A growing hot topic, and cause for concern is the increasing use of social media in the workplace. The landscape for communication has changed, and the line between personal and professional communications has been blurred. How will your employer manage the risks associated with the use of social media and at the same time, gain the benefits that this media form provides? While many employers were initially concerned that employees would use company time and equipment for socializing with friends, they are quickly learning that many social networks can also be used directly for work purposes.

Many people have begun discussing the effects of social media due to the fact that it is everywhere now. Social media is where teens express their feelings and opinions. Colleges and jobs are now looking into the applicant's social sites because by seeing their social media lets them get to know more about the person. Many social sites make the applicant look unprofessional and likely to be immature about anything they do. The recruiters go through all this trouble to see if they are right for the college or for the job. If the person who is looking through all of this sees different they they automatically get the job or enter the school without any doubt, for the reason that they do not have a bad report.

Nowadays people post a lot of their photos, thoughts and opinions on different social media platforms. Facebook, Instagram, snapchat. And there are plenty more. While people post on those social medias, other people judge them and their work. Why is it like that? When did it become socially acceptable to start telling strangers that you don’t like their appearance? When did it become a common hobby? Judging someone’s life by pictures without even knowing how it is in reality. Does anyone really out there think that it’s alright? Well, it’s not. It is really not alright to judge someone’s confidence to share something with the community. About 4,400 deaths happen each year because of judgment like this on social media.

There was a lot of items on my social media sights that I never thought of to be considered inappropriate, but after I thought about it they really were. They weren’t inappropriate in the sense that there was exposure or there were pictures of me drinking or smoking, but there were profane words that I found and also many other pictures or posts that I wouldn’t find appropriate for a teacher to have on her profile.
