Social Media Influence On America

The American Culture today has changed the way we live. It has made Americans emotional, because of the news that has been told such as national disasters that has come about. These national disasters show American unity and caring. The News Media plays a big part in American Culture because we need to know the truth about what’s going on around us. American Culture and Media are the same in a lot of ways, people want to know that the way they live is not influenced by the wrong and bad things that the culture has and explained by journalist. Without journalism people will be less important such as stars who love paparazzi and the afternoon local news that shows and reports what’s going on around us. Media makes American Culture seems nice and enjoyable for them to live here.

In the present culture of the United States, social media has had a major impact in American society. It has a profound influence and intertwined itself in almost every aspect of the average American’s life. It ranges from providing updates of location of a person(s), events, and sharing personal moments. Even different industries are utilizing social media as a platform for communication, information, and sales mediums. One industry, the health care field has seen a rise in the utilization of social media. For instance, an emerging population of physicians are using social media apps such as Snap Chat, Facebook, and YouTube to educate, display surgical, and medical procedures while being performed. In contrast, as there are positive aspects of utilizing social media, a negative trait of social media is invading and exposing individual’s privacy. As of recent, a New York licensed nurse had to surrender her nursing license and sentenced to 3 years of probation for “moral unfitness in the practice (Bowerman, 2016).” She took photos with her phone of two unconscious male patient’s genitalia and shared them with coworkers. This has become an increasing issue and as the utilization of social media in healthcare is increasing, many ethical issues are developing. For instance, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) was passed for the adoption of a national standard for electronic health care transactions and code sets, unique health identifiers,

When it comes to entertainment especially in today's day and age the world revolves around it. You have to realize that personally I don't know one person who doesn't wake up every morning and look at their phone for missed text or to check their social media and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. There are many different ways that various forms of entertainment media have shaped American culture and its value. Starting off I think the one thing that really started the whole social media hype was Myspace because it gave people a real opportunity to express themselves and really show the world their talents and ideas, yes YouTube gave the world a chance to look at different people's talent and ideas but Myspace gave you a chance to express really yourself and share your current

On September 26, 1960 the presidential debate was televised for the first time. Kennedy was charismatic and confident, while Nixon seemed flustered. This made Nixon seem like a bad choice for president. For Obamas's election, he used social media in his favor with the most shared thread ever. Social media is important to presidential election because it keeps people up-to-date, makes some candidates more popular, and has influenced past elections.

If I could get deep about anything, I would want to write about the influence that social media has on the 2016 presidential election. I am very interested in the media and sociology, and am fascinated by the role that the media is playing in this election. Through research, I found that social media has an important role in the election because it creates a platform for candidates to connect with citizens, allows people to support presidential campaigns and gives the public access to news and important information.

Social media has exploded in American culture because it makes our lives easier and the world a better place. Hard to imagine there was no Facebook or Twitter just 12 years ago.

Now that we have smartphones it is nice that we can look up addresses to certain places and be able to get the navigation application direct you to the location.

This has helped me a lot at my job.

During the 2000s there were many events going on like terrorism attacking the United States. Also during that time social media was booming like MySpace. It was a way for me to communicate with family relatives around the earth. Social media was a good way to stay connected and relive moments that our family had created in the past. Those moments like gathering to welcome a new year with food, music and dancing to having conversations about our families past generation.

On the internet, when the politics news come around, people put their own opinion about campaigns, government and activism.

However, with change comes positive and negative influences. Social media tends to have a more negative influence on Americans rather than positive because of how media portrays ideal body image, celebrities’ actions, and ultimately giving indirect permission to bullying, which can result in suicide.

The internet makes the world feel a lot smaller and clearly much more connected. It has been used as a means to receive and transmit information in mere seconds across the globe.

I looked at several news websites from around the world and looked into how they portray news to their audience.

The Media has a drastic impact on how American Citizens as well as foreign countries view American Democracy. It sets the agenda for what is mainly talked about as well as frames how those stories should be laid out. The media often conducts polls, surveys etc. but they don’t have any scientific value and aren’t random. Many factors can alter the data. For example, people may not always be truthful in their answers especially when talking about sensitive topics. The media can also have political bias; therefore, they will develop a story to benefit their party. Although social media has become a big platform for getting the news out there is has hindered the value of news that we are getting.
