Society Act 1 Scene 1

Social media has captivated young and adult equally, but young kids are more vulnerable to the negative effects of social media. In the essay writing by Peggy Orenstein, she is troubled by the way young boys and girls are submerged in the cyberspace. She found that places like Facebook or twitter can affect the developing personality of young kids. These kids are more likely to suffer from bulling, to engage in a sexual relationship sooner and with an older person, be the victims of sexual assaults and be self-center. Without being aware of the power of social media, I started using social media since 1996; while I was going to college in the Dominican Republic. I used to go to the computer center during my free time and signed into a

We live in an era ruled by social media, primarily when it comes to teenagers, social media is used for everything. From communicating with family and friends to being used as a news outlet, and even advertisement for business and companies. This article is titled “Social Media: What's Not to Like,” written by Alison Pearce Stevens. The topic of this essay is the effect social media can have on teenagers. Social media, on one hand, can be used as a great way to share with the world and boost teens’ self-esteem. On the other hand, social media can be used as a place for bullying, body shaming and can cause depression or even suicide in teens.

In her book, It's Complicated, Danah Boyd expresses her views on modern-day social media and the modern-day teenager's reliability with it. The book is comprised of 8 enlightening categories: identity, privacy, addiction, danger, bullying, inequality, literacy, and searching for a public of their own. Throughout the book, Boyd provides data, true stories, and factual conversations to help support her main claim: social media has taken over our youth.

These three traits are known collectively as “The Dark Triad” (Mariani, 7). The article looks at three case studies and quotes psychologists for evidence of the ominous side of social media. The main evidence is a case study on two teenage boys who almost shot up a neighborhood for views on Periscope, an app that allows you to film what you are doing to an audience (Mariani, 3). A second piece of evidence focuses on a girl who snapchatted herself driving at over 100 mph before crashing into another car and severely injuring the passengers and herself. A third instance of horrendous behavior is when a girl filmed her friend being raped on Periscope instead of intervening because of the attention she was receiving. A psychologist, Keith Campbell, explains that social media promotes self-obsession (Mariani, 6). He argues that social media has made it possible for people with negative traits to get ahead in life. It does note, however, that many people who use social media are simply seeking connections and popularity for regular things. In conclusion, the article warns of the dangers of social media for those seeking fame and “social rewards” and also says further studies need to be done to better

In the article, “Violent Media Is Good for Kids”, the author, Gerard Jones, begins by providing background information about himself. As a child, Jones was taught that violence was wrong, and as he grew up, he learned that violent comics and stories aided him to become an action movies and comic book writer.

Teenagers encounter many obstacles before the end of their adolescent years. They experience hardships that include oppression, dealing with high expectations, and lack of motivation. In today’s modern world teens are facing these hardships and putting their problems online. The internet and social media are key factors to helping teens cope and express their worries to others. Teens of the modern world deal with their difficulties much differently than teens of decades before them. The older generation of teenagers were forced to confront their issues without the option of escaping online. The teens avoided their problems by physically escaping their oppressive situations and thus began their journey of understanding.

The development of social media (television shows, Facebook and video games) has increased tremendously in the 21st century, and its influence in daily lives has also affected young teenagers and their parents’ contemplation about violence. In the past, the function of social media was to discover hidden events and tell parents the right way to raise and educate their kids. However, in the 21st century, young teenagers can see violence on television shows, movies, YouTube, and Facebook as if fights, sexual conduct, injuries, drug use and deaths are for entertainment. In Maggie Nelson’s essay, “Great to Watch,” she argues the idea of “video and image flow” can lead to different understandings, distractions, and even problems, which explains the Broken Windows Theory introduced in “The Power of Context” written by Malcolm Gladwell that people engaging in certain kind of behavior (crime and violence) are evoked by a feature of the environment. Video and image flow via social media in the 21st century can induce crime. In the age of distraction, young teenagers are easily misled by things they see, hear, and contact with in their daily lives. Societal behaviors exposed via social media raise awareness of kid’s health and safety to parents in the 21st century; however, exposing societal behaviors not only protect kid’s safety by warning parents, but also cause violence to young teenagers that those protections become meaningless,

In the article titled Violence Media Is Good for Kids Jones stated that “When we try to protect our children from their own feelings and fantasies, we shelter them not against violence but against power and selfhood” (Jones 184). This quote embodies how many teenagers have felt throughout time. In addtion, violence has been surrounding us for many years however people seem to blame the influx of violence on media. Further,

In this scene, Polonius hire’s a man, Reynaldo, to follow his son, Laertes, and to deliver money and letters. Polonius wants Reynaldo to return with gossip of his son and wants Reynaldo to remind people he asks that he’s just a young man. In other words, Polonius is trying to save Laertes’ reputation while reassuring that his son is studying in Paris and doing what he said he was. After Reynaldo leaves, Ophelia walks in, confused and scared. Apparently, Hamlet wandered to Ophelia’s room, upset, tired, and hurt because Ophelia was staying away from him. Polonius soon realizes that Hamlet is deeply in love with his daughter and declares that he must warn the king. The significance of this chapter is to show readers that Hamlet is in love with

Imagine a world where the physically weak have a powerful weapon to fight against the strong. In this kind of world, that mean kid who beats you up, steals your lunch money, and copies your math homework has no power, whereas the weakling who gets his lunch money stolen has all of it. Through the aid of social media, individuals, teens in particular, who are usually quite docile have a chance to fight back at their oppressors, or they might, in the heat of the moment, begin to victimize someone else.
