Social Construction

The internet and all its useful tools have had a large impact on the world we live in today, let it be negative or positive, there is a impact that this has on everyone. Considering what society has grown into, social media and social networking is a very big thing that I have seen corporations use in order to let others know what they are working on or what they have accomplished. Not only can this be what people with internet have access to but also those who are upcoming in their career are able to reach out to companies and others in order to let themselves be known and show what they are able to do. The big difference that comes from this and those who are not able to access the internet is that those who have internet have the upper hand when it comes to competition in finding a job. So having access to the internet puts a barrier in equity. There is no equal opportunity because of this and in the article, "Digital Divide: If You're Reading This, You're One of the L

With social media growing so much in these past years there has been even more use of it even for ways to teach in schools. From my past experiences in high school, grades 9-12, there were assignments that were lead by social media in order to promote positive and educational posts for everyone to see. The way that the teachers checked if we really did the assignment was by having us pull out our device and pulling up the post that we were suppose to make. Now I am not sure how schools would use social media as they did when I used it. I see a lot of schools from back home that have made accounts on different social media platforms in order to keep students, parents and others up to date with important dates and what is relevant to the students and their families. This is a really great approach that some schools I know have taken and their support has given a lot of important information on people who want to make a difference in their community. Personally, I have seen many student

In my time using various different social media platforms for personal and school reasons, there has always been advertisements from big and small businesses that are trying to grow. Using social media platforms are a very good place for businesses to promote their products or whatever they are trying to advertise using social media. From my experience in social media, a lot of the big brands seem to get more and more promotion from platforms like Instagram since they are more popular and have a larger audience that will share the posts being made to promote deals or new products being released. Businesses have grown rapidly or almost none at all due to social media. Even if there are businesses that don't get as big as fast, every business that is being promoted is getting some sort of recognition by people who view it and share it. Any type of recognition is a good for businesses because that means that people are noticing them and not ignoring the type of promotion that is bei

It is no question that the president of the United States that has been recently elected has been highly active in social media sites such as twitter. His constant use of twitter to call out others and cause tension over the states has been something that would be better kept to himself.  I personally do not follow Donald Trump on twitter but from seeing repost on other platforms of social media has made me nervous for those who he has been targeting because it is not fair what he is doing to people that want to make it in a place where everyone is "equal". Social media has made it easier to know what has been going on in politics and the terribly stuff that politics have been causing to those who are minorities in the U.S. Even though it is important to keep up with politics and the different changes that are trying to be made in order to attack those who are just trying to have a better life in a place where there is opportunity. There has been a lot of ways that social m
