Social media also known as electronic media has become ubiquitous for teenagers and has been exponentially increasing. Communication which once was in person or by telephone now can be done online without physical contact or connection. Adolescents spend countless hours of their lives attached to devices with the intent of communicating with others, sharing their daily lives, and acquiring new information, but neglect the other aspects of their lives by spending more time on social communication and social networking sites. The use of electronic media has made teenagers lack the desire getting outside their rooms, eating lunch beside the computer and repeating the schedule often can seriously lead on sedentary life. This sedentary life can affect mind and body. Adolescents who get stuck at sedentary life tend to eat more junky foods. The mind of teenagers escapes curiosities of forcing the body to take more quick calories which usually can be found in fast foods that are not healthy and become worst when the subject lack on movement and exercises. For example, children who spend many hours in the computer felt hungry and usually end up on ordering fast foods or pizzas. Their lifestyle can affect the desire of join in activities with others. Although, sedentary life has its own stages and usually tend to aggravate. Sometime adolescent who face this issue feels frustration among friend due to their inactivity and tend to close more on this sedentary life where they find
Traditional media has failed to live up to its fourth estate role. This has lead us to the question, can the more modern, social media, make up for the lack of success that traditional media has had in fulfilling this watchdog role for the people? Kemp’s rules of CIDRA1 apply to social media as they do with traditional media. Thus, we must determine what, if any, obstacles are present in preventing social media from completing this role. More specifically, do the five filters that Chomsky highlights apply to social media as they do to traditional media? Or does the fundamental structure of social media allow for it to accomplish a fifth estate role? I argue that social media is more effective at playing a watchdog role than traditional media. Social media is built on a platform that has the interest of working for the people in terms of freedom of distributing ideas and checking elite power in liberal democracies. Furthermore, “…traditional media formats are no longer the only politically relevant forms of media” (Metzgar, Maruggi, 2009, p. 149). The reason that social media can have higher success in acting as a watchdog role stems from one central theme: when it comes to social media, less of Chomsky’s filters lie between the person wanting to distribute an idea and the ability to have this idea delivered to the public.
Once upon a time Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media sites did not exist. How did people say what they think or comment about the current event? We used to talk to each other, argued over a topic, held a debate in a classroom, and said whatever we thought about our friends, neighbors without touching the personal boundaries when they were at present. Our options were limited for what we are doing today, and we could not write, post or say whatever we think on a popular and current events or topics right away like we do today. Here we are in a decade built on technology and social media sites. Social media became a daily part of our lives, and sometimes some people cannot start their day without checking their Facebook or Twitter accounts, or they feel the necessity of commenting what they think on popular things or posting a video over a celebrity break-up even.
Health experts are concerned that the vast amount of time teenagers spend on the internet is sedentary, which is associated with obesity, high blood pressure, and other indicators of poor health.
Social media and technology can also affect the physical attributes of kids and teenagers nowadays. “About 59 percent of parents say their children’s digital media use prevents them from getting physical exercise,” according to Mixed Perceptions About Kids Using Digital Media. Kids and teenagers have become addicted to their electronic devices/ TVs because they prefer to play video games, text, keep up with what others are doing or posting online, and
Social media seems to be one of the many hot topics of discussion recently, and consequently many people have the false sense of security that they have a profound knowledge on how it affects the health of the teenage population. A sedentary lifestyle, decreased sleep, as well as other physical health conditions seem to come to mind when one links health and social media. However, there is a much bigger problem that can go unnoticed because it can be impossible to see: the impact it has on mental and emotional health. These branches of health are just as important, and even arguably more important than physical health is. Social media can be utilized to connect with distant friends and express oneself; however, teenagers should refrain from the overuse of social media due to its detrimental effects on their mental and emotional health.
In society today, social media has taken over as one of the primary ways to reach a number of people at an affordable price.

The use of technology in todays society is taking place now more than ever. Technology has become one of the largest issues of debate, while being one of the biggest necessities to some people lives.

These things are some of what can cause issues in the everyday household. According to Pew Research Center’s Aaron Smith, roughly about 77 percent of American citizens own a smartphone, and about have of the nation owns a tablet.

“Social media is a group of internet-based applications, built on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, allowing the creation and exchange of user-generated content” (Terry, 2009). It includes a various range of services and forms. Social media networks are playing important roles in many fields. Generally, social media and the relevant social networks can be classified into 6 specific groups: social communicating media (e.g. Facebook), collaborative media (e.g. Wikipedia), content communities (e.g. YouTube), blogs (e.g. Twitter), virtual social worlds (e.g. Second Life) and virtual game worlds (e.g. World of Warcraft) (Kaplan and Haenlein, 2010). The use of social media networks has been developed
A limitation of this project stems from the limited study on this subject. The internet is a relatively new mission field and the internet presents unique challenges with limited case studies to evaluate. As a result, this evangelistic tool is confronted with much reluctance and concern. First, some argue that evangelism should be a face to face encounter and not from the internet. Inviting folks into this new dimension of ministry is very challenging. Additionally, because the Silent Generation and Baby Boomers are less likely to be active on social media, they are harder to convince that social media ministry is a good for the church. “One of the issues surrounding social media is the digital divide because of the lack of knowledge about computers and the lack of access to computers as well as high speed broadband (wifi).” This limits who you can reach with social media and actually creates a digital schism with economic and social barriers. She says, “…the gap between the technological have and have nots becomes deep a deep divide when high-speed broadband is unavailable and inaccessible because of cost.”
Social media and other technological devices differ with the ways of usage from one individual to the next. The focus group interviews held at the University of California, Irvine asked a multitude of questions pertaining to one’s use of technology during stressful and lonely times. They were also asked what their background was and if they were extroverts or introverts. These group interviews were aimed to discover what the differences are between college students’ social media usage and how it affects their connections to the campus community. While conducting these interviews a few themes emerged from these focus groups: differences in social media uses, real in-person connections, stepping back from social media during stressful times, and finally the different types of people and social media. The five focus group interviews showed trends of college students technology use and how they relate in stressful times.
Technological advancements in modern communication were crucial factors in rendering ubiquitous access to internet and social media to be a reality. The prevalence of internet and social media in everyday lives has transformed interpersonal contacts to be as effective and convenient as they have ever been in the history of human civilization. Unfortunately, the advantages of technological advancements in modern communication were also accompanied by significant cost to contemporary society. Namely, the gradual emergence of cyber violence, particularly incidents of cyber bullying received increasing amount of attention from not only the popular culture but also from the realm of academia.
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).
