Social media? Get serious! Understanding the functional building blocks of so...Ian McCarthy
Traditionally, consumers used the Internet to simply expend content: they read it, they watched it, and they used it to buy products and services. Increasingly, however, consumers are utilizing platforms –— such as content sharing sites, blogs,
social networking, and wikis–—to create, modify, share, and discuss Internet content. This represents the social media phenomenon, which can now significantly impact a firm’s reputation, sales, and even survival. Yet, many executives eschew or ignore this form of media because they don’t understand what it is, the various forms it can take, and how to engage with it and learn. In response, we present a framework that defines
social media by using seven functional building blocks: identity, conversations, sharing, presence, relationships, reputation, and groups. As different social media activities are defined by the extent to which they focus on some or all of these blocks,
we explain the implications that each block can have for how firms should engage with social media. To conclude, we present a number of recommendations regarding how firms should develop strategies for monitoring, understanding, and responding to different social media activities.

The personal opinions may vary from individual to individual. But the main essence of the topic is equally significant to all individuals irrespective of their age, gender and social positions (Huggins-Hoyt, 2014). Their duty towards the society should be unbiased and should have equal social responsibility to have higher chances of progress. The newer policies and procedures should comply well with the societal needs and personal demands should be supported at large. This will increase the welfare mechanisms and the humans service career development will be widened up.
The implications of media are vast and multifaceted, as media plays a significant role in shaping individuals, societies, and cultures. Here are some key implications of media:
Information and Communication: Media serves as a primary source of information, enabling individuals to access news, current events, and knowledge from around the world. It facilitates communication and connects people across geographical boundaries, fostering global interconnectedness.
Influence and Persuasion: Media has the power to shape public opinion, attitudes, and behaviors. It can influence individuals' beliefs, values, and decision-making processes through various techniques, such as advertising, propaganda, and persuasive messaging.
Democracy and Politics: Media plays a crucial role in democratic societies by providing a platform for public discourse, political debates, and holding those in power accountable. It serves as a watchdog, exposing corruption, promoting transparency, and facilitating citizen participation in the political process.
Social and Cultural Impact: Media has the ability to shape social norms, cultural values, and identities. It reflects and shapes popular culture, influences fashion trends, and contributes to the formation of collective memory. It also has the potential to reinforce stereotypes or challenge social injustices.
Education and Learning: Media can be a powerful tool for education and learning. It enables distance learning through online courses and educational platforms. It provides access to a vast array of educational resources, multimedia content, and interactive learning experiences.
Economic Influence: Media is a significant economic sector, comprising industries such as broadcasting, publishing, advertising, and digital media. It creates job opportunities, drives economic growth, and contributes to the global economy through advertising revenues and content distribution.
Ethical Considerations: Media raises ethical concerns related to journalistic integrity, privacy, accuracy of information, and the responsible use of media platforms. It requires ethical decision-making by media professionals and media consumers alike.
Media Literacy: The influence of media necessitates the development of media literacy skills. Media literacy empowers individuals to critically analyze and evaluate media messages, discern reliable sources, understand media biases, and make informed choices about media consumption.

Improving Workplace Safety Performance in Malaysian SMEs: The Role of Safety ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In the Malaysian context, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experience a significant
burden of workplace accidents. A consensus among scholars attributes a substantial portion of these incidents to
human factors, particularly unsafe behaviors. This study, conducted in Malaysia's northern region, specifically
targeted Safety and Health/Human Resource professionals within the manufacturing sector of SMEs. We
gathered a robust dataset comprising 107 responses through a meticulously designed self-administered
questionnaire. Employing advanced partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques
with SmartPLS 3.2.9, we rigorously analyzed the data to scrutinize the intricate relationship between safety
behavior and safety performance. The research findings unequivocally underscore the palpable and
consequential impact of safety behavior variables, namely safety compliance and safety participation, on
improving safety performance indicators such as accidents, injuries, and property damages. These results
strongly validate research hypotheses. Consequently, this study highlights the pivotal significance of cultivating
safety behavior among employees, particularly in resource-constrained SME settings, as an essential step toward
enhancing workplace safety performance.
