The document summarizes research from two studies about online communication and identity formation among teenagers and college students. The first study examines the blogs and websites of three teenagers from different ethnic backgrounds. It finds that these online platforms allow them to express multiple identities beyond national boundaries. The second study uses surveys and interviews to understand how college students use Facebook and how it relates to their racial, ethnic, and gender identities. Key themes that emerged include self-presentation, performance of identity, social connections, and differences in use and perspectives between genders and races.

Social networking & high school seniors
This document summarizes findings from focus groups with high school seniors about their use of social networking technologies. Key findings include:
1. Teens keep their online identities separate for school/professional versus personal use, using email for the former and technologies like Facebook for the latter.
2. They consider texting to be the primary means of close communication between real friends while Facebook is for more casual acquaintances.
3. Teens multitask heavily across technologies for both schoolwork and leisure, though acknowledge it reduces quality.
4. Social media plays a large role in teens' social lives and preparations for college, though overuse can reduce personal interaction and privacy is a concern.
5.
Final Research Report
This study examined dating experiences of online dating users and non-users among college students. The author conducted in-depth interviews with 5 online dating users and 5 non-users at Reinhardt University. The interviews were recorded and themes from the responses were analyzed. Using interviews allowed the author to directly compare experiences of those who do and do not use online dating, but interviews were time-consuming for both the interviewer and interviewees. Overall, the study aimed to expand understanding of individual experiences with online dating.
Relationships between facebook intensity self esteem and personality
1) The study examined relationships between Facebook use, friendship-contingent self-esteem, personality, and narcissism in 200 U.S. college students.
2) It found that students who strongly tied their self-esteem to the quality of their friendships were more active Facebook users, supporting the hypothesis.
3) No significant relationships were found between Facebook use and personality or narcissism. The results suggest Facebook allows students to maintain social connections that are important for friendship-contingent self-esteem.
Social network
This document summarizes research on students' use of social networking sites (SNS). It conducted an online survey of undergraduate students to examine how they use SNS for academic and non-academic purposes. Key findings include that students were less able to articulate the academic value of SNS than their social value, and that self-presentation or image building was not a main concern. The majority of respondents preferred Facebook over MySpace and logged into their preferred SNS multiple times a day.
Myspace At My School
The document discusses the popularity and risks of online social networks like MySpace among middle school students. It notes that MySpace has over 67 million members and is growing rapidly in popularity among teens as a private online space. However, it also presents potential risks like unsafe disclosure of personal information, addiction, risky behavior, cyberbullying, and interaction with dangerous individuals. The document provides a hypothetical example of a fake MySpace profile created by a sex offender to target teens, illustrating the need for educators to make students aware of online safety issues.
Social media presentation
Teenagers have become highly connected through social media and mobile phones. This has led to a shift where teens now socialize online rather than in person. While social media allows for constant connection and friendship maintenance across distances, it can also hinder identity development if too much is shared. It has also given rise to issues like cyberbullying. However, social media overall helps teens develop friendships and find communities of interest.

Week 5 Presentation
This document summarizes research on the effects of Facebook usage on children and teenagers. It finds that excessive Facebook use can negatively impact young users' mental health and brain development. Issues like cyberbullying, contact with online predators, and spending too much unsupervised time on computers are discussed. The role of parents in monitoring their children's social media activity is emphasized, as young Facebook users may experience manipulation, deception, and exposure to inappropriate content without proper supervision.
Yen facebook mms112
Facebook is a social networking site launched in 2004 with over 1 billion active users. Users create personal profiles, add friends, and share messages and updates. Additionally, users can join groups and categorize friends. Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg and others at Harvard. Initially for Harvard students, it expanded to other schools and is now open to anyone over 13. Facebook allows socialization, sharing of life updates, advertising, advocacy sharing, and gaming.

The document discusses several issues related to privacy and oversharing on social networks like Facebook:
1) Facebook has faced many privacy and data sharing scandals over the years as it has grown rapidly in users and in the amount of personal information collected.
2) The document outlines Facebook's history from its founding in 2004 to reaching over 500 million users currently.
3) Reasons why people may overshare personal information on social media are discussed, such as to more easily connect with others, for shopping convenience, or due to attitudes among younger generations.
School bullying statistics in the united states, Javier Armendariz Cortez
The document discusses school bullying statistics in the United States. It reports that about 1 in 4 kids are bullied regularly, 30% of students are involved in bullying as either victims or bullies, and verbal bullying is the most common type affecting 77% of students. Cyberbullying is also increasing, with 80% of high school students experiencing it online. The statistics illustrate bullying is a major problem. However, schools are now taking more active measures like antibullying programs and policies to help address the issue.
Chapter 3 intimacy presentation
This chapter discusses how youth use new media technologies like mobile phones, instant messaging, and social media in their dating practices and intimacy. It explores how these technologies have changed courtship rituals, allowing youth to get to know each other online before meeting in person, but also how they make breaking up more difficult by leaving digital remnants of past relationships. While new media provides benefits of privacy and easier communication, it can also make youth more vulnerable if too much personal information is shared publicly online.
Book Critique of Girl Wide Web
The document summarizes the key findings from the book "Girl Wide Web: Girls, the Internet, and the Negotiation of Identity". The book examines how teenage girls use the internet to explore and develop their identities. It finds that some websites provide safe spaces for girls to discuss issues like sexuality. However, the studies mostly focused on white, middle-class girls and made assumptions without verifying the gender of online users. The book also analyzes how girls engage in online fandom and use instant messaging to experiment with different identities and socialization.

One in ten Americans have used online dating sites or apps. Of online daters, 66% have gone on dates with people they met online and 23% have entered long-term relationships or marriages. While online dating was once seen negatively, attitudes have become more positive in recent years. Now 42% know someone who uses online dating and 29% know someone in a relationship from online dating. Social media also plays a role, as many check up on exes or post about dates online.

Children have ample opportunities to use electronic communication devices, leaving them vulnerable to cyberbullying. A Canadian study found that by age 11, children text for 80 minutes daily and 58% use social media, despite age restrictions. With increased technology use, bullying has moved online. Cyberbullying involves threatening or harassing messages, photos, and hate sites. Victims experience depression, anxiety, and in some cases suicide. Various organizations and initiatives aim to educate youth and combat cyberbullying through legislation, awareness campaigns, and encouraging positivity online.

Nicole Ellison ICWSM 2010 "Researching Interaction in Social Media"
Nicole Ellison talk at ICWSM - Researching interaction in social media: Examining online and offline communication processes in online dating & social network sites
Intercultural communication final paper
This study examined university students' usage of and attitudes toward privacy on Facebook in four countries: Czech Republic, Germany, Taiwan, and USA. Key findings include:
- Americans had the most Facebook friends on average and were most likely to have grandparents on Facebook. Taiwanese students reported using Facebook daily at a rate of 100%.
- Germans prioritized privacy most, while Taiwanese students shared more photos publicly and expressed high self-confidence online.
- Czech responses were similar to Germans on privacy but closer to Americans in using real names and clear profile photos.
Facebook Privacy
This document appears to be a research paper on the impact of Facebook usage among students at Lakan Dula High School during the 2010-2011 school year. It includes an introduction outlining the topic, a statement of the problem being examined, the significance and scope of the study. It also includes definitions of key terms, hypotheses, a literature review on related research, an explanation of the study methodology involving surveys. The bulk of the paper presents statistical data from the surveys on students' Facebook usage and their awareness of privacy issues. It concludes that students are not fully aware of privacy issues and offers recommendations to increase awareness of privacy settings and consequences of oversharing personal information online.
Cms298 presentation
Social media is an important part of teen social lives according to the document. It allows teens to strengthen existing connections by staying in touch with friends even when apart. However, it can also create drama as gossip spreads more widely and quickly online. While social media enables teens to meet new people with shared interests, it also risks hurting feelings if teens are excluded from online social circles or "unfriended". The lines between online and offline interactions are also blurred as many conversations start in one environment and move across various media.
Cms298 presentation
Social media is an important part of teen social lives and allows them to strengthen existing connections. It makes it easy for teens to stay in touch with friends even when separated geographically. However, it can also intensify drama as gossip spreads more quickly online. While social media allows teens to meet new people with shared interests, presenting themselves differently online than in person can create awkward social situations. Managing friend lists and privacy settings is also tricky as unfriending can unintentionally hurt feelings.
Gender on Facebook
This document discusses how social media sites like Facebook and Myspace shape perceptions of gender identity. It defines key terms like sex, gender, and gender identity. It then analyzes how users portray themselves through pictures, interests, and wall posts, often fulfilling stereotypes. Interviews with college students found they saw Facebook as a way to present an idealized image to others. There was debate around whether restricting gender options discriminated against transgender users.

Why Facebook Might Not Be Good for You:
Some Dangers of Online Social Networks
Walk into any computer lab at any college campus across the country and you’ll see dozen’s of students logged onto an online social network (OSN). In the last few years, the use of these networks has skyrocketed among Internet users, especially young adults. These new virtual communities are significantly influencing the way young people communicate and interact with one another. A report titled “E-Expectations: The Class of 2007” went so far as to label upcoming college freshmen “the Social-Networking Generation” (qtd. in Joly, 2007, para. 3).
In late 2006, the Pew Internet Project, a nonpartisan, nonprofit research group that examines the social impact of the Internet, reported that 55 percent of online teens have created a personal profile on OSNs and that 48 percent of teens visit social networking Web sites daily, with 22 percent visiting several times a day (Lenhart and Madden, 2007). The two most popular OSNs are MySpace and Facebook.MySpace is a general networking site that allows anyone to join, develop a profile, and display personal information. In less than four years of existence, MySpace has exploded to become the third most visited Web site on the Internet behind only Google and Yahoo (“Top Sites,” n.d.) with more than 100 million members (Joly). Facebook is geared more toward college students (until recently it required that a person attend a university to join the network) and is the number-one site accessed by 18- 24-year-olds. According to research studies cited in the Toronto Star, 90 percent of all undergraduates log on to Facebook and 60 percent log on daily (George-Cosh, 2007). Facebook has also experienced unprecedented growth in its relatively short existence and now ranks as the seventh most visited site on the Internet (“Top Sites”) and has a member base of more than 19 million (Joly).
With the use of OSNs increasing among young people, the term “Facebook trance” has emerged to describe a person who loses all track of time and stares at the screen for hours (Copeland, 2004). While “Facebook trance” might describe only an occasional and therefore harmless phenomenon, it gives rise to important questions: What are the possible negative consequences of OSNs? What should youthful users be watchful for and guard against? The purpose of this paper is to identify the possible harms of OSNs. I will suggest that overuse of OSNs can be a contributing factor to a decline in grades as well as to other problems such as a superficial view of relationships, and increase in narcissism, and possible future embarrassment.
I don’t mean to deny that OSNs have positive consequences for young people. For one thing, they provide a “virtual h ...

MKT 3510 Lit review
This article examines how Facebook involvement influences objectified body consciousness, body shame, and sexual assertiveness in college students. It studies 467 women and 348 men, evaluating time spent on Facebook, its importance to social life, and how actively one posts or observes others. It also evaluates body surveillance, appearance self-worth, and enjoyment of sexualization. The results found that women had more Facebook involvement and higher levels of body surveillance and appearance self-worth. Women also experienced more body shame, while men scored slightly higher in sexual assertiveness. The study shows Facebook can impact college students' perceptions of their bodies and sexuality.
Disadvantages of fb final
Facebook has become widely used but can have negative effects including wasting time, psychological problems, and privacy issues. Spending hours on Facebook each day can take away from relationships and productivity. Posting an idealized image of oneself can increase anxiety about how others perceive you and how important you seem to others. While Facebook allows people to connect, overuse may diminish real-world communication skills and increase loneliness, narcissism, and pressure to seek approval.
Unit 35
Facebook's purpose is to connect people and make the world more open. It allows users to share photos, videos, and experiences with friends and family both near and far. However, Facebook also faces legal and ethical issues. Investigations have found that sexual predators have used Facebook to solicit minors by posing as children. State attorneys general are investigating Facebook for how it responds to complaints about inappropriate content and solicitation of underage users. While Facebook aims to provide a safe platform, concerns have been raised that it does not adequately police its site and address issues reported by parents.
Social Media and Relationships
This document summarizes research on the effects of social media use on romantic relationships. It discusses how social media has changed how relationships form and develop through Facebook. Research shows that revealing too much personal information on social media can lead to relationship dissatisfaction due to jealousy and lack of trust. Spending excessive time on social media can also be intrusive and negatively impact relationships. While social media allows people to stay connected, oversharing details about a relationship online can damage it.

Social media has both benefits and drawbacks according to the document. While it allows for quick information sharing and community organizing, it also threatens privacy and enables cyberbullying. The document discusses concerns that social media is damaging communication skills in youth and eroding traditional cultural values in Africa. Studies found that over half of high school students experienced cyberbullying in the past year, which increased risks of depression, drug abuse, and suicide. Social media also introduces strains to relationships when negative events occur over networking sites, most often between friends or romantic partners known both online and offline. Overall, the document suggests that social media's negatives may outweigh its positives, especially regarding effects on children and youth.

Social Media Hurting
This document discusses some of the concerns around social media use and privacy. It notes that while social media allows easy access to information, it can be difficult to determine what information is credible. Even when privacy settings are used, personal information can still be shared more widely than intended, as was the case when Mark Zuckerberg's sister shared a private photo that was then posted publicly. The document also discusses how heavy social media use may negatively impact people's communication skills and ability to read nonverbal cues in face-to-face interactions. Survey results showed millennials report more issues like unintended sharing of posts or photos causing trouble at school or costing potential jobs compared to older generations.
The Alexander Padilla Show
A social networking service is an online platform that allows users to build social networks by connecting with other users who share interests and activities. Key features include user profiles, the ability to connect with friends and view their profiles, sharing content, and interacting through messaging. While social networks help users connect globally, they also raise privacy and safety issues that users must be aware of.

1. Psychologists are examining how social networking and texting impact teen friendships and development. While technologies have changed some interaction ways, teens still value qualities like loyalty and trust.
2. Studies show social media allows socially anxious teens a voice and lonely adolescents make new friends online. However, excessive internet use is linked to decreased well-being, and "always performing" online may shape identities less than self-exploration.
3. The future effects of managing friendships primarily through social media and texts on teen development and adult relationships remains uncertain, as face-to-face time fosters empathy and intimacy critical for health and connection.
SNSs & Friendship
Teens primarily use social media sites like MySpace and Facebook to maintain existing friendships rather than meet new people. These sites allow teens to extend their social interactions beyond physical boundaries. While social media can help teens get to know acquaintances better, they typically only use it to connect with people they already know offline or friends of friends. Performing friendships online through features like friending and displaying connections reflects teens' social status and identities. However, other features like ranking friends in a hierarchy on profiles can introduce unnecessary social pressures. Social media also tends to amplify teen drama that occurs both online and offline over issues of popularity, attention, and status.

Social Media Impact to Young Generation
In this decade social media use has gained high level of usage. Organizations and institutions have shifted from the formal way of communication and connected social media as way of communication because its simplicity. However, with all the applicability of social media in the current generation it has emerged as a tool to destruction for many young people. MySpace Facebook and Twitter are among many social sites that people choose to keep their communication through. Children and young people are using low language, engage in sex, immoral behaviors. Therefore, although social media has its benefits of cross border and regional connectivity of individuals, its impact on young generation morality cannot be overlooked. Social media has caused deaths and social mistrusts among many individuals and businesses.
First, social media has been used in spread of movies, audios and pictures that have negative impact to the viewers and especially generation. Lack of censure of the information through the social medial channels allows for any kind of information to pass to different recipients. Young people are the majority of the modern technology participants. Such information may have unaccepted behaviors such as sexually oriented materials, hate speech especially in situation where racial profiling is common, and cyber harass due to the possibility of hiding the identity of the social media participants. Information is known for its ability to change mind set and especially for young people who have not yet developed principles and therefore the information available to such people will be the information they will use to establish their life principles. Therefore sexual, improper communication and violence will be the most common principles that young people affected by these vices will be in their future life. Therefore, the future generation will fancy such vices which have a negative impact to the society in large. For most young people differentiating fantasy from reality has been a great issue. They are exposed to violence in the media which in most cases is a fantasy instead of the reality. Therefore young people believe in the violence spread by the media and they practice such violent acts amongst themselves. They also try the sexual behaviors they witness in the media which in most cases is very risk for young generation. Abortions due to unwanted pregnancies due to uncontrolled sexual behaviors as depicted by the media are become normal with the current generation (Clark 43).
Secondly, people and especially young people may not be aware of the privacy and confidentiality their personal data might be. Implication of sharing such information on social media of daring since most of social media sites do not have security policies. Therefore most young people might disclose confidential on the social sites causing distress after their identity and is .
Genevievefinalthesis
In this thesis I address the fundamental elements of Facebook’s makeup that affect resulting social behaviors from participation with the site. In my exploration I first define the relationship between communication and social realities. It is through this relationship we begin to understand Facebook’s significance in our culture. I then consider the forms of communication media by which Facebook exists and their qualities. After briefly describing the inclination of news media interactions to embody entertainment, I argue for Facebook’s presence as a news media platform. Once establishing this I discuss inconsistencies in the site’s social qualification and legitimacy due to the localization of users’ participation within the realm of a vast network of the possibly accessible information. Facebook space is qualified; that is, it has degrees of value that differ among users. These inconsistencies are the cause of new yet subtle movements within socially acceptable behaviors. It is the trust and reliance of other users to give and gain information, inter-user dependency, which realizes and perpetuates these movements.
SNSs & Friendship
This document discusses how teenagers use social networking sites (SNSs) for friendship-driven practices. It examines how teens make friends, perform friendships through features like friend requests and top friends lists, negotiate friendship hierarchies, and deal with issues of status, attention, and drama on SNSs. While SNSs allow teens to connect with more people, they typically interact with acquaintances and friends of friends on these sites. Public displays of connections and friend counts on profiles represent social status and identity for teens. SNSs also amplify and spread teen drama more widely.
Flipbook
Facebook and social media have changed how people interact with friends and family and reflect on themselves. While social media allows people to stay connected with friends and family, it also presents dangers like oversharing private information and increased cyberbullying. Facebook has impacted how relationships form, develop and end, with factors like relationship status updates, photos shared, and continued online interactions after a break up. More study is still needed to understand both the benefits and risks of social media on people's behaviors and well-being.
Chapter 3 presentation
Teens today use social media to develop and maintain romantic relationships. They communicate privately online to avoid parental monitoring. Some key findings:
- Teens meet potential partners online and use technology like instant messaging and social media to flirt and get to know each other.
- In relationships, teens expect constant contact and public displays of affection online. Monitoring partners' accounts is common.
- Breakups online can lead to bullying, but social media also enables exes to stay indirectly connected.
- While technology facilitates intimacy, it also increases teens' vulnerability to emotional harm from unwanted contact or spreading of private information.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
