I look at myself and think how did things get so tangled up.” ( Moore and Gibbons 3:10) I think that the mistakes that people make is what makes us more human and this is the small piece of humanity that Doctor Manhattan still contains.

There are many similarities and differences between the “Superman 1” and “Man of Steel” film posters. These will be compared with reference to the film posters as a whole. Both the “Superman 1” and “Man of Steel” posters depict the main character of the film, Superman, in one way or another, whether it is through the well-known symbol or Superman flying through the sky himself. The differences between the two films’ posters are apparent.

It’s not a shock to anyone who used social media before or seen magazines, tv shows or billboards and noticed that media represents gender in a stereotypical way. Of the many influences on how we view men and women, media are the most pervasive and one of the most powerful.

Social media is a place where lots of people put themselves forward and project how they want to be seen by people around them. Especially with features such as "liking", "disliking", and commenting, when someone posts a photo to social media they are well aware that they are putting the photo up to be "approved" by society. When I examine my social media presence in relation to the ways in which I "do" gender, there are many very common themes and patterns in which I see myself following. This photo of me picking up my dog at the beach superficially seems like any generic picture that one may see on Instagram, and it is. However, there are underlying reasons as to why I had chosen this photo to represent myself to the people around me on social media. Many of these underlying reasons

To people that have comic book illiteracy, Batman and Superman would seem like they would be pretty similar to each other, which is true but only to a degree. They have similar names, outfits, and both live two different lives, etc. On the other hand, when it comes down to what makes these two men special, they are polar opposites. They have differences in backgrounds, powers, motivations, and in what makes them popular among fans. Despite their similarities in outward appearances, Batman and Superman are exceedingly distinct from one another.

Social networking is helpful for everyone that knows how to use networking in their everyday life. Social Networking is not only going on nationally, It is a vast group, that’s been going on internationally. People from all over the world take part in it. It has information about anything. Anything new, everything old and whatever the reader wants to know. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest are few of the important Social networking sites that are playing an important role, now a day in the life of a person. As of July 2015 there has been a huge increase in the number of people who has started using social networking websites more and more. “76% of American adults online use social networking sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest, as of July 2015, up from 26% in 2008”. (Social Networking 2015). This shows how much increase in social networking has in adults, who are relatively new to this. The youngsters are way ahead and around 98% of the young users are found on the websites like Facebook and Twitter.

In today’s society, social networking sites have almost become a “mandatory” item to have. Without this, certain barriers are created from you, others, and the online world. But, people who are active on social networking sites also open themselves up to social comparison and public scrutiny from the mass piles of information about themselves

Social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Linked In have gained a widespread audience across the world. Although the original intentions of these social sites were positive, these mediums of social interaction now have negative effects.
