Facebook And Utilitarianism

Well, today, social networks play a major role in building friendships. It states in our book, “Wang and Wellman documented that the quality of the friendship networks in adults age 25 to 74 was good overall and actually improving” (Kali & Cavanaugh, 2015). Personally, I am one of the very rare teenagers that don’t use social media. There are times when I think about creating a Facebook page though, because I do think that social networks help improve the quality of friendships. It states in our book, “Online connections can facilitate strong commitment between friends; research shows that most adults who have online, committed friendships report that those friendships can get stronger and that such friendships go through the same cycles as traditional, face-to-face ones” (Kali & Cavanaugh,

Facebook has definitely revolutionized communication and can be fun and convenient when it is used properly. My family has always been close knit and no matter where we are in the world we are always able to actively keep in contact thanks to communication means such as Facebook.

Social Networking in a more analytical context is defined as a community of network members which are technically called Nodes. Nodes most commonly differentiate as persons or organisations; if a singular unit can be connected this can be identified as a node. The connections of nodes are usually made based on relations of common interest. Network analysts study the pattern of attraction towards masses of nodes that are connected and this is the structure of how a social network is formed (Scott, Carrington 2011, pp. 11-12).

I really sure everyone come to Facebook will once have found a friend from our childhood that we though could not see them again. That is a miracle to think how Facebook could do that, it analyses our profile data base and suggest friends that we may know and interest in making friend. From those who have family and friends from the other side of the earth like me, Facebook help we show love and attention to the one we care. Facebook can help we make new friends tremendously easy by enable add up to thousands of friends thru mutual friend. Young people nowadays afraid to talk in real life and Facebook make them feel better so a lot of college relationships start from

People use their Facebook accounts to reach out to others. Usually it is just family and friends but other times there is a need to reach a much larger group that expands past those people. There is no denying that Facebook has been the recipient of some controversy over the years but there is also no denying the good that can come from it as well.

Like  snapchat facebook has good and bad effects.More bad than good..Facebook makes it easier for predator to get your attention. Either with a cute picture of a boy or a girl. Something that you can’t resist . It also makes it easy to get cyberbullied. On facebook people can hack your page, steal your profile information,and tag you on inappropriate post. Also facebook starts gossip . which leads to fighting between teenagers. Teenagers getting hurt is never good especially for their parents.

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

Facebook was designed to help people connect and communicate with each other. However, Zuckerberg himself said “…you know, Facebook is not a static thing…” (Zuckerberg, Highlights from Q&A with Mark). This constant transformation of Facebook is slowly but surely pushing the boundaries of what we as humans had and has gradually given us something of which the implications go far beyond what anyone could have imagined 11 years ago when Facebook was first

Technology has progressed profoundly over the past decade or so making communication easier and keeping past friendships alive. While this may be a good way to expand relations and get to know more people, do you really know all of those 1256 friends you have on facebook? Probably not. Technology and social media give us a window into other people’s lives that we would have no idea about without these websites. Granted that with it we are connected to many more people, technology i believe actually takes away from and hinder real life social interaction. Maria Konnikova mentions in her article “The Limits of Friendship” that according to Robin Dunbar’s research that there are layers of friendship. A person’s five closest friends or support group, 15 friends they could go to for comfort or sympathy, 50 close friends and 150 casual friends and a person can put together about 1500 names with faces at the absolute most.

# FACEBOOK : Facebook is one site where you 're likely to find friends, colleagues and relatives floating all around you. Although Facebook is mainly centered around sharing photos, links and quick thoughts of personal nature, individuals can also

Going into the positives of the declination of interpersonal communication, the first one is; bringing people together. People have always found ways to try and stay connected to loved ones and friends, but it was much harder before without the current advances of technology that we have today. Many people have turned to using facebook as a big source of staying connected to each other. According to Dawley, using facebook statistics as a direct source, “The platform has 1.71 billion

I know you have shown concern with the security of Facebook. I may have scared you off by talking about hacking peoples accounts. I did it for science, by understanding how the real hackers go about it, I can help prevent it from happening to myself or to you. The people I hacked, I gave their accounts back, with some tips for being more secure. My goal is to persuade you into setting up a Facebook account by making you aware of the benefits that you are missing out on, and teaching you how to become part of Facebook without putting all your information out there for the world to find, inform

With regards to this, it is important to remember that Facebook can never replace human contact. Minister Glen Guyton says this in a CBN News interview, "I think it's a good way to connect, pull together and follow up with young people, but it could never replace a face-to-face conversation. You still have to talk to people and develop a relationship with them. Online, you lose something in translation, like touching someone and the laying on of hands [when you pray for them]" (Gosier 3). As humans, we are created by God to be in relationships with each other; He made us to respond to physical contact. If you solely rely on a social networking site to do all of your socializing, then you are going against the way that God has created you. Using Facebook is all about balancing virtual and physical relationships with those around you.

Because students often post detailed and specific information on Facebook (including phone numbers, addresses, class schedules, social plans, etc.) you can be more easily stalked by strangers (or even acquaintances).

Social networks have changed the ways we interact with each other enormously. One thing that has changed dramatically is the concept of meeting people. This was brought to my attention a couple of weeks ago, when I met a musician for the first time, whom I had casually crossed online a couple of times. Oddly enough, none of us acted as if this were a “first meeting.” Another thing that called my attention was when another musician said from the stage “thank you for coming; because a lot of people say they are attending on Facebook but they never show up.” This also made me think about how much time we are devoting to talking about Facebook, even when we are offline, and how many times we log on to Facebook to show our friends something, even during actual person-to-person meetings or social gatherings.
