THESIS...

Summary

I remain strong believing in my thesis even after reading all of the comments.

Social media is a catalyst in unhealthy relationships, and is often used as a replacement for face-to-face interactions.

Learnings:

  • social media is good for long distance communication, but also has been the cause of thousands of problems across the nation
  • hard to interpret, leads to miscommunication and false assumptions
  • people who are comfortable on social media often are uncomfortable in person
  • overall it causes unnecessary tension in many relationships

My Experiment: Twitter

With Twitter I was able to accomplish:

  • expressing my thesis
  • creating a poll that people could respond to
  • tweeting my support, but not the specific sources
  • adding funny gifs to make it twitter user friendly

My finding: I had a lot more favorites on twitter than I did actual typed replies. I had a good amount respond to the actual poll I posted which I thought helped to collect good opinions. The downfall was I had to make everything informal. It sounded weird to post actual stats, so I had to change the way I approached the posts on twitter.

Introduction:

Social Media...

After many discussions in class, followed up with research on various incidents and statistics, I've finally formulated an opinion on social media. Although social media has countless benefits, there are so many pitfalls that have led me to the thesis...

Facebook:

I noticed that on Facebook, it's more acceptable to post longer posts, therefore, I was able to post my actual sources that proved my opinions.

Twitter:

Summary of Facebook: Almost all of the comments agreed with my thesis and then provided more opinions of their own about how the generation relies on the technology.

Instagram

On Instagram, it felt extremely weird posting writing because people are so used to seeing pictures that it felt like breaking the norm...

Sources/support

https://twitter.com/kylie_englproj

-cyber bullying and offensive/vulgar posts and tweets

-tweets that are interpreted incorrectly and therefore cause twitter fights...

-online relationships that are based purely on social media interactions, but become uncomfortable in person

-false relationships, Catfish (the MTV show)

-online predators that rely on location services, instagram post, facebook geo-tags, and other social media ways of finding locations.

-self-worth decaying

Many people seemed to be more inclined to respond on Instagram... I'm not sure why. Most of the comments that were on the thesis agreed with my own opinion. None of them refuted the thesis.
