Media In Social Media

Congress, 80% of our representatives use social media to engage with constituents. That has never been done before and is changing how politicians respond. We even see some votes in Congress made based on their Facebook feedback.”(The Economic) The Internet is like being there in the whole scene. Missing out information is impossible, a simply Google search, all the information is stored. When computers came out, it cost thousands, now it’s cheaper and faster. There’s tablets and phones with the opportunity to surf the web. More than half the candidates have some type of social media, either them or a fan.

The advertisement is successful in communicating to its targeted audience of social media users as it utilises symbolization of the Facebook ‘like’ feature (semiotic) in the form of thumbs-up gestures. This appeals to social media users as the audience is aware of social media philanthropy, which have enveloped first-world countries. However, in the ad, the thumbs-up is exaggerated ironically in contrast with the situation. This is constructed as to portray how minimal support from the audience is provided to such crises, contradicting the gestures presumed purpose. The rhetorical effect of the thumbs-up gesture is amplified by repetition, and the repeating elements expand the effect of the thumbs-up image. The numerous amounts of the thumbs-up icon indicate the many hands of a widespread audience on social media access information about the crises, but instead of taking action for the improvement of the crisis they perpetuate the leisurely pleasures in their own lives. This provokes a feeling of guilt (emotional appeal) in social media users as they are the ones who are virtually imitating this act; this advertisement is similar to a knife piercing through the hypocrisy of social media users of attempting to associate with a good, but not really making any effort towards the improvement. The amplification produced by the repetition of the thumbs-up icon also develops satire towards Facebook philanthropy, indicating that the audience publicising crises is not actually

Participating in the creative world of media has been a tradition and a necessity for me since I was a young girl.

Numerous local governments are not taking the advantage of Facebook, Twitter, and other social media

The internet has allowed for the creation of social media. Today, “69% of the public uses some type of social media” (Pew); and as we’ve seen, celebrities use social media, too. Social media has even been known to produce celebrities in its own right – in other words, individuals have become famous strictly through means of the internet. People may envy the lifestyles of the rich and famous; or they may feel a sense of connection. But, passive envy or interest in the lives of celebrities does not stop there for some. Sometimes individuals become fanatical and develop a rich adulation for one or more celebrities. In fact, in 2002 the Celebrity Worship Scale (CWS) was introduced by McCutcheon, Lange, and Houran (Sansone R. and L.). Findings reveal that celebrity worshipping individuals often display psychosocial characteristics such as sensation-seeking, cognitive rigidity, identity diffusion, and poor interpersonal boundaries (Sansone R. and L.). They have concerns about body image and are more prone to cosmetic surgery (Sansone R. and L.), which in countries like the United States may be influenced by an overwhelming obsession with beauty and appearance. “It is not surprising that a society that once used skin color to determine social status should continue to emphasize the superiority of specific physical traits and to encourage people to acquire these desired traits through plastic surgery” (Haviland et. al. 289). Intense celebrity worshippers also have a higher chance of

The emergence of the smart phone, and the age of social media has been similarly disruptive in its effect on American political and social life as the television. Like the television, it too has increased social distance, but for decidedly different reasons. The great irony about Facebook, Twitter and other forms of social media is that the claim to bring the world “closer together” when in fact contributing to social isolation. This is because social media, created the concept of personalized news, which allows individuals to choose what information they receive. While at first this seems like a positive, and deserving of celebration, no more tyranny of the television owners, it actually is deeply problematic in that individuals tend to choose to receive all their information from like-minded individuals. As a collective, group tend to isolate themselves into their own echo chambers, because they do not want to be uncomfortable and have their ideas challenged. These polarized silos, occasionally referred to as safe spaces, limit public discourse and are very confining in nature, because people no longer confront others with different perspectives. It is in this modern world, of information bubbles, and confirmation biases understanding for those with different opinions has decreased. Rather than solving this system, thus actually contributes, to the oppression of religious, and racial minorities, as well as the economically disadvantaged because it is precisely this

Media plays a significant role in everybody’s life in modern day society, it consumes vast amounts of our time, entertains us, and even shapes our identity. Being such a powerful tool it could do a vast amount of good to help our world, but on the other hand it could cause extreme damage if mismanaged. What makes media so influential is that it captivates so much of our time making it possible to alter our views without us even knowing. Americans average an astounding 700 minutes per day viewing different forms of media from watching television to scrolling on social media. Women have been unfairly portrayed from the media by being focused on their body rather than their intelligence and character as a human being. From movies to news reports women seem to be given roles or discussed, because of their body image seemingly only to provide entertainment for young men, which just happens to be the primary audience most networks try to reach. By only giving roles to “beautiful women” that all look very similar we take away opportunities from others and create an unobtainable body standard that can be psychologically damaging to women and men. In the future if we promote media literacy and start creating more realistic media outlets that create equality for women it could make our world a much better place.

The Internet allows for the widespread dissemination of information and ideologies amongst individuals and their communities (Subrahmanyam, Reich, Waechter, & Espinoza, 2008). On the Internet, divergent groups whose values differ from mainstream society can congregate and form like-minded digital communities. Technology and culture reflexively influence and perpetuate each other. One technological area heavily influenced by existing and changing cultural norms are social networking sites (SNS). Social networking sites, especially larger ones like Facebook and Twitter, reflect societal values through their upholding of rules and regulations for content and usage (Subrahmanyam et al., 2008). For instance, sites may ban hate speech, pornography, or defamation in a manner similar to laws and common practices in the non-digital world (“Facebook Terms of Service,” 2016; “Twitter Terms of Service,” 2016). But what happens when a deviant community grows large enough to warrant its own social media platform? To what extent should media conglomerates like Apple and Google act as gatekeepers who determine access to these communities? This is currently occurring with a new controversial social networking site called “Gab” whose attempts to launch an application in the App Store with Apple and Play Store with Google have failed (“Google Faces Lawsuit,” 2017; Hayden, 2017; Morris, 2017). This paper aims to examine how consumers view Apple and Google’s rejection of the application. Do
