The document discusses computer-mediated communication (CMC) and how it influences identity presentation and social relationships. It defines key CMC concepts like how people curate their online personas but these don't always reflect reality. It also discusses how CMC allows for identity exploration in online communities and how influence spreads through social networks from opinion leaders. Virtual communities are examined as places where people with shared interests can connect through the internet.
Social Network Theory is the study of how people, organizations or groups interact with others inside their network understanding the easier when you examine the individual pieces starting with the largest element, when is networks, and working down to the smallest elements, which is the actors. The idea of social network and the notions of sociograms appeared over 50years ago Barnes (1954) is credited with coining the notion of social network, an outflow of his study of a Norwegian island parish in the early 1950s
Our social lives lend themselves to efficient collection of information, shares and broadcast irrelevances. A modernity driven by a real time marinade of electronic information.
I suggest that we live in anticipation of the arrival of information. Work and social divergences have become accelerated, which has created nostalgia for previous unhurried social situations... In short a new social sensibility.

The Role of the Productive Consumer for Global Digital EnterpriseDr Mariann Hardey
From an informed academic stand point, I consider the consequences of the influence of social media for connections and the totality of the consumer sphere for making purchasing decisions etc. In short, how we live, why we seek to make purchases and the ways in which we do it.
The social media world is not flat. There are new lands beyond the continent of Facebook. The New world has riches, romance, opportunities, fame, and some say the secrets to eternal youth. Buy also beware! There are rumors of Medussas whose siren song will lure you in to her lair so that you will crash upon the rocks, serpents called worms that will entangle your ship and control your course, viruses that will make you and your crew sea sick, trojan ships that will approach you with free goods that hold spies that will live among you, pirate ships that will steal your goods and ask you to join in their skullduggery by trading in illegal goods, and Cyclops who will train their evil eye on you to suck out your soul and rob your privacy.
But as entrepid explorers you must put aside your fears and push out into the unknown. Forewarned is forearmed! Seek your destiny!

WHAT’S TRENDING AND HOW? PERSPECTIVES ON SOCIAL AND SPIRITUAL IMPLICATIONS OF...IAEME Publication
From ancient cave paintings ,Asoka’s Pillar Inscriptions to Cicero’s web of ancient Rome and
now to Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook the basic theme of mass communication has remained pretty
much the same , what’s changed however is the speed, the way and hence the impact. This brings
us to a paradox, its simpler because somewhere it’s all complex. So it’s increasingly becoming
difficult to distinguish between news from propaganda, subtle manipulation from brainwashing,
and information from advertising, ideologies from hate crimes.
So, who decides what’s trending and how that impacts life and perspectives about human life?
What’s real and what’s not??
And Why That Matters?!!

The exponential growth of social media and the ubiquitous use of mobile technology has changed the way we communicate both socially and for many also professionally. Digital spaces have to some extent removed barriers enabling social learning that is no longer constrained geographically (spacial boundaries) or by time-zone differences (temporal boundaries).
It is therefore timely to consider our digital capabilities and how these can be used to communicate and collaborate; and through interconnectedness provide opportunities for lifelong and lifewide learning that extend beyond the formal learning we are all familiar with.
This talk will consider why a professional online presence is so important; the value of using social media to develop global personal learning networks; and how through open sharing with our interconnected networks it is possible to develop our scholarly practice.
Social media tools such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter became part of people’s everyday life. Used well, they can add to your learning experience, and make you a better shepherd of your flock in the future. But used poorly, they can cause lasting damage to you and others.
How Social Media Affects Our Self-PerceptionBy Kelsey Sunstrum.docxadampcarr67227
How Social Media Affects Our Self-Perception
By Kelsey Sunstrum
Not long ago, a friend of mine deleted her Instagram account. I couldn’t understand why one would ever do such a thing, so I asked and her response caught me off-guard.
She deleted her Instagram because she felt herself becoming depressed by it. The pressure of taking the right picture, with the right filter, wearing the right outfit, at the right place, with the right people was too much pressure.
We are conditioned to project only our best, albeit unrealistic, selves on our social media profiles as a modern way of virtually keeping up with the Joneses.
Regardless of whether you realize it, you’re spending a great deal of time and effort on the creation of your digital identity. The molding of this alternate self depends heavily on how others are projecting themselves in these arenas as well. What happens to your ‘real’ self, then?
Enter ‘smiling depression.’
Smiling depression is a term used to describe people who are depressed but do not appear so. In America today, 6.7 percent of the population over the age of 18 suffers from major depression, and it is the leading cause of disability in the 15-44 age range.
If you were to meet me for the first time, you would be very surprised to learn I have major depression. It is second nature to me to put on a mask of a happy person. Not only do I talk with people, I’m often the loudest person at a gathering and can always find something to joke or laugh about. This is smiling depression.
Social media puts an interesting lens on the creation of the self, and how this construction affects our mental well-being. The ideal self is the self we aspire to be. My ideal self would be a 25-year-old successful freelance writer who lives in a perpetually clean house and who always takes the time to put on makeup before she leaves the house.
One’s self-image is the person we actually are based on the actions, behaviors, and habits currently possessed. My self-image would be of a 25-year-old freelance writer just starting her business in a house that’s mostly clean most of the time and who forces herself not to wear pajamas everywhere.
According to Carl Rogers’s theory of personality, every human has the basic instinct to improve herself and realize her full potential. Like Abraham Maslow, he called this achievement self-actualization. He believed this state was attained when the ideal self and the person’s self-image were in line with each other. This person would be deemed a fully functioning person.
Each of us carries what Robert Firestone termed the critical inner voice. It is a dynamic that exists within every individual that offers a negative filter through which to view our life. It is theorized that the voice is created at an early age during times of stress or trauma.
Social media is not only extremely pervasive, it is an activity in which you are expected to participate. Not all social media is Facebook and Instagram. Think LinkedIn, the.
In this session, we talk about the mobile and social web, and how it shapes economy, individual behavior and well-being, political events, and society as a whole.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

1. Chapter 2:
CMC Diffusion and Social Theories
Anne Caelle Jean, Margaux Morio, Arianne Andrew,
Robert Siwiec
2. Identity
● We all have an online presence reflected by what we choose to share
about others and ourselves .
● Self-Presentation is not oftentimes times accurate , portrays a virtual
persona.
● Catfishing!!!
● Uses and Gratifications : to avoid loneliness and develop new habits.
● Sense of identity for underrepresented groups,online communities.
● The beginning of memes.
3. Terms
CMC
● Computer Mediated
Communication: a way to
describe the digital nature of
mediated online communication.
Looks at identity formation,
presentation, distribution etc…
● Gather information about the
world around us, relaxation,
entertainment ,stress relief etc...
2 HCI
● Human Computer Interaction:
interpersonal interactivity and
informational interactivity.
● Defines online social dynamics
and group communication.
● Looks at Message interests and
involvement
3
4. Activity1. Take out your phones.
2. Exchange social media pages with your neighbor.
3. Name three things you have gathered about each other through your
profile/feed!
8. Vlogs (Video Log)
Video bloggers use video posts instead of text. Vlogs are regular
commentary in a video medium.
● An example, the “vlog brothers,” that was created by John and Hank Green. It
started as a way to talk to each other and grew to over one million YouTube
subscribers.
● They described their vlog as “nothing in particular besides the brothers sharing
humorous exchanges with each other.” Their videos can now reach up to
hundreds of thousands of viewers.
● https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4-CH0epzZpD_ARhxCx6LaQ
9. Internet Protocol (IP)
An address number attached to a users computer or location.
● Addresses guarantee that the original source of a message can be tracked and
traced by government entities and others.
11. Tagging/Geotagging
On Facebook, a person can be tagged in a photograph. A name is
associated with a face and perhaps a place, and these data can be shared across the
social network.
● Geotagging is a use of a software code that identifies location.
● A smartphone photograph may be geotagged with the location, and this data
can be presented or used within the context of an application.
12. Virtual Communities:
Influence may spread from the center of a social network. A community
where people share common interests, ideas, and feelings through the internet.
CMC Pioneer Howard Rheingold believed that virtual communities created social
groups and relationships over time.
Example: youtubers, and bloggers.
13. 4 principles of virtual communities:
- Clear purpose/vision.
- Clear member role definition
- Moderator leadership
- online/offline events: events play an important role in strengthening member
identification within a social network.
14. Quote:
- “Influence of opinion leaders may be understood through similar interests and
social stratification of leaders and their followers. At the same time, however,
the shift from interpersonal to mediated communication is likely to reduce
feedback as people orient within a social network.” (Westley and Maclean,
1957.Page 45, Social Media Communication, Lipschultz.)
15. Quote:
“It is often assumed that computers “break down
boundaries” or “break down hierarchies” in cyberspace:
“And yet computers can just as easily create boundaries and
hierarchies” (page 52, Social Media Communication,
Lipschultz)
17. Media Communication:
A theoretical perspective that moves away from mass
communication and large audiences toward fragmentation.
-So basically a perspective that breaks down mass communication and large
audiences.
-One to many
-One to one
-Many to many
18. Electronic Frontier Foundation:
-An organization since the 1990s that fought government regulation and
intrusion. The organization promotes free and open internet.
Eg: The National Security Agency’s collection of online and security data.
20. How has CMC influenced the way we form relationships?
How may it blur the lines between reality and fantasy?
➔ Relationships are formed solely based on what's portrayed through their feed.
➔ False expectations and Ideals.
➔ We all put our best selves on display for social media, what we portray may not
be our true selves.
➔ Taking these things at face value blurs the lines between reality and fantasy.
➔ By creating these false ideals for ourselves we become cautious of our own
sincerity and weary of others intentions.
➔ Misunderstandings will arise when these false ideals break.
21. 2. How would a visualization of your social networks depict
communication patterns and relationships? How could this be used to
influence future online behavior?
- The visualization of my social networks depict the life of a 21 year old college
student, who enjoys going out with friends every now and then. It shows, the
“fun” things in my life, but disregards all the stress behind it all.
- One’s social media doesn’t define every single aspect of their life. It could
appear that one only ever is with their friends, just because of what is posted
online. But in reality, not everyone chooses to post every single thing that
occurs in their life.
- There can be a boundary between reality and social media.
- Overall shows friends, family, where I’ve travelled.
- It could be used to influence future online behavior through posting similar
things.
22. 3. Describe your favorite Internet meme. Why do you like it? How does
it transfer cultural understandings from one person to another?
In this meme...I appreciate this meme because it truly reminds me of the looks I
would get from my mom when I knew I was in trouble. The look was stern and my
sister and I knew we needed to stop doing what we were doing.
● The transfer of information is that parents, particularly moms
are known for giving a ‘look’ whenever their child is mis-
behaving. From home to home this may vary slightly but
the idea is the same.
