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.

How many Americans use facebook, Instagram and twitter? According to Pew Research Center of Internet, Science and Tech, approximately 74% of Americans either use facebook, Instagram or twitter every day. (Pews research, 2015) Social media has become the new way of networking and communicating versus living in the 1800’s and using telegraph mores codes. 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 United States of America can be seen as one of the most countries to be tech savvy. Specifically, with social media, which is used as a medium to communicate movements such Black Lives Matter due to the usage of unnecessary force from police used on Black Americans, has made an impact in Iran. Similarly, to the US movement, accusations of fraud during the June 2009 Iranian presidential elections caused protests and many citizens asking for a recount.

Some would say social media did not have a role in the protests held in Iran. My

The United States, and along with the rest of the world, it is experiencing a new technological revolution. In the late 1800s/ the early 1900s, the US culture, society, and notably economy, were profoundly transformed by the Industrial Revolution. The new innovations were steadily churned out by brilliant and intrepid inventors, and as a result products were churned out at unprecedented rates. Today, we see the US in a new technological revolution. It can be called the Digital Revolution, or Information Revolution, but it mainly refers to the astounding pace of increase in computing power, and its various implications in our lives, from e-assistants to social media to driver-less cars.

The use of social media in the United States has dramatically expanded over the recent years thanks to many technological advances from a multitude of intelligent men and women. While you may or may not be utilizing this technological boom, millions of Americans across the country have turned to social media as an imperative aspect of their lives for communication in relationships.

Over the past five weeks, I’ve been following, tracking and studying five stocks in-particular and seeing how they have progressed over these past couple of weeks in the stock market.

Social capital refers to the resources inherent in social relationships; it is considered the foundation of economic, political, and social development. To explore the media’s impact on social capital, we analyze the impact of media consumption at the individual level and the effects of media system structures at the national level. The results indicate that Internet use and informational media use increase social capital. Moreover, societies seem to benefit from open and free media systems as they support the production of social capital. In sum, we argue for a dissociation from a culturally pessimistic, one-sided point of view when discussing media effects. In today’s societies, media imply potential rather than restrictions.
