The Internet, And The Abundant Social Media Platforms

This disputes the notion that everybody who engages in social media receive a uniform message, and these diverse viewpoints also enables users to become judicious in what content they are consuming. In the same American Press Institute study researchers concluded, “nearly three-quarters of those exposed to different views (73 percent) report they investigate others’ opinions at least some of the time

First of all, people like to use social media to connect with people and share their own information. Twitter users occasionally tweet only about one particular interest, one side of themselves, or just crack jokes. Another example of that social media is very familiar for everyone is Twitter. In Twitter, campaigners, politicians, and celebrities maintain a constant presence in the online lives of their followers. Followers can share their opinions and thoughts with politician, and talk with their favorite celebrities through Twitter comment. In the case of well-known people, they have the urge to unconsciously tweet and disclose truths which are preferred to be hidden. In the article, “The Twitter hypocrisy of Kenneth Roth: using ‘human rights’ as a weapon against Israel,” Kenneth Roth, who is the executive director of Human Rights Watch, tweets that Israel allegedly has committed many war crimes in the war between Israel and Hamas, but what he fails to mention is that the soldiers of Hamas place their terrorist weapons in populated civilian areas intentionally, and they have more than ample warning from the Israeli forces before a strike (Foreman). Another example of very familiar social media for everyone is Facebook. Now, Facebook is not only posted about positive sides of Facebook users but also about their negative sides. For example, according to New York Times, Ms. Aran Hissam wrote about her daughter on Facebook. She posted her happy news that she was a pregnant on

As digital media improved and became increasingly available to ordinary people, various forms of social media became incorporated into everyday communications. Digital texting has become one of the most common preferred social media because they permit multitasking more than traditional telephone calls, notwithstanding the convenience of modern cell phones. For better and worse, texting is now routinely used among and between coworkers, because it provides real-time, 'round the clock availability. It is used extensively for social planning and coordination and a higher level of privacy control for confidential topics than is possible in any verbal telephonic communication in public (Adams, 2011).

When I was younger, I learned to fit in wherever I went. My family was disjointed for about four years until I finally got settled in high school. My parents divorced and I was pulled out of my first elementary school and sent to one closer to home after fourth grade. This was about the time that my bullying started. It crushed me to be different from the rest of the children whose parents were still together. Other students didn’t understand anything that went on and they made fun of me for it. Moving around a lot gave me the experience necessary to combat the harsh comments of others.

Social media has become a pillar in our modern day society and its strengths outweigh its weaknesses if users are wise enough to navigate it for themselves. The source is wrong because social media is keeping people connected to one another and to the world around them. When we engage in social media and we are instantly connected with the greater world.

More than ever before, the explosion of social media has been dramatic and swift, fundamentally altering how individuals share personal experiences, search for information, form opinions and make decisions of daily living. The inexhaustibility, open and democratising disposition of social media has both great advantages and potential equally damaging risks, both individual and organizational. This essay considers the use of social media within the nursing profession; tertiary nursing practice and the impacts, potential pitfalls and educational advances that are encounted as a result of combing nursing and social media as well social medias impacts on student nurses on clinical placement. As we adjust and often benefit for the non static nature of social media, many nurses and nursing students have embraced social media, actively utilising its potential to enhance practice, education and influence health knowledge on a global platform.

The internet has proven itself to be a strong and convenient tool for people all around the world to stay connected and have immediate access to vital information right from their computers or smartphones. With the advent of social media sites such as Facebook, which now boasts over a billion monthly active users, more people than ever are using these platforms to keep in touch with world events and breaking news. However, this quick and streamlined access to information has created an expectation in the general public for news and media to be as concise as possible. This newfound expectation for instant, to-the-point news has opened the doors for any source on the web to fabricate brief, sensationalist articles, and in the process lost the nuance and reliability once held by the longer works of well established news publications. Making matters worse, the current framework of these social media sites is designed to favor the viral and controversial, as it draws in more users and keeps them online longer. The internet and social media have changed the way people read their news, so modern media is adapting to be full of polarizing, simple and often outrageous answers to keep these readers engaged, leaving little room to meet in the middle and thus furthering the divide between people of opposing viewpoints in our country.

In the issue of social media networking utilized by educators to communicate with parents and the community, what protective measures must be enforced or what regulations apply when harassment towards the teachers is apparent? Children and teens of today will never know the world obsolete of social media. The impact of social media is becoming larger each and every day. Not only are children and young adults intrigued, but a large number of the world’s population. As of the third quarter of 2016, Facebook had 1.79 billion monthly active users. In the third quarter of 2012, the number of active Facebook users had surpassed 1 billion (Silverman, 2016). With that being said, Facebook is the largest social media platform during this time and age. Bullying is growing in social network sites from parents to teachers by making statements that undermind them and the pupils as well. In 2009, research by the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) and the Teacher Support Network suggested 15% of teachers had experienced cyberbullying, and it is believed this figure is growing (Eade, 2011).

Lachapelle (2011) explains, “The use of social media and social networking has become a significant force in political organizing, social interaction, and economic development. A growing body of literature now describes the use of social media as a tool in areas such as political action, democracy promotion, business marketing, and public relations management. The use of social media specifically in the field of community and economic development has also recently begun to receive scholarly attention. There is strong evidence to suggest that social networks can improve socioeconomic well-being of communities. For example, Eagle, Macy, & Claxton (2010) found the structure of social networks and related diversity of individuals‟ relationships is strongly correlated with the economic development of communities” (Para, 1, 2, & 3). This essay will discuss possible solutions that could help communities provide greater access to broadband internet, why citizens need internet access, and how it would enhance community development, Also, what government services could be transmitted to citizens through the Internet, and last, how social networking sites are an effective mechanism for communities to link citizens and encourage community development.

While it is true Facebook allows us to see and comment on the happenings of an acquaintance’s life, we really do not maintain a deep relationship with that person. Facebook and other social networks give us the ability to interact and keep up to date on the daily lives of our close friends and acquaintances. Fisher comments on this phenomenon: “Today, our number of weak-tie acquaintances has exploded via online social networking. ‘You couldn 't maintain all of those weak ties on your own,’ says Jennifer Golbeck at the University of Maryland in College Park, who studies our use of social media. ‘Facebook gives you a way of cataloguing.’” This asserts that because of the development of social networks we can easily maintain a variety of contacts with whom we are not deeply connected or dependent upon for emotional support. Seeing a status update about their lives, or commenting on the Youtube video they share, does not automatically make people close friends, even on the Internet. Just like relationships in real life, Internet relationships require one-on-one interaction, usually in the form of personal messages between users. However, the Internet allows people to carry on multiple one-on-one conversations at a time, something impossible in real life, and further divides one‘s attention. In “Are Social Networks Messing With Your Head?,” David Disalvo speaks of the difficulties of balancing the online world with the real world and the dangers of letting interactions that

The internet and social media instantly connects individuals anywhere in the world with each other. This instant connection can be beneficial to nurses in the workplace. It enables quicker communication between staff and is an unlimited resource of information for nurses and patients. The downside is that nurses have to be careful of what they put online. Social media can be a great tool to improve patient care when used appropriately.

We talked briefly about the person I had became and that she had seen both of my children be born. I asked her if I would ever see her again and she told me she always heard me talk to her. We embraced as I started to cry and I told her I never wanted to wake up and be with-out her. At that moment I was startled back to reality by a noise in the house. I woke up with real tears already flowing down my face. It was a rush of emotions. But a calmness came over me and I realized that all things are connected in time and space at a cellular level and that we can influence things around us by what we put out all the way down to an energetic level. I knew that I wanted to commit myself to not only raising well mannered, respectful young citizens which I had already done for the first six years of motherhood but I wanted to also shelter them from all the extra stuff society was pushing on kids younger and younger such as social networking and the over-sexualization of our youth. I could almost hear my many times Great Grandfather Reverend Romanus Teller telling me that there was an issue with mainstream entertainment today. And I just wanted to make my Great Grandmother proud. Over the next few weeks I decided that my improvements would be to shelter my children from modern things that could perverse their minds to mature at a faster rate for one. And secondly to keep them free of unnecessary chemicals. I thought of all my ancestors I had researched, and how they had to do things

Social Networking, a pinnacle of what keeps the world entertained as we know today. The economy is rapidly changing in the developing world. Now our days we see teens spending an excessive amount of time socializing through social medias such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and much more. The media has a direct influence on the formation of basic skills of human interaction, which some experts can argue that social medias are having a significant part in our growing society. Society reminds me of a child in development, social networking stunts society’s growth on an ongoing change in the community of today.

Although social media looks like a new trend, but sites for example Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat are just the developed versions. The history of social media is far deeper than we can imagine. The two most important discoveries happened was in the last decade, the 1800s, telephone and radio. These two discoveries are still extensively used, with this technology changed rapidly and along with this the Internet in the 1970s which led to improving in the networking and so on the social media started getting more attractive and sophisticated over time.

Whether a healthcare organization is supports unions or is against them, it should have a policy on unionism, and this policy should be communicated to its employees. Fried and Fottler (2015) explain that a positive labor-management relationship begins with this policy. A unionization policy will often include policies concerning wages, benefits, hours and conditions of employment, which Gamble (2011) says are the most common reasons for unionization. With clear policies and procedures regarding unionization, an employee can find the information they need regarding the most common reasons for unionization and proceed through the correct channels for change. A policy also shows that management understands that each employee is important and deserves respect and that time and thought goes into employee relations (Fried and Fottler, 2015). An employee can also see and understand the implications of unionization with a clearly outlined unionization policy (Gamble, 2011).
